Interworlder:Son Of Kings

chapter 6

Suddenly someone caught Nicolas after the second try. Nicolas looked at her red eyes and dark hair in terror bit before he could cry out she shushed him. "Shhhh... I won't hurt ya."
Nicolas relieved saw Supro was leaned against a tree snoozing.
Nicolas looked at her long and hard. "You-you're a demon."
"Guess it's understandable that you don't recognize me." she sighed. She looked to see Supro taking a nap. "Seemed Miles is happy."
"That's my angel dad. Demons aren't supposed to be here." Whispered Nicolas. "Did Mr.Gon send you? Tell him I miss him a lot and his plan worked. My dad found me but my mom tried to kill me... he saw. Can you tell him that...?"
She hugged Nicolas tight. "I'm so sorry."
"Is he d-dead?" Nicolas's eyes started up with tears.
"No he's alive. He's alright, I made sure of it."
"Thank you." Nicolas vanished out of her arms. Grabbing her hand he shook it. "I'm Nicolas I'm a regal hybrid."
"Illegal hybrid."
"Right." Smiled Nicolas. "Everyone just calls me a monster too so I'm not very liked... anywhere."
The demon grabbed his little horn. "You have cute little horns. Somehow you haven't broke them yet."
"My dad said the same." He looked at her funny. "What's your name?"
"Infra."
The boy stumbled back away from her and summoned his sword. "You hurt Mr.Gon."
"I'm not here to fight. Just apologize for being an asshole."
"So you won't hurt me?"
"No if I wanted to I already would have."
"Are you really my mom?"
"Yeah... sorry about..." Nico hugged her. She couldn't help but smile.
"I have a mom." cried Nicolas. "Now I can finally have a happy family."
"Nicolas I can't stay. I came to meet you, it the least I can do. You're such a good kid."
"But dad likes you a lot. He told me you didn't want me and hated him but your here now so you can tell him you don't and stuff."
"I don't hate him, just angels and demons aren't meant to be together."
"I know but we could go to the human world and live there together. I know a place. Mr.Gon told me about a town of flowers."
"I wish but you're better off here with your father." She looked to Supro.
"When I'm big I can fix everything. Then you can be with dad. Then you can be happy too."
"You're such a good kid. Labeling you a monster is cruel." She picked him up. "So cute too but you're an asura. If only he didn't ruin any chance for your kind."
"Who was he?"
Supro's blade stood an inch from Infra's neck. "A monster." Spat Supro.
Infra set the boy down. "Calm down, Miles."
"Nicolas." Ordered Supro.
Nicolas ran over to him. "She didn't..."
Infra vanished behind Supro with her blade drawn to his neck. Supro grabbed the blade as it burned his hand. "Why are you here?!"
Infra released the blade and sighed. "To meet the boy and kind of apologize... he didn't seem to hold anything against me."
"Oh... um... uh... well..." Supro was at a loss of words.
"This isn't a good place to talk. Meet me in interworld." She vanished.
Nicolas tugged on Supro's shirt. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." he patted the boys head. "I'm alright."
"Will we be a family?"
"No... they'll never happen." Supro walked away.
"Dad?" Nicolas asked.
Supro continued. "Not now, Nicolas."
"Why?" He ran over to Supro reaching out for his hand.
"I can't trust your mother. I need to think."
"What about flying?"
"Later."
Nicolas stopped where he stood as Supro left him there. Sitting alone in the courtyard he sat waiting. Waiting till dark. Looking up at the darkening sky.
"Hey, buddy. Why are you still out here?" Asked Supro.
"I was waiting for you." Answered Nicolas.
"Oh... well its late now. I should've come got you earlier."
"I can wait."
"Well I'm going to go see what your mother wants. You're welcome to come just know if anything bad happens run. I'll come find you once it's over."
"Okay."
"Good... good." He set Nicolas on his feet. "We're going now."
"Alright."
Opening a portal he passed through, Nicolas followed. Leading to a small town in Interworld he brought the boy to a bar. Holding his hand as they went in. The tender welcomed them in. "Well, well it's been a long time, Miles."
"I've been busy." Said Supro as he set Nicolas on one of the seats at the counter.
"Busy huh. Your kid?"
"Yeah. This is Nicolas."
"No wonder your busy." he looked at Nicolas. "Well hey there, want me to get you some orange juice?"
"Yes, sir." Answered Nicolas.
"Alright, I'll get it right away."
Nicolas looked at Supro who was on edge. Nico tugged on his sleeve. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Just thinking. Don't worry about me."
Joining them was Infra. Took a seat next to Nicolas. "You brought the boy."
"Thought you might wanna see him."
Infra looked at the boy drinking his orange juice. "I came here to talk."
"Then let's talk."
"Fine. The hell do we do now that everyone knows?"
"Well Allah does know about him and doesn't mind him being here."
"Said the same with Asura's but we saw how he reigned..."
"True. So what do we do?"
"The demon counsel won't approve but I can sneak him around my place."
"He can stay with me in Overworld, it's safer."
"Well I wanna get to know him. According to Indra the people we left him with died and he lived on the streets for quite a while." She grabbed Nicolas's cheek. "You've been on your own for too long. Along comes all these beings making decisions for you. Is there anything you want?"
Nicolas thought for a moment. "I want to see Mr.Gon."
"Indra?"
"He was the 1st... to see me not as a monster."
