"I have never heard of this alliance before" Theodore said.
"It isn't widely known, only some human kings are part of the alliance, mostly big kingdoms." Gad replied."So the Alliance punishes those who break rules? What kind of rules are you talking about""Any supernatural creature who abuses their powers are punished.""All of this seems so strange to me" Theodore said."Don't worry, as soon as you start your lessons, none of this would be strange to you." Gad comforted him."What is the academy like?" Theodore was curious to know."It's just mostly young demons around our age, we have different teachers who teach us various subjects like Defense, Element Control, telekinesis, history and many other subjects. Master is one of the teachers as well""What are the other students like?""Normal, just like every group of young people. We have the popular students, the smart students and the ordinary st"I look like a peacock" Theodore complained."no, you don't. When we get to the party, you will see that others are even more dressed than you."Theodore remembered when his mother had convinced him and his father to dress formally for that darned dinner only for them to get there and discover that it was just a casual affair."Azazel are you okay?" Gad asked."I am okay""I am sorry if I crossed my boundaries back then when I asked you to kiss me." Gad apologized."Its okay, don't fret. We were just doing a lesson weren't we?""yes we were" Gad smiled.Theodore held Gad's arm tightly, "you have to promise me that you won't leave my side tonight"Gad patted his hand, "don't worry, I won't leave your side even for one minute tonight.""Thanks."A knock sounded on the door, Gad opened it. It was Phidius."Master" Gad greeted."Are you ready?""Yes we are."
Theodore looked at her outstretched hand then looked back at Gad."Say yes" Gad whispered."Of course" Theodore replied and stood up, he took her hand and they went to the dance floor together and started to dance."How are you enjoying the party? My prince" the female demon asked."So far, I have had a great evening" Theodore replied."And how has your stay in Hades been so far?""Amazing""That's good to hear, I am Iris by the way.""I am Azazel, pleased to meet you.""The pleasure is mine, my prince.""I would prefer it if you called me by my name, I am still not used to the 'my prince' thing.""Wouldn't that be improper?" Iris asked with a twinkle in her eye."not at all, I insist.""Okay Azazel""Thanks for understanding me Iris.""Will you be attending the academy?" Iris asked. "Yes, I am starting tomorrow.""Splendid! I will
The next morning, Theodore and Gad took their breakfast and set out for the academy.The academy was a five minutes walk from the palace. They could have simply teleported there but Theodore didn't know how to teleport yet so they had to walk."What class do we have first?" Theodore asked Gad."History of demons." Gad said wearily, he hated this class because it was boring. "Really? I can't wait" Theodore said excitedly."You are the only demon I have met who is excited about this class. It's just a repetition of things we all know.""Well, I don't know anything about demons, you keep forgetting that I didn't grow up here and my knowledge of demons is very limited""You are right, I keep forgetting that. Anyways after History, we have defense then lastly element control."A huge bell rang, "What's that for?""It means it's time for classes." Gad said and pulled him towards the class.Just like
"What is the meaning of this Fire Elder? What sort of cruelty and bullying is this?" Phidius shouted at the Fire elder."Mind your place Phidius, my brother might have named you regent king but I do not rate you as anything. This is my class, if your little crown prince can't take it, he is welcome to leave." The fire elder replied."If the king was here, you wouldn't try this." Phidius said in anger."Well, the king isn't here, what are you going to do about it? Huh?" Phidius swallowed his anger and bent down to carry Theodore out."If that weakling is the crown prince, Hades is going to be ruined." Fire elder called out as Phidius carried Theodore out.Phidius ignored him and carried Theodore out. "Master! Oh no! What did they do to him?" Gad asked as he took Theodore from Phidius."That bastard and his son used him as a punching bag, he surrendered but Devon refused to stop" Phidius said angrily."It's all my fault, h
Theodore lay on the bed, today was the Fire festival. He had no classes today so he could rest until tonight when a celebration party would be held in the palace."So what are your plans for today?" Gad asked."Nothing, I will probably go to the library later.""Do you want to go to Dresden with me?" Gad offered.Theodore sat up immediately, "Really? I can go with you?""Yes you can. I have some business to attend to there, after that we can go pay Elena and Fife a visit. We can stay there till evening. Is that okay?""Yes, yes it is. Thanks a lot Gad, I will go get ready immediately." Theodore said excitedly. He stood up to get dressed.Gad smiled at his excitement, at least his mood had lightened up a little.Later, Theodore and Gad left Hades, they came out from the tree into Everglades forest. Theodore looked around, he couldn't believe that some few weeks ago. He had entered into this forest compl
"Yes, what's wrong with him, he looks pale and sickly. I hope you aren't maltreating him." Fife glared at Gad."You better change your tone." Gad glared back at him."What are you going to do if I don't?" Fife replied back."That's enough, I don't want to hear any more arguments from you two." Elena glared at both of them, they both kept quiet immediately."Now Gad, what's wrong with Theodore?""He made me promise not to tell you but I have no choice but tell you. I want to help him but I don't know how. I was hoping you could help me."Elena and Fife's face grew serious when they heard Gad's words."Tell us what is wrong with him." Elena said.Gad told them everything that had been happening in Hades."That damn Fire elder and his bastard son." Fife cursed."Why doesn't he leave the class? Does he enjoy the beatings and injuries?" Elena asked."I have no idea, we have all pleaded with
"Who is there?" Theodore asked."Why are you so weak?" the voice asked again."Who are you?" Theodore shouted."Do you think I don't know why you have refused to leave the class? It's because you think it's punishment. Punishment that you couldn't save your parents, that your friends suffered because of you. That isn't true, none of what happened is your fault.""It is." Theodore sobbed."No it isn't. Everything happened because life is unfair. It has nothing to do with you.""It does. Didn't you hear what the demons said? I am a weakling.""No you aren't.""Yes I am, among humans, nobody wants me. Among demons, nobody wants me.""You are a fool if you think like that, your foster parents loved you, your friends loves you. Your mother loves you. Among the demons, Iris, Phidius and Gad loves you. You are wanted and loved. Are you going to let Devon and his father belittle you.""But they are rig
Theodore got on top of Devon and began to beat him, he rained punches on his face and body. With every punch, he remembered everybody who had ever treated him badly.All Theodore could see was red, he didn't even notice his surroundings anymore."Azazel please stop, he has lost consciousness. Let him go." he heard someone pleading with him.Gradually he came back to his senses, he looked down at Devon. His face and body was bloody."Let him go. You won the fight." Iris pleaded with him.Theodore released Devon and got up."What the hell did you just do?" Fire elder asked."We were fighting, doesn't the rules say that we can only stop when our opponents surrender. I didn't hear him surrender.""He surrendered, he shouted his surrender several times." Fire elder said angrily."He did? Maybe he didn't say it loud enough." Theodore said with an innocent face."Fire elder, the prince has fulfilled t
