At somewhere in California, Octavia went through the portal to look for Felicia since the hellhound left Hell and became a fashion designer in order to find Antauri while keeping herself busy sketching for the design, buying fabrics for fashions, and show the customers for the right price. Of course, she because upset for the white hellhound leaving Hell after the trial that causes Stolas to lose his powers, his home, and his royal status. Felicia left Hell to live in California, working as a fashion designer because of her talents for making fashions for something that can fit and making customers satisfied, and to look for Antauri since she had a first crush when they were kids.

Octavia notices there were human walking around the streets and not noticing her in the alley. She took a chance as she uses her magic to turn herself into a human.

Her human disguise is similar to her avian demon form, but she takes an appearance of a goth teenager. Her eyes are inverted with white sclera and pink irises, her slate-gray feathers are now gray unkept hair. She retains the same outfit before, but with addition of black high socks, black lipstick, and knee-high black boots.

She walks out of the alley, looking for Felicia while walking past the people. But little did she know, Felicia Foxhound noticed a certain owl demon walking around the streets as she follows her.

Felicia Foxhound is in a human form with an attractive and curvaceous body, and a perky heart-shaped ass with white sclera and hot pink irises and brown hair. She wears a glasses with black rectangular frame, black business suit that exposes her cleavage, black business skirt, black stockings, black stilettos, a gold watch, and a pendant around her neck.

"Are you looking for someone, Via?" Felicia asks which made Octavia yelps and quick turns to her, but it got her widen her eyes.

"Felicia?" Octavia said.

"Yep, who else would I be?" Felicia counters with a chuckle as Octavia hugs her, leaving her surprised and it got her hugging her in return.

"I'm sorry...It's just that...I missed you ever since you and Antauri left..." Octavia told her tearfully. "Things weren't the same in Hell."

Felicia can only smile, understands what she means which of course, she too missed Octavia along with Antauri and the others ever since she left Hell to live in the human world to become a fashion designer in California.

"Also, we were able to find Antauri." Octavia said, breaks the hug.

"What? You found him?" Felicia asks, earned a nod from her. "Where is he?"

"If you have a place you're staying, I'll explain everything." Octavia said with a suggestion when Felicia took the phone and got the message that she's off for a few days.

"Well, I'm not busy and got some time off anyway. I'll take you to my place and you can tell me where he is." Felicia said.

Octavia nods as she and Felicia heads over to her place, but they're heading over to the store to get something she need for the food and for her to wash clothes. Octavia helps her out, much to the hellhound's appreciation. After a few minutes of shopping, Felicia and Octavia places them in her home which she was luckily that the hellhound didn't live far, otherwise, she'll be having a hard time carrying the heavy bags to somewhere that's far. They then put the food in between the fridge and a deep freeze, the canned food in the cabinet, and the laundry detergent to the closet in case Felicia needs to do the laundry.

"Geez, how much money did you just made since you're working? And how much bags of food do you need?" Octavia asks with a groan in her avian demon form, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"Enough to make a living and in case I need it whenever I'm running out." Felicia told her after taking her clothes off to get change, turning into her hellhound form. "Those humans were nice enough to take me in since I left, and I've been helping them out and take the job after high school. Been doing it ever since."

Felicia Foxhound's true appearance is a foxhound. She has brown short floppy ears with a pointed dog-like muzzle and dark nose. She has white fur with brown encircling her face, dark brown patches around her shoulders and around her eyes, short brown bob styled hair, a brown tail with white tip. She wears a pink tank top that exposes her belly and her cleavage, bracelet around her right wrist, and blue baggy jeans.

"So, can you tell me where Antauri is?" Felicia said as she sat on a couch next to Octavia.

Octavia nods, decided to give her an explanation while Felicia listens.

