Serenade flicked her ears as she shouted again. "HEY!" She called out, now not too fond of the situation. Silence once more. "Dammit, what's going on? Are one of you asses playing a damned trick?"

Dominic too waited for a response.

~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, underground Dante came face to face with the rift. He wasn't alone though. He noticed a man, or what he believed to be a man holding his hands up to the rift. But he wasn't feeding the rift, the closest Dante could explain was that he was interacting with the rift at a profound level, but not nearly as intimate as the level Jaegar had met the rifts on. Dante drew his sword.
" Who are you?"

He asked. The figured turned to him with a inviting smile.
" Come and see, child."

Nothing didn't seem to be in the air save for the stillness that bothered even Serenade. After a couple more moments, the voice boomed again.

"...Are you really going to try?" Serenade flicked her ears. "To try something that should not be done?"

Dominic looked around.
" In the name of Yggdrasil, I demand you show yourself."

The envoy of the universe tree commanded of the disenbodied voice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dante approached the stranger, but kept a sword length's away.
" I hope you don't mind if I voice my suspicion of you?"
" You have every right, but I asure you I don't bite."
" I'll hold you to that."

Dante said.
" What are you doing?"

The stranger turned to him and again smiled wirely.
" I'm making it so you don't have to sacrifice."
" W-what do you mean?"
" Exactly as I said. There is a way to close them with sacrificing a god or two. You just need my help."

Dante stopped to ponder this strangers words. It was too good to be, but.....
" Continue."

The mercenary told him.

The woman soon emerged, revealing herself to be the first and foremost goddess of Carleon.

"Who... are you?" Serenade asked.

"Your lives end here if you wish to reach past this..." The woman only stated.

Dominic teleported in front of the goddess and grabbed her.
" Surely one as beautiful as yourself must be as equelly intelligent and therefore know the cruelty the rifts will unleash if left alone, correct?"

He asked as he gently kissed her hand.

~~~~~~~~~

" I hope you won't be insulted if I can't quiet explain the nature of the gods and the rifts and how they interact with each other. Let me tell you there is a way to stop the rifts. Also you need is this, and another participant."

He said as the stranger pulled a hauntly black orb from his sleeve.
" With this orb, you would be able to use another god as something akin to a lense. Project your power through them and you'll be able to seal the rift as masterfully as a surgeon."

He said with a wicked grin. Dante thought about what the man was offering.
" Then why haven't you done it?"
" Because I'm not a god, nor have a fellow recipiant."
" So you expect me to believe you?"

The old man cocked his head to one side.
" No, I am just enabling you to try a different path. One of less sacrifice."

"You do realize why I am here? And sadly, I was once married. The bond hasn't left me." The woman said before placing on her sunglasses. Her hair shone black with white tips in the sunlight, and a blue scarf adorned her neck with icy blue eyes staring at him.

" I can only imagine why your here, but we've already sent someone down there."

Dominic shrugged.

~~~~~~~~

The stranger suddenly turned to the rift.
" S-something's wrong."

He said. Dante began to turn the rift as a massive burst of energy knocked him to the ground. The ground above suddenly exploded suddenly, nearly knocking Dominic and Jaegar out of the sky.

"Hm?" Serenade was quickly hit into the sea, causing her to curse loudly. Leira on the other hand, backed away and flicked her wrist, looking down at the rift. "What the...?"

A great chasm opened in the black sky above Dante. The sound of the universe coming unraveled in his head causing it to ache sorely as he rolled on his back to glance at the blindly blue sky he was so familar with. He half expect the water to come in and crush him but the energy being emitted from the rift prevent the upstoppable wall of waves from doing so. The stranger fell to his knees and grabbed Dante by his collar and dragged him in close.
" Fool, you must do it now! Grab the angelus and use her to close the rift."

He shouted and clenched his teeth tightly before shoving Dante back to the ground and disappeared into the darkness of the corners of the newly formed cavern. While Dante looked up to the sky he saw a figure with wings but saw no sign of Jaegar and Dominic. He scanned the skys for Serenade. All while doing this he never once noticed the darkness creeping up his arm from the onyx jem in he grasped tightly in his hand.

Serenade was above... flapping her wings as she sighed deeply. "...Damn... what the hell happened?" She asked as she searched for Leira, who seemed to have disappeared.

Use her

A voice hissed in Dante's head like long piercing finger nails against his brain. Dante sat up and grabbed one side of his head in a vain attempt to make the continuing pain stop.
" No."

He gritted his teeth. He looked up at the angelus in the air.
" I-I can't use Serenade."
No, the other. Use her to seal the rift. you can save them Dante. You can save everyone
" I....I......"

Now that the voiced mentioned it he felt someone else's presence. Thank's to his brother's knowledge of old tomes and the books that he had left behind, Dante had gained the ability to feel mana a long time ago, though he rarely used it. It acted as a sort of radar, but once he came familar with a mana source, he could pick it out in a crowd, albeit, with a little trouble. When it came to sensing the mana of those from different universes, it was very different that senses those from his home. Though mana, as discrepant and colorful as it was, was essentually still mana. In a way, this made it easily to tell their mana apart from others.

Dominic's was easy enough to find of the five he could sense nearby. Which, was the eeriest part, for even after confirming each of the signatures, he could not sense the stranger he had met earlier. They could have easily have teleported away, but even if that was the case, a small trace should have been left to tell it apart from the four remaining mana's. The mana nearest to Dominic he assumed to be Jaegar's. It was light, but felt as if to have a tint of grass green and sky blue, possibly even outlined with a darker sea blue too. Serenade's was still strange to him, but compared to the other he felt, the angelus above him was her. The last must have been the newest person to join the small party the rift was hosting.
Yes...... her

The angelus above him frowned as if she understood what was going on within Dante's mind. She swerved closer and yet further away from the rift, her white wings picking up on the winds floating westward as if to avoid Dante. "Please... you know there is another route to this." She began as Serenade eyed the woman.

"What are you two talking about?"

"He plans on using me to seal the rift."

"What!? Dant-"

"Do not blame him... it is justified, is it not?" Leira asked as she looked to the woman, her icy eyes flashing with valor. Serenade's ears could only flop and her tail could only droop as she nodded in understanding.

"It makes sense... you believe since I am the goddess of Carleon that... that I would be the perfect fit to seal this rift?" She asked Dante face to face.

Dante squeezed the gem in hopes of breaking it, but he knew no matter how hard, it wouldn't break. Nothing was that easy.
" It's not that easy, I don't know the results of what this would bring."

He explained as his head drooped to the side. The immense shame he felt currently made their glances feel like daggers burrowing in him. Dante was never so unsure of himself in his whole life.

"Stop!" She cried out as looked to Dante. Serenade stood there as she frowned. "What are you honestly trying to pull?" She could only asked as her ears and tail stiffened in the air.

" I can use, I never got your name, as a lense to amplify and control my mana in such a way to actually seal the rift. Don't ask how I found out I could do this, I just do. It's just, I don't know what will happen with you afterwords."

Dante explained, refering to Leira.

Leira glared at Dante. "No way. NO WAY." She breathed as she raised her blade, shaking her head. Vorpal was soon at Dante's throat...

" Well, you asked."

Dante retorted, angry at himself for only now having his hand on Alara's hilt.
" Otherwise you have to throw yourself into the rift."

"Hey guys... why don't I just jumped there?" Serenade asked. "I can come back... I know I can find a way out!"

" You think that'll work? Encase, you remember what happened to Jaegar's brother? I'll go if Leira's not going to help."

Dante said, stepping towards the rift.
