Stering his drink and watching his younger cousins struggle with a bored game, Xzaviar never felt so bored in his life. "Ain't you supposed to be on Marlos gard?" his sister, Alex, teased, "getting lazy or something up? I see no cast".
"I'm on vacation" Xzaviar explained but she was clearly not buying it.
"Right so what battle made you have an early vacation?" Alex took his drink out of his hand and chugged it, "Marlo doesn't do that out of the blue and everyone knows that".
"I'm not telling you" Xzaviar snapped getting up as he remembered that day with Strongmind. He couldn't get Strongmind out of his mind ever since, even when Marlo had him in interrogated, Strongmind was in his mind.
'There's no way that I'm in love with an angel, an angel who is in the second council nor less' Xzaviar thought as he went to his chambers in his family's main mansion. He collapsed on his bed with his tail wagging in a wired way as he thought of Strongmind again. "So who's the lucky girl that has gotten your tail wagging like that?" his mother's voice startled him, he jumped up with a hiss.
"Mother!" Xzaviar saw that she was fidgeting with his collection of dragons from a book series, "could you put that back, do you have any idea of how delicate they are?" he got up and snatch it from her.
"There's no reason to be so hissy with me" his mother sat on the chair that he had with his desk, "but seriously who is she? you don't wag your tail for nothing".
"Does this family not know how to mind their own business, I'm not telling anyone, anything" Xzaviar hissed louder and his mother just shrugged as she walked out.
"Alright, but you can't hide who this girl is for long" his mother finished then left to her own chambers. His mother is right though, she has a way to find anything one way or another. Like this one time when his sister flashed everyone when she was pissed out drunk at her friends birthday party, no-one remembered but his mother found out somehow. 'I'm so dead when she finds out' he thought laying back down on his bed, 'I'm dead when anyone finds out' he thought but then his mind went back to Strongmind. A deep sigh flooded over him as he turned around with his tail out of control, a fantasy formed once again and he couldn't handle it any longer.
'I can stay here and get plegged by my hole family or go back to work, this should be an easier question' Xzaviar told himself, 'they haven't seen me in a while so no wonder they are so excited to see me early'. Xzaviar got up and grabbed his satchel, he headed to the kitchen and began to fill it with all the essentials: food, water, whisky. "Where are you going?" Alex asked as she appeared out of no-where, "you are not going back to work after a week of being back".
"Well you guys are not leaving me alone so I might as well" Xzaviar closed his work satchel and went to the main room, "I'm going back to work!" he announced.
"What! No! Get back here!" his family all ran to the front door as they yelled out.
"You just got back" his mother had a look to say, 'what the f-ck are you going?'.
"Well Marlo needs me back sooner or later" Xzaviar half explained and left, his family causing an uproar.
Xzaviar went to the palace first, he could get a horse cart to the portal there, he flew to Marlos palece. He stopped at the main courtyard, "hey can you get me a cart to the portal?" Xzaviar asked one of the stable boys at the shed where all of the carts are stored.
"Yes genral Xzaviar" he nodded and got everything ready in less then 10 minutes witch he got empress about. The ride was claiming in a sence, it was quiet and peaceful.
"We're here, do you want me to wait for you?" the driver asked with a deep tone of respect.
"No, I won't be back until months, or when ever Marlo sends me back" Xzaviar got out and jumped into the portal, the ahify from comfortable boilling to a harsh freezing.
Once he got up into the air his mind raced and spiraled, 'do I want to return to camp? Strongmind would be in the heavens, no they would kill me or imprison me' more thought raced. The flight was long and his mind didn't forgive him, once the egg was visited, he stopped. 'I have a choice don't I? I don't want to return to camp, I want Strongmind' Xzaviar admitted to himself as he turned towards where he saw Strongmind went. He flew fast and he could feel a relief as he got further to where Strongmind went, 'where is the hevens?' Xzaviar asked as he looked around but then stopped as he landed to think. 'Would it be a portal like the underground?' Xzaviar looked around and saw the field hebwas in was beaming with life but then he flet something stab his neck and he ripped out a tranquilizer dart. "Oh sh-t!" he colapsted and passed out.