She then begins explaining about Antauri's life in the human world. Telling her he was raised by the Croft Family in London, England which apparently his adopted father, Richard Croft is an archeologist born with the wealthy family, had a PhD to travel around to extend his research and publish several book, his adopted mother, Amelia Croft is an artist, and his adopted sister, Lara Croft is following her father's footsteps as an archeologist. However, his life was turned upside down when Amelia died from a plane crash in Tibet and Richard died in suicide, leaving Conrad Roth his only legal guardian to take care of Antauri and Lara, training them for rock climbing, navigation, and other survival skills, but the white hellhound learned variety of martial arts while helping her train in combat and some morning workout.

After a long hour of explanation, Felicia widens her eyes in shocked, stunned that Antauri is held up in London.

"I see, it's no wonder he's far away." Felicia muttered with a frown, sighs as she crosses her arms when Octavia got a message.

"Hold on, something's on my phone." Octavia said as she opens the message which revealed to be the image of Antauri in his hellhound form and naked in the falls, causing her to blush like crazy and her feathers fluffed up a little to see a white hellhound naked, then she drools a bit.

"Via? You okay?" Felicia asks, confused when she notices the blush from Octavia. "Octavia...Octavia...OCTAVIA!"

"Wha-huh?!" Octavia said, snapped out of her stupor.

"Are you okay? You're acting like you've seen someone you like and went gaga." Felicia told her, raising her eyebrow.

"Uh...I'm fine." Octavia answered with an embarrassed look, but Felicia isn't buying it as she takes the phone.

Felicia looks at Octavia's phone and see what made her blush, which she got her answer when she notices Antauri in his hellhound form and naked as she blushed with her eyes widen and her tail wagging.

"Bow wow." Felicia said with a slutry smile but realized what she said. "Fuck why did I say that!"

That got Octavia snickered of the hellhound's reaction, much to Felicia's annoyance as she growls at her.

"Sorry, it's just so funny you still have a crush on him ever since he left. And...you still got it now." Octavia said with a laugh, causing Felicia to sigh and smirks.

"Well, I'm not the one who drools over him." Felicia remarked which made Octavia blushed in embarrassment, causing the hellhound to laugh.

"That's not funny, Felicia!" Octavia growls in annoyance, turning to her. "And I'm betting it's either Millie or her limp-dicked boss."

"Probably Blitz, guess nothing's changed with him acting like...well, him." Felicia said, calms down from her laugh. "So, where is Antauri? Besides getting a bath naked in the falls where he's left himself opened to get pounded."

"Felicia?!" Octavia shouts in annoyance, repeated hitting her shoulder with her fists which made Felicia laugh again.

Few minutes of laughing, Octavia sighs and gives her the answer since the hellhound isn't going to like it.

"He's with Lara at Yamatai, which is located near in Japan at the Dragon's Triangle." Octavia explains. "And...the ship crashed from the intense storm and now, he and Lara are trying to look for their crew, if they somehow survived."

"Wait, hold on! Are you telling me he's at Yamatai? And he's left stranded?!" Felicia exclaims in shock. "Why would he go there?"

"It's for Lara's expedition! She wanted her discovery to be first since no one ever gets in there and made history because of the intense storms." Octavia told her, waving her hands in defense. "Also, I believe Antauri and Lara are already in trouble since...adventure found them."

"WHAT?!" Felicia shouts. "Then let's go!"

"Wait, hold on just a minute!" Octavia protests, stopping her. "Look, I know you want to find him, but I.M.P. are working on it and they're helping him look for the rest of the crew on a ship and somehow find a way out of the island."

Felicia didn't like it, but sighs since using the Asmodean Crystal and a grimoire are out of the question because the two items will lead them to Hell. She apparently wants to see Antauri since he's been away from Hell and raised in London, but with him in Yamatai with Lara, she'll have to trust those imps and Loona for getting him out while try to survive.

"All right, but keep me updated if they're alive." Felicia said as Octavia nods while given her a phone number, about to leave. "Via? Aren't you forgetting something?"

"Felicia, I have to get back to let dad know! What more do you want?" Octavia asks in annoyance when the hellhound raises her eyebrow, causing her to sigh which made her realize why. "Don't tell me, you want that photo?"

