Chapter 3 - The Blood Trails

Sebastian walked next to Azriel for a while trying to find the words to ask Azriel, " what the hell just happened back there?, How did your voice change like that?, and who was that guy trying to kill me?". Azriel chuckling under his breath, " Like I told you before Sebastian you're the fallen demon king I myself am a demon hence the voice change and that back there was Argus he's one of the three angel guardians he was trying to take you to the pearly gates which is against the contract" Azriel chuckles more, " if he would have done that not only would you be crispy demon but he would've been crucified the minute he stepped in the gates you see angels go to heaven for judgement and demon go to hell there will be determined if they serve, get crucified or get sent to the Void".

Sebastian still processing everything that just happened and what he was told, "well I guess it could be worse but why are my so called powers acting up if I'm a fallen king?". Azriel laughing at Sebastian, " Hey what the hell are you laughing at?!?". Azriel still laughing, "After everything I've told you, you still don't understand". Azriel wipes a tear from is face and takes a deep breath, "Yes you are a the fallen king but you have no memory until we came along you didn't even know that you were a demon what makes you think you would have controll of your powers Seb?". Sebastian still a little confused and processing information he nods to Azriel," Alright so where do we go from here?". Modark growls at the question," we're taking you back to hell for all the shit you decided to pull back then if it weren't for you we would be in this situation!". Azriel puts his hand on Modark shoulder, Modark glances at Azriel and groans," even so it is good to see you my fallen king".

Moving forward the demons hear fighting and screaming in the distance," well well here's a chance to test your control Seb we've got some rogue demons harassing the living, well whatever left of the living" says Azriel as he reveals his glowing blade from his hip. Azriel walks towards the demons, " Hey dickheads! Why don't you try fighting me it'll be fun for the both of us" says Azriel with a devilish grin and draws his blade, the purple aura glowing brighter waiting to taste demon flesh. Azriel mumbles under his breath, " come on fuckers let's see what you got".

The rogue demons charge at Azriel with obvious intent to kill, Azriel removes his shades as his eyes glow bright red with anger and dashes towards the demons slashing and mutilating each one swiftly. Azriel begins to chuckle and the still moving dismembered demon bodies, "I almost thought you'd be better guess I was wrong maybe next time you won't be so eager to charge at something that could kill you with your little to no experience again". Putting his shades back on his face Azriel strolls back over to Sebastian and Modark, " and that is control of your abilities my friend don't worry you'll get there someday the both of you" Azriel said jokingly. Modark growled and yells, " fuck you Azriel I have control over my abilities you useless excuse for a demon!". Azriel turns around to look at Modark and grins, " if you say so my friend but anger and hostility will get you nowhere in life". The demons continue wandering on when Sebastian stops for a moment. Azriel approaches Sebastian, " you doing alright? I know it's a lot to process when you're just finding out who and what you are". Sebastian looks at Azriel for a moment, " what kind of demon are you exactly?". Azriel looks in shock and grins," well technically I'm a demon of death and perception I use to condem souls in hell to death erasing them from existence but my more how should i say amusing abilities are I can paralyze and show you images and hallucinations however and whenever I see fit in this case I use it for more interogating purposes if you understand what I mean". Sebastian raises his brow trying to understand what was said, " so in other words you make people have a bad trip to get a confession?" Azriel rubs his chin and chuckles, "well when you put it that way it does sound as fun my you are indeed a mood killer".

As the demons continue their travels they make there way out the desert like location, "finally we're out of that fucking wasteland. " Said Modark with a growl. Azriel smiles, " And yet here I was thinking you were beginning to like it there how wrong of me to think so" Azriel begins chuckling under his breath. Modark becomes furious, " Fuck you Azriel you're not funny!". Azriel quickly turns around and approaches Modark with a slight smile, "There there my friend I apologize it's been a rough day for all of us let's find a place to rest for the night then shall we. " Modark nods and continues to walk by Azriel, " so Azriel I have to know will I be able to learn how to use my powers again?" Said Sebastian still trying to grasp the idea of being a demon, " in time my friend but yes do think I'm going to do all the work myself traveling back to hell no sir but keep in mind on why we're going back Seb. " Sebastian nods at Azriels response and the continue on there journey to find a place to rest.

The demons arrive at motel, " I hope you brought money with you Az unless we're doing another B and E" says Modark with a slight grin, "as a matter fact I did took a few bills off that poker table back at the bar in case we needed it good thing to I'd hate to be a rude guest" says Azriel with a smile. Modark grunts a bit and mumbles under his breath, "who's the buzz kill now?". Sebastian nominates himself to secure the rooms needed and meets back with Azriel and Modark, " alright the rooms are taken care of let's go rest up I'm sure tomorrow is going to be an even longer day" says Sebastian with a grin. The demons go to the rooms and lie down for a nice well deserved slumber until sunrise. Not long after a loud bang awakens Sebastian from his sleep forcing him out of bed and walks to the window to investigate the noise. Seconds later his door blows up open and an angel walks in with a mystical looking crossbow, "well well looks like I found you time to exercise this demon" Sebastian begins to have a flashback of a unknown memory the angel is the second in command and his name is Artemis. Sebastian comes to and tackles Artemis before he could get a shot off from his crossbow. Him and Sebastian scuffle on the ground for a bit until Azriel throws Artemis off of Sebastian. Azriels eyes glow red with anger, "I thought I told you fuck rags to stay away you're not the ones to bring him judgement I won't say it again stay away Artemis or your little angel king will find you dismembered by yours truly. " Artemis smirks at Azriel, "your hollow threat don't work on me you wouldn't dare touch me not if your life depended on it you worthless imp. " Azriel grins and draws his katana, "try me you son of a whore". Artemis retreats from what would've been his demise, " this isn't over Azriel know that much, until we meet again. " Azriel chuckles and yawns "alright children back to bed. " Azriel assists Sebastian to his feet and walks back to his room. Sebastian understanding what Artemis said was true that this isn't over until he is dead. Sebastian walks back to his room and lies back down to once again drift off to sleep.
