Vlad stared at the tincture before he downed it gagging. According to every doctor he had the worlds worst case of Anemia. He took his steak rarer than most would and his canines were far more prominent than others but that was fine. His skin burned easier in the sun that was fine too! He didn’t have a job outside so he could avoid that. Life was good, he made decent pay enough to cover expenses and a bit to put away for the rainy day or when his health bill was too much. Fruit helped.... that was the part the doctors couldn’t explain, why the fruit alleviated the symptoms. He had always been pale and stick like, but he figured he just couldn’t keep on weight.

Sometimes he had nightmares, ones that passed through his mind and stayed in the far back. Visions of himself soaked in blood, the bodies so many bodies, the smell of fire, brimstone and everything laid to waste. A firey crown perched over his head and a cry of anguish from his lips as he sat back upon a twisted throne and looked on at his work before him. Made for a good DnD plot.

His service dog was an enormous fluffball named Cerberus, though he didn’t start out so big, what had once been a five pound fluff had become a hundred thirty pound mass of muscle and fluff. Cerberus was a very protective dog and while he says that he saved Cerberus it was the other way around. He still thinks it was a dream, there was no way that the dog’s mouth unhinged and swallowed a gun.

Days passed the same, either working at the Bar, tending his bees, or playing video games till the crack of dawn pierced his red-eyed gaze. He attended the local university and was making his way in getting a doctorate in History. Having been praised for his writing and essays. The most common was, “you must have lived there in a past life!!!” He chuckled but honestly his dreams were rather vivid of things he shouldn’t know. He specifically had latched onto history of Eastern Europe.

"got it!" Layla said as the lock clicked and she untangled Julius from the chains and Julius sighed rolling his shoulders for a moment before he reached into the mirror and yanked Vlad out

"sorry unless you have someone hiding from the law that you need found I'm all out of tricks"

"well technically I'd you're a necromancer and Lucifers body is technically dead you should be able to swap their souls back" Angela said shrugged"it's simple necromancy Layla frowned

Lucifer tried to move the hammer keeping him in place.

"perfect" Julius said all to gleefully as he took it

"don't do things like that you act like the self righteous hero who is going to sacrifice himself to save everyone else" Layla said glaring at him

"no" she said glaring as her temper rose she even went as far as pointing her sword at his throat

"in this together or not at all, losing you isn't an option either." Nikki told him agreeing with Layla

"we're coming. Stop being the hero and be our brother. Because in this case we will literally follow you into the depths of hell if we have too" Nikki told him Layla nodded a bit she still didn't dare move knowing Vlad may try to abandon them

"you try to run and I'll smash that mirror and figure out how to close hell on my own" Layla told him lowering her sword and taking his hand Nikki took his other one and helped him up before she hurried to Ezra and kissed his cheek

"thank you" she said softly before she returned to her brother and sister

“All magic is willpower you have to will the portal closed. You three are more than capable. I am merely here for guidance.”

When it was done Nikki opened her eyes and amiled

Callista made her way back up the way they had come from her work done.

Vlad smiled, “it’s done. We can at last rest and I certainly think we have earned some cake at least.” Vlad chuckled.

-

Kit kissed Hades, “they did it can’t you feel it darling? I think we can go back home and cuddle as we were before?”

-

Ezra hurried to where Nikki was and pulled her into his arms, “my little badass!”

"please wait for your blasphemy until you're I'm your bedroom" Raphael teased looking between them with a smile

"there are some unstable buildings and sharp objects around wouldn't want you getting hurt"

--

Nikki laughed as Ezra hugged her and Carina soon joined them. Honey was next as she was helped over by Julius both looked a little worse for ware, fighting the devil tended to do that.

-

Julius frowned looking between where Vlad had gone and where horny still stood before he sighed and shook his head

"got it!" Layla said as the lock clicked and she untangled Julius from the chains and Julius sighed rolling his shoulders for a moment before he reached into the mirror and yanked Vlad out

Everyone was mad and looking for her, they didn’t get the story or else they would have murdered their queen too, hell the way the dad acted they probably would have thrown him in there as well but that wasn’t his focus right now.

The focus was Daria, the poor girl was practically shaking as they hurried through the dark night and he was guiding her as best he could, they had no light but he could see still demon eyes were wonderful that way. He just had to get her to Hades right? Hades always knew what to do and despite everything he was good with dealing with kids and crossing boarders would somewhat keep her safe right?

Julius lead Daria around a root so she wouldn’t trip before he could see light through the trees, not far up ahead a few small candles still flickered in the windows and he smiled as they got closer and Julius knocked loudly in the doors and looked at Daria she was still frightened and probably in shock it had been far to long of an adventure of them running and he actually felt bad for the kid. First murder,her entire country out to kill her for it….yeah it was a mess for a teenager to have to deal with.when the door opened Julius smiled

“forgive me for the interruption I know it’s late but my companion and I request lodgings for the night and uh….” Julius figured out how to out this,Hades was the boogeyman he couldn’t pull that card yet

Some people thought it would be a blessing to know the exact day you were going to die but daria found it was just frightening, her greatest confidant was now her most feared person and what was more if this was going to happen she didn’t want Vlad to be there to witness it but she also didn’t want to be alone.

