——————————–

A black gate with tall wooden doors suddenly bursts open in the quick of a frenzy, due to the heavy wind that dangerously seeped in from the outside.

Roshan boldly stepped into the kingdom of Viscarrian, letting his feet touch the mosaic tiled floor and making his way past the entrance hallway that was magnificently lit up by candles, beautifully placed on the rows of stainless candle holder that was attached to the ceiling by its handle.

A maid who was walking by had heard the sound of the main entrance door jolting open with force, and out of curiosity, she hurried to come check what it was, only to be met by the physically attractive being who seemed to be heading towards her direction.

Her emerald green eyes dilated in disbelief at the mere sight of someone she never expected in her whole existence to come back to Viscarrian again, to the point the tray she was currently holding with a glass of red wine on top of it dropped to the ground, spilling and shattering but she remained immobile to the sound, her mind ringing on only one thing.

He's alive!!

.....

"Y_your highness??"

He was dressed in a royal black attire that gracefully exuded the strength and power he had brought along with him, his crimson colored mantle fluttering to the hazardous call of the wind with each dominant step he took towards her.

A sudden unidentified fear gripped her heart and she gulped, unable to take a single step forward or even backward as she remained frozen to her position like a statue.

Roshan eventually halted once he made it to her spot and without having someone to tell her the next course of action to take, she immediately bowed her head.

"Y_your highness!"

"Where's Azazel?" He asked instead, ignoring her greetings as he felt the maiden tremble in fear at his sight.

"He's..... He's in the main hall." She politely responded with an equally trembling voice, causing Roshan's face to turn a bit grim at the news and without uttering anything else, he headed for the main hall.

The maiden slowly rose back properly and watched him exit the entrance hallway, hurriedly heading towards the main hall itself. His ink black hair had grown even longer to what she remembered and despite being frighteningly scared by his unexpected presence, she was taken aback by his alluring charms.

"I even forgot what his highness Roshan actually looked like?!" She exclaimed in shock but her mind was instantly drawn to the glass she had subconsciously shattered on the ground.

Bending to her knees, she hurriedly picks them up so she can quickly inform the rest of the maidens about his highness's return.

Arriving directly at the Grand and majestic main hall, Roshan pushed the vast door open and within its domain was an equally strikingly handsome being who perfectly leaned against the easternmost part of the wall, sipping a glass of red wine with his gaze fixated on the grand windows.

He didn't need to turn back to know who had walked in for only one person was capable of having that amount of deadly aura inside of him.

With a slow smile etching at the corner of his red lips, he turned to look at the glacier who stood in the middle of the room, obviously ignoring his presence and searching for someone else instead.

"Brother finally came back home after so many years and I've turned invisible to his gaze." Levi feigned sadness while giving the left side of his chest a pat, like someone who just had his heart broken into a million pieces by Roshan's complete ignorance of his presence.

But as expected, the iceberg barely showed any sort of remorse and was more concerned about what brought him here.

"Where's Azazel?" Roshan asked regardless, equally ignoring Levi's complaint but the handsome being also gave a reluctant gaze as he shrugged.

"I don't know, find him yourself." He low-key muttered in a very stubborn manner and despite it being a long time he was far away from home, Roshan still knew Levi's annoying tricks.

"Levi..." He growled in a low tone, wanting the stubborn headed being to sense he was serious but yet again, he just shrugged with an expressionless gaze, intentionally ignoring the daggers being casted his way.

"You seem to miss Azazel so much, find him yourself."

"What do you want me to do then? Kiss you?" Roshan couldn't help but add sarcasm to his deep tone, unaware of how seductive it sounded in the grand quiet hall and that made Levi's hazel eyes widen in full surprise.

"You're only permitted to make those options if I was a woman you heartless demon!" To be honest, he was starting to regret why he never came as a gorgeous woman rather than a man, sometimes the thought of it made him sick and he knew Roshan did that on purpose to irk him up.

"Agreed, so where's Azazel?"

"Handling a few issues he's currently dealing with for days," he firmly responded while staring at the wine glass in his grip, "but he should be back as of....." the moment he drawed the last word, a powerful sharp light suddenly shot through the open window, landing directly at the center of the main hall where Roshan stood.

It glowed in a very tremendous red light and once it faded, another beautiful being was standing before the two of them, dressed in a fancy red robe and matching trousers, his silvery-white hair spilling across his back and shoulders as his blue eyes lazily met the stare of Roshan.

"Welcomed home brother." He casually uttered with an expressionless face, making it sound like it was a normal thing for one to disappear and appear when they feel like it in the Astaroth family.

"They claimed you were dead, unfortunately I knew you better." Azazel commented after studying the pulchritudinous being who stood before him, looking unscathed and full of illuminating darkness. He finally moved.

"What is it? I'm busy and your presence is distracting, shouldn't you be getting rid of those storm demons to ease your anger? I thought you hated them."

Azazel quickly suggested after sensing the unsatisfied rage in his brother, it made him feel like pouring cold water on him and easing his temperance a little but then, he skipped the idea as it would only make him burn further.

"I thought I was the only one who noticed it." Levi teasingly added while moving from the wall he was resting on.

Roshan indeed hated them and every other useless Demon's, but since those filthy Demon's were helping him accomplish a bit of his task for once in their miserable existence, why stop them??

"The clouds." Roshan started with a look of seriousness, ignoring the words of both his brothers, "I sensed it for the first time today and something doesn't feel right with it." He turned his questionable gaze towards Azazel who took a seat on one of the ornate chairs at the corners of the main hall.

"Why so?"

"Incase you're suspecting something," Azazel began with his expression still stoic, giving him a slight resemblance to Roshan as he met his gaze," then yes, a soul has escaped from the limbo the moment you vanished during the last war and I'm still having troubles recovering it."

"A soul?"

"A special soul." His gaze darkened a bit, "and it's causing a serious rift between the three realms."
