Chapter 21: The Ars Goetia Palace
In the Hazbin Hotel, Blitz is helping Tilla get dressed. He puts her shoes on after helping get her clothes on.
"There you go, we're all done," Blitz says.
It's revealed that Tilla is wearing a cute red sundress with a black line horizontally across the waist area, and has a black ribbon on her back. She also wears white tights and black tiny mary janes. Tilla also has a smile on her face as she flaps her wings and wags her tail. The little toddler also giggles in response.
Blitz is wearing a casual pink shirt with blue jeans and brown boots.
"Are you ready to visit Stolas today?" Blitz asks.
Tilla happily nods in response.
Soon, Aurora walks in wearing a white shirt with light purple stripes on it, along with a light blue skirt, and black slip on shoes. She also has a white sun hat on her head.
Keenan is wearing a red shirt with blue overalls, and black boots.
Lastly is Loona. She is wearing a navy blue tank top that has a white upside down star on the chest area, with black shorts with a white moon on the right side, and her enchanted gloves on her hands.
"Hey dad, are you and Tilla ready?" Loona asks.
"We're ready. I can see you all are ready as well," Blitz says.
"We're ready dad," Aurora says.
Keenan nods his head in response.
"Well, we're ready when you are," Loona says.
"Alright then," Blitz says as he picks up his bag.
Loona then grabs the baby bag with all of Tilla's things.
Blitz looks at the bag, "I think I've gotten everything."
"I'm sure you did, dad. Don't worry," Loona says.
Then the family leave the room together and walk down stairs to the lobby to see Husk working at the bar and Niffty cleaning the lobby. Soon, Charlie and Vaggie walk in.
"Morning Blitz, everyone. Are you all heading out now?" Charlie asks.
"We are," Blitz says.
Niffty walks over, "Where are you going?"
"Stolas invited us to his place today, so we're going there for a visit," Blitz says.
"How nice," Vaggie says.
"Sounds like you guys are going to have fun," Charlie happily says.
"I'm sure we will have a good time. Loona and the others will be hanging out with Octavia while Stolas and I will have a chat. He's also going to give us a tour of his place, since he mentioned it being so big," Blitz says.
"Still hard to believe that it's already been like a week since Stolas and Zak decide to head into the hotel, and you and Stolas accidentally kissed," Vaggie says.
Blitz blushes, "Yeah. I didn't expect that either."
"I can only imagine how angry his ex-wife will do if she learns about this," Vaggie says.
"Why?" Keenan asks.
"Yeah. If I remember, aren't those who are divorced supposed to, you know, stay in their own lives," Loona says.
"Yeah… but um, from what I hear, those two fight even after the divorce, they don't even live in the same house and they argue. When they are, they glare at each other," Charlie says.
"You really think Stolas' ex-wife will get upset over a simple kiss? It was an accident," Aurora asks.
"I heard a bit about her from Charlie and well, she has quite the temper and arrogant attitude," Vaggie says.
The Jonas family sweat drops, excluding Tilla who is confused.
"But since Stella doesn't live together with Stolas anymore, you shouldn't have any trouble. Still, I hope your visit goes well and you all have a good time," Charlie says.
"Thanks. Stolas should be opening the portal right about now," Blitz says.
And right on cue, the portal to Stolas' home opens.
"There's the portal," Blitz says.
Then says, "Bye everyone, we'll see you later."
"Bye," Charlie says.
Soon, everyone says their goodbyes as Blitz and his family walk through the portal. Soon, the portal closes leaving everyone behind. After walking through the portal, Blitz and his family are now in front of Stolas' palace. They are surprised and amazed to see how big and elegant it is.
"Wow. It looks so big," Keenan says.
"Pretty castle," Tilla says.
"It's very elegant," Aurora says.
"Sure is," Loona says with a nod.
Blitz walks towards the front door with Loona and the kids follow after him. Arriving, Blitz knocks on the door, and the door opens to reveal an Imp servant.
