Hel snorts. "Oh yeah! Void Magic is hella dangerous! Like people die and stuff if they try to use it! I'm lucky cause I got-" She does a little pose that concludes with her legs far apart and her arms in the air. "Crooked Veins! It's like a get out a jail free card! Only for death! It's pretty cool." She stands in front of the circle and sets down the antler in the middle. She starts wiggling her limbs a bit and then tilts her head to one side and then to the other until she feels the nub of a crack. She kneels down and puts her left hand on the right side and her right hand on the left. She closes her eyes.
The air goes stiff.
Any ambient noise or sound is eliminated from the room.
Hel lightly hums a deep hymn. The lines and shapes beneath her claws glow white. Hel tightens her fists as she feels the light burn her, but keeps her palms flat on the ground. She hums louder and more intense as a single note hangs in the air and mingles with her hymn. The antler slowly raises off the ground and holds itself in the air. It glows a brightly as darkness veils its shapes and morphs it into… something else.
No.
Someone else.

"Hello!" He said to the new ally being

“Oh hello undoer” Says Azgoroth “It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, I am Azgoroth, everlasting planner and Elder god of time”.

The light takes a shape of a bipedal creature. It develops more features as Hel continues to hum. It gains fingers, toes, clothing. Specifically a long dress that covers its feet and sleeves that cover its wrists. From its head pours a wave upon wave of hair. Whereas Hel's and her sister have straight sharp hair, this one has more wavy and soft hair. It finally takes a shape that stills and solidifies as the light slowly fades from the being.
Her hands are clasped together beneath her waist.
Her head is slightly bowed and her eyes are closed, as if she were sleeping.
She was as still as a statue, not even a breath was made for her lungs.
Hel opens her eyes and looks up. She leaps up so high from her kneel, she almost sprang 10 feet in the air.
"Hey! You're here! Wake up and say hi!"
She does so. Revealing irises colored a faded amethyst. She lifts her head to show a face that could best be described as apathetic serenity. She nods her head towards Hel with a soft hum and looks to Vozreal and Azgoroth.
"It is a pleasure to meet you all." Her voice is like a gonging church bell. She bows forward and lets her hair pool from her shoulders. Her movements look calculated and formatted. She is completely stiff, but her hair still flows as if there were a faint breeze.
She lifts her head. "For now, please refer to me as Keziah. The Faithless Acolyte."

“A bit of a rhetorical isn’t it” chuckles Azgoroth “but who am I to complain? It is a pleasure to finally know you. Faithless Acolyte”. Azgoroth looks pointedly at the being as if studying it. “A pleasure indeed. But now that your ally is here Hel. Now what is the plan?”

Keziah looks at Azgoroth and stares into his cosmic eyes. She sees his missing antler and slowly blinks. She turns herself to him. "So you are the one who offered a part of himself to me. I must thank you. I was afraid that a minor being of some kind would be giving me a pathetic anchor, but you as a temporal deity and eldritch manifestation have made my existence possible." She bows low. "You have my gratitude, Azger- Azgoroth." She clear her throat a bit and straightens herself, looking away. "My apologies. I must get used to having vocal cords." Hel comes up behind her and gives her a big hug, much to Keziah's chagrin. "Hel. Down. Now." Hel does as she says and laughs a little.
"Sorry! This sort of thing never happens y'know! I want to savor this time with you." She looks at Keziah with earnest and doting eyes, who returns her affection with sagging shoulders and a sigh.
"The plan, Hel."
"Oh! Right." Hel claps her hands and turns to everyone. "Okay everyone listen up! This needs a little bit of explaining!" She sits herself on the ground. Keziah does the same and rests her hands in her lap.

"Should I sit down?" He asked

"Yeah! Join the discussion circle! It's the 'How to Neutralize Hex Plan!' Title pending." Hel gestures to the space in front of her on the ground. Keziah simply waits.

He sits where Hel tells him to

Azgoroth coils into a resting position and rests his head on his hand.

"Here's what I got goin' on! So you may think we have to kill Hex. Nope! That's gonna suck! Hex can come back and make herself stronger and deadlier than before cause she is the literal definition of a cheater! Instead, we have to subdue her. Like a tranquilizer! But not as easy. Basically, we have to make her tired. If she can't lift her claws or head anymore, she's effectively down. After that, Kezzy and I-"
"Don't call me that."
"-will take her back to our world where she can wreak havoc on us instead of you! Then we can all go home and throw a big party!" She puts on a big smile and wags her hands like a gameshow host while Keziah looks at her. She takes a deep breath and exhales slowly.
"Once the Beast is diminished to a state of fatigue, I can transport it back to our realm of origin where the flow of time and event can return normal and succeed in the way it was meant to. I myself cannot participate in the battle due to my unequal circumstances. I exist on a fragile boundary where the physical manifestation of this vessel is declared 'illegal' by the standards of reality. If I am discovered, I will immediately cease to exist. Which is why the only time I can use my powers is to transport the Beast back to our realm. Until then, I am identified as an existing individual being like the rest of you."
Hel pats Keziah on the head and rubs her endearingly. "Awwww look at you usin' big words! You got the vocal cords down to a T!"
Keziah takes Hel's wrist and shoves it back towards her with an annoyed frown on her face. She turns to Vozreal and speaks. "What is it that you can offer us in terms of ability Vas- Vozreal?" She clears her throat again and looks down. Her face has black lines etched over her eyes in the shape of a large plus. She fiddle with her sleeves slightly.

