Peeping Through Open Key Holes

Devonah bent over as she whelped in pain, "Aahhh! Stop you incompetent fool....S..S..STOP! Aggh! She was now on the floor as she curled into a fetal position. She clenched her teeth as it became over whelming for her to talk any longer, and her body began to quiver from the pain. Astar only looked down at her as his eyes hardened with no remorse for Devonah he then looked up, and then touched his chest from where Valafar placed his hand; he closed his eyes as he took in a deep breath as he slightly smirked as he thought about what took place a few hours before. He then opened his eyes as his wings flailed open like a bird about to take flight, and with a few swift strides of his feet, and legs he went into a run, and then took to the air. A small stream of a tear slipped from his eye as it flew backwards off his face as he flew back home, but he was quick to control his emotion before he reached the fortress. Astar wasn't willing to answer a million questions on why he was acting soft so he wiped his fur dry as he landed upon his window seal; he then jumped down into his room and slowly flopped down on his back onto his bed. He then blankly stared at the ceiling not wanting to bother going to his father to tell him of his return home. His dark wings still exposed draped over his bed to the floor; the scent of Valafar still lingered on his fur which put his hormones in overdrive. Dirty thoughts then filled his mind once more as he unconsciously rubbed his chest and abs. He then quickly snapped out of it as he sat up on his bed, and then realized that he would have to take a shower before confronting his father. Astar then got to his feet and made his way to the bathing room he then grabbed a towel as he walked towards the wall that had the shower head attached to it. Astar then warmed the water as he stood underneath it and wet himself down; he leaned against the wall as the dirty thoughts returned once more. He then began touching himself, but this time he didn't stop as he traced his hand down his body and then firmly grasped his penis as he began stroking himself as he thought of Valafar right there with him. He leaned his head back into the water as it trickled down the back, and sides of his face only to stop, and drip down off his fur and only to continue down his muscular chest. His cock began to bulge from his vigorous hand gestures, and Astar then began to make an oh face as he started to climax. His body then released cum from his cock as it propelled from his dick lips and across the room; only to hit the wall. Astaroth then let out a quiet howl of pleasure as he let go of his cock and then closed his eyes; after a moment he then washed up, and then got out. Astar dried off quickly as the scent that was stained on his fur was no longer there, afterwards he had his back swallow his wings as if they never existed. He then took in a deep breath as he knew that he couldn't hide from his father no more; he then opened the door to his room, and then made his way out to the hall. It didn't take his father, Haures to find him, "Where have you been Astaroth...I give you a list of things to do and this is how you show me respect by throwing it away, and running off doing as you please?" He had fire in his eyes as Haures looked into his alabaster blue eyes. Haures then raised his hand back as he back handed his son on the face as his harsh words followed, "You brought this on yourself...how are you going to ever learn if you can't take on responsibility...don't you ever run off again or I will give you a beating that you will never forget!" Haures snarled as he showed his teeth to Astar.
Astaroth's mouth bled from his father's slap to the face; anger grew within him as he gave him a cold blank stare. His ears laid flat on the back of his head as he knew he couldn't fight back since he didn't know his own power. The thought of leaving this place only gave him hope that he could escape his duties, and only made him want to find the tenth realm all the more, "I'm sorry that I disappointed you father it won't happen again." He then turned and walked back to his room as he sulked wishing he knew what he was capable of. Devonah then appeared back at the fortress as she bowed at Haures's feet, "I'm sorry for being late my master but it seems I ran into a little bit of trouble from a strange demon who didn't feel of this realm." Haures bellowed out a laugh as he mocked her, "You stupid girl there is no possible way that any demon could have traveled from another realm...they are well guarded. Plus all demon's know that they will be severely punished if they cross gate ways...so enough of this nonsense understand!" His face hardened as he became serious. "Yes master sorry to have upset you...I will return home now if that is okay with you?" Haures waved his hand as he dismissed her. He then turned as he mumbled to himself, "Youth these days...what has gotten into their rotten minds you would have thought that I raised an idiot." Astar could then hear the familiar sound of the throne room doors slamming shut as he knew his father had returned to his chambers, "I'm no idiot that is for sure..you will see some day father and then you will be kissing my feet and begging for my mercy." His eyes furrowed as he then rubbed his cheek from where he'd been hit. "I wonder where Lillit is I figured she would have followed behind me shortly...she has been a little mouthy today any ways I guess it's a good thing she didn't follow...I'm not really in the mood for her company." He then laid on his side as he stretched across the bed and grew silent.
 
