An 11-year-old Stolas was asleep in his bed, surrounded by stuffed animals. He wakes up, yawning and smacking his lips before his eyes shoot open in realization. He sits up in excitement, "My birthday, my birthday! It's my birthday!" he leaps out of his sheets and lands on the floor on all fours. He runs off to his dressing room, his arms raised in excitement as an imp butler walks in after him. Stolas gets up to his vanity, "Yaaaay! Birthday, birthday! WOOHOO! Birthday tiiiiime!"
Mister Butler opens a tin of hair gel and begins applying it to Stolas, "Calm yourself, young prince. You know excitement is unbecoming of a Goetia."
"Oh! Right." Stolas takes a deep breath to calm himself. As Mister Butler walks off to retrieve Stolas' vest and cape, returning to put them on him.
"But, Father told me, today is the day, I am old enough to know my purpose and responsibility!" Young Stolas said as his eyes sparkle with glee
"Of course." Mr Butler places a crown on Stolas' head, "I'm sure it will be wonderful."
Stolas follows the butler down a large hallway, the wall lined with four giant pictures of Stolas at different ages, one as an egg, one when he was a baby, one as toddler, and one as the age he is currently at. The doors open in front of them to reveal the throne room. Paimon, Stolas' father, stands up from his throne in a monstrous black demon form. He shifts to display various demonic creatures before transforms into his normal, bird-like self. The butler walks over to Paimon and stands next to him as Stolas approaches his father.
"Ahhhh! There is my little, uh..." Paimon trails off as his son smiles gleefully up at him. He turns and whispers to the butler while pointing at Stolas, "Which son is this one? There's so fucking many."
"Stolas, your highness." Mr Butler said
"Stolas! Yes! Ha! Right, right!" Paimon chuckles, "That's the one! The owl boy." He walks toward his son, leaning toward him and surprising him, "Well, my little one," He stands up and walks around him, "it is finally your day of becoming a true part of the Goetia family. How good for you. Are you ready to know what you'll be meant to do to serve Hell?"
"Yes, father." Young Stolas said
Paimon opens a portal to the cosmos to show the stars along with two comets, "You will be entrusted with the study of the Earth's skies, the stars, the prophecies they hold, all that stuff." he closes the portal and summons a Grimoire, "Isn't that fun? You will begin the studies of your Grimoire, which will grant you access to the mortal realm to study and observe," he levitates the book to Stolas, "and you will grow to be a mighty Prince of Hell, with your own legions to lead and pass on your knowledge to!"
"I will do my best, Father!" Young Stolas said
Paimon leans toward Stolas, "Wonderful! Also, son, you are destined to sire a precautionary addition to the Goetia family, so you are now engaged." he pulls out a picture from his cloak and shows it to Stolas, "Congratulations. Isn't she charming?"
The picture shows a young Stella angrily strangling a dog-like creature with tears falling from its eyes. A second creature has tears flowing as Stella has a foot planted on its head.
Stolas begins crying and turns away from the picture in fear.
"Ohhh! That's an ugly noise, son. Here," Paimon pats his son's head, "how about you cease this bitch crying?"
Stolas starts crying harder.
"Hm, that usually works. Oh, would you like it if I took you to the circus in town? Children enjoy the circus, right?" Paimon pats Stolas' head again, "Would that distract you enough from your non-negotiable future marriage?"
Stolas does not respond. A tear rolls down his cheek and drips off.
"Can Violet come?" Young Stolas asked
"Who's Violet?" Paimon whispered to the butler
"She's Lucifer's daughter, sir." Mr Butler said
"Oh." Paimon said, "Yeah she can come."
Violet is sitting next to him along with the butler standing at the top of the stairs into a circus tent as the latter, held up a mirror with Paimon shown on the glass. Various Imps fill the bleachers as circus music plays in the background.
Paimon looks around a few times before whispering to the butler, "Is there a spot that's close to the front, but also far enough that I don't have to-" he sniffs and gags, "ugh-smell the poor?"
Violet rolls her eyes at Paimon.
The four are seated in an empty bleacher labeled with a cloth sign reading "GOETIA" in black paint.
Spotlights light up the dark arena as the show begins. Five imps come out first, two juggling, two performing spinning front flips, and one doing a handstand on a demonic horse as it galloped by the Goetia section.
Paimon chuckles and claps from within the mirror as Stolas looks away with a sad look.
Two more imps juggle while on stilts while an imp walks and twirls on a tightrope while holding a yellow umbrella. An imp breathing fire was on top of an inverted imp pyramid as two imps leap through hoops, landing on their hands and then jumping to their feet as the crowd cheered.
