And We're Back. Enjoy
Chapter 36
*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*
"Lord Lovell, your meal is prepared!" Lucien said from behind the door.
Morrigan rested on the bed as I was on top. I broke our kiss.
"I'll be right there!" I yelled towards the door.
I rose to get out the bed but the girl below me wrapped her legs around my waist.
"One more kiss?" Morrigan asked.
I smiled and kissed her once more.
"C'mon Jay" Morrigan complained. "That was so plain"
I looked at her. The violet still hadn't faded from her eyes.
'Somebody's really in the mood'
"Ight, I know what you want"
"Then give it to me" Morrigan smirked.
I leaned back in and kissed her, this time more passionately. I started by kissing her bottom lip. As I did so, her hands rubbed my back and I felt her sharp nails run along my flesh. Her lips had a sweet taste to them. I then offered my tongue into her mouth which she eagerly took in. I felt her legs wrap tighter around my back. She pulled me down closer until she felt my crotch press hard against her.
I slowly broke the kiss before I found myself missing my meal.
I looked at Morrigan whose eyes were still closed. She slowly took a deep breath and smiled. She opened her eyes which were now back to green.
"Mmm, let's try that again" she said.
"We will" I replied to her with a smile. I moved to the edge of the bed to put on my shoes.
Morrigan crawled over to me and rested her head on my shoulder as her arms folded around my neck.
"I wonder what they made for you" Morrigan stated.
"I was thinking the same, I guess we're about to find out"
...
Morrigan & I walked through her castle headed towards the kitchen.
The halls were grey and huge, they were dim; only illuminated with candles and the light from outside.
We entered a gigantic room. It contained a long rectangle table with ten seats on the longer sides and two at the shorter ends.
"This is the dining room, quite big isnt it?" Morrigan asked.
"Yeah" I answered her as I looked around.
"Why dont you sit?" She asked as she sat.
I snapped from my phase.
"Sure" I sat beside her.
"Ahh, here you are" Mudo said.
I turned to see the two ghouls enter the dining room. Lucien held a dish in his hand, Mudo had utencils and refreshments.
They sat the items onto the table before us.
"We've made for you De La Guun fish, Makai rice and Devils cake. Enjoy, my Lord" Lucien said as he removed the cover from the plate.
"Thanks you two" I replied. I looked to see what I had. I grinned.
"Well, this looks good" I exclaimed.
Morrigan crossed her legs. "Go on, try it"
I grabbed the fork Mudo had given me and looked at what I'd have first. I went with the Makai rice. It was pretty spicy.
"Not bad" I said.
Morrigan smiled.
I ate a piece of my fish.
"Not bad at all" I said. The fish had a weird taste to it but was still decent. "Whats it called again? De La Guun fish?"
"Yes, fish cooked from the lagoon" Morrigan said.
I looked at the plate again.
"I guess you can't judge a book by its cover"
In no time, I finished the dish.
"You eat anything don't you?" Morrigan asked with a smirk.
"I dont know actually, you tell me" I replied with a wink.
Morrigan nudged my leg. "Shh!"
I chuckled.
"Why, I wonder, this has been your longest trip in the human realm, Madam" Mudo said with a grin.
Morrigans face turned a bit red. "Mind yours Mudo"
"Of course, my Lord. On Lord Belial, we will check" Mudo replied.
"Please do, thank you" the Queen replied.
I grabbed my glass of water and drunk away.
"I believe we'll be in Father's presence quite soon" Morrigan said.
I noticed her change of tone. "What's wr-"
Suddenly, Lucien and Mudo entered.
"Lord Belial wishes to see the both of you now" Lucien said.
Morrigan rose from out her seat.
"Here's the moment we've been waiting for" she said with a slight grin.
I got up, wiped my mouth and pushed the chair to the table.
...
Morrigan took my hand as we entered another gigantic room.
I felt her grip was tight.
We walked a carpet leading to a huge staircase.
'Must be Belials throne'
The seat was engulfed inside a tent. The front curtains were tied to the sides leaving a dark opening. Unfortunately, I couldnt make out a good view of Belial.
The room remained silent for a little.
"WHO IS THIS HUMAN BEFORE ME?"
I took a deep gulp. His voice was like thunder.
"My name is Jay Lovell, my Lord, I'm M-"
"He's a close friend of mine, Father"
"I SEE. MORE THAN A FRIEND, I'VE HEARD. MORRIGAN, I'D HAVE THOUGHT YOU'D BRING BEFORE ME YOUR OWN SPECIES. HOW HAS HE COME FORTH?"
