The disappearance of the pillars of light sadden me deeply, three good generals and council members that have fallen just for my sake. 

Madra the maid, controller of fire, cleaver of souls, Thorn a Dragon Harpy, Attribute Lava. Berserk mode is nearly unstoppable.  Sable the Null Butler, His orb can suppress or take any power.  All three had joined me and followed my every order.

In my hand their soul pendants laid, I squeeze them tightly and  send out my soul, searching. For my five remaining and new potential recruits. 

I concentrated and from the shadows a portal appeared, out came a pack of  shadow dogs, except their lowerhalf was that of a fish, so it was like a dog mermaid. 

Roubus, the shadow dog mermaid, beings of pure shadows yet has a physical form. Though they have a core situated in their head, they are extremely agile they have a knack for surprise.

Find a girl of shadows, she will be able to change her appearance,  A jester of shadows, he will be made of air. A teenager of black and white, she either will be passive or raging, she is a balance freak so make sure two of you appear at a time.  A Wolf of Ice, he should be able to freeze the surrounding area,  I know where the last member of the council resides,  Find them" I told the pack of dogs and they howled, before diving into the ground yet left 

I sighed and started to head toward the basement of my castle, the shadows rippled as I traveled through them,  Many layers of defense still protected much of the underground, luckily for the invaders they haven't penetrated into the deeper realms or else a monster more terrifying than death would have been unleashed. 

After passing the nth barrier I arrived in a room with a spherical ball of water, inside of this ball was a ball of air, a girl was floating, weeping, wailing, her skin was full, plump,  a lively look yet she seemed to be suffering. 

"I see you're doing well, Green my dear."

"Is it time for me to eat?, Drink? Please, I haven't eaten in centuries since you trapped me here.  I long for food, water, LIFE" the girl shrieks and cries, banging the wall of air.

"Yinna has done her job well for you to still be stuck here, It takes a toll on her but if it is to keep you in check she would gladly do it, I am not sure of her "Other" but this way it limits both of you, you can't get out and she can't use her powers to her full extent. 

"What do you want" the girl scoffs. 

"I may need your powers very soon, though I would love to refrain from releasing such a dangerous existence such as you." I replied and clapped my hands, the bubble of air that was surrounding the girl , she plunge into the water and the water started to ripple, slowly shrinking as if disappearing, it became more darker, yellowish in comparison to the clear color of earlier.  A scream rang out in the room and the water took the form of a snake, it shrieked before losing it's form, the water completely disappearing.  

"Oh, Yinna left behind Visera, such an important part of her power, two parts returned to her and now she can control three of four. To think she was living with only one power node available to her.  I think I may have saved her life now" I smirked and Withers growled at me, "If you have the power to release me then release me, I have no time to waste being here." 

"Nice to see your power still works, I have finally decided that it is time to get revenge against Ira for all her misdeeds against us demons, I know how you long for bloodshed so in due time you shall be released, but I need a competent commander of my forces, I have come to see how you're doing and see if you know a suitable person." 

Withers glared at me with malice before she spat out,  "I've been trapped in here so long that I forgot my old life, but in my clan there should be some suitable figures, East Mountains, Border of Ira's domain" 

I grinned and bowed to her "Thank you for your time" I said and left.
