Angels ϟ Demons discussion

Located around 90 degrees away from the Cliffs of Tears, this is the Waterfall of Zennel Town. A location of beauty, peace and relaxation. There is no special significance about this place unlike the Cliffs of Tears.

Alucard sighs as he sits by the bank of the river with his feet in the water. His crow black hair covered his blood red eyes like always and he was in a black shirt and black pants, sitting upon his red coat he has laying on the ground. (seen in pics)

The Hermit was watching Alucard from the top of the water fall. his staff was lodged between two rocks in the river bed and he was perched on top of it in a crouching position and had his cloak hide the pole from any position lower that the waterfall. The Hermit wore his red cloak which hid his face and made his figure look like one of a girl, everyone always tried to tell wether he was a guy or a girl but rarely did they figure it out.

Alucard glances around silently. He had a feeling he was being watched and he could sense from where exactly but he didn't bother saying anything. If the guy wanted to watch him, so be it. He'd let him have his fun. He strokes his fingers threw his black hair, sighing before looking down into the clear, ice cold water.

"tranquil, isn't it?" The Hermit called out from his perch as he looked at the guy at the lakes edge, wonder if the reports were right about him. he thought to himself.

Alucard smirks devilishly,"Ah.. So the hermit can speak.." He glances up at him threw his black hair which makes his eyes look creepier,"How.. Interesting.. But you stand there as if afraid of my bite.. I assure you, if i wanted you dead, i would of killed you long ago.. Must you stay so far away?" He questions, leaning back on his hands, keeping his gaze on the boy, not answering his question.

"not always." The hermit replied from next to Alucard while poking the water with a stick in his crouched position. the stick he had perched upon at the top of the water fall was now leaning against a tree a little bit behind him but the hood still covered his face.

Alucard glances at him in thought before replying,"Tell me.. What makes you so interested in me? Its not every day someone will stare at me for awhile then suddenly approach me, normally they'd prefer to get away while they can" He keeps his emotionless gaze on the hermit now, though deep inside he was quite curious about the boy.

"so it would be pointless to offer my soul to you?" The hermit replied in a bland tone from underneath his hood as he paused in his prodding of the water.

Alucard blinks,"Your soul?" The thought made him hungry already. "Whatever for child?" He leans closer to the boy, his red eyes piercing threw The hermit's skin. "And what is it you wish for me to do in order to receive it?"

"here." The hermit said as he tossed a rubber ball to Alucard. "tell me the importance of that ball, something it is capable of doing but not anything else at this moment." The hermit requested of the man, the hermit stayed crouched at his position, "guess right in three go's and my soul is yours."

Alucard blinks, catching it and sighs,"Oh.. So you're one of those people.. Mess with my brain, eh?" He squeezes it gently,"Such childsplay.. To use a childs toy such as this.."

"so you do not wish to have my soul then?" The Hermit asked tauntingly.

Alucard stares at him,"Your soul better not taste horrible or ill spew you back up, child.." He glances over the ball, softly rolling it in his hand as he looks at it closely,"Any hints?"

"are you saying that mere 'Childs play' is to hard for you?" The Hermit replied mockingly.

(told you he's arrogant and always acts like he's in control.)

((Lol he's like my other character, Ciel Phantomhive, aka the reaper king alongside Sebastian XD))

He sighs boredly,"No no, im just saying if im playing a childs game, i need the childs rules. Children games are so dumb they could make absolutely no sense" He replies as if teasing him.

"then tell me what this ball can do that none other balls can do at this moment, that is your guidelines." The Hermit replied, "i have meet many children that have answered this but the older they got the worse the answers got. an adult once replied with fun, can you believe that?" The Hermit replied as a smile tinged at their lips beneath their hood.

He nods,"I can believe that, the more children born on the earth, the more stupid and filled with flaws they seem to get.." He sighs,"This ball can do many things that others can not, it can bounce and be used for fun like they said, but it could also be used as a weapon, a painful one at that, if you have great aim.. But those are not my answers.."

"then what is your answer?" The Hermit asked, "you only have three attempts to guess, remember my soul is on the line here."

Alucard sighs,"I know i know, but i have a feeling even when i get it right, you will not keep your word, and if i get it wrong, you will leave, taunt me for as long as i live and spread the word.. You are a pathetic child indeed.." He thinks before sighing,"Its not really a puzzle.. It is just a ball, after all" He glances at him, wondering if thats the answer.

((Edited my post))

He sighs, taking it, asking,"Did i guess right then?"

