Chapter 1: Stolas Flight
Later in the throne room Stella was talking to someone bowing to her as it was a half imp/half snake hybreid dress as a cowboy with yellow bulls eye like eyes, his name was Striker a hitman for hire "Take him far into the forest area from our manor, find a secluded glade where he can pick berries or wildflowers *Striker nodded at the idea* and there you will kill him!" Said Stella firmly surprising Striker "You majesty are you sure will that cause many of the goitias to ask questions?" Asked Striker knowing there will be a fall out "You can make sure that it looks like a ambush and you understand the penalty if you fail" she said as Striker looked away knowing the penalty…and what may happen to his wife and child "And to make sure you do not fail to bring back his heart *Grabs a grimware* bring back his hear in his grimware" she said firmly showing it to him as he take it.
Later at a meadow area Stolas (Now dressed as a prince) was humming around and seeing there were berries in bloom decided to harvest some for the imp chefs
Stolas: One song I have but one song
He sang as Striker watched, a innocent owl so diffrent then the crueler goitias as he felt a twinge of guilt and remorse as Stolas saw a crying tiny imp child of wrath as Stolas walked over "Hello there little one? Where are your parents?" He asked gently as the imp shook his head sadly "Oh poor thing I believe you are lost" he said as the imp cried missing his parents as Solas gently wipped the tears away "Oh please dont cry little one, why dont you smile for me?" He asked as the imps tears slowed as he smiled a bit "There now little one" he said as he gently picked the little Imp up "Your parents cant be too far" he said as Striker prepared to head close to the poor unsuspecting owl as he had a hand to his dagger on his hip as Stolas noticed a imp mother and father looking around "There they are can you walk over to them?" Asked Stolas as the little imp boy ran to his parents "Goodbye little one" he said happy to see the imp happy with his parents as he smiled remember his parents before there passing as a shadowed covered him as he fell with a shocked gasp as he saw Striker taking out his angelic dagger to strike and kill the poor owl as he was about to strike but frowned dropping the dagger guilty.
"I cant! I cant do it! I just cant kill you little owl, please forgive me! Please forgive me!" He asked as Stolas was confused "Striker what do you mean? What is going on?" He asked worried and confused "Shes mad! Jelous of you! She'll stop at nothin!" Said Striker "Who? Who are you talking about?" Asked Stolas confused and scared "The queen" he said "Stella?" Confused as Stirkier pushed him to run "you need to run away! Hide get out of this ring and hide!" Said Striker "To where?!" "Any ring! Never come back!" Said Striker as Stolas magic seem to kick in in fear to create a portal as he ran through it not caring where he goes as he needs to protect himself leaving Striker knowing he cant come back with proof until he got an idea "That should work and to get my family out of here" he said as he hurried to do his plan.
Meanwhile Stolas portal took him to what looks like a city with a blood red sky and a pentagram moon as he breathed in and out in a panic as he started to run and flee but all around him with how new it seems and feels as it felt like the shadows or eyes around was staring at him as the shadows reaching out to grab him as he panicked scared at the feeling of being alone as he tripped on a loose brick as he saw more nightmarish faces and creatures trying to grab him as he continued to flee until he reached his limit as he got to the middle of a shopping area and got to his knees and cried in fear and sadness at what had happened, at what Stella plotted and had done as the area around him seems to look more peaceful and calmer as Imps of various sizes and hybridization stepped out along with various pokemon and digimon stepped over curious at the owl as a little imp/hellhound hybrid child curious slowly approached him as Stolas looked up "Oh!" He said surprised as the nervous imps and pokemon and digimon ran away to hide "Oh please dont run away I wont hurt you" said Stolas as the little imps and mons slowly came out as they looked at the owl "I am awfully sorry, I didnt mean to frighten you, but you dont know what I have been through all because I was afraid, I am ashamed of the fuss I made when I ran through my portal to…what is this place? One of the rings of hell?" He asked as carefully a small winged imp came up to Stolas "You are in pride dear sir" said the winged imp "Oh so far away, but thank you for telling me little one *gives a small smile as he looked to the creatures who were curious* Oh you sing a song" he said as they were curious and in awe as Stolas started to sing
Stolas: Ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh *The imp parents humming at the note he sang*
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh *Softly and gently as the little imp from before walked up to Stolas as he rubbed his little head cutely*
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh
The little imp tried as well but hit a high note before the last note making the others cringe but Stolas giggled at how cute he tried.
With a smile and a song
Life is just a bright, lovely day
Your fears fade away
And your heart is young
Some of the imps and a few flying pokemon leaned on a hybrid of a imp and sucubus that was fluffy as he got annoyed as the other imps, pokemon and digimon enchanted slowly made there way to Stolas who smiled at there company.
With a smile and a song
All the world seem to waken anew
Rejoicing with us
As the song is sung
With a gentle smile he petted the imps and the pokemon and digimon happily at many of them as he smiled feeling safe and at peace with what the goitias call a lower class, he calls a family due to being practically raised by them.
There's no use in grumbling
When raindrops come tumbling
Remember you're the one
Who can fill the world with sunshine
When you smile and you sing
Everything is in tune and it's good
And life flows along
With a smile and a song
The imps and mons all cheered and applauded as Stolas smiled at them all "Aww thank you all I feel happy now I hope we can all get along somehow, but I need a place for the night, but do you know of a good place to stay? *Looks around* I never seen such a place and I dont know where to stay, can you all help me on that?" He asked as the imps and the Mon's all nodded eagerly and grinned bright and happy to help the owl "Oh you all know of a place to stay?" He asked as the imps nodded as they all started to lead the owl away to a place that will keep him safe and sound.
Authors note: from something scary can be a way to find those who will be there to help you out as shown with Stolas as the imps of pride help the little owl.
Next chapter the imps and Mon's take Stolas to a apartment building that was the home of 7 implings oddly named after the 7 sins though Stolas takes charge to care for them as the little implings come from a work at the factory
