"How is he? He looks much happier" Elena asked Gad. Theodore and Iris were dancing on the dance floor. "He is better now, I think" Gad said. He told them what had happened.
"So you mean that he beat up that bully who you said is very strong and he told the fire elder that he wasn't qualified to teach him?" Fife asked in shock."yes that is what happened""What do you think happened that suddenly made him strong?" Elena asked."I don't know what happened, but I am glad he is getting better. The night mares have stopped as well, he sleeps fine at night""I am so glad, thanks a lot Gad for looking after him for me" Elena said."Its nothing, he is my friend, its my job to look after him" Gad replied."What are you guys talking about?" Theodore asked as he sneaked behind Gad and held his waist.Gad turned around and hooked his arms around Theodore's neck."We were talking about how you are such an awful dancSeveral weeks had passed. Theodore had settled down to life in Hades. Ever since his victory over Devon, the demons had learnt to respect him.He regularly went to classes in the academy, fire elder and Devon had stayed out of his way.He, Iris and Gad occasionally went to Dixon's lounge in Dresden. Elena and Iris were gradually becoming friends although Elena didn't know Iris true intentions yet.Iris and Theodore were relaxing one day after class when Gad rushed in."Azazel! There is a big problem." he said."What is it?" Theodore asked."Dixon lounge is on fire!""What!" Theodore stood up immediately."How did this happen?" Iris asked."I don't know. The demons who are keeping an eye on them just informed me there was a fire. I have no idea why it happened." Gad replied."Let's go over immediately." Iris said.They headed over to Dresden, Phidius sent two water users with them.
Theodore came out of the lake after the discussion he just had with his father.He bent down close to the lake, "Wake up, I have an errand for you." the lake immediately started bubbling.Theodore whispered to the lake and went back to his room."Azazel, are you okay? Where have you been?" Gad asked anxiously."Relax, I just went to cool off. I am okay.""Are you sure? Don't just walk off like that. I was so worried.""I am okay Gad. I won't walk off like that and make you worried again.""You better don't. So what are you going to do about Devon?" Gad asked."Nothing. I am going to leave it to fate.""Are you serious?""Very serious. I have decided not to do anything about it. I will just focus on getting stronger." Theodore said. Gad felt that something about Theodore was suspicious but he couldn't figure it out.Two days later, Hades was in an uproar. Fire elder's mansion was on fire and nobody could put out the fire. The fire users couldn't manipulate it and even the water users c
"The Vampire kingdom?" Theodore asked."yes, the Vampire kingdom." Phidius replied."Where the vampires stay?" Theodore asked again."yes, where the vampires stay. We have learnt about all this" Gad told him."Are you okay crown prince?" Phidou asked."yes I am." Theodore replied."So I will be going, you and Gad as well. Then fire elder and ice elder." Phidius said. "Fire elder is going?" Gad asked in displeasure."As much as I don't like the idea, he has a lot of influence and taking him along so we can watch over him is better than leaving him in Hades to wreck havoc." Phidius replied."I am going?" Theodore asked."Yes you are. The others are very curious about you, you have to be present." Phidius said."When do we leave Master?" Gad asked."In two days time." Phidius replied.The Vampire kingdom........Alistair was training with one of the elder vampires when Gemini entered the training room.Gemini sat down in a corner patiently and waited for him to be through.At last Alist
Theodore stood in front of the palace of Salvatore waiting to be called in. He was so nervous, would Alistair be there? Would he recognize him? What about that cruel brother of his?"Azazel are you okay?" Gad asked him."I am fine." he answered."You don't have to be so nervous. You are just here for appearance sake. You won't have to say anything. The elders and master will handle everything okay?" Theodore nodded.Theodore looked around, he was surrounded by a lot of creatures who he had thought only existed in books.Elves with their sharp point ears, devils who looked terrible, Gad had told him that devils were descended from demons through an experiment which had gone wrong.Fairies with their tinkling laughter, Ghosts with their pale transculent skin. Werewolves who looked fierce and peered at everyone suspicously.The large doors of the palace open and the queen came out, she was flanked by two handsome vampires. Theodore's breath hitched when he saw him, the man he had been dr
Gad was very confused, what was Theodore talking about. "Forget it. I am going for a walk." Theodore said."Okay let's go together." Gad offered."I want to be alone."Theodore left the room before Gad could follow him."Azazel wait!" Gad rushed after him, but he couldn't find him. He must have teleported. Gad was very worried. They were in a hostile territory, what if he ran into hostile vampires or worse, he ran into Calix, that would be very disastrous.He hurried to look for him.Theodore wandered around the palace courtyard, he was looking for somewhere private where he could rest and gather his thoughts.He saw a small pool of water surrounded by flowers. It was inside a small garden. It looked quiet, he entered inside and sat by the pool."I thought you said you wouldn't wander into our sacred lands. What are you doing here?" he heard someone asking him.He turned around and it was Alistair. When had he even come in? "Is this a sacred land?" he asked."yes it is."Theodore st
"So what are you going to do now? Keep on deceiving him?" Gad asked."It's not really deceiving, I just choose not to let him know the truth." Theodore replied."Don't you think he would be really upset when he finds out?" Gad asked."He won't find out, I will make sure of it. Besides I don't think he cares about me that much. It's not even up to a year and he has already moved on." Theodore said. "What makes you so sure that he has moved on.""He has moved on. Didn't you see how he and that Gemini guy were flirting?""Me and you flirt all the time too, does it mean that we are in a relationship?" Gad asked."It's not the same." Theodore said stubbornly.Gad shook his head at how obstinate Theodore was behaving."Where have you been though?" Theodore asked Gad."I have been looking for you." Gad replied guiltily.Theodore looked at him from head to toe. "Did you get into a fight?""No, why do you ask?""Your clothes look rumpled, look you are even missing a button." he pointed at Gad
"Thank you for your understanding prince Azazel. I assure you nothing like this would ever happen again." The queen told Theodore before leaving with her guards.The rest of the supernaturals dispersed when they saw that the show was over.Gad supported Theodore and together with Phidius they went back to their room.Alistair who had watched the whole thing from a corner chuckled to himself, that little spitfire was something else. He had cleverly goaded Calix to the point where Calix couldn't control himself. He had a lot of time to evade Calix's punch yet he hadn't.Calix must be infuriated right now. As far as Alistair was concerned, anybody who could annoy Calix was in his good books. He chuckled again as he imagined how angry Calix must be right now.Back in Theodore's room, he was sipping on a glass of juice leisurely while Gad and Phidius stared at him like they couldn't recognize him again."My prince, are you okay?" Phidius asked."Yes Master, I am okay now." Theodore answere
Today was the day the supernaturals were leaving Salvatore to go back to their own kingdoms. They would reconvene at Dresden for the official alliance meeting.Theodore and the demon entourage were about to teleport back to Hades. Alistair walked up to Theodore and pulled him aside. "I would like to talk to you about something.""What is it?" Theodore asked."Have we met before?"Theodore's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean?""You feel so familiar. You remind me of someone."Theodore looked him squarely in the eye. "I have never met you before. I am sure you are mistaken."He walked away from Alistair and went back to his entourage.The demon entourage departed from Salvatore.When Theodore went back to Hades, life returned to normal. But Gad noticed something, Theodore had changed in the way he behaved to him. He now acted cold to him.Gad racked his brain and wondered what was going on with Theodore. He had tried to talk to Theodore several times but Theodore had refused to te
