"Father.. What will we do, the Queen--", Abaddon audibly ground his teeth.

"I know, Heiracles, that... That woman sent all of my retainers into The Abysmal. We, and they, will persevere though...", in the perpetual twilight of this Sigil blighted hemisphere, his father, the ex-communicated King, his Majesty King Abaddon Tir'Helion's eyes glowed quite eerily to Heiracles discomfort.

Yet, still, they would glow back home, in Lagumanning, ever since The Covenant, but then.. Then he could still pretend his eyes had been playing tricks on him, but now it was impossible not to notice, in this constantly darkened Southern hemisphere. What did those strange people do to his parents? Was his mother, Zoe, the same.. ? Being pulled out of his reverie by his father's next words.

"Come, Heiracles. I see our new home, we have much to do over the next few thousand years." the King's face expressing a serene, almost seemingly, "knowingly" comfortable smile, as the jaw of his son Heiracles dropped as these words were uttered by his father.

"We shall not see even one, father! We Duon live barely half of one, you jest. Surely, you speak of our children, or possibly even their own children?"

Abaddon barely allowed Heiracles to finish his sentence before his head started shaking. "Dearest son.. I See much more than you could currently fathom. Come, save your questions."

Heiracles awoke in a cold sweat, bolting up to a sitting position before realizing he was in his own chambers, his wife sleeping undisturbed next to him. With his elbows on his knees, he placed his head in his hands, exhaling heavily, "It was like I was there, reliving Our Banishment all over again..", voicing his thoughts in a a barely audible whisper.

*******************************************************

This is the end of my first chapter, I won't lie, at first it this book will likely be rather slow moving, seeing as I will be writing as I go along, I have worked out, more or less, the beginnings and the end. Just haven't worked out the middle. anyways, I hope you all enjoy it and vote me up for more have a wonderful day and don't forget to be safe out there in this crazy world we live in! I'll be adding this in to each posted chapter, to show support to those that support me, thank you. I want to dedicate a section of each chapter to the love of my life, Kreation. For supporting my dream and urging me forward on my desires to finally 'put pen to paper', so to speak by writing out my book for you all to read, thank you so much for the support and love. 🥰
