“M’lady…she is an angel and he is a demon. Practically demi-gods. Who knows how long the gestation period will even last. It is quite apparent that she is caring a hellspawn.”
Nodding, Imogene sent the servant off and looked up again. She could not let Selene die. Selene was her pawn to keeping Joffrey in line when she became queen. Dipping into a bow, she paid her farewells to the king and queen and disappeared out the throne room and castle doors to head into the village.
Thread Change to Harroway Village
Up high on the mountain, Joffrey had been pacing back and forth, in his full demon appearance, a ball of fire that bounced in his hand, still in rage at himself, and that of Selene. “She….used me. No…yes…she did. She….USED ME!” He hurled a fire ball at a passing vulture, and the ball of flame practically cooked the bird while it was in the sky, causing the charcoal mess to spiral to the ground. “How did that happen? I did everything right….I did….And she accused me of the lies of the servants. Yes…so I broke some dumb tart’s nose. SHE DESERVED IT!” Another fire ball appeared in his hand, and he was now getting wild eyed, as he hurled it at another wayward vulture. It was true to say that Joffrey was an excellent shot when angry. A second cooked vulture fell from the sky and landed at his feet. Joffrey sat down and tore off a cooked vulture wing and started to eat it, tears welling in his eyes.
“I never knew love could hurt you…” He said sadly, breaking off the vulture’s head and starting to bite into it. Turns out cooked vulture was comfort food for demons.

“Selene was extremely fine when she left the castle this morning. Which meant something happen on those hours, that your grace was busy and didn’t checked on your son one more time, just for make sure everything was going fine.”
Metia said, frowning slightly, as she rose her chin, staring at Rose.
“I just want to find your son, for him to explain me what in hell had happen between him and the princess. No harm needs to be done, I doubt our kingdoms will want some war, right?”
While saying this words, Metia noticed some servant getting closer to the woman that was besides the King, maybe she was some Lady due the respect the servant held towards her. But that wasn’t the important part, Metia heard what they was talking about. A demon getting her pure daughter pregnant? She wanted Joffrey to marry Selene so Selene would start to change, but she never wanted this prince to get her daughter pregnant so soon. They aren’t even married! As she heard the words, she clenched her fists, trying to keep the anger inside her, due having long nails, she only harmed herself, by digging her nails into her own skin, but only on her left hand, since her right hand had a bandage wrapped around it, due the mess she did back in her castle with the glass of wine.
She watched the woman leaving, and her eyes went back to Rose.
“How dare your son to do something like that? Where is he?!”
Metia was losing her temper, and if she keep in here taking things slow and calm, her daughter life would end soon. The moment she asked, her eyes scanned around, seeing through the huge windows that was in the throne room, she could see flames coming from a mountain wondering what in hell was that, but then she began to feel the evil forces that was being sent from there, that could only be Joffrey’s demon. Metia didn’t wasted more words with the Queen Rose, she just shifted back into dozen of dark crows, and broke the windows from the Throne Room, flying at high speed towards the mountains.Mountain top near Night Lands CastleJoffrey was basically in his demon form, and he was attacking birds around, the two animals that he hurt, was basically one of the crows that Metia shifted into, luckily for her, that only left a small scratch upon her cheek, and ripped abit of the sleeve from her dress.
The crows could finally land safely behind Joffrey, and they was getting themselves together into a female figure, which was Metia. She looked at Joffrey eating like an animal, this prince would pay if he won’t go see her daughter right now, its because of him that she’s dying. She will need his support, even if he likes it or not. Metia will force him to go.
“What did you do to my daughter?! She’s dying and its your fault!”
Metia shouted, but staying steps away from Joffrey, staring at him, if he pulled out any dare move, she would do the same. She was keeping anger inside her, if you think she’s mad right now, you’ve never seen her mad before. But since she was trying to not show too much evilness, the anger was locked inside her, and against her will, flames started to appear around her body, not burning her skin, because that’s her magic, protecting her, and ready to attack.
The demon prince, who was in all his majestic flaming red glory, flapped his wings, and then snarled, as he spat out the bird’s eyeball,and rose to standing. Turning around, the hulking demon looked down on the angry Queen of the Casterlys. the right side of his mouth twitched, showing off blooded canines and the odd black feather.
“I told her…to go back to her Kingdom. You must be the Mother everyone has spoken about. I can see where the Princess gets her looks from.” He was still very angry, so for him to say this, was a tad unusual, but of course, he wasn’t finished.
“She..was perfectly fine when I left her. Naked…but fine. Satisfied sexually…but fine. I think your lying. She can’t be dying….and it sure as hell isn’t MY FAULT!”
But the Queen kept her distance, and then…something bizarre happened. She seemed to be able to control the very flames of anger….and this had him wonder for a moment. What kind of angel, bursts into flame? Joffrey’s chest rose and fell sharply, as he clenched his fists and they erupted in flames, that raced up his arms. The fury inside of him was building…the intensity of the flames was reaching dangerous levels to be around.