"Hey, we haven't seen him in a long time, and you're the one who got that photo while I don't. So?" Felicia suggests, making Octavia sigh with reluctance as she sends the photo of Antauri to her.

"Just...try not to get too horny when you're at work." Octavia warns her, then opens a portal back to Hell as she enters through and the portal closes.

Felicia just chuckled in respond, knows that it's easier said than done, considering how attractive Antauri is now. She then looks at the photo of Antauri, starts to blush again and her tail wagging.

'Ooh daddy~, when you made it out alive, I was hoping we can get to know each other and catch up. And when we go on a date, we'll go to a love hotel and you pound me like a dog that I am...I can see it now, me and Antauri, having puppies together...' Felicia mentally thought with a lovestruck look her face, imagining herself and Antauri at the love hotel making love, married at the wedding, and having puppies together at the house.

While at Ozzie's, Asmodeus and Fizzarolli are at the office, having discussions with Queen Bee about the trial which the two knows that something was off about it. Apparently, stealing a grimoire from the Goetia family is illegal which Blitzo didn't even realize the consequences while using it for his killing business, but Andrealphus escalates it and lying to them about the imp assaulting Stolas which it's not entirely true. Also, neither of the demons from the Goetia Clan are going to hear about the testimony from Blitzo and wanted to kill him, but with Stolas intervened while calling himself the mastermind, Satan striped his powers away for only a century. It also causes Antauri to leave Hell and raise somewhere in the human world which it didn't go well for Queen Bee, Asmodeus, or Fizzarolli.

Queen Bee felt heartbroken after Stolas told her about the white hellhound, which she didn't take it well and Vortex tries to comfort her. And not only that, Felicia left Hell to find him so she can be with him and be together with him, but failed to realize that she's in US while Antauri is in UK.

Asmodeus didn't take it well, either, enraged after being informed about Andrealphus planning to kill the white hellhound. However, he was relieved that Antauri is in the human realm and remained hidden. Though, he and Fizzarolli could see the look of Andrealphus' face, betting that he's really pissed.

Soon as the portal opens, Stella passes through and enter inside of the office while the portal closes behind her.

"Stella? What are you doing here?" Asmodeus asks surprisingly. "We were having a meeting."

"I know, and I'm sorry for interrupting. But there's a reason why I'm here, it's about Antauri." Stella informing them. "And it'll be better if I explain this to you about where he is for the past 15 human years."

Queen Bee, Asmodeus, and Fizzarolli glances at each other for a few seconds, decided to hear her out as Stella gives them an explanation while they listened carefully.

After an hour of explanation, Queen Bee, Asmodeus, and Fizzarolli were astonished. They were glad Antauri found a family to live which happens to be the Croft but sadden for the loss of Amelia and Richard while relieve that Roth was able to take care of them and trained them. But with Roth focusing on his work, Antauri is the only one taking care of Lara while growing up together in London, graduated in the University.

Stella got a message from her phone, but noticed a photo of an adult Antauri, naked at the falls from Yamatai. It got her widen her eyes in shock, but very annoyed that she knows it was Blitzo who took it. Both Asmodeus and Fizzarolli looks at the photo, which made them surprised that it's the same white hellhound who use to work with I.M.P. and turned into an adult.

"He's definitely had the spitting image of his mom and an attractive look like his dad. It's good to see he had a good life." Asmodeus said with a smile.

"But seriously, hadn't Blitz ever heard of boundaries or personal space?" Fizzarolli asks in annoyance. "Honestly, he's such a hopeless idiot sometimes."

"I'll admit, he's quite the looker. I bet those ladies would be hounding on him right about now if the photo is shown." Queen Bee said with a chuckle, looking at the photo of Antauri. "But where's he at now?"

"He's at Yamatai that's near Japan and at the heart of Dragon's Triangle." Stella answered seriously, leaving them shocked.

"Dragon's Triangle?! Do you have any idea how dangerous it is to get there?!" Queen Bee shouts. "This'll make a Bermuda's Triangle look like a picnic if he ever gets to Yamatai!"