Lilit laughed at Devonah's pain even though she was not sure why she was in agony as she peered out from the room down the long hall. Keeping her distance she waited for Devonah to recover which didn't seem to take long since Valafar grew bored of torturing her. "Out of my sights you worthless piece of shit and to let you know I'm not incompetent it seems to be the other way around since you have no idea who you are dealing with." He waited for no response as he didn't care to what she might retort back but nothing came from her lips as he watched her fly off in a hurry being more worried about being late for some occasion. Once she had disappeared from his sights he turned his back looking over his shoulder only once before consecrating his powers on tearing a rift in the dimension's fabric. Lilit grew curious that she never seen Valafar leave the room so she began stealthily move towards the doors entrance and upon her arrival she turned her head around the corner only to see him vanish through a temporary portal that faded after he slipped past. Her jaw dropped as she knew that no one was capable of what she had just seen, "He...he just made a gateway...b-but that's impossible!" Shaking her head she decided it was best to return back home before her own father Ronwe questioned her disappearance but she couldn't shake the thought of Valafar's little stunt.
The rift lead Valafar back into the open grounds of the courtyard and upon his arrival he could feel an ominous feeling cascade over his senses that told him that his father Ornias was waiting with revenge. Despite what his instincts were telling him he proceeded to enter the palace's doors where he unexpectedly ran into Ornias's trap as his father had been standing to the right of the entrance while Valafar unwarily passe him by. His eye's widened at the feel of Ornias brace the base of his wings and he prepared for the worst as they were wrenched from their sockets before the bones were thrust upwards into his flesh. Falling to his knees he wailed out in a roar but something in him snapped and his father's words become muffled in his ears as his vision blurred, "Yo...mus...b...stup.........." No longer focusing on the hateful slanders Valafar let out a roar in rage at the new feel of power surging through his body and with in a second he had Ornias by the throat ready to murder the Duke of Scelus, "I've had enough of..." He speech stopped in mid sentence and he could hear his father still mock him, "What's wrong Valafar can't even kill me your pathetic." The room then went black and the last thing he saw was Ornias grinning at him. It seemed like eternity had passed in his hour of rest before he woke to a cold chilled air and his body rustled as he forced himself to open his eyes. Sitting up slowly he swiftly knew that he was no longer in Scelus at the change of the atmosphere as he sat on the ashes of a stale dank realm he knew well, Acerbus. Corpses lined the ground with there flesh and bone while others seemed to be draped in trees. The sky dull like a cloudy day in the vast dimension seemed to go on forever with a fortress dressing the horizon off in the distance it which appeared like a few days journey. The place looked in ruin as if it had only been yesterday that it's ruler had fallen and slowly rising to his feet he viewed his surroundings. It hadn't been the first time he had been here although it was a different place that he had appeared but never close enough to the fortress that he so desired to snoop about in, "I'm dreaming again...I think...but something is different." He had never been able to feel or smell anything before and the snitch was awful as it reeked of aged rotting cadavers. Valafar walked forth not even bothering to try and make his journey to the castle as it always seemed to be frivolous since he always woke before ever making his destination. He paused in his motions as he knelt down taking notice of a fresh demon corpse drying out in the stale air and then got the sensation that he was being watched, "How did you manage to find this place when I still don't even know how to get past it's gates....more importantly what killed you." It was a sign of hope that there was a path to Acerbus but was a little unnerved that this demon was dead. He searched about with his pale eye which made him aware that not all of these corpses were without life but before being able to investigate any further he was tore from his dream rift by a sheer amount of pain that seemed to skewer his flesh. He awoke to his arms and legs shackled to the cold dungeon floor of his father's castle and the pain he was feeling was Ornias hammering jagged rods through his flesh and out of his back muscles. His expression stayed blank never giving into hollering like he had done only moments earlier and when his father tired of trying to get arise out of him he left him alone to suffer in the dank torture chamber.

Lilit had checked in with her father and when he wasn't paying attention she swifted through the library to find books about the tenth realm as she figured it might get Astar on his good side. She snuck past Ronwe and ran down the corridors thrusting Astar's door wide open before letting it slam behind her as she thought for sure that she had been noticed, "You better not be moping look I thought I would make it up to you since I gave you and your friend a hard time." She had hoped that her ass kissing would get her to open up to him and with a deep breath she dared to ask him about Valafar since she knew that he couldn't possibly from this realm, "Sooo.....Valafar....what realm..is he from?" She waited to see if he would even dare to tell her and she was unsure if she should go to Astar's father about the matter since he might not believe her.
 
Astar really didn't want to look at Lillit as he heard her voice echo throughout his room, his face still throbbed from the blow that Haures gave him earlier. He huffed out a sigh as she continued to talk, "That is great Lillit but I really don't feel like talking right now." He then rolled over and looked at her as one side of his jowl was swollen, and bruise as blood stained his fur. "Really you shouldn't be in here and me telling you about Valafar is not my place...maybe you should ask him next time he comes around though I highly doubt that he will since we are worlds apart." He grimaced as he talked and became frustrated as he couldn't do anything about his swollen face or the pain that stuck like lightening, "Just go away...please I'm not in the mood for any ones company." He then threw the pillow over his face as he was hoping that she would leave. He then muffled out a sentence that was more to himself than it was to her, "I should have never left Vidix...I should have never went through the gateway that lead to his fortress...I should have just done what was asked of me and I would have never gotten a beating from his hand..." His voice grew softer as he continued to think out loud, "I wish I knew how to wield my powers so I wouldn't be such a joke." He then peeked from under his pillow as he snarled out in a questionable voice, "You're still here..." He paused for a moment as he looked at the mysterious book that she was carrying "What are those books you have there in your hands?" He was now a little curious to why she came here.

There was a familiar voice that seemed to interrupt the two as it bellowed out in a familiar tone, "Yes what are those books that you have there little puppy? Are you even supposed to have those or should I let some one know that their books are missing?" Astar then snapped his head in Devonah's direction, "What is it this time Devonah...haven't you had enough fun for one day?" He snarled at her, but she wasted no time to respond, "Wow nice face Astaroth it really brings out the real you...and I happened to be on my way home but then I seen her sneaking around like she didn't belong...which I'm totally right about, and come to find out that you two look like you are up to no good...stop me if I'm wrong." She grinned devilishly as she knew that she caught Lillit in the wrong. Astar finally touched his jowl and healed his face, which seemed to be the only ability that he knew how to do. He then jumped up as his frustration turned into anger, Astar then took long strides and before Devonah knew it he was in her face staring at her with the intention of murder. He then grabbed her by the face with his big palm and then said in a dark tone that Lillit never heard before, "How did it feel when his power surged throughout your body...wasn't enough to know that you shouldn't toy with others because you never know what they are capable of. Like me for instance who is very annoyed and pissed off and right now you look like the perfect target for me to sink my teeth into...do you really want to test my patients Devonah...really come on make my day because I will drink you dry of your contents and then throw your corpse to the guard that sits outside my window." Devonah grew annoyed as she pulled away from his grasp, "Get off me you dick...every one knows that you are weak...I have never seen you once cast any magic of any sorts besides healing a cut or bruise that you would get every now and then. What is it that you are really capable of Astaroth...why don't you show me and your little girlfriend here what it is that makes you so special...well what you waiting for?" She taunted him as she grew into more of a bitch. Astar's anger then started a chain event that he was unaware of as his thoughts then opened, and connected to Valafar. He could now feel what Astar was feeling as if he had a front seat to the events that were taking place. "I don't have to prove any thing to you or any one for that matter...and how dare you talk to me in that manner...last time I knew I was an heir...a duke so you better change your tone and talk to me like I am before I do it for you!" He then shoved her harshly out into the hallway as he slammed his door as he screamed, "Now get out and stay out!" His fur on his back was now standing on end as his breath was heavy, "Damn one day I'm going to kill her and when I do I'm going to enjoy it!" He turned and looked at Lillit once more then plopped on his bed as he put his face in his hands, knowing that she was right but did not dare to say it out loud. He was now stressing that if he didn't figure out his capability that one of these days he would parish.
 
