GUARDIAN DEMON | BL ✔

CHAPTER 72

"What happened after I fell?" 

Kilo looked at the star who was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a solemn expression. Castyr had remained fairly silent since recovering from his latest episode, so Kilo was relieved to hear the star speak...even if it was about that dreadful where he thought he had lost Castyr forever. Kilo took a deep breath before slowly answering, "Everyone disappeared...the king, all the demons, everything...except us."

"Including Denzyl?" Castyr knew that his abilities were specifically for eliminating demons, so he was unsure whether Denzyl had been spared from his blast of light. Castyr nodded in relief when Kilo responded, "Ae, Denzyl was spared."

"Is Ilios really...?" Castyr stopped short when inquiring about his mentor. This was the first time Castyr had asked about that day and what had happened, and Kilo did not want to hide anything from the star, so he nodded in confirmation.

"Ilios is gone."

"And Rae?"

Kilo let out a breath before answering, "Rae is fulfilling Ilios' last wish."

The star nodded in response before inquiring about the demon-human couple.

"As far as I know, Denzyl and Devyn are on Earth running Vaumyr and Co. together," Kilo answered, unaware of the most recent events regarding the couple. "And I'm sure Denzyl has already dealt with Devyn's fiancé."

Castyr nodded before asking about Miren, which Kilo told him about the human helping them get to Mythos. "Orion is working on becoming Aklys' liaison with Heaven," Kilo informed Castyr when asked about the blue-haired angel.

"I hope things work out for them. They've been through a lot." Castyr's voice was low as he wished for the angel-demon couple's well-being, but Kilo was just glad that Castyr was talking even if he could barely hear him.

"I'm sure they'll be fine. They've been fighting to be together for centuries. And now that Aklys is running Hades, they are free," Kilo said in his best attempt to assure the star the couple would be fine. But Castyr knew what the heavens were capable of and hoped they would be left alone. "As long as Heaven doesn't mess with them-" 

The couple's conversation was stopped abruptly when the alarm system to the residence activated and rapid pounding sounded on the door. The angel and star rose to their feet and slowly advanced to the door. Kilo drew his sword as Castyr readied the gun he had picked from the house's safe. Kilo activated the screen as a voice called his name from outside the door.

Kilo's brow furrowed when he recognized the voice. The angel quickly opened the door as the frazzled visitor began inputting the entrance code.

"Kilo!" Devyn's head snapped up as the door was opened. The angel and star stared at the human in shock until Kilo asked, "Devyn, what happened?" The human was fatigued but frantic for something.

"Remember our deal?" Devyn wasted no time in confronting the angel. Kilo nodded. "I need your help."

"What is it?"

"It's Denzyl..." Devyn began, his eyes hard with determination and tinted with fear. "He's been taken."

Needing to understand the severity of the situation, Kilo brought the human inside and sat him down before making Devyn tell him everything. "A demon from Sendrum came and lured Denzyl using you to capture him and brought him back to his home planet where his father is going to either kill him or do something awful to him," Kilo summed up the human's story.

"Yes, and I need to get him out of there before that happens. Please, Kilo," Devyn was sincere as he begged the angel. "I need your help."

Exhaling, Kilo looked over to Castyr who had been silent since Kilo had opened the door. The star was healthy, fit, and aching to get out of the residence he had been resting in for months. Knowing Castyr was itching to do something, he thought this rescue mission to be perfect. "When do we leave?" Kilo asked Devyn, who sighed in relief.
