It has been 7 months since Aatrox has awakened.
A lot has happened in the Shadow Clan in these 7 months. First of all once Aatrox's health and condition were checked by a professional, the family announced the successful awakening of Aatrox to the people. To say the people were happy would be insulting, they were overjoyed, that their prince had finally awakened. The family was loved by their people, as they were like the Gremory Clan, always helping their people, making their lives better. It was one of the reasons that the people were ready to fight even the satans.
After the announcement, the clan had a celebration party for 7 days and 7 nights, where the whole celebration cost was paid for by the De Vils, from food made by the best chefs of the world to the drinks that ranged from juices to wines, everything was brought for the people. The people of the clan were ecstatic.
After the week of celebrating, the family left the underworld discreetly and went for a world tour. Just Skygge, Adeline, Aatrox, and their trusty maid, Grayfia. All of them packed their bags and went on the world tour to enjoy their time with Aatrox and show him the world. They explored every famous city and ate every famous food, money wasn't an issue for a clan that monopolized the information hub of the underworld and had strings of multi-billion dollar hotels and restaurants all over the world. The family enjoyed their time with each other and had a lot of adventures.
Now the family was back home and it was time to train Aatrox. Since he had spent the better part of his life in bed, his physical abilities were incredibly weak, on par with baby devils. Also since he went into the coma the day after he awakened his powers, he didn't have any experience in using them, far from experience he didn't even have any control over them. Many of the noble clan's children would probably insult him behind his back about his weaknesses, but then they would start writhing in jealousy if they ever hear the quantity of his demonic power.
Aatrox's demonic power was enough to put him on par with super devils like Satan Lucifer and Satan Beelzebub. And his light powers were immense putting him on par with the Four Great Seraphs. Aatrox is an existence that breaks the very reality of the world. He is the only existence in the world and its history to have both the powers of angels and devils, the power of light and darkness, the power of holy and demonic. He is the one and only impossibility in the world of infinite possibilities.
But it's all bullcrap. What is the point of immense power if you don't have control over it?
'Phenomenal cosmic powers… itty bitty living space.' – Genie.
The famous quote from Aladdin summarizes the situation of Aatrox. (And yes Disney exists in this AU of DxD.)
And Aatrox knew that. He was not like the spoiled noble devil children (the young masters), he was a talented person, with a will to work hard and improve. So rather than being content with his 'fickle' immense powers, which made him a walking talking Nuclear Bomb, he decided to have 'absolute' immense powers. And the only way he knew to do that was to train, Goku style, as he had seen how much that alien trains, and yes he had started to watch anime.
So here we are. After 6 months of family time and fun. It was now time to become strong because without strength you are nothing in this supernatural world.
***
Currently, Aatrox was in the forest that is around his home. He was currently warming up his body to go through the intense physical training that he has been doing since last month and watching his every move was our beloved silver maid, Grayfia. She was his maid and guard, always by his side to ensure that he is safe. Although the territory of Shadow Clan is one of the safest in Underworld, Aatrox still has one of the three strongest female devils protecting him.
"Grayfia, do you really have to follow me everywhere? I am not even that far from home, you know?" Aatrox said tiredly to the silver beauty who keeps on following him no matter where he goes.
She even follows him into the bath, and as a devil, he shouldn't have any issues with that but with the years he has spent alone it's now weird for him to be watched constantly and he is also kind of a pseudo-adult, better maturity than kids his age but still childish in his behavior. And today was especially shocking, as he had tried to sneak away from Grayfia to take a bath alone, emphasis on 'tried', but only to find her washing his back, he was so surprised that he screamed like a kid in a haunted house.
"It's a maid's duty to always be ready to serve their master at a moment's notice. I am just doing my job."
"It's a maid's duty to always be ready to serve their master at a moment's notice. I am just doing my job."
Grayfia said while Aatrox mimicked her with the same facial expression and tone. Causing Aatrox to laugh by himself while Grayfia looked at him with a confused face.
"I know, I know. But still, you can use the time spent watching me and relax instead, you know. You are always working, you deserve some rest." Aatrox said after finishing his warm-up and looking toward Grayfia with a dazzling smile.
"… But I like watching you." Grayfia said unconsciously in a soft tone, being dazzled by Aatrox's smile.
"I know you do, my sweet Grayfia." Aatrox said with a small smile and mischievous eyes, standing so close to Grayfia, while using his wings to levitate, at the level that they might have kissed if they were any closer, with their breath being felt by the other.
This caused Grayfia to snap out of her trance, only to see the beautiful eyes of her master. She blushed when she felt the closeness of her master and his soft breath.
This was the opportunity Aatrox had been waiting for, he used this moment to kiss Grayfia's forehead and run away while Grayfia's brain crashed.
"See you later, Grayfia." Aatrox said while running at his full speed into the forest to begin his run. Leaving only a silver maid, who was in a trance touching her forehead with a blush on her cheeks.