Lilit only stood waiting for him to stop pitying himself as she knew he soon wouldn't be able to resist to know what it was that she had in her arms. Even as his head lay shoved under his pillow she didn't move from her spot, "Well when have I not ever been in your room and I know Valafar isn't from here I watched him surprisingly go through an unmarked rift which that ability doesn't exists in demons so I find it quite strange...." She was silent for a moment as she tried to listen to what he was mumbling and she was surprised to hear that he had left his part of the sector but everything else was muffled, "Yes I am still here and you left Vidix but how did you manage that? Uhh..well...." She was just about to answer Astar until Devonah rudely busted in on them and she snarled at her, "Don't you think one ass kicking is enough but since you asked there about how suck at using your powers...." She would have went on but Astar interrupted her and she didn't mind as she was surprised to see him lose his temper since he rarely did because of his lack of knowledge on his ability usually stopped him from going off the deep end.
Valafar's mind was numb from the pain he was in and the torture he received never seemed to cause him agony instead it seemed to always soothe his rage. The only thing that he had a problem with was being restrained as it made him loose his control that he liked to have so much. His mute thoughts were suddenly interrupted and his alabaster eye flickered in it's socket as he felt everything Astar was feeling from the scent in the room down to his every last memory that he ever held onto and Valafar grinned at the pleasant memory that was revealed to him of Astar masturbating to him in the shower. He decided to hold back on making a snide remark as he was also made aware that Astaroth didn't know his own ability. Even as he watched him slam the door in Devonah's face he wasn't about to let her get away that easily and searching deep within Astar's open thoughts he quickly figured his power out mastering it within moments before manipulating it to his own abilities. With Astar's lowered head Valafar made a black smog expel out from Astaroth's lips taking on a form of a tiny little demon with beady red eyes it bolted away from him slipping through the crack of the door it hunted Devonah down. It didn't take long since she hadn't been off too far and replicating Astar's voice the little mincing smog spoke, "You want proof here it is sweetie." The mist form clasped it's fingers to her face while it began robbing the breath from her little demon soul just enough to let her know where her place was and that was beneath Astar. After making a point the smog vanished from her sights only to return to Astar as it stood glaring at him for a moment before traveling back through his snout while Valafar's thoughts flooded his mind, "Nice...I love how you stroked your cock at the thought of me being in the shower with you and oh you have a amazing ability to bad you don't know how to unlock it. I guess I will have to show you that huh?" He asked as he pretended nothing was ailing him but was more then sure that Astar could see him as much as he could see Astar.
 
Astar looked up at her as he said in a low voice, "It was pure luck Lillit...I didn't even know what I was going to do when I got there, but it seemed that I went at the right time. I was flying over head, and realized that the gate keeper wasn't at his post which I found odd, but I wasn't going on a hunt to look for him. So I found it as an opportunity to go through, and that was an experience in itself." He smiled a little as he let the stress of what happened early slip by and out of his mind, "You know it's hard to be mad when I'm around you...I don't know what it is but you seem to have the capability to cheer me up...is that even allowed around here? Ah ha ha!" He laughed as he looked at her, but then stopped as he seen a dark smog escape his mouth which practically took his breath away when it happened. He began to cough as it zipped out of his muzzle and out the door he then stood up as he was a little freaked out at the anomaly that formed out of no where. He then stood up on his bed as he pointed, "What the fuck was that??" He then was quick to his feet as he jumped off his bed and out the door, "Wait what the fuck are you...I'm gonna piss on you, you bastard!" He then stopped running as he seen the strange smog like creature grab Devonah like a rag doll, and what really surprised him was his voice that escaped it's lips as if he possessed the thing. "What in the hell is going on here..am I loosing my mind?" He whispered to himself as he watched the whole thing unfold. After a few seconds it was then in his face and without fear he stared back at it as he was about to ask a question, but was interrupted as it slipped back into his muzzle in the way it came. Astar then let out a screaming whelp as it he'd been hit as he began to dance around, "HELP I BEEN POSSESSED!!!!" He then stopped as he heard a familiar voice ring in his head, "Valafar? Was that you...what...what was that thing that you put in my mouth?" He then blushed as he heard him talking about what he did in the shower hours before as he scratched his head and blushed as he spoke, "I don't know what you are talking about...get out of my head...now you made me look like a total ass...and what power are you talking about?" He played it off like he didn't know what Valafar was talking about.
Devonah stood up as she grasped her neck and was trying to figure what happened to her; her mind was swimming as she didn't think that Astar had the gull to pull a stunt like that. She then narrowed her eyes as she screamed at him, "I'm telling my father...we will see what he has to say to you and Haures...your such a little bitch Astar...a puppet for your father!" She then ran towards a window as her blueish grey wings spread open, and then disappeared out of sight.
 
Lilit was in dismay that Astar had taken such a risk by entering through another dimension that had not been his own, "Don't you know what happens to demons who cross their thresh hold, they are destroyed!!! Why on earth would you risk such a fate and that higher rank demon...Valafar is a risk to be around. I was sitting right next to him he could have devoured me!!!!" Her eyeballs widen in her sockets as she had nothing but sincerity in her voice but only got an opposite reaction from Astar when he laughed, "It's not funny! Here I was being a bitch to him and he is a nint...uhhhh!" She paused at the strange mist that spewed forth from Astar's lips and the books in her arms dropped to the floor. Lilit's jaw gaped at the little demon smog and her reaction had the same affect as Astaroth's words then shaking her head out of a stupor she answered, "You can say that again!" She nearly dropped to the floor in laughter as she heard her friend taunt the strange demon mist which seemed to bring her out of her shock and she swiftly followed behind him, "And you say I'm the one that makes you laugh but it seems to me that your the only one who likes to take a leek on someone or something!" Astar much further ahead she raced to catch up and she was glad to see him halt which allowed her to slow her pace as she began walking towards him she didn't get to see what had happen to Devonah but she did witness Astar's strange antic. She hadn't even breached the gap between them before she rolled on the floor laughing at his ill behavior. "Your such a dumb ass how on earth can you be possessed?" Her words had barely left her mouth as her laughing made it near impossible to speak.
Valafar had a queer expression consume his face at Astar's naive moment but he couldn't help but smirk at his stupidity, How did that little possessed dance go again I didn't quite get the steps maybe you could be a dance instructor!" He smirked at his sarcastic remark as Astar made him forget about where he was at for the moment, "First off that thing was a slither of your essence I just manipulated it to my will so that I could prove to Devonah that you had an ability so I temporarily borrowed your power. Second off your a terrible liar don't be coy with me I know what I saw and it is your own fault for allowing me in your mind. Once that happens there is nothing I can do to stop your every thought from flooding into mine. As for your ability you obtain the skill that allows you to rob the breath of your enemies which shortens their life but prolongs yours and while I'm at it I was not the one to make you act like a fool, you did that all on your own!" Valafar shook his head as he heard Devonah chime in and he became annoyed by her ignorance as she didn't seem to ever learn from her mistakes, "I promise you that Devonah will one day be your little bitch and she will bow to your every woe."
 
