It was finally time for the brothers to reunite, Night couldn’t wait to see Day, they were apart for just few hours but for him it felt like days, there were quite a few things that happened to him after all, but luckily they werent bad at all, it was time to let Day handle the rest.

Hades and Tom lead the boys to the prison cell where Day was, and were inwardly thankful that he was in the lowest level of the prison, thanks to the order of Hades, the boy must feel relatively comfortable, after all even with everything that happened they still had let him have quite the delicious food.

Hades didn’t know why the God couldn’t talk to him directly, or why he wanted to see Day but just by the fact that the boy with him was alive and pretty much completely unharmed, it was really not likely that he will go on a rampage, even his body currently was one shaped like a human, so Inferno probably didn’t want to go to war with the kingdom.

Hades wanted to speak with this God, but knew he shouldn’t push the matter, first he would please this being to the best of his ability and then, when it is as satisfied as it could be, he would try to ask him what he wants.

After walking through a corridor with beautiful decoration, all the people arrived in front of the sector with the cages, there was quite an apparent difference in appearance between the part for prisoners and the rest of the prison, but that was how the prison was build, the parts which the guards and rest of the personnel here used, looked like a house of a quite the rich person, it almost looked like something out of a dream, while the parts for the prisoners looked like a nightmare, but that was the minimum the people could do for the people working in this place to make their life comfortable.

When Day saw Night he almost didn’t start to cry again, but the opposite started to run towards the cage and was already crying, but as he got closed he waited for Hades to open it and both brothers hugged tight, it was really fortunate reunion for them.

After they hugged for at least five minutes, Night was poked by Inferno, it was time to explain what was going on to Day, the latter however already knew something was going on, he had never seen this red haired boy in the prison before, and he couldn’t hear or feel the monster anymore as well, and if we combine that with the looks of Hades, the lord of this prison facial expression he could tell that something big must have happened, he just couldn’t figure out where he and his brother fit, to the point of the boy which was probably the monster or someone strong enough to defeat it to let them do what they want for so long, but before he could start to speak, Night started to talk instead.

Night tried to explain everything that had happened after they split and Day was caught by the guards, Day had a bit of a frown on his face but still felt glad to his brother, even if it was dangerous the thing Night had done was the correct thing in the end, even if he had run to the prison without the God being with him, their fate would have been dark, and by making a pact with those creatures whether they were gods or something else he had gotten them a strong protector who could free them from this prison, even if there were few things that werent clear, his brother had done well so he patted his head, he still took a mental note to search for info on John cause by Nights words, he could understand that he has taken a liking of them, cause nobody would help someone for no reason and then turned towards Inferno, it was time to talk with the God.

Day put on a simple smile and looked at Inferno, for some reason the god thought that the person in front of him gave off a feeling of and experienced swindler, but decided to keep that to himself, after all this boy was about to become his saint according to the pact, so they would share a bond so to say, and now that he looked at the boy it was clear that he could receive his power, unlike Night.

Day[So you are Inferno, nice to meet you, O God who would protect us, lets have a chat]

Inferno wasn’t surprised this time, if Night could speak God language it meant that his twin brother probably could as well, but one thing was the same, this kid even if he wasn’t as thoughtless or daring as his twin had the same look of disrespect towards him as Night did, they really were twins in that aspect at least.

Inferno turned towards Night, gave him orders and looked towards Day again, he knew by the way this kid frased the greeting that he would want to speak with him alone, but even if he didn’t Inferno had to do something which Day probably wouldn’t want others to see, becoming a saint wasn’t easy after all.

Night tried to argue but the look on his brother face told him to do that as well, so he took the two statues who were looking at everything, traying to figure even the smallest thing out, and left them alone.

Day [thank you, I wanted to speak with you privately]

Inferno shrugged his shoulders.

Inferno [I know, so what do you want to speak to me about, that you made even your brother leave us]

Day [attack me]

Inferno was dumbfounded, this was the first time someone had told him to attack them, and it was even more crazy if you take into account that the other side was human, that was like ant asking a human to stomp on it.

