~Adalia
Life was lonely without Chase Even for a few hours. I know it was forced, but he was always by my side and I'd gotten used to it.
I motioned for a servant to come. I pulled him close and whispered, "Bring my a Hellian Hyaenodon, NOW!" The laces around my mouth vibrated. I was not going to sit here alone sulking.
The hyaenodon was brought snarling to me feet. I changed into the clothes a earthen human might wear, what Chase insisted on wearing when not in uniform. Just a some jeans, boots, and a big warm jacket. The surface was absolutely bone-chillingly cold.
I hopped on the animal and grabbed it's scruff. These things ran like a surface car on cobblestone. I kicked it sharply and head into the deeper parts of Hell. I found the little shack quickly and entered without knocking. In a room to the left, a young man hunched over a desk.
"Mars, I need you to take charge while I'm gone."
He turned, surprised. "Anything for the queen." and then he was gone. Damn fallen angel, so very rude. Yet so very reliable!
Outside I remounted the creature and rode non-stop into a portal, open and ready for me.
I appeared outside a castle and could her faint cheers from within. Was there a show going on? Why would Chase be here?
A pair of guards moved to bar my entrance. The hyaenodon growled.
"Let me pass." I commanded.
They refused.
I walked closer to the one on the right and pressed a finger on his arm. His flesh became an angry red color and began to blister. "you will show me to the prince." I said.
"I can't do that without seeing an invitation."
I moved my hand to his face. That too burned under my touch. "You dare ask the queen of all Hell for an invitation?" I whispered in his ear.
His face had a look of fear and surprise on the undamaged half. "S-sorry, I didn't know your identity, follow me miss."
With that, he led me into a great room.
"looks like the test has started..." He whispered. He continued down a hall and we came out in a huge colosseum. He went straight to the prince and exchanged some words. The prince turned to me and held out a hand. "Welcome Adalia!"
I heard A gasp from a few meters down and instantly recognized Chase. I took the princes hand quickly so as not to burn him and then turned to the Harlequin Incubus. I put my hand in my pocket and felt the worn edges of the picture. I saw the look of disgust on his face, how he hated me! I wished with all my heart he'd forget about that girl and love me, but it seemed it would never happen. I ran over to him and put my arms around his neck.
As a sign of respect he gave me a brief kiss on the cheek and then pushed me away.
"Chase," I began but he interrupted me.
"Shut up, you're making a scene." he said coldly and sat down to watch a demon shape-shifter finish the last of many soldiers in the arena bellow.