Devonah was quick to fly home as she stormed through her front door of her house. Her father took notice as she made her way down the hall to her room, "I'll show that bastard that I don't play games...if he wants to play hard ball then I will play hard ball!" Her father Thamuz became curious as Devonah continued to raise hell, "Devonah what is the meaning in all this? Why are you in such a ruckus...well explain yourself?" Devonah snapped around as she wasted not one ounce of breath as she blurted out to him, "Astaroth threatened me and choked me with his hands, he said that there was nothing that you could do about it!" Thamuz threw his hands into the air as he yelled, "WHAT! So he thinks huh? We'll see about that! He then turned around in a rage as his bulging belly bounced as he stomped in the direction of his front door, "You come with me my daughter we shall see who will be choked and won't do a damn thing about it!"
After Astar seen her leave he then turned and looked at his childhood friend as he remembered what she brought earlier, "Don't worry about me I can take care of myself...there was no one there and no one should know about what I did." He paused for a moment as he looked up at her, "And far as Valafar goes I like him so it's enough said...now weren't you going to show me something?" He walked back in the direction of his room but was only silent to her, but it was quite different as his mind carried a conversation on with Valafar...well just because I did something fully unaware of my abilities doesn't mean you sould pull back the curtain...so what if I jacked off everyone fucks off once in awhile I bet you do too...and to your sarcastic remark I don't teach dance...that shits for pussies. He opened the door to his room as he let Lillit in the room first, and he followed in behind her as he shut the door; he was still silent as he continued to talk to him, you know it would be nice if she did...she thinks that she's the queen of me just because my father consoles with her father who happens to be a noble man. I wish we could find this place Valafar...so you and me could live like kings! A smile appeared on Astar's face as he sat on his bed only making him look silly as he really had no reason to be smiling; as Lillit would have thought. He then looked at her as he said, "Well what is it that you literally risked your ass from a beating for that could be so important...really I'm dying to know." He then pondered on how she laughed at him in the hall, "Do you really find me that funny or am I that stupid?" He couldn't help but smirk again as he asked her.
 
Lilit had a sinking filling in the pit of her stomach about him crossing his thresh hold and something told her that there was nothing but trouble ahead if he continued to linger around Valafar, "Look Astar I just don't think that it is wise risking yourself just trying to visit your new friend so I think it is best that you let him go because If you continue with this I know something bad is going to happen...Maybe I should just put the books back I don't want you to get into anymore trouble and letting you read those books on the tenth realm would only spike your interest further." His silence walking back to the room only made her think that he was angry with what she said and as she walked in the room she tried to make it up to him, "Look I love getting in trouble with you it is soo much fun but I think leaving your own sector is more then just child's play....I will help you but if things start to turn sour you have to promise me that you will stop this." Having no clue that he was speaking to Valafar in his mind she leaned down to pick up the books as she decided to let him skim through the pages.
Valafar shook his head at Astar even though he couldn't see his reaction he was getting flustered that he wasn't listening to what he had said, "I don't have a choice in the matter your the one who pulled back the curtain so I saw what you allowed me to see. You can't ask someone not to listen unless you make them deaf so the same thing works for me it is like being in the same room with you while you blurt out all your secrets. Yeah I fuck off so what's it to you but you were the one yanking your drawstring at the thought of me and that is what was amusing" He grinned despite still being shackled down with rods in his chest and just as he was about to mutter another thought to Astar the dark torture chamber lit up and his father caught him with a smirk smeared across his face, "So you think this is fun well maybe I should up the anti a little on your torture." Ornias snarled in a callous tone as he called on his slaves to shackle Valafar's arms and legs on a different set of cuffs. Instead of being left in a kneeling position Valafar's body was anchored into the air with his arms holding up his weight. The sharp rods extracted from his chest he now hung with his shackles chained up to many gears and pulleys as he was aware of what was to come next. His father then began to rotate a large lever in a circular motion as it tightened the chains that were attached to Valafar's limbs which jerked his arms and legs taunt stretching out his spine. Ornias laughed maliciously at him as he enjoyed controlling his son but Valafar who had been tortured all his life grew accustom to pain and he listened to his father's taunting words, "How does it feel now Valafar...I hope it wipes the smile off your face." Ornias satisfied with what he was doing didn't expect the reaction Valafar was about to give him. Valafar continued to grin like a mad man as a unsettling laugh slipped past his lips along with masochist words, "It feels fucking great maybe when I'm done being tortured I will whack off to the thought of all the pain I've been through!" He snarled not giving Ornias the power he wanted, Valafar had completely forgot that his mind was open to Astar's thoughts so now it was known where he had been the entire time.
 
