Thirty Three: Let The Battle Begin

Still Worth Fighting For by My Darkness Days

-Sirius-

It's time. We are ready for the battle to begin, but first I'm going to give everyone one last prep talk. This plan has to work. After everything that I've done, everything I've been through this has to work. I can't let Cordelia down. I can't. She's my soulmate, she's my future, she's the girl that always infuriates me but overall I still want to protect her. I don't know how to feel, how to control it but do I really have too? I have no one to ask about this. My father never experience this with his soulmate, and my mother is gone. I hate this feeling, but at the same time I never want it to go away. Why is this happening to me? Is this what happens when you have a soulmate?

I let out a sigh as I try to push these feelings back for now, as I look up at my troops. Everyone is standing in a straight line, with there arms by there sides staring at me as they wait for my orders. Even my father is doing this action. It's odd to see this from the King of Hell, but then again maybe he's doing this for a purpose. I don't mean it's because he wants to help save Cordelia, because I already know he doesn't want too. At least not willingly. There's a different purpose but I'm not quite sure what it is yet, but maybe I shouldn't worry about that right now. I should worry about Cordelia, and saving her life along with our future. The future that got messed up by so many people. I clench my fists together as I take a deep breath. I look at everyone as I clasp my hands behind my back, trying to look as professional as I can. Here we go.

"Listen up everyone. I know most of you don't like or don't know Cordelia, but she's my soulmate. I'm saving her if you guys like it or not. Now, even though she's one of our priorities but Alistair is our biggest priority. He must be stopped once and for all. I know most of you guys must know how powerful Alistair is, and that's why this is a life and death situation. Some of you may not come back alive, but if my plan works then most if not all will make it out alive. I'm trying to save my soulmate, but I'm also trying to get rid of a big threat here. I know that we can do this, together if we actually work together. I know some of you hate each other as well, but think to yourselves. Do you want to continue hating each other and possibly die? Or, do you want to get along for a bit to take down a big threat and survive? It's your choice, as I won't stop you but think as you will not only be putting yourselves in danger but everyone else. Including me, my father, and everyone here. If you have someone who you do actually care for, then you would be putting them in danger instead because you didn't want to put aside your differences. I don't care. I really don't, as I'm your Prince but if you get someone who I care for dead. If it's one of my friends, Cordelia, anyone. Then, don't expect to live much longer." I tell them my inspirational and scary speech.

They stand there as they listened to my speech, and I actually felt great giving it. I've never really gave a speech before, but I think I gave a really good one. If it works, then I'll know. I glance over at everyone, and some seem to be thinking about something while one looks a bit afraid. Vetis isn't showing any emotion while my father is just giving me a smirk. Why? Why is he smirking? I thought glaring at him. Did he think my speech was funny, because I didn't think it was. I don't have time to start an argument with him, because there's a few more things I have to say before we can officially move out to save Cordelia and stop Alistair.

"Is there any questions anyone has before we move out?" I ask flatly.

"Yes. Um, I have a question." A demon says stepping forward.

"Okay? What's your name?" I ask not even knowing his name.

"I-uh my name is Balan and my question to you is that how do you know that this human is your soulmate?" He asks with a raised eyebrow.
