Warning: This story contains violence, strong language, horny demons...and yes, it's more mature audience. Viewer discretion advised.
Also, this chapter if how Blitzo met Stolas.
The Circus
The scene opens with an exterior shot of the Goetia Mansion. Cut to Young Stolas asleep in his bed, surrounded by stuffed animals while hugging one resembling a demonic Max from Sam & Max. Stolas wakes up, yawns, and smacks his lips. Stolas quickly shot his eyes open in realization and sits up.
"My birthday, my birthday! It's my birthday!" Stolas cheered excitedly.
Stolas leaps out of the sheets and lands on all fours on the floor. He runs off to his dressing room, arms raised in excitement as an Imp butler walks into view to attend him.
"Yaaaay! Birthday, birthday! WOOHOO! Birthday tiiiiime!" Stolas shouts.
Mister Butler opens a tin of hair gel and begins applying it to Stolas.
"Calm yourself, young prince. You know excitement is unbecoming of a Goetia."
"Oh! Right." Stolas said as he calms down, takes a deep breath.
As Mister Butler walks off to retrieve Stolas' vest and cape, returning to put them on him.
"But, Father told me, today is the day, I am old enough to know my purpose and responsibility!" Stolas told him with his eyes sparkle with glee.
"Of course. I'm sure it will be wonderful."
Soon as the Imp butler places the crown on Stolas' head, he follows the butler out of the dressing room down a large hallway. The wall is lined with four giant portraits of Stolas at various particular ages. The first shows Stolas in his egg, sat upon a pillow and topped with a crown. The second shows him as a hatchling swaddled up in his crib, his swaddling cloth held together by a pin bearing the Goetia family insignia. He's accompanied by the demon Max plush seen earlier and a star-shaped pillow. The third shows him as what can be assumed to be a toddler, smiling as he hugs the demon Max plush. The fourth and final shows him in his current on-screen appearance, hugging the demon Max plush as an unknown creature drips green slime on his head.
Scene cuts to Stolas and the butler standing in front of large double doors, which open to reveal a throne room. Paimon, Stolas' father and King of the Ars Goetia, is seen sitting on the throne in his monstrous black demon form. He stands up, his form shifting to display various demonic creatures as he transforms into his normal, bird-like self. The butler walks over to Paimon and stands next to him as Stolas approaches his father.
Paimon is a very tall avian demon resembling a great horned owl or raven, which black feathers over his body and larger feathers pointing upwards to resemble horns. He had glowing red eyes with white pupils, and a white face reminiscent of an eye mask that bears intricate red sigils. He wears a long crimson cloak with a pale maroon upper section and gold trimming that covers his body, along with a hood that goes to about his chin. When opened, his cloak is shown to be glistening like actual gold. On his head is a golden crown decorated with a golden Goetic symbol and star ornaments on the points on top.
"Ahhhh! There is my little, uh..."
Paimon tries to remember the name of his son, who smiles gleefully at his father.
"Which son is this one?" Paimon whispered to his butler, points at Stolas. "There's so fucking many."
"Stolas, your highness."
"Stolas! Yes! Ha! Right, right! That's the one!" Paimon said with a chuckle, but regain his composure as he began walking to his son. "The owl boy."
Cuts to Paimon standing in front of his son, leans toward him, surprising him.
"Well, my little one, it is finally your day of becoming a true part of the Goetia family." Paimon told him, stans upright and walks behind him. "How good for you. Are you ready to know what you'll be meant to do to serve Hell?"
"Yes, Father!" Stolas replied.
Paimon opens some kind of portal to the cosmos as he speaks.
"You will be entrusted with the study of the Earth's skies, the stars, the prophecies they hold, all that stuff." Paimon informed him, showing Stolas the stars he is meant to study.
Two comets, blue and pink, respectively, fly out of the portal and up out of view.
"Isn't that fun? You will begin the studies of your grimoire, which will grant you access to the mortal realm to study and observe, and you will grow to be a mighty Prince of Hell, with your own legions to lead and pass on your knowledge to!" Paimon continued, closes the portal and summons a grimoire. He then levitates the grimoire to Stolas, who's bouncing with excitement.
"I will do my best, Father!" Stolas replies with confident.
