#gargauth

Gargauth was sitting on the porch his father in law called Engawa, just watching his daughter crawl in the flower bed giggling. His son Caspian was trying to keep up with his twin sister, but was falling behind. The boy had been born sick, and not breathing. So Gargauth had used much of his powers to keep him alive and it had helped, but he was frail and sometimes needed help. Thankfully Caspian had not been born in Baator where his father would have been forced to kill him, the second he was born. Weakness was not allowed in Baator.

A baby scream from Caspian brought Gargauth back from his thoughts. He looked down at his son, who reached for his father. Gargauth lifted him up, "Yes? Was it something you wanted?" he asked the 8 month old baby, whom just gave him a fangy smile. After taking over so many layers in the Abyss, Gargauth's eyes had changed from glowing golden eyes, to something that resembled dragon fruit, still glowing. And Caspian's left eye had the same color as his, Velrissai his twin sister had her right eye like that. Caspian started to play with his beard, making baby noises.

"Don't pull" He said to his son to keep him from pulling on his beard, babies of any race had some serious grip strength, and Caspian was no different. "Ba!" was the only answer he got from the baby, who looked amused at his father. Gargauth ran his hand over where Caspian's horns would grow, and felt that they had started to grow a bit. Caspian just buried his face into his father's chest, inhaling deeply. Gargauth looked over to his daughter, and saw that she was crawling over to them at an impressive speed for a baby. "Must be jealous of her brother getting attention" Gatgauth thought as he used magic to lift her up and put her on his lap beside het twin.

Gargauth lent back on the wall behind him to make the twins more comfortable. He then stared to hum a song Batna had song when she was alive. A song Beherit and he listened to and memorized. And now Gargauth was singing it to his own children. Children he never thought he never would have. Beherit had been an idiot for going against Asmodeus the way he had, Beherit and Batna had promised him not to da anything stupid while he had been in the material plain, doing a job for Asmodeus, only to find out that Batna had become pregnant, and Asmodeus had killed all three of them. Gargauth had managed to save somethin from both of them as a memory of his best friend (and sometimes lover) and his wife, before he had exiled himself. He had some lost memories from around that time, but he suspected Beherit having done something to his head before he died.

Caspian started to get antsy and wanted to get free from his father's grip, so Gargauth put him down beside him. Caspian instantly started to play with his tail. Gargauth knew something was happening to him, especially when it came to his children. A devil would normally not care for their children, he had not done that to his other children, only cared enough to make shure that they would be born, then he would leave the woman to raise his offspring, but these two where different. Shure he had wanted to get free from the contract he had with his now wife Sitra Rosemary Holymoore, had it not been for his absolutely terrifying father in law, he would have done it too.

Reon Yamamoto Holymoore or Yamamoto the Elder was a man you should not go against, he still have some pains after the "Traditional Family Beating" as he called it, but he had gotten the hole family respect, something that was rear according to Sitra.

"Ouch!" Gargauth looks at his son. Caspian looks back at him, with his fathers tail in his mouth. "Caspian no biting daddy's tail" he says gently and removes it from his son's mouth. Caspian just giggles and tries to get it back, and now Velrissai had joined her brother in trying to bite his tail, thankfully a toddler Tavlon came walking over to him, and decided to help him. Only to yank the tail really hard, and Garaguth had to bite his tongue not to cry out in pain, the little boy had mabey the strongest grip Gargauth knew off. "Not so hard Tavlon. It hurt a bit." He said to the little boy with a smile. Then Caspian farted, and it was wet. "I need help" he thought.

"I will take Tav and Vel, you change Caspian" stated his wife Sitra when she came around the corner, and took two of the children. Garaguth knew better then argue. The one time Beherit had done that with Batna, it did not go well for him, and Gargauth hid behind a pillar in the throne room. "Come Caspian, lets get you cleaned up, and when we are done with that, it's time for some food, then a nap. Daddy needs one now" He said to his son, and got happy baby noises back.
