Prince of the Stars

Reyna herself is giggling at all the antics herself. It was like this back home too, this was the kind of dynamic that made her feel at home. "Hmm, maybe sometime next week. Your schedule should be clear by then. Oh, and if the rest of you wanna come for a day off or just a get away, you're more than welcome to visit too!" Reyna suggests.

"Yeah, next week should be good. Honestly, calling it now, next Saturday is a company mandated day off. After the shit we been through, a day off work is what we need." Blitz decides.

"No complaints from me. It's only gonna get more hectic after this in terms of clients I bet." Loona admits with a shrug.

"It feels weird. Like, something should have gone wrong along the way. Yet, we're doing a-okay, ain't we?" Millie chimes with a toothy grin.

"Well, in the future, I'll be sure to make it easy for you all to come visit! Arx, the Ancient Empire, the Canopies of Elandra, so many places to visit!" She exclaims happily. She always loved visitors to her world, always brought so much interesting exchanges and opportunities to learn!

"Hey, wait, weren't like me, Stolas, Ozzie, and Fizz planning like a triple date with your beloveds in your world at some point?" Blitz points out.

"Wait, seriously? Who's on Reyna's side?" Loona asks. She's not surprised, the lady would be prime date material.

"My husband and wife, Sadan and Sadha! And yes we were. I think after all of this, a triple date sounds like a great idea." Reyna responds.

"Oooo, you're poly, eh? They're lucky they get someone as sexy as you." Millie teases.

"Oh that is right, I had nearly forgotten that was a plan. It would be a nice time to get away from what will likely be the biggest story in hell for a spell. Plus meeting your spouses will be lovely as well," he replies after she finished mentioning her husband and wife. Then the owl is chuckling at the teasing that Millie does to her husband.

"Eheheh. I mean, I'm just me being me. Though, I'm glad I've found you all as well. It's been a joy to get to spend time with you lot, and I've enjoyed myself a lot, even in the more tumultuous times." She says happily, if feeing a bit embarrassed. Reyna doesn't truly think she does anything that special, she just helps a bit here and there in her mind.

"Seriously, no shitting, same." Blitz replies simply with a thumbs up. Shit has been on the up and up with Reyna. Course they still had problems crop up, but it's still been going well.

"I'm curious myself. Where is Reyna from? Certainly not Heaven or Hell, or anything around us." Moxxie says.

"I think dad said it was some place called, Rivellon?" Loona hums trying to remember.

"Oooo, what's it like there?!" Millie asks.

Octavia nods at Moxxie's question and while listening to what the others say she hums in thought. "It's another world isn't it? I think I heard something from dad mentioning it in passing once... Plus, when he teaches me from the grimoire I saw a couple of passages about it. I'd like to see it too whenever you let us visit. If it's okay with you dad?"

"Ah, it's honestly not that big of a deal. I just helped out because I could. Besides, you're my friends, it's only natural for me to wanna help you out!" She says smiling softly.

"Honestly, the way dad tells it, you're the one who saved Fizz, taught them both magic, took care of him and Stolas during the overlord business, and probably a couple other things at this point." Loona hums, eating as she speaks.

"Add helped Stolas learn how to fight with his magic, stood up to Mammon over a new hater law, and now helped get us acquitted in court to that list. All in all, you've done a lot of shit for us." The imp points out.

"Wait, hater law? What does that mean?" Moxxie asks.

"Oh, right. Uhh, greedy dick tried to basically make it a law about dating royals you'd have to make a crazy amount of money. Reyna got him to back down on it." He elaborates.

"Damn, seriously?! Yer really somethin' then, Reyna." Millie says amazed as she and Moxxie enjoy the food too.

Octavia looked surprised by what Blitz says, having not realized just how much the divine lizard had done for her father and the others. Honestly she was glad for it too since Stolas did seem healthier overall, like his state of being wasn't a forced front of happiness any more. While she was sad that her parents were broken up she was more glad that he was doing better away from her mother.

"Even if you only introduced them, you still helped him figure out how to work his magic better in the long run. I'm glad that you found your way into their lives... Thank you."

"And I for one am glad you were able to stand up for those you care about." Reyna says as she finishes cooking. With that, she begins serving it up.

"Ya know, I think this is the first time I've had her cooking for me." He muses. He remembers Fizz once saying she did the same, with magically created ingredients. Fuck, that was a while ago now, wasn't it? How much he's changed in his view of her since then, and how much shit has gone down in general.

"Mmm, this looks scrumptuous!" Moxxie says happily taking a seat next to Millie.

"Thanks fer the meal, ma'am!" Mille chimes in.

Octavia sits near her dad, still a bit uneasy over what transpired. Though to be fair to her, her father did always somehow land himself into sticky situations without meaning to be in them. She smiles to Reyna and gives a quiet thanks before she tries a bite of the food as well. Then she perks up more because holy shit it was really good!

"Dude, that dragon was the sickest part! It was massive, and did you see how that little bitch crumbled after seeing it?! That shit was fucking hilarious to see!" Blitz says, showing off the picture of Andrealphus all curled up. Millie and Loona snicker, and even Moxxie has to resist a chuckle.

