How to Deal with a Goetia Marquis

Man oh man, Andrealphus was a real piece of work. Cody was terrified of him, and for a good reason: because he might kill Stolas for Killing Stella, Abdrealphus' younger sister.

What can this mean for Cody and his friends? Was Abdrealphus going to hurt them or worse?

Perhaps that Cody will have to wait and see what will happen. One can say that the Marquis will literally throw a big snowball in Hell.

Alas, he was only a child and he felt like this was all his fault, although it looked like Andrealphus wasn't going to kill him after the whole affair. Stolas was a powerful prince and he told the child not to worry about what will happen between him and his shitty brother-in-law in the future. After all, Cody was not a powerful Goetia family member, just a mere human boy.

"So wait, let me getting this fucking straight, Stolas." Said Blitzo, who was talking to him on the other line. "You shitty brother-in-law wants revenge on you?" He paused. "How fucking dare he try to murder my own human friend!?"

"It's alright, Blitzy," said Stolas, "Abdrealphus didn't lay one harmful finger on Cody."

"Whew, that's a relief."

"Yes, but he now wants revenge on me for killing Stella."

"You had no choice. It was either her or everyone else."

"I know that as much as anybody you fucking imbecile!" Stolas lost his cool. He then took a heavy breath to cool himself off. "I'm sorry. Forgive my outburst. But I am more concerned about the safety of poor Cody."

"You don't have to worry about him, Stolas." The head of I.M.P reassured him. "Loona has got that covered."

"Right. I forgot about that, but she doesn't have magical powers like I do... besides turning into a human or course."

"She doesn't care about almost any shit, she can handle herself. Loona is a tough as nails girl."

"It's her funeral." Stolas rolled her eyes. "But just leave this to me. I can work things out with the Goetia family. I mean, I already have an Heir to the throne now and the deed is done."

"Right, between you and Stella. Look, I can help you fight off any of those pompous fuckers who tried to hurt you."

"No no no, I don't want to kill anyone." Stolas objected, "they are my family? What kind of person would I be if I would just kill off my own family?"

"Well it's like this, Stolas," Blitzo cleared his throat, "you can't choose your family but you can choose your friends."

"Story of my life." The Goetia prince rolled his eyes. "But I can handle this little situation."

"Ok, ok." Blitzo furrowed his eyebrows. "Last thing we want is for that kid to worry about this."

"Agreed."

Meanwhile, Cody was listening to some metal music to ease his worries about the whole thing, and tried to relax. Loona was kind enough to give him a a root beer to drink. "How do you feel, kid?"

"I'm ok." Said the kid. "But I'm worried about Stolas. What if he goes on trial?"

"Come on, you don't have to worry about this whole thing. You just keep being happy and life life to the fullest."

"Yeah. I mean, I can't take on Abdrealphus."

"Hell nah." Loona said. "No offense. The Goetia family is home to some of the most powerful demons down here."

"Yeah. I should just call myself lucky to have friends like you guys."

Loona smiled. "Right." She paused for a moment. "And, Cody..." it sounded like she was trying to say something to him. "I'm lucky to have a friend like you." She slightly turned away from him. "And, I don't really like to tell people how I feel."

"I know."

"And don't worry, Loona added, "i'll have you part of my family soon."

"OK, Loona." Cody smiled.

"But you might want to get some sleep. You deserve all the happiness and good that can come to you like any other kid in the world."

"Yeah I still wanna have fun." He looked at his two axes mounted on the wall next to his closet, "should we train tomorrow?"

"Definitely." Loona smiled

The kid out on his pajamas and brushed his teeth before going to bed to prepare for a new day. He thought that he can alway rely on his friends like this whenever he needed help.

Cody even wished he was a Hellhound just for the fun of it and he can try to fight off any demons that would try to eat and or kill him. But, only a boy can dream of such fantasies.

He figured that if his big brother was tough, he can be just like Tommy when he grows up.

As he was done brushing his teeth, he drank the last sips of his drink, and made his way to bed, and he began snoring fifteen minutes later.

The Next Morning

Cody awoken from his slumber and yawned as he got out of bed. "Cody!" Blitzo sang, "I got some news"

"What news?"

"There's going to be a hearing or a trial for Stolas as he will be prosecuted by Abdrealphus by next week."

"Do I have to come?" Asked Cody. "I didn't do anything wrong."

"Yeah, but you were a witness and you can help Stolas clear his name."

"Cody! There's some waffles in the kitchen!" Loona said.

"Coming Loona?" Said Cody.

"But you will be fine. Nothing bad will happen to you."

"I believe you, Blitzo." Said Cody. "I just need to focus on other things."

"Yeah why don't you have a day out with Loona again?"

"Good idea."

The kid went into the kitchen and sat in the dinner table to eat his yummy breakfast in the morning. "Don't worry, there's no Helloxide in them." Loona clarified

"That's good." Cody sounded relief. "I don't want lava to form in me."

"You won't. Not as long as you don't eat it."

"So you wanna do something? I was going to meet Tex and the others at Blood Burger again."

"Yeah that sounds fun." Cody smiled.

"But first I need to take a shower because I smell like an open sewer." She smelled her right armpit and almost gagged. "Yep, I definitely need a shower."
