“Are they coming, I did say midday, and the watch doesn’t lie,” I looked down towards my watch, seeing both hands-on twelve.

“Don’t worry Dyestral, royalties orders are absolute,”

“Good, did you both get your folders?” I turned my head, Sashal and Quinn nodded.

We were back at Dence highschool, waiting around the roof of the main building, which had a massive bell at the top. We were waiting at the buzzer, facing north, I had called the teenage demons I knew to a meeting up here at midday, although the only two who are here right now were Sashal and Quinn.

Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw Abatson, Xirax and Cynas appear to the right of me, greeting themselves and sitting down. Not long after, I also saw Lucyfer, and Astaroth jump in front of me holding hands.

“One minute late... it doesn’t hurt, now do you know why I called you here?” The five demons shook their heads, seeing this I snapped my fingers, before pulling out two files which I handed to Lucyfer and Astaroth. Quinn and Sahsal did the same thing to the rest, I waited a while for them to read it, and by the time they were done, I had stood up myself.

“I’m leading the frontal assault, all orders that are related to project black dome are absolute, do I have that clear?” Everyone nodded.

“Yeah yeah, we get it,” Astaroth pulled something out of his pocket which Lucyfer lighted, he then put the item in his mouth and took a deep breath, and breathed out smoke.

“What is that?” Xirax asked.

“It’s something I got from a merchant around Onsice, it’s called a cigarette, god their expensive but it just calms me,” Astaroth took another deep breath in and blew out smoke again. “I think it helps with my demon ability related to decay,”

“Anyhow,” I continued, “Since my orders are absolute, I will be giving you all stating which you will be at this time in six days,”

Xirax would be at the top of the spire of the castle, Cynas would try and poison the drinking water of Onsice, Abatson would destroy the city walls, whilst Lucyfer and Astaroth would lay waste to the capital. Meanwhile, Quinn, Sashal and I would be inside the castle, wreaking havoc everywhere.

“You’ll be working with other people which I will know shortly to destroy the capital, which leads to the fall of the country, and since my orders are absolute, I want you all to promise me something,”

“And what is it?” Abatson asked.

I began to take off my ring, “Too fake my death, to lie, only to leave this ring in its wake,” I placed the ring on the smooth stone next to me.

The entire group fell silent, and there were mixed feelings in the group. Xirax and Abatson were shocked, Cynas and Asteroth were glad, Lucyfer I couldn’t make out, Quinn looked sad, but Sashal, all I saw was regret.

“W-Why!” She yelled at me, all I could be say silent. “Why do you have to leave! Why can’t you do it later, we are still newlyweds, so why!” Tears began rolling down her cheeks, “Why do you have to leave…” Sashal began to sob.

“It’s for myself; I don’t know how long but,” I stood up and handed my ring to Quinn, “I do hope, that you will protect this for me, for that you will place this somewhere in the rubble, at the bottom of the king’s corpse,” I rolled up Quinn’s hand, and he nodded.

“Wait, don’t tell me your-” Cynas was cut off.

“Project White Dome was what Sashal and I are, making the body’s in tubes, not in mothers. Unlike her, I was part of the king’s project of putting youthful souls into stronger bodies, type two. He has ordered a termination, which makes it a perfect plan, as the king has to be present to order the termination of us, royalty does sometimes has it’s fall Quinn,” I smirked at him.

“I can see why,” Quinn repeated the same look.

“As soon as the king commands it, I’ll kill the guards and put him into a one on one duel with me, I’ll win, and move on to destroying the palace, where Quinn will find the king, and place my ring on top of him, as I know he is powerful, even more, powerful than Feuer,” I looked down at the stump of my right arm and tried to feel my hand again.

“Please don’t go Dyestral, as I have something that you need to be told,” Sashal began to sob, “I’ll... I’ll... I’LL!!,”

“You’re Pregnant.”

There was silence through the group, Sashal looked at me with confusion in her eyes, so I knelt to her, and began to explain.

“A variant of my soul ability is to look through this world from the eyes in between dimensions. Therefore I can see you soul and source, and in the middle,” I placed my hand on her belly, “I see a new soul,”

“D-Dyestral d-don’t be observed, I was going to tell you that I’d make sure you would never be known, but how can you tell why I’m pregnant!”

“You’ve been throwing up lately in the morning, and I can sense him inside of you, with the sources of air, water and darkness, just like mine, his soul colour is that of amber, his eyes will be magenta, a mixture of our colours, he will be a boy and have white hair, that and, he’ll be stronger than both of us,”

“D-Dyestral, can you even go without saying goodbye to even your son,”

“My dad died before I was born, and I killed him, it’ll be hard, but I swear on my life, on my soul, that if I don’t come back, I will watch over our baby until times end,”

Sashal lost it, and she began to sob and cry on my left shoulder, and I cradled her. Quinn began to clap, and the rest of them followed.

“Congrats on the child Dyestral and I swear that I will make sure it will have the best life it can,” Quinn said.

“Don’t worry; I’ll protect him,” Abatson continued.

“And me,” Xirax said.

“... So shall I,” Cynas put his hand up.

“Us too,” Lucyfer and Astaroth said in unison.

“I’m still here, and six days I will still be here, and I will not leave your side for those six days, and when I return, I will never leave you again,”

“Is that a promise?” Sashal asked, her tears staining her cheeks.

“I promise.”
