Chapter 36

The marriage rite of the Naberius and also ... .

The two still stare at each other, like their familiar and it is Ade Naberius at the end who breaks the silence:

- Collect that kind of copy of my familiar Kalego, here the only one and the real Cerberus is mine! Your Cerberion is just a bad copy of him!

Kalego growling and replying:

- How dare you!

- Moderate the tone Kalego! I am always your father!

- As such you must respect my rank!

- You too!

Balam to Annabel:

- They are both rank eight, so it means they are even in strength.

- So why all this?

-His father sees him as a kind of black sheep of the Naberius family ... but it is a story that he will have to tell you.

Ade: - Very good! So be it! I will respect the rank but your decision still disgusts me!

So he withdraws his familiar and also his son and adds:

- The ritual will be done the same and with few witnesses, as per tradition; since you've already entered into a marriage contract signed by the great Sullivan. So it will happen tonight as usual.

With this, he turns and leaves the place disappearing into the darkness and leaving Kalego with a bitter taste, where once again he has not given him the respect he deserves for his decisions.

- And it's already the second time!

And he too, turns and starts walking where the other two follow him.

--------------------------------------------------

I'm back in Kalego's room, where he hasn't disposed of what just happened.

Balam: - I think your hubby will now tell you something about him.

Kalego looks at him wrong and she:

- On what?

- You damn ... .

- You owe him Kalego and do you know what I still tell you? That she knows how to defend herself very well if you only explain how things really are!

He then reflects on it and then, sighing, replies:

- You are right.

Balam is amazed:

- Thing? Really?

- Didn't you hear stupid bag of feathers ?!

- Of course hehe!

He replies with some satisfaction.

Then he turns to her wife saying:

- He's not wrong, and now if you want to leave us alone.

Balam understanding:

- Oh yes! Now and see you later.

And he leaves the place, opening a portal to his room.

- Kalego, your friend is not wrong, I know how to defend myself well and whatever happened in this family ... I will try to understand as I can.

- Tz you know how to defend eh? Too bad you are among some high-ranking demons! And then .. I don't like to tell you about it but, I must and you must know; because trust first of all and if I don't tell you the truth, what trust can you have in me?

- Then go ahead, I'll make myself comfortable.

And she sits on the luxurious black armchair and he too and starts putting his arms crossed:

- Remember the scars on my back?

- How to forget them... .

- Well, that was the beginning, when I was a young and naive fourth-rank demon and as you know the low-ranking ones can't decide, especially when a higher-ranking one does. So I had to choose, marry a demoness chosen by my parents or receive a harsh punishment and I chose the second option.

- Or for the gods ... .

Annabel responds with a shocked face.

- And after that, I didn't know what I was getting into, until they whipped me with a cursed whip, which is capable of inflicting excruciating pain forever and of course my father, with the news that I wanted to stay single for life, he didn't. taken well and has not yet passed. Although I actually dated other demonesses without his knowledge.

- I'm sorry ... I didn't think it could go that far ... in short, it's cruel.

- In this world it is considered right to punish those of low rank who do not obey the high ranks.

- But is there your brother, they have not imposed anything on him?

- He had already reached rank eight and therefore was able to choose without constraints.

- Now I understand ... .

- So that's why you have to keep your eyes open! Now that he knows who you really are, he won't leave you alone and that first episode won't be the only one.

- I understand ... it's really terrible.

- Mf! The Naberius family is one of the most important and if you follow their rules they know how to reward you, but if the opposite happens they know how to unleash real hell! So I want you to always stay close to Balam which is the only way to keep you safe.

- Oooh .. thank you that you care about me.

- Tz! I'm your husband and that's the minimum!

- But I can get by you'll see, now that I understand how things are, do you really think that this third degree priestess does not know how to defend herself? Think about it Kalego, maybe you are underestimating me.

- Don't be a braggart that you don't need!

- I don't, but I remind you that we priestesses know how to get by with attack and defense and especially against demons.

- You did not understand the situation well and you are only a third degree!

- I know it very well! But you have to trust me Kalego!

And she looks him straight in her eyes more than determined, something that does not escape the other, who after a sigh and a minute's pause:

- It's pure madness ... but I'll give it to you.

- Thank you!

- But don't make me regret this decision!

She then approaches and gives him a loving kiss that he reciprocates where she does not disgust him at all.

- Seriously, you pay attention.

- Trainquil.

And then, while he looks at the clock placed on the fireplace:

- In an hour there will be the ceremony, before dinner; so get ready.

- Huh? What do I wear?

- How? Didn't he buy anything for the event?

She looks at him embarrassed and he:

- Absurd!

- But I have something ... trust me for this round too.

- Huh? Don't take your hand with the whole priestess arm!

But she wants to trust and then walking towards the door:

- Do what you have to, I will dress outside and wait for you outside the villa in twenty minutes.

And then he comes out even if with many worries and doubts:

- I have to trust her.

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------

The ceremony takes place at night, outside the home and in the family garden where there are all the appropriate decorations, luxurious statues and gardens, plus ghostly lights and guests of the families who are waiting to see Kalego's wife; who does not see her stepmother instead.

He wears clothes worthy of a prince, in fact she looks like this, obviously with dark colors; like those of fairy tales.

- Where are you?

He asks her father coldly.

