Eric is an infernal with a knack for finding blind spots in plain sight. And if he can't find a way around something, he can definitely talk his way through it. Rocky hired him once ever for a very specific task, and now Victory won't allow him to leave. Now Rocky spends most of his time trying to convince the party's bastard to cuddle with bears.
Kenji! Is Eric's paid help, but is really just kept around because he's very cute, even with the terrible attitude.

JENNIFER LOPEZ (SINGER AND ACTRESS) STARRING IN A MOVIE ABOUT A DECEASED FAMOUS SINGER
AND
THE INHABITING THING IN THAT SINGER'S GRAVE ๐ชฆ
๐๐ซ๐ข๐ & ๐๐๐ฃ๐ขโฆโฆ+โฆโฆ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ & ๐ท๐๐๐
The rise of his voice - a moment of frustration and anger was one of the only flickers of conviction the Pythia had seen of Eric in some time now. Hollowed out by his own discomfort - his choice to stradle the line between this life and the next would be his downfall. Unable to choose until all that remained was the pitiful indecision to return to a world that had already cast him aside once. โYou should have spent these months learning to secure your own fate instead of wallowing in self-pity, abhorrence or expecting someone else to do it for you.โ A serpentโs hiss rounded out the snap of her own fangs, the glimmer of hues daring him to test another bark in her presence. Still, she softens - smiles, and shakes her head gently, โI never needed to make you a monster, Eric. Youโve been one since birth - and everyone, including your mother, knew it.โ Itโs flippant, haphazard, the way she speaks. As though every word she spoke were facts well known. โYou were exiled long before the pack turned itโs back on you, and it seems youโre itching to experience that all over again.โ
โIf all you see here is destruction, youโve not been looking hard enough.โ The asphodel - the Necronomicon, was wrought with the creation of all things frowned upon. To stop death in its tracks, open realms beyond this one, and bring about a world that no longer saw those with such an affinity banished to barren lands. Eric had yet to see the totality of the destruction that she could wrought and as she wove the intricacies of power around her finger, the once regaled seraphim condemned the volatile to a life of bridled pain. A shortened life, beyond the safe haven of those willing to do anything - his body would seek to reject the hearts granting - long life, and strength beyond all else. Rue the control he sought being safe - the fire within him deserved so much more. The spark of a flame ignites and the blackened candles surrounding the room cast long shadows across the room. โYour troubles are your own, Eric. I offered you opportunity, and you squandered it. Perhaps the harbinger wonโt mind another disappointment.โ

โWhat difference does a pack of wolves have to a coven? A court?โ She waved a hand rather flippantly, the subdivision of species was a rather dull tactic to take when it came to the route of survival. Overdone, overworked and predictable. Centuries could pass among any of them before a spark of change, of lifeย could pass through and reinvigorate the masses.ย โDo you not heed my voice in your mind as a beta would an alpha? Do you not feel protected? Safe?โ Did they not know, that Pythia would burn the world down for those devoted enough to help see her through this? That Lucretia, August, Bastian, Levent, were now the closest thing to family sheโd known in centuries - locked within the inferno after being fought and brought down by her siblings and gods alike. She had raised hell on those whoโd betrayed her in the past, and sheโd been far more forgiving as one of the blessed.ย โYou have a mind, and will of your own. I understand the premise of what the Asphodel stand for, but we are for all those that have never belonged - been cast aside for daring to satiate our own curiosity.โ And perhaps, his would be his own downfall this turn. Laughter blossomed on cherry tainted lips,ย โI donโt need weapons, Eric. Iโm one of the fallen, risen from the inferno. There is nothing like me within this realm or the next.โ Not yet,ย โThose that choose to follow me deserve far more than their lot in life, perhaps you believe youโre only ever meant to be one of many.โ
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย She spoke, an effortless command that was fit to seek out reason and not insight fear but it still made the inner child within them tremble. They always resounded that their bark was far worse than their bite, the Exile always falling mercy to sabotaging situations because of their indecisive nature. It was what wrought this collision now, him and a fucking fallen angel turned greater demon and though his jaw was clenched in that spasm of anxiety, Eric wouldnโt wilt under the idea of submitting to this creatures flawed tactics of unleashing evil upon the world they secretly, deep down, cherished. โNo, I donโt feel fucking safe,โ it was barked out with a rueful laugh, their face scrunched as though the Pythia would smite them for the mere admission, though the statement was paired with a haphazard shrug. One of many, that could resound another hollow laugh, but they bit the action back, instead nodding grimly. It was true that their cowardice had simmered them to this creature which lacked a back bone and only lashed out when backed into a corner; it was how theyโd survived so long. โYeah, Iโm certainly more of a follower than a leader, carving out some wicked path of destruction, you got me there.โ There was no sarcasm for it bore a sad truth for the lycan, โIโll be a bit happier keeping my hands clean from all your troubles,โ for once theyโd stood their ground on an opinion instead of skulking towards what everyone else had done; what August had done. He often thought of the necromancer, their only friend once upon a time who they now no longer recognized as a dull malfeasance took over Augustโs gaze.

ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย It would be typical fashion for the volatile to slink away, seemingly undetected, the Exile always running from one life and community to the next. Nothing ever seemed to fit, it was a maddening cycle in their life and though this was yet another failed excursion for them, Eric felt strangely confident in the idea of the Lupo; of leaving this wretched coven behind. Their thoughts of August were palpable with anguish, the necromancer was on a steep slope downwards and Eric leaving would only inflict further disaster, but for the lycan it was a necessity. Marcella was the only other factor in the equation that allowed Eric to be uneasy; August could handle himself, make peace with the flames that engulfed his tarnished soul, but Eric knew wholeheartedly that Marcella and he were ravaged by their own guilt for their decisions of imminent survival. The two necromancers Eric had joined for may understood his decision but they were polar opposites in lieu of handling it. โDonโt you think a lycan is better suited with an actual pack? What have I offered to you besides violence?โ They shook their head, anxiety was surely engulfing them in this very moment, a verbal face off with the Pythia, โBut, I guess all you ever really wanted from me was a weapon, anyhow.โ

It was a wonder any of them believed they could breathe within the confines of the coven and she wouldnโt know about it. The entirety of the Otherworld now beneath the ruling of Levithan and Ayiโig left little to be considered, and yet, sheโd allowed Eric to continue believing that his intention existed within the darkened confines of his own mind, that alone. The heated drink she held in her hand - something otherwise wickedly sweet where bitterness existed in the very fingertips that burned with it, a small comfort in an almost domestic setting for her.ย โYouโre going?โ She sat up a little straighter, a crease forming between narrowing brows, how bold of him. Better had he tried to slip out unseen; perhaps she might have even commended him for such gall.ย โWhere will you go, Eric?โ Where will you go that I canโt find you?ย โThereโs still so much more to do, donโt you at least want to see the next step come to fruition before you tuck tail and run?โ While innocence lacquered each word, it was impossible to miss the subtle venom that existed beneath.ย โIโd hate for you to regret your decision.โ
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย a gift for @fxllenpythiaโ,

ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Ericโs anxiety and inquietude tended to push them to do regrettable things. Joining the Asphodel had been one of them, but announcing his departure to the Greater Demon ruling over said coven? Astronomically one of said decisions. They had few remnants of their personal items hanging around within the coven, those were all moved away discreetly after returning from Knossos and feeling that palpable sickness in their gut at what had went down. Reliably, loyally, sworn to the book in their own way of obligation theyโd done what was expected of them and were now rife with guilt and the need to flee. A typical and rather visceral reaction of the Exile. โHey, so, I donโt know what I expected but, Iโve done my part and itโs time for me to get going,โ their words are embedded with flippant sarcasm, especially in the face of a venerated creature who was strengthened by the sacrificial blood of others, Eric couldnโt find it in themselves to tame their fear-induced lip.
