While all the demons of hell were still watching Magnus amazed at what he had just done, Magnus collapsed to the floating clouds of the fighting pit.
Azazel didn’t let anyone touch Magnus because most demons were known for their greed and ability to steal any kind of power and Azazel didn’t want Magnus falling prey to those demons so, he went to retrieve his servant, himself.
When Magnus awoke, he found himself in his master’s chambers so he quickly sat up so as not to soil his master’s plush couch with his bloody body.
When Azazel noticed that Magnus was awake, he signalled him to come over.
Magnus walked towards Azazel despite the fear in him, that he had once again, failed his master.
When Magnus was close enough, he stood looking down because it was considered rude to look your master in the eye.
“Look at me Magnus” demanded Azazel.
Magnus gladly obliged because his master's looks were magnetic.
Azazel had dark long raven hair, woven with some strands of gold by the side.
His skin was paler than milk as though he had never walked under the sun, his lips were sinfully attractive with a kissable pink, and his master attracted every sex or age male or female old or young…..
“Magnus Magnus” called Azazel and Magnus quickly gathered his scattered thoughts but the look on his master’s face had him realize that Azazel had read his thoughts because he was visibly smirking.
“What was your name before I named you Magnus,” asked Azazel
“Barachiel, master” answered Magnus.
"Do you know that’s the name of one of my former brothers, and he is the celestial of marriage, he also looks weak but deep within him there is a full channel of power.
I witnessed it myself when I tried to fight him so he could fight back and break the laws of the creator but with just one swing of his hand, he bound me and threw me outside our world”.
“I believe your mother was a rank one demon?” asked Azazel to Magnus.
“Yes, master “ replied Magnus and with that Azazel stood from his throne, gracefully and dangerously.
“Walk with me Magnus I have something to show and tell you” with that, Magnus followed his master.
Back at Dorne, King Levi had sent for the physician who was running a physical test on Arishem.
“My king, there seems to be nothing wrong with him but I have brought an ointment with me, to apply on his chest at night, for protection from cold,” said the physician as he handed the ointment to queen Elena's handmade.
“Children get cold faster than adults, as their immune system is not strong yet,” the physician said.
“Thank you,” said Elena to the physician.
Levi paid the physician for his job, and the man soon left.
“I just hope our son is alright,” said Elena worriedly.
“Of course he is alright”, Levi s, said with a smile, and they both turned to see the little prince, swinging his legs back and forth while sitting on the bed.
“Dada, moma hungyiiii” Elena and Levi laughed as they understood that Arishem was hungry and only asking for his meal.
“Oh come here, mama’s going to make your cakes,” said Elena, chuckling softly, as her son soon got off the bed, and walked towards her.
*******
In the royal kitchen of Dorne, Arishem was speaking baby language while asking for more of the sweet cakes his mother Elena had personally baked.
“Wait my little teaser, they are not yet fully baked” and Arishem made a sad face and turned away from his mother, as though he was mad at her.
All the maids couldn’t stop giggling at Arishem’s cuteness as their laughter echoed in the wide space of the royal kitchen which was painted an off-white colour, with utensils hanging on every rack, pots of different sizes which rested underneath the fine wooden table, and beautiful floors made of black and white marble stones, not to forget the sweet fragrance of fully baked berry cakes.
Elena scattered the logs of wood to bring down her fully baked cakes even though the maids had told her not to as it was no work of a queen.
Arishem quickly came to stand beside his mother waiting for his piece of cake but when he noticed the smoke affecting his mother’s eyes, he tugged on her skirt and she moved away from the smoke.
Levi had noticed this little action of Arishem because he had been watching Elena and Arishem all the while as he stood there.
Then, Levi made his presence known as all the maids quickly chorused greeting” milord”, and as soon as Elena and Arishem noticed him Elena quickly greeted but Arishem didn’t even care and shouted “papa” and then ran towards Levi.
Elena was giggling, while Levi chuckled at Arishem’s cuteness as he lowered his height to pick up his little son and answered Arishem.
“Yes son, papa’s here”, said Levi
In Levi’s throne room, he was thinking about how Arishem had called him Papa something he never got to call his father because he believed his father hated him. After all, his father had locked him in the dungeon despite knowing he hadn’t been the one to kill the maid.
But when he looked back now, he realized that his father had locked him in the dungeon, not for killing anyone, but for not having the courage to defend himself properly, realized his father had been training to teach teaching him all along even till the day he died.
Levi wished he could apologize for all the hate he had harboured against his father and tell him how grateful he was and how much he loved and respected him but now but it was already too late.
********
In Azazel’s garden, he and Magnus stood Azazel told Magnus the whole story of how Arishem came into existence. Azazel spoke,
"When I had been cast out of my world, I had plans to train and take revenge on the other celestials and the creator but on second thoughts, I realized I couldn’t win alone, so I decided to make my minions out of the creator’s very own creation, humans.
Since I had power over the flesh when the humans die I bring them from the dead but not fully for if they are dead and alive, only then could I possess them with all my raw hateful and sinful emotions so that they could forever be under my control.
Though the other celestials didn't know this, I had come to earth once and that time, I had a relationship with a woman to whom I was drawn, making me fulfil my carnal desires with her, something I had never done before.
Then, I returned to my world since the creator sent for me, and I couldn’t defy his orders.
Many years passed on earth, but I did not know, I had put a baby in the belly of the woman whom I loved, subjecting her and my son to suffer on earth before dying.
I found out from sources of mine, that Arishem and his mother Felicia, had been trapped and killed by some powerful creatures, who existed before I had come to rule hell, though Arishem had broken the reincarnation circle he had been trapped in, subjecting him to be born as a human baby from the womb of his mortal mother, and Felicia, had been killed, though I doubt she had been killed by those creatures, I would still love my son to kill those demons”.
“Magnus you would be his teacher, for him to be able to defeat mine and his enemies,” said Azazel.
“Your wishes are my commands, master” replied Magnus.