Little did she know Julius was going through a similar struggle. He didn’t want her soul, he never got attached like this to his victims but he also had never actually gotten to spend as much time with them as he did daria.

“if Julius doesn’t they’ll send hell hounds to collect and I fear that might be fair more frightening than Julius” Daria admitted to him nervously she squeezed him tighter still frightened at the thought

Daria took his hands and removed them from her face squeezing them tightly as she smiled at him

“just because I won’t be here doesn’t mean I won’t love you. You won’t be alone, you’ll still have Gilgamesh and Hades and Ezra. Just remember please that I love you and I love this world so please don’t let your father win and don’t end it alright?” Daria asked him if he destroyed the world there was no hope for reincarnations, did she have a chance at reincarnations? It was such an odd line she wished she had learned more before making such a deal.

Hades held him tight and sighed

“I’m sorry, I wish I could stay” she said to him softly

Hades went to find Julius he was certain that Julius was having an absolute crisis, he hadn’t been to bother him in weeks which was strange and that was what had spurred Hades to investigate he knew the couple needed their time.

Julius was in his own little place that had been built, papers and tomes and scrolls everywhere and Hades suspected that when Julius spoke of future conspiracy theorist that this was what it might look like. Julius sat in the corner of the room, his desk was toppled and anything that even resembled glass was shattered on the floor

“I can’t save her” Julius said to him as Hades looked at him and sighed

“no you can’t”

“Hades she’s my daughter,” Julius said he choked on his words and Hades could see the tears being held back and he sighed

“I know Julius, so it’s best that you do it over anyone else.” Hades told him and Julius looked up at him looking so emotionally broken

“Daria we’re almost out of time,” Julius told her sighing “if I’m a minute late with your soul I bet you Lucifer himself will come to collect and I’d rather keep your reputation if not being killed by the devil in tact, a final fuck you if you’ll have it” Julius said Daria couldn’t help but laugh a little though her stomach was in knots still she nodded and turned to vlad

“I love you,” she told him earnestly she needed to be sure he would remember that she wouldn’t be able to find him if there was no world to come back to after all. She let him go after what felt like an eternity to soon and stood from their bed going to Julius as he conjured an ornate red dagger and took a deep breath himself

“I’ll make it easy in us both alright?” Julius promised her and she nodded shutting her eyes tight and Hades moved to stand with Vlad just in case

Julius took a deep breath as he looked at the girl he had protected and raised for the past ten years, a wonderful ten years if his existence and he could only end it now.

Gilgamesh let out a mournful howl and came to his Master and Mistress resting a sad head upon Daria and offering what comfort he could to Vlad.

A servant came in to see the matter and screamed running off. “Assassins! Murderers!” She cried out as she ran away. “Guards! Guards!”

“I’m so sorry,” Julius told him softly his voice shook “if I could take it all back I’d want to lead you to her to save her from that witch,” Julius apologize to the both of them

A terrible thud and the servant who had run off fell to the ground very much dead. Lucifer smiled as he walked in from the shadows. “Oh dear what a lovely scene. Seems like last time it was your mother wasn’t it? You failed to save her too didn’t you boy? And Hades? Away from your desk? Mmm perhaps a lesson to be added to your afternoon brother?” Lucifer smiled as he stood over Vlad. “That is how I like you.” He grinned as he crossed his arms. “Distraught and hell bent on destroying-“

“No.” Vlad said.

“No? Look at what chaos you have already wrought? The Sultan is dead. Which may or may not be your fault.” Lucifer looked at him. “Come on boy you showed far more power when you lost your Mother! Did you not love your precious Daria too?”

“I love her, I love my Mother, and I will not let you twist it for your personal ends.”

“I am allowed to leave, I’m ahead of my work for just such an occasion. It’s not a crime” Hades muttered before he turned to vlad

“let’s go then, you have a home awaiting you” Hades told him he knelt down and gently took Daria from him

“she wants you to live remember that, in order for that to happen you have to trust me to care for her and help me bring Julius back as well” Hades told him he gave a small smile and ruffled vlad’s hair as if he were a kid again, the boy he had so missed

Everyone was mad and looking for her, they didn’t get the story or else they would have murdered their queen too, hell the way the dad acted they probably would have thrown him in there as well but that wasn’t his focus right now.

Julius nodded and stood leaving the tent to order a kettle of the tea be brought before he returned to them  “i’m fine to by the way.” Julius added with a smile it was good to see another familiar face 

“Where is he?”