Inferno[are you insane, I need you, even my weakest attack will kill most of the strongest people on this continent, and you want me to attack you, a kid who dosent even have twelve, did you go crazy or something]

Day decided to clarify as it looked like things wont move forward if he didn’t do it, and it looks like that Inferno hasn’t figure it out as well, that made him happy internally of course, it proved that not all Gods are smart, which means they can be manipulated, but he became even more interested in John now, the one who made deal so beneficial for them without both sides knowing.

Day [just attack me as weak as you can, I want to check something about the pact]

Inferno still wasn’t sure what the other side meant, but it didn’t look like the kid had gone crazy so he decided to comply, he was about to snap his finger and weak fire would come out of the ground to burn the kid, it would be extremely weak one but it would still hurt even if it didnt kill, but as he was about to attack a sudden pain resounded in his whole body making him unable to do so and falling to the ground for a second, {fuck} he sweared inwardly, it was the second time, John shouldn’t be stopping this attack as the kid wanted it, but he still felt the pain. Something was wrong, but as he looked up at the face standing against him he was perplexed, he could swear that the boy had a devilish grin for a second but it quickly disappeared and was now smiling again, that made him angry for some reason.

[WHY DID YOU WANT ME TO ATTACK YOU] inferno shouted angrily.

Day was still as calm as he could be, completely unfaced by the angry god

Day [cause I wanted to check something, and that just now made it clear, you cant attack me or my brother]

Inferno was confused [what do you mean]

Day[in the pact you made, you promised not to let harm come to us, but I wondered if that included a harm from you as well, and you actions just now proved that it did, you cant hurt me or my brother in any way]

Inferno was dumfounded, he really didn’t think the pact through, he knew that John had taken a liking to the other kid but this was still going a bit too far, he thought that he should just protect them from outside harm, but that didn’t include himself as he was the one protecting them and the one who made the pact, if that was true then the pact wasn’t equally advantageous for both parties, the kids had much more benefits if he had to protect the kids from small inconveniences as well, they just needed to be his guides, but he had to be their resolute protector which was unable to harm them even in the smallest of ways, and even need to give Day part of his power which only one person at a time could receive, John really did him good here, he must of known about this but hadn’t said anything, just what did he see while he patted Night to favor them that much.

Day [ok I can see that you are feeling a bit angry, but can you answer a question of mine, what is the difference between a deal and a pact, cause John had told Night that you can make deals only with each other but pacts with everyone]

Inferno wasn’t pleased enough to answer questions right now, and wondered if he should answer truthfully at all but ultimately decided to do so, he was sure that John was currently watching them and one of the few rules the gods have was to answer truthfully about the pacts, cause even if it didn’t seem like much, that was the only thing which forced gods to fulfil their agreement with lower lifeforms, or humans and the other species on the lower plane, the punishment wasn’t hard if he disobeyed, but John would probably come to explain personally the matter, which would make his trip with Night and Day uncomfortable as they would figure out he was laying.

Inferno [well deal and pacts are almost the same thing, deals can be made only between gods and force them to fulfil them once made, and can’t be broken after they were already made, while pact is the deal gods could make with people from this world, and unlike actual deal it could be broken, if one side died, it would annule it, or if both party agree that they don’t want to fulfil it, so the only difference so to say between a pact and a deal excluding the fact that about who they could be made with, is that pact can be annulled after they were made, but deals couldn’t even if one party died, the other still had to fulfill it, but that couldn’t happen because gods were in way immortal, and even if both parties agreed later on that they didn’t want to do something, they still had to]

Day was happy with the explanation, now he knew that the pact can be annulled later on if he wanted to, he just needed to make the other party agree which judging by the intelligence of the other party wouldn’t be difficult, and even if he didn’t know how to kill a god he could always try later on, cause in the pact it was never mentioned they couldn’t harm Inferno only that he couldnt harm them, he now knew the things he wanted to know the most, it was time to ask some other questions.

