Backstory time woo-hoo

"MY BIRTHDAY! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!"

A tiny owl hopped out of his bed and trotted towards the mirror. "Yay! Birthday time! Birthday time!" He continued, and an imp strode out of the doorway, and towards him. He put some gel on his feathers and said, "Calm yourself down, young prince." He patted his head after and Stolas sighed and said, "Oh, right, but father told me that today is the day that I learnt my responsibility and purpose!" Stolas proceeded and hopped out of the room. "Yeah, yeah, I know, I know..." The imp said and followed him. 

Stolas trotted towards his father's room and a giant silhouette sat in the room, on a giant throne. It slowly transformed and a ginger-brown owl looked at the tiny owlet. He had a shiny golden crown, red eyes and some sort of symbols on his face. He wore a giant cape and turned his attention towards the imp butler. "Happy birthday! Uhh-which son is this? There's a lot." Paimon announced to his son, but then whispered to the imp. "Stolas, your highness." The imp said and Paimon grinned. "Oh Stolas! Happy birthday! I suppose you are ready to learn about your purpose, yes?" Paimon added and Stolas jumped up and down in excitement but made sure he wasn't over-excited.

"Yes father!" Stolas grinned. Paimon summoned a book, which opened a galaxy-filled portal above him, which Stolas looked in awe to. He explained to Stolas that he would be able to open up portals to the mortal realm, and once finish explaining, he closed the book and the portal disappeared...but the moment was ruined. "By the way, you are engaged to a precautionary addition to the Goetia Family, isn't she charming?" Paimon asked and showed a picture of a young owlet in a pink dress, with two pigtails beating up some dogs. Stolas looked at it closely, before bursting into tears.

"Oh, that's an ugly noise, son!" Paimon mentioned and patted his head a few times. Stolas stopped crying but he was still a bit scared. "Here, how about you cease this crying?" Paimon added, and Stolas bursted into tears once again. "That usually works...Would you like it if I took you to the circus in town? Children enjoy the circus, right? Wouldn't that distract you?" Paimon smiled and patted his head again.

"Now, the best part of the circus! The clowns!"

The bright red curtains flew open, and imp clowns busted out. The audience was screaming and screeching, but it was normal. I held my grip on my rope and took a step from the platform. I watched Fizzarolli and Blitzo, excited. "Ready, Fiz and Blitz?" I asked them, and Fizzarolli and Blitzo answered, "Born ready." With that, we jumped from the platform, holding the rope, and we caught hold of each other...sort of. We flew passed by as I held onto the two, passing the audience. Obviously oblivious to a certain owl who seemed to be mesmerized. 

"TA-DA!" Blitzo announced and hopped down from a ball. Fiz and I passed by, watching from the platforms above, as Blitzo tried to entertain the audience. "Heyya, folks! Wanna see me make a horse?" Blitzo asked, as the clapping and cheering stopped from the audience. He blew a green balloon, and then wrapped it into a tangled-up thing, which popped. He noticed this and tried another, but it also popped, then another, and another, until he made a horse-looking creature with no legs. He flashed it onto the audience, and there was silent for a moment, until someone coughed. He started tearing up, then started to make up a story.

"Ok, Blitzy, that's enough." I said, jumping from the rope and patted him on the back. "You did great though, bro. Your horse is pretty cool." I heard a giggle from the audience and turned to face an owlet, who was giggling. "See? He gets it!" I added and I heard the owl whisper, "Yeah! They are right...that horse IS pretty cool." From the mirror the imp butler was holding, Paimon looked at Stolas with a raised-eyebrow and looked back towards me. I flashed a smile at him and turned back towards Blitzo and Fizzarolli.

"I swear, Blitzo, if you don't stop with the blood, I will punch you." I mumbled to Blitzo, who was giggling. I moved my balloon horse to one side, before Fizzarolli hopped in, still wearing his clown costume. "Calm down, Y/n!" Fizzarolli smiled. "It is true though, Blitzo. You are being annoying. Stop with the blood." Before I could respond, I heard some talking coming from another room. I listened closely, and could make out words like, "My son seemed to enjoy watching the show, especially when the third demon came." "Which one? Fiz, Blitz..or Y/n?" "Y/n, I think." I stopped 'eavesdropping' and dropped the balloon horse I was holding.