“Who?”

“Hades.”

“Someone has to watch over home.”

Vlad pouted, “surely Hades misses me.”

"forgive me for the interruption I know it's late but my companion and I request lodgings for the night and uh...." Julius figured out how to out this,Hades was the boogeyman he couldn't pull that card yet

Julius nodded and stood leaving the tent to order a kettle of the tea be brought before he returned to them  “i’m fine to by the way.” Julius added with a smile it was good to see another familiar face

Daria nodded a little and smiled she was relieved that they weren’t avoiding each other any more and could get back to normal.  “Sounds fun,” she said to him she went back over to where he had been and took a seat, she spread the blanket over both their backs and leaned into his shoulder

“Either ask questions or it’s your turn to read to me for a change.” she said to him slightly teasing as she curled up close to him, he was surprisingly warm and comforting

“But asking questions means I get to learn more about you.” Vlad said. “I can read to you tomorrow.” He took the other side of the blanket and curled up next to her. Gilgamesh trotted in and cuddled at their feet. “Alright, I’ll go first. Would you rather never eat bread again or never eat pastries?”

Daria chuckled a little “Well there is bread in pastries isn’t there? so would those be excluded or just bread on it’s own?” She asked him curious if that would effect the pastries she could eat, it was a fun game to think about but surely she’d miss bread if she had no choice but to pick an option

“Bread as in plain put some butter on it bread, bread like pastries are still pastries.” Vlad confirmed while leaning back, he was comfortable and being here with her made him at peace. How he had missed this over the week, and the terrible sleep why he was starting to blink thickly with sleep.

Daria’s eyes had already drifted closed as she tried to stay awake cuddled close to him

The doors opened and the Sultan’s representative entered, “I hope we aren’t interrupting anything.” As he walked by he stole up a cup draining it and tossing it aside. He looked to be about Vlad’s age and had clearly come from Romania originally.

So they did send an army composed of those they had taken to serve, it was demoralizing.

“If the Sultan had known he would have sent his congratulations along with his decree.”

“His decree? We are not subservient to him,” Vlad reminded him. “Merely neighbors.”

Vlad glared at the boy, however this was what the Sultan did every so many years, “how many.” He asked.

“One thousand,” he then gestured to Vlad, “and one. The Sultan doesn’t like having to send people all this way just to ask a favor. He invites you to come live in his court.”

“And if I refuse?” Vlad asked.

“may my new husband and I discuss this in private? You may join us for our celebratory banquet that will be prepared shortly in the meantime, lord Weaver will kindly show you and your men our best wine in the meantime” daria said nodding towards Julius as he came forward and nodded to the boy there

“if not for the fact that I was just married and white stains so easily I may have, however my bloodthirsty ways are not suited for your people and Anton wouldn’t help us even if we could send word and ask for such allegiances” daria told him she moved closer and held him in her arms

“and I need your love for it gives me strength.” She told him wrapping her arms around his neck

“You have returned, made any head way on your decision little Prince?” The boy asked.

Vlad walked up very clearly showing he stood over the other in height, “we will give the Sultan his dues and gladly take as much advantage of his hospitality as you have of ours.” Vlad grinned. “Perhaps we can foster a better friendship. That being said we won’t be held responsible for the actions we take should any mistreatment befall us.”

“That is admirable and yet perhaps you might not survive the journey, then your wife might need better company.” He reached out towards Daria.

“be thankful I’m in my wedding gown, it’d the only reason you lived” daria warned him as she once more took vlad’s hand and held it tight

“This insult will not be forgotten.”

“it’s been nice chatting with you, let’s do it again soon” she said as she practically skipped off with Vlad to go have their dance.

Julius noticed Hades seething in a corner himself and approached

“what’s wrong? I think they handled that beautifully”

“if you get excited about that try to be around when one of the idiots inevitably fails to heed my warning” daria said to him she saw them bring out the cake and her eyes kit up at the sight if it

“they shouldn’t be given so much power over you, your father already tried to decide your gate who are they to take more of the freedom you have?” Hades asked glaring over at the soldiers

"I'll take good care of your kid don't worry, turn the light show off before your hair starts smoking and we have a problem" Julius warned him swearing he could already see smoke but Hades shut his eyes and took a few deep breaths

“yes I have, it’s uh difficult for me to talk about though” Hades admitted to him fidgeting slightly himself he knew Vlad missed Daria greatly, it had been a while now since she’d gone

“you should rest Vlad, even a prince needs his rest” Hades assured him before he headed for the door

“you need to stop gifting me such important heirlooms, I already had your ring” she said holding up her other hand with the ring from the festival

“I don’t want to take everything from you that has your mother’s memory and I know I’ve already got your heart as you have mine” Daria said to him

Julius watched from afar shaking his head

“you’re sixteen!”

“practically adults,” Daria said turning and looking at him Julius groaned