"I'm basically a god in terms of powers…"

“No specifics? Nothing special? No demon borne powers we should know about?”. Asks Azgoroth inquisitively.

"I can fly… I can teleport… and I can make things appear." He said, telling them his demonborne powers.

Keziah sighs in dejection and looks at him sharply. "Immediately subduing the Beast will not make things easier. It is the manifestation and culmination of misery birthed from the flesh of a simple girl that wanted the world to hate her so much, she became a monster and ate everything for a baseless, stupid dream." The lines flickered faintly. "Trivializing this battle is a guaranteed way to beckon an undesirable outcome. The Beast is known not only for its mindless bloodlust, but also for its witted curses. It has a corrupted magic that can tear apart realities and alter an existence on a nuclear level."
Hel snickers behind her. "You make her sound like an evil genius or something. She's a little on the dull side in terms of smarts so logically making her tired shouldn't-"
Keziah looks at Hel with a frightening glare that makes Hel jump in surprise. "Stop dismissing it as if it were a wild animal. And stop acting like you both are still sisters. As far as both of you are concerned, neither of you could qualify as kin anymore. It twisted its biological composition beyond anything that should be alive, yet you still attach this… endearment to it. Cease such nonsense and acknowledge that the Beast and your sister are two separate individuals. And the Beast killed her."
Hel grows silent. Her eyes are wide and her frown is deep. There is a heavy tension between the two of them…

“As you asked our demonic friend over here what he had to offer, I am assuming you would require the same from me” Interjected Azgoroth attempting to break some of the tension “would you like a summary or the details? The details are a bit. Lengthy but I should be able to broadcast it in an easily access able manner”.

Keziah turns away from Hel. "Yes, go into vast detail about your abilities. We will need all we can acquire for this battle." Hel stays quiet and turns away from the circle, playing with the hem of her sheet-robe. Keziah ignores her.

(Sorry this is so long)

"Flight, Teleportation, Tentacles, Time stopping, super strength, and creation." He said, listing his abilities.

Keziah nods her head as she hears all this. Her hands wave a little gesture and glowing white lines appears in the air she takes her finger and begins to write down what she has learned in front of her. "So both of you have temporal manipulation abilities. Interesting… Is it aware that you both have them?"

"yes…" He said

“It should be. I utilized them to great extent In front of her, however she only knows about the powers utilized in phases 1 through 5. As I never went beyond that in this realm”.

Keziah hums in dejection. "Ah… that will be a problem. The Beast most likely either grew a resistance to that type of magic, or it applied a curse to itself to counter those kinds of abilities. And knowing it as well as I do, it probably has several more back up variants should defeat cross its path." She writes in the air: 'Temporal Manipulation: Low possibility.' She closes her eyes and leans her head against her hand. "What else… right your "Breath of Terror." That will be completely ineffective. It does not know fear or trauma to any extent. It revels in it like a pig in filth." Her tone becomes judgmental as she writes 'Breath of Terror' and crosses it out. She closes her eyes again and mumbles to herself. "What else… what else… Ah, those fire wraiths. Those could serve as a distraction. It eats practically anything, including fire… right?" She looks at Hel for confirmation. Hel, who has been keeping her mouth shut looks up in a startle.
"Huh? Oh, yeah she can. But she didn't like spicy foods when we were kids, so I don't know how effective-"
Keziah sharply grunts and scribbles 'Wrathus Vastus' in the air and writes, 'distraction' next to it. Hel brings her legs to her chest and rests her chin in her knees and sighs. Keziah continues taking notes.
"Soul eater is completely ineffective, it sold its soul for power. It was one of the first things it sacrificed. A majority of your attacks invoke instant death, but due to its condition of basically being a child's corpse with a pocket realm inside of it, it may not utilized to its full potential here." She pauses and sighs. She toils with her tongue inside her mouth for a bit. "Does this thing usually get dry so fast?"

“Could I potentially let a portion of myself be eaten, then trigger world devourer inside of it?” Asks Azgoroth “sudden destruction of a dimension is no peaceful occurrence”.

"Weed… she doesn't like weed."
