Chapter 1: A rumor in Thias
15 years passed as the town of Rosalie was now renamed Thias, but that didnt change much on how much change had happened as the kingdom was now far worst for were as the promise for a better life for everyone was long forgotten as the city was now full of factories and soup kitchens that were open for those who were too poor to buy food but there were often long lines for everyone to get food.
Many dreamed of the days when the royals were back in charge as they worked there jobs day by day as they started to sing.
Thais is gloomy! Thais is bleak!
A poor half spider, half imp sinner stand in a factory shivering dispite there fur it was just too cold.
My underwear got frozen standing here all week
A bell alerting the workers, Human, sinners, helleborn, lesser angels and hybrids that it was the end of the workday as they cheerfully timed out.
Oh since the revolution our lives have been so grey!
Thank goodness for the gossip that gets us through the day
Hey!
They all walked out of the factory joining the other workers as they gossiped and talked to one another. Among the group were three imps, two males and 1 female. One was a serpent faced like imp with a hearth sped birthmark and curled black and white stripes of a imp dressed in a brown-black trench coat, the other was like him but female with black hair tied in a single ponytail dressed in a coat with a hood. The last was another male imp but dressed like a jester with his hat and in a trench coat that was more colorful as his perosnality at times and wrapped bandages on his arms and pointed almost boot like feet. There names were Blitzo, Barbie and Frizzaroli as the trio stopped near a newspaper seller who was holing a picture of Lucifer on the front.
Have you heard there's a rumor here in Thais
Have you heard?
What they're saying on the street?
It then shows two robotic sinners named Loopy and Lyle who were holding up a newspaper to the listeners who were curious
Loopy: Although the king did not survive
Lyle: One nephew may be still alive!
All: the prince Lucifer!
A angelic government official glared at the group as they scattered as Blitzo shook his head as his siblings agreed as they walked off as the newspaper seller called to them.
And please do not repeat
The three imps walked around noticing the people whispering to each other as they worked as the threesome shared a look and smirked and chuckled to themselves about what is going on.
Its a rumor
A legend a mystery!
Something whispered in a alleyway or through a crack!
"The officials can scare the people but it won't stop them from talking" said Blitzo "No kidding, and according to Asmodus the are saying the same in Aveyond if Lucifer really is the same angel he was a a child" said Frizzarol as they went to a door as Barbie wire whispered a phase into it as they were lead into a large market place
Its a rumor
That's pat of our history
The tri walked by a fortune teller as they listened to him. Usually they dont listen to such things but right now they were disgusting a topic of interest
They say his royal uncle
Will pay a royal sum
To someone who can bring the prince back!
The siblings walked off as they came to a large staircase when a whistle is heared as they turned and saw Adam now older around 24 he now had a goute and his eyes had dark circles around his eyes and was dressed a white and blue trench coat, jeans and gold heeled boots. He was no longer a servant and became a con-man after he lost his adopted Grandmother in the coup. "Yo Guys!" He yelled "Adam" shouted Blitzo as the threesome approached as they talked about the situation as a imp named Wally wackford ran up with a painting
Wally: 20 dollars for this painting its a Mornignstari I can sear
Adam shook his head as they continued as they passed a old human female showing footie pjs.
Old women: Count Morningstairs Pajamas come on buy a pair
Adam, Blitzo, Barbie and Frizzaroli shared a skeptic look as the continued on as a human half angel sold a cloak as Adam looks at it with curiosity.
Half angel: I got this from the palace its lined with real fur!
It could be worth a fortune if it belonged to him!
Adam tossed him a coin for luck as they continued to there hideout "Alright imp fam, I got the con of the century for us! This time it will make us rich!" Said Adam as the three imps were skeptic "Oh really when have that happened before?" Said Barbbie as the schemes that were done hadn't made them rich at all "This time I really mean it *Shows a newspaper* read it" he said as it showed a older looking with a headline that caught there attention "Let me see that *Picks it up* Lord Saint Peter, who settled into the city of Aveyond will pay 1,000,000 dollars to whom who will bring back the lost Prince Lucifer" said Blitzo lowering the paper "Adam you realize your not the only one who thought of this, Asmodus and Stolas told us in letters there are others who thought this plan to fool " said Blitzo as Adam wrapped a large arm around the thinner imp.
"True, but none of them know the ins and out of the royal family like I do, I can easily train any boy to be Lucifer, though we may need to find a fallen angel as you know that full blooded angels need to bath in holy water every 5 months to stay pureblooded, shorter when they are children" said Adam which was true due to the effect of earth and hells energies pureblooded angels need to wear either a holy stone ring or bath in holy water to prevent a fall trandformation unless blessed by god himself "Just think about it, no more foraging for travel papers, soon we'll be eating rich food! Charming boys and girls with our money! And maybe show those naysayers the respect imps deserve" said Adam as the three imps hummed as Blitzo and Frizzaroli caught the eye of a member of the Goitias who were cousions to the morningstars "Alright we will do this even though we still worry" said Frizzaroli "Excellent now do you have the tickets?" Asked Adam as Barbie pulled out 5 tickets "Fresh off the ticket office, five bound to the earth bound train to the Heavens needle" said Barbie passing out the tickets. "Ah! Yes soon it will be us out there free! Away from this tyranny, one ticket for you, me, Blitzo, Frizzaroli and for Lucifer" said Adam as he started to sing
Adam: its the rumor, the legend
The mystery!
Its the prince Adam who will help us fly! You and I freinds
Will go down in history!
Adam got excited as he began to pack his bags with the others doing the same as he picked up a familiar music box…
We'll find a boy to play the part and teach him what to say, Dress him up and take him to Avyond
Imagine the reward his dear old Uncle will pay!
Who else could pull it off but you three and me?
We'll be rich!
Blitzo, Barbie and Frizzaroli: We'll be rich
Adam: we'll be out!
The imps: we'll be out!
All four: and Thias will have some more to talk about
Soon laden with there bags as they jumped off the railings with ease as they slid down the roofs, though Frizzaroli legs stretched showing they were prostethics as they landed on the ground as more workers seem to gossip and whisper
