Journey to the west

Ch 17

Amazed by Death's followers willing to join her without second thought,The Devil smiled as Death walked past him. "Being worshiped fits you, I think." He told her. Giggling at The Devil "Why that's a lot coming from you TD." Her eyes shifted towards him."I had two examples to learn from, too." She said slightly, grinning at him. See the story between Death and The Devil as old as time. When he fell from heaven after his rebellion, Death was his comfort at night. He would find lost souls on earth, and she would collect. No matter how mad he got at her for collecting souls for his father as well, he couldn't stay mad forever. People worshiped him as a god lord knows they would even kill in his name. People would go for miles just to make please him. Even with all that worship, he wasn't happy with it. Now Death, the one lady that would ferry souls to heaven or hell, was now being worshipped just like he was for years. She was even doing a better job at it than he ever did. When he was worshipped by the world, he would have forced people into servitude or killed them. "Now let's go off the the other village." Death said, breaking his train of thought. "Let me guess another village full of women and children?" He said to her as they rode along. "Why no, this one has my most loyal followers. We will need all the help we can get before we take on antichrist and Jesus." The Devil looked confused."Wasn't this your most loyal followers?" He asked, amazed by her response. "These women aren't even my most loyal. I was hoping to play their god without haplessly killing them off, but oh well, i guess." Realizing the truth of the situation, Death wasn't just worshiped for her being death, but she had planned to battle both forces with her own army. Question rang loud in The Devil's head. The flicker in his eyes dimmed as he lowered his head. "Why did you agree to join us if you had all this?" He questioned, knowing she was only loyal to herself, but deep down, he knew he needed her. "Why that answer is simple. I wanted to see my fellow horsemen get their part of the new world." She said, smirking "Also i heard the wolf clans are making moves against every faction, even their fellow clans men." She finished brushing a piece of hair to the side of her face. The Devil went pale. How could he forget about the wolf clans. They were created with two soul purposes to bring freedom to each human on the planet and to destroy him and the four horsemen. "Last I heard they disbanded years ago Death." War said, appearing next to Death and The Devil. She shook her head "No War they didn't disband. They broke off into three clans, each having their own goal on the future of the world. Death's eyes glinted. "The one I'm interested in is the ones that are led by the mysterious one." They stopped on the edge of the village."The mysterious one's clan has destroyed even my faith in a world ruled by me." She bated her eyes, forcing The Devil to look away shyly. The next thing Death said made The Devil turn quickly. "They say the mysterious one has the powers of all us. He was experimented on, and they combined not only his flesh to our power but a bloodlust that wasn't going to be quenched easily." Death said, shrugging her shoulders."Imagine what kind of human that must be." She said."If we could recruit them, not even antichrist's army could stand up to them. These humans not only have our powers but are some of the most cunning and ruthless humans ever." Death said, continuing her story."I sent some of my followers for their bodies, yet they came back to me dead. Heads chopped off, eyes cleanly cut out of their skulls, their hands ripped off their bodies as if an animal gnawed them off." Death said, staring down at the village that had yet to notice them. "TD this clan especially is not a clan we should go against half c****d. I have barely any information on them, and they kill anyone not in the clan." She said as The Devil had flashes of the cloaked figure that had gotten the better of him. Was this person a part of the famous wolf clans? If so, why attack now after all these years and leave him alive? Did they have a bigger game at play than Antichrist and Jesus war that was about to make head? He had to get answers, and the only one that had answers was the wolf clans, but which one should he start with? "Let's go see my most loyal followers." Death said, breaking his train of thought as they began to lead their horses down the bevel.