"Wonderful!" Paimon said, then leans toward his son as he shows a picture of young Stella to him. "Also, son, you are destined to sire a precautionary addition to the Goetia family. So, you are now engaged. Congratulations, isn't she coming?"
Cuts to a close-up of Paimon's picture. It shows a young Stella angrily strangling a Quieve with a bow in a strand of its hair and tears falling from its eyes. A second Quieve just like it wearing a collar with the same bow lies on the ground, tears flowing as Stella has one foot planted on its head, likely having already been assaulted by her. Stella herself looks similar to her adult appearance, but of course much younger and has her hair tied up in pigtails.
Stolas begins to cry and turns away from the picture in fear.
"Ohhh! That's an ugly noise, son." Paimon said, pats Stolas on the head. "Here, how about you cease this bitch crying?"
However, it made it worse when Stolas cries harder.
"Hm, that usually works. Oh, would you like it if I took you to the circus town? Children enjoy circus, right?" Paimon offered, pats Stolas on the head again. "Would that distract you enough from your non-negotiable future marriage?"
Stolas doesn't respond. A tear rolls down his cheek and drips off.
The scene cuts to a sad Stolas and Mister Butler standing at the top of the stairs into a circus tent. Paimon is not physically present, but instead is shown on the glass of a mirror the butler is holding up. Various imps are seen filling the bleachers. Circus music plays in the background when Paimon looks around.
"Is there a spot that's close to the front, but also far enough that I don't have to...Ugh...smell the poor?" Paimon asks, whispered to the imp butler in disgust.
Quick pan to Stolas, the imp butler, and Paimon in the mirror in an otherwise empty bleacher labeled with a crude sign reading 'GOETIA' in dripping black paint.
Cuts to a dark arena as spotlights instantly light up, revealing various circus imps as they begin performing. Two imps in clown attire juggle, two more in the background perform spinning front flips into the foreground, and a female imp does a handstand on a demonic horse as it gallops by the Goetia section of the bleachers.
Paimon chuckles and claps from within the mirror.
Scene pans via the stilt-supported legs of an imp to two clowns imps juggling while on stilts. A female imp is seen walking and twirling on a tightrope in the background, holding a yellow umbrella as she does.
Cuts back to Goetia section, Paimon is still chuckling and clapping within the mirror. Little Stolas, very clearly 'Not Having A Good Time Of It', halfheartedly flicks a peanut that lands on his grimoire.
Cuts to an imp breathing fire. The scene pans out and down to reveal the fire-breathing imp atop of an inverted imp pyramid supported by a wooden stand. Two more imps in the background leap through hoops held by two imps in the inverted pyramid, land on their hands, then jump to their feet as the crowd cheered.
A throwing knife flies in from the left and forcefully pans the scene to the right. The knife sticks itself into the wooden board, right next to the hip of a female imp shown to be tied to said board. The scene pans out to show the knife throwing imp as the crowd cheers. The Goetia section of the bleachers can be seen in the background.
Cuts back to Stolas, now dejectedly slamming his forehead into his grimoire as the ring leader named Cask Buckzo begins to speak.
Cash Buckzo looks very similar to Blitzo, with the same red skin, yellow eyes, and body shape. However, his horn pattern is more triangular than Blitzo's with black that stretches down the sides of his head to resemble sideburns. His fingers are thicker and black, his eyes have bags under them, his tail is mostly black, and he has a white goatee that rests under his chin. His stage outfit consists of a neon green and navy blue striped shirt with a ruffled white collar, baggy purple pants, black boots, a purple and neon green bowtie, and a faded lavender top hat with neon green band around it.
"Now, everyone's thing about circus shit: the motherfuckin' clowns!" Cash announces.
A multitude of frightening imp clowns with glowing eyes leap out at the audience from behind the curtains in the background. Cash Buckzo laughs at the fly outward. The imps in the audience scream and pull away in terror.
Cuts to a small foot stepping on a pedestal board accompanied by the sound of a bell jingling.
"You ready, Blitzo?" Fizzarolli asks.
Cuts to a young Blitzo giving a rope a quick tug.
"Born ready!" Blitzo replied.
Fizzarolli and Blitzo leap off of their boards and begin a flying trapeze act. They pass by the Goetia section of the bleachers, and time appears to slow down as Stolas looks up in awe and then blushes. The scene zooms in on Blitzo.
