(Meanwhile, in Heaven)
The moment Zarathos, Emily, and their son, Zara, re-entered Heaven through the gates, there was great shock and surprise upon seeing him again. Every angels and Winners thought he was gone, supposingly assumed dead. Zarathos and Emily did their best to calm the noise down, and with the help of the Archangels, St. Michael and Gabriel, Emily was able to convince them all that they will hold a meeting in Heaven's courtroom to discuss this surprising situation.

Presently, Sera called all the angels to gather into the courtroom for the meeting, with Emily sitting by her right side, and discuss everything Zarathos has been through over so many years. As every upper hierarchy angels began to take their seats, Zara was talking with his father for a short while, before flying up to sit by his mother. No one heard their conversation, and Zarathos stood right in the middle of the courtroom.
Sera: Angels of Heaven. We are gathered here today, to discuss all of the recent events that Zarathos has suffered through, after having been gone for such a long time. To see what has transpired when he was under control of this demon Overlord. Zarathos. Tell us. What happened the day you went missing from Heaven?
Thinking back to that fateful day, Zarathos closed his eyes, sighed, and spoke loud and clear.
Zarathos: Emily and I were enjoying our day together in Heaven, when Adam came up to me, telling me that a rogue demon was loose in the desert. I thought of it a little suspicious, at first, because I can sense whether a demon is hiding among the living. But, against my better judgement, I followed him to the desert. It was going to be a routine patrol, but... at that moment, I was tricked... by Adam, Lute, and his Exorcists angels!
The members of the courtroom, except Zara, and Emily, and even Sera, gasped quietly, and murmured to each other, until another voice cried out.
Zarathos: They shot arrows upon me, wrapped me in chains, and sent me straight to-
Adam: Bullshit!
At that moment, Adam and Lute flew in together, and sat in their usual seats, while glaring at Zarathos, who was giving his own glare at them. Sera, who was slightly annoyed for Adam and Lute arriving late, calmly addressed them.
Sera: Adam. I am "glad" that you've arrived.
Adam: Yeah, same here. What this bastard just said is just plain loco! That day, we were just chillin' out in the desert, nothing reckless, but then, Zarathos here went all savage, and tried to maim the hell outta' me! I escaped, and knowing I'd tattletale on him, he just fuckin' flew away like a coward!
