Lightening cracked above, the pitch black sky sizzling with arcane energies as the soot covered ground beneath Azazel’s feet crunched and cracked. Bones littered the landscape, half melted skeletons of ancient creatures that had roamed the realm of Hell before the incarnation he and Lucifer had so brutally crafted. It was a haunting return to a time and place in Azazel’s history... one where he had let utter darkness consume his once divine essence... this manifestation provided by the astral realm was a deadly accurate rendition of his memory as a shadowy figure vanished from sight, apparently the astral realm could not or would not recreate an image of the King of Hell.... Azazel smirked as he bent down and picked up a handful of ash.
“So much carnage....”

The astral realm pulled her into a place she was familiar with. Hell was as much a home to her now as Earth, and she had moved through memories and magical documents from its earliest moments, into Lucifer’s ascension, on onward. He was private about Azazel though. Memories of his brother were sealed away and kept private, most likely for both of their sakes. There was much to hide, much to ignore, much to pretend didn’t happen, and yet after Azazel was released, the emperor of hell seemed a little more free.
“If you keep living in the past, the present will pass you by,” Bulma said in tease as she formed a physical presentation of herself in the realm. “It still haunts you doesn’t it?” she asked, looking up to him.

Azazel opened his hand and let ash fall to the ground as he turned to Bulma. He never was shocked or surprised when she appeared...and of course she was right.
“Yes...of course it does....” Azazel’s eyes peered outward and what could of only been described as a thousand suns going supernova at once.... Lucifer had done this... he had done this... all so very easily.
“This old dimension had held things deadlier than most can imagine.... we had to clean it up... shape it into what we wanted... all of this with a simple...”
Azazel raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
“Two snaps... one from me... and one from Lucy...”
You could almost still hear the faint ringing of the snapped fingers as Azazel knelt down upon the ground and picked up a charred skull that half blew away in a slight breeze.
“I live in my past... because the past has a way of repeating itself my dear... I walk now in a universe that is foreign to me... and will undoubtably be the next phase of annihilation.”

Bulma smiled gently as he agreed so easily, letting her gaze drift back over the dreary setting. Bones and dust, ruin and pain. She lifted her hand, mimicking the snapping gesture but too loose to actually make a sound. He knelt and she looked back to him.
“By who?” she asked, scrunching her nose. “It’d be such a waste...but perhaps so was this.” Of course she could relate to her own people and society turning to dust but she remembered Lilim. Hell might have been just as cultured and beautiful as the universe she now knew.

Azazel had no problem admitting he lived in his past, haunted by it... haunted by what he had allowed himself to become. He had admitted this to her before so what play coy with it now.
“By who?” The prince shrugged his shoulders. “You are a smart woman....it is not such a difficult problem that you could not solve it”
Standing the prince dusted off his gloves looked directly into Bulma’s eyes.
“Perhaps everything has been a waste...perhaps not... fate is a fickle bitch.....but I do agree with you I need to be more in the moment.” A devilish smile crossed his face as he spoke, a spark glimmered in his eyes as he took a step forward.

Her nose scrunched again at his reply. It was quite the difficult problem. Power in the universe were steadily growing. Unit 5000 had required four fighters of what was considered above average strength to be defeated. Now beings like Chaos and Yan made the android laughable. Forces were rising, and more and more beings were gaining power while another Galactic War seemed just out of hand.
It was a difficult question because there could be many answers, though she supposed the number of people with that kind of true power were limited.
She looked back to him, mildly surprised to see him looking at her so intently. She smiled again, studying his face as if it might tell her more than he would say.
"And what are you planning to do now?"
KronoToday at 9:46 PM
A slight chuckle emanated from Azazel at the question.... curious...curious.... there was so many things the prince wanted to do... so much that needed to be done. But what he really needed to do was continue absorbing the realms as they were now, restoring himself and preparing for what would inevitably come.
"Planning... nothing really my dear.... just restoring what I've lost.... and waiting."

"Waiting is not exactly living in the moment," Bulma replied with a laugh. "What if you run out of time?"