"Good day," The servant says, "I suspect you're Blitz Jonas and family."
"That's correct," Blitz answers with a nod.
"Yes. Master Stolas is expecting you. Would you all please follow me," The servant says.
With that, the family walks inside and follows the servant down the halls. Blitz and the kids look around to see the castle and the plans around the halls.
"Wow. There are a lot of plans here," Loona says.
"Yes. Prince Stolas has a large variety of plant life, though I advise to be careful, some of them can be quite frisky," The servant says.
"Frisky?" Aurora says to herself.
Keenan shrugs his shoulders in response.
Soon, everyone stops in front of two large double doors.
"You'll find Prince Stolas in his study doing his royal duties. Be sure to knock first," the servant says.
"Of course. Thank you," Blitz says.
The servant then takes his leave.
Blitz then knocks on his door, and hears Stolas' voice, "Yes, you may enter."
Blitz opens the door allowing himself and the family to walk inside. They soon see Stolas working on his royal duties in his study.
"Hi Stolas," Blitz says.
Stolas sees Blitz and the family and says, "Hello Blitz. How are you and your family doing?"
"We're doing fine," Blitz says.
"Glad to hear you all are doing well," Stolas says and leaves the seat, "And hello to you too, Loona, Aurora, Keenan, Tilla."
"Hello," Aurora says.
"Hey," Loona says.
"Hi," Keenan says.
Still in Blitz's arms, Tilla waves, "Hi Stoly."
"I'm glad to see you all are doing well," Stolas says.
"Yeah. Staying at the hotel is a bit different, but we're doing fine," Aurora says.
"And we all had a good time," Keenan says.
"So Stolas, where's Octavia?" Loona asks.
"I believe she's in her bedroom," Stolas says.
But right on cue, "Hey dad," and Octavia enters the room.
"Hi Via, Blitz and the others are here," Stolas says.
"I can see that," Octavia says with a calm smile.
"Hey Octavia," Loona says.
"Hi," Aurora and Keenan say.
"Hi Via!" Tilla happily says.
"Het everyone, glad you all made it," Octavia says.
"So Via, what are you up to?" Aurora asks.
"Nothing much. I'm just doing stuff in my room," Octavia says.
"That's cool," Loona replies, "What kind of stuff do you like to do?"
"Not much, reading, listening to music, and all that, nothing much," Octavia says.
"Well then, now that everyone is here, we can begin the tour," Stolas says.
Then presents the study, "As you can see, this is my royal study. It's where I do my important royal duties."
"It sure is a big royal study," Keenan says.
"It looks kind of like a library," Aurora says.
"I do have a library, but it's bigger than here," Stolas says.
Shortly after…
The two families walk down the hall. Blitz and his family look around to see the many different plants and portraits.
"You sure got a lot of plants," Loona says.
"Indeed I have. I've been into botany since I was a child," Stolas says.
Blitz thinks for a minute and says, "I think I remember that. It's vague, but I think I remember you showing me a garden you started growing after your birthday."
"I'm glad you're able to remember it," Stolas says, "How about I show you the garden and the backyard?"
Unknown to the group, as they walk down the hall, something slithers down the hall and towards Blitz is.
"Tilla and I would love to see the garden," Aurora says, having Tilla in her arms.
"Flowers Flowers," Tilla happily says.
"Well, looks like the garden will be our next stop," Stolas says.
Then Octavia notices, "Uh where did Blitzo?"
Everyone looks around to notice Blitz is gone.
"Where did dad go?" Loona asks.
"He was here a minute ago," Stolas says.
Suddenly, they hear Blitz's voice, "Uh Stolas! Can you help me out?!"
Everyone runs back and rushes over into the kitchen. They are shocked to find a large potted carnivorous plant having Blitz wrapped in its vines and being lifted off his feet. The plant wraps its tentacles around Blitz's legs, arms, and pins his arms against his waist with another vine. Even a vine is placed on his shoulders and under his chin. One even wraps its vine around Blitz's tail.