Cuts to Blitzo landing on a ball as Fizzarolli swings away.
"Haaaaa! Tada~!" Blitzo shouts with a laugh. "Heya, folks! Wanna see me make a horse?"
Blitzo takes out a green balloon, blows it up, and attempts to tie it into a horse shape. It appears as an incomprehensible knot, then immediately pops.
"Crap!" Blitzo said in surprise, widen his eyes.
Blitzo continues pulling out balloons and attempting to make a horse but keeps getting the same result. His expression grows more worried with each popped balloon. At one point, the balloon somehow appears as a normal oval-shaped balloon. Blitzo is surprised, but the balloon pops nonetheless.
Cuts to the audience, dead silent and unimpressed as Blitzo keeps trying...and failing...to make a balloon horse off-screen.
"De-de-de-de-do-do-do-do- Ah, heh, horse!" Blitzo said nervously, finally made a horse which it has no legs. "Well, heh. It was a horse, but then it are too much sugar and it's legs stopped working so he had to amputate. Now, it's a gross worm horse."
Stolas begins to laugh softly, clearly charmed.
"See? He gets it." Blitzo said. "Because, horses...they make no sense."
The scene zooms over to show that young Fizzarolli has joined young Blitzo with a balloon of his own in his hand. His balloon is red.
"Okay, Blitzo, that's enough horsing around!" Fizzarolli said as he makes a balloon horse perfectly on his first try. "Hey, everybody! Look at this, it's Banana Pudding the clown horsey!"
He makes neighing noises, the crowd laughs while Blitzo looks down sadly.
"I liked his broken horse joke, it was funny." Stolas said sadly. "Their legs do top working when they eat too much sugar, it's called laminitis."
Paimon looks down at Stolas curiously as the little owl demon makes a hooting laugh.
The scene cuts to Cash drinking backstage as the butler imp walks in, holding the mirror that has the connection to Paimon.
"What a show! That was real great." Paimon praises him, cleared his throat while regaining his composure. "So, that little clown you have my son really enjoyed that one, I was wondering if I could buy him."
"Buy him?" Cash repeats skeptically.
"Purchase him, yes." Paimon clarifies. "Accurate."
Paimon claps his hands and the imp butler pushes a button on the mirror. The mirror extends out, creating the effect like he's leaning over Cash.
"My son doesn't have any friends, you see, and he liked the little clown boy." Paimon explains. "It's his birthday, he's so sad and I don't want to deal with him. Can I write a check?"
"Well, Fizzarolli is a big draw." Cash told him, rubbing his chin with a smirk. "He has a few more shows to be in today, so it would be pretty expensive."
"No, no. The other one." Paimon said.
"Blitzo?!" Cash exclaims in shock and disbelief.
"Correct." Paimon nods. "How much?"
"Wha...Well, he's my son." Cash points out. "So...uh, hm...ah, how much ya got in your pocket?"
The imp butler digs around in his pocket and produces a crumbled-up $5 bill and an unopened condom.
"A waddled-up five and a slim-fit condom." Paimon replied.
"Ah, that's plenty. Done." Cash said, accepts the offer.
"Splendid!" Paimon said in delight. "Fetch him for me and we will be on our way."
Paimon claps his hands and portal is out, destroying half the tent in the process.
The scene changes to Fizzarolli and Blitzo playing with their balloon horses together.
"I'm Banana Pudding, and I like to dance!" Fizzarolli said.
"I am Worm Horse, and I...I am sad!" Blitzo said.
"Why are you said, Worm Horse?" Fizzarolli asks.
"Because! I have no legs!" Blitzo answered.
"Oh, well that's okay." Fizzarolli said with a shrug.
"I lost all my legs in the war." Blitzo told him.
"The war?!" Fizzarolli exclaims with a gasp.
"Yes! The great pirate war!" Blitzo said.
"No, no pirates." Fizzarolli told him with deadpan look.
"It's a great pirate warrr!" Blitzo exclaims.
"If you keep talking about pirates, I will punch you." Fizzarolli warned him, exasperated.
"I fought bravely, but I could not run fast enough they took my legs, there was blood everywhere!" Blitzo said.
