4th day of 3rd month year 10436.

Today was Nevadas 10th birthday. It's supposed to be a good day for him, but it isn't really. The reason for it is simple: the mark that Sola put on his face can now be sewn by the others and that will create unnecessary problems to him. So he wasn't in a great mood today.

The relationship with his mothers and Maria have become a little more distant. All because of Sola changing his attitude to his past self one before he escaped. He hates it, because deep down he doesn't want to act like that, but he still does because of her. It's obvious that he hates her deep down and wants to kill her, but he doesn't know how.

But currently, Nevada is in front of the window and looking at the white marking on his face, which he has become despise. He has a theory how to get rid of it, but he won't try it for two reasons one-it will hurt like hell. Two- she may put the mark back in his body, making the action to remove it, pointless.

So yeah. He has to live with it for now.

As he keeps looking at the mirror, the figure of Sola appears in it and says with an annoying voice"You still haven't done my mission."

"Because I'm ten. What to you expect? I won't do anything, until I'm stronger and older. So wait until then."Nevada replies in an annoyed voice.

"Don't drag it out boy. I still can kill your parents."she tells him, before disappearing from the mirror.

"Bitch."he mutters and walks away from the mirror to his room, where he puts on his clothes. After that, he sits down onto the couch, to think.

His now ten years old, which means his puberty will soon begin. Unlike humans, whos start at twelve, beastkin one starts at ten years old and lasts for four years. So by the age of fourteen, he will look like eighteen, which is nice. There is also the mating season thing, that will happen to him, when his puberty ends.

As he keeps thinking, he hears a knock on his door.

"Enter."he says, while staring out of the window.

One to enter is Maria, who closes the door behind her and says"Nevada. Why are you still sitting in your room. It's your birthday, so lets go celebrate."

Seeing no reaction from him, she gets in front of him and sees the mark, which she didn't see before, because his hand was covering it from his side. She looks at it and then looks at Nevadas eyes, which are staring at her.

"Nevada...Is that..."

"Mark of Sola?"he finishes her sentence and then continues"The answer is yes. That bitch did it."

"Nevada. You can't say that about a goddess."Maria immediately tells her, to which Nevada replies"I don't care. I call her what I want. And right now, it's Bitch."

Maria could immediately understand, that Nevada hated Sola, but now she was wondering another thing.

"How could you have it in the first place? You're race is associated with her sister. So why would she mark you. If it were her sister, then it would be more understandable. But for the Goddess of Light and Life to mark a cursed kitsune is.."

"Weird."Nevada once again finishes her sentence.

"Yes."she says.

After a shirt silence, she takes his hand off of his face, to see the mark more clearly. While observing the mark, she asks"When did it appear?"

"Exactly four years ago."he replies to her, while looking at her arm, which was touching his face.

"Four years."she repeats it to herself and then realizes"Thats when you changed...Is this the reason for your change?"

He just nods.

Her face turns sad, after getting the answer, which she hoped she won't get.

"Nevada."she says in a sad tone, while holding his cheek. She then sits next to him and pulls him into a hug. She starts patting his head, while holding him.

"Could you tell me what she wanted you to do?"she asks him with a concerned voice.

"Kill Despond."he replies to her.

She stops patting him, when she hears the name. She immediately grabs his shoulder after that and puts him to face her.

"Did you says Despond?"she asks him with a very serious tone, to which he answers"Yes."

"Nevada. Never. And I mean never fight with Despond!"she tells him in a very serious tone.

This the first time, he has seen Maria like this and this makes him curious about who Despond is. So he asks her"Who is Despond?"

"Despond is a dangerous man that appeared about eighty years ago. His true strength is unknown, but it is known, that the Demon Lords respect him a lot. He is also favoured by The Dark Goddess. As for appearance, it is said that his hair is gray, like his right eye. He wears a black cloth as an eyepatch over his left eye, which also covers the Dark Goddesses mark. There are a lot of stories about who he is and where he came from..But one thing is for sure. It's that he isn't a human. So listen to me. You must never attack him. Never. Do you understand Nevada?"

"Yes, but I still have to do it."he tells her.

"Why? Because Sola told you to do so? Why do you have to follows her orders?"she asks him oma serious tone, but gets no answer for him. He just turns his head to the right.

"Why Nevada?"she asks him again, but still no answer.

"Why?!"she half-yells, scaring Nevada a little. He lets out a sigh and turns his head to face her.

"If I don't, then she will kill you, Alice and Veronica. She will kill all of the people I care about."Nevada answers to her and lowers his head.

"Only one who will get killed, is you Nevada. Despond is much stronger then the other demon lords and even I can't kill a demon lord. I tried and failed when I was in my peak condition. So don't fight Despond."She tells him in a very serious tone.

"I don't have a choice. I can only drag it out, but in the end, I have to do it."he tells her in a serious tone too.

"Nevada. Don't fight him. If you do, you will die and both Alice and Veronica will suffer from it. Do you want that?"

"No. But I have no choice."he tells her.

She looks at him and knows that he can't change his mind.

"Fine. I see you won't change your mind. *Sigh*. If you want to have a chance, you need to find one of twelve god slaying weapons, hidden in this world. Then you may have a chance with my help."

When he hears her sudden change, he is surprised, but he understands that she understands that she can't stop him. So he asks her"What's a god slaying weapon."

"Exactly what it sounds like. There are twelve hidden weapons in this world, that can give the boost to a person, to kill a god. But finding one is incredibly difficult. Nearly impossible. And even if you find one, there is no telling that it will accept you, as the weapon chooses his owner and not the other way around. Right now, there are eleven weapons out there. The twelfth one has a owner already."she tells him.

"Who has the weapon already?"

"I can't say."she answers to him.

He can see, she knows who has it, but she probably isn't allowed to reveal the persons identity.

"I understand."he tells her.

"Good. So find a god slaying weapon and kill Despond. After that, kill the bitch who made you do it."

"Thats the plan."he replies to her, with a wry smile.

"Good to hear it."she continues"Also..Never mention Despond to your mothers for obvious reasons. If they ask why Sola marked you, then answer, that she wants you to change the opinion of people about cursed kitsunes. They won't doubt it."Maria tells her and Nevada replies with a yes.

"Good. Now lets go celebrate."she tells him and smiles to him.

'What a quick change of mood.'Nevada thinks to himself.

In "Heaven", Sola was in her garden and working on her flowers, when she stopped her action and said"Why are you here Nox?"

She got up and turned to look at her younger twin sister. She sees a beautiful woman with jet black hair and deep purple hair. Her skin is smooth and light beige. She is wearing a black long dress, which shows her cleavage.

"I'm here because I learned that you had ordered one of your marked people to kill my husband. And you can guess I am angry."Nox tells her sister, who crosses her hands and replies"So what? You're gonna kill me?"

"Nope. You Are my sister, so I won't kill you. But I will be happy when you die."Nox replies to her in a calm voice.

"I won't be dying any time soon."she replies to her.

"You will. I am a Goddess of Death, so I will know when someone will die. And your clock has started to tick."Nox says and turns around"Also... If you break another rule, I will tell father. He won't be happy to hear about it."

"Did you just threaten me?"Sola asks her in an angry voice.

"No. I warned you. Your death has been set to stone and is unavoidable. The person you threatened will bring your end, Sola Dark."

"Leave now and never appear here again, Nox Dark."Sola says with an angry voice, while trying to hold back his anger as much as possible.

"Next time I will return here, there will be a new god here."Nix tells Sola and before she disappears, says"I'll enjoy watching your death. Until then."

And she is gone now, without leaving any trace.

"Bitch."Sola mutters.
