Vampire King Apollyon
***********************
Apollyon returned to the Summer Castle to obey his wife's request to bring Princess Sapphire and Xerxes along to carry out the Goddess Hecate's mission without the Summer Monarch's knowledge.? Both of them walked out of the royal infirmary without any second glances coming from King Oberon and Queen Titania.
They were too occupied with their mother's condition, demanding the Faerie doctors to heal her with Fae Magic.
If they assumed that she was too weak to heal herself with Fae Magic and she could still be saved with potions, brews and salves, then they thought wrong.
Apollyon wasn't going to say anything either.
Let the Summer Faeries assume and try their hardest to bring her health and vigor back.
It would be an impossible feat to do considering what Sloth had done.
Luna was right.
They were running out of time, so they had to persuade them as soon as possible.
Apollyon sought audience with Princess Sapphire in secret and told her about Hecate's mission.
He wasn't done explaining, but the spymaster readily agreed to go with them to find the Tree of the Four Seasons.
It was too good to be true how she fitted so easily in their plans to search for this mythical tree no one from the Faerie Realm had ever seen before after the Great Faerie War, which made him suspicious.
Princess Sapphire shared in a hush-hush voice that the Goddess had visited her in a dream last night and filled her in with the details, so she found no need for Apollyon to elaborate more. Apollyon was relieved that the discussion was short.
Now, the only thing Princess Sapphire must do was to get Xerxes on board.
It would be easy since those two were attached to the hip.
They always travel in pairs.
Both were loyal to each other similar to his relationship with his mate.
After that, Apollyon returned to the royal infirmary to discuss his wife's prize to the Summer Monarchs.
Before he and Princess Sapphire entered the threshold, Apollyon didn't miss the Summer King and Queen's wrathful conversation about hunting the two Ghoul Princes and killing them as revenge for their daughter's predicament.
The instant Queen Titania saw them, the Summer Faeries inside the royal infirmary went eerily silent as if a god had entered, and they had to shut their mouths to avoid punishment.
Then, Apollyon glanced around them and spoke with confidence, telling King Oberon and Queen Titania politely that their group would be leaving the Summer Courts tonight to avoid any trouble and to forget about the horrendous sight at the colosseum.
Nobody asked for an apology since it was obvious that the winner was fair—even if the opponent attempted to cheat— and nobody could refute that as false.
He requested the Summer Monarchs that his half-sister should be the one who would bring the damned paintings to them which Princess Ourania owed Luna as the winner.
They would meet t the location they had agreed upon.
The King and Queen of the Summer Courts had no choice but to grant their request and honor Princess Ourania's end of the bargain.
When the negotiation ended, Princess Sapphire and Apollyon parted ways so that they could prepare for their journey.
Apollyon also rummaged a few light clothes for his wife from their bed chamber's closets in the? Summer Castle, for himself and for their Archdemon Familiars.
He shoved those clothes in a drawstring bag just in case they needed another set of dry clothes during their travel only to find the Archdemon of Gluttony hugging his wife as she belonged to her which made him ballistic.
He attacked the arrogant devil, and Apollyon was smug when Ravin couldn't fight back because of his wife's command.
Apollyon beat him to a pulp without breaking a sweat, and Ravin deserved every punch.
It turned out that Luna never seduced Ravin when Apollyon was gone to tie up loose ends in the Summer Castle!
The bastard only did that to make him jealous when the Familiar saw him coming!
These devils were testing his patience!
He toned down his outrage the instant his wife did something about them by putting the Archdemons to sleep.
If he could wield Luna's power of? controlling these damned Archdemons, his first order would be to kill themselves over and over.
When the apiary had gone silent, Luna defended herself and cleared up the misunderstandings.
He made her swear her loyalty to the mating bond.
Yet, why was he discontented?
Why was there a little part of him holding back, telling him not to trust her so that he wouldn't get hurt in the future?
Nevertheless, Apollyon felt like a burden was lifted from his shoulders after telling his wife about his doubts and receiving her seemingly honest reassurance.
Now that his wife made her Familiar's wish come true, Luna woke Ravin and Sloth again from their slumber and ordered them to keep their mouth shut until they arrived at the next location.
The four of them left the apiary after his short brawl with Ravin and traveled back to the mountains to meet Princess Sapphire and Xerxes.
This was the first time their group had stayed in the forest after nightfall to meet them by the waterfalls.
As a vampire, Apollyon always prefer the night to the day.
Fireflies of glitter and golf hovered around the trees' canopies
It was magical how the ancient trees' gnarled limbs reached high into the dark sky as its leaves danced in the soothing breeze, making them appear like they were brushstrokes of a painting.
Apollyon raised his head towards the heavens and watched the white-gold beauty and grace of the moon casting a warm milky glow in this clear night.
He became absorbed in the music of the crickets as he allowed the sound of the waterfalls hitting the pool to wash over him like nature's gentle laughter.
He watched his wife sleep as he let her rest her head in his lap.
