One hundred years ago.
[Crystal palace,Heaven].
~~~
The voices.
He could hear the distant voices,as he tried to keep his eyes open,but failed miserably at doing that because of the blinding lights.
Damon could make out one voice out of the whispers, that he would recognize without any difficulties and that was his father's voice.
He was talking…no in a deep heated argument with someone,the thoughts of that had him forcing his eyes open to see who exactly had made him angry.
The moment he saw them,he remembered it all.The memories came flashing before his very eyes,and he felt his heart compressed to the point that he had some difficulty breathing.
So he tried to touch his heart,but it was impossible to raise his hands,and that's when he noticed the bonds that were on him.Seriously?
It was starting to get on his nerves that they were treating him like this,like some sort of criminal when he had done nothing wrong.
His eyes snapped open wide when he remembered Micheal and the little child,but he didn't see any sign of him nor the baby in the hall where he was facing the twelve elders,his grandfather who had a more scary look on his face that had Azriel hide against their father's back.
His eyes scanned the entire face of everyone present in the hall,and did he forget to mention the nonchalant look on the face of his elder brothers.
They were present too,it sure was like they all came prepared to watch their grandfather punish him for what he had done.
A satisfied smirk was laying right on Abaddon's face,he was the eldest among the five of them and was literally in competition with him on who would rule hell after their father.
So it wasn't a surprise that he might be wishing for nothing, but his death right now.But would they be willing to do that?
Would his father watch him die?
Of course not,he couldn't even look him in the face right now, and had kept his look only on the paper the scribe held while waiting for the lord to speak up.
Azriel was just the same as their father,he was pretending that he wasn't bothered about what would go down in the next few hours.
But the truth be told,was that his heartbeat was the loudest one among everyone that was here,he was scared and angry at himself for what he had done.
But that doesn't sit right with Damon,he betrayed his trust in him, likewise his father too who couldn't even look him in the eyes after what he did.
He was in this shit because of him,he wanted that child alive and had ordered him to bring her to him.
Unfortunately,things had gone down and he had abandoned him just like their mother had done,when she couldn't bear with what he was.
He knew he had a deep disgust for humans,he knew! Yet,he had sent him on that suicide mission,which had ended up with him binding his soul with that human child.
The whispers among themselves goes down the moment his grandfather rose up from his throne while taking steps towards him before stopping in front of him.
"Why did you do it?"He asked,in a calm voice that made Damon suddenly burst out into laughter,there was nothing calm and merciful about him.
Why the act?
If he could remember vividly,he had locked him up in the halls of the fallen on his twentieth birthday,when the Seer had received another prophecy that had put him on his bad side.
So why was he speaking to him,as if he was talking to his precious sons?
"He's so disrespectful!"
"How could he commit such an abomination with that cursed thing?"
"What were you expecting ? He's Lucifer son after all"
The last statement from the overzealous elders had him grinning more,when he saw his father's knuckle tightly clenched in anger.
"Do you think this is a joke?''Raphael sounded harsh, walking up to grip his collar all ready to beat the hell out of him, for disgracing their king in Front of the council of elders.
"Where's she?''He ignored his uncle,but rather faced his grandfather who arched his brow at his audacity.
"What exactly have you done to her you bloody murderer?!!"He shouted at him without any fear of having his life taken away from him,in a blink of an eye.
He just didn't care,all he wanted to know this instant was what he had done with the child.He could kiss his ass for all he cared.
"How dare you?"Raphael's hand was raised up in anger,all ready to strike him but the Highlord stopped him,so he retracted back.
"I should have known that you will end up being nothing but a pest"His grandfather,Celio muttered,deep hatred for this being i n Front of him could be seen in his eyes.
"A wager that would bring peace?"He scoffed,when he recalled the prophecy about him,Seth was wrong about him.
He's a demon.
There's nothing he could offer just like his pathetic father if not destruction,and Chaos upon every living creature they set eyes on.
"I should have killed you the very moment you were born, but you will pay either way for what you have done,you filthy filth!"He promised, looking at Damon who had nothing but a smug look on his face.
His grandfather moved away from him, gesturing for the scribe to walk to the center to announce his punishment.
After this,he would have a second thought about binding his soul with a Human,talkmore of a cursed one at that.
"After further deliberations on what to do with the cursed prince,who had committed a huge crime by binding his soul with a human and siding with a traitor to the immortal realm,the circle had come to a final decision on what his punishment would be…"
There was a long pause,which had everyone in tension.Azriel was holding his father's arms in fear of what his brother's punishment would be.
He couldn't stop blaming himself.He should have let him run away with the child rather than facing this?
It was too hard to watch this,while his father's faze was right upon the book of condemnation the scribe was holding.
Damon watched.
He took in everyone's face,and their reaction to all of this.His brother, Abbadon, Camiel and Melchom was anticipating the verdict.
They all wanted him dead, everyone!
He didn't look at his twin brother and father this time around,so he rather fixed his gaze back at the scribe who took a look at him before swallowing a lump down his throat.
Whatever he was trying to say wouldn't sound favorable to him,but he was prepared for whatever punishment they would give him.
He will gladly take it,but he didn't regret his actions at all.Binding his soul with a human,especially that child tipped everyone off,and had summoned the great circle,twelve elders and his grandfather for someone like him
That only meant one thing,The little girl is a very big threat to every immortal right here,and he couldn't help but feel glad about that.
"Damon Morningstar is hereby sentenced to the cave of silence for a hundred years.."
"Noo!"Azriel cried, trying to walk up to their grandfather to beg,but their father drew him back.
"He's never to be released nor have any visitor during this time, failure to abide by the rules would attract an additional hundred years upon his punishment,as it is ordered by the highlords"
The verdict was over, Azriel couldn't keep it in and ran up to his brother while muttering apologies to him, but he was stopped by the angels from touching him.
"Why would you apologize?"Damon asked, irritated by his fake tears.What was he expecting?
"I'm sorry ,I'm really sor.ry"
"That's enough Azriel"Abaddon came through for him,while pulling him away from touching Damon.
He smirked evilly at his brother,before taking Azriel out of here,Their grandfather detest crying a lot,and he was being a baby when he's nothing but a powerful warlock.
Even after what was said, Lucifer refused to even steal a glance at his son who was going to pay for his crimes.
"Take him out of here!"the Highlord ordered,as two angels brought him up to a standing position.
"This is what you wanted right?"He shouted at his father,who still refused to look at him as he was being dragged away.
"I will make everyone pay,I will make all of you regret today! That's a promise!"
He yelled at him, watching as he still kept a cold face which he was dragged away to serve his time in the cave that was in the human world,the very place and people he hated the most.
Damon was livid,he had gone mad and couldn't wait for this to be over,so that he would release his wrath on everyone that did this to him and his mate.
His family.
He will kill them all, everyone starting with his father! That's a promise.
