It was a cold night as Stolas's Mansion, Stolas and Stella were in the master bedroom both asleep. With Octavia's frightened voice waking them up.
"Mummy! Daddy!" She cried.
"Via's calling us, Stella." Stolas muttered while still half asleep.
"You get up." Stella coiled up further under the covers as Stolas slowly got out of bed and walked to Octavia's room, where she was hiding beneath her blankets.
"Via? What troubles you, my owlet?"
"Daddy! Daddy! I had a dream! A really bad dream!" Octavia climbed down from her bed and ran to Stolas, who quickly embraced her in his arms as she cried.
"You were having a nightmare, sweetheart. What happened?"
"I was looking all over the palace, and... I couldn't find you anywhere! You weren't there!"
"There there, Via, it's okay; you're okay. When you're scared and you don't know where I am, you must remember: no matter what happens to me, I will never be far away from my special little Starfire."
Stolas summoned his Grimoire to him telekinetically as he walked to Octavia's bed and sat down next to her.
♫ It always seems more quiet in the dark ♫
♫ It always feels so stark ♫
♫ How silence grows under the moon ♫
♫ Constellations gone so soon ♫
♫ I used to think that I was bold ♫
♫ I used to think love would be fun ♫
♫ Now all my stories have been told except for one... ♫
♫ As the stars start to align ♫
♫ I hope you take it as a sign ♫
♫ That you'll be okay. Everything will be okay♫
♫ And if the Seven Rings collapse ♫
♫ Although the day could be my last ♫
♫ You will be okay. When I'm gone you'll be okay... ♫
♫ And when Creation goes to die ♫
♫ You can find me in the sky ♫
♫ Upon the last day ♫
♫ And you will be okay... ♫
His lullaby finished, Stolas left the room as his daughter settles to sleep, content.
*******************************************
Years later, Octavia was knocked awake by a loud crash Stella screaming at Stolas.
"I can't believe you slept with an imp, IN OUR FUCKING BED!" She screamed, smashing a pot nearby.
Stolas tried to explain, which only made Stella more infuriated. "It was unexpected! I didn't have time to go to a motel!"
"A motel?! Like a fucking plebian?!"
