Chapter 2: The Rule

16th June 500. Every human has a soul, which is connected to the body via the Chain of Fate. When a human dies, His Chain is broken from his body and the Soul will be separated. Once separated, the Chain of Fate will Slowly Corrode, once the Chain is completely corroded, the Soul will Become a Hollow. A Hollow has no heart, and has a hunger for souls. It is a death god's job to send Souls to Soul Society and purify the hollows by slaying them.

"Take Care of yourself, Helen. I'll be back in a few days" said Sparda as he waved goodbye to his wife and his son.

"Take care" replied Helen as she closed the door.

Transforming back to his demon form, he flies up into the clouds.

"there seems to be more cases of souls turning into Hollows. 12 sightings in just one day. something is causing the chains to corrode at a faster rate." Said Archie.

"Well. Dispatch more squad members to earth. Make sure none of the souls turn to hollows."

"Yes Sir!"

Archie hurried off as Yensen murmured to himself."The time is coming"

Yenson , Commander of the Death Gods. Captain of Squad 1 in SS. Archie, the Vice Captain of Squad 1.

Sparda arrives in the Great Hall.

"You're Late Sparda. As Usual"Ariel. the specialist in Angel weaponry said as Sparda took a seat next to her. "Can't Blame me, its my style" Sparda said as he let out a smirk.

"Welcome back my Brothers and Sisters!" greeted Arkhan as he walked towards his seat. Arkhan. The Coordinator of the Circle and the general of Heaven's Armies.

Kesalthar and another another Demon Lord is already in the hall

"Where's Yensen?" A concerned Arkhan asked as he looks around the hall.

"Sorry for holding up the meeting!" Yensen and the other two death gods arrive.

" No Worries Yensen. You are a busy man. We understand"Arkhan got up from his seat and went over to hug Yensen.

"Im afraid i bring grave news. My old friend." Arkhan's smile suddenly disappeared.

"There seems to be more souls that are turning into Hollows. Something among the humans are causing it." Yensen reported the whole issue to the Circle.

"It seems something demonic is causing their Chains to corrode faster" Yensen said.

"Are you saying a demon is responsible?" Arkhan asked while looking at Kesalthar.

"Possible. But i fear its unlikely. It seems to be conflict in a soul that is causing Souls around it to turn in hollows."

"How is that possible? Unless?!..."Arkhan swiftly turned back to Yensen.

"Yes. A Demon broke the Rules. there is a Demon Human hybrid amongst them." Yensen said.

Sparda was shocked to hear the news. "We must find this atrocity and kill it." Kesalthar rose from his seat and walked towards Arkhan. "that Thing must be destroyed.."

"Agreed" said Arkhan "but who will be responsible for tracking down the problem.

"I'll Do it" Replied Sparda. Sparda quickly gets up from his seat and walks towards the exit but he is stopped by the other Demon Lord.

"Mundus. As the peace keeper of Earth I should handle this!" Sparda replied angrily.

"Usually, The Charred Council will deal with creatures who break the rules and They Should be handling the case" said Mundus.

"Agreed. Mundus. Summon the Charred Council. I want this issue to be settled as soon as possible." Said Arkhan as he dismissed the other members.

"As you wish." Mundus exited the Great Hall and walked past Sparda.
