Chapter 20: All The Legends Are True

Rebellious in our hearts but we are sinners from birth.

There was a difference between fate and power.

Same as there is with love and betrayal.

Rebellion was in the eyes of the evil one.

He tried to get my soul but I only settle.

I am the one they chose so I am fighting this battle with the only one I trust.

Ares Mickelson, the most powerful true-blooded king of the kingdom of Meth.

"Your Majesty you called upon me"? Luca the Captain of the royal guards, also a warlock, walks in his head bowed in respect as he glanced at his king.

"Yes, Luca. I want you to look into this fluid. It's a demon Ichor".

Ares starts, giving the captain the red and orange fluid that he collected from Asmodeus Valac's trace left on the grass.

"A de_ a demon Ichor you say your majesty?. All demons are into extinction already. The former King. Great King Asa, your father wiped them all off, while you, your majesty, bound him into the darkest dungeon."

Luca whose eyes already turned red with fear and petrification gasps.

"I believe this ichor does not belong to a mere demon. Your majesty, it is more powerful than, I can feel it's energy".

Luca complains.

"Yes, a greater demon_"Ares was cut off their conversation when Avalon walks in wearing his cloak and pants as she was trying to fold them on her tiny waist.

"Why must you be sinfully well built and the same time sinfully handso- Ah" Avalon quickly shut her mouth when she saw Luca, she scrutinized him, he was wearing a royal guards attire. But his looks like a high ranks. She could sense his energy, she is sure he is a Lycan neither is he a warewolf.

He is a warlock.

"A warlock?". She gasps in surprise. Shocked that warlock still exists.

"Warlocks still exists?". She asks disturbed, not worrying about the pants she was folding around her tiny waist as she walks towards Ares.

The pants fell disgracefully from her waist, revealing her well tonned legs.

Thank heavens she was wearing a large cloak that belongs to a certain big handsome king.

(A/N...oh my oh my, that was so embarrassing, in front of Luca?...okay read on)

I loud growl resonates throught the room.

Ashter is not content that another man was hungrily staring at his woman's legs.

Infact he wanted to rip out Luca's throats..

Quickly, Luca looked away bowing his read completely, his face flushed.

"My_ my _apologies your majesty. I shall take my leave now."

"No stay, I am the one to apologize for making you uncomfortable. I didn't know Ares was not alone. And I am been silly for my curiosity caused it". Avalon replies, not faulting Luca at all.

"Oh your majesty. Your grace, please I would like to take my leave since you bothe are_". Luca was cut short by Ares who is now carrying look that could awaking a thunderstorm.

If looks could kill.

Luca would be twelve feets down the earth.

"As if." He snorts

"My love, come sit beside me. You're making my captain uncomfortable."

Even though it was Ashter who was feeling mad.

"Either it's me or I don't know, but I can sense a very powerful energy from you, I cannot point out what kind of great and immense power from you. My queen, perhaps are you a witch, like a high witch?"

Luca asks, his curiosity piqued.

"Like from the greatest clan in history. Um_if you do not want respond to that. But you really are_".

Luca was cut off.

"Really you should just speak to that reason you came here for not the bothering about my woman damn it!".

Ares growled in annoyance. Or Is it jealousy? .

"Yeah right we where saying?..."

"Asmodeus Valac's ichor. And his reason for his return"!

While Ares was briefing Luca about Asmodeus. Suddenly he could sent the said see demon.

But Asmodeus, as always is hiding in the shadows.

But Ares is pure-blooded Lycan. .

He could smell a scent from any distance.

He stills, and Asmodeus appears.

"Oh if it is not the legendary king of the great kingdom of Meth. Ares Elijah Mickelson. It is nice to meet you again. Been a while dear 'brother'" Asmodeus' voice booms as he makes himself known amongst those planning his death.

"Yeah?. I could say the same thing but seeing I was the one who bound in the eternal abyss. And you shamelessly bargained your way out into this world, only to quench to our lonesomeness. I assure you it is not a pleasant timing". Ares declared as he shook hands with Asmodeus whose eye color has changed into it's devilish red orb.

