"A King's Word": (Continued) Vale stood on the other side of a godly gate, Las Noches far behind him. His eyes narrowed at the sight of the untouched realm. He glanced over his shoulder at the god of fire. A smile formed on his lips as he stepped from the gate, the god followed behind him. The gate closed behind them, as Vale's eyes surveyed the realm. "A foreign body in your near-perfect world. I know you're here. So, let's not drag this out too long."

The Soul King only making himself known by voice spoke to the man known as Seto Tetsuya aka Vale Tervaden. "Why do you come here Tetsuya? You know there is nothing I can or will do for you. You may not be human, but your time is still as precious as theirs." He paused.
"Why are you wasting it coming here?"

"This is no waste of time, Soul King." replied Vale. "But, it is rather nice to know that you care." Vale rested a hand to the hilt of his blade, as he walked in a small circle. "I have a very simple series of questions for you, if you are willing to hear me."
Vale lifted his head, looking to the sky as if the Soul King loomed above him. "Are you willing to listen, King?"

He hummed softly. "I hear all my children. Did you think coming here would serve you better in being heard? I know of all your wrong doings and the things you have done to try to make up for them. How do you think your actions are serving you on your path to killing a man you know you can not kill?"
He grew silent again. "You have defiled the name of the Gods by using the arrogant God of Fire to do your bidding. Like your own powers are not satisfactory enough to achieve your goals. You have used and killed many. Destroying families and friends. You have even went as far as trying to control the vessel so to do your dirty work."

Vale smiled. "I will answer you in order. Being here only serves the purpose of me viewing this untouched realm. It is quite beautiful. My actions are serving me quite fine in this endeavor to kill a man who can be killed just as easily as you can."
"As far as Alister goes, if control of the god was something that you wanted to keep secret, you should have done a better job of hiding the stones used to trap and control you. And, controlling the vessel has never been a goal of mine. That is Sousuke Aizen's goal. He is looking to come take your throne from you. Do any of those answers suffice?"

The Soul King laughed, "Making her fall in love with a man that will never love her when her heart truly belongs to another man. You do not see that as controlling? You are as blind as the man you want to kill."
A soft breeze blew around the Soul Reaper and his puppet. "And I did not say he could not be killed. I said he could not be killed by your hands. Just as he can not be killed by the vessels hands."

"Not control. Leading, for the time being, that is what I would call it. As for Aizen, he won't die by anyone's hands but his brother's. That is where you come into play, Soul King. I will make a deal with you, to ensure that this man's reign ends."
"You want me to grant you the power to kill Aizen?" The Soul King laughed.
Vale chuckled. "No. No. That's a wasted request, one you would not grant. Instead, I'm going to make a rather selfish request."
"Asking for the powers to kill him yourself, you consider non-selfish?" The Soul King chuckled lightly. "Then please Tetsuya. Share your selfish request."
"When his light is snuffed out, to ensure that anyone bearing his name can do no more harm to the realms, take my power from me. Make me...human."

The Soul King hummed as peaceful silence falling around them. After a few minutes he ask the arrogant man standing before him. "And your son? You know nothing of his future, but you wish to make yourself a lesser man than he?"

Vale remain silent for a few moment, before looking toward the sky again. "I don't imagine Aizen's life will end that soon. But, give me until he is eighteen years of age." Vale sighed at the thought of his son growing without him.
"Once he is passed that age, do what you wish with me."

"What is the saying that is always heard by the likes of people like you?" A moment of silence fell. "Yes, that is it. I will grant your request, but in return you will grant me mine. If not. You get nothing."
Vale chuckled again. "What could you possibly want from me?"
"Leave Sumi's vessel alone. Release her and give her the chance to regain her family. You have destroyed enough and in all the havoc and darkness you have cast over others you have not been able to rip that family apart. Now because of you Sumi has had to take drastic steps to keep them protected. Because of you Vale Tetsuya the vessel has lost everything dear to her but her son."

"What about my son? That man will not raise my child. And, I will not take my child from her. It would kill her." Vale grunted, his hand tightening around the hilt of his blade. "Answer me that!"

"Were you not the one that told her she was perfect? That even in the darkness, her light still shines the brightest? Do you truly believe she would take your son from you when she cries herself to sleep every night because Sojiro does not know his father? A father the boy knew, but your boldness has caused that to exist."
The Soul King grew silent letting what he said sink in to the stubborn man. "You do not want to be separated from your son, but you damn another child and his father to this same fate."

"I never said that she would take my son from me. I simply stated that I want Ichimaru to have no hand in raising my child. And, I have not completely severed Ichimaru's bond with his son. That is the work of your goddess and her inconsistencies. You've been so lenient with her. And, for what? She's a seraph?"
"All you've done is a set a precedent. You are a King who does not govern. Instead your hand is heavy on those you deem unworthy. While your hand is light on those you favor, even when their actions are worse than your unworthy. What's it like...To sit so high yet be the lowest of us all?"

With a loud booming voice the Soul King spoke, "I will not stand here and be judged by the likes of you, Vale Tetsuya. Release the vessel as I have requested. Let her draw her own conclusions."
Silence fell around them then the King spoke again. "You might find she will surprise you."

Vale groaned, shaking his head as he looked to the ground. "I need her. Ichimaru will only get n the way. He's always in the fucking way." As his grasp tightened on the hilt of his blade, Vale looked up again.
"No. I won't grant your request. Not that it will make a difference. Your goddess will continue to break the rules set for all gods. You will continue to ignore the fact that she ignores them. And, I will continue to do what I must to ensure Ichimaru does not get in my way."