“I…don’t think you are quite the Angelic Queen you seem to be. How can something pure like Selene, come from one that .catches fire like that?” He got the point she was mad, very mad, but so was he. “You arranged this union….you knew I was demon…why send an angel to wed, when you KNEW that she would lay with me?” The jigsaw pieces all started to fall into place, and he was about to take a swing at her, when he said:
“I LOVE YOUR DAUGHTER…DON’T YOU DARE THINK I WOULD EVER WANT TO HARM HER. BUT I WON’T BE TOLD ITS MY FAULT SHE IS DYING…WHEN YOU SENT HER TO WED ME!”
<3>
When Metia thought this was actually going to be some serious and dangerous meeting, Joffrey began to talk about Metia’s looks, oh god seriously? She wasn’t here for talk about that? But like she says, her beauty is her power, and its something that she shall never lose. Once Joffrey began to talk about the way he left her daughter, that only made her anger grow higher, and so would the flames around her body, that now was slowly starting to burn her skin, this wouldn’t be a problem, since later she could use a spell on herself to heal the all burning marks and leave no scar. It was also getting extremely hot around here, due her flames and Joffrey’s as well. This was basically two demons facing against each other.
“My daughter born with my husband’s race, an Angel. I’m a witch.”
She told him just for clear things here, she didn’t wanted people to mistake her as an angel, because that’s something she’s far from. She just plays being the good witch, and never use her magic around, only when its needed, and of course, her dark magic is something she never showed to anybody, that would just bring her thousand of problems. She allowed the demon to rage, but she noticed how dangerously closer he was getting and that in a matter of seconds he was about to take a swing at her, so that made her protect herself, by make some kind of flame wall appear in front of her, just for give her enough time, to take another few steps away from Joffrey. She wanted to hurt this prince, badly, have his blood on her hands, but if she done such thing, it will bring problems to her kingdom, let’s see how long she will care about her kingdom.
“You harmed her in some kind of way!I just found out that you left her pregnant!! Her body is rejecting the demon seed in her, because you aren’t there for her! You rejected her in some kind of way. You’re already grown up enough to know what its right and wrong. You two aren’t even married!!”
Metia shouted. She wouldn’t make herself think it was her fault that her daughter was dying, she couldn’t allow herself getting sentimental, it was Joffrey’s fault, and her daughter’s fault as well, Metia warned her about never trust a man so easily, they aren’t creatures we shall trust, wise women know that. But then it was also Metia’s fault for allow this marriage to happen, she just didn’t wanted her daughter to be like her father, all pure, she wanted to turn her more evil, and her son too. Ugh, raising children was troublesome, she could have always kill her children while they was in her womb, but she had to keep up with her acting and please the King Henry.
“Like it or not, she needs you, and you will go there to be with her!”
Metia was losing her patient, and since her evil side was taking more over her, she was having that short-temper of hers. In a matter of seconds, she placed her hands in front of her, facing at each other, as a ball of dark color was forming, it looked like black flames, and she would throw it at Joffrey if he dared to come closer, or if he didn’t collaborate.
Things were getting really hot on that mountain top. Joffrey’s rage was not abating, and the Queen, well she certainly didn’t like being told that this was partly her fault. Joffrey had clued in that there was no way she could be some goody two shoes angel, and in fact now her skin was on fire, it was a dead set certainty. In an effort to get him to stay back, she threw up a wall of fire, which, he could just walk through, if he wanted, as it was his element after all. But the Queen’s words, were starting to make strikes against him, even if he could argue some of what she was saying.
“You harmed her in some kind of way!I just found out that you left her pregnant!! Her body is rejecting the demon seed in her, because you aren’t there for her! You rejected her in some kind of way. You’re already grown up enough to know what its right and wrong. You two aren’t even married!!”
His jaw nearly hit the floor, when she said that he got her pregnant. Truth was he didn’t even ejaculate inside of her (which he was disappointed about). Now, the Queen is shouting that she got pregnant. Joffrey shook his head, finding this all a bit much to swallow. He started to lower his fists, when the Queen mentioned that she had a demon spawn inside of her, and she was dying cause he wasn’t there.
“Being married or not, had nothing to do with having sex. And not only that…SHE BEGGED ME TO MAKE LOVE TO HER.”
This was true, but if the Queen believed it or not was another thing. Joffrey hadn’t intended to hurt her, in fact it was quite the opposite. All this yelling and fire, and the thoughts of Selene dying, started to take its toll on the young demon. He couldn’t dare let the Queen see this side of him, and he turned away from her, even though she had the flaming black ball.
“Like it or not, she needs you, and you will go there to be with her!”
The final sentence, and something inside of Joffrey, started to beat. Perhaps it was his heart. He opened his wings majestically, and then took off from the side of the mountain, heading down to the small village at the foot of the castle to find Selene. Not because the Queen threatened him, but he realized the truth. Selene needed him.
