At the demon kingdom......Elena and Fife had been settled in Dresden successfully and Theodore was in back in Hades."Will my friends be okay?" he asked Phidius and Gad for the umpteenth time."Yes they will, my prince" Gad answered."You seem to care for your friends very much my prince." Phidius said."They care for me as well, they are like my family and right now they are the only ones I have in the world" Theodore replied. "We are very sorry for what happened to your foster parents back in Qiren. As soon as the king is back, we will surely pay a visit to that human king" Phidius said. On their way to Dresden to settle Elena and Fuse, they had told Phidius and Gad about everything that had happened in Qiren. They hadn't told them about Theodore and Alistair's love affair though, only Theodore's father knew about it."My prince, you must be tired. Let me take you to your room" Gad offered. "Thank you a lot Gad" Theodore replied. "have some rest, my prince. Tomorrow I shall intr
"He is so handsome" a female demon gasped."He looks like the king""He seems weak though must be the human blood.""Do you think he is single?"The demons murmured among themselves as they stared at Theodore, who was on the stage above."You should say something. My prince" Phidius whispered."What should I say? You didn't tell me I would have to say anything" Theodore whispered back."it skipped my mind, I am so sorry my prince"Gad who had overhead their discussion, whispered to him."Just say that you are pleased to meet them and you hope they will all welcome you""Thanks." Theodore whispered back.Theodore moved to the middle of the stage and Phidius made way for him. He cleared his throat and the demons stopped talking and focused their attention on him."Demons of Hades, I am Azazel, it's a pleasure to meet you all and I hope we can all work together to make our kingdom prosperous"The demons kept quiet after he finished speaking. Theodore's palm began to sweat and he thought
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.They got to Dresden, the entire lounge was razed to the ground. The water users went to discreetly quench
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Theodore asked them."My prince, no other demon has ever been able to control all five elements, this is an unprecedented situation so you have to be very careful. Apart from us, no other person must know this. As far as the rest demons are concerned, the only element you can control is fire just like your father" Phidius warned Theodore. "Why can't we tell others?" Theodore asked. "because there are demons who would seek to use you for their own gain, some of them would even want to capture you to study why you can control all the elements. Until your father comes back and we tell him about this, you are not to tell anyone about your powers. This is for your own good, my prince." Phidius pleaded with Theodore. "I understand Master, I won't tell anyone""not even your friends" Phidius warned. "not even my friends." Theodore agreed. Phidius turned to Gad, "same goes for you too
"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
