Helluva Loud Adventures.
"The Pillar of Ars Goetia."
(The Ars Goetia Palace.)
We now head to the Ars Goetia Palace, and the Silva Hound Family, and Sam Sharp and Jordan Rosato are here, to get ready for the trip to speak with the demon who could aid them in what they seek, and they meet with Stolas, Stella and Octavia Ars Goetia.
Stolas then speaks. "Alright, so today is the day you can all speak with my very good friend, King Bael. But before we do, I must know... Does anyone here have what they are ready to present to him in return for asking something?"
They all nod. "Excellent, and now... Octavia, would you like to do the honors?"
Octavia nods, and Stella and Stolas are proud that her magic is improving and she is becoming more than what they have expected, and chances she would become the next one to take the grimoire. "Alright, so where you lot are going is someplace within hell, on the eastern lands which are very hard to get to. Dad and myself are coming along, ready?"
"Locked and loaded" replied Loona. The others are also ready.
Octavia nods and then she opens the portal. "Come, he is waiting." They all step through the portal and they see Stella wave to them and then it closes. They then see where they are is this really large royal room, and there are many portraits of all the members of 72 pillars of the Ars Goetia, and they even see the portrait of Stolas.
"Whoa, now this is one fancy and big place" said Sam.
"Why thank you, Sam Sharp." They are all surprised to hear that and they turn around and see him sitting on his large throne, King Bael.
Bael.
Also known as: Baal, Baall, Boal, Boall, Beal or Adoni.
Bael is ranked as the first of the Ars Goetia and principal king of Hell, ruling over the East along with being the head of the infernal powers. Bael is the first of the 72 Spirits of King Solomon and governs 66 to 250 legions of demons and spirits. While his Semitic predecessor was depicted as a man or a bull, the demon Bael was in grimoire tradition said to appear in the forms of a man, cat, toad, or combinations thereof with the appearance of a king or soldier or with the heads of the three creatures onto a set of spider legs. He is able to make his conjurer invisible.
Current Form: He is humanoid, and more than 50 feet tall, white pale skin and he kinda almost looks human. He has long arms with elbow length gloves, black knee-high boots, and a red trench coat with his logo on each of the golden buttons and a gold zipper, and white pants with gold buttons and a belt, and... Gold chain necklace and many golden rings and bracelets. His hair is grey with hints of white curls, and he is wearing a crown and sunglasses... for some reason.
The dude still lives in his palace and he governs his legions and makes sure that when new recruits show up, then they can be part of it and help expand his legions for what is to come for future stuff or something, oh and he also runs his own cities on the eastern regions of Pride Ring, Wrath Ring and Sloth Ring, and he is a good friend to Stolas and the other Pillars of the Ars Goetia, he doesn't interact with Lucifer unless he is called upon for something important.
"Whoa!" The kids are amazed, not Loona, she's seen some of his photos when she saw Blitzo reading a magazine. Loona smirks. "Yeah, he is that big, but there's one more thing..."
"So, what is it you seek, little earth people and hellhound?" Bael stands up, and his two legs split into eight sider-like legs and this has them surprised. "What? You simple folks forgot that I am part spider?"
Yeah, I lied. Those are not boots, it's his eight spider legs combined to look like two legs.
This does surprise them and then Lincoln whistles. "Wow! That is insanely cool, and it does make sense that you know us. After all, King Bael is the name."
Bael chuckles. "Indeed." Then he calms down and then he speaks to them. "Now, before we get to the whole thing where everyone asks me what they seek... what do you have to offer towards me?"
Lincoln is the first one to speak. "On earth, they made this video game called Diablo, and when they expanded it with part two, they called it Lord of Destruction, and the main villain is someone known as... Baal, the Lord of Destruction, which he is also named Bael like you. He's deadly, dangerous and he stands on four spider-like legs and leads many demonic legions to get what he seeks and he is the brother towards Mephisto and Diablo. I played the game and I have to say, Baal or Bael is one tough bad guy to beat."
