Chapter Eleven

Brooklyn sighed heavily as he entered his chamber. He noticed that Hiro wasn't in the room and he watched as Zeus practising controlling his powers, which were unpredictable at the best of times.

"Still having problems son?" Brooklyn asked. Zeus slowly nodded.

"Don't worry about it son. You'll get the hang of it soon, it just takes practise." Brooklyn told his son and gave him a hug.

"Dad were you made to train to be a warrior?" Zeus asked. Brooklyn stared at his son before smiling at him.

"No I wasn't. I grew up with Kai and I know what he's like and I think that he'll do Hellfire justice. I trained to be a warrior to defend his ideals and that's what I'm going to do." Brooklyn replied. Zeus nodded and he seemed satisfied with the answer he was given.

"Anyway you have a while before you need to decide" Brooklyn continued. With that Zeus got up.

"I don't need to think about it father, I want to train to be a warrior so then I can protect my cousin" Zeus told Brooklyn before walking out of the room. Brooklyn smirked like father like son he thought to himself.

Tyson walked around the gardens and smiled at the peace and tranquillity that the garden gave him. This garden seemed to be the only place that made Tyson happy at the moment; everywhere else was dark and gloomy. He sighed and touched his now round stomach. It was only a few weeks since Tyson had found out that he was pregnant and he knew that his stomach would increase in size this quick. He had asked Kai and Kai had told him it was normal. Unlike humans where it took nine months for the baby to develop it took on average 3 months for a devils child to be born. Kai had explained that devils aged differently and were quick to develop this was because they were in a sense immortal and this gave them the chance to become stronger and fight more battles, however they could still be killed. Tyson smiled at the thought of bringing his child here, when he heard someone in the distance. He walked over and smiled. He watched as Zeus tried to use a sword against an invisible opponent. He smiled to himself. Zeus was quiet good with the sword even though he sometimes dropped the sword; he would pick it up and try again.

"Well done but I think you need a lot more practise" Tyson said making his nephew jump in surprise. Zeus went bright red from embarrassment. Tyson chuckled and walked towards him.

"Don't worry you'll get the hang of it" Tyson said try to assure Zeus who nodded lowly. Tyson walked up to him and bent down and gave him a hug.

"Come on you need a break and I need a ride, why don't you come with me and see Tornados" It wasn't much of a question but a request that Zeus agreed to. Tyson took Zeus's hand and together they walked towards the stables.

They entered the stable block and as soon as Tornados saw them or specifically when he saw Tyson, he gave a loud but friendly whinny as though he hadn't seen him for years. Tyson chuckled and walked over and gave the stallion a pat. He turned to see that he young nephew was hiding behind him and he gently pulled him in front of Tornados.

"It's okay Zeus, He's not going to hurt you" Tyson said trying to reassure Zeus. Tornados nickered and lowered his head; sniffed Zeus before nuzzling him in search for some treats. Slowly, Zeus warmed up to the stallion and slowly lifted a hand and stroked Tornados face. Tyson smiled and took Tornados bridle from its hook, opened the door and walked inside. Once the bridle was on he opened the door wider and led the stallion out and stood him still. He was about to get on when one of the grooms rushed over.

"I don't think it's wise for you to be riding especially in your condition" the groom said. Tyson frowned. He had never liked people telling him what to do, even if they were right. He also didn't like people worrying about him too much or being over protective. This time was no exception.

"I understand your concern but I trust my mount and besides I'm only walking and taking my nephew out for a ride so if you want to be helpful you could give him a leg up in front of me please" Tyson replied. The groom nodded and walked over and lifted Zeus up in front of Tyson and then bowed before walking away. Tyson nudged slightly and Tornados walked out of the stable yard. It was a warm afternoon and Tyson smiled to himself. He was happy being out her in the open with Tornados and Zeus; it allowed him to be free from the hassle of the palace servants even though he knew they meant well, he just felt like he was wrapped up in cotton wool.

Zeus gently patted Tornados sleek black neck and wondered when he would be able to have his own unicorn. He also wondered how fast a unicorn could go.

"Would you like to find out?" Tyson asked him as though he was reading his mind. Before Zeus could protest, Tyson nudged Tornados forwards. Tornados whinnied and set off in flat out gallop. Zeus could feel his uncle lean forwards, urging the stallion to go faster. Tornados obeyed and seemed to enjoy himself. Eventually Tornados slowed down and was soon walking again. Zeus turned to see that his uncle was now tired, but he also looked uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Zeus asked.

"Don't worry but maybe that was a bad idea" Tyson said whilst Zeus nodded in agreement. With that Tyson turned Tornados round and they started to walk back towards the stables. They sat in silence and Zeus looked round and before he knew it they were back at the stables. Tyson halted Tornados and let Zeus get off first. Tyson then swung his leg over and he landed gently on the floor. He patted Tornados and led him into his stable and took of his bridle. Tornados nuzzled Tyson and Tyson wrapped his arms round the stallion's neck. After one final pat and a brush, Tyson walking out of the stable and shut the door behind him. Zeus watched as his uncle held his stomach as he walked, but said nothing. They entered the palace and Zeus noticed that his uncle wasn't holding his stomach. Again Zeus said noting but continued to walk besides his uncle. They entered the kings chambers and Tyson sat by the fire, with Zeus sitting beside him.

