Behind it a man dressed in a red robe looking almost like a Shaolin Monk if not for his full head of bright red hair. His robe was also lined with golden flames, and the silk material was of such high quality that no monk could afford. He was a westerner with bright blue eyes and a clean-shaven face.

Tall, and muscular, standing just as proud as the pet lion that stood before him. He was very handsome and looked to be around his mid-twenties though his eyes told a different story.

"Jade, stop this madness, the Elder Counsel still has a spot for you. But you must stop this madness at once. Call off your followers and return with me. We can still salvage this fiasco. No mortals have been yet harmed. As for the lost, both sides have suffered enough don't you think." The red-headed man pleaded.

"Haha, you are always so full of yourself Keith." Jade spate back. She was a dark haired woman of chinses descent. Her hair was really long as it went past her toes in length it was tied back in a loose ponytail. She was dress in a two-piece Black suit with gold pinstripes. Her tie and inner vest were gold in color matching the pinstripes and also her eyes. Yes, her beautiful face held two golden eyes that seem capable of enchanting anyone who looked too deeply into them. The suit did little to hind her gorgeous body.

Once hailed as a once in a millennium genius Jade now was hunted down by the same group who once wors.h.i.+ped her as a second coming. Keith had pursued her for many years only to always fall short.

"Why should I bend my knee and serve a bunch of upstarts when I can rule them all with power beyond what they know." She stated with a grin. It was a breathtaking grin but it held evil in it. "Astaroth with the blood of Sylph I summon you." She chanted and her summons, a giant serpent with green wings started to contort and compress as blood oozed out of its pores.

Keith let out a sad sigh and said "To the north by the oath of Bor and by the nine rings of the Elder Counsel, old man Odin hear my call and fulfill your duty to Midgard. Odin G.o.d of wisdom, poetry, war, death, divination, and magic I summon thy with my life as the price paid gladly twice." as the last word left his mouth Keith's life ran out.

His summoned lion poofed in a cloud of smoke like if it was never there. Keith body seemed to age instantly leaving behind a wither corpse of a man that looked well in his hundreds. As it fell from the heavens it disintegrated into nothing but dust. His last thought was at least we will go down together. Maybe in our next life, I can free you of your hate. Even in death, he had a smile on his face.

Thunder flashed and lighting struck fires ran wild and winds tore threw all in sight. At the center of this crazy elemental storm stood a man whose age could not be determined. One second he looked like a boy, the next a mid-age man, then an old man with white long hair. His armor never changed nor his eye patch. On his shoulder stood two ravens and in his hand, he held a golden spear. His mount was a horse fully armored and it had to pairs of front legs. "Haha, To summon a The Lesser Key of Solomon in my realm is courting death young lady." He said with a grim tone as his crows made caw noises.

The now giant orb of blood that once was the wind serpent Sylph started to turn black. Soon it turned completely black til it started to crack. A young man naked as the day he was born stood where once was a black orb. He had long horns on his head and jet black hair. His pale skin in stark contrast. In his right hand, he held a sword that looked like a living serpent and in his left h.e.l.lfire burn in a ball ready to be used. His lazy appearance belied the evil intent of his eyes. Before he could even make a move Oden the Norse G.o.d struck. To be more precise his birds struck and visibly ate the newly summoned demon.

Oden himself launched his spear at the summoner, Jade. To her horror, she watched as the golden spear struck her ending all her plans and plots. Her last words were not for Odin but for the Elder Counsel she knew was watching from afar. "Haha, You think with his sacrifice you have won. You have not gained anything from this. I'll be back. Just wait for my reawaking. Now that you lost your trump card lets see how you stop me next time, Haha" She laughed her last breath as her body was shattered into a thousand stone pieces.

"By Bor Oath, I have come from beyond Ragnarok and by Bor's Oath, I have fulfilled. Now I go to rest with my father and lost sons of old." Odin's voice boomed as he disappeared as fast as he had come. As Odin said his part hundreds of dark streaks could be seen collecting all the stones that had fallen from Jade's broken form. Before the Elder Counsel could send their own troops forward all the pieces had been taken by the followers of the blood queen and they swiftly retreated.

That night was make in the hidden history annals as the night the world almost felt to the b.l.o.o.d.y queen. It was a day that the faithful followers of Jade morning not knowing when she would return. It was the day the Elder Counsel tried to forget. But threw out the Highborn society that day turned into a folk tale told to scare kids to behave. "Behave if not the b.l.o.o.d.y Queen will awaken to get you." they would say.
