ARC: Daemon, The Perfection Seeker

"In order to protect the ones u love, u need to put urself in the line. Everything i once knew, could be lost in a moment. As long as im alive, i wont let that moment come"(Daemon). "But then, what would become of u?"(Paladio). "Me? I d become, ur guardian, ur father... Ur Perfection"(Daemon). In the village of Haravatir, the people live in peace.Aware of the dangers past the snowstorm, but they do not feel fear, they have brave warriors and the elder. The Elder, is a human that has great power, enough to hold together the snowy biome that surrounds the village. One day, Kon travelled in those woods, inside the snow storm. He is on a mission. During the expedition he meets Paladio. Kon chases after him. Inside the storm, without vision, Paladio stops and put his axe towards Kon's neck, but Kon is quick to react and prepares an arrow on his bow aiming to Paladio's eye. "U re strong, to be able to see through the curse"(Paladio). "So that story about the forest being cursed by the previous king is true?"(Kon). They both let their weapons down. "Who knows? Come with me, u ll need a shelter for the night"(Paladio). Kon gets to the village. It is pretty lively. "The snow covers the village, but the storm stays out. The Elder is really strong" (Paladio). "I ve seen such sight before. It doesnt suprise me"(Kon). Kon goes in the house of the elder. "I feel ur presence sentient creature. Whats ur name?"(Daemon). "Its Kon"(Kon). "Creator... What an honor to have in our lands. What could i did for u?"(Daemon). "Im looking for a friend"(Kon). "How do u know, u ll find him here?"(Daemon). "A hunch"(Kon).Days pass and Kon stays there until he completes the mission. He sees the dangers that lurk in the storm. "So thats the effects of the Honkai Dreams"(Kon). Kon kills some monsters. "They were once human u know. But they died" (Daemon). Kon looks at the sky. "I wish i could save them"(Daemon). "U preserve the whole forest but cant revive people?" (Kon). Hoté reaches the realm. "U question them about not reviving? U fool."(Hoté). Kon is sent to a dream. Hoté goes to fight Daemon but he stops her. Kon looks around the dream and finds a Soul. "So thats what he hides?" (Kon). "Are u the despair that holds captive the past regrets?"(?). "So u re the Old King of these woods? Prometheus told me u re quite good at guessing" (Kon). "What u re doing Kon is wrong. U shouldnt make ur regrets beg for mercy or fear u. Embracing them is bad"(Old King). "And denying them... Is equally bad. Metani"(Kon).The scene goes to Daemon who is strong enough to push away Hoté, thats why Yogsoth comes. At the same time tho, Prometheus and Sils and the three old creators to fight her. When they go to clash, it stops. Kon wakes from the dream and sees that the destroyed mountain is rebuilt. "What are u doing Daemon"(Kon). Everyone leaves. Only Kon and Daemon stay to talk. "The rules cannot be overwritten Kon?"(Daemon). "I told u no fight without reason is acceptable. This cannot change"(Kon) Paladio is on the ground injured by the storm. "I need to prove the world, im strong"(Paladio). He tries to get up but falls. "I ll save us from this master. I ll make ur dream come true"(Paladio). He puts his axe on the ground and uses it to support him on his walk. He sees a palace but falls in front of the stairs. "No, its this close..."(Paladio).Paladio then wakes up at a cave. He looks around and sees Daemon and Kon. They dont notice him that he is awake. "And what if i fix everything?"(Daemon). "Make it perfect?"(Kon). "Yes... Perfect. I ll be perfect to make everything perfect" (Daemon). "Perfect is not what u want. Perfection is loneliness, this i know best"(Kon). "Yes but imagine, everything going as it should, nothing dies. Everything becoming, what everyone aspires!"(Daemon). "And then? What would be come of u? Of him? Of everyone, everywhere. I have been sent on my long journey of no return, and trust me, its not one u want to go through"(Kon). "Kon. Imperfections pull us down. They make us drown in our own spit!"(Daemon). Kon gets up and goes to leave. "But if u are about to drown, u ll learn how to swim"(Kon). Kon leaves the cave and goes in the snowstorm, he finds a small cabin that has greenery inside."Virk! Come out old friend. Its about time u appear."(Kon). The door slides open, Kon goes in and sees Virk on the bed, a child wielding a bow protecting him. "Gave everything u have to the lake?"(Kon). "Its... Hard, to make everything survive. How do u make it?"(Virk). "Because i know it wont change. Everything will stay the same even if i want to be perfect. If i change myself, for the sake of a better life, i d prefer not to live."(Kon). "But how will u live well? If life is hell, then u shouldnt have to live it"(Virk). "Live ur life and have fun. Thats the true way of living" (Kon). Virk stands up. "Words make wonders Kon. Keep them for urself." (Virk). Virk gives Kon a note. Everything turns black. "So thats the secret of the snowstorm"(Kon). "When u want something the most, will it come"(Virk).Kon goes in the forest and reaches the Temple of The Storm. He goes in and finds a small army and the king on the throne. "Pseuvis, u have something i want"(Kon). "Is it the stone? The Soul of Wanting?"(Pseuvis). "Yes, in return i ll~" (Kon). Pseuvis throw the stone to Kon. "Take it. Im grateful to u for creating us. Thats enough reason to give u this" (Pseuvis). Kon goes to leave. "How is ur delusion going?"(Pseuvis). Kon laughs and leaves. On the other side Paladio waits for Daemon. Daemon though has gone in the storm to find the Temple. Daemon runs to it. Daemon is with the king. "Old king. So the secret key is wanting something a lot"(Daemon). "Only if u want something will it come"(Pseuvis). "Then i want to be perfect. I want the perfect strength to help everyone" (Daemon). "Very well"(Pseuvis).Kon is at a realm with Hoté making love. "I think u should help him out"(Hoté). Kon pulls away but then continues. "No need yet. Time is nothing in moments like this"(Kon). Daemon goes inside the big frosty fountain in the middle of the village. He goes in the center and uses the power. The Temple of The Storm starts crumbling. "Whats going on?"(Paladio). "There is nothing to help the temple survive anymore. Anyways Paladio. It was nice knowing the village had such people. People like u."(Pseuvis)Paladio runs to the village. Kon stands up again and starts dressing. "Leaving?" (Hoté). Kon sighs. "I wanna make sure about something"(Kon). Paladio reaches the fountain but the door is locked. The people try to break through with anything they find. Kon teleports inside."This is the price to pay for perfection Daemon"(Kon). "Its for a good cause. Why is the price so high?"(Daemon). "Because ur expectations are too high. U are too perfect for ur expectations. For ur body to take"(Kon). "Goodbye then"(Daemon). The door breaks open and Paladio tries to reach Daemon and he does. Hugging him tight, he cries. He notices the skin is cold and rocky. Daemon is now stone. The snowstorm stops after years. Everything clears. Virk notices the lake is still alive.After months, the burial happens, everyone leaves flowers. Paladio takes the leadership. Kon is on the realm with Hoté. "So our plan worked?"(Hoté). "Yes, noone can become perfect now. Only us"(Kon). They continue making love. "Wasnt that cruel?"(Hoté). "He achieved his dream. Every actions has a consequence. I warned him"(Kon)