Infra looked to Nicolas with a smile. "It's funny that you say that. Before you were born he still saw you as an equal. Telling me it didn't matter what you were, just that you were my kid. Indra had a tough child hood too being a cambion."
Supro grabbed Nico's horn and shook his little head again. "Don't be so down, I'm sure you'll see him again."
"Would you like to?"
"Yes, very very much." Begged Nicolas.
"Alright with you?" Infra asked Supro.
"If you do anything to him I will do everything in my power to kill you." Replied Supro.
"Alrighty them. Papa bear is already protective." Smiled Infra. "I'll meet you back here in a few, alright?"
"That's fine. Just please be careful with him."
"I will." She stood up and picked up Nicolas. "Ready?"
"Yeah."
"Almighty." The two vanished.
The bartender asked Supro. "You guys together or...?"
"Na, the boy been staying with me. She wanted to see him."
"Ah I see. Didn't work out. You're not the only one, man."
"It was complicated."
"I won't pry. Just take care of that boy. Kid needs both parents."
"I know." Supro sat worried. "Can I get my usual?"
"No problem."
In underworld Infra walked Nicolas into the castle. "You've been here already..."
Nicolas ran off looking around for Indra. Running to his room to see it empty. Infra vanished over to where Nicolas was at.
"Where's Mr.Gon?" Asked Nicolas.
"In prison." Answered Infra.
"Can I see him?"
"Alright. Just stay close."
Walking to the prison. Nicolas followed close behind Infra. Holding her hand as they passed the criminals until they arrived at Indra's cell. He laid on the poorly made bed. Nothing but a pair of shorts and a feather tied around his neck.
Nicolas ran up to the cage bars. "Mr.Gon!"
Indra muttered then sat up. "What?"
"It's me Mr.Gon!"
He looked to see Nicolas standing outside his cell. "The hell are you here?"
"I came to see you."
He stood up and stumbled over to Nicolas. "Did your dad find you?"
"Yeah your plan worked."
"That's good. He treat you good?"
"Yeah." Nicolas slipped between the bars to Indra. Hugging him, he cried. "Thank you for everything."
"Don't be such a baby. You're alright. You've got your parents now."
"But you helped me find them."
"Exactly so you don't need me." He looked to Infra. "What do you plan on doing?"
"I'm not sure yet."
"Well make up your mind."
She waved Nicolas over to her. "Ready to go?"
"Yeah." He slipped through the cells bars. "By Mr.Gon."
"See ya, Nicolas." Smiled Indra.
"Head out for a second Nicolas, I'll meet you at the steps."
Nicolas listened and ran off toward the steps.
"You didn't kill him."
"I couldn't bring myself to... when he saw me he saw me like anyone else until I said who I was and he was terrified... I couldn't hurt him... he was too innocent. He really is like you."
"No he's more optimistic than me. When I first came here I hated everything, he was so happy to have just to have someone. I hated Iblis, I hated dad and everything else. I was too old to be changed so easily. A rebellious teen who wished for nothing different. Just wanted to go back to my home in the town of flowers, now I can't say the same. I don't hate Nicolas. He deserves a chance, he'll be something amazing."
"Or terrifying."
"I think with Supro he'll be fine. If he does end up like Asura were screwed... well not me but you and everyone else." Laughed Indra.
"You twisted fuck."
"You know how strong he'll be? Every gen is stronger than the last be he's of royal blood he's beyond stronger, you and Supro will stand no chance against him. He's still a kid but the teens will creep in and he'll blame you and Supro for a lot. You two deserve it anyway." Indra snickered. "Have fun dealing with that. He'll be just like Asura."
"Don't say that! He's different."
"How?"
In the distance he saw Nicolas open a dimensional rift. "I got it!" He yelled as he hopped to Interworld.
"Nicolas!" Yelled Infra but it was too late. "Dammit! What's wrong with you?"
"I'm only playing my roll."
"I'll kill you!"
"Oh? Kill me? Nicolas's savior. Ha good luck with that you wanna die first."
"He won't be that way, I'll make sure."
"Did you not pay attention to how Asura became what he was? He was raised by the angels and realized how different he was and how much stronger he was and went challenging everyone until the king tried to stop him and Asura wiped the floor with him. He ruined the angels the council wouldn't give him the throne so he challenged them all and Allah kicked him out of the overworld. He moved onto the Underworld where Iblis tried to use him as a weapon then he challenged our grandfather and killed him. Iblis kicked him out of the Underworld. In interworld he took all the rouge angels and demons then made an army to take on both kingdoms. Our father and Supro's fought against him and died weakling him so Iblis and Allah could send him to purgatory. Now Nicolas is going to Overworld to do the exact same."
"You're crazy, make up your mind on him."
"He's a good kid just know you're below him, Infra. So low."
"Why you..."
"He'll remember what wrong you did by him."
"I never hurt him."
"You tried once before and abandoned him. He's young and forgiving but when he grows he'll realize what he went through was your fault. When dad came for me I wanted to kill him so bad for making me and my mother suffer on our own without him. Nicolas will grow and realize how much you're to blame, yes Supro agreed with you making Nicolas to overworld."
Infra knew he was right. She wanted to forget having Nicolas. Now she can't. She walked away from Indra. He sat down and sighed. Looking at the feather about his neck he smiled. "You're not a monster Nicolas, you don't need her. Just be yourself and not Asura."