King Bael is surprised to hear this, and then he asks. "Do you have any footage of what my video game version looks like, child?" Lincoln then hands him the hard drive, and he takes it, and then King Bael yells. "Servants!" Some demons show up, and he hands them the hard drive. "I want this plugged into my entertainment room, I wish to watch this later and see more about my, dreaded video game counterpart and how he lived, fought and perished." the demon servants nod and they head off and then king Bael looks towards Luna. "And what from you, dear child?"
Luna is next to speak. "Stolas informed me that during the 80's, you were a hard fan of rock n' roll am I right?"
"Oh, well I listen to it a lot. But I have never once played such style of..."
"Then here you go dude." Luna then opens the portal to earth, and pushed through s the large guitar case, and the ones who pushed it through were EveLynn, Blitzo and Athena, and then the portal closes. "This is something you can use, and I know you understand how string instruments work. You think you can handle an electric one?"
King Bael picks it up, and he sees the guitar is a blood red with fiery decals and a logo of a bleeding spider, pig, bull and king. It's also a double necked electric guitar. "Oh, this I can do!" He then makes an electric charge from himself, and then sends a powerful rift and the others are surprised.
"Wait, I thought you didn't know how to play that?" said Stolas as he crosses his arms and smirks.
King Bael chuckles. "Watching videos and learning, but no one has ever made one t=of my size! Thank you, Luna Silva Hound. Now, what do you have for me, hellhound?"
Loona comes next. "Here." she hands him the spirit orb and within is the tormented soul of Rita. "You could use a new toy, since you have plenty and are of old fashioned folks." This surprises the others, they didn't think she brought the soul of Rita here. Lincoln and Luna know, but they don't care.
Bael is impressed and he takes it. "Oh, a blonde toy to mess with. I will enjoy making her suffer, because the others I have are from the olden days, she is my first 21st century soul to torment for all of eternity and I know who she is. News and word spreads fast in hell, but it takes a long time to reach the very bottom ring. Now, what of the two girls from earth? I know they have something for me, and it means they have questions too, am I right?"
Then comes Sam and she brought with her a recipe on spicy ramen and noodle sandwiches and that is something Bael wishes to try and make... Well have his servants make. Jordan got the large demon king a hideous portrait of someone getting mutilated for all of their heinous misdeeds and sins, and the portrait actually shows Lynn Sr, Rita and Chandler being thrown into hell and crucified and Lincoln, Luna and Loona whipping them, and even Lucifer and the other friends they know are there doing the same.
All of them remain silent seeing that, and then Lincoln asks. "So, is that what you have been doing the other day after the whole Chinese food festival?"
Jordan nods. "Yup, and I made sure I used the expensive kind of paint."
The King is impressed. "This is going in my room, I do so love it when folks get ruined and tormented in the form of a painting, and you really got the anguish in their eyes right. You are an amazing little artist, and better than the other one I have."
King Bael then looks to one of his demon artists and he is pissed. "You have failed me for the last time, simpleton! You're art sucks!" King Bael then breathes fire and the demon is burnt and gone for good. They are all shocked, even Loona didn't see that coming and they all look towards Stolas.
"Hmmm? Oh, he tends to do that to his servants." Stolas then speaks. "Now that you all have given the offerings, time to do as Bael here does."
King Bael realizes this. "Hmm? Oh right, right." He then sits on his throne and then he clears his throat and then he speaks. "Step forward and ask to me what you seek? Power? Fame? Fortune? The ability to turn invisible?"
Jordan is confused. "Dude, we're here to ask questions, we don't want powers or that stuff."
King Bael then calms down. "Sorry, my bad. Tend to say that, force of habit. Never gets old, so who here wants to ask me first?"
Lincoln asks. "How many Hellhounds are in your legion? Or are they just guarding the doors and other stuff you have?"
King Bael then responds. "I have more than two hundred hellhounds, and counting. Some are old and some are new, and they are guards... Though some have been used for war back then during our little conflict with the heavens and a few have survived and still remain, as powerful veteran hellhound guards, and they even teach the newbies coming into the ranks of my legions."
Luna then asks. "Dude, we need to know... Is the bloodline of Loona still around? As in, our mom, our hellhound mother, Loona."
King Bael sighs and he stands up. "Be right back." He then goes into a room, then he comes out and has a statue floating. "Here he is, Luminaris, the ancestor of Loona whose bloodline continued from his younglings who have carried out through the ages of our timeline."