Struggling, Blitz says, "I… I can't… this plant won't let me go."
"Dad, are you okay?" Aurora asks.
"I'm okay, but this plant won't let me go," Blitz says, struggling to escape.
They look to see a large white color carnivorous hell plant. It appears to have eyes and a large mouth, along with purplish pink like leaves and vines. It's sitting in a large flower pot.
"What is that?" Keenan asks.
Octavia sighs, "It's one of my dad's carnivorous plants. He grew this one for years."
"Carnivorous? It won't try to eat dad will it?" Loona ass, worried.
But Stolas reassures, "Do not worry, I've trained and raised it for years so it knows to not eat any guests and other demons. It does love zebra meat."
"So why did it grab dad?" Keenan asks.
Stolas giggles as he gently rubs the plants, "I think it's because he saw you all arrive it became curious. I think he wants to play with your dad."
"I appreciate it, but your plant has a strong grip on me," Blitz says, and feels the vine getting a little tighter.
"I know just the thing. He thinks if he does that he'll get treats," Stolas says and brings out a piece of zebra meat from the fridge.
He feeds it to his plants, and as a result, is able to let Blitz go.
"Thank you," Blitz says.
"It's no trouble. You weren't in real danger, but my plant can be quite playful at times," Stolas says.
He then says, "Now then, let us continue."
Soon enough, the group arrives in the castle garden. Everyone. Especially Aurora and Tilla are amazed.
"Wow. So this is your garden," Aurora says.
"It's really big," Keenan says.
"Big big," Tilla says.
He then sees some of the flowers, "Flower flower."
"I'm glad to see you like it," Stolas says.
Keenan looks around, "They sure are big."
"You must really like gardening," Loona says.
Then Keenan notices something through the glass, "Hey Stolas, what's that?"
Stolas and Octavia turn to see a large pool outside.
"That's the pool," Stolas says.
"You have a pool?" Loona asks.
Octavia nods, "We do."
Moments later, everyone is outside to see a large pool in the backyard. What surprises Blitz and his family is to see the pool up close. It's almost like there's stars sparkling in the night sky.
"Wow. Your pool looks beautiful," Loona says.
Tilla is very amazed by the water, "Ooooh. Water," and walks towards the pool, "Ooooh. sparkly water," And Tilla tries to climb in.
But Octavia picks Tilla up, "Oh no you don't."
"Tilla swim…" Tilla says with a frown and pouts.
"Not without your swimsuit, or your water wings you're not, or without adult supervision," Loona says.
Tilla puffs her cheeks in response.
Aurora giggles, "Looks like Tilla isn't having it."
"Let's continue with the tour," Stolas says.
After the tour outside, they are now walking down the hall. They also notice some of the portraits.
Aurora stops to see a particular one, "Aww, is that your Octavia?"
The group stops to see a picture of Stolas, and Octavia as a little girl, who is wearing a white dress and a blue ribbon around her waist and back.
Octavia blushes, "Yes. That's me. I was around five in that picture."
"You look so cute," Aurora says.
"That is actually a cute picture," Loona says.
"You look almost as big as me in that picture," Keenan says.
"I know, but you look so adorable, like a cute little doll," Aurora says, seeing the picture.
That makes Octavia embarrassed, "Okay, can we plan to move right along?!"
Throughout the tour, the group has seen the library, the dining room, the living room, and other places that can be seen in the palace.
"Hmm, I think we covered just about everywhere I can think of," Stolas says.
Octavia then turns to her dad and asks, "Dad, can I show them my room?"
"Of course you can. Blitz and I can chat while you all have fun," Stolas says.
Aurora turns to Dad, "Dad, can Tilla come with us?"
"Sure, just make sure to keep an eye on her," Blitz says.
And passes Loona the baby bag, "Here you go, Loona."
"Okay," Loona says and takes the bags.
Then the group walk off leaving the two fathers to head off to different areas.
Later on…
Octavia opens the door and presents it to everyone.
"This is my bedroom," Octavia says.