"Well, I'm glad to see that you've learned well." Moxxie says smiling at the prince. It was impressive, that Stolas had learned such things even on his own.

"Honestly, hope we don't have to see him ever again. Dick." Loona says, arms crossed. She was just glad that he was gone from their lives now. Or at least he should be. She then realizes that might be a bit rude to Octavia. "Err, sorry." She says, rubbing the back of her head.

Octavia chuckles too and then blinks a bit at when Loona apologizes, "you don't have to apologize for him. He doesn't deserve that... I've never really liked my uncle anyway." He'd always rubbed her the wrong way with his 'mightier than thou' attitude and how she'd caught her father at the butt of his jokes more times than she can count.

"Damn, people are going crazy over this. Lotta praise for Blitz and Stolas." She says, looking at the owl as he comes back. "You really made a good impression on the little guys." She adds smiling. And on her especially, as he really saved her dad.

"It was pretty amazin' to watch. You really showed that jerk what fer, both in court and combat!" Millie exclaims.

"I have to ask, though, where did you learn to use your magic so effectively in a fight, your majesty? I mean, you are powerful, but I don't think I've ever seen you use your magic like that!" Moxxie asks curiously.

"I'm glad they approved of my saving him because it would have happened one way or another." He chuckles before looking to Moxxie at his question, "well part of it was training with Reyna and her friend to figure out more uses for my portals such as redirecting attacks or forming actual attacks from them. The plant magic was from researching further into various botanical books and the grimoire to combine skills I've honed before. As for that dragon, well I must admit that I merely copied his idea but being out in actual space certainly helped me grow its size."

"No kidding. I swear, I'm starting to lose count of all the times you've helped us out." He points out. Reyna always said she has a tendency to help when she can. And it's clear that that wasn't an exaggeration.

"Hehehe, I'm just me being me, is all. I'm always happy to help." She says before looking around. "Now, how about I make us a victory meal to celebrate? I've been wanting to make something nice for you all for a while, and this seems as good of an occassion as any!" She suggests.

Millie's stomach growls. They hadn't eaten since the arrest happened, and she's a bit embarrassed. "Well, sure, if y'er feelin' up to it." She says.

Stolas chuckles as Reyna exclaims she wants to make a celebratory meal for them all and he nods, "of course not, go ahead and use whatever you'd like Reyna. I'm going to go change into something more comfortable if that's alright with you all." He was after all still in his official royal clothes and they weren't exactly the most comfortable thing he had to wear.

"Dad! Oh my gosh, thank fuck you're okay!" She says crying. Moxxie and Millie were equally worried. They only notice Reyna as soon as she steps through the portal last.

"Is that...that lady that was helping yous in court, yer majesty?" Millie asks.

"Hello! My name is Reyna. It's a pleasure to meet you all." She says offering a curtsy.

Stolas hugs his daughter as soon as she hugs him and he nods, "of course I am, I wasn't about to let that fool of a demon one up us." He smiled and then looked over to Moxxie and Millie as they address him and Reyna and he nods, "well, I certainly couldn't let him be found guilty of something that wasn't his fault. I'm just glad that Reyna could come as fast as she did... I doubt it would have turned out as well as it had otherwise."

Blitz feels the cuffs and chains finally come off of him. With that, he looks at Striker, who is death gripping the witness stand. He smirks, and flips him off as he walks over to Stolas and Reyna.

"Damn Stolas, that was fucking crazy! I mean, I know you've gotten better, but I never expected THAT!" Blitz proclaims. He was damn amazed, he was so gonna pamper this bird later when they got home.

"It was very impressive, Stolas. I'm sure Elfilin will be proud to know of how much progress you've made as well." She says before looking about. "But for now, shall we take this conversation elsewhere. I think it would be best to not have it in the middle of the courtroom." The lizard then suggests.

He smiles down to the imp before looking a bit bashful at the further praise and he chuckles. Then he's looking up at the other demons whom were very obviously discussing amongst themselves about the display they'd just witnessed. "Agreed, I would much rather leave the trash to them for now if that's alright? Ah but first, let us collect our invaluable witness so that we may all return home hm?"

"Ya know, I would feel bad for him, if he wasn't such a total ass." Reyna winced. This was just sad to watch really.

He chuckles at the imp's antics in capturing the moment on his phone and shakes his head fondly but when Satan is addressed he looks up to the larger demon as he wonders the same.

"Hmph. It doesn't look good for him, but before I declare this shit show done let me just first check this evidence." He says as he takes the results given to him from the contracts that Stella signed. When it shows that Stella had in fact signed it he gives a low growl, "I find the case against the imp over since this proves that it was in fact Stolas' ex-wife that contracted the assassination attempt. Release him."

"Hahaha! His is bigger than yours!" Blitz jeers. It's then clear that Andrealphus isn't even able to muster a retort. "Uhhh...I think you broke him." He points out.