"So when will he wake?" Inshals voice asked in a very soft tone of voice.
"Soon" an even softer voice answered her concerns, "if not then I might have to shock him".
"No, no" Xzaviar tried to sit up but clearly couldn't, "what the f-ck?" he blinked as the light was dark too bright.
"Language" the other voice corrected, "he should be fine". Xzaviar spent what felt like the next 5 minutes trying to wake up.
"Inshal?" Xzaviar called out as his eyes adjusted to the bright light.
"Yeah? you awake?" she asked with a strangely soft voice.
"What's up with your voice?" he asked as he could see a recovery room with a very glittery wings.
"Nothing" Inshal flicked her tail and he only know realised how soft her tail actually is.
"Where am I?" Xzaviar asked looking around, "the hevens?" he guessed.
"Yep" Inshal nodded, "what are you doing around here? as far as I'm aware you were at a early vacation because reasons".
"I got fed up of my family trying to figure out what kind of battle I was in to get an early vacation and other reasons" he half confessed.
"Please don't tell me he likes you to" the other angel begged with a rather pissed look for an angel.
"No he's gay" Inshal reinsured as they cuddled up together.
"Are you two a couple?" Xzaviar asked remembering Inshal mentioning a vampire or something like that.
"Yes" the glittery angel answered with a very defensive look, 'and here I thought that Inshal would be the defensive one' he joked inside of his head.
"So this is the demon who caught you red handed and began to work with us?" she asked Inshal ans she nodded moving her wing to snuggle to her. If Xzaviar didn't know that Inshal hasn't had a crush thing with a vampire he would guess that they are the best couple he has ever seen.
"So who are you?" Xzaviar asked after a while of quietness.
"Silva, you?" Silva asked with the most friendliest voice he has ever heard in his like.
"Xzaviar, so did your gards drag me in through a portal in the sky or something?" he asked genuinely curious about how he got here.
"Is he serious?" Silva asked Inshal who had her eyes crossed in a way to say 'you serious?'.
"I believe so, do you really think that there is a portal here?" Inshal asked with a concerned voice.
"Yes, I thought it wouldn't be so different from the underworld" Xzaviar shrugged and sat up straight. Inshal just gave a look then shook her head.
"No it's literally an open hole in the clouds" Inshal twitched her tail a little but Silva's halo glowed and she relaxed with a pur. Xzaviar felt any ache leave and his hole body felt like it was soaking in lava.
"What is that?" Xzaviar swished his tail smoothly, "that it good".
"I'm gonna stop as I think he's high on it" Silva fidgeted with her wings and snuggled up to Inshal with a strange expression.
"I'm not high, I just haven't felt that relaxed in years" Xzaviar explained frowning.
It was quite for a while, they just read books and chilled for what felt like an eternity. After hours an angel who doesn't have a form and his wings are grey tinted came in and gave Xzaviar a very harsh look. "What did I do?" Xzaviar asked instinctively sitting up straighter.
"Nothing, I hope" he answered with a voice he swears he has heard before but it was a lot softer then he rembers.
"So what's with that look?" Xzaviar asked a little shakened, "I only get that look if I've done something wrong".
"Ain't you supposed to be Marlo's best genral?" the angel asked with a rather dissaprovle look.
"No that's Darkin I'm just one role behind him" Xzaviar could feel his voice a little shaky and he could feel something stab his heart.
"You ok? you don't look so good" he asked and his halo glowed, Xzaviar felt that uncomfortable feeling leave him and he relaxed.
"Thanks... your name is?" Xzaviar asked and he narrowed his eyes.
"Newlaw, you really didn't know?" Newlaw seemed to be hissing very quietly, Xzaviar could feel like he's seen this before but he couldn't place it.
"I do now, your the leader of the second council" Xzaviar felt his eyes widen and he could see Newlaw have a rather pleased look.
"So I don't want you getting hurt or any panic in the heavens so you are not allowed to leave the court house" Newlaw ordered and left.
"Hey do you recognise him from somewhere?" Xzaviar asked Inshal after he left.
"No, he's basically a one of a kind" Inshal tilted her head in confusion.
