Chapter Twenty-Seven

Aiden

“AI-DEN!”

I cringe when my name is bellowed. The directive bounces between all levels of Hell. There is no hiding. My father is summoning me. Why am I the second in command when Sammael and I have the same angel rank?

If only the king would stay locked away in his cage forever. I’ve been dreading this day; his release. Things have been pretty good thus far. The Knights are creating havoc in the Ordinaries’ world, natural disasters are in abundance thanks to the Marquises demons, and my plan is being executed nicely. I’m assured that Father is going to mess up my plans now that he’s free to roam the levels of Hell.

I should check on him though, in case there was a malfunction to the prison’s door. I can only hope. The Archangels locked dear old Dad in a cage since the Fall, but that doesn’t mean that his powers were sealed. The Seraph Angels weren’t strong enough to strip him of his Light. He said that he managed to draw some of their Light with him when he got locked up, which is why they can’t come to earth or even roam between the Levels. Yes, the King of Hell can still do quite a bit of damage. And I do not need that additional heat raining down on me.

If there’s a God, my father will still be imprisoned.

I chuckle at my own joke.

I vanish from the library and reappear in Hell’s throne room, where my father is shockingly not seated. I must make sure, though. Using Fire Light, I send it across the large, dark room inspecting every crevice for the king.

Could it be?

The black throne sits empty. The room is cold, even though Hell’s Fire flickers against the tall obsidian pillars that line the outer edge of the room. The king’s stone chair sits atop a dais. A thick layer of dust is undisturbed. The rot of death lingers in the stale air.

“Aiden. I know you hear me.” The voice booms as the Fire Light’s flames rise. “Do not make me wait. I gave you a command.”

“I am in the throne room, awaiting your orders.”

“I’m not there.”

That only leaves one other place where he’d be. Shaking my head, I disappear and reappear outside the door of my father’s private chambers. I pull out the large silver key that hangs around my neck, the only one of its kind, given to me as a safety precaution so many eons ago. Who knew that today would be when I use it? I had hoped this day would never come.

I slide the key into the lock and hear the click. I push the black walnut door open.

The room is the same as it has always been, ever since the Fall. I haven’t been here since then; there has been no reason. Cobwebs hang down the mirror and across the shelves of various weapons. Dust and dirt covers everything. Everything except ... the gold cage the King of Hell sits in.