Day[thank you for the explanation, now I have only two more questions, can I ask them]

Inferno smirked, the tone, the question and the face didn’t look to have the same meaning at all, Inferno had guessed that this boy wouldn’t be much more different that his brother, but after few exchanges he knew he was wrong, Night was and idiot compared to this guy, this boy was smart enough to ask the important question first, and even find something that went over Infernos head, and even now his words might sound respectful, but the tone and the face showed that it wasn’t really a question, but a statement, but it still made him happy, his anger has disappeared, after all he had to give it to the kid, he was smart and he was about to become his saint, and he would probably be a good one as well.

Inferno nodded.

Day[what do you mean gods cant die, and what does it mean to become a saint]

Inferno was smiling even more , this kid once again asked the important questions right of the bat, now here he could lie if he wished as it didnt brake any rules, but he still decided to speak the truth.

Inferno [Well first I shouldn’t be telling a mortal this, but its not forbidden and I like you so I will tell you, gods can and cant die, we have something that is called a spiritual body, our bodies are not physical as those the beings in the lower realm have, we don’t have race, gender, or anything like that, even the body I have now is one that I made to my liking, even if its completely destroid it would only harm me lightly, in way it’s the same as what clothes are for you, even if someone rip them of your body you would be only slightly harmed, the real body is the spiritual one and that spiritual body is truly immortal, even if it is completely destroyed as long as there is fire in this world I would be reborn infinitely, but even if the reborn being is “me” my memories and experiences wont be there so this ego which makes me the current “me” wont be there, its like how you and your brother look the same but are completely different, it would be my body but in a way with completely new ego, do you understand I will no longer be me but a completely new existance who is technically me, so this “me” currently speaking to you would be dead]

Day nodded, he pretty much got the idea, and he wanted the second question to be aswered more anyway, he wanted to know this info only for worst case scenario.

Inferno[ok I knew you were smart, as for the saint its pretty simple I would just give you a bit of my power and you would become the saint of a fire god]

Day looked doubtful, this couldn’t be it, Night might not know but there were too few saints for the process to be that simple, and his instincts which unlike those of Night told him when someone was laying were going off.

Day [you are missing something right, it cant be that simple if that was the case every God would have a saint wouldn’t they]

Inferno frowned, he knew this kid was sharp, but that was taking it a step further, he planned to tell him after the deed was done but it didn’t look like it would happen as he wanted it, so he spat the beans.

Inferno[well, you think too much, gods just don’t like to have saints, and only those who are compatible with the gods can receive their power, but I can tell you that we are compatible, even John told me so, and he cant be wrong as well]

Day really couldn’t understand why everyone was so concerned with this John, and he knew that there was something still missing but he knew he needed to do it anyway cause of the pact so he agreed, after all Inferno wasn’t laying when he said that he planned to make him a saint, and all saints had it easy so it was a really good deal anyway, so he decided to let inferno of the hook this time.

Ten minutes had passed and a strong noise was heard from a cell, the three people who were at the front of the corridor waiting for Inferno to call them quickly ran to see what had happened, but when they arrived they saw something that made them feel confused.

Inferno had crashed in front of a wall which had a hole made in it like something had thrown him in it whit a huge might, and the boy who was 11 couldn’t be seen anywhere, instead a seventeen year old looking boy, with a long crimson hair, which was down to his neck but was now floating behind him could be seen, his eyes looked like a red sun with a bid of gold in it, the boy was floating in the air and looked like his body was in the middle of a fire, he was wearing clothes that looked like they were made of different flames, with a red cristal with a flame inside, sitting comfortably in the middle of his chest, in his hand a beautiful blood red two handed battle axe could be seen, the blade looked like it was fire coming from the handle and behind him sever arrows were floating .

Hades and Tom couldn’t figure out what was going on, but the one most confused was in fact Night

Night looked at the person floating mid air,surrounded by flames with confusion.

Night “Brother, what happened to you”

But Day didn’t know as well, he had never seen a saint like this, so he looked at the person who had a green all over his face, who was currently sitting in front of the broken wall with a curiosity in his eyes.

Inferno proudly said, continuing to raise his tone as he spoke

Inferno[Congrats, you are not a saint ,YOU ARE A FIRE PRINCE, THE FIRT SINCE THE CREATION OF THIS WORLD]
