[Kadeon]
"I hate that stupid man!" Kadeon screamed after the portal closed. He would not give that stupid god the satisfaction of knowing his rage at the stupidity of it all.
"So, how was delivering your daughter and your son's egg to them?" Apocolios asked while picking one of his noses.
"That creature is not my son, nor has he ever been! Be gone! Leo! Get over here, you useless Zodiac!"
Leo hesitantly approached Kadeon, doing his best to hide the guilt and turmoil he felt within him. "Yes, sir?" he asked cautiously, unsure of what was coming next.
Kadeon glared at him with intense hatred. "You failed me once again, Leo. I should have crushed that egg the moment it was created, but instead, I had to play along with this ridiculous game!"
He paced back and forth angrily. "But no matter! We will find another way to defeat Galio and his pathetic allies. And you, Leo, will be instrumental in their downfall."
Leo swallowed hard, feeling a weight settle on his chest. He knew that he couldn't continue down this path of darkness, but with Kadeon's power looming over him, he felt trapped.
"What do you want me to do, sir?" Leo asked reluctantly, dreading the answer.
Kadeon smirked sinisterly. "First, we'll strengthen your powers – make sure you're an even match for Galio and his friends! But that is not going to be enough! Where is that slut of a Virgo?! Virgo!"
Virgo appeared before Kadeon, doing her best to hide the disdain she felt for him. "I'm here; what do you want from me?"
Kadeon sneered at her. "You have been letting Galio between those legs of yours the entire time, so I want you to continue to do that! You are to gain his trust back by making him think that you have broken free of my grasp. Give him all of your soul, and make him forget what his purpose is. I know you have the power to do that, whore!" Kadeon snapped. If he had his way, he would remove all these genitals, just like his were.
Virgo gritted her teeth, holding back her anger. "Fine. If that's what you want me to do, I will."
A wicked grin spread across Kadeon's face. "Good. Make sure you succeed this time – or else the consequences will be dire for both you and that useless cuck of a Sagittarius! I will make you watch all the other men defile him!"
Virgo nodded reluctantly, her heart aching at the thought of betraying Galio and putting Sagittarius in danger. "Understood." She then turned around and left to carry out Kadeon's orders.
As she walked away, Leo caught up with her, concern etched on his face. "Virgo… do you really have to do this?"
She looked at him sadly. "I don't see any other choice, Leo. If we don't follow Kadeon's commands, he'll make our lives even more miserable."
Leo clenched his fists in frustration. "There has to be another way – a way for us to fight back against him!"
Virgo sighed. "Maybe there is, but until we find it, we must play along with his twisted games," she said and then looked Leo in the eye. "You have at least been able to be his friend while I was forced to make us all look like fools. How do you handle it?"
Leo's expression became pained. "If I could just end it, I would, but that would only hurt Galio more. Even if we have to do this, we all fought him before, long ago, when we first met. Even though we all fought to kill him, he left us all alive and then kept us as his guards. I know that he will figure out how to stop Kadeon."
Virgo offered him a small, sad smile. "You have a lot of faith in him."
Leo nodded. "I do. Galio has always been able to overcome the worst situations, and I believe he will come again. No matter what Kadeon throws at us, we must hold onto that hope."
As they both walked away with heavy hearts, secretly plotting their own rebellion against Kadeon's tyranny, they knew that the battle ahead would be fraught with danger and betrayal. But with friends like Galio and their shared determination to break free from Kadeon's grasp, they had to believe that there was still a chance for a brighter future.
[Galio]
After spending another day with Tallia and our new egg that she took everywhere, I headed back to see Eliza. I needed to get back to the Underworld, but I had promised my little countess that I would come and see her.
I decided that I would leave the old memories alone and just focus on the new ones that I had made with Eliza and the ones we would make in the future. The old memories had been buried for a reason, and I was no longer the same person from then, so I wouldn't dwell on them.
As I arrived at Eliza's manor, she greeted me with a warm smile and open arms. "Galio, it's good to see you again."
I pulled her into a tight embrace, breathing in the comforting scent of her perfume. "It's great to be back with you, too, Eliza."
We sat down together in her cozy parlor, sipping tea as we caught up on how our lives had been since we last saw each other. Sharing stories and laughter, our connection grew even stronger.
"Galio," Eliza said softly, placing her hand on mine, "I've missed you so much, and I'm happy that we can finally spend some time together before you have to return to the Underworld."
"I know it won't be easy, but I promise I'll always come back to you," I assured her, leaning in for a tender kiss. Our lips met, sealing our unspoken vow to one another.
As the evening wore on, we decided to retire to her bed-chamber, where we could enjoy each other's company more intimately. Like with Tallia, I wanted to create new memories and deepen our bond, ensuring that we would remain connected no matter what challenges we faced.
Lying next to Eliza, our bodies entwined, I realized just how vital these relationships were – not only for my own happiness but also for the strength they provided me during my battles against Kadeon and my friends he was controlling. These incredible women were my source of courage and inspiration, and together, we were an unstoppable force.
Renewed determination filled me as I held Eliza close, knowing that I still had work to do. The road ahead would be treacherous and fraught with danger, but there was no turning back now. With the love and support of Tallia, Eliza, and all those who stood by my side, I knew that victory was within reach.
And so, as the sun set on another day, we prepared to face whatever challenges awaited us – standing strong and united in our shared fight against Kadeon and his forces of darkness. We would emerge victorious, for love was a power that could not be denied or defeated.
In time, all things would come to pass – darkness and light would coexist in a constant struggle for balance. But as long as we had each other, there was nothing we couldn't overcome.
As dawn broke over the horizon, signaling another day full of hope and possibilities, I felt more determined than ever to put an end to Kadeon's reign of terror. With love in my heart and the unwavering support of those who mattered most, I set out on my journey back to the Underworld – ready to face whatever challenges fate might throw my way.
"Make sure to come back safe, okay?!" Eliza said as I stood in the backyard with her, Breya, my daughter Grace, and Senna, who had joined us.
"Yes, and try not to get too distracted, okay? I am pretty sure Grace is going to be taking care of me before you get back, so please hurry?" Breya asked, looking completely serious.
I grinned and walked over, kissed her, and then put our foreheads together. "You made a beautiful girl."
"We did, so make sure you get back here to help me, okay?" Breya said, looking back up at me with golden eyes.
"The next time you see me, I won't be going anywhere for a very long time. I am finishing this and killing Kadeon and Angelios; then I will be spending from now until the end of time with everyone I love in this world, okay?"
Breya nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. "I'll hold you to that promise."
As I hugged my family and friends one last time, I knew that their love and faith in me would guide me through the trials ahead. With a final wave of goodbye, I stepped through the portal back to the Underworld.
The battle against Kadeon and Angelios wouldn't be easy, but I was prepared to face it head-on. The future of everyone I cared about depended on it, and I refused to let them down.
