Adalia sat in her throne overlooking all of hell. To her left sat the young Harlequin(breed of incubus) Incubus and to the right was the head of Hellian affairs. They were currently in the middle of a very important council dealing with the affairs of the entire underworld. Suddenly a short, fat little creature onto the platform and bowed before her highness.
"Majesty, I have important documents for thee!" He squeaked.
The queen held out her hand and he placed the envelope into her marble hand. Her eyes darted over the seal and address.
"Atalia? What business could Atalia have with the underworld?" she muttered as she ripped open the sealed paper. A gasp escaped her lips when she read the text. "Chase!" she shouted despite his closeness to her. He was in her face in a split second.
"Yes my queen?" he sneered. Chase hated the queen with his entire being but because she helped him in the past, he was under contract as her servant for the next fifty years.
"You are to head to the Atalian prince's palace right away. Our allies are in grave danger."
Her grabbed the letter from her; people gaped at his rudeness.
Dear Chase,
I will not waste your time with pointless messages. It is a simple as this, Atalia is in danger, and we need your help. Please come and assist us in our quest to save Atalia. I will explain everything to you once you arrive.
Sincerely,
Your prince.
Chase wondered why the prince of a land on the surface would ask him for help.
"I will go right away, dear queen," he said in a false tone.
He was about to race off when a hand grabbed his collared uniform shirt and pulled him. The queen's face was inches from his own.
"You violate our terms while your on the surface and I'll have you stitched and isolated."
"Y-yes your majesty!" he said and raced back to his small home to change out of his work clothes. He shook out his properly groomed hair and it fell into his face. He threw on a pair of random skinnies and a baggy t-shirt. Because the surface was freezing(compared to hell) he slipped on a patterned jacket and some Osirises(yes they have in-style sneakers in Hell! XD). He checked in his mirror and saw he looked pretty good, a little loud but hey, it would make a statement!
After traveling by hyaenodon(a big dog thingy) for a little while he came to a small opening under a tree. As he climbed out he felt something smack his head. A hamadryad gazed down at him from her tree with a disturbed expression.
"Sorry lovely, but I've got places to be!" he said and ran off toward the looming castle in the distance. He didn't hear he scream curses at him.
When he got to the gate he had trouble passing the guards because he'd left the letter on his table.
"Listen boys," he said pulling out a needle. He touched the tip to his tongue(poisonous venom). "Let me in now or we're going to have trouble."
The guards laughed. "Why should we let in some mismatched little whatever you are without any proof you're supposed to be here! And what kind of threat is a sewing needle?"
Chase pulled out a second and touched his tongue to it as well. Using quick foot work, he was able to stick one gaurd in the neck and one in his leg. They instantly froze and fell to the ground.
"You'll be back to normal in about an hour, see you later!" chase laughed and walked up to the door. He was shown to a room filled with a few other people. He instantly noticed the women.
"Hello, Chase Aurelius at your service." he said and bowed low to the prince.