A knife throwing imp throws knives near another imp that was tied to a board as the crowd cheered again.
"Now, everyone's favorite thing about circus shit: the motherfuckin' clowns!" Buckzo said
A multitude of frightening imp clowns with glowing eyes leap out at the audience from behind curtains as Cash Buckzo laughs. The imps in the audience scream, pulling away in terror.
A small foot steps on a pedestal board with the sound of a bell jingling, "You ready, Blitzo?"
Blitzo gives a rope he was holding a quick tug, "Born ready!" Fizzarolli and Blitzo leap off of their boards and begin a flying trapeze act. They pass by the Goetia section of the bleachers, and time appears to slow down as Stolas looks up in awe and then blushes.
Blitzo lands on a ball as Fizzarolli swings away, "Haaaaa! Tada~!" he laughs, "Heya, folks! Wanna see me make a horse?" he takes out a green balloon, blows it up, and attempts to tie it into a horse shape, but the shape becomes a knot that immediately pops. His eyes widen, "Crap.'' He continues pulling out balloons to make a horse, but fails every time as his expression grows more worried. The audience watches in dead silence and unimpressed looks as he kept trying, "De-de-de-de-do-do-do-do- Ah, he he, horns!" he finally makes one, but with no legs, "Well, heh, it was a horse but then it ate too much sugar and it's legs stopped working so they had to amputate, now it's a gross worm horse."
Stolas begins to laugh softly, clearly charmed?
"See? He gets it. Because, horses - they make no sense." Blitzo said pointing at Stolas
"It wasn't really that funny." Violet said
Fizzarolli joins in with a red balloon in his hand, "Okay, Blitzo, that's enough "horsing" around!" he makes a balloon horse perfectly on his first try, presenting it, "Hey, everybody! Look at this! It's Banana Pudding the clown horsey!" he neighs and grins as the crowd laughs, Blitzo looking down sadly.
Paimon claps.
"I liked his broken horse joke, it was funny. Their legs do stop working when they eat too much sugar, it's called Laminitis." Stolas explains.
Paimon looks down at Stolas curiously as the little owl demon makes a hooting laugh.
Cash was drinking backstage as the butler walked in, holding the mirror with Paimon in it, "What a show! That was real great. So, ahem that little clown you have my son really enjoyed that one, I was wondering if I could buy him."
"Buy him?" Buckzo asked
"Purchase him, yes. Accurate." Paimon said, he claps his hands and the servant pushes a button on the mirror. The mirror extends out creating the effect like he's leaning over Cash.
"My son only has one friend, you see, and he liked the little clown boy. It's his birthday, he's so sad and I don't want to deal with him. Can I write a check?" Paimon asked
"Well," Buckzo rubs his chin, smirking. "Fizzarolli is a big draw. He has a few more shows to be in today, so it would be pretty expensive." He rubs his thumb and finger together in a gesture.
"No, no. The other one." Paimon said
"Blitzo?" Buckzo said, surprised
"Correct. How much?" Paimon asked
"Wha- Well, he's my son. So... uh. Hm... ah, how much ya got in your pocket?" Buckzo asked
The butler digs around in his pocket and produces a crumpled-up $5 bill and an unopened condom, "A wadded-up five and a slim-fit condom." Paimon said
"Ah, that's plenty. Done." Cash said
"Splendid! Fetch him for me and we will be on our way." Paimon said, he claps his hands and portals out destroying half the tent in the process.
Fizzarolli and Blitzo playing with their balloon horses together, "I'm Banana Pudding, and I like to dance!" Young Fizzarolli said
"I am Worm Horse. And I...I am sad!" Young Blitzo said
"Why are you sad, Worm Horse?" Young Fizzarolli said
"Because! I have no legs!" Young Blitzo said
"Oh, well that's okay!" Young Fizzarolli said
"I lost all my legs in the war." Young Blitzo said
"The war?!" Young Fizzarolli gasped
"Yes! The great pirate war!" Young Blitzo said
"No, no pirates." Young Fizzarolli deadpanned
"It's a great pirate warrr!" Young Blitzo said
"If you keep talking about pirates, I will punch you." Fizzarolli exasperated
"I fought bravely, but I could not run fast enough they took my legs, there was blood everywhere!" Young Blitzo said
"Oh, no! Eww, no blood! Blood is disgusting." Young Fizzarolli laughed
"No, it's cool!" Young Blitzo chuckled
"Well, Banana Pudding is here to save the day with his magical feet he dances around with. He will dance all over worm horse and make him feel better," Young Fizzarolli said
"and theeen'' Blitzo takes a dramatic pause, "there'll be more bloood!" He squirts ketchup on his balloon horse
"Blitzo! that's so gross! Stop." Young Fizzarolli laughed
"Neverrr!" Young Blitzo yelled
Cash appears behind them, grabs Blitzo by the arm and pulls him up, "Boy, I've got a job for you! You are gonna spend the day with one of the Goetia princes."
