Lucifer nods at the Shepards and then turns to Madoka.
It is indeed written in some texts. They're quite popular according to what most of the damned souls in the Pit say. So much so that the more pious individuals built up their own little circle of fire and brimstone down there to try and emulate what the good book says.
Make a Contrac... Wait
Madoka would be reminded of kyubey, and she'd be a bit worried. Is this thing looking for a soul deal? What if they knew that madoka already was part of a deal over their soul. "What's your deal... Mr Lucifer..." She'd stop pulling on her bowstring, but she'd be ready to unleash her magic anyways.
Rey shrugs and claps his hands randomly. "You're one of Tiamat's spirits, right?" he says to Kishar. "Stay with us until we reach mainland."
As the party steps onto the island, the Warrior rears back, as if sensing the presence of the barrier that ignored the humans. It fires a beam of Eridium from its tail, causing the barrier to manifest as a magenta-pink shimmer. Then it slams its forelimbs onto the barrier and breathes a sustained torrent of lava, causing the barrier to slowly glow hotter and hotter.
Finally, the Warrior balls up one foreclaw into a fist and smashes clean through, busting a hole in the barrier that causes the rest of it to shatter like glass before dissolving into light.

Hotel del Rey
It's Rhea's turn for a spit-take, as she feels the barrier suddenly going down over her tea. "Be right back."
She rushes into another room...

Moments later, Rhea appears on the island, directly behind EX Dylan, with the Shobijin on her shoulders. She promptly hands the fairy girls over to Rey, who hurriedly supports them in his palms while making noises of hesitant confusion. Then she warps back.
Awkeff takes a moment to snap out of it.
"Huh? Oh. The feeling is mutual. It's felt like a long time coming."
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."He leans forward a bit, staring at Madoka.
Well, why would you want to know? You're already taken. I'd rather not have to enter a bidding war over you.
He turns to the Shepards.
Really? Well, I assure you that this isn't some type of trick. Perhaps you want revenge against a certain party? Or maybe you want to finally receive the recognition you deserve and get out from under your sibling's shadow? Or perhaps you want the ability to finally enforce justice across the land and rid it off evildoers. I can give you almost anything if you just take me up on an offer of mine.
They nod whenever they're brought up.
O-oh, those can get pretty extreme ! Don't worry about it, too, I've beaten the baddest evildoers, ya know ?!
Hm...
I... do not need to sell my soul to defeat Nohr again. It would be lowering myself to their level !
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterSell your soul? I wouldn't say you're selling it, necessarily. More like writing an "IOU". You agree, I give you what you want and once you die you come down to Hell. It isn't that bad, all things considered. No fire and screaming souls unless that's really what you want to experience. More like a society of anarchists in an infinite void. You would just have to watch out for demons wandering about.
He turns to Madoka.
Before I realized His true nature, yes. All angels were born with love in their heart for Him. At least until the rebels and I were cast out. After that, He just stopped making angels at all.
I'd rather... not experience that again. she says, oddly enough.
We Hoshidians go to the Dawn Dragon's realm after dying. I refuse to commit a great dishonor by going to another realm.
Likewise...
Cynthia exploits Lucifer's distraction, and turns to Oboro.
Say, Morgan told me you had a talk with some Einherjar about the Nohrians, why are you mean again ?
Mean ? Well... I am willing to work with them but they will go to war with us. I can't just become their friend.
An Einherjar ?
Oboro blinks and scratch her chin, in deep thoughts.
He's been out of sight for a while, now.
Seeking him out could be dangerous, Oboro.

Madoka would freeze up upon hearing that, and would gaze forwards blankly. It's like her mind just moved all of it's processing power towards something else. Her soul gem would begin to fill with some form of darkness, as she falls on her hands, remembering what happened... Her own Second, her own angel, Her own Ascension... The law of cycles which homura mentioned... She'd be shivering. If anyone knew about soul gems, or about madoka's karmic importance, this would likely be "Defcon 1" for emotional support. "I... I remember now..."

Cynthia notices it and approach Madoka, attempting to lay an hand on her shoulder.
Madoka... are you alright ? she says. Oboro also attempts to get closer, alongside Takumi.
Calm down, we... said things, but we mean well for you.
Hey, focus on my voice, alright ? Just... breath in and focus on what I'm saying.

Madoka would listen to Lucifer for a bit, and then sigh. This is a religion from her world which is being talked about. "I think I know you... a bit. You're mentioned in christianity and judaism, Right? The way it sounds, you might've been in the right. Although I'm not sure what to believe in after all I've seen. But this seems familiar..." Madoka would begin to ponder this situation. A rebellious angel, this does seem familliar. But Why? She'd then look to the rest of the people. "It's written in the text of a foreign religion or two. Rather strange religions, both of them."
Frontier Village
Chris would gesture to one of the local nopon walking around. The little guy would stand Slightly taller than Chris's Knee level. "Most of the inhabitants around here, based on my scan, are around that size. That's why I said we needed an Inn which could fit people our size." He'd come up to a carved out portion of the tree, carved into a giant branch. It's an inn with a dining area. "I'll be able to pay with macca, as per usual. Try to find a good room for yourself. I'll take my time to find one."
