Song is Calling All the Monster by China Anne McClain

A Different Perspective:

Those moments outside of the hotel Constantine spoke of to Elanye span over a few months over slow time period. Finding time when not officially fulfilling his royal duties and affairs as prince of hell. Progress reports from Serenity about Overlords' from their meetings to their activities. Keeping up appearances to the court, so the nobles wouldn't get suspicious. Having private audiences with members of the Ars Goetia over the most pointless issues. Weekly to monthly meetings with the Seven Deadly Sins over simplest topics. Traveling around the 7 rings during major events had the tradition of the royal being present.

Finding time away to privately just be with her took place in the form of trips to the living world ...

First was taking her to the rarely opened, kilometer long passageway that connects the Uffizi Gallery to the Pitti Palace, in Italy

Second was to the Van Gogh Exhibit: The Immersive Experience, in Rome

Third they looked in on BODY WORKS in Germany

Fourth they stopped by the studio Ghibli Museum in Japan

Fifth be guests to Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum in Austin, tx

Sixth they stepped into The Neon Museum in Las Vegas

Seventh they gave a try to Muzeon Park of Arts in Moscow

Eighth they checked out Cartoon Museum in Fitzrovia

Ninth was the Smithsonian art museum in Washington DC

Tenth walked through Honolulu Museum of Art in Hawaii

Where he learned she knew just as much about art as he did with fun stories and funny jokes. Which she shared with him each time they took a tour, by asking insightful questions. Sharing her own form of summed up history on pieces that caught their attention. Which left him to quietly listen and observe in his human disguise.

Also turned into moments of him sharing his favorite spots of natural beauty of Earth with her. Mostly natural parks and historic sites at all hours of the day or night through portals. Last a few hours since he would sit down and show her the view these places came with. Whether they were star filled the skies with the moon or just when the sun was setting. Darkest blue of witching hour or clouds from a day ending formed a living land scape painting. Always followed by the silence of nature all around them, Chirping of crickets in tall grass to splashing of waves on the rocks. To the wind carrying the song of a bird when blowing pass them with a chill.

In turn with him, she showed him the parts of his home dimension weren't all that bad, if one looked past the chaotic mess. Lust Ring has excellent customer service when finding spell materials. Greed Ring was a great place to find recycled materials, if you knew where to look. Pride Ring had second hand shops where one could find legit designer brands and other treasures. Sloth ring for reasonable equipment with right connections at a reasonable price. Wrath and Envy rings were great places to forage for potion ingredients. Gluttony ring where one went to recharge magical energy in a party scene.

Left each other to see the other in a new light one evening when searching for a rare form of sea glass. By walking the shoreline side by side with a full jar of red stones in all shapes and sizes. Held by Elanye with Constantine helping every few steps in picking one up.

"That should be enough for my brother," She lightly shook the jar around, "Thanks again for helping me out despite the sand."

"No harm since today was a productive one," Constantine did his best to ignored grains of sand, "Our next location will have less of this."

Way his tail shook out of annoyance told Elanye about his emotional state when around him. When he gets angry, his tail moves around in a whip- like motion just making noise. Taking on the appearance of a rattler belonging to rattlesnake ready to pounce. When he blushed as red as skies of hell out of embarrassment or awkwardness. His tail would coil into itself like a party blowout. He went completely dead emotional, his tail laid flat without a single wiggle. Not even a single flitch or twitch when he stepped into the room full of nobility.

"Oh! Before we part," She fished a pair of gloves from her basket with a ribbon bow tied around them, "Here."

"Looking by the craftsmanship and embroidered work," He accepts them from her with hands barely touching, "They were crafted by … you."

He knew right off she put a lot of care into crafting these for him from flawless seams to embroidery work. Gold and black thread work wrapped around the image of a rose bouquet. White material that she cut to measurements of his hands to include his talons and sewn together. The ribbon had been cut and tied into a star shaped knot as he ran a thumb over. Followed flashes of her memory of work she put into making the gloves from preparing to tying the ribbon. Admiration and lingering notes of Love Can Build A Bridge by Fisk Jubilee Singers, Jelly Roll, and K. Michelle played. Like a fading slide show in his mind as her voice called to him.