"wrong, two guesses left. that ball has a purpose and is a very amusing puzzle." The Hermit told Alucard.

He sighs,"Amusing? Not likely.." He continues rolling it in his hand as he thinks.

"well, this so called Childs play seems to have you in a bind though." The Hermit replied, humming a tune in his head.

Alucard sighs,"I can see perfectly, but this childsplay has bored me within three seconds of your first sentence.." He continues staring at it in thought.

"so, what if I raised the stakes then?" The Hermit asked. "one more guess and I will have a total of Seven souls if you guess right." The Hermit offered.

(I am really curious at what the answer will be.)

(i'm confident it will be wrong but I'm still curious)

Alucard sighs,"Seems boring still.. I like arrogant souls, the one i would be a butler for, the type of person who makes me wait for there soul just to help them gain revenge, thats the type of souls that taste the best" He sighs,"The answer is quite obvious.. I will answer it if you will answer one of my riddles correctly, deal?"

"and what is this riddle?" The hermit asked, his concerns still on other affairs. the reports about this guy had been right so far however.

Alucard sighs,"You seem to like riddles, so if you can answer this correctly, I will not only answer your riddle, but i will also be your butler until you are to call me off.. Do we have a deal?" He planned on only telling him the riddle if he agreed to this.

"a butler for a day. okay, I want to here this riddle then and take my prize." The Hermit said as they stood up to look at Alucard.

Alucard nods,"When snow melts, what is it?"

"spring." The Hermit said simply, "or you might say that's wrong and say water was the right answer." The Hermit mused after a pause.

Alucard suddenly falls silent and chuckles,"Such a splendid person you are.. No one in all my years has ever got that right except my lord, Ciel Phantomhive.. Very well.. I will be your butler and i will answer.." He glances at the ball,"If it makes you pleased, i will admit i do not know everything, but then again you dont either, no one likes someone so secretive and someone who's so hotheaded.. It will lead to there death.. But truth is, i do not have the answer, nor do i want to know it, i will face my true punishment because that is what a real man does" He answers, still having a hint of boredness in his voice as he allows the ball to drop.

"guess what, I never agreed to you being my butler now did I?" The Hermit responded. "and trust me, I have already died because of my previous actions so I changed to this and it has kept me alive since then."

Alucard sighs boredly,"Fine fine, now child, go find someone else to play before you bore me to death" He boredly jokes, considering he was death himself. He lays on his back and stares at the sky, not seeming bothered by the fact he lost, nor did he even care.

"Do you wish to know the answer?" The hermit asked.

Alucard sighs,"Very well" He continues to stare at the sky, his eyes glowing brightly as he glances at the hermit, waiting for his response, still not seeming amused.

"To stump you, and it succeeded." The Hermit informed him.

Alucard sighs,"Not really.. You see, to play a childs game, you must let the child believe you are interested, even though you are completely and utterly bored"

"To stump someone is to make them unable to come up with the answer." The Hermit retorted.

Alucard sighs, saying,"And to play a childs game and act is to make the child realize they had there challenger when in reality he didn't" He sourly chuckles,"I didn't know it was show and tell day about explanations, i would of brought my diary" He dryly jokes once again sarcastically before looking at the hermit,"Your turn" He says, waiting for the hermit to give an answer back. Death was famous to always have an answer, even if it didn't make sense and even if it was wrong, he still had an answer for everything.

"Riddle me this oh wise man. I have two legs, four limbs, six sections of my body, eight scars, ten tools, twelve joints. What am I and how many wings do I have?" The Hermit asked the man.

He sighs,"Another boring poem? It seems you get to be the one to ask it, what are you trying to prove? What satisfaction do you get from this? Im not ashamed to lose, mostly to the likes of you, its nothing to have a fuss over"

((Changing Alucard's personality in his description soon))

(K ks)

"I was just curious as to what you would be willing to do to get a soul." The Hermit replied. "Does this mean I do not get an answer."

He sighs,"Kid, i haven't ate a soul in centuries, asking stupid stuff like this just to prove im not smart is completely and utterly stupid, it is like dangling a piece of meat over a starving dogs nose"

"Then why won't the dog jump?"

He sighs,"Dogs have reasons for not doing anything, how stupid it would be for them to bite the hand of someone who could possibly feed them if they wait patiently, or perhaps the dog doesn't want food it has to beg for because the humans are foolish enough to think the dog is that low.."

"So according to you, a starving dog won't make sacrifices." The hermit responded

Alucard sighs,"Deepens on how tame and stupid the dog is, if it is smart, it would understand that all great things come with patience.."
