Lucien walked around Cerberus' castle, a group of guards catching up to him. "Hey! King Lucien!" A guard said, making Lucien turn and look at him. "Hello?" Lucien asked. "We were wondering if you could show us some fighting skills in the guard lounge." Another guard asked, smiling. Lucien agreed and was lead towards the guard lounge, it was strangely empty. "Wheres Morwen?" Lucien asked before a guard grabbed him, covering his mouth. The guards opened a portal, taking them underground into the abandoned dungeon of the castle, Lucien was thrown to the ground in a cell. Lucien cried, seeing the guards chuckling, a guard stepped up, seeming to be a leader. "You idiot. We dont want your fucking teaching. Cerberus wants you gone." He said. "W-What..?" Lucien muttered. "He wants you dead, you're too much of a hazard to him. He doesnt love you, Lucien." The guard hissed, grabbing Lucien's wrist, removing his ring from his hand. "No-!!! Please-!" Lucien cried, the man threw him backwards, slamming the cell door shut. "Keep an eye on him." The man said, walking off as the three other guards snickered at Lucien, spitting at him. Other maids and butlers joined to laugh at Lucien, guards ripped and tore at his clothing, kicking at him.
"Lucien? Luuuciii!" Cerberus called for Lucien while walking around the castle, Volker right behind him. "Maybe hes back in his castle?" Volker asked. "Misty didnt find him.." Cerberus said worriedly. "Luci! Please!" Cerberus cried, noticing the lead guard walk up to him. "Everything okay sir?" The guard said. "Lucien's missing, have you seen him?" Cerberus asked, the guard shook his head, "ill let you know if i see him sir." He said, nodding to Cerberus before walking off. Cerberus sighed, walking into his office with Volker, noticing a phone on his desk. He grabbed the phone, seeing it was a video up on the screen. Cerberus and Volker watched the video, it was Lucien being abused by multiple people, cut, kicked, hit, bruised. His leg had a large gash in it, he was bleeding all over the floor. Cerberus stopped the video, standing up.
"...Volker, grab your bat."
Cerberus and Volker walked down the hallway to the door to the dungeon, Cerberus recognizing the area Lucien was in. He kicked the door open, walking in, the door to the dungeon's cells was guarded by two guards. "S-Sir-!" One guard stammered, looking at Cerberus nervously. "W-What brings you down here?" "Where is my husband." Cerberus glared down at the guards, holding his blackmetal axe tightly. "We dont know sir, i cannot let you through these doors though, its dangerous.." the guard said, gripping his sword. "Let me through, thats an order." Cerberus demanded. Volker was immediately grabbed from behind, a knife to his throat. Volker slammed his back into a wall, breaking free. The two guards immediately slashed at Cerberus, slicing at his arm. Cerberus' wounds healed immediately, he slammed the top of his axe into one of the guard's stomach, making them fall. He slashed at the guard, killing them, the other guard was hit in the back of the head by Volker, dropping. Cerberus stomped on their head, crushing it violently.
Cerberus kicked the door open, immediately being slashed at by more guards. Cerberus grabbed a guard by his head, crushing his skull easily, Volker slammed his knee into one of the guards, then punched them in the face, knocking them out. Once the two finished with the guards, Cerberus walked up to a cell, seeing Lucien lying in the cell, sobbing. "Lucien-!" Cerberus said worriedly, trying to open the door to the cell. He groaned in anger, ripping the lock out of its socket, opening the door violently. He rushed over to Lucien, who stood up, hugging Cerberus tightly. "Hey hey its okay, im here." Cerberus said softly to Lucien. "Im so sorry Cerberus-!" Lucien sobbed. "What-?" Cerberus questioned. "They said you wanted me dead...t-that you didnt want me..t-they took my ring..." Lucien cried, gripping onto Cerberus. Cerberus fell silent, Volker noticed the look in his eyes, he was enraged. Cerberus got up, noticing someone swiftly leave the dungeon. "Take care of Lucien, Ill be back." Cerberus said before leaving the dungeon after the person, Volker rushed over to Lucien, picking him up.
Cerberus chased the lead guard all the way to the guard lounge where he locked the door, making Cerberus unable to get in. Cerberus felt his blood boil, grabbing the door knob, ripping the entire door off its hinges. He threw the door behind him, walking over to the guard. "S-Sir-!!" The guard cried, Cerberus saw red, grabbing the guard by his neck, holding him up. Cerberus' hands blackened, the guard's veins on his neck and face blackened, he began to gasp for air in agony. Cerberus dropped the guard as he gasped more, beginning to cough up blood. Cerberus kicked the guard to the ground, stomping on his ribs, cracking them with ease. The guard was rotted by Cerberus' powers. Cerberus' hands went back to normal, he grabbed the ring from the guards pocket and walked back to the dungeon, seeing Volker standing outside the door with Lucien, who was now passed out. "H-He wont wake up-!" Volker cried, looking panicked. Volker laid Lucien down on the floor, the two kneeling infront of him. Cerberus sighed and his hands blackened once more, he set his hands on Lucien's thigh, over his wound. The veins on Lucien's thighs turned black, beginning to heal itself. The wound healed fully, Cerberus taking his hands to hold Lucien's, putting the ring back on his hand as Lucien began to wake up. Lucien's eyes fluttered open, looking at the two. "Mmn..Cerberus.?" Lucien mumbled, noticing the ring on his finger was back. Cerberus immediately hugged Lucien tightly, picking him up. Lucien smiled and hugged Cerberus.