The group looks around to see Octavia's room. There is a large bed with a canopy, a telescope, a large shelf with books, and stuffed animal-like figures.
"It's a nice room," Loona says.
"Thank you. I like it too," Octavia says.
"It really is a nice room. Of course, it's quite different from a princess' room. Then again, Charlie's room is different as well," Aurora says.
"I may be a princess, but I'm still a teenager," Octavia says.
"That's true. You look like you're only a few years older than Aurora, but younger than me," Loona says.
"That's right. I'm not eighteen yet, but I'm getting close to it," Octavia says.
Keenan then sits on the couch and says, "So Octavia, what do you like to do?"
"Well, I like reading, astronom, listening to music, collecting taxidermy…" Octavia says.
"Collecting what?" Keenan questions.
"Taxidermy. It's kind of like stuffed animals, but you preserve animal bodies for display and such," Loona says.
Aurora cringes to hear it, "I don't think Sophie would like that."
"Sophie?" Octavia questions, but soon remembers, "Oh, you mean the little fox?"
"That's right. She's our family's little pet," Loona says.
"And she's really sweet, but she can act feral if any of us were in danger. As of now, she's playing with KeeKee and Fat Nuggets, taking a nap, or roaming around the hotel," Aurora says.
"How nice," Octavia says.
"So Octavia, do you have any pets?" Keenan asks.
"No, I don't, but I don't think my dad's plants count," Octavia says.
"Plants? Like the one that grabbed my dad?" Loona questions.
"That's right. My dad grows various plants, and some are really alive," Octavia says.
"That's cool," Keenan says.
"Maybe, but they're kind of, well, carnivorous, so my dad had to train them so they won't eat the servants or the guests," Octavia says.
"Yikes," Aurora replies.
Tilla then reaches her hands towards Octavia, "Via. Via."
Loona giggles, "I think Tilla wants you to hold her."
"Uh, I don't know…" Octavia says, sounding unsure.
"Don't worry Octavia, Tilla is a good girl and she really likes you to hold her," Aurora says.
"Well…" Octavia replies, thinking a bit.
She then says, "Alright."
Octavia then takes Tilla and holds her in her arms.
Tilla giggles and says, "Pretty birdie. Birdie Birdie."
Octavia blushes, "Uh, you don't have to call me birdie. You can just call me Via."
"Via. Via," Tilla happily says.
Octavia blushes more and begins gushing towards her, "Awww, your sister is just too cute."
"Tilla gets that a lot," Loona says.
"Yeah. She's just a little cutie pie," Aurora says.
Keenan nods his head, "Yes, but she can be a bit of a trouble maker."
"How so?" Octavia asks.
Loona snickers, "You mean like when Tilla took Alastor's microphone without him noticing it and used it like a toy."
Octavia asks, in shock, "She did what?!"
"She did. She was trying to imitate Alastor," Loona says.
Octavia giggles, "That would be cute if she didn't simply take something from the Radio Demon," She then asks, "and he didn't get mad at her?"
"Well he wasn't too mad, though he advised us to make sure she stays out of trouble. Besides, Tilla is still little, she doesn't know that she can't take things without asking," Loona says.
Meanwhile…
Stolas and Blitz are in the palace garden at the back of the palace, having some tea and having a chat with one another.
"So Blitz, how are you and your family doing in the princess' hotel? I know it's been a week since we saw you, but I want to know how you've been doing," Stolas asks.
"We've been doing good. Though, the rehabilitation activities are kind of slow," Blitz says.
"I can imagine. Though Zak and I can't help but be very concerned about you and your family staying in the hotel with the Radio Demon," Stolas says, worried.
"I know. Vaggie told me about Alastor's reputation, but he seems to be a normal gentleman," Blitz says.
"I have my doubts," Stolas replies and takes a sip of his drink.
"I understand, but so far Alastor hasn't done anything to be concerned about, but we're doing our best to avoid making deals with him," Blitz says.
