Ryo walked back into the huge room of the archives as his eyes glew purple with rage, he slammed the archives of the Scale upon a near table and in a roar of anger used his telekinetic abilities to have all book spinning around him in his darkest voice called out:
"Raven, if you are here show yourself today is the day we plan to strike Ashen Windsong."
He stood there awaiting the Raven and stopped the books in mid air waiting for the only source against Ashen to show up.

A voice. It calls to me. Familiar yet understandable. This is none other than the demon. The tool to strike at Ashen Windsong. Faljere has returned. The Scale is allied with the Church. How long will it take for other minds to turn towards me? I'll show them how unwise a decision they've made.
At first in darkness, the Raven leaves his shadowy home in the insubstantial plane and reappears where he is being called. He stands atop a bookshelf, watching the pathetic creature pace back and forth as it waits for the Champion.
Perhaps a little mind game to announce my presence. Then we will get down to business.
He sticks out his right arm, and the smoky shadows that trail behind him multiply around the demon; soon, they take on his form, all of them looking at him with blank expressions.
"Greetings, Ryo," the Ravens all say in disturbing unison. "A little trick I learned. I hope you enjoy it."

Ryo saw many copies of him almost too many and calmed down at the little game the Raven offered:
"Well I certainly can't turn down a lil fun now."
Ryo closed his eyes dropping all beside him as his eyes now turned purple, the game seemed fun as he threw a book towards a clone hoping for the best he held his breath

A sloppy attempt. The truth shouldn't be so subtle for him. I am surprised. But I am not.
The book flies through the duplicate's head, sending the shadows back to the ground, only to reform instantly in the shape of the Raven.
"You have summoned me here," they all cry. "What is our business this time?"

Ryo sighed it was time he did what he and Nexus desired most. Revenge. His eyes glew brighter and brighter as his eyes grew hate:
"We strike Ashen Windsong. She dared capture a loved one and tortured. I deserve to strike back to her taunt. Raven help me take her down! Help me teach her a lesson to mess with demons."
Ryo levitate himself to the height of the Raven his mouth in a snarl of rage and eyes smoking with purple. There was no way he was going to let Ashen Windsong go through with her act, punishment was now long overdue. Still with the ability to control with his mind he levitate his throwing weapons and slowly started to 'throw' them as he hit slowly each copies of the Raven.

"Demons. Pheh! Nefarious and vile creatures. In Her eyes--and therefore my eyes--no more than a blight. A blight on purity." He slides through the many bookcases, staying out of Ryo's sight as he launches his multiple knives at his shadowy copies. The weapons slide right through them, slowly but surely, having no effect on them as they continue to stare at him and speak to him.
But perhaps our little game here is done. Perhaps it is time to let him see. Who he is working with. And to formulate our plan of attack.
The shadows surround the room like a hushed storm, and when it dissipates the copies are all gone. The Raven stands in the center of the room, staring up at the floating demon through the eyes of his mask. Already, there is a crack along the bridge leading up the middle and to the forehead, glowing blood burgundy as the stone energies spill from it.
"But in this case, I think not. What would you have me do to her? Or perhaps even those close to her? Is there no one she cares more about than her family?"

Ryo's eyes glew and his smile was a wide grim filled with evil and mischief, so that was her weakness, her family. He laughed so evil and insane like, pleasure, happiness, chaos causing and revenge. He slowly lowered down still laughing as his knives whirled around him and into his throwing weapon holders. Purple mist layer around and slowly hugged Ryo's feet, he looked at the Raven his voice still the same yet resonating throughout the walls, his soul wavelength stronger than ever driven mad by revenge and rage:
"Her family huh? Well then I know she loves that dearest little Drow of hers yet...I want her to suffer more...I want the Drow yet someone else she holds oh so dear to her...yet who. Tell me Raven, you who mastered the shadows better than I can ever dream of, who are others that are so oh dear and precious to her?"
Ryo rose a purple mist clone of Fallen and chuckled madly at his mockery of the Drow, he lightly shushed the clone before beheading it with his hand in a loud honk of laughter:
"I simply want to torture her, torment her and make her run run run like a chicken without its head, make her cower in fear and despair before you...drop the red curtain on what will be a dead Ashen Windsong or at least a very near to death injured Ashen. I will do to her what she has done to my beloved...you may think my kin is uncapable of love Rave...yet I assure you we know how to love when we find the right one..."
His eyes were filled with anger and tears, enough suffering for him, after what had happened to Wise he wasn't going to let Synaria in any pain than she was:
"...and that is why the leader of the Silver Scale must pay."

