War of the Demon

((locked to [livejournal.com profile] evil_god_monkey, [livejournal.com profile] spiderinscarlet, [livejournal.com profile] harley_is_love, [livejournal.com profile] spinstales, [livejournal.com profile] dragon_paragon, and associated spin-off journals of this one.))
((I'm going to at least kick things off here, so we can set up a whole division of labor and that kind of thing, even if not everyone's going to be around just yet. Things will likely spill out into some of my other journals as the action gets going.

I'm also going to be just a smidge presumptious in some of the assumptions of who's already gathered. Kakyoin and Gregory-muns, please forgive me.))


It was the fullest the Great Hall of Castle Wyvern had ever been. There was the Manhattan Clan: Goliath, Elisa, Brooklyn, Hudson, Katana, Lexington, Broadway, Angela, the watchbeasts, Bronx and Fu-Dog, and the hatchlings--Gregory (and quite possibly his father as well), Nashville, and Tachi. Many would have prefered to keep them out of this, especially Tachi, but it was quite likely they would be fighting for the very world tonight. They deserved to know what their elders were getting themselves into.

There was the Labyrinth Clan: Talon, Maggie the Cat, Claw, Delilah, Malibu, Brentwood, Hollywood, and Burbank. And of course, Kakyoin, permanent immigrant and Gargoyle LOL subject.

Matthew Bluestone, detective with the NYPD. Former partner to Elisa, ally to the Clan.

David Xanatos, billionaire, schemer, newfound ally. Fox Xanatos, his wife, formerly of the Pack. Owen Burnett, the Puck, trickster, powerless except in protection or instruction of Alexander Xanatos. New allies, all.

And, of course, newfound allies from afar: Ben, Faye, and Harley. Each special in their own way, with histories too long to go into here. The word had been sent, and it was on them that they waited.

It was, quite simply, a council of war.

"I assumed as much. Your skills seemed suited to it," Goliath replies. "But hold fast to your emotions. Demona has wronged us all, many times over. Revenge is a hollow, empty pursuit."

He shrugs. "I'm not gonna kill her. Just rough her up a bit."

"Forgive me, friend. These have been trying times..." Goliath trails off. "But together, we shall triumph."

"It's no problem." He shrugs, looking off to the side. "No doubt about it, she won't be hurting anyone else, ever."