-And she is on a trip and she left after she heard your wonderful news!

- This is pure rudeness! I understand that you do not accept it but it is my decision and the great Sullivan is my witness!

- This ceremony will do the same, precisely because I respect it. And now get ready, the black priest is coming.

With this he moves away from his son and he gains inwardly.

His brother approaches him and tells him:

- Don't pay attention to our father, you know he never took your choices well. But you also know that I will support you.

- Thanks Narnia.

- I heard what happened with your wife.

- I know, I'm already organized.

- Very good.

And honored by his words, he calms down.

The priest with the head of a black wolf, with red eyes and dark cloak arrives and approaches an altar, where the demon is already present and says:

- Son, where is your wife? I do not see her.

Right, the most important piece of him has not arrived and he does not see her among the few present, who begin to babble about the rather embarrassing situation.

- Where the hell did she go ?!

He thinks the demon as he begins to sweat, also because his father is dazzling him with his eyes and his brother instead looks at him doubtfully.

He then decides to telepathically call his trusted friend Balam, as he is not present either.

- Balam can you hear me?

- Loud and clear!

- Where the hell are you?

- Well I'm looking for Annabel, but I can't find her... .

- What?! I had left it in my room!

-I know about her but her presence is obscured by something that prevents me from seeing her....

- Curse!

Kalego understands, because as he says it he is looking at his father who gave him a really evil smile.

- It's the work of my damned father again!

He replies as he gestures to the black priest to wait and walks away, taking refuge behind a column, followed by the voices of the snake relatives who are now laughing at him.

- Oh for hell ... and now what do we do?

He knew it would happen, but he also knew he trusted his priestess.

-He keeps looking for her, I try to find out what he did to her!

- Perfect!

And he closes the communication.

Then he approaches his father who insults him saying:

- I feel ashamed for you!

- Me too! What did you do?

- What you mean? Can't you see your wife didn't deign to show up, breaking the Naberius code?

- YOU ... stop pretending and answer!

- Find it by yourself Kalego and then try to give a plausible explanation for this family, given the fool you're doing.

And she ends up with another malevolent smile and Kalego gets the thrombus and almost grabs him by the scruff!

- Damn you! I'm going to look for her and woe to you if you have twisted a hair!

-Hahah maybe she's wrong by herself, given her weak disposition!

In the meantime, his brother approaches, because he has noticed the tempers are heating up, but for now he does not intervene.

Kalego clenches his fists and grinds, but does not respond, also because in the distance they hear strange sounds and strange roars that distract their attention, as well as the other discerning ones now look around.

Hades Naberius:

- But what's going on?

- Tell me!

And from the darkness, first comes a light that almost blinds those present and then the creature with elven features recognizes it, the one who is the disease itself! And now there is terror in Kalego!

- You!

- Hahaha yes it's me damn demon! As you can see I came out of the den just for this moment!

Where he can also see the injuries inflicted the last time they met.

- How dared this vile creature to trample the soil of the Naberius!

- Father, stand back like all of you! This is the creature carrying the disease!

Shout Narnia to everyone present, where Kalego instead fell silent! Because he expected everything, except for the creature to arrive in this super protected place!

- What?! So it means that the guards... .

-Yes father, now they are all infected under his orders....

In fact, these too enter, transformed and look like zombies.

- Big brother says well and not only, now they are my army and you are wondering why I chose this one among all the lousy places!

- Damn monster!

Hades replies enraged and as he walks in their direction where they retreat, because they know they cannot face it directly, not even with the amulet created by Annabel!

- This is the symbol of the dogs of hell who are the absolute protectors and destroyed you, I destroy a part of the fortress that protects this place and the next will be the demonic borders and then, thanks to the big three!

He says while sadistically laughing the creature where all those present some have already fled and those who have remained are watching in amazement.

Kalego is now wondering how they will save themselves from this nightmare!

- You will die here and helpless!

And after another evil laugh, he raises a hand where others tremble with the thought of getting infected!

But Kalego wants to try again the technique of the last time they collided, so he makes a crossbow appear with a lot of negative energy on it, takes aim and shoots the arrow; which, however, gets stuck in one of the servants who act as a shield, as well as the others!

- Hahaha did you really think you hurt me like last time? Wrong!

And those who were once their friends and servants are now the shield and their enemies.

- Damn he's using them!

- You know that creature very closely, don't you, Kalego?

The father asks, where Narnia also looks at him and waits for an answer and he grinds:

-Yes ... we faced him once and hurt him, but this time he took some precautions and he won't hesitate to use them all!

- Interesting, I was not aware of it .. you and who?

He then smiles and replies:

- What you consider useless.

And as the creature raises a hand to hurl its extendable claws, something cuts neatly into the arms, where everyone present now turns their attention to the creature's screams plus the severed arm.

- What the hell?

Kalego smiles more, because he sees her kneeling on the ground, holding a khopesh steeped in green flames; that when he gets up he wears dark clothes and a mask with the likeness of an Anubis and he:

-Dear father, this is my wife, the priestess Annabel, where the blood of the ancient Anubian race flows in her veins!

The present are amazed and he enjoys seeing the incredulous face of his father who says:

- Thing? Are you kidding me ?!

He just another smile and then:

- Make sure you treat her as she deserves, because she is the only one who can defeat that monster!