"Oh, no! Eww, no blood!" Fizzarolli said, laughing. "Blood is disgusting."
"No, it's cool!" Blitzo remarked with a chuckle.
"Well, Banana Pudding is here to save the day with his magical feet he dances around with." Fizzarolli told him. "He sill dance all over Worm Horse and make him feel better..."
"...And theeen, there'll be more bloood!" Blitzo cuts in, squirts ketchup onto his balloon horse.
"Blitzo! That's so gross! Stop!" Fizzarolli protests, laughing.
"Neverrr!" Blitzo remarked.
Cash appears behind them, grabs Blitzo by the arm and pulls him up.
"Boy, I've got a job for you!" Cash told him. "You are gonna spend the day with one of the Goetia princes."
"Ew, why?" Blitzo asks in disgust.
"Because money!" Cash answered simply. "Now, listen carefully. You are being bought out to be his playmate, but I want you to steal as much from those rich fuckers as you possibly can."
"Steal?" Blitzo said, scared as he pulls his arm away and walked a few steps back. "But, what if I get caught?"
"Don't you want your family to be able to buy a bigger tent?" Cash questions. "Better food? Don't you want to be able to help me and your mama out?"
"Of course I wanna help mama!" Blitzo replied.
"Then, you gotta do this." Cash told him. "Everything those rich fucks have will be worth a fortune."
"But, if I'm caught...I'm scared, dad." Blitzo said.
"There are scarier things, aren't there, son?" Cash asks with a smirk.
"But..."
Cash makes sad eyes at Blitzo.
"Yes, papa." Blitzo replied reluctantly.
The scene changes to Paimon, his imp butler, and a young Stolas in front of their house while Blitzo and his father walk up to them. Blitzo quickly move his hand away when he saw Stolas, who's blushing, it got him cringe.
"Here is your new friend my son, happy birthday." Paimon told him without care.
"A friend?" Stolas repeats excitedly.
"I guess?" Blitzo said reluctantly. "Hi, uh, I'm Blitzo."
"I'm Stolas." Stolas greets back, bowing to him. "It's nice to-"
However, he gets smacked in the back of his by his father.
"Ouch!" Stolas grunts, rubbing his head in pain.
"Don't bow to that one!" Paimon scolds him. "He bows to us. Idiot."
"Oh, right. Sorry, father." Stolas apologized.
"I'm so good at daddy-ing!" Paimon said to himself.
The scene cuts to young Blitzo and Stolas inside of a library, sitting on the floor surrounded by books. Blitzo is bored while Stolas is excitedly info-dumping about the books in question, causing him to groan.
"This is my book on the difference between frogs and toads, there's a lot of differences!" Stolas told him. "Did you know plants can hear you?"
"Plants are boring!" Blitzo remarked. "This is all boring stuff!"
"Oh, I'm sorry." Stolas apologizes, dejected. "I've never had a friend to share my books with."
"You know what would be fun? A game." Blitzo suggested. "Let's play 'Treasure hunt'."
"What's that?" Stolas asks curiously, raising his eyebrow.
"It's where we pretend we are pirates and we go around the house, collecting all the nicest things and then we throw them out the window!" Blitzo explains, stands on top of the pile of books.
"We...throw them out the window?" Stolas asks incredulously.
"Yes." Blitzo replied simply.
"Since when did pirates throw things out windows?" Stolas asks again, confused.
"Since like, the dawn of time." Blitzo told him, jumps off. "Come on, pirates are always throwing stuff out windows."
"I don't think they had windows." Stolas points out.
"What, did a book say that?" Blitzo asks in annoyance.
"Yes, actually!" Stolas answered, pulls out two books titled 'Pirates' and 'The Porthole Myth'. "Several."
"Well, in this game..."
Blitzo grabs the books and chucks them off-screen.
"...We're throwing them out the window." Blitzo finished his sentence. "Because, it's fun!"
"Well, that's an odd game." Stolas points out, pondered but gasp. "Is this an imp game?"
"Suuure. Why not?" Blitzo answered with a shrug.
"Well, if it's what you want to play?" Stolas asks again excitedly.
"Let's do it!" Blitzo said.
The scene switches to the two of them giggling and filling up bags with things from around the house while a xylophone cover of Blitzo's theme plays in the background.