Astar drew a blank as he snapped out of talking to Valafar for a moment as Lillit sat the book down on his lap. He had no recollection that she told him that he should forget all about him and just stay where he belonged, "Will your father even know that these are missing...if not I would like to keep it for awhile, because it seems that I have a lot of reading to do. You know if you help me I will make you head council man of my court." He wriggled his eyebrows at her as he tried his best to bribe her. He then penned her to his bed as he straddled over Lillit and looked her in her eyes, and penned her arms above her head as he smiled at her, "You know it sounds tempting so why would you act like your not listening...I know you all too well Lillit so don't act like you have no interest in my words..." He grew silent as he continued to look at her; he then gave her a soft look as he said out of questioning, "Are you jealous of Valafar by chance because maybe you like me too much?" He snickered out a little as he continued, "I wonder if things would be different if I didn't meet him and maybe down the road I made you my life time mate?" He once again let out a teasing snicker. Astar then paused momentarily before leaning in to kiss her, but stopped as Astar heard a unfamiliar voice ring in his mind. His ears twitched as he listened to what was going on and was shocked to hear the quarreling of voices. The sound of chains and metal clank together as Valafar laughed like a mad man after it was silent for just a moment he asked him out of curiousity, Are you in a dungeon...what is going on....why do you put up with that shit Valafar you know that you could kick his ass! His gentle expression left his face as he got up off of her; he slammed his fist on his bed as he grew angry that he had such punishment and only wished that he could do something about it, one day...he will pay...one day I will be able to show my wrath...let me help you take part in killing him Valafar let him reckon that you are the king and lord of this place and maybe not just kill him quickly because it will be a way out but torture him for eternity!
It didn't end there when Astar was snapped out of his trance when he heard a raging voice scream out his name; he stood to his feet and knew something was terribly wrong. He happen to look down noticing the forbidden books were still in his hands, and without a second thought he thrust them under the bed. He looked over at Lillit who wasn't supposed to be in his room as a panic look streamed over his face, "Hide...in my closet now!" He whispered to her as he frantically flailed his arms at her; he then quickly ran at her as he shoved her in the direction of his over sized closet only to push her inside and rapidly shutting the door. He heard her mutter something, but was quick to hush her as he said in a frantic tone, "Shut up!" Thamuz came busting through the door as his belly jiggled more than the jolly ole' man, St. Nick, "YOU!" Astar's eyes widened as he pointed at himself, "ME?" "YES YOU!...YOU TRIED TO KILL MY DAUGHTER!" Astar now a little freaked out now by the enraged fat demon as his back pressed firmly against his closet door, "I never tried to hurt her...hey you know I have no control over my powers...come on eh heh...I'm still grow so you know how everything is out of whack!" Devonah emerged from behind her father's huge form as she snickered from behind him, now she leaned in a little in a mocking gesture as she mouthed the words, you should know your place...she then gave a silent sarcastic kiss as she leaned against his door frame. This enraged Astar as he had quite enough of her attitude he started to growl in a low dark tone; Thamuz raised an eyebrow as he thought it was directed at him so in a rumbling voice he said, "You have a lot of balls growling at me boy...maybe I should teach you a lesson!" Thamuz then stormed up to him as he proceeded to grab his neck, but this was short lived as Astar's form changed, and his alabaster blue eyes turned blacker than any darkness that lived in hell. He started to grow two more feet as his fur stood on it's end; only to grab Thamuz by the hand as he twisted his wrist as the cracking of bones followed. Devonah's father let out a howl of pain as he clenched his now broken wrist, Astaroth then said in a hellish voice, "Keep your hands off my fat cat before I throw you in the Styx river!" His voice was loud and prominent as his mind opened up only to flood with evil thoughts on how to murder, but Astaroth's transformation was short lived as he shrunk back to his normal size, as he was baffled on what caused him to turn into such a beast. Haures then heard a ruckus transpire from the hall that his son's room resided from so he figured it was his duty to check it out, and to much of his surprise he entered only to see Devonah and Thamuz; who was hitting his son across the face with his good hand, "I'll kill you...you bastard if you ever touch me or my daughter again!!" "THAMUZ! What are you doing in here and what is the meaning of all this...why are you laying a hand on my son...the future duke may I remind you!" He grab his hand before it landed on his son. "HE tried to kill me and my daughter only moments earlier...he needed to be taught a lesson!" "I think that is my place noble man...not yours!" "Now get out before I send you to a torture chamber for a lesson of your own!" Haures then looked at his son as his eyes narrowed only to say a few words before slamming the door behind him, "I will deal with you later!" Astar then slid to the floor as his energy seemed to leave his body as if the transformation drained him of all power to function. He knew when his father came back that it wouldn't be good, and that he would be in for a beating for making his father look bad.
 
After making herself comfortable on Astar’s plush bed she gentle laid the forbidden manuscripts down upon his lap before retorting back to his remark, “You weren’t listening one bit to me shish I am going to be your advisor when you grown into that throne and you don’t even listen to my advice!” She shook her head in disappointment before continuing to answer his first question, “The scribes may not be noticed because they are about the tenth realm and as far as I could tell the only contact those books have had is with particles of dust…The dust was so thick you think the books where wearing a coat made of grime but anyways I think you could keep them for a little while but if you get caught with them you better not even mutter my name or so help me I will do something to you that you will never forget!” Lilit wagged her finger with narrow eyes at him in a serious but playful manner while listening to his best attempts to bribe her, “I told you that I would help but if the matter got too heated that I was backing out and you better do the same I wouldn’t want you to get tortured for not following the Order of Chaos.” She hadn’t expected him to pin her down along the comforts of his bed and she let out a gasp as he did, listening to his conceded words swirl about in the depths of her ears. “Hmmm…sweet, sweet Astar…” Her tail tucked between her legs letting it brush down his chest before her bushy tail stroked his loins in a taunting manner while her eyes softened despite the fact that her arms were braced to the bed she was able to whisper seductively into his ear, “I think that…you don’t know nothing about me and I have no reason to be jealous of Valafar besides you couldn’t handle me!” She grinned as she nipped him on the neck thinking it was amusing that he thought he had her all aroused only to find that she toyed with his mind and hadn’t even noticed that he went in for a kiss. She was a little taken back by his blank stare and sudden burst of anger which made her think that she had upset him in her little teasing game, “Oh come on I was just messing with you why are you so upset??” Her question never getting a response as she heard Astar’s name being callously called before watching him thrust the books under the bed and then getting a brash command to hid in the confines of his closet, “Why I don’t need to go into the closet I like having sex with other females!” She started to laugh at her joke until he hurriedly shoved her behind its doors and she muttered through the doors, “I have been in hiding too long I’m coming out I want the world to know!” She then seen Thamuz come bursting through the door of Astar’s room from the slender crack of the closet door and making a grimace on her face she bluntly stated, “Ewwwwww,” As it was just loud enough for Astaroth to hear through the closet door and she had to hold herself from laughing when her friend dished out a bit of sarcasm to the heavy noble demon who seemed totally oblivious to it. She had no idea as to what they were talking about and knew that Devonah had spread a lie just to get him in trouble. She was about to push the closet doors open but they seemed to be jammed forcing her to watch the matter helplessly but she was astonished to see her friend grew in size along with a hateful temper that had never come from him before, “Wow you go Astar kick that fat fucker to next week!” She was disappointed to see him loose his ability in such a short amount of time and more annoyed to watch his ass getting kicked by Devonah’s father.

