Into The Devil’s Heart

“And who are you?” Abigor asked, he felt belittled by him and he hated that.

Baston flies to where Audrey is, he can see her questioning but he ignores it.

“A hybrid!!!” Abigor mutters under his breath, he feels it. The two powers come from him as he approaches.

“How come you are a wizard and a demon?” Abigor is curious as to who he is and where he’s from.

“Because I was born by a witch” Baston spoke up. He is in awe at what he is now.

The last thing he remembered was him almost dying because he tried to open the portal and the next scene he saw was him in hell, faced with demons about to fight Audrey

“Baston?” Abigor calls out without thinking

Baston frowns, “how did you know my name?” He questions.

Abigor flies up to where they were, “you were born on earth, in the east side of the country by a lady who goes by the name, of Silvia, one of the most powerful witches on earth and lives in the eastern black forest” he said in a single breath

Baston was amazed at how well he knew him and how well he described his mom.” How did you know? ” He asked but then, realization dawned on him. Abigor is a high-rank demon and of course, nothing is new to him.

” You inherited her red hair, but… You look like me” Abigor points out.

Baston frowns, ” I’m sorry, but I look nothing like you” he denies. What he sees is an animal face in a man’s body. There’s no way he looks like him.

he turns to Audrey, “Do I look like him?” He asked in a whisper. Audrey shakes her head in denial.

Abigor stares at him for a long time before speaking up, “back off, they are mine” he announces.

In his words, everything changes back to normal and people proceed to walk and do things normally as if nothing happened.

Zain was still waiting for them to come down and meet him. He is curious as to who the strange demon is.

Abigor’s face changes from an animal-looking face to a normal human face.

Baston gasped at the sight of him, it was as though he was staring at himself with grey hair. In human forms, Abigor looks so young and handsome. One could say he is of the same age as Baston and Zain.

Zain was surprised to see his father’s chances, growing up, he’s got to see his real face once and after that day, he never saw it again.

Abigor is best known for his continued face-changing. He’s never let anyone see his true self.

Baston let out a confused laugh, he turned to Abigor, “You don’t mean to tell me that you, a demon Lord my ” he couldn’t finish as the words seemed too hard to pronounce

Abigor nods, “yes, you are my son, and I, your father ” he explains.

“This must be a dream, a dream of my imagination” Baston shakes his head in denial, there’s no way he is his father. There’s no way he is a demon.

” You are indeed my heir” Abigor announced, his voice was so loud that the people below heard him including Zain.

Zain’s wings pop out of his back, and he flies up to where they were, “You shouldn’t make such a declaration, father… What about me?”

All his life, he’s been working so hard for this. To one day succeed his father’s throne but now, all of a sudden, a guy from Earth pops out of nowhere and he is announced as the heir.

What then is he? A stand-by and watcher for all good things to pass him by?

“You should know you are not fit to be my heir, you were never and will never” Abigor didn’t choose his words, whatever comes out of his mouth is what he aims at saying

“I am your son too, don’t I deserve this at least for always working for you and doing your will?” Zain feels unappreciated for his efforts and hard work. How can his father do that to him?

Baston could feel the tension rising, he didn’t want to create a scene.

“Listen here, whatever you are or whoever you are, keep it to yourself. I have no interest in whatsoever throne you are talking about, I am here in search of my master whom I’ve vowed to serve forever” Baston spoke out, making his words clear and firm.

“I don’t know you, and I don’t want to know you.” He turns to Zain, “Stop being angry, I will never take that wish you have labored for”

He grabs Audrey’s hands, “If you don’t mind, we bet to take out leave now. Our mission is bigger than this”

They were about to leave when Abigor spoke out, “You aren’t different from her, aren’t you? She gave up her queenship all because of peace ”

” I didn’t do it for peace, I am truly not interested in whatever you have and will have, ” Baston said as a matter of fact.

” You can as well tell me who you are searching for, I might be able to help” Abigor spoke out, indirectly offering his help.

Baston will indeed need his help to locate Cannon, but he doubts if they will know the person he’s looking for since he doesn’t know his name in hell.

” Cannon” Baston blurts, ” that’s the name of my master”

Abigor frowns, ” doesn’t he have another name?” He asked he was unable to tell who the person was by that name.

His gaze falls on Audrey by the side, “why are you walking with this thing?” He demands.

Baston’s face twists in displeasure, “speak to her with respect, and she isn’t a thing. She does have a name and it’s more preferable to call her by it”

Baston felt so protective of Audrey, she is his master’s little bunny and regardless, he won’t let anyone touch her.

He pulls Audrey closer and warp his arms around her protectively when a deep voice vibrates from behind making all of them except Audrey tremble in respect and fear of being killed.

From afar was Cannon, he is known as Abaddon, the god of destruction and no mercy.

It was surprising to see him in this era of hell, knowing who he is, he hardly leaves his throne.

“Step away from her” he orders.

Without thinking, Baston quickly retracts his hand off Audrey’s shoulder and steps aside.

“MINE!!!” Abaddon mutters with so much possessiveness, that he flies to where Audrey is standing and takes her into his large arms.

Audrey is unable to move at the sight of her beloved, calming her before everyone. It took her entire being not to pass out.

She let herself be carried by him, the rest she’d been searching for was finally here. Her home was right before her, taking her in for some rest.

Abaddon flies away not sparing anyone a glance, he came for her and she is his to take.

Baston felt a sting of pain in his chest when he didn’t spare him a glance, he was about to fly away when Abaddon spoke out

“It took you forever to bring her here, you’ve got a lot to be punished for. Come with me, Baston!!!”

Baston’s face lit up into a smile. He finally said something, he recognized him and valued him. Even though he’s going to be punished, he prefers to be punished than not be recognized at all.

“Yes, Master!” He bows and flies along, following him behind.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