"Until next time?" He caught her asking as she pulled her slowly hand away from his.

"I know where to fetch you." He agreed with eyes on her.

Watching her reach up and brush her fingertips upon the gemstone of her clasp worn on her ear was never a boring sight. Since the air was filled with a swirling mass of mist forming a broom. Which he learned was how she got around when not being driven around by her brothers. She mounted in a sidewards sitting position as her basket securely hung from the pole end. She kept her back straight and the way she positioned her hands to brace herself. Those strong, shapely thighs sat upon her broom's handle. Showed Constantine how experienced she was when she took into the air. Her blue eyes locked with his crimson 4 point star-like slit black ones. Until she was swallowed by a colored fog of her own creations and vanished from his sight. Led him releasing a breath he never knew he was holding as he slowly closed his eyes.

Recalling the electric snap he repeatedly felt whenever they bare hands came together. It crawled from his tail, up his spine and into the base of his brain. Tiny hairs on the back of his neck and goosebumps form on throughout his skin. Just pchyical effect of a minor mental link he had witnessed a few times. she openly shared a colorful world of her mental scape with music and still life images.

Carried that cozy warmth that he came to accept about Elanye while reminded him of happier times with his favorite aunt

Stayed with him when he teleported to the most private area of his castle not just anyone could enter. Creaking hinges of solid wooden doors moving on their own when he faced them with opened eyes. Revealing a vast space beyond them with a vaulted ceiling made of carved stone. Metal light fixtures looked like Candelabras with candles already resting in them. Created a soft light when each wick welcomed him in his state. He shook off the loose sand before entering, by heading to the siting area of his room. Crackle of a fireplace made of stone pillars and veins of gold that stretched upward. Two full body statues lay on either side with a mantle far above average height of a sinner. Where one had to walk up 2-steps to approach. He passed with Elanye's gift still held within his hands. As he looked over toward a jointing wall, where two curtains were drawn open from a large window. Wasn't view of the city scape below or heaven in the sky above. His eyes settle on the paint easel that he used when he quietly painted. A half done portrait of Elanye on a high quality canvas sat waiting to be finished. The angle in which she was depicted was from his first memories of her.

hephzibah could be found on Elanye's swing in the early morning light after being among the first to wake. Back and forth she moved on the swing in a moment of silence. Welcoming the haunting howl of wind through treetops and feral hellhounds to the moon. Leaning on a hand braided rope of the swing when rays of light shined through. Cold chill that lingered from the passing breeze had her adjusting her bulky sweater. Which made her relax when the swing creaked from her slight movements. Brought a smile she never wore when in heaven on her face, but was captured in that one photo.

She ended up gaining company in the form of Wywave's rarely seen mini goat nuzzling against her. She landed her slipper clad feet into the ground to stop moving in place. Since the down she reached to pick up the little goat brushing against her leg. Who didn't struggle in her hold when taken in her lap and allowed to rest. Instead moved closer within her arms with his head laying on her chest. Is what put her in a mood she was never did when a tune came to her lips.

Callin' all the monsters, callin' all the monsters
Callin' all, callin' all, callin' all the monsters

Oh yea aye, oh yea aye, oh yea aye

Heart thumps and you jump
Comin' down with goosebumps!

We're wantin' to (yeah)
Ehh ehh

If you stayed in too late to be getting afraid
This scene extreme
I, I, I, I'ma get you so scared!

She glides her fingers through fur that had been recently brushed by Wywave when he woke up. Who greeted her from his garden when she saw him from the swing with gardening equipment. Up she went from her feet calling to her unnamed leopard to follow her beside her. Who left the highest branches of the tree he rested in to walk with her. Keeping in step when she hurried over and was allowed to help. Wywave tend to his garden after putting a bleeping goat down.

We're wantin' to (yeah)
We're hauntin' you (yeah)
We're wantin' to (yeah)
Ehh ehh

Gonna get your body shakin'
And wishin' you could just awaken

Here we go

Tonight all the monsters gonna dance
We're comin' to get you!
If you're only dreaming
Why I hear you screaming?
Tonight all the monsters gonna dance
We're comin' to get you!
We're comin' to get you!