Valafar was completely caught off guard by Astar’s voice ringing in his thoughts as he hadn’t wanted him to know where he was at and he roared out in anger which only made his father think that he was causing him agony. Valafar said nothing thinking it was best not to respond to Astar’s remark and withstanding enough of the torture he was having to partake in he rotated his wrists within his shackles as he forced himself into a blind rage Valafar’s hands wrapped around the chains melting the links that held his body up into the air. His weight came crashing down and before his father could respond he had already melted the cuffs from around his ankles making his escape through an open rift. The location of the gateway hadn’t been the ideal place for him to escape as he landed in the bathing quarters of some unfamiliar demons tub who to his luck was bathing inside it. Valafar only looked at the dumbfounded demon for only a moment before quickly flying out a nearby open window as he found himself in the eighth dimension of hell he knew that he would never go back to Scelus the land of his father. His thoughts were clouded by the many voices and sights of Astar’s mind which only seemed to irate his already flared temper as he watched him get the shit beat out of him by Thamuz but he was more enraged that a simple noble’s daughter thought that she had the rule over a duke. He flew towards the castle of Vidix where Astar lived and despite hearing the alarm that signaled a demon escaping their sector he was determined to teach both Thamuz and Devonah a lesson. His father had seen the rift that lead to Vidix that his son was about to pass through and knew it would be easier to retrieve Valafar if he notified the demons of his escape to another dimension. Valafar waited patiently high in the hell lit sky for his victims to emerge from the castle grounds and this time he wouldn’t hesitate to put an end to his target. His sight blurred at the overwhelming power his body carried and he knew he would have to be quick in order to finish out the job. With Thamuz being the first to appear Valafar let out a gut wrenching roar as he dove in for the kill making his hollow gapped mouth the last thing the noble demon ever saw while his jaws latched onto Thamuz’s skull. His upper canines crunched the bones above the fat demon’s brow while his lower teeth sank into the muscle below his eye sockets snagging them under Thamuz’s cheek bones. He hadn’t forgotten about the over cocky Devonah who had trailed behind her father and he was also quick to snag her by the leg with his serpent tail. Valafar never being the one to be chivalrous towards anyone’s aid now seemed to be protecting the only person he ever liked and what better way to relieve his anger then to force his might upon those who were less powerful then him. The broken chain links rattled as he was still cuffed in his shackles it made him look like a wild beast who escaped his cell that hadn’t had a meal in months and with Thamuz struggling from under Valafar’s weight the fat demon seemed like a prized pig. His tail coiled around Devonah’s calf constricting the blood flow through her leg before making its way around her torso as he his serpent made eye contact with her and like the pale eye on his upper features it matched the same on his serpent tail’s face. Giving her the same treatment that she had gotten moments earlier within Astar’s hideout his words only seemed like pins and needles in her thoughts, “I warned you to learn your place bitch but it seems you can’t remember it so let me remind you that Astaroth is above your worthless soul but most of all I own you and your swine of a father so remember it well.” Thinking he got his point across Valafar decided that it was time to make a merciless kill of Thamuz even though his overwhelming powers slowly began to make him black out. With his jaws still latched in his victim’s face Valafar shook his head trying to shake off the dizzy spells that seemed to be clouding his thoughts and he knew that it wouldn’t be a good idea to let his rage subdue him while the signal of his presence was being announced of his escape so making a rational decision he unlocked his jaws making a break for it in his attempt to hid from the demon guards of Vidix.

Lilit held perfectly still the moment Astar's father came storming in the room and after the whole incident had died down she shook violently at the closet door breaking free from behind it before falling to her face. She let out a small scream as she fell but it didn't take her long to get to her feet at the sound of the alarm and running to the window she seen the commotion. "ASTAR!!! LOOK.....Valafar is out side on Thamuz!" Her finger pressed against the glass as her head turned quickly towards Astaroth before reverted her attention back to the spectacle outside her friend's window.
 
Thamuz had no idea what was to come next as he let out a gut wrenching scream when Valafar sunk his teeth deep into his skull. He then retorted in defense to Valafar as he continued to scream; flailing his arms and with his thick hands slapping Valafar's back as power distributed from them. It felt like a car hitting him with every blow to his muscular back. Thamuz started to realize that this was not doing any thing to him as a few minutes past and Valafar not letting up an inch. So he reached for the next best thing so that the excruciating pain would let up; he then stopped banging Valafar's back like a drum and then reached up and pressed his fat thumbs into his alabaster colored eye. This only made things worse as the pain became more intense than any demon could handle; now sounding like a girl who had a blood curdling shrill as Valafar applied more pressure to his skull only making him puncture his cranium as his teeth became closer to his brain. Blood poured out like a waterfall as it streamed down over Thamuz's face making it almost unbearable to watch. Devonah who was freak out by being snagged up on her leg and the talking that took place in her mind only heightened her fear. She began to clench her teeth as the familiar pain returned once more; as she wanted to fight back but couldn't as the words just rang in her ears like shards of glass that sank deep into the skin. She was then relieved as the voice stopped and as well as the pain, but was then torn from her own agony as she witnessed her father's face being distorted by Valafar's large canine teeth. Devonah began to scream at him as she seen the amounts of blood pooling out of his face and started to realize that her father's facial structure was starting to collapse from the pressure of his massive jaws, "You get off of him...don't kill him...I swear I will have my revenge if you do so help me!" She then pounded her fist down on his tail trying to break free of his bonds; she tried to fight back her tears, but she could no longer put up a front as they began to stream down her cheeks fearing that she would be left alone knowing her father was all she had left. The victory for Valafar on the other hand was short lived as soldiers started pouring out of the Vidix fortress as the alert set them on edge ready and willing to defend their realm and their duke. Thamuz was relieved when Valafar released his head from his clutches, but still the pain resided on his partially collapsed skull. Devonah was quick to yell orders for someone to save her father as she came to his aid hoping that it wasn't too late to save him from vanishing for good. She then turned her attention to him as she said in a almost caring voice, "Father stay with me...you are going to be alright....you hear me...you are going to be alright....you are strong and a nobleman....father??" She noticed that the light was starting to leave his eye as he tried to respond to her but couldn't as the pain settled in his torn muscle, "Don't try to speak father...just hold on...don't leave me here all alone like mother did...please!"
Astar still on the floor trying to clean the blood from his badly beaten face, but only this time it was a lot worse than before; making it harder to heal. One eye was now swollen shut as the skin under his fur was black and blue. Though this didn't stop him from getting to his feet after Lillit screamed out that Valafar was outside his bedroom window, "WHAT? Why would he be here and what caused him to act out on Thamuz and Devonah?" He looked at her with his good eye as the questionable look was plain on his face. He grew silent as the thought ran through his mind and it suddenly clicked, but why? he thought as if demons should really care, but he couldn't help to be curious to Valafar's suspicions. Astar then gained the courage to speak to him as he closed his good eye, and started to channel his thoughts to Valafar as if to make their minds as one, "Why did you come here...and what caused you to take revenge for me? I am so curious to what drove you to such actions." His eye began to ache as it made it hard for him to stay focused on his connection as Valafar could tell that his thoughts became fuzzy, "Sorry it's my eye...it hurts something terrible this time and I am having a hard time reversing the damage...may I see you soon my new love, and hopefully it won't be long until I do." He made a thought that as if to be smiling at him before the connection was lost and Valafar's mind grew silent.
 