"That's good to hear," Stolas says.
Then Stolas asks, "So Blitz, just curious. Did you remember anything else from the past week?"
Blitz thinks about it and says, "Well, I started to remember more of our first playdate. And I remember you and I have a lot of fun. There is this one place I really loved. I remember you and I play around what appears to be like a chandelier. I really enjoyed it."
"I'm glad you think so," Stolas says.
"I still feel bad about what happened when we first met. You were so nice and I ended up taking things from you. Even if I got caught, you were able to vouch for it after telling you both the truth," Blitz says.
Stolas giggles, "Yes. I remember. But of course, my father did make some conditions like coming over to my home to play more and to help out around the palace when you're having your days off. Not that I mind, I enjoy spending time with you."
Blitz smiles, "I guess you're right. I actually enjoyed spending time with you."
"Indeed," Stolas says.
Then Blitz asks, "So Stolas, what have you been up to?"
"Well, as a prince, I have learned a lot about my royal duties and of course, having to start a family. Despite all the hardship I've gone through, Octavia is the only thing that's worth though my uh, marriage," Stolas says.
"Really?" Blitz asks.
"Yes. Stella is not really the nicest demon in all of Hell. Despite what happened, she ended up doing something right in my marriage. She gave me Octavia, and like I said, it was worth it," Stolas says.
He then asks, "So Blitz, how was your marriage with your wife? What was she like?"
"Well Crystal is really nice," Blitz answers, "She's kind, generous, honest and also despite her illness, Crystal is doing her best to be strong for the family. She's also a pretty good cook and does her best with the household even though she got sick. Even after her condition took a turn for the worse, she always smiled."
Stolas smiles and says, "Sounds like you and your wife were really happy together."
"Yes," Blitz says, "We've been friends for a long time, and over time we started developing feelings for each other. Of course, things got a little awkward when both our parents decided to arrange our marriage, but we made it work through the awkwardness."
"I remember you mentioning it. Though, it's still a bit difficult to understand your situation," Stolas says.
"Yeah, it's hard to explain, but in the place where I've lived in the other world, families still considered doing arranged marriages when they turn eighteen. So, you can imagine how awkward it was for both of us when our parents announced our marriage and yet we were already seeing each other. It's a bit embarrassing," Blitz says, and begins to blush.
Stolas giggles, "That sounds quite awkward and embarrassing, but sounds to me that you both were able to work something out." then sighs, "At least it's better than my arranged marriage to a girl and ended up hating her guts."
"Is she really that bad?" Blitz asks.
"It's a long story, and honestly, I'm glad that you have never met Stella. Even if you did, I'll be glad to hear about you not remembering her. I tried my best to make this marriage work, to have this family, but it was never enough. She always insults me, is cruel to me, and even talks bad about me behind my back, to my face. Not to mention throw things at me. The only reason why I put up with it is so Octavia can have a life with both her parents," Stolas says.
Blitz gives off a stare and says, "So basically Stella is an awful demon to be married to?"
Stolas nods his head in response.
And let out a sigh, "Yes. The last thing I want is to vent my trouble to you since I've always been able to talk about it with Zak. It's just that Stella always seems to make me so mad and stressed that I feel like pulling my feathers out. And five years ago, when she ended up bringing Octavia into it, acting like she didn't care about her, I just… I've just had it… And decided to divorce her. At first I wanted to have sole custody, but Stella is still Via's mother, and Andrealphus and some of my siblings convinced me otherwise until she turned eighteen…"
"Ouch," Blitz responds, "Sounds like you and Stella really hate each other."
"You have no idea," Stolas says, shaking his head.
Then Stolas takes a deep breath to calm himself, "But enough about that. I want to show you something."
"What is it?" Blitz asks.
Stolas stands up and presents his hand out, "Follow me."
Blitz gets off his seat and reaches his hand out, "Okay," and takes Stolas' hand.
Shortly after…
Stolas and Blitz walk down the hallway. Of course, Blitz can't see anything because Stolas has placed a blindfold on him.
