In 2013, the rebels uprising in hell. Cole from the pro guard led them to launch a war.He had a strong army as one of the four wraith protectors.The flame lord,Vassago,was ordered to suppress the rebels.

Present day, 2014, the wars have been a year. The flame army led by Vassago won a lot. Vassago and his son Billet return in triumph today.

The loud and clear military song spread around the hill. Under the golden sunlight, the soldiers crossed rivers and mountains, and came back greatly excited.They just took another victory.

Thousands of people were waiting for their return. The Lord Vassago, with a tall and mighty body, was in the forefront riding his horse. His huge black bull horns stood out from the sides of his head, and his cheeks were full of wrinkles and he had a thick and long white beard.His used to have red hair which had now turned to white, he seemed older than his hundred year, but looked like an old eagle which had never fallen down. The guy next to him, who wore a deep black dark cloak, was Billet, who was also his son.

During the wars, there was a legend rumored around by rebels who were led by Cole, about Billet. it was said that the Flame Lord got an abandoned baby. He brought it up as his own child .As soon as he grew up, he became Vassago's most powerful warrior.The Great General of Hell. He fought against thousands of enemies alone, destroyed their bodies, burned their bones. He was unstoppable.

Billet did fight ferociously. He faced the rebels cold bloodedly, hardly ever losing. Each time they saw his angry eyes that shot red lights.

"What a good day! Look at these happy people. We just won a battle," Vassago said.

Billet waved to people and said, "Sure it is. So is it for Kassifa. It's his election day!"

"Oh,no I totally forgot. How can I miss such an important day? Kassifa must blame me," said Vassago.

"Well ,it is truly regrettable. We have been busy since the war and have had no time to care about him. However, he did a good job. He joined the government and became a member by himself. Now he is going to be a pro guard. The pro guard will give him more chances. Both of us are proud of him. Hope he can forgive our mistakes,"said Billet.

"You are right,"Vassgo said,"Watching you two grow and succeed is the best thing.You are a great and wise commander. Kassifa is a successful member of the government." He paused for a few months thinking. "Even though I don't trust the government, they used to do some really bad things. I fear that Kassifa will fall into the wrong way."

Billet stopped his horse, he watched his father's eyes and said, "I'll protect him. My family is never allowed to be hurt!"

Vassago smiled.He said, "Why don't we forget about these sad things and celebrate. Let's have a family supper together tonight .I will not go to the battlefield. General Paimon could replace me.The rebels are hurt.They might rest for a long time."

"Not bad! Then I will pick up Kassifa." Father and son went home talking and laughing.