"Ew. Why?" Young Blitzo asked
"Because money! Now, listen carefully. You are being bought out to be his playmate, but I want you to steal as much from those rich fuckers as you possibly can." Buckzo said
"Steal? But, what if I get caught?" Young Blitzo said, scared
"Don't you want your family to be able to buy a bigger tent? better food? don't you want to be able to help me and your mama out?" Buckzo asked
"Of course I wanna help mama!" Blitzo said
"Then, you gotta do this. Everything those rich fucks have will be worth a fortune." Buckzo said
"But, if I'm caught - I'm scared, dad." Young Blitzo said
"There are scarier things, aren't there, son?
"But -"
Cash makes sad eyes at Young Blitzo.
"Yes, papa." Young Blitzo said, defeated
Cash leads Blitzo over to Paimon, his butler, Violet, and Stolas, "Here is your new friend my son, happy birthday." Paimon said
"Another friend?" Stolas asked, excitedly
"I guess? Hi, uh, I'm Blitzo." Blitzo said
"I'm Stolas." He goes to take a bow, "It's nice to–" He gets smacked in the back of the head by his father, "Ouch!"
Violet glares at Paimon for hitting Stolas.
"Don't bow to that one! He bows to us. Idiot." Paimon said
"Jackass." Violet muttered
"Oh, right. Sorry, father." Stolas said
"I'm so good at daddy-ing!" Paimon said to himself
Young Blitzo, Violet, and Stolas are inside a library sitting on the floor surrounded by books. Blitzo and Violet are bored while Stolas is excitedly info-dumping about the books in question.
Blitzo groaned.
"This is my book on the difference between frogs and toads, there's a lot of differences! And this is my book on plants and herbs! Did you know plants can hear you?" Stolas starts
"Plants are boring! This is all boring stuff!" Blitzo said
"Oh, I'm sorry." Stolas said defeatedly, "Violet's mainly the only friend I'd share my books with."
"You know what would be fun? A game. Let's Play 'Treasure Hunt'." Blitzo said
"What's that?" Violet/Stolas asked
"It's where we pretend we are pirates and we go around the house collecting all the nicest things and then we throw them out the window!" Blitzo explained
"We...throw them out the window?" Stolas asked incredulously
"Yes."
"Since when did pirates throw things out windows?" Violet asked
"Since like, the dawn of time. Come on, pirates are always throwing stuff out windows." Blitzo said
"I don't think they had windows." Stolas said
"What, did a book say that?" Blitzo asked
"Yes, actually!" Stolas said he pulled out two books titled "Pirates" and "The Porthole Myth"
"Several." Violet said
"Well, in this game-" Blitzo grabs the books and chucks them, "We're throwing them out the window. Because, it's fun!"
"Well, that's an odd game." Stolas said and then he gasps, "Is this an Imp game?"
"Suuure. Why not?" Blitzo said
"Well, if it's what you want to play?" Stolas said
"Let's do it!" Blitzo said
The three of them run around the house, Blitzo ahead with Violet catching up as the male imp shoves expensive items into a bag that he's holding.
"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!" Blitzo yelled
Stolas runs behind them panting a little with the exertion. They continue going through different areas taking things and giggling. They stop at a chandelier and look at it in wonder. Blitzo takes a piece of it.
"Yes!"
"Yay!"
"Woohoo!"
The three fall to the floor, laying on their backs and giggling.
The three giggle as they run by a balcony.
A whistling noise was heard, Blitzo running to the edge of the balcony with the bag to see his father popping out of a bush and making a "throw to me" gesture. Blitzo glances back to see Stolas distracted by Violet. The male imp grunts as he throws the bag down to his father, who ducks back into the bush once he catches it.
"Blitzo, come on!" Violet calls him over, the male imp running over to her.
Blitzo runs over to join them. Three of them outside by a tree. Stolas is sitting on the roots and Blitzo is climbing it. Blitzo falls out of the tree hanging by only his tail.