"I'm aware, but he didn't and it's already too late for them to turn back since neither of them ever realize that, yet." Stella points out. "For now, all we can do now is let Antauri and Lara put their skills to the test, see if they can survive while try to find some answers about the island, and find a way to get out."

Queen Bee, Asmodeus, and Fizzarolli aren't convinced, mainly because they were worried about Antauri's well-being while try to survive through Yamatai that's filled with danger. They conceded with reluctance, let Antauri help Lara find what she can discover about Yamatai, hope to find the answers they're looking for, look for those who survived, and find a way to get out.

"Well, let's hope they can get out of there, because Yamatai has the name 'trouble' written all over it." Fizzarolli said, worried.

"Oh, he will, he used to work with I.M.P., remember? He can take care of himself, and with additional of Roth's training, he'll be able to pull it off." Asmodeus assures him. "And if he can do it, so can Lara."

Queen Bee and Stella nods in agreement, knowing that Antauri can handle anything despite being older and extended his prowess. They're hoping that the white hellhound got the others out of Yamatai.

At the museum, an avian demon known as Alundra is a princess of the Goetia Clan from Hell, and a curator of the British Museum. Her parents have been on good terms with Stolas and Octavia because of the way they treat commonfolk, but not Stella or Andrealphus. However, after being informed by Stolas and Stella reconcile to one another and given Octavia the love and support they need, they're able to make amends with Stella. Alundra left Hell to study cultures and history since she had a thing for it, living in London to get a job in order to earn some money while not using her royal status as an excuse. But during her time in college, she met Antauri and Lara, which it got her noticed that he's a hellhound. She and Antauri grew close as friends, but the avian demon is starting to have a crush on him when she first met him. They've also done their travels together, even went to Chile for the expedition and some trips with Sam.

But after the graduation, Alundra worked as a curator for the museum while Lara chose to follow her father's footsteps as an archeologist and Antauri chose his job as a bouncer and a bounty hunter to keep tabs about the criminals with bounties on their heads, track them down, and take them to the police. He even gives her an explanation of why he left Hell and lives with the Croft Family, which of course, Alundra is pissed about the trial, and she hated Andrealphus even more now. It got her worried about Stolas after learning about his royal status and his powers removed by Satan thanks to her uncle making false claims about Blitzo sexually assaulting him. She was hoping she could hire Stolas for astronomy since he has the knowledge of stars and constellations.

It also got Alundra worried about Antauri since he's leaving with Lara for the expedition to Yamatai, which she's aware of the dangers of the Dragon's Triangle and the dark history about the kingdom and the Sun Queen, Himiko.

The portal is soon opened in her office when Octavia enters through and the portal closes behind her, making Alundra sigh as she turns to her.

"Alundra." Octavia said, turning into a human.

"Via, you know I'm busy when it comes to paperwork, given those humans' presentation to the artifacts...and dealing with those fools who dragged Dr. Croft's name through the mud." Alundra told her, turning herself into an avian demon.

Alundra is a slender, spix's macaw-like avian demon with a black beak, and golden-yellow eyes with white pupils and sapphire blue feather-like hair that reaches down to her waist, tied into a ponytail. Her feathers appear to be sapphire blue with sky blue tips. She also sports a long tail feathers colored in gradient of sapphire blue-to-sky blue with no outlines. She also wears a business suit with a white-dress shirt and a black-tie underneath, a black pencil skirt, long black socks, and high-heel shoes.

"I know, but I'm here to tell you about Antauri." Octavia said to her cousin.

"If it's about him going with Lara to Yamatai, I know. But I don't they're aware of dangers there." Alundra said. "I just hope they're alive so I can go call for help."

"Oh, they're alive...but they are stranded on the island. And if I know him, he'll find the survivors and try to find a way out." Octavia told her with a ponder. "That is, if they can find the answers."

"Maybe, but no one says that going on the expedition is easy." Alundra points out. "Also, Via, I would ask about Uncle Stolas, but I don't think it's a good time for it."

