My Princess

Day 21: Rise and Fall

Malicore was in his room, trying to master his power. He still had little to no control over it and would almost kill himself if he goes to crazy. He would burn up and overheat. The only way to "cool off" was to absorb the life out of another with equal power, which was almost impossible with how badly Hell is balanced. He was weak, but never showed it. He tried to conseal his pain as best he could, but his will wasnt strong enough.

"What is wrong, sir," said one of his underlings.

"Nothing, I'm fine. What is it, what do you want?"

His follower was shaking a little, sensing his master's rage. "Y-you have a visitor. A very... important visitor."

Malicore sat there for a moment, pondering what he's been told. He looks at his servant and saw great fear in his eyes. "This person MUST be important to have you be shaking like this. Who is it?"

The demon said, "the Radio Demon..."

Malicore didn't believe his ears, he thought he misheard. He took a moment to find himself and spoke in a calm, almost cocky voice, "well then, we mustn't keep our king waiting then."

"Shall I tell him you'll see him now..?"

An cocky grin grew across Mal's face, "indeed."

In the main area of the compound stood a anxious Alastor, contemplating in his mind if he was doing the right thing. He's never been this nervous before, he was struggling to stand.

"Awww, why so serious my friend? Hehe, never sold your soul to the devil?"

"Shut up, you know the answer to that."

"Why are you snapping at me? I haven't done anything to you. Ahh, maybe you're worried about 'Baby Momma' finding out you're doing this."

Al clinched his fists with a slight growl in his voice, "shut. Up. NOW."

As he said that Mal enters the room with his signature grin across his face. He chuckles as he says "I know you're the king now and everything, but you still don't talk to me like that. Understand?"

Al was not happy with this remark, he retaliates with "excuse me, boy? Like you said, I'm your king. So show the respect I deserve!"

Mal laughs, "you think I'm scared of you?! We've already fought and I WON!! You have no power anymore, so I'm not afraid of you anymore. No one is, Alastor."

Al cringes in rage, but accepts the truth. "I know, I know no one fears me like they used to. People only see me as the husband to the Queen and so they show me the kind of respect I dont want. And thats why I'm here, to fix that and have my power back and be... ME, again. And you can do that, what do I need to do?"

Mal cant believe his ears again, but in a good way this time. The King of Hell just came to him, begging for his power be returned to him! This was the best day of his afterlife, and it'll only get better from here. "Anything, Alastor?"

"Anything..."

"Hehehe... bring me your son, and you'll have even more power than you've ever had before."

Al's heart stopped, he was not expecting him to mention his child. He didn't know what to do, he was shutting down.

"Don't you want your power back, my old friend?"

Al caved in, he was desperate. "Fine, ill give you my son."

Mal had an evil smile, he was gonna be invincible if his plan goes well. "Very good, now hold still so neither of us die."

As Al was about to question what Malicore said Mal engulfed Al in hellfire hotter than anything he's ever felt. But it felt... good. He felt his power returning, and he never felt happier. As the fire goes out Mal collapses gasping for breathe. "How do you feel, your highness?"

Al chuckled, "never better, dear boy! Now to hold up my end of the bargain, one son coming right up!" He walks out of the building, heading towards the Hazbin Hotel.

Charile and Vaggie were playing with the kids as Jasmine cooks and Malisa cleans with Nifty. Everyone was happy and having fun, until Al walked in. Al opened the door and saw his children playing with their mother and Vaggie on the floor. Asher noticed his father enter and ran to him yelling "DAD!" Celine stayed with Charlie but was also happy to see her dad. Ash hugged his father and Al hugged him back.

"Where did you go Dad," the child asked in an innocent voice. He felt something wrong with Al and was a little jumpy around him. Vaggie also noticed something different about Al, something she didn't like at all. As she thought this Malisa jumped in front of Vaggie and was ready for a fight.

"Woah woah woah, Malisa what are you doing?!" Charlie jumped up and got in front of Malisa. "What are you doing, its just Al! Why are you acting like this?!"

"I'm a sworn protector of these kids, I wont let anyone or anything hurt them. This man poses a threat to you and these kids, and I'm gonna protect you!"

Charlie is visibly confused, "what do you mean he poses a threat? He's my husband and your king! What do you–"

"Its quite alright, my dear. Ill handle this, Malisa my dear–," Al blasts her across the room, almost killing her, "–you're fired."

Charlie is confused and pissed, "Al what the fuck are you doing?! What has gotten into you?!"

Al chuckles, "clarity, my dear! I've grown weak, pathetic! The inferno of suffering used to fear me and would shutter and the mere MENTION of my name! But now... NOW people see me as weak, as the "King of Hell," well no more will I be weak! I will be feared again and you WONT GET IN MY WAY!"

Charlie, in shock, backs away from Al. She trips over everything as she sees her husband lose his mind. Asher knew something was wrong, and he looks terrified. He looks at her father and says in a scared voice "Dad, you're scaring me..."

Al looks at the boy and says, "dont worry, my boy. Ill protect you." He scoops up his son and uses a Hellportal to leave as quick as possible. Charlie screams as her child disappears.

Charlie rises to her feet, still a little shaky. "We have to save them."

Vaggie interrupts, "THEM?! What do you mean 'them?!' He just–"

"I know, but that wasn't him! I know him, he's changed... he was being redeemed, turning more human. This isn't him."

Vaggie sighs in compliance, "alright, whats the plan?"

Charlie smirks, "we get the son of a bitch who took my boys. I know where he is now, and we're going to confront him."

BOO! HOLY SHIT I HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO!! Things have been crazy over here in Magnis Land(tm) and I've been trying to juggle everything. I've been streaming on my YouTube and been fixing my mental health. I've missed this book so damn much and all the people who read and support it. I owe you all so damn much and I wish there was more I could do. There's so much happening I've lost track so ill be finishing up this book in the next few chapters and possibly remastering an old one of mine but I'm not too sure yet, ill cross that bridge when I get there I suppose XD. And speaking of support, Kittykat1304 has returned and made an update post on her book "Mine~." Go support her any way you can, she loves the attention XD. But seriously, she's way better than me and would love all the support. This will be finished within the next few weeks and would love to hear what you thought of this book before it ends (honestly I just might redo this one, there are SO many things that make me annoyed XD). Ill see you all next time, later!!
