Chapter 2: meeting Hephaestus

Time skip, three years.

"Say Papa, have you ever seen other Devils like you?" asked Vulcan, who has grown considerably in three years. The white part of his hair now covers one eye and the rest in pulled into a ponytail. (A/N: Think Rouge's ponytail.) He also has gained the tattoo that comes with being a Devil Slayer. His clothes consisted of a graphic tee, jeans with a chain, and a cloak that was open in the front.

"Hmm, well there are other Fire Devils, but none of them could actually come close to the power I wield. Not even Gods." He proclaimed with an ego the size of the moon.

"Oh, then, are there other Devil Bar-"but was cut off as an explosion went off nearby. To which they promptly ran to.

Upon arriving they were greeted with the site of an absurdly sized egg that looked like Infernos' bones.

"What… is it?" asked Vulcan.

"That my boy is a Hellhound egg. But how could one of them make it here?"

"Can I keep it?!" shirked the boy.

"Sure, but, you take care for it brat."

"YAY I HAVE MY OWN HELLHOUND!" just as he touched the egg, it cracked loud enough to make Infernos here.

"BOY?!" but I kept cracking until yet another explosion happened. Reveling a large, dog like creature with two horns and the same fire like, bony pattern of the egg and Infernos.

"Hmm, so it hatched. Remember what I told you boy, you take care of it." Pronounced Infernos as he flew off back to the cave they were staying at.

"So, what do I name you, Vulcan Jr.? No. Hmm, I got it! Hephaestus, you are Hephaestus!"

"Arf!" the dog barked in a pup like voice.

Then came the friendship of the hound and the slayer. The dog learned to speak, breath and eat fire, and do dog tricks.
