The three kings of hell

The circus

A/N Jack is the only one of the friends appearing in this episode only for a cameo though as this episode mostly focuses on Stolas

[The episode opens with an exterior shot of Paimon's mansion. Cut to Young Stolas asleep in his bed, surrounded by stuffed animals while hugging one resembling a demonic Max from Sam & Max. Stolas wakes up, yawns, and smacks his lips.]

Stolas (Young): *eyes shoot open in realization and sits up* My birthday, my birthday! It's my birthday!

[Stolas leaps out of the sheets and lands on all fours on the floor. He runs off to his dressing room, arms raised in excitement as an Imp butler walks into view to attend to him.]

Stolas (Young): Yaaaay! Birthday, birthday! WOOHOO! Birthday tiiiiime!

[Mister Butler opens a tin of hair gel and begins applying it to Stolas.]

Mister Butler: Calm yourself, young prince. You know excitement is unbecoming of a Goetia.

Stolas (Young): Oh! *calms down* Right.

[Stolas takes a deep breath to calm himself. As Mister Butler walks off to retrieve Stolas' vest and cape, returning to put them on him.]

Stolas (Young): But, Father told me, today is the day, I am old enough to know my purpose and responsibility! *eyes sparkle with glee*

Mister Butler: Of course. *places a crown on Stolas' head* I'm sure it will be wonderful.

[Stolas follows the butler out of the dressing room down a large hallway. The wall is lined with four giant pictures of Stolas at various prior ages. The first shows Stolas in his egg, sat upon a pillow and topped with a crown. The second shows him as a hatchling swaddled up in his crib, his swaddling cloth held together by a pin bearing the Goetia family insignia. He is accompanied by the demon Max plush seen earlier and a star shaped pillow. The third shows him as what can be assumed to be a toddler, smiling as he hugs the demon Max plush. The fourth and final shows him in his current on-screen appearance, hugging the demon Max plush as an unknown creature drips green slime on his head.]

[Scene cuts to Stolas and the butler standing in front of large double doors, which open to reveal a throne room. Paimon, Stolas' father and King of the Ars Goetia, is seen sitting on the throne in his monstrous black demon form. He stands up, his form shifting to display various demonic creatures as he transforms into his normal, bird-like self. The butler walks over to Paimon and stands next to him as Stolas approaches his father.]

Paimon: Ahhhh! There is my little, uh...

[Stolas smiles gleefully up at his father.]

Paimon: *whispers to butler while pointing at Stolas* Which son is this one? There's so fucking many.

Mister Butler: Stolas, your highness.

Paimon: Stolas! Yes! Ha! Right, right! *chuckles* That's the one! *begins walking toward Stolas* The owl boy.

[Cuts to Paimon standing in front of little Stolas.]

Paimon: *leans toward Stolas, surprising him* Well, my little one, *stands upright and walks behind Stolas* it is finally your day of becoming a true part of the Goetia family. How good for you. Are you ready to know what you'll be meant to do to serve Hell?

Stolas (Young): Yes, Father!

[Paimon opens some kind of portal to the cosmos as he speaks, showing Stolas the stars he is meant to study. Two comets, blue and pink, respectively, fly out of the portal and up out of view.]

Paimon: You will be entrusted with the study of the Earth's skies, the stars, the prophecies they hold, all that stuff. *closes the portal and summons a grimoire* Isn't that fun? You will begin the studies of your grimoire, which will grant you access to the mortal realm to study and observe, *levitates the Grimoire to Stolas who is bouncing with excitement* and you will grow to be a mighty Prince of Hell, with your own legions to lead and pass on your knowledge to!