Valafar who was now making his escape had been so toiled up in his rage that he hadn’t even acknowledged the pain that Thamuz had so generously given to him but the pressure that had been applied against his alabaster eye seemed to have been damaged as it only added more to his blurred vision that had come with the side effects of not being able to control his power. He had thought that letting up on Thamuz would have stopped him from blacking out but his rage and ability had already been set free and soon he wouldn’t be able to prevent himself from passing out. Valafar pressed through the feeling of loosing control as he flew up into the burning heavens knowing all to well what the consequences would be if he were caught outside his dimension. As long as he kept his focus he figured he could fight through his inability to control his powers and that he might be able to overcome his lack of control but it was broken by the interruption of Astar’s voice brimming through his thoughts which only seemed to arouse his anger further, “You have bad timing Astaroth I don’t need your words squirming in my head and I know you are wondering but this is not the place for me to discuss things with you so maybe when I am not being tailed by hundreds of soldiers we can continue this conversation.” His voice sounding snippy as he retorted back seemed only to be giving off mixed emotions to Astar but the concern for his life was hanging in the balance and he felt his world around him began to fade to black. Looking over his shoulder he could barely see the guards who were only inches away from having him in their grasp and with that last blurry vision in his consciousness he slipped into the dark abyss of his mind as he passed out drifting down into the open air before his muscular body slammed into the dry dead soil of Vidix. The many soldiers who had been stalking him from the moment the sirens went off were now surrounding his body and with a group effort they were now lifting Valafar’s limp carcass that was embedded within the loam before returning with their mangled prisoner to the palace of Vidix. After removing the remaining restraints that had braced Valafar’s wrist and ankles they replaced them with their own set of shackles to a cold steal table that sat up in an upright position within the dungeons. Valafar’s head leaned forward in his comatose state while the General to the Duke’s army looked him over as it had been ages since any demon had successfully made their way through another dominion. The observation didn’t last long as he went to inform his master of the successful capture of the intruder and after climbing several floors to reach the duke of Vidix he entered within the throne room, “My lord I am sorry to disturb you but the outsider has been detained and no one knows how he got through since the gatekeeper reports that the intruder hadn’t made his way through the gateway. I was wondering if you were interested in observing this matter for yourself.” The General stood sternly as he directed his lord with a question that was being patiently awaited for a response. Haures’s Advisor Ronwe stood at his side more then curios to know who this intruder might be and could only hope that his master would agree to look upon the demon that trespassed into their sector.

Lilit only looked at Astar, shrugging her shoulders to his question but also couldn’t help but make a grimace at his disfigured face, “Wow he really kicked your ass or in this case your face…man I didn’t think it was possible for you to get ugly but I was wrong!” She slightly snickered at herself as she looked back out the window only to watch Valafar disappear off into the distance. He and the guards were nothing but faint dots but although she was still able to see him fall from the sky with the soldiers diving after him and with a blank expression she looked back at Astar when the siren silenced through out the realm, “I think your friend just got captured Astar….so I guess there is no finding the tenth realm…but they are more then likely to bring him back to the castle dungeon before he is killed so that your father can delegate what it is he wants done with Valafar.” Lilit then stepped away from Astar’s bedroom window and towards the door as she peeked out just in time to see the general walking down the hall. “Yep…hey Astar there just went the General if you want to we could follow him and eavesdrop on what happened to Valafar.” Her eyes gleam back at Astaroth as she got the look of trouble on her expression and knew that he couldn’t resist the temptation to find out about his new lust.
 
Astar's face expression widened with fear and disbelief as he seen his new lover caught by his father's soldiers. He raised his fist as he slammed it down onto the stone window ledge, "NO!..." His eyes widened, but quickly cringed with pain as he grasped his swollen eye. He then heard his voice ring in his head and noticed that he was a bit snippy, but he didn't retort back as he listened to his rough voice. Astar wanted to speak to him so badly since he didn't know if this would be the last time they would ever speak to each other. He then stood up straight looking at Lilit while he gave her a grimace as his ears laid flat back onto his head, "I don't find you amusing at the moment Lillit and my face is killing me, but if you like you can look as bad as I do." He had a low growl follow his tone as he became easily agitated. He then became more hateful when she mentioned that they will never find the tenth realm, "That is where you are wrong Lillit....we will find it, and I will get him out!" He then stormed out of his room as he flung the door open as he didn't hear her say anything about following them. Astar then ran down the hall practically knocking everyone that was in his path snarling as he said, "Move!" He then made his way down the winding staircase to the dungeon floor only to peer around the corner without being noticed. Astar then listened carefully as he watched his father circle him like he was ready to go in for a kill.