"For once he was wise enough to not speak up and make things worse for himself." The owl demon huffs it out before looking to Satan as he's addressed. The large demon looks rather still before smirking. "Hmph, never thought I would say this but I agree that Stolas won this dumb ass not fight. Plus, Andrealphus let something slip that intrigues me."

"UUURGH! ENOUGH OF THIS FUCKERY!" He shouts, and suddenly creates a massive ice dragon over him, standing guard. He's clearly overexerting himself though. "Let's see you do something about this, you little shit!" He gloats, panting.

"Huh. That's not half bad, admittedly. Though, it's made of ice, so it shouldn't be hard to beat." Reyna hums.

"Oh what, is the little prince scared that he needs to get his big bad dragon to save his sorry little ass?!" The imp continues to taunt.

"SILENCE BEFORE I KILL YOU TOO!" Andrealphus roars as a retort.

Stolas was watching and listening to what was happening in the courtroom from his place in space through his portals, waiting for the opportune moment to strike but when Andrealphus forms that dragon and then threatens to kill his beloved imp the owl hisses himself.

"Lay a hand upon him and you will not live to regret it Andrealphus!" His voice came from one of the portals to the ice demon's right. It then began to grow by absorbing the other portals before a large mass of what looked to be the pure cosmos stepping through. It too was shaped like a dragon only quite a bit larger and Stolas was riding upon its back.

"GAH!" He shouts as suddenly the attacks are redirected. Not only that, but he has to dodge these...energy discs?! When could he make those?! He gets grazed by one of them, their speed and percision was terrifying. His eyes tremble, but he lets out a trilling growl and then begins trying to use massive ice spikes trailing along the ground to impale the prince. If that didn't work, he'd have them shoot off the ground and into the air!

"His control is actually pathetic. Those jagged ice shards wouldn't hit an airborne target with their shotgun style aim. Let alone the ice crawling towards their opponent so slowly." She says, batting away an ice shard that almost hit her.

"Laaaaaame! Come on discount Elsa, do better!" Blitz jeers.

"What does...What?!" He does a double take at what Blitz says.

"Hmph, did you think a blind rage attack would do better than your controlled one?" Stolas merely forms and throws a larger astral disc through the form ice spikes, cutting them away harmlessly before they could get him and then he throws something into the ground which turn out to be quickly growing vines that's feeding with his magic. It wasn't something he'd been practicing around the others yet but something he'd learned on his own in his grimoire.

The vines immediately shoot out to grab at Andrealphus while Stolas is forming multiple portals around near the other Goetia and he steps through one, trying to surprise the peacock with which one he'd be coming through to get to him.

"FUCK HIM UP STOLAS!" Blitz shouts, cheering him on. Striker and Andrealphus glare at him, which causes him to flip them both off.

Ozzie is sharing popcorn with Bee, the latter of which has a massive bucket of it. Nobody else really knows what he and Stolas have been up to. So this was gonna be fun to watch.

Stolas merely watches as Andrealphus speaks and fixes him with a glare, "oh do shut up and just fight." Seeing the ice shards form and come at him has Stolas flaring up his petrification glare, seemingly making things worse until the last second he opens two portals, one catching the now stone shards and the other throwing them directly at the peacock. With that done the owl forms thin disc like blades of condensed astral magic to throw at Andrealphus too, giving him multiple threats to dodge.

"Come now, all that talk better be backed up by more than just that Andrealphus!" He's been waiting his whole life for this moment to get back at the other Goetia and he was bound and determined to do so.

"Wh-what witness?! What the fuck are you talking about?!" Striker shouts, his hands grabbing the podium he was in rage. What was fucking going on?! Wasn't this supposed to be simple and clean like that stupid peacock said?! If he has to squeal, he'll drag those two down with him.

Before the evidence can be handed off though...

"STOLAS! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A HELLION DUEL!" Andrealphus shouts. He is flustered and agitated and he needs some way of reigning this back into his favor. "I will not stand by and let this slander of me, and my incredible gorgeous sister go by without satisfaction! Thus, I challenge you to a duel in the name of our honor!" He proclaims.

"Oh, this is rich." Reyna chuckles. They had him dead to rights. She then looks to Stolas. "Ya know what? Go ahead I say. It's time to show the other royals how much you've grown." She encourages him.

"Oh, I'll call him to the stand once your turn is over." Stolas just gives a wry smirk as he's handing off the documents. Or he was going to anyway before Andrealphus demands for a duel. Really? Was he that desperate to call for such a thing in the presence of Satan and in the courtroom?

The owl demon regarded the peacock as he explains the reasoning behind his demand and at the encouragement of Reyna he smirks. "You know, I think I will actually. It will be nice to embarrass him on top of his inevitable loss. Of course, this is with your permission sire?"

While he wanted to end this trial quickly, he also was curious about the result of this. After all, it was a pretty well known rumor that Stolas was probably the weakest of the Goetias. "You may but I will be taking that evidence first." He takes the evidence to go get tested before nodding to the pair of avian demons.