"Y/n? Are you ok?" Fizzarolli asked, and I nodded. He smiled and proceeded to play with Blitzo, but Blitzo was a bit concerned. "You sure, right?" He asked I nodded. "It's not a big deal, I'm fine, ok? Let's continue playing." I added and we continued playing.

"It's a pleasure to meet you!" Stolas grinned and bowed down to me. I was confused at first why he was bowing, but I bowed down back. "Thank you, your highness. It is a pleasure meetin' ya, too!" I grinned, and I heard a slapping noise. My head immediately shot up and I saw Stolas rubbing his head, with Paimon smiling and mumbling, "You fool! Don't bow down to them! They bow down to us!" and "I'm so good at daddying!" I rubbed my head Stolas turned back to smiling with a tint of red on his cheeks. Blitzo grinned and shrugged. "Now, they're all yours, your highness!" Blitzo's dad grinned and proceeded to retreat to the...bushes? Paimon didn't notice, but then walked back towards the palace.

Blitzo and I looked at Stolas and he had a giant cheesy grin on. "Come on, now! Let's go play!" He smiled and grabbed my hand, heading towards the palace stairs. "Oi!" Blitzo yelled, chasing after me and also grabbing my other hand. Great. I'm stuck now. I can't escape. I sighed and Stolas flopped down onto a couch. I guess we're in his room now, and I didn't notice. Blitzo shot me a look, a mischievous look, for more detail. I smiled at him, but I wasn't sure what his plan was. Stolas headed towards his bookshelf and grabbed some books about gardening. Blitzo and I went towards him, and we started reading...or at least Stolas and I did.

"THIS IS BORING!" Blitzo declared, and closed the book shut. Stolas jumped back, startled and I glared at Blitzo. "So? You scared Stolas!" I scolded, and I helped Stolas back up. He grinned with more red stuff on his cheeks. What? Was that blush? Probably? I smiled back and Blitzo sheepishly rubbed his head. "Yikes! sorry, Y/n." He apologised and I nodded. "It's ok, so what do you want to play?"

As we sped through the bookshelves, my grip on the ladder tightened, as Blitzo and Stolas were on the bottom part of the ladder. Stolas was nervous at first, but he got used to it. Blitzo though, was carrying a huge bag for something, I'm not sure what, but I didn't let curiosity get the best of me. We flew past by some shelves with interesting items on them, and Blitzo swiftly brushed them off and they landed into the bag. Stolas didn't realise what his idea was, but instead helped him with it.

It was a few minutes later, when we landed on the shiny tiles of the palace. Stolas giggled and we stared at the ceiling above, with a large chandelier hanging above. Blitzo arrived soon after and his bag was gone. He probably gave it to his father, who was hiding in the bushes. "Haha...that was fun..." Stolas smiled, and Blitzo grinned. "Glad ya think so! Say, how about we go outside?" He asked and I saw twinkles appearing in Stolas' eyes. "Of course! Come on, Y/n" He grinned, and once again, grabbed my hand we hopped outside.

The sky was turning darker, as we made our way towards a giant tree. It was a fairly big tree with red leaves, and thick roots coming from the bottom of it. Stolas sat in the middle of the tree, and I sat next to him, while Blitzo sat on one of the roots. "Say, Y/n..." Stolas started, "What do you think you'll be when you're older?" I thought a bit when he asked that, and I shrugged. "Honestly, I'm not sure." I said, and Stolas grinned. "If you start your own business, please hire me! I would love to work in your business, if you have one, of course." I giggled and Blitzo smiled as well, "And me too, Y/n!" With that, we bursted into laughter and continued talking as the night flew by...

Years Later...

Stolas sat up from his bed and groaned. He rubbed his eyes, before slipping on his red bathrobe and heading towards the mirror. He looked at himself for a bit before brushing his hair and taking some happy pills and swallowing them. He went over to his bookshelf and opened a book, which some interesting symbols came out of. I pressed my face towards the window and watched in awe, figuring out how to get in. Stolas shut the book and slipped it back on the bookshelf, before yawning and walking away. I struggled to open the window and proceeded to slide away.