"The Drow, she holds dear to her heart. That annoying rabbit as well. And the warrior known as Jay shares a close bond with her. Attacking any of them will cause her distress. Attacking all three will send her into a blinded frenzy. She will attack anyone near and far."
He spins around, his impressive cloak surrounding his body. "Or she will attack directly the one that has caused the pain. In her angered state, her skills will be numbed and tainted by untarnished rage. I can play with her mind. I can shred her soul. Finally, I can-and most certainly will-break her body."
The Champion looks at Ryo with empty eyes.
Demons can love. Now this is a surprise. But I can see how he loves who he must protect. Strange. But is it love? Or is he blinded? Blinded by utter devotion?
Once more, he slips between the shelves, slithering like a serpent around the room. "She will lie before me, battered and bloodied, before the end. Then you will have your way with her. Only if I may do what it is that I must do to her in the meantime. And only if you fulfill your end of the bargain."

Nexus had taken over Ryo to his request, the sewed mouth of Ryo was plain and empty, his eyes glowing the milky purple it would per usual in his state. As a sign of respect Nexus stopped all of Ryo's theatrical effects to which he found annoyingly amusing to watch. The Raven's request was fair; mutilate Ashen Windsong so he could deliver the finishing blow if it were needed. And those loved ones of hers were the perfect bait. Yet how could he take the rabbit, the young Jay along with the Drow as captives without having them in anyway, shape or form have a chance of fighting back or escaping? Perhaps the Raven had an idea:
"How will we manage to keep them captive without any chance of escape? How are we even going to capture them?"
He remembered the promise he made to the Raven regarding Demon Binding, well a promise was a promise and he couldn't backstab him when I needed his alliance. He gave him a piece of paper with his name written on it:
"Read this Raven, read it out loud."
Upon the paper was written in purple blooded ink: *Nexus Cronamite Amporus* Ryo hoped that the Raven would simply do as he said without hesitation.

The Raven takes the paper and looks at Ryo suspiciously.
Am I to trust him? Equivalent exchange is not practiced by all. Of course, a promise is a promise. I will do what he says. In return, he will do as I say.
He lifts it to his eyes and opens his mouth. "Nexus Cronamite Amporus." He murmurs in a hushed, elongated tone. "And this is my reward. The reward for ridding Ashen of her pride and her life. You need not worry too much. I have three acolytes--operatives, more or less--whose specialty it is to capture, kill, and hide the evidence. The death of Idina Doc may have been at my hands, but it was them who forced her into my grasp."
I am sure this man knows of her death. If not, he's in for quite the shock.
"It is this act that has made me an enemy of the scale. It is also this act that has helped me keep my eye on them. I know their strengths. Their weaknesses. Their desires and longings and how to deny them both." He slowly strides in a circle, his cape coiling around whatever it passes. "I will hold them with my operatives. I will lure them in with my knowledge. I will keep them where they would only wish to not be kept. That should send Ashen running after me like a madwoman. There, I'll be waiting."
There, her punishment shall be waiting. For as Her champion, I punish those who have sinned against Her. To act out against one of Her champions is a sin. Such is Her will.

Once the words said a flash of purple and burst from within Ryo's body as a soul shackle connected from Nexus to the Raven, a smile upon Nexus' mouth. The binding was done, the Raven could now manipulate Nexus as much as he wished:
"By saying a demon's name you are able to bind him. Which is what you've just done with me. You are only able to control me, Nexus, and not Ryo."
He looked at the Raven a sly smile on his face as he stood before him. A swift flick of his wrist and a scroll with the Scale members information was in his hand. He opened it:
"I will leave the capture of the members to you, if you won't mind that I...obliterate the Silver Scale itself while you drive Ashen away."

I now have another instrument of chaos. The Six have a friend to play with. And once they have been used up, I will end them. Abominations. Blights on Her purity. It matters not how they will end up. Only how I use them now.
He takes the scroll from the demon and lifts it to his face. He reads the words upon the parchment before rolling it up once more and placing it into his belt pouch, and he then turns to the demon again.
"You'll have your prey soon enough, Nexus," he susurrates.
