The Lost Morningstar

🌷Chapter 42🌷

Asmodeus POV:

I'm grateful for the winter coats Auroramade otherwise I'd be an icicle with how cold the temperature has dropped. It's ironic that we have snow in Hell but after Salem introduced us to Christmas we couldn't get enough of it hence why he created the arctic where most of the town's folk go during the festive times, the warlocks have congregated here most likely due to the fact that no-one visits here because of how cold it can get plus it makes a grear hide away from the real world.

It would make sense to bring Cerventes here where they have all the time to do as they please but not on my watch. As Aurora and I near the camp we see that we are clearly outnumbered by how many warlocks are here so our plan is to locate Cerventes and quickly get out all in one go, I make us turn invisible and create a telepathic link that helps us communicate without talking aloud.

We hover over the ground to avoid any of our foot prints to be seen by the wandering warlocks.

"I'm getting the sense that Cerventes is be kept in their medical facilities." Aurora communicates via our link. "The boys at the bar said the centre tent is where they go to heal."

"Then that's our first location." We carefully make our way unknown towards the medical tent in hopes that we catch Cerventes however upon entering we find it empty with no-one inside, this gives us time to search for clues on his whereabouts.

"Either they lied to me or we are late."

"There has to be some form of clue to tell us where he's at...in a span of few hours there's no way he'd be fully healed with the wounds he sustained not to mention he lost his power rendering him weak, there's something off about this place." Something about this doesn't sit right in my spirits.

As we look around more I read over the files of who's been treated but no mention of Cerventes.

"I found something." Aurora says as I go over to here I spot drops of blood on the floor next to a bed. "It could be his...do your blood magic thing." Bossy much? As I rub the red liquid on my fingers I determine that it is in fact Cerventes's blood that has been left here. "So if that's him then where the fuck is he?"

"A place you'll never find." We turn back to the voice and see warlocks with their wands pointed at us. "Now you have two options...number one is that you leave in peace...number two is you leave in pieces. Pick wisely."

"Awww the little boys with sticks wanna play." Aurora teases them. "I'll give you one option so little up worm." She's gonna get me killed with get childish antics. "You tell is where Cerventes is in exchange we'll spare your life." The leader laughs as the rest follow on but all become silent when Aurora snaps her fingers Thanos style and all their wands snap in half. "Scrape the deal I'll have fun killing you instead." Before I can stop the crazy bitch from attacking she viciously assaults the leader as I deflect incoming attacks by other warlocks.

"We're outnumbered you idoit! Why oh why would you mock then attack?" I say blasting back a group that's incoming.

"Where's your sense of danger?" She screams before sinking her teeth into one poor guys neck. "I FEEL ALIVE!" I can see why father doesn't take her on such missions...she truly is wild.

As Aurora goes into a frenzy I take on the leader who's managed to get a new wand. "Insolent child Cerventes was right you are a pain." I'm glad he thinks of me.

"Tell us where he is and your people live to fit another day." I try to reason knowing it's not gonna work.

"Never." So be it maybe a beat down will do it.

We engage in a magic battle with him summoning vines to bury me down but I cut through them and levitate in the air before raining down bolts of lightening at him, he reflects a bolt back at me that I nearly miss dodging but with me distracted he throws a boulder at me knocking me out of the tent and into the snowy floor.