"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!" Blitzo said with a smirk.
Stolas runs behind him, panting a little with the exertion. They continue going through different areas taking things and giggling. They stop at a chandelier and look at it in the window. Blitzo takes a piece of it.
"Yes!" Blitzo cheered.
"Yay!" Stolas adds.
The scene circles around the two. They fall to the floor and lay on their backs, giggling.
The scene changes and they run by a balcony, giggling. There's a whistling, Blitzo runs up to the edge of the balcony with his bag of treasures. His father pops out of a bush down below and makes a 'throw to me' gesture. Blitzo looks behind him to Stolas, who's bouncing on a stool trying to reach something and doesn't see anything. Blitzo grunts with effort and throws the bag of treasure down to his father, who then ducks back into the bush.
"Blitzo, over here!" Stolas called him as Blitzo runs over to join him.
The scene changes to the two of them outside by a tree. Stolas is sitting on the roots and Blitzo is climbing it. Blitzo falls out of the tree, hanging by only his tail.
"So, what is that? Your diary?" Blitzo asks curiously, noticing Stolas reading his grimoire.
"No, this is my new grimoire." Stolas remarked, closing his grimoire. "It's a spell book! I have to learn it so I can access the living world!"
"The living world?" Blitzo repeats shockingly. "Like the world with humans and stuff? Where the sinners come from?"
Stolas replied with a nod.
"That's cool!" Blitzo states.
"Yes! I'm supposed to use it to study the sky!" Stolas told him as Blitzo lands on the tree root.
"Why?" Blitzo asks, raise his eyebrow.
"My dad says I can find prophecies, but I don't really know." Stolas explains. "But, I'm supposed to, that's what my job will be when I grow up. To join the rest of the Goetia family."
"Well, you know what I'm gonna do when I grow up?" Blitzo asks, jumps back on the tree. "I'm gonna run my own circus and I'm gonna be the most famous imp ever and I'll be able to do what I want to do, all day! I'm gonna make so much money and buy myself a big building, with a big office!"
"A big office? For a circus?" Stolas asks.
"Yeah! A big office!" Blitzo replied excitedly. "Circus business with clowns and horses! And the horses will all have good names like Stapler and Biscuit Queen."
"I'm sure you will." Stolas said with a giggle. "That sounds like a good business."
"Yeah!" Blitzo agrees. "And, if you want to apple, I'll hire you. Maybe."
"You'll hire me?" Stolas asks with a chuckle.
"Yeah, if I feel like it." Blitzo answered.
"Well, I hope I qualify!" Stolas remarked, giggles. "You'd be a good boss."
"You say that with sarcasm, but I totes would." Blitzo remarked back as he and Stolas laughed.
A thudding sound effect and a title card that says '25 YEARS LATER' drops on the screen. Adult Stolas wakes up, looking dejected. He groans and gets dressed in his robe, goes to his boudoir, and takes a bottle of pills. He goes to his library and opens up his grimoire, in the window behind him, Blitzo appears and sees the magic floating out of the book. He tries to pull open the window to get inside. Stolas closes the book and walks away. He didn't see Blitzo, who falls off the window.
"Yes, together we're..."
Stolas checks on a sleeping Octavia and then wanders into his kitchen, where Stella is loudly having a phone call.
"I know still being married isn't a big enough occasion." Stella said with a glare. "But, to be fair, it's no picnic being married to a boring stiff like Stolas."
Stolas looks as if though he wants to speak to her, but she holds up an index finger at him and he instead walks away to his kitchen table to drink his morning drink. He uses magic to open up and hold the newspaper in front of him. It reads, 'Not Divorced: Anniversary Party! Couples Only'.
"Stella, what in Hell is this?" Stolas demands, glaring at her.
"Ugh, Stolas. You know I like throwing parties. Plus, it's true, so you know you can come if you want." Stella told him, flips her hair feathers and walks away with an imp butler.
Stolas takes a drink of his morning beverage and the image cuts him drinking out of a goblet at a fancy party. We see the guests standing and dancing. Stella is with her two bird friends from the pilot.
"No! Stolas is terrible in bed!" Stella said, laughs loudly. "I swear to fuck, he just lays there staring at the wall, and I have to do everything! It's embarrassing! I'm glad one egg fell out of me, so I could stop pretending to want to fuck his scrawny twig ass!"
