The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen(And others)

*it fails*

*stab-tastrophe ensues*

*as DP dies, the fox gets up, now between the custards and the breach*

Custodian:...what the hell?

*stare-off with eyes of purity? ....should reiterate: It is a normal-waist high fox with 9 tails, glowing golden fur, and an aura of holiness that practically shines*

most of the custodes go back to the guarding the gate thing, but one squad approaches it, weapons ready just in case

*the fox observes them... also, where are the other two?*

fiend's hanging back cautiously. No sign of Athena.

*the custodes see a mental image of the fox and the empror in the sanctum imperialis*

"....sir what should we do?"
Shield-captain:...let it through. But guard it. Just in case.

*the fox quickly turns around and heads into the breach at a brisk pace*

they let it pass

*it starts running through the palace, seemingly knowing exactly where it is going*

one of the custodes, that shield captain, is doing its best to keep up

*it gets to the sanctum imperialis.. i assume its closed and guarded?*

*yep*

*sits down, and is waiting for the doors to open, although clearly very agitated...*

*opens doorses*

*rushes in as soon as it can fit through... as the air rushes in behind it, it sends some of the emperor-powder lying around the throne into the air....*

*.....*

*as the doors open enough for a custode to fit through, a golden light that blind even helmeted custodian.*

*gah, blinding*

*as the light fades after several dozen seconds, a new figure stands in there... *

Spoiler:

That... just gold instead of red. Add heavy priestess robes so not so much skin reveal... You would be surprised how hard it was to find something as unslutty as this...
Also, she is holding a staff...

Spoiler:

most of the custodes react with shock
the shield captain just facepalms

*she turns towards them.... she seems to have an even denser aura than before, her hair is like solid golden light*
Ex-Fox: .....This body feels... strange...

Shield Captain: of course the sexy animal girl....bloody eldar perversion

Ex-Fox:*with a voice soft and calming, yet cold and emotionless at the same time, that could possibly calm down a bloodthirster...* I prefer to be called Reikno.... And Amonieth had little to do with this form... It is a direct consequence of my original self and human spirits...

"uhuh."

Reikno: *turns towards the emperor* ....You have my thanks for your cooperation.... *slight bow*

the captain shakes their head and turns to leave

*she turns away from big E, and heads out the doors. Whoever may be standing outside, is shined upon by golden light... although how they react to the wall of golden tails behind, is up to debate...*

the captain's headed back to the gate

*So does she, following him/her/it to the gate*

once they're out of sight of the others, athena reverts to her usual form

Reikno: ....Are you not afraid of being found out...?

Athena: we're out of there now, who's going to find me out exactly? Besides, you're a rather good distraction if nothing else.

Rei: ....how flattering.

Athena:....i'm not wrong

Rei: Is that so? I will take that as a compliment then...

"so...mind explaining...this"

Rei: ....I assume you mean this... event? Amonieth created me to be a pure protector of Adriel... a familiar, if you will, to ward off corruption... He did it on impulse, more than humanitarian purposes, admittedly... when I followed Adriel to the Blood Gods domain, i also received many pure souls within mine... And have been feeling the...urge... to do something ever since... only recently did I realize that I was supposed to come here... I suppose something about the presence of the embodiment of warding against corruption, must have triggered this change... As for the form...*swooshes tails in front of her... fluuuuffffyyyy* ....I suppose it is the result of a demonic beast, and human souls connecting....
*she says it all with a soft voice, that is at once heart-warming, and devoid of emotion somehow*

"....oh lovely, the perfect union of beast and man is a pervert's dream come true"

Rei: ...that is merely your opinion...

"Still"

Rei: still what?

"you do look like a pervert's wet dream"

Rei: try as you might, your desires are lost on me...

she just sighs

Rei: now, we must make haste.... I intend to reinforce that breach into the bowels of hell....

Adriel: "But then, you'll live forever, so, one up on the mortals there."

Lir: and have all the time in the world to do things...