"So, what is that? Your diary?" Blitzo asked
"No, this is my new grimoire! It's a spell book! I have to learn it so I can access the living world!" Stolas said
"The living world? Like the world with humans and stuff? Where the sinners come from?" Blitzo asked
"Mmhmm." Stolas said
"That's cool!" Blitzo said
"Yes! I'm supposed to use it to study the sky!" Stolas said
"Why?" Blitzo said
"My dad says I can find prophecies, but I don't really know. But, I'm supposed to, that's what my job will be when I grow up. To join the rest of the Goetia family." Stolas said
"Well, you know what's I'm gonna do when I grow up?" Blitzo jumps back on the tree, "I'm gonna run my own circus and I'm gonna be the most famous imp ever and I'll be able to do what I want to do, all day! I'm gonna make so much money and buy myself a big building, with a big office!"
"A big office? For a circus?" Violet asked
"Yeah! A big office! Circus business with clowns and horses! and the horses will all have good names like Stapler and Biscuit Queen." Blitzo said
"I'm sure you will. That sounds like a good business." Stolas said
"Yeah! And, if you want to apply, I'll hire you guys. Maybe." Blitzo said
"You'll hire us?" Stolas asked, pointing to him and Violet
"Yeah, if I feel like it." Blitzo said
"Well, I hope I qualify!" Stolas said
"You'd be a good boss, Blitzo." Violet said
"You say that with sarcasm, but I totes would." Blitzo said
"25 YEARS LATER"
Stolas wakes up, looking dejected. He groans and gets dressed in his robe, going to his boudoir and taking some pills from his pill bottle. He walks into his library and skims through his grimoire, magic floating out of it.
Unbeknownst to him, Blitzø was peeking in, trying to pull the window open, but Violet stops him as Stolas yawns and closes the book and puts it away, walking away.
"Yes, together we're-" Stella's voice could be heard, but it was muffled.
Stolas checks in on Octavia, who was sleeping peacefully. He smiles to himself before closing the door and walking away. He wanders into the kitchen for a drink of coffee as Stella was heard loudly having a phone call.
"I know still being married isn't a big enough occasion, but to be fair, it's no picnic being married to a boring stiff like Stolas."
Stolas looks at her and opens his mouth, but she holds up an index finger at him, halting him from talking. He walks to the kitchen table and takes a drink, using his magic to open up the newspaper in front of him. It read "Not Divorced: Anniversary Party! Couples Only".
"Stella, what in Hell is this?"
"Ugh, Stolas, you know I like throwing parties. Plus, it's true, so you can come if you want." Stella flips her hair feathers and walks off.
Stolas grimaces and takes a drink of his morning beverage.
Later, Stolas drinks out of a goblet, now wearing his fancy attire. The guests at the party were talking and dancing.
Stella laughs loudly as she talks with two of her bird friends, "No, Stolas is terrible in bed. I swear to fuck, he just lays there staring at the wall, and I have to do everything. It's embarrassing." she sighs, "I'm glad one egg fell out of me so I could stop pretending to want to fuck his scrawny twig ass." She takes a loud sip of one of her drinks before tossing it behind her, the glass shattering as she laughs even louder, her friends laughing with her.
Stolas stands not too far away, hearing everything being said to his immense displeasure. He stood under a banner that read, "Not Divorced!" as Stella and her friends walked away while laughing.
Stella turns to look directly at Stolas, "What a pathetic fucking man."
Stolas snarls and makes bird noises as he swirls his glass around. He looked down at a waiter who was walking by, "Do you have anything stronger than this?"
"We have absinthe, your highness." The Waitor said
Stolas puts his wine glass on her tray and takes the skewers of mice, "Bring me all of it." He eats all skewers in one bite
"Poor people! Ugh, I'm so glad that they're not allowed into this thing. I don't want them anywhere near me." Stella laughs, "Can you imagine if you didn't have money?" she laughs derogatorily.
A different waiter brings Stolas a tray with a tiny shot glass and a green bottle of absinthe, he pours a shot. Stolas takes the green bottle and begins chugging it.
"Stolas, sir?" Someone said
Stolas gets distracted and chokes on his drink and spits it out, "I'm fine!" He said
Two Hellhounds stood in front of him, the two holding Violet up between them as the female princess struggled to free herself.
"We caught this nasty woman trying to sneak into your chambers, what should we do with him?" Right Hellhound said
"Nasty?" Violet drives her foot in between one of the Hellhounds' legs, making him whimper, "Do you know who I am?!"
