Chapter 58 - Where to stand

Newlaw finally made his way down, a dissaprovle look when he saw Discord and her soldiers. "I thought I said to see if you know them not to capture them" Newlaw looked over at Inshal and Xzaviar.

"The other kingdom recognised me and they went to investigate the commotion, it wasn't exactly our fault" Xzaviar explained the situation, "I mean we could let them go but then they would have information since Ethens was away".

"You have a point" Newlaw nodded and he ordered for them to be sent to the jail. "There are more outside of the main field, Xzaviar and Inshal I want you two to see if you know them and please don't get caught" he ordered and Athens went back to his post. It was her Xzaviar and Strongmind walked in silence to see if they can find any more demon patrols.

They treaded through the forest until they heard an arrow shoot and it landed on her shoulder. 'Well this looks like deja vu' Inshal thought before the pain hit, she screeched and dashed. Not only does she have a fresh wound on her leg but now on her shoulder, she flew before she couldn't. Inshal colapst and before she passed out a blade lifted her head, with all the fuzz and pain she had a feeling in her gut that she needs to smile. A very fuzzy image of Marlo smiling back was the last thing she could remember before truly passing out. Inshal awoke in a very warm and soft bed, her vision adjusted to the dim light and she saw the bed stand with two crown holders. Hers and Marlos missing. 'I guess I'm back in the underworld' Inshal flicked her tail but cried a little to the ach. Her body didn't feel good but she was able to slowly get up to see a wrap on her led and shoulder.

It took hours before she could stand without too much pain, she put the crown on as it felt like it helped and she couldn't deny the feeling of power she has with it. Inshal stumbled down the narrow hallways and eventually found the throne room. Marlo was not on his throne but sitting on a large table with a lot of powerful looking demons. His eyes widened with joy when he saw her, "Inshal you're awake!" he dashed to her side and helped her to a seat next to his. Rather gental looks from demons greeted her, 'why is this extremely similar to Newlaws court?' Inshal asked herself. The spiky, dark crown that sat snug on her head allowed her keep her head balanced with all the concerns and fears that were almost screamed at Marlo. "I know that that we are yet to find the right power to awaken the egg but we are in no rush!" Marlo explained multiple times and the way they ignored him got to her head.

Inshal flicked her tail and Darkin walked in, he sat next to her, having to kick a demon of their chair to. "Welcome back home" Darkin had a concern look for her health in his voice.

"Thanks" Inshal twitched her wings to a more comfortable position and allowed them to flop on the floor.

"Right we will continue tomorrow but for now we all need some rest" Marlo dismissed everyone and they all left with a huff.

"So what did I miss?" Inshal asked, her ears more curious then what they need to be.

"My kingdom not actually licensing to me and telling me the same thing again and again" Marlo sighed, "but how did you escape? why were the elfs involved?" he moved her chin up and looked deep into her eyes.

"I appreciate the concern but please I'm still in pain" Inshal pushed him of.

"I saw how deep that scare actually goes, it's gone isn't it?" Marlo asked and for the first time it hurt.

Inshal never really cared as it was barly a week and not old enough to be considered life but now... that could've been her child. But is gone before it was able to grow a heart. A tear fell and she had her ears droop, Marlo hugged her in close. "What did they do?" he asked sounding as if he could go into tears too. Inshal silently cried, she didn't know how to feel, the pain of the situation was gone but she wasn't feeling good and the hug was making it worse.

"I don't know, really" Inshal shifted her wings and she wanted nothing more then to be in her own house in the hevens, this was far too hot.

"It's ok, I got you" Marlo guided her back to their room, she laied on the bed begging for the pain to leave. "I had Angily treat you, she did the best she could" Marlo informed and Inshal just nodded, feeling as if she was having period cramps.

"Did you see what attacked you? one of those vampires that said they know you, she said that the blood was extremely hybrid or something" Marlo asked and Inshal shook her head.

"Can I have pain relief?" Inshal asked and Marlo kissed her leaving to get some. He returned shortly with a bottle.

"She said that the pain should leave for good in about an hour" Marlo said, pushing her into a cuddle as she took the medication. "You're safe now Inshal, I won't allow anything like that to happen again" he promised and lat her halo. Inshal has accepted that she needs to play the role again and smiled at him.

"Want to do that thing where you nible my halo?" Inshal turned around and nuzzled into his chest.

"Feeling better?" Marlo joked, his thang like teeth gently nibble the rim of her halo.

"I guess so" Inshal could feel a big weight lift of her shoulders. They snuggled in the bed and Inshal felt a stab of guilt again, 'I can't do thisbto Silva' she told her self but her heart told her that she can't do this to FunPup. Marlo moved his hands up her soft sides, his arm diping with her curves. Inshal felt the tension and gave Marlo a look, it wasn't flirty nor angry just... to say no. "Alright Inshal I get it, you don't want to have sex" Marlo moved so that he could breath and Inshal gently put her crown on the stand and Marlo did as well. "So what did they do to you?" Marlo asked and Inshal shrugged, 'so what did they do? keep me imprisoned? threatened me to give them info?' Inshal thought and picked one.

"They urr..." Inshal flicked her tail.

"Did they capture Xzaviar to? his family said that that he left to return to work early but he never showed" Marlo asked hissing silently. 'Xzaviar has chosen his side, I should tell them the truth on this one' Inshal thought and she shook her head.

"No, he joined them" Marlo gave her a look when Inshal spoke, "I saw him constantly flirting with one of the angels in the second council" she informed.

"So we have a traitor" Marlo growled, "I should've known when he didn't act like a demon the last time I saw him".

"I honestly have never seen him soo happy" Inshal continued, none of that was a lie, it was all true as Xzaviar hasn't stopped smiling when we join them.

"I don't remember much to be honest" Inshal lied and Marlo sighed, fiddling with her horns.

"I do wonder why your horns are so... not demonic but have the most powerful power" Marlo spoke calmly and kissed her neck.

"I don't know" Inshal felt that security again and it was stronger this time. Marlo moved his hand up her side and Inshal flinched.

"I'm sorry, you're hurting" Marlo held her chin and he smiled with pure happiness and glee.

"I'll be fine" Inshal promised, "so what did I miss exactly?" Inshal asked and he sighed.

"Another kingdom found out, well knows that we are up to something, but they won't licen when I say that I'm taking care of them" Marlo massraged her shoulders very gently and she relaxed into him.

"I'm pretty sure I saw demons that look nothing like Dohan demons attack Xzaviar and other angels" Inshal informed and he smiled.

"Well looks like karma got to him" Marlo began to laugh, "he was an idiot as a teenager that's for sure".

"Do you know who they are?" Inshal asked as she can recall on of the gentals recognising Xzaviar.

"I'm guessing it's Constons, but more likely they ran into Kumano" Marli began to explain, "he and Xzaviar were very, well let's just say sweet on each other, they didn't bother to hide their relationship and it ended because me and the other king didn't like that were together" Marlo had spite in his voice when he spoke of the other king.

"Who is the other king?" Inshal asked tilting her head, making it obvious that she's confused on why he hated him.

"Cosertove, he is a f-cking idiot who not only got half my army killed but almost all of his because he wanted to check out an old ruin that I clearly said would colapst but he didn't licen and payed the price. Half of my army dies to the f-cking earth quakes and rock slides and his, well we didn't take that instedent kindly" he flicked his tail and hissed to himself.

"I see then, so you had an alince with his kingdom?" Inshal asked and he nodded but clearly regrets that decision.

"He needed help and I craved riches, it was a fair deal until he f-cked up the way he did" Marlo massarged her wings and they snuggled up to each other.
