Diavolo's Demise?

3rd Person POV

Another day had passed for the next Demon King, Diavolo. Countless meetings discussing the exchange program, new business developments, renegotiating contracts, and checking over the progress and status of Devildom kept the young Lord extremely busy. With all of the business of his day, nothing could prepare the young demon for what was about to happen. The news stopped him cold in his tracks. In an instant, the only thing on his mind was one individual.

Immediately upon hearing the news that turned his veins to ice, Diavolo canceled every upcoming meeting. He began walking down a very familiar path; one he has traveled habitually over the millennia. He kept his eyes straight as he traveled down the damp, cold, stone hallway until he arrived at a set of steep steps. With a wave of his hands, small flames lit upon the scantly placed candles, illuminating his journey downwards. At the bottom of the staircase, his eyes felt heavy. His frozen, stoic demeanor began to thaw as pain moved into him and a small grimace plastered itself as his new expression. Slowly, he approached the partially open door, pausing for a brief moment as the confirmation of the situation appeared before him.

Fully entering the room, Diavolo walked up to an ornate bed. Looking at the demon, his heart stopped. He knew this was bound to happen, but he still couldn't fully prepare himself for this day. Diavolo grabbed a chair and sat down next to the bed before carefully grabbing the demon's hand. Looking at the gingerly breathing demon on the bed, Diavolo spoke, his voice barely audible.

"Father, I'm here," the demon prince said with a pained tone.

Diavolo's father scarcely opened his eyes before smiling a slight smile. "Diavolo... I'm glad to see you, son."

Diavolo's throat felt tight making him swallow, hard. "Don't worry, father. We'll get the doctors back down here to assist you. We'll get you feeling better," Diavolo said.

Diavolo's father gasped a chuckle. "Diavolo, my time has come. You must accept that."

"I can't do that. You still have time to recover."

"No son, I'm sorry."

Diavolo could no longer hold his tears back. While physically, Diavolo's father left thousands of years ago to sleep below Devildom, Diavolo could still visit him from time to time. Now, Diavolo truly would lose the last family member he had. Fear of the impending abandonment built in him; it crept through his chest and dragged him down.

Through choked sobs, Diavolo pleaded with his rapidly declining father. "Please... I can't... you can't leave yet. What about the Devildom? What about.... What about me?"

Diavolo's father's small smile began to fade. "Diavolo, you have been able to manage the Devildom for eras now. I have no concern that you still will be able to. As for you, son, you will recover from the pain. I can see it in your eyes that you're hurting but know that you can handle this."

"How are you so sure?"

Diavolo's father let out a pained, ragged, breath. His time was quickly approaching but he was holding on with all of his strength to give his son one final piece of advice, rather, a warning. "I know that I haven't always been there for you. Please know that there was a reason for it. Son, there will be one who tries to harm you. Only trust those you keep closest to you. Even your own reflection will begin to cast doubt within yourself. Only trust what you know, and do not falter from that knowledge and belief."