"And what about the two hellhounds, Fenrir and Skadi?" One of the bird demon named Opal asked. "We haven't heard from them and you keep telling us about them."
"Last I heard, they had a pup that goes by the name Antauri." Stella answered, pulling the photo out of her dress. "This is the only photo of them holding him, and it's been 6 years. Ooh, this little one is adorable, I just want to eat him up!"
It got the two bird demons cooed, looking at the baby white hellhound. Stella then makes a loud drink sip sound and then even laughs louder as she tosses one of her two glasses behind her and the glass shatters. Her friends laugh with her.
The camera pans to Stolas standing not too far away from the group, clearly hearing everything that's being said about him to his immense displeasure. The scene jumps out slightly so we can see he stands under the banner that proudly proclaims, 'Not Divorced!' while Stella and her entourage walk away laughing.
"What a pathetic fucking man." Stella said with a smirk, turns to look directly at Stolas.
Stolas snarls like an angry owl.
"Do you have anything stronger than this?" Stolas questions, caught the imp waiters attention.
"We have absinthe, your Highness."
Stolas puts his wine glass on her tray and takes the skewers of mice.
"Bring me all of it." Stolas replied, eats all the skewers in one bite.
"Poor people! Ugh, I'm so glad that they're not allowed in this thing. I don't want them near me. Well, except Fenrir and Skadi, they're always welcome and I am looking forward to meet this little darling of theirs." Stella told them in a muffled voice, laughing. "Can you imagine if you didn't have money?"
A different waiter brings Stolas a tray with a tiny shot glass and a green bottle of absinthe, he pours a shot. Stolas takes the green bottle and begins chugging it.
"Stolas, sir?"
Stolas gets distracted and chokes on his drink, spits it out.
"I'm fine!" Stolas quickly told them.
Two Hellhound guards holding Blitzo up between them, one looks more wolf like and the other looks like a dachshund.
"We caught this nasty imp trying to sneak into your chambers, what should we do with him?"
"Into my chambers, really? Oh, well. That is, concerning." Stolas said, clears his throat. "Leave him to me, I will handle him accordingly."
The two hellhounds unceremoniously drop Blitzo.
"Follow me, Imp." Stolas suggested.
Stolas walks past and Blitzo follows glaring around the room.
The two pass by a hallway and Blitzo looks at the three portraits on the wall. The first one was a teen Stolas holding the mirror that has his father on it. The second one is possible Stolas and Stella's wedding day and they both look unhappy and serious. Stolas is also holding his grimoire in the picture. The third picture is Stolas happy, smiling and holding a young smiling Octavia in his arms while they're in space and he's using his power to play together.
"Look, I didn't mean to interrupt your whatever party." Blitzo said nervously, tried to make an excuse. "I was just trying to..."
"Don't bother with excuses, I know why you're here." Stolas interrupts.
"You do?" Blitzo asks with a cringe.
Stolas leads Blitzo into a dark private room and closes the door behind them.
"Yes, you are here to ravish me, weren't you?" Stolas asks, poses against the closed door.
"Uhhhhhh, you?" Blitzo said, confused while raising his eyebrow.
"Why else would you be breaking into my room?" Stolas asks again, walk towards him. "You could've asked to visit you know, it's been a long time, but I have a very good memory."
Stolas claps his hands and the candles light up.
"Oh, yeah." Blitzo said.
Blitzo sees Stolas' grimoire on the top-most shelf and you can see the journey on his face as he decides to play into Stolas' fantasies to get closer to the book.
"Well, you know, I figured since you're a prince and all it might just be easier to scale the walls and slip on in." Blitzo told him, wiggles his eyebrows at Stolas, flirtatiously. "Certainly is easier than going through your fucking staff..."
"One would think you might be here for nefarious reasons, if you are sneaking in during the cover of night." Stolas cuts in, smirking.
"Well, I wanted to crash the party, and it's always more fun you know to make an entrance." Blitzo said with a smirk of his own.
"I recall how you enjoy making an entrance!" Stolas points out as he and Blitzo walk to the couch and sit down together. "So, over two decades since I last saw you. Are you still a circus clown?"