'Damn, this isnt gonna be good'
"Father, I know. In this realm there's no demon around with Jay's might and virtues. With all respect, don't see Jay as only a human, Father. He's capable of things you wouldn't believe possible"
"ENLIGHTEN ME"
Morrigan looked at me and back at her Father.
"Jay has saved my life, more than on one occasion, Father. He isn't entirely human, he's...something else. I know you've sensed it also"
"I HAVE. HIS PRESENCE HERE MEANS HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO ENDURE YOU. WHAT IS IT ABOUT HIM THAT YOU CHERISH SO MUCH THAT YOU BOLDLY BRING HIM INTO OUR REALM?"
"Well, like I've said, he's human, but he has made me reconsider that all humans despise darkstalkers. There's nothing not to like about him", Morrigan smiled at me, "He's quite an adorable one, and honest and protecting. I can handle my own, but around Jay, I feel safe and I can lay back. The reason for him being here is simply because his powers are unique and similar in a way to my own and possibly greater. Aside from that, he's even been anxious to meet you Father"
There was another moment of silence.
"IS THIS SO?"
"Yes, my Lord" I said.
"SHOW ME WHAT YOU POSSESS"
"Sure...sure, alright" I said nervously.
I let go of Morrigans hand. I took a deep breath in and out.
'I hope this impresses him'
I stood still and at the thought of ignition. My suit activated. Starting at my feet, the red morphonite consumed my shoes as it spread up to my waist, at my chest the 'S' formed and turned a pitch black. Now at my head, the substance formed into my helmet. Now all suited up, I closed the face of the helmet and looked at Belial.
"MORPHONITE? HOW'D YOU OBTAIN SUCH A RARE TREASURE? NO ONE HAS COME ACROSS SUCH A FIND IN AGES"
"Morrigan blessed me with it, my Lord" I replied.
"I SUPPOSE THIS AND YOUR SOUL HAS MERGED TO BECOME QUITE A THREAT TO THE BEINGS HERE IN THIS WORLD. VERY WELL. LASTLY, MY DAUGHTER. THIS IS WHAT I SEE MOST SIGNIFICANT. TELL ME, DOES HE TRULY HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO RULE?"
"I believe so Father, nothing has shown me otherwise" Morrigan replied, taking my hand again.
"GOOD. I WILL TAKE YOUR WORD. NOW, I SHALL GIVE YOU WHAT I HAVE ALSO SET FOR MY DAUGHTER; PROVE TO ME YOUR WORTHY OF RULING AND DEFEAT DEMITRI...AND MOSTLY, WHY I SHOULD ALLOW YOU MY DAUGHTER'S HAND"
"...So be it, my Lord" I replied with a gulp. I deactivated my suit.
"Thank you, Father" Morrigan had a bright smile on her face.
Morrigan and I turned and walked to the exit of the room.
...
"That wasn't so bad now was it?" Morrigan asked as we walked thru the halls.
"Nah, it was actually exciting. But other than that, your Dad doesnt like showing his face much huh?" I asked, curious.
"Well...something like that" Morrigan stated.
'Theres that tone again'
I grabbed Morrigan by her wrist and stopped her.
"Morrigan, whats bugg-"
"Lady Morrigan!" We heard Lucien call from down the hall ahead. "We have a guest here to see you and Lord Lovell"
Morrigan and I exchanged glances.
"We'll talk later" Morrigan said. "Let's see who this is"
I let her wrist go as she walked towards the ghouls.
I sighed.
...
Morrigan and I walked down the stairs following Lucien and Mudo. We must've been at the front of the castle. At a huge door, a familiar fellow stood.
"Talbain?" Morrigan asked.
"There you two are, I knew this would be the perfect spot to find you"
"How'd you get up here? Nevermind that, whats the reason you're here?" Morrigan asked, concerned.
"There's an issue back on Earth. A pal of yours Jay, has put the word out that you're the one behind the mayhem at the party. Might want to go and clear your name" Talbain stated.
I leaned against the railing of the staircase.
"Really? Trints one persistent son of a bitch" I remarked, "Do you know where he is?"
"Malibu Police Station"
I nodded. "Thanks for the info"
...
Morrigan and I strolled back to our room. She opened a portal and we teleported back to my backyard.
I suited up my armor, ready to leave.
"Morrigan, I know there's something bothering you, what is it?" I asked.
"It's nothing to worry over babe" she replied.
I grabbed her hand and she looked me in my eyes.
"Look, I'm going to make this stop, and come right back. We'll talk about it alright?"
"Okay" Morrigan nodded.
I kissed her on her forehead.
"I love you, brighten up bae. Things will be fine" I tilted up her chin and gave her a smile.
