Forgotten memories

Each others father

A man sits in the middle of the room. He grins disapprovingly, and his wings are a resting state.

"Let's see what my son is doing now..."

He moves his hand in a strange way and makes some magical orb where he sees his son. He placed his elbow on the armrest of his throne and supported his hand in his palm. He watches wickedly. What did Eirix do in yesterday night.

He always keeps his eyes on him.
The king watched every day Eirix because he was afraid that his people were finding out "little secret." He thinks his son was cursed by a demon.

He brushed his hair behind his ears and still watches his son and Nayuta.

"Oh, he's really like that boy... How interesting I'm curious about when he is disappointed in him..."

In the morning, Eirix wakes up. The fresh morning sun illuminates him. He feels drowsy and unwell. Sits up tiredly, and looks around the room. The light makes more visible the tiny room. The walls are grey and a little dirty. The two beds are comfortless. Next to the beds were two nightstands and a lamp.

Eirix head was hurt, and his ears were ringing. He holds his head and groans in pain. A few moments later, someone knocks on the door, and the sound of knocking really bothers him. The door opens, and Nayuta enters the room.

"The sleepyhead was awake" he says soft tone and smiles.

"What happened? My head hurts, and I feel dizzy..." mumbled and doesn't look at him because the light bothers him, too.

"Oh, you have a hangover. You drink too much" Nixie enters the room.

"Agh, what should I do now?"

"Just drink some water, and it makes things a little better" Nayuta replied and hands him a glass of water and sits down next to him.

"And what will you do today?" Nixie asks, and she sits down on the other bed in front of the two boys.

"I can introduce to you my old friend... And we need warmer clothes for him, and he can make fancy clothing, because he's stylish"

"That sounds good... Can I go with you?"

"Sure"

They heard some noises from outside, but they ignored that.

"What was that sound?" Eirix asks a little confused.

"Just some people from the other room"

Nayuta has a bad feeling about it. He hears the noise come closer. He quickly grabs a knife.
"Watch out!" Nayuta exclaimed.

Eirix uses his power and makes a blade around his hand. A few moments later, four devils kick the door and attack the friends. Nixie grabs a knife from her pocket. A devil grabs Eirix crop top and pins him at the wall and puts a knife in front of his neck. When the devil sees his different eye, steps back a little. Eirix kicks him and dodges himself with his wings and suddenly cuts a devil's chest.

A young boy broke the window and cut his own hand with a broken piece of glass. The boy was a devil, too. He has dark brown hair with which has red stripes. His blood drips on the floor and suddenly ignites.

"Hurry, follow me! Now!" he exclaimed.

They just follow the strange devil wordless. Soon, they arrive at an abandoned, messy house. Nayuta gets a little angry and nervous because of the strange devil.

"Wait, who are you? Why are you here, and why are you helping us?" he queried.

Rune, the stange devil boy, just continued and opened the house door. The house was dusty and empty. Just a few pieces of furniture were in the house. Rune enters the room and invites them in. He turns to them and smiles respectfully bows.

"Prince" he said in a lower tone.

Their eyes widen from the surprise. Eirix legs start to shake. He wants to run, but he can't move. He didn't want to go back to his father, he was really afraid of him. When he finally turns around, Nayuta grabs his hand. His warm touch claims down him a little, but he can't go now.

"Are you looking for him?" Nayuta asks and tries to hold Eirix close to himself.

"No, sorry... I..I don't know who he is..." Rune mumbles. "I think I was wrong. I... I... just looking for the prince of hell. I thought it was you"

The devil boy just looks at the ground and rubs his head. Eirix feels a relief, but he tries to stay close to Nayuta.

"Then, who are you?" Nayuta questioned, and he seems suspicious .

"I'm Rune, and I'm a devil and one of the messengers of hell, and I must find the long lost prince. Then who are you?"

"What if we help you?" Eirix asks and rests his head on Nayuta's shoulder. " And can you tell us what does the prince looks like? Oh- sorry, I forgot... I'm Eirix, and he is Nayuta, and the girl is Nixie..."

"Nice to meet you... The prince looks like Nayuta. I thought it was him because of the strioes under his eyes. The prince has the same mark. But the devils are in your room... why was attack you?"

"I don't know"

"Everybody is okay?"

"Yeah, I think."

Eirix looks around and trying to find any injuries on them. He noticed a cut on Nixie's neck, what she tries to cover with her hand.

"Nixie, your neck... Can I help you" says a worried tone and slowly walks at her.

"No... no, I'm fine, don't worry..."

"You're bleeding. Just let me see your injury"

"No... no... don't touch me!" she exclaims and steps back a little. "I'm sorry but... please, I can take care of myself.

"Okay"

"What do you want to do no-?" Rune asks.

"We need to meet with my friend. So now we need to go" Nayuta cuts off.

"But you can go with us" Eirix smiles.

Nayuta didn't want to contradict Eirix, so he just nodded.

"Okay, so let's go"