Kai sighed heavily and stretched his wings. It had been a long day and he was tried, however he wanted to spend some quality time with Tyson. He left his study and walked down to his cambers. He walked in and let a slight groan escape. There was Tyson and Zeus both asleep besides the fire. Brooklyn come and get your son he ordered using telepathy and a few moment later Brooklyn arrived and scooped up Zeus in his arms before leaving. With Zeus out of the way, Kai proceeded in waking up his sleeping mate in his personal favourite ways. Kai leaned over and placed small soft kissing along Tyson's neck as well as wrapping his arms around Tyson's waist and slowly rubbing up and down his back. Tyson moaned and responded to Kai's actions which had been what Kai had wanted. Soon enough their lips met and it became a battle of dominance which Kai won. They broke the kiss and they looked in each others eyes.

"So how are you?" Kai asked.

"Fine and you?"

"Same" Kai leaned against the chair and pulled Tyson into his lap and they sat together beside the fire in each others arms.

Boris lurked in the shadows as he wandered down to the dungeons. He had to inform his master of the new developments. When he reached his destination he knocked and waited for permission to enter. He then entered the room and walked towards his master. He kneeled in front of him.

"What have you heard?" his master asked.

"His mate's expecting in about a month. Also I have managed to persuade a few more shapeshifters however the rest are sticking to Kai" Boris replied.

"That doesn't really matter anymore. How are we on the weapons?" He asked.

"We have more weapons than last time my lord. May I ask when we are going to attack?" Boris asked. He heard his master chuckle.

"We must wait a little longer when his mate is vulnerable, that is when we're going to attack and no sooner" Boris nodded at his master's reply. He was dismissed and with a bow, Boris left the room.

Ray knocked on Tala's door and smirked as he walked in on Tala and Bryan having some fun. Both Tala and Bryan glared frostily at Ray who burst into laughter.

"Before you do me any harm may I remind you both that I did knock before entering" Ray told them.

"What about waiting for one of us to open the door before entering?" Bryan asked.

"This was urgent and besides I find it enjoyable disturbing your pleasure time" Ray replied after successfully dodging Tala's punch. Bryan took the file in Ray's hand and looked it over and nodded.

"Well I'll inform Kai so then he can deal with the necessary precautions" Ray nodded and left the room whilst the two mates he had interrupted where no planning their revenge.

Tyson glared icily at his mate who was currently sitting on his chair beside the fire reading a book. Kai didn't really like his mate glaring at him however he wasn't fazed by it. He had discovered from Brooklyn's son Zeus that Tyson had ridden Tornados and that they had galloped. Normally this would not have bothered it, however since Tyson was carrying their child, it had annoyed him that Tyson had risked the life that was inside of him, even devils and demons could have miscarriages and give birth to still born. Therefore Kai had not allowed Tyson out of his sight which was the reason why Tyson was glaring at him and attempting to give him the silent treatment. Kai sighed heavily. Suddenly the doors burst open and a very pissed of Ray entered the room. Kai glanced up at Ray and noticed that Ray's hair seemed shorter then usual. He could hear two people laughing and Tala and Bryan entered the room. Both of them were laughing uncontrollably and Kai saw that Tala held Ray's missing hair. Ray stalked over and grabbed the severed hair and scowled.

"What's going on?" Kai asked.

"Well….you….see it's…revenge. Ray…kept…interrupting…so…we…decided….it was …time…for…some…pay….back" Bryan answered still in a fit from laughing so hard.

"Yeah….it's only fair" added Tala. Kai agreed and smirked. Everyone was too preoccupied that no one noticed Tyson sneaking out of the room.

Tyson wandered down to the stables; glad to be outside of the palace. He heard Tornados whinny and he walked towards the stallion. Tyson entered the stable and wrapped his arms around the stallion's glossy neck and buried his face in the thick black mane. Tornados seemed to sense that his master and friend was upset about something and he whickered softly as through trying to comfort him in his own way. Tyson patted his neck, thanking him.

"It's okay boy, I'm alright really just been cooped up in that palace and it was beginning to drive me crazy." Tyson told the stallion. Tornados flicked his ear back and forth and it seemed as though he was listening. Just then Tornados snorted and his ears lay flat against his neck. Tyson tried to calm the stallion down but it seemed to have little affect on the stallion. Tyson turned round to see a hooded figure standing there.

"Well your unicorn doesn't seem to like me" the hooded figure said. His voice was smooth. Tyson had noticed that the others didn't seem to like him either.

"For some reason all unicorns don't like me, but then I don't really like them" the figure continued as though he knew what Tyson was thinking.

"I think that congratulations are in order" the stranger said. Tyson wondered why til he realised what the stranger was talking about.

"Oh yeah thanks" he replied.

"Tyson are you in there?" Tyson heard Kai calling.

"Yeah I'm with Tornados" Tyson answered before turning to see that the hooded stranger had vanished. Tornados and the others had calmed down and Tyson walked out of the stable and locked the door behind him. He gave Tornados a final pat before walking towards Kai.

"Where have you been?" Kai asked. Tyson could see that Kai had been worried and felt ashamed that he had gone without telling him where he was going.

"I went to see Tornados and I'm sorry I didn't tell you I just needed to get out of the palace for five minutes. It won't happen again I promise" replied Tyson. Kai nodded and wrapped his arms around Tyson and pulled him into an embrace. They broke apart and together they walked towards the palace unaware that the hooded stranger had seen everything.

"Well Kai you'd better spend as much time with your mate as you can because soon he'll be mine" the figure said before disappearing into the shadows.