"I know, and I understand, but I'm letting you go he's alive with Lara, and those imps are helping him." Octavia informed her. "But...that's not the only thing I've got."

Alundra raises her eyebrow, wants to confirm when Octavia shows her the photo of Antauri. It made Alundra widen her eyes with her feathers fluffed up a little and blushed like crazy to see the hellhound in his nude form, then drools a bit. Octavia then snaps her fingers, making Alundra snaps into a reality.

"Wha?! Huh?!" Alundra said.

"Yeah, I had the same reaction when I saw that." Octavia said with a smirk. "Same with Felicia."

"Wait, Felicia?" Alundra asks.

"She's a hellhound, like Loona and Antauri." Octavia answered.

Alundra then remembered about him telling her about Felicia, but didn't think she has a crush on him when they first met at Gluttony Ring which went off to a bad start. Though, they made amends and became friends, but not without Felicia kissed him on the lips. It made the avian demon jealous that Felicia stole his first kiss, but she knows him longer than the hellhound.

"Anyway, Felicia is probably starting to get horny whenever she sees him in a photo." Octavia said which made Alundra's face red and steam coming out.

'What did she just say?! Felicia is thinking about Antauri! I know him more than that shameless bitch! Ooh, I'll show her! I'll show her!' Alundra mentally shouts angrily, getting even more jealous with her feathers getting bristled.

"Um, you okay?" Octavia asks, slightly concern about her cousin.

"I'm fine, Via...I'm fine..." Alundra growls, but mutters quietly. "Just never get my first kiss with Antauri...because he's mine!"

It got Octavia confused, but had feeling it's something isn't nice and can tell that her cousin is jealous over Felicia stole his kiss.

"Well, I know it's not my business, but don't you think Antauri can make his own choice? Even though, he can consider having a relationship with you or her...or probably both." Octavia told her.

"What?! Me! Sharing with that hussy?! No, I'm only having him as my boyfriend...if I ever get a chance to ask him." Alundra shouts, though quietly in her last sentence. "What makes you think I'm sharing with her?"

"Well, in Hell, he can have multiple wives and I'm already aware Felicia had a future with Antauri. Even though, I don't want to know what it is, and I don't care. Look, point is, you can ask him and he can have two girlfriends, or in Hell's case, two wives, and you two can be happy and have a family." Octavia explains.

Alundra didn't like the idea of sharing Antauri with Felicia since the hellhound not only stole the kiss, but she has plans for the future. Though, the avian demon too has a future of her own by dating the hellhound in order to get to know him better, marrying him, having passionate fornication, and settled down to have kids of her own while inherited the title as the new royals. She sighs, turned to her cousin.

"Fine, but if that bitch ever tries again with him, the bets are off." Alundra warns her with a scowl.

Octavia can only nod in respond, felt like her cousin isn't liking about sharing with Felicia. She then decided to open the portal and about to leave.

"Octavia!" Alundra called as she turns into a human, earned her attention. "The photo if you please."

Octavia rolls her eyes in annoyance, using her phone to send a photo to Alundra.

"Happy?" Octavia asks.

"Very. Thank you, and tell Uncle Stolas I said 'hi'." Alundra said with satisfaction.

Octavia groans, annoyed as she enters through the portal that leads her to Hell as the portal closes behind her. Alundra then looks at the photo of Antauri on her phone, then blushes.

'Antauri, once you get out alive, I will tell my parents about you and hoping we get their blessings. And when they accept, we will be married and have kids...and raise them as our own. And we'll be become new royals for my family.' Alundra mentally thought with hearts floating around her, imagining herself and Antauri as new royal members with kids in Hell.

That's it for the 3rd chapter.

It may not have anything to do with adventuring, but thought it'll be something to see Felicia looks like as an adult and her true form as a hellhound. The reason why is because she wants to blend in as similar to Queen Bee so she can keep her out of trouble back in Gluttony Ring. Also, thought I'd add another character who happens to be part of the royal, but had a thing for history. And yep, it'll be a catfight in the future chapters.

Anyway, wish everyone of you a Happy New Year!
