"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 rigTheodore 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
Theodore stopped going to the fire control class. Word had spread round Hades about what had happened during the class. All those who had called Theodore a weakling previously now held him in high esteem. Fire elder on the other hand was enraged at Theodore's disrespect. When Devon woke up and was told about what Theodore had done, he was infuriated, he swore within himself that he would have his revenge. "What do you think?" Theodore asked Gad as he showed him his outfit."You look good Azazel" Gad replied.Today was the opening night of Fife and Elena's new business and Theodore and Gad were going to support them. Iris was also going with them, she had pleaded that she was bored so Theodore had allowed her to go with them."You look good yourself Gad" Theodore walked up to him and unbuttoned the first two buttons of Gad's shirt."There you look much better"."Azazel can I ask you something?" "Sure, what is
"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 danc
Several 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