"Oh, no, not anymore." Blitzo replied with a laugh. "No, I kill people now."
"Oh, how afraid I should be?" Stolas asks, laughs nervously and pulls away a little.
Blitzo looks at the grimoire and then back to Stolas.
"Well, I mean..."
His voice changes from flat to more seductive and he intertwines their fingers.
"How afraid do you want to be?" Blitzo asks.
Stolas gets a little flustered, confused maybe a like he meant this as a joke that Blitzo was unexpectedly taking seriously.
"Oh! Um, well. I, uh...You know, I was teasing." Stolas states nervously. "I don't really..."
"Yeah, you seem pretty tense." Blitzo interrupts, crawls toward Stolas. "How about I...help you out there?"
Stolas nervously runs away the couch and Blitzo falls onto the floor.
"You know. This is, um, getting a wee bit...is it hot?" Stolas asks nervously. "I'm starting to feel it getting very hot..."
Blitzo slams him against the bookshelf, causing it to shake.
"Oh! What are you doing?" Stolas asks curiously as the grimoire wiggles and falls into the floor. "I barely remember your name."
Blitzo watches the grimoire fall to the floor, he utilizes the ladder to pull Stolas into a dip, clearly trying to get closer to the book.
"It's Blitz." Blitzo answered when his tail begins pulling the book closer to himself.
"Didn't it have an 'o' at the end, like a clown name?" Stolas asks, confused. "I remember...oh!"
They trip and Stolas stumbles back, hitting his bed. The grimoire slides by it. Blitzo pins Stolas onto the bed.
"Yeah, well, it's silent now, 'kay?" Blitzo points out with a sigh. "So, call me...Blitz."
Stolas squirms backwards further up the bed, pursued by Blitzo.
"Okay, Blitz, what are you doing to me?" Stolas asks nervously.
"What do you want me to do to you?" Blitzo counters with a question.
"I, uh, well..."
Blitzo realizes that Stolas will be able to see that his grimoire is missing and bites down on Stolas' neck. Stolas lets out a moan of pleasure.
"Oh, my, fuck! Oh, wow!" Stolas said, let's out another moan and falls backwards into his bed. "You are so forward, Blitz! Oh! What are we doing?"
He sits up as Blitzo is on the other side of the bed, trying to pick up the grimoire. Blitzo jumps and pins him back down.
"N-no! Stay down, dammit!" Blitzo grunts.
"Oh?! So, you like to command?" Stolas asks with a moan. "You like to be in charge, hm?"
"Yeah, I sure do..."
He reaches for the grimoire as Stolas turns on to his stomach and bounces Blitzo on his ass, pulling him away from the grimoire.
"Oh, so you're a kinky little imp, aren't you? Do you like it when I talk dirty to you?" Stolas asks with flirtatious smirk. "I want you to *BEEP* me with your *BEEP* imp *BEEP* get it all the way *BEEP* get it all the was through me, you *BEEP*!"
Blitzo turns Stolas' head around 180 and covers his mouth with his hand.
"Ew, stop it." Blitzo said, unamused.
"Yes, it that's what Blitzy wants." Stolas replied flirtatiously.
Blitzo then grabs the curtain from the bed poster and rips it, making strips to tie around Stolas' eyes so he can't see.
"Blitzy, oh, my! Yeees!" Stolas moans as Blitzo ties the princes hands and feet to the bed as well. "Oh, I've never had anyone want me this way!"
Blitzo proceeds to grab the grimoire and starts heading towards the balcony.
"You have no idea how long I've craved this kind of passion, and how much it means that the one who wants me is...my first ever friend!" Stolas said.
Blitzo stops, looks back between Stolas and then back at the grimoire.
"Alright, fine." Blitzo said, sigh to himself and the inhales. "I can do this real fast."
A scene cuts to a title card that says, 'THE MORNING AFTER 'REAL FAST'.
We hear a thud and see Stolas startle awake in bed, from off-screen we hear Blitzo. It's the scene from the pilot, but from Stolas' point of view.
"Sorry, I fucked your husband." Blitzo apologizes, scrambles off the table and leaves.
Stella looks up at the balcony where Stolas is, and smashes her teacup onto the floor.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT, STOLAS?!" Stella yelled furiously.