"So why do I need to wear this?" Blitz asks.
Stolas giggles, "It's a surprise, silly."
"Um okay," Blitz says.
"We're almost there," Stolas says.
Soon, Stolas and Blitz, still blindfolded, walk down the halls until they reach the two blue divided doors. Stolas opens the door and escorts Blitz inside. Then the two walk together to a specific part of the room.
"Alright, we're here," Stolas says.
And with the snap of his fingers, the blindfold has been removed from Blitz's face. Blitz soon looks at what Stolas wants to show him and is surprised. What he sees is the chandelier that has long strings of glittering pink crystals.
Seeing the chandelier ends up triggering a part of his memories. When Blitz and Stolas were children, they ran around the palace and came across the chandelier. They both became astonished and amazed by the glittering decoration and play around it. Then the two end up lying down on the floor to look at the glittering crystals.
Back to reality, Blitz reaches his hand out and lets his hand slide a bit on the crystals.
"I… I haven't seen it in years…" Blitz says.
"You remembered?" Stolas asks, a little surprised.
"Uh huh. I remember we used to play around it all the time. We always slide our hands across it and let the strings swing the crystals around. And then we lie down on the floor to look at them. It's still a bit of a blur, but I really remember it." Blitz says.
Stolas smiles, "I'm really glad."
Blitz continues looking at the hanging decoration and eyes sparkle from it. Stolas can't help but smile to see Blitz enjoying and remembering a little from his past. However, he still feels that it's a long way to go, especially trying to figure out what happened to him that led him to another world.
Soon, one of the servants walks in, "Stolas, sir."
Stolas turns to the servant, "Yes."
"Well um, you see…" but before he can answer, the door slams open to reveal another avian demon.
And judging by her appearance, this Goetia is female. A tall, slim, white avian demon. She has long, hair-like feathers that have gray tips and a large gray stripe on her head. She has a short pink beak, and very long curved eyelashes. She has gray markings underneath her eyes, which themselves have red sclera with light pupils. She wears a white dress with puffed sleeves and feather trimming, along with black accents. She is seen wearing a crown, and has painted nails underneath her black gloves.
The avian glares at Stolas and firmly says, "Stolas."
Stolas groans in frustration, "Stella. I didn't expect to see you back so soon after the last time you decided to pester me."
"I'm not here for you, you pathetic excuse for a prince!" Stella angrily says and walks up to him, "I happen to be sent here to discuss some Goeita matters, so I have to talk to you and check up on our daughter."
"You could have just talked to her on the phone. You have her number," Stolas argues, "At least I got to go screaming or throwing a tantrum like a banshee."
"Well at least I'm not some boring stiff," Stella angrily says.
"Like I haven't heard that one before," Stolas says, annoyed.
"Well at least I don't go hang around with a bunch of low class demons like a fuckin plebeian," Stella angrily says.
Blitz is rather dumbfounded to see Stolas and this other Goetia arguing out of nowhere. Blitz is forced to watch as they argue. Blitz soon turns his head to see the door opening, and sees Octavia, Loona, and the kids walking in, and Octavia has Tilla in her arms. Upon seeing the argument, they are dumbfounded.
Blitz walks over to them, "Hey kids, how are things going?"
"Fine, but uh, what's going on here?" Loona asks.
"We started hearing screaming and showing and decided to see what's going on," Aurora says.
"We can hear it from Via's room," Keenan says.
"What's going on?" Loona's voice speaks up.
"Honestly, I'm kind of confused about this myself," Blitz says.
Everyone turns to see the two Goetias arguing with one another.
"Who's that?" Keenan asks.
Octavia sighs, "That's Stella Goetia, my mother."
"She seems nice…" Aurora sheepishly.
"And loud," Keenan says.
"Loud white dovey," Tilla says.
"They were loud," Blitz says, and approaches the two Goetias.
Soon, blitz gets between them, "Alright, that's enough arguing from you two."