"I know still being married isn't a big enough occasion but fair it's no picnic being married to a boring stiff like STOLAS." Stella mumbled through the phone, and Stolas waved. She shot him a glare before brushing her hair and walking away from him. Stolas sighed and placed his cup of coffee on the table and opened up a magazine. He flipped onto a page saying, 'NOT DIVORCED Anniversary Party! COUPLES ONLY.' Stolas looked at it confusingly before asking Stella, "Stella, what in HELL is this?" 

"Ugh, Stolas! You know I like throwing parties, plus it's true. You can come if you want." Stella snobbishly said and turned back to walking a different direction and flipping her hair. Stolas looked at it weirdly before drinking his coffee.

"Stolas sir!"

"ACK-"

"We caught this little demon prowling around your palace, your highness." Two hellhounds said, and I sheepishly looked up at Stolas with a nervous smile. "Into my palace? Really? Wow, that's...quite concerning, leave them to me...I'll handle this...accordingly." Stolas grinned and my smile was instantly removed from my face. The two hellhounds left, and I was dropped. "Follow, me." Stolas said and walked towards a different area. I followed him and wondered what he was going to do. I looked at the people around the palace and crossed my arms. I stared at the pictures down the hallways, and one caught my eye. It was Stolas holding a tiny owlet, casting a spell. Was that his daughter? Possibly. No, probably.

"You know, I didn't mean to interrupt your party, or whatever-" I said, trying to make up and excuse. "Don't bother with excuses, dear." Stolas said, facing a door. "I know why you're here." "Oh! You-you do?" I asked and he nodded and walked into the room, opening the door. "You are here to-" I quickly pushed him down and closed the door. "Give me your book." I spoke. "What? W-What book?" Stolas asked nervously and I sighed. I got off of him and walked towards the bookshelf, pointing to the Grimoire. "Oh! Well, I don't think I could give t-that to you-" Stolas mumbled, and I rolled my eyes.

"Will this convince you?" I asked, and kissed him, before slipping the Grimoire out of his hands and walking out. "Y-Yes, It..will." Stolas said with a huge blush and tried to get it off of his cheeks, but obviously failed.

"SORRY! I kissed your husband!" I yelled, staring at the shocked Stella and her two guests, before hopping away and ignoring her yelling.

"WHAT THE [QUACK] WAS THAT STOLAS?" Stella screeched and Stolas smiled, leaning over the balcony.

"That was the sound...of a [QUACKING] DIVORCE! HAHAHAHAHA!" Stolas laughed, with a huge smile on his face.

NOW

"WHAT THE [QUACK] ARE YOU DOING?" Stella asked, demanding an answer. She watched as Stolas rubbed his eyes, and leaned back from the balcony, not bothering to turn around and face her. "Reflecting." Stolas muttered plainly and Stella glared at him. "Well, STOP!" She said and pointed her finger to the ground. "It's annoying hearing you screech your silly quotes all the time." She said and walked towards him. "Why are you still here?" Stolas asked. "You leave with Via on the weekends and stay around the house despite everything." Stella had a mischievous expression on and pointed at him, sort of. "I like tormenting you!" She smiled. "I want to keep reminding you of what you did."

"I know what I did!" Stolas defended, and Stella jumped back lazily. "I would feel bad if I hurt you, but we both know that I didn't do that." He continued. "I tried, so many years, to make this comfortable for us, to have this family! But it was never enough! The only reason why I endured your CONSTANT insults is for that girl to have a normal life!" Stella raised an eyebrow, but his last part of his rant was the last straw. "I want you OUT. Now!" Stolas demanded. "What do you mean, OUT?" Stella asked suspiciously, and he continued, "I mean OUT! Out of my LIFE! Out of this house! We are getting the DIVORCE!" 

"HOW DARE YOU!" Stella yelled angrily and pointed a finger to his chest. "What will the rest of the Goetia Family would think?"Andrealphus-" She continued and flung her hand, but Stolas captured it. "I don't CARE what your arrogant brother thinks! The Goetia Family wanted the precautionary as 17, so we're done!" He yelled, and Stella pulled her hand away. "Fine, you have fallen from little grace you've had, and I know you'll pay for it." She smirked, and walked back into the palace, leaving Stolas alone.

Stolas sighed and tried to wipe the streaks of mascara off of his face and slumped down from the balcony and looked up at the stars.