"Into my chambers, really? Oh, well, that is, concerning." Stolas clears his throat, "Leave her to me." his eyes go half-lidded as he blushes, "I will handle her accordingly."
The two Hellhounds unceremoniously drop Violet, who glares at them as they leave. She then stares up at Stolas, blushing to herself.
"Follow me." Stolas walks ahead as Violet follows after him, looking at the portraits along the walls. One of them was of him and Stella, the two not looking very happy.
Meanwhile, the next one of him and Octavia when she was younger was much happier.
Violet sighs to herself, "Look, I didn't mean to interrupt your party, your majesty. I was just trying to-"
"Don't bother with excuses. I know why you were here." Stolas stops at a door.
"You do?" Violet cringes to herself as she was led into a dark private room.
Stolas closes the door behind them, "Yes, you were here..." he poses against the door, "to ravish me, weren't you?"
"Uhhhh, huh?" Violet blushes, confused.
"Why else would you be breaking into my room? You could've asked to visit you know, it's been a long time, but I have a very good memory." Stolas said, He claps his hands and the room's candles light up.
"Oh, yeah." Violet said
"Oh, right..." Violet messes with her hair, looking at the ring on her left hand. She shakes her head to herself, "Well, I figured since you're a prince, it might just be easier to scale the walls and slip in."
"Certainly is easier than going through his fucking staff..." Blitzø spies on them from under the bed.
"One would think you might be here for nefarious reasons, if you are sneaking in during the cover of night." Stolas smirks.
Violet smiles nervously, "Well, my son thought it would be hilarious if I crashed the party. And I've learned from my boss that it's always more fun to make an entrance."
"Damn right." Blitzø whispers to himself.
"You mentioned you have a son? Are you married?" Stolas asked
"Not anymore. I left him many years ago before Ezra was born. My son is a teenager now and well...you know how teenagers get." Violet said
"So it's been over two decades since I last saw you, what have you been up to lately?" Stolas said
"You remember Blitzo? Yeah, he's actually my boss! We kill people now!" Violet sits down next to him
"Oh!" Stolas laughs nervously and pulls away a little, "How afraid should I be?"
Blitzø smirks to himself as he makes a gesture for Violet to flirt.
Violet smiles seductively as she interwines her and Stolas' fingers, "How afraid do you want to be?"
Stolas looks at her, flustered, "Oh, well, um, well, I, uh, you know," he leans back, "I was teasing I don't really-"
"Stolas, you seem pretty tense." Violet crawls over to him, "Do you want me to...help you out there?"
Stolas blinks, "Umm..." he quickly moves off the couch, "You know, this is, um, getting a wee bit, is it hot?"
Violet slowly walks towards him, an unsure look on her face, "I think it might be?"
"I'm starting to feel it getting very hot..." Stolas continues.
Blitzø's tail slithers out and trips Violet, making her trip into Stolas, who gets slammed against the bookshelf.
"Oh! What are you doing?"
"Sorry, your majesty! I must have tripped over air! Must be weak ankles!" Violet excused as the grimoire fell off the bookshelf to the floor.
"I barely remember your name." Stolas said
"Oh come on your majesty, you must remember. We dated before you were forced to be married to that bitch, Stella." Violet said
"Violet?" Stolas said
"Yep." Violet said
Stolas goes further up the bed, still flustered, "Violet, are you okay?"
"Yeah, it's just been a while since I've been able to...do things." Violet said
"Things like what?" Stolas starts to look over towards the shelf.
"Things like...this!" Violet leans forward quickly and bites down on Stolas' neck.
Stolas moans, starting to sweat a little, "Oh my fuck! Oh, wow..." he falls backwards into his bed, moaning, "You are so forward, Violet! Oh! What are we doing?"
Blitzø covers his mouth as he quickly grabs the grimoire and hides under the bed even further.
Violet blushes in embarrassment, "I-I'm sorry, Stolas! I-I don't know what came over me! I just haven't had-" she gets cut off when she gets pinned to the bed.
"Oh, so you're a kinky little princess, are you? Do you like it when I talk to you dirty?" Stolas starts to peck at her neck, making her moan in return, "I want to [CENSORED] you and your [CENSORED] body [CENSORED] get it all the way [CENSORED] get it all the way through you, you [CENSORED]!"
Violet blushes even more, flipping them over and covering his mouth, "S-Stop talking like that, please!"
"Yes, if that's what Vi-Vi wants."
Violet smiles sweetly as she starts to gently bite at Stolas' neck again.
"Violet-Darling, oh, my, yes!"