The man, Asmodeus Valac. A greater demon and the prince of hell. A very beautiful man, tan skin and lean. Tall with sharp jawline. His hair are a shade a black and red, as he stretched his arm, smirking when his eyes landed on the female behind Ares.

He stares with pure hunger and pure in sight but evil at heart. He tends to get his hands on whatever he wants.

Not caring whatever it takes for him to have it.

His eyes changes back to it's normal green color.

"I see your egoism has increased now that you've became king. I am sure your little bed warmer. That little thing hasn't learnt what type of power she posseses. She has only awaken it. Is it a surprise that if other demons haven't come hunting for her."?

Asmodeus says, gesturing towards Avalon.

"Wow, a demon?". Avalon mindlinks Ares.

"All the legends are true!". Ares responds in her head. But was cutt off when Asmodeus attempt to touch her.

"Asmodeus!" Ares growled.

"Oh Elijah. Let me reintroduce myself to you my queen. I am Asmodeus Velasquez. But better as Velac. And I must say, you look rather stunning in your man's attire than that of a weak and feeble minded women of your kingdom. I will be infact delighted if I am given the honor to hear you speak." Asmodeus says, already in front of Avalon. Taking her hands as he smells her knuckles like a maniac. It brings a dangerous feeling to Avalon's stomach.

The man does not seem scary as she has heard from Ares.

So she allowed him to kiss her fingers.

She could feel the tingles wash over her skin and it irks her. she only feel this things with Ares.!

His gaze travels to her neck.

"And the high and mighty king finally falls in love with the powerful lamb and he marks her his. Elijah I thought we both agreed she is mine. Why stay selfish. You and I both know you have everything, everything that belongs to me. And so you sent to me hell. Damn it 'Edomei'. You know how it feels like to be stuck in that abyss for 18 damned years just to protect this feeble mate of yours?".

Asmodeus explodes, now at the verge of destroying the palace.

Ares knows Asmodeus well. He know how he gets when he is angry.

And Ashter was rather masochistic too.

If both of them clashes, the lives of the people of his kingdom of Meth will certainly be at stake.

And he is not ready for that kind of war.

At least not before ensuring the safety of his mate and the people of his kingdom.

So he just stays quiet and watch Asmodeus do his thing.

"She is mine. All mine, why mark her?"!

Asmodeus screams dangerously, Avalon and Luca flinched.

Suddenly a loud laugh erupted from his lips.

"Oh my oh my. I am so sorry my little fragile woman. I didn't mean to scare you. Well, yucks I already did." He smiles nervously.

"Well, Asmodeus Velasquez. it's nice to finally put a face to the name."!

Avalon retorts, not letting down her guard. Infact she was not scared of this madding demon, the prince of hell.

She never saw this coming but she could not help but relish in the feeling that she was not scared of Asmodeus.

"Oh I love this one. I claim her mine. You don't mind Elijah do you?". Asmodeus says, holding Avalon's gaze as an amused smile crosses his lips.

"Claim me?. Really?. Do I seem like a property or something to be claimed?".

She replies sassily. She was not giving this prince of hell the joy of making her feel like an object he can claim as his.

"You don't dare to Asmodeus!" Ares growled about to lunge after him.

"Oh watch me!". In a split seconds Avalon is gone with Asmodeus.

He had vanished with her into thin air.

Ares and Luca stood petrified.

This was no joke to Asmodeus. He has really return to claim what is not rightfully his.

Ashter was fighting for dominance.

His mate was stolen under his nose.!

"Fucking do something Ares. Or swear by the blue moon. Your whole kingdom will burn down to ashes by my burning rage. "

Ashter, Ares' wolf threatens.

Ares turns to Luca immediately, "Call in prince Dorian, tell Prince Derrick. And then organize an emergency meeting of the representatives as soon as possible." He starts, his eyes turning to a shade green darker with rage.

"Assemble the armies. To strengthen the palace and to ensure the safety of my kingdom. We attack silently. Asmodeus wants war. And war It is I will give to him."

Yes your highness!". Luca responds, he is currently on his knees, the man before him is exuding a very great intimidating and breathe taking aura, he couldn't keep up.

Luca bows to his king. And then is released once Ares regains his composure.

"Oh Asmodeus, when I come for you, you would never know what hit you"! Ares growls.