That ends up stopping the argument. Stolas mananges to calm down, but Stella glares at the Imp.
"And who are you supposed to be?" Stella questions.
"Sorry about it, ma'am," Blitz says, "My name is Blitz Jonas, I'm actually an old friend of Stolas," He bows a bit and says, "It's nice to meet you, and I do appreciate you two for stopping the argument, especially with our children here."
Stella crosses her arms, "Like I would listen to an Imp like you, even though you've become quite the topic among the other Goetias."
Stolas sighs, "So you've heard about it as well, huh."
"I think everyone in Hell has by now," Octavia says.
"Regretfully yes," Stolas says.
Stella then notices her daughter with the other demons, and more specially Aurora, Keenan, and Tilla.
"Octavia, who are these weird looking beings?" Stella questions.
"Weird?" Keenans says, confused.
Blitz crosses his arms with a frown, "They happen to be my children ma'am."
"Oh really? I thought I was dealing with more imps, not some Hellhound and three freaks," Stella says, annoyed.
Loona growls in anger, "What did you just say?!"
Blitz tries to calm her down, "Loona, calm down."
"Mom, don't call my friends freaks," Octavia says.
"'Friends? A Hellhound and three weirdos? I swear, you're a lot like your father. It's bad enough that you're friends with an Imp," Stella says.
Blitz says, "Come on, let's try not to get into arguments in front of the children. We're just here for a friendly visit, nothing too crazy."
"Why would I take words from an Imp, especially with a magic wielding freak," Stella says.
She then walks away, "Whatever, I'm leaving, it was a waste coming back here. I'll call you about the important matters another time."
Everyone watches Stella leave and she slams the door.
"Your mother sure is something," Aurora says, sheepishly
"White dove is mean. Via's mama is mean," Tilla says.
Stolas sighs, "She most certainly is."
Octavia sighs, "I'm sorry about how my mom acted."
"It's okay. I'm surprised to see your mother is a piece of work." Loona says.
Blitz turns to Stolas, "I can see how stressful you are with Stella acting like this."
"Yes. I apologize for how Stella treated you and said bad things about your children," Stolas says, and apologizes.
"It's okay Stolas. You didn't do anything wrong, so you don't have anything to apologize for," Blitz says.
Stolas smiles, "Thank you, Blitz."
Loona turns to Octavia, "I'm starting to see that your dad divorced your mom."
"Sadly, that's one of the reasons," Octavia says, rolling her eyes.
Soon, Tilla notices the chandelier and reaches her hands out to it.
Eagerly, Tilla says, "Pretty pretty."
Octavia giggles, "Looks like Tilla like the chandelier."
"I have to agree. It looks really beautiful," Aurora says.
"I'm glad you like it," Stolas says, "I really like it too."
Stolas and Blitz look at the decoration. Then the two gently take each other's hands with a smile. Unaware of them, Loona and Octavia witness it, and turn to each other with a bit of a surprised expression, but can't help but feel something is starting to bloom between them.
Sometime later, blitz and the family are ready to head back to the hotel.
"Thank you for inviting us over," Blitz says.
"It's no trouble, I'm glad you all have a good time. We should schedule another visit," Stolas says.
Then turns to Octavia, "What do you think, Via?"
"Well, I actually don't mind having them over. It's nice for them to come back and visit," Octavia says.
"Sounds cool. Maybe next time you can show us any fun places for us to do," Loona says.
"That's actually a good idea. I can show you some of the stores I like going to," Octavia says.
"Sounds nice," Aurora says.
Blitz soon says to Stolas, "Still, it's very nice talking to you."
"Yes. I have quite a good chat as well. Now then…" Stolas says and uses his magic to create a portal.
"We hope to see you again soon," Stolas says.
"You too," Blitz says.
Everyone says their goodbyes and Blitz and his family walk through the portal before Stolas closes it, returning the Jonas family home.
Stolas smiles and says in thought, "I hope I'll be able to see Blitz again, very soon," and his cheeks blushes a bit.
