Sunlight poured through the window, Blue poked his head up to the glass. Kalos woke up and smiled, "Good morning Blue," he yawned as he sat up in his bed. "I'm supposed to meet Belial today," he got up and pulled out his red robe, he quickly put it on. Kalos pulled open the drawer, took out the locket, "Might as well," he said to himself, sliding the chain over his head. The last touch is to brush out his hair, three knocks on his door, "Come in," Kalos called, Jenny opened the door with a bag in her hand, "Okay, you know the drill, Rapunzel," Kalos laughed, "Alright, I'll pull out a chair." Jenny suggested, "How about the washroom, that way I could wash your hair and cut it. When was the last time you had a bath?" Kalos rubbed the back of his head, "Yesterday?" Jenny rolled her eyes, "And then you killed people after the wash, you smell awful." 

They walked downstairs into the washroom, the walls made of large stone, the cobble floors, a large tub in the center. Jenny picked up a stool and placed it in front of the tub, she set down her bag and opened it, the bag contained a pair of scissors, a comb, a brush, and some hair pins. Kalos sat on the stool, "How is this gonna start?" he asked Jenny, "First, I need to wash your hair, that way Leroy and Belial don't think you're a dirty man." Jenny washed his hair, Kalos giggled a little. As Jenny brushed and cut his hair, it dried slowly. Kalos' hair is now to the middle of his shoulder blades. 

Jenny and Kalos waited at the garden, Blue sat next to Kalos and wagged his tail. Jenny stood still like a statue, a wyvern sat next to her, still as well. The wyvern had scales the same color as Jenny's hair, it's eyes were red, a bright, red barb as the tip of the tail, it has two legs and two large wings, the webbing is a lighter brown. The head of the wyvern was triangular, red horns curved up and back from the head, it looked almost like a dragon. 

Kalos poked Jenny's cheek, she didn't move a muscle. He was about to poke her cheek again when Leroy walked into the garden, "I apologize for the wait, the servants are rather stupid... Meet my eldest son, Belial Agner." A tall man, about the same height as Kalos walked out of the building, he was lean, had pale skin. His eyes were a different color, his left eye was violet, and his right eye was fern green, his chocolate brown hair, reaching the bottom of his shoulder blades, was done in a Semi-Dutch braid. His cheeks and nose were covered in freckles, he wore a pair of glasses with a gold colored frame. He had a face that showed youth and mature, his jaw and chin were squared. His attire is a dark blue sweater, a pair of pants, and shoes.

Jenny, Kalos, Blue, and the wyvern dropped their lower jaws at the sight of Belial. "Is something wrong?" Belial asked, he farrowed his brows out of concern, Jenny asked Leroy, "Are you sure this is your child?" Leroy asked offended, "Yes, Are you saying we don't look alike?" Kalos blinked his eyes, "Belial is a young man women want to get together with, and you are an old man full of wrinkles and nobody wants to date you. Your child looks nothing like you. How old are you Belial?" Belial replied, he crossed his arms, "I'm twenty seven, I thought this would be different than what is being exchanged." Leroy patted Belial's back, "I wasn't expecting this either, I will go fetch the butler. Kalos, Jenny, you two stay and chat with my son, I want all three of you to know each other better." 

"So, why haven't we seen you before today?" Kalos asked, Belial answered while smiling and looking around him, "My father never lets me out of my room for any day of the year, unless it's my birthday, he lets me go out and roam around the area of my home during the day. He said I was never allowed to talk to any of the servants of this place, I wasn't allowed to have any friends either." Jenny looked at the boy with pure sorrow, "I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting that," Belial responded, "It's okay, I'm not mad. Besides, when my father said I was being let out of my room until my coronation day, I was thrilled. I'm still happy I get to meet you guys, this is the happiest moment of my life." Belial hugged Jenny and Kalos. Kalos never thought of any heir to the thrown of all kingdoms he had seen, to be so kind, and better looking than their parents. 

Blue licked the trio just like a dog, the hug ended, and Kalos scratched Blue's cheek. "Sorry about that, he gets really friendly when it came anybody that is not an enemy," Kalos explained as Blue sat and his leg started to thump the ground. Belial chuckled, "I don't mind, he is your companion after all. I read about wooly dragons, if they behave like your dragon does, they love you." Jenny smiled, Kalos looked at her, "What a rare sight to see Jenny crack a smile," Jenny replied, "It is rare for you to not tease me about my height or my facial expressions." 

Leroy came back out with the butler dressed in a tuxedo, "May I introduce you to the heir to the throne?" Leroy asked, the butler replied, "You mean your only son now?" Leroy gave the butler a dirty look, "Meet Belial Agner, he will be your king," Belial called out, "Please, call me Bell." Leroy announced, "Tonight, we will have a feast to celebrate Belial's twenty seventh birthday." Bell recalled, "My birthday was a week ago," Leroy tapped his chin, "Than we are having a feast because my son is going to learn what it is like to be king."

The dining table was cleaned spotless, a white cloth covered the surface and draped over the edges. Three candle holders stood down the table. A large creature that is a lion, with a goat's head on the shoulder, and a snake's head as the tail, sat next to Leroy's chair. The chimera lay onto it's stomach and fell asleep.