Blitzø covers his ears, biting onto the book to stop himself from shouting at them to stop.
"Oh, I've never had anyone want me this way!"
Violet stops what she's doing, "Really? Not even...your wife?"
"You have no idea how long I've craved this kind of passion, and how much it means that the one who wants me is...my first ever friend!" Stolas cups her face, Violet blushes as she's brought closer for a kiss.
Blitzø sighs, whispering to himself, "Alright, fine. Violet can do this real fast...right?"
THE MORNING AFTER "REAL FAST"
A thud was heard, which startled Stolas awake. He throws on his robe and walks out to his balcony.
"Sorry she fucked your husband." Blitzø pointed at Violet.
"What the fuck, Blitzo?!" Violet yelled
Blitzo and Violet scramble off the table and leave.
Stella looks up at the balcony where Stolas is, and smashes her teacup onto the floor, "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT, STOLAS?!" Stella yelled
"THAT was the sound of a FUCKING DIVORCE!" Stolas tears a celebratory "Not Divorced!" banner to only say "Divorced!" and laughs triumphantly.
NOW
Stolas blinks awake, groaning slightly as he was lying down on his bed. He was still wearing his outfit from Ozzie's, noting that his mascara had been gently wiped away. He goes to his boudoir and takes his happy pills. He goes back to his bed and spots Violet sleeping peacefully on it. He smiles to himself and turns on his phone, snapping a quick picture of her before scrolling through other photos of himself and Violet, the two looking happy together. He then begins to sing.
Stolas:
Owl in a cage
You show your age
Your sweetness has run foul
Without a change you're lost, exhausted
By your time on stage
He swipes his cape, a diamond landing in his hand before he lets it fly into the sky and explode into sparks of stars. Violet slowly wakes up as she hears the sound of Stolas' voice.
Stolas Continued:
Then you walked in my room
And like sparks in the dark
Life was suddenly thrilling and new
What between you and I
Just a comfortable lie
I'm the fool who believes when you look in my eyes
Violet starts singing at this point, making the owl prince look over at her in awe.
Violet:
Prince, all alone, upon your throne
Your power is so frail
You raise your voice
Violet/Stolas:
You have no choice
Inside your gilded jail
The two were about to lean on for a kiss when the sound of footsteps approaching made them look over to see Stella walking over.
"The fuck are you doing?!" Stella asked
"Reflecting." Stolas answers, shielding Violet with his cape.
"Well, stop! It's annoying to hear you screeching your silly woes all the time! And now she's here doing it too?!"
"Why are you still here? You leave with Via on weekends, but then you stay around the house despite everything." Stolas said
Stella smirks as she steps toward him, "I like tormenting you. I want to keep reminding you of what you did."
Violet lets out a growl.
"I know what I did. I would feel bad if I hurt you, but we both know I didn't do that. You and I were arranged for one reason; to birth a precautionary heir to the Goetia family, nothing more. I tried so many years to make it comfortable for us; to have this family, but it was never enough. The only reason I have endured your constant insults and cruelty was for that girl to have a normal life." he glances at Violet and holds her hand, smiling at her before turning to Stella and frowning, "...I cannot do this anymore. I want you out. Now."
"What do you mean, out?" Stella asks.
"I mean out! Out of this palace, out of my life! We are getting The Divorce!" Stolas turns to Violet, smiling as he holds her close, "And Violet and her son will be moving in with me. She and I are dating after all."
"Really?!" Violet asked surprised and touched
"How dare you?!" Stella steps forward as Stolas shrinks backwards, looking slightly frightened, "What do you think the rest of the Goetia family will think? Especially now that you're moving an imp in?!" her hand moves towards him to backhand his face, "Andrealphus-"
Stolas catches her hand, stopping it and cutting her off, "I don't care what your arrogant brother thinks! And the only thing the Goetia family wanted from our marriage is already 17, so it's over! I'm DONE!"
Stella stares intensely, then pulls her hand away, "Fine. I have no desire to stay in the place of a traitorous embarrassment. You have fallen from what little grace you had, and I know you'll pay for it."
"One more thing hon." Violet said and started walking towards Stella, "If you ever come near me or my son I won't hesitate to snap your neck in a heartbeat."
Stella turns towards her in shock, "Excuse me?"
Violet grabs Stella by her collar, "Do we understand each other?" She asked
Stella snarls, making bird noises as she walks away and leaves.
Violet turns to Stolas, "Did you really mean that?"
"I meant every word." Stolas cups her face, "I love you, Violet."
The two share a kiss.