"THAT was the sound of a FUCKING DIVORCE!?" Stolas yelled back as he tears a celebratory 'Still Not Divorced!' banner to just say 'Divorced!' and laughs triumphantly.
Just cut to a title card, 'NOW'...
Stolas blinks awake, groaning in pain. He's lying next to a bottle of absinthe. He's still wearing his outfit from Ozzie's, though now his mascara is running down his cheeks. He goes and takes his pills which are labeled 'Stolas' Happy Pills'. He turns on his phone and scrolls through his photos which is a series of pictures of Blitzo or things related to Blitzo. Stolas begins to sing.
Stolas (Sings):
Owl in a cage
You show your age
Your sweetness has run foul
Without a change you're lost, exhausted
By your time on stage
Then you walked in my room
And like sparks in the dark
Life was suddenly thrilling and new
What between you and I
Just a comfortable lie
I'm the fool who believes when you look in my eyes
Prince, all alone, upon your throne
Your power is so frail
You raise your voice
You have no choice
Inside your gilded jail
The noise of footsteps; Stella walks up behind him, being dramatic on the balcony.
"The fuck are you doing?" Stella asks in annoyance.
"Reflecting." Stolas answered without looking back.
"Well, stop." Stella said. "It's annoying to hear you screeching your silly woes all the time."
"Why are you still here?" Stolas questions with a glare, turns to her. "You leave with Via on weekends, you watch Antauri getting educated and you started to warm up to him, but then you stay around the house despite everything."
"While it's true I'm warming up to him because he reminds me of his mother. But, I like tormenting you." Stella told him with a smirk. "I want to keep reminding you of what you did."
"I know of what I did." Stolas retorted. "I would feel bad if I hurt you, but we both know I didn't do that. You and I were arranged for one reason; to birth a precautionary heir of the Goetia family, nothing more. I tried so many years to make it comfortable for us; to have this family. Fenrir and Skadi were the only ones who made our lives comfortable for us, but with them gone, it's back to the way it is and it's never enough. The only reason I have endured your constant insults and cruelty was for that girl to have a normal life...I cannot do this anymore. I want you out. Now."
"What do you mean, out?" Stella questions, seethes.
"I mean out! Out of this palace, out of my life!" Stolas shouts. "We are getting The Divorce!"
"How dare you?!" Stella snarled angrily, steps forward as Stolas shrinks backwards, looking slightly frightened of her. "What do you think the rest of the Goetia family will think? Andrealphus..."
Stolas catches her hand, stopping it before it can hit his face and cutting her off.
"I don't care what your arrogant brother thinks!" Stolas shouts again. "And the only thing the Goetia family wanted from our marriage is already 17. So, it's over! I'm DONE!"
Stella stares intensely, then pulls her hand away from him in silent rage.
"Fine. I have no desire to stay in the place of a traitorous embarrassment. You have fallen from what little grace you had, and I know you'll pay for it." Stella said with a smug smile. "And I will have that little Antauri with me and with him by my side, he'll be the prince."
"I won't let you do that, Stella." Stolas retorted with a scowl. "Don't pretend that I haven't noticed the way you look at him. The way you look at him whenever Via is around, helping him in education, or they're hanging around here. You were thinking about taking him from their hands. He's with the I.M.P. and it's his choice."
"Oh? Well, it's gonna change when I have plans for him, and I know for a fact that I've taken a liking to that little darling!" Stella said arrogantly. "Once I have the papers signed and him in my custody, I'll have him as a son and he'll love me!"
"Does he really want that? What can you offer him, Stella?" Stolas questions. "What can you provide him that he already lost? A caring, supportive, and loving family. A family that loved him very much. Octavia, Loona, and the three imps have already given him the love and support he needed. He already had a hard life as it is, and I won't let you make him suffer."
"I..."
"You will never lay a hand on Antauri!" Stolas cuts in. "If Antauri saw the real you...he'd be disgusted. And he'd want nothing to do with you."
Stella recoils before scoffing and walks down the hall, muttering to herself.
"That fucking twink is full of it!" Stella said. "Antauri could never hate me! But...I only felt something that I never have for so many years when he embraced me...love...and for the first time in years...he melts my heart..."
That's it for the 14th chapter.