She was directed toward the hidden water tank to fill a watering can as Wywave pruned the apple trees. Beside her unnamed leopard and little goat followed her as if connected at her hips. Had her watch her step before and after she filled the watering can from the tank. Remembering the warning about the talismans hanging from trees at the end of the orchard. Not to step beyond them since they keep shades from entering his garden.

Callin' all the monsters, callin' all the monsters
Callin' all, callin' all, callin' all the monsters

You hide or you try
Kiss tomorrow goodbye!
We thrill to your chill
B-B-B-Buckin' for a freak-out!

We're hauntin' you (yeah)
We're wantin' to (yeah)
Ehh ehh

Gonna get your body shakin'
Wishin' you could just awakex

Which she wouldn't test since she recalled they acted as a protective means from more problematic ones. Corbin and her saw when they entered the woods first week with Zon. Feral hellhounds warded them off upon acknowledging the new additions, sniffs and nuzzling took place as welcoming gestures. It became one of her favorite memories when drawn from her thoughts. Down she looked at a stumpy tail wagging at her as bitty eyes with horns bleeped. He was curled up against her unnamed leopard licking him.

Callin' all the monsters, callin' all the monsters
Callin' all, callin' all, callin' all the monsters!
Gonna paint it red inside your head, head, head
Like a demon choir playing with fire, fire, fire
Gonna get your body shakin'
Wishin' you could just awake

Into the garden she carried the watering reaching up to brush her hair away from her ear. Revealing new gifts from Wywave and Zon within her ear, Earrings set that matched what Elanye and Wywave wore. She never taken off of her ear while following Wywave's careful instructions.

Tonight all the monsters gonna dance
We're comin' to get you!
Tonight all the monsters gonna dance
We're comin' to get you!
If you're only dreaming
Why I hear you screaming?
Tonight all the monsters gonna dance
We're comin' to get you!
We're comin' to get you!

Oh yea aye, oh yea aye, oh yea aye
We're comin' to get you!

"Usual Elayne is the singer," Wywave felt the joy emitting from her voice, "I think we found our new singer for the trees."

"Thanks and does he have a name?" She looked at his goat.

"Muun." Wywave watched hephzibah and his goat.

He smiled at the way he watched his goat start to interact with her when she started to water. Host playfully chased after her when she ran across the footpaths with him. Watering can be held at the right angle for the water to drop onto the plants. Bleeping and the laughing told him this was going to be a busy morning. Inside the cabin Corbin was also awake and reading a book from Wywave's collection. He was sitting on a patch work couch just lost to the story inside with a light blanket. Chewy's was curled up in his lap with half eaten leg in held in his little legs.

"Are you ready for today?" Zon passes him with his arms full of chopped wood.

"Yea," Corbin marked his place, "Just tell me when we leave."

"Good luck and I'll see you tonight," Zon said, "Listen and behave."

Corbin would end up placing the book back on the shelf once he got off the couch not wanting to disturb Chewy. Making his way toward Elanye getting ready to leave for her deliveries. He was greeted by her unnamed tarantula sitting near the newly arrived materials for his awakening ritual. All for Corbin since hephzibah had already gone through the process.

"I see no Love or Luck potions." He noticed her bottles.

"Sin of Lust don't take highly to any who dapples in artificial love and out respect for Overlord of Luck, we stay away from false fortune." Elanye explained.

"So we don't deal?" Corbin came to understanding, "I am going now."

He backed away slowly toward the cracked open door to ready himself for the day ahead. Quickly dismissing the subject all together then push since he had to much on his mind. Welcoming Chewy his snack right behind him to join him.

"He has a bright future ahead of him," Zon removed the tea kettle from the stove top, "Makes one wonder … "

"Who knows." Elanye smiled.

She went back to reviewing a list about where she would be going to drop everything off. Securely tucking the cloth when she was done before deciding on what book she was taking. Making sure to check her flip phone had a full battery in passing. Moving to pick up her mess, Picking up an Embroidery loop with hand cross stitch piece she was doing of Constantine from her memories. She lingered in staring at a set of eyes demonkind told her doesn't feel anything. Who to her didn't have the icy heart and fury of a dragon behind those eyes. Instead had an intensity for art work of all kinds in which he shared with her and was a good listener.