"I'll be back"
"I know you will" Morrigan said with a smirk.
"Thats more like it" I replied.
I let go of her hand. I took a few feet back and blasted off.
...
Now in the sky, I changed my morphonites skin back to blue and white. I looked at the green palm trees & thought about Morrigan.
'I wonder whats on her mind. She didnt start acting like this 'til now. Once we came to that realm, her energy changed. It must be about Belial'
I zoomed across the sky as I headed to the police department.
...
*Tp*
I landed on the roof of the building. I switched to my infrared vision and scanned the facility for my rival.
In a long hall near the east of the building, Trint was being held alone in a room. He sat up on a platform with hands cuffed to the floor.
"Wonder what you did to have that happen to you" I said under my breath.
I looked around and spotted a nearby air vent.
...
I snuck through the vents quietly.
I looked down below me to see Trint with his face looking towards the floor. I looked into another room outside the halls, two cops sat watching a small tv munching on pizza.
'I guess not all cops dig donuts'
I focused back on the guy below. I slowly clicked open the vent and landed in front of him.
He slowly looked up.
"Bonjour" I said as I opened my visor.
"Vous avez découvert huh?" Trint asked in french.
"Yeah, had a friend tell me" I replied, "What is it that you want, Trint?"
"Vengeance" He simply stated.
I smirked. "I thought you'd rather ask for a decent meal, ya'know? 'Cause that sounds more possible" I said eyeing a half eatin bolona sandwich beside him.
Trint didnt find my remark funny.
"You know whats hilarious?"
"Nope" I replied.
"People always forget their past. Where they come from and how they got to their road to glory. Forgetting the people that helped them to become who they are"
"You helped me become who I am?" I asked.
"I didn't, my father did"
I leaned against the wall behind me.
"Our first little incident with the scavenger hunt only awakened me to it. My dad always called your father Lucifer. Growing up, I found out why. Lucifer was Gods most beloved angel, his own creation... Imagine if Lucifer had actually won Gods throne. Of course he wouldnt think twice about it. His children would inherit something so great not knowing that it wasn't of their own. They'd boast, and hold their heads up high, looking down on all beneath them. Jayden stole my fathers engineering dream right from under his nose. Killed my fathers legacy and my future at birth, destroying our lives...but you know the saying? Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy"
"Wonderful. I fit the description" I said dryly as I folded my arms
"The battle of Armageddon will soon come. Satan will be chained away for eternity. Things will go back to the way they always should've been" Trint said.
"I think you might be contradicting yourself there... Aren't you- chained right now?"
Trint looked down at his restraints and smirked.
"Not for eternity though"
I shrugged.
"Maybe not. By the way, nice going but whatever you had planned with mentioning my name or whatever was a waste of energy. There's no evidence on earth you'll have to prove me as this...oh, one last thing, what happened to Kint? I'm surprised you're still here"
"He's gone. I'll be out soon. No need to worry" Trint replied.
In the corner of my eye, I could see a shadow coming down the hall.
'No more pizza'
I walked towards the vent above.
"I won't be. I'll be around to kick your ass as usual. If you get sent to the jailhouse, I'll send you a rope...so you won't drop the soap" I said.
"...À bientôt" Trint said.
"Likewise" I replied before leaping through the vents.
...
The sun was setting. It just turned 6:28pm. I sent a video call to my house. Before the last ring, Morrigans face showed on my visor.
"Hey bae" she greeted me with a smile.
"What's up? You doing ight?" I asked as I flew through the clouds.
"Yeah, Rochella and the girls are here keeping me company" she smiled.
In the background I could hear the knights.
"Is that our Highness?" I heard Nina ask.
Then the girls faces filled the screen.
"Hey there" I said.
"Hiii!" The girls said happily.
"Hurry up and get back, bae. I'm missing you and I know you're missing me" Morrigan said with a grin. She licked her lips.
"There's no denying that" I replied with a smirk. "I'm almost there babe, I'll see you in a bit"
"Alright, I love you my Lord" she replied.
"I love you too-Madam Morrigan" I said with a chuckle.
Morrigan giggled and then the call ended.
'Glad she's feeling better'
As I approached a nearby hill, I noticed a figure lying in the grass below.
I zoomed in. I spotted binoculars. A female in black was looking at something ahead.
'Morrigan'
I descended. I walked up the hill. The woman was still lying there, focused.
"What a view huh?" I asked.
The lady kneeled to her feet.
"So its you"
"In the flesh" I said, preparing my weapons.
The woman then turned around. I noticed her face.
"Hmph. Agent Asha...we finally meet..."
