"Prince Stolas." Someone called once we escaped the smoke of Darkness. The abrupt sound had me clinging to Zayn's side for safety.

"Hello, Eligor." Zayn said. Why did he answer to the voice? Stolas isn't his name.

"Who has come to accompany you into the Depths?" The large man asked.

I studied him from the floor where his feet and body were covered in red armor, to his muscular legs, to his torso which was probably the size of a boulder.

When I finally reached his upper body, I was shocked to find that the giant man had no face. It was black with yellow slits for eyes through his protective helmet.

"Anastasia." Zayn said.

"The Gift?" Eligor's voice became confused.

"Yes. Now will you let us pass?" Zayn asked.

"Yes, Prince Stolas. Are you sure the Gift is ready to be given?"

"Yes."

"Very well," Eligor rose his arm and smoke thickened right beside him to reveal a black door. "You may enter."

How many doors do we have to go through to see his mother? Eligor counted as a tank so we've had to go through four doors, and a tank, to see this woman.

Once we stepped through the door, I immediately began thinking of where I've heard Prince Stolas.

"Ana." Zayn whispered.

I looked up at him. "What?"

"I am referred to as Stolas here." He replied.

"Why?"

"Because that is my demon's name." He moved his eyes to the floor and began walking with me towed behind him. His ego began to boost. "I am Stolas. The Prince of Hell, the Great Raven, the thirty-sixth demon of the Goetia, and the commander of twenty-six demonic legions."

"Isn't Stolas a character in Castlevania?" I asked referring to the video game.

"Humans know their shit so they put it in video games to express their knowledge of us." He chuckled. "They are the intelligent species on Earth. They don't want to appear insane talking about demons who look like ravens."

"You look like a raven?" I questioned.

"Correct."

"Cool." I murmured.

"No. Not cool. I don't understand how it's cool to you. You should be terrified of me."

"I am." I stated honestly.

"You are?" He asked.

"Petrified, actually." I began walking in the direction I assumed we were going. He didn't stop me so I guess I was right.

"Then why do you stay with me?"

"Because it feels absolutely right." I said to cover up the thought of me saying 'I love you.'

"Same here." He said.

A giant room distracted me from him and I gasped at how many people filled it. It looked like a ball.

A woman was sitting on a throne high up in the air. Her power was obvious as it seemed to radiate when she watched the Dark beings below her dance like puppets. Her eyes flickered up to Zayn when we walked in.

"Is that your mother?" I whispered.

"Yes," He said. "That is Bael, the very first demon of the Goetia."

Her eyes moved to mine, and I was instantly captivated by the beauty of the dark orange color. She smiled deviously as Zayn began talking to me.

"Now how are we-"

My soul was someplace else before he could finish his sentence.
