Helluva Boss

The Circus

Third Person POV

The episode opens with an exterior shot of the Paimon's mansion. Cut to Young Stolas asleep in his bed, surrounded by stuffed animals while hugging one resembling a demonic Max from Sam & Max. Stolas wakes up, yawns, and smacks his lips. [This is in the past so they are younger!]

A young Stolas eyes shoot open in realization and sits up, "My birthday, my birthday! It's my birthday!" He smiled brightly.

Stolas leaps out of the sheets and lands on all fours on the floor. He runs off to his dressing room, arms raised in excitement as an Imp butler walks into view to attend to him.

"Yaaaay! Birthday, birthday! WOOHOO! Birthday tiiiiime!" Stolas was practically jumping up and down.

Mister Butler opens a tin of hair gel and begins applying it to Stolas.

"Calm yourself, young prince. You know excitement is unbecoming of a Goetia." The Butler sighed.

"Oh!" Stolas tries to calm down, "Right." He smiled.

Stolas takes a deep breath to calm himself. As Mister Butler walks off to retrieve Stolas' vest and cape, returning to put them on him.

"But, Father told me, today is the day, I am old enough to know my purpose and responsibility!" Stolas eyes sparkle with glee.

"Of course." The Butler places a crown on Stolas' head, "I'm sure it will be wonderful." He nodded.

Stolas follows the butler out of the dressing room down a large hallway. The wall is lined with four giant pictures of Stolas at various prior ages. The first shows Stolas in his egg, sat upon a pillow and topped with a crown.

The second shows him as a hatchling swaddled up in his crib, his swaddling cloth held together by a pin bearing the Goetia family insignia. He is accompanied by the demon Max plush seen earlier and a star shaped pillow.

The third shows him as what can be assumed to be a toddler, smiling as he hugs the demon Max plush. The fourth and final shows him in his current on-screen appearance, hugging the demon Max plush as an unknown creature drips green slime on his head.

Scene cuts to Stolas and the butler standing in front of large double doors, which open to reveal a throne room. Paimon, Stolas' father and King of the Ars Goetia, is seen sitting on the throne in his monstrous black demon form. He stands up, his form shifting to display various demonic creatures as he transforms into his normal, bird-like self. The butler walks over to Paimon and stands next to him as Stolas approaches his father.

"Ahhhh! There is my little, uh..." Paimon seemed confused.

Stolas smiles gleefully at his father, looking up at his father.

Paimon whispers to Butler while pointing at Stolas, "Which son is this one? There's so fucking many." He asked.