Haures looked him over careful pondering how he did it, but only could come to no conclusion so he said in his big demanding voice, "SO Demon who do you think you are just storming in where you please and cause havoc upon my realm...what gives you such right? Do you not know what the punishment is for crossing dominions? You better have a good reason why I shouldn't slay you where you lye!" "Do you think that you are privileged young cub...here you will not play king you know why...because you aren't one here...your rank doesn't matter to me...now what you are going to do is heal my nobleman that you decided to mangle like a chew toy. Tell me why...why him and his daughter...whatever harm did they bring upon you?" He folded his arms giving Valafar a chance to speak his side of the story. Astar's heart rate heightened and his breathing became paroxysmal; he tried to calm himself as he spoke to Valafar conscientiously, "Please don't be mouthy Valafar...if you value your life and you want to be free someday from all this then for my sake and yours don't be." He peered out a little where his alabaster blue eyes were visible for a few seconds just to let him know that he was near by. Devonah who was down in the dungeon with Haures, and her injured father who was now about to give his last breath happened to notice Astar's Onyx colored fur and she didn't have any hesitation, "You do love to dabble in your father's work don't you!" She then pulled him away from the wall as she exposed him to the others. She then smiled wittingly as she spilled her known truth, "I see him before...your son and him were together earlier this morning...so why don't you ask Astaroth what he was doing with another demon of another rank?" Haures's face turned red with anger, "You are keeping secrets from me! How dare you...is this what you are doing with your time...wasting it! He then ripped the whip out of a soldier's hand as he flung it at him hitting him only as his son went to his knees from the pain, and the wounds that the whip made gouged deep into his flesh. Haures then said hatefully, "I don't know what has gotten into you lately but it seems that I need to beat it out of you...you are useless...you have no power what so ever...you are weak and you will never be a duke if you don't grow some balls!" Astar had never heard his father speak of his true feeling of him until now which only hurt him, but that hurt was quickly turned to anger and again a gruff voice came through that wasn't like him at all, "You know what I think father...I think you are very wrong!" He then stood up erect as his form grew taller than his usual height the then looked down with his now blackened eyes that seemed to have no soul, "I think it's about time to meet the real me...the one that will make you respect me, but first there is someone else that is on the top of my list...here kitty kitty kitty!" He then let out a howl that was bone chilling as something escaped his mouth as mist of a demon came out as it seemed to be crawling out of his mouth it then swirled around Devonah like a shark. Devonah had no idea what was about to come next as it consumed her in it's mist; choking her and slowly crushing her windpipe. Haures at first was surprised at his son and a little fear struck, but that quickly diminished as he yelled at him, "Astaroth I demand you to stop at this instant!" Astaroth turned his attention to his father but only throwing him across the room without laying a finger on him.
 
Lilit snarled at him for taking his rage out on her but was never able to get a word in edge wise as he stormed out of the room. She grumbled to herself at the knowledge that he hadn't listened to anything she had said and figured that it was best that she didn't follow him as it might get her into more trouble. It wasn't that she didn't enjoy getting into a mess or two but wrapping herself in the affairs of a realm traveler could get her soul into deeper purgatory. She huffed in anger storming out of Astar's room and back to her own that also dwell within the castle.

The trip to the palace of Vidix was made unaware to Valafar as he had slipped back into a dream state and even as he hung from the cold slab with his eyes wide open his spirit seemed not to be in the same room as Haures and the others. Nothing was registering at the spiteful words that spat from the Duke of Vidix's mouth since he had left his body behind only returning back to Acerbus in his spirit form. Valafar couldn't understand why every time his powers failed that his soul would journey to the tenth realm but his concentration was broke when he could hear Astar's voice echoing in the desolate sector. He looked about trying to see if he could find him and when he failed to do so he responded back within his thoughts thinking that was where the voice had come from, "What are you talking about..don't tell me what to do if I want to scorn others then I will!" He was silent for a moment thinking he might get a response but when he hadn't he then turned back towards the dank fortress off in the distance.
Ronwe who had followed Haures down to see the intruder of their realm stood in awe and was eager to study Valafar but with his duke heavily questioning him Ronwe could only wait to get permission to get a better look. It didn't take long before he would get his opportunity as Haures was distracted by both Devonah and Astar. Figuring that Astar was none of his concern he stepped in closer to observe Valafar and upon doing so he noticed the strange characteristics that he had. He murmured to himself while making connections to things he had read in his many books on the entire dominion and was about to reveal them to Haures until Astar had surprised him with his abilities. He gasped when his duke was thrust across the room and figured it was now in his best interest to intervene before revealing his suspicions about Valafar. Standing between both Haures and Astaroth he hollered out at the young duke, "Now Astar you need to calm yourself this will not do if we have conflict between the grand dukes of Vidix. It is apparent that you surpass your father in strength...." He paused a moment looking at Haures hoping he wouldn't be reprimanded for what he had just told Astar, "I hate to admit it Haures but your son has you beat but don't think of this in a bad way, it was you who produced such a powerful child." His attention then surged back over to the young duke hoping to slow his advances, "You will be a good Duke someday but this must cease as your father's rein is still in affect and whatever affections you have for this beast is dangerous. On what I have observed this demon is known as a Vice which is a rare breed of demon that are able to make rifts so they may travel and feed off other demon souls. This type of demon is born only once every six trillion years and as rare as that is he must be destroyed. A Vice demon can wipe out our entire sector and it is only our luck he doesn't know how to possess his powers because he is capable of many things so I need you to calm yourself so that I may deliberate with your father on what we should do with him." Looking over at Haures he added just a little more input, "I have to tell you my duke that the Vice heard nothing of what you said. He is passed out completely and that is a good thing because if he had been awake none of us might be standing here." Ronwe didn't know Valafar like Astar had and wasn't going to risk loosing his home to Astaroth's lust for the Vice.
Valafar slowly became aware of his surroundings and felt his arms restrained to a metal table while hearing voices that were starting to become clear in the background. He was still unaware of what had been going on then lifting his head he spoke while waiting for his blurred vision to correct itself, "My head hurts...Astar??" He questioned himself as his sights locked onto Astaroth's changed appearance, "Is that you and where the hell am I?"