The statue lowers down, and Lincoln, Luna and Loona go closer and touch the statue and deep down they feel like they are close to him, and Loona is surprised by the appearance of this hellhound.
Luminaris, the Great Silver Guard.
Large and strong looking hellhound, taller than Vortex by one foot, and is wearing some spiked battle armour all over his upper body and shoulders, while his lower half is wearing brown knee-torn pants that go well with his metallic dog-like boots. He has some brass knuckles on his fists, and his claws seem sharper than any other, his tail is as long as Loona's and he has long hair that covers half his face.
Back when he was alive, his color is black, with some white and grey on his fur. and his eyes are as red as Loona's and he has two saber teeth sticking out from his lower jaw and his left ear has a bite mark, he also has many scars all over his body and a stitched up wound from when an angel fought him.
Sam then asks. "Why is he a statue?"
King Bael then explains. "Well, as an Ars Goetia, we always keep our most prized and powerful beasts or guards or warriors, we turn them into stone after their demise, so we can keep them around to remember that they are the finest we have ever had within our legions, and this hellhound here... Oh, let me tell you this. Luminaris led many assaults onto angels who thought they could control one of the gates to the underworld."
"He has led many into the heat of battle, and he was brave enough to face an archangel and send the angelic battalions running, at the cost of a major wound which I healed to send him back into the fight. He was truly loyal and went back to hell after the battle to see his wife and children, and make sure that they are safe." He then realizes what he has just misspoken. "Oh, my apologies, his mate and pups."
Now this does surprise them, the bloodline of this hellhound did continue and ended up with the orphan who became adopted by Blitzo. Loona has some tears and she doesn't know what to say, and then she is about to ask, but Jordan asks first. "How did he die?"
King Bael then explains. "It was... Something he did, to save the others and ensure that the battle continued and that we would win and send heaven back and continue the domains within hell, as Lucifer's way and verdict. Lucifer was the victim with god sending in angels to attack, and all we did was what we always do along the life of humans."
"Luminaris sacrificed his life, to ensure the legions from all 72 pillars, would escape and prepare to plan the counter attack. We found his corpse, about to be thrown into the sea, and we saved his remains and I turned him into stone, to remember the hellhound, who sacrificed to save the legions of hell. He is a hero, and yet not many demons remember his name."
Stolas sighs. "Things change, and even I have forgotten some demons of old, soldiers of old who died for the cause from which we stand for. Tis the way of life for such sinners, demons and other underworldians within this damned land we all call home."
They all understand and they do recall that Stolas has a lot of demonic statues at his palace and they can tell that he doesn't recall all of his brave legions demons who fell from the war from long ago, and then Loona asks. "I wanna take him with me..." she then looks to the king. "Please, let me take my ancestor with me... Please..."
King Bael smiles. "After all this time, I didn't think his bloodline did continue and here they are. the hellhound who is the great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great granddaughter, and the adopted human children whom are continuing the blood, into something else."
King Bael then gets up and he pushes the statue close to Lincoln, Luna and Loona. "Go on ahead, bring him with you. He deserves to be with his family."
"Thanks you, King Bael." Loona then she looks to the stern expression of the statue, who is her ancestor and she smiles. "Hello, grandfather." Lincoln and Luna stand close to her, and also look towards their ancestor whom their blood is related to, and deep down they are grateful to have finally have found the truth and the origin of who they are and the hellhound who started it all.
Stolas, Sam, Octavia and Jordan are glad to see this, they have found out what they seek and now they see the one hellhound who gave them the life they have now, is here and may not be alive but still with them. Now, where the heck are they gonna place his statue?
"To be continued in the next chapter folks!"
A/N: They sought out the truth and they found the truth and the ancestor whom their blood is bound to has been known and seen, and they are going to bring him back home with them, so that his spirit may watch over as they continue the bloodline and their lives. I hope you all enjoyed reading this new chapter folks!
The hellhound OC doesn't exist, I made him. King Bael's appearance, also by me. Had to improvise on what he might look like and his personality in the modern times.
Date made: 3/5/22.
