"Very well then don't say that I did not give you both ample choice in the matter. Anything that happens after this moment is your choice. No matter the enemies you make, no matter who I tell you to fight, no matter the pain that comes from being my servant you made the choice to trust a strange devil boy from America with your lives." Aster said plainly not particularly thrilled about introducing yet another two people into his world. It was not a thing lightly done and yet still they seemed insistent upon him doing this. It was quite...annoying. Aster reached out and grasped the piece held by Saruhiko. He pressed it against his chest and breathed in deeply as a wave of energy shot through Aster's body. As usual the process made him feel light headed but such as it was there was no other way of doing this. A blood red aura appeared around Saruhiko as Aster pressed the knight piece harder against his chest. A paradoxical feeling fell over Saruhiko. A cold sensation came along with a feeling of warmth. "I, Aster Black of House Nightblood descendant of devils long past and dead and King of my household declare you my knight." Aster said calmly as he forced the piece suddenly into Saruhiko's chest it went in without effort slowly absorbing itself into the body of Saruhiko unlocking any hidden potentials that laid dormant in him. Aster kept the cycle of magic going for a moment longer before he breathed out and the spell was canceled.
"It is done. You answer to me now. Feel free to go home now. Or stay here. Do as you please I will call upon you when I need you." Aster said plainly as he then turned to Itami, "You don't strike me as a bishop upon closer inspection but then again I don't look like much of a devil spawn do I? Now then..." Aster said as he grasped his last bishop piece. It'd be odd seeing this piece leaving his possession. He twirled it around in his hand then smiled and sighed. You had to let things go. Aster breathed in deeply once more and repeated the same magic cycle as a warmth and sinister feeling crept up Itami's spine different from Saruhiko Aster would imagine. To imbue someone with a bishop's powers was different from a knight's. Aster pressed his bishop piece on top of Itami's heart and began to mutter, "I, Aster Black of House Nightblood magister of the arcane, weaver of dreams, singer of the forgotten languages, here by deem you bishop of my house. Fail me not and keep my kin safe. Or be taken by the very power that you will not be able to weave." Aster said as he pressed the piece slowly into the heart of Itami. It took him a moment longer than it did for Saruhiko but it was still a trival matter for him at this point. Aster wished he could've done more for his clan but at the moment he couldn't. They'd have to earn their keep. They were still a new house after all. Not even Gremory fully knew of him to his knowledge. But with Dag...with Ivan...he had a chance. Now that he had a mostly full house he could now press forward even more. Aster pulled back as he laid down on the couch pushing himself into the cushions.
"It is done Itami. As I said with the other one you're free to go or stay as you please. However don't expect to have control over your powers if you can even use them right now. Power comes with control and as of this moment I am not entirely sure how much power you do have. Suffice to say i've done all I can for the moment. I am not all powerful. And Rome was not built in a day. You will both learn to use your powers Ivan and Val will teach you or if you prefer a more real approach Dagmar will show you how real combat is in the devil world. Pray that you aren't stupid enough to challenge him on your first day." Aster said as he pressed his hand against his head trying to get over his light headedness.
