"We possess the ability to bring fire to life and to bring it death"
The black haired King with the golden grown on top of his head walks into the dungeon to the nearest cell. Where two men stand. A smirk forms on the King's face when he sees them. They go to the iron bars of the cell when they notice him walk in the dungeon. "Gentlemen, how surprising you found your way here. Too bad you will be leaving shortly" He says to them, his smirk growing as he sees how angry they are at him, then again they have the right to be angry, he locked them in a cell, but on the other hand, they did break into the Underworld and that's against the rules.
"Where is our sister!" One of them says, the anger doesn't hide from anyone, as the two men in the cell are more furious than ever. "I fear you will not be able to see young Arabella now or ever" Lucifer casually tells them, as if they were supposed to know that. Yet, the two brothers did not come all the way to Hell just to get denied. They are going to bring their sister home with them, even if it takes their lives. She does not belong in a place filled with death, however they are wrong about that. That is her rightful place.
He walks closer to the bars, careful to not get close enough for them to reach him, he doesn't want that. "Let us out of here! And let her go!" The other one yells at Lucifer. Jaxon, the younger one nearly punched the bars when he yelled at him, as the anger is just too great for him. "You're not getting it. She belongs to me. And she is the Queen of this world, my Queen, and she cannot be the Queen she's meant to be if she's with you" He says.
Trying desperately to explain to them, but he does enjoy seeing them here in the Underworld, he could use them. The two brother, Grayson and Jaxon somehow found their way into the Underworld, which should be impossible for those who have not died yet and somehow they did and he didn't detect it, even after he was told they had come here, he did not sense them and that confused but impresses him at the same time. But, he does wonder if they were able to break into the Underworld, can they break into other worlds too?
People like that can be useful to him and now that they do have something or rather someone to live for, which he can use to blackmail them with, they will do what he says. "However..." He says which does make both brothers turn to him and see him draw closer to them. "I'm willing to let you see her, without her knowing of course. We can't have her see the past she was once part of. But, only if you do something for me" Lucifer tells them and he adjusts the crown on his head before it falls down as it was going sideways.
Grayson and Jaxon do look deep in thoughts when he comes with his offer, then again there is really too much to think about this, they do have their sister at heart and want only what's best for her and that in their mind is bringing her home with them, yet that doesn't seem like an option at this point, but not seeing her is making them go insane. "What do you wish for us to do?" Jaxon asks after they had taken a couple of minutes to discuss with themselves about their options and what they should do now.

The King's smirk only grows wider, if that is even possible and the wickedness in his eyes doesn't hide from anyone. "There is a kingdom of nature which belongs to one of my brothers. All you need to do is break your way into there and then get something for me. You see, my brother stole something for me and I want it back!" Lucifer says, looking at them, and he does see that they are thinking of accepting his offer, then again he did offer them something that they can't refuse. The chance to see their sister again.
"If we get this thing for you... will be we able to see our sister?" Grayson asks the man who is the only way that stands in their way of seeing their little sister, the man that they met fifteen years ago on that awful day that she was almost burned alive. The two brothers would never admit it about loud but they will forever be grateful to Lucifer as he is the one that saved her life that day and he brought her back to them, without him she would not be breathing now.
Lucifer only nods his head, which sends the brothers into deep thinking and whispering amongst themselves, planning what they should do and what they should not do. "We can't seriously work for the Devil! We'll be selling our souls!" Jaxon says. "I know. Yet, we have no choice. This is for Arabella" Grayson says and even before they began discussing this, he had already made up his mind. However, the younger twin is still having some doubts of this whole thing. But, soon his brother does talk him out of that when he tells him something that not even Lucifer has figured out or even knows about.
They then turn back to face the cruel King. Grayson has his hands on the bars, gripping them and glares at Lucifer. "We shall accept this offer, with one condition" He says to him. Lucifer rolls his eyes, of course he had expected them to have something up their sleeves, as he has thought of everything or that is what he thinks. "Seeing her isn't enough. We need to be with her, or at least be close to her, close enough to almost touch her" He tells the man, who only looks confused but hides it well.
He hadn't excepted them to ask that, it's almost a strange request. He had expected them to ask to meet her, but then again he would've turned them down if they had asked that. "All right, we have a deal then" He says and glares at the boys in the cell. He may not like them but he will need them and he wouldn't admit it but he owns them for a lot, they raised the young Queen, the girl he fell in love with, they raised her right and she is who she is because of them. But, now she belongs to him and him only and no one is going to take her away from him.
"Then let us out so we can be near her" Jaxon says. Both of them eager to see their darling little sister. It may not have been that long, yet to the three of them, they have never been apart for more than a few hours and then suddenly they've been separated. They've been a mess without her, they want to know how she is doing. Of course, their biggest fear being her living her life happily without them for their love for her is just too strong and they could not bear that.

The iron door of the cell opens on its own and the brothers inside are now free. Gaping at the door, surprised to see how it works and how it somehow just opened on its own without any contact from anyone. The Devil only smirks at the two and how human they are, don't even understand simple magic. "Make no mistakes, fail to uphold your end of the bargain, and you shall end up here again, and this time the door shall not open. Ever!" Lucifer threatens.
He really is playing with fire, only this time he doesn't know the outcome of how far the fire will spread. The two brothers are headstrong, much like his Arabella, and they will do whatever it takes to see her, he has seen just how far they will go. Yet, he doesn't know what they will do next, he doesn't know them or their plans. Then again, he does have Hellfire on his side and magic that neither of them possess. However, no greater power is love, and the love between the three siblings is too great and it's unpredictable.
"We will do what you ask. Now take us to see our sister" Grayson says, challenging the King, as if he isn't the King, then again he's the first King he's ever met so he might not know how to act around him, but he knows that there is no way that he's going to bow down before that man. "At the moment Arabella is in the throne room giving my brothers... let's call it a discipline and you see, she's going to get angry for they have done something to her that she's not going to forgive" Lucifer explains to them.
"Arabella would never hurt someone" Jaxon says, his voice breaking at the end. The thought of their sweet, loving sister hurting someone isn't something that is comforting in their minds. "The girl you know is not the Queen that she is" Lucifer speaks, then he turns around and walks to the doors of the dungeon. "Follow me" He says, his voice always powerful, not once did he show them weakness, the weakness that could destroy him. The love he holds for Arabella is his weakness, she is his weakness and if anyone were to discover that, they might try to take her away from him and Hell would freeze over before that happens.
The brothers said nothing as they do follow him, always in awe of how beautiful the castle looks. Sure, they had been dragged through it the first time, but they saw the beauty in it. None would believe that Hell would look beautiful, more beautiful than anything on earth and even through all the red and the heat from all the flames that always appear next to the King, the place has a meaning to itself and not just because this is the Underworld, but also the owner or owners.
From the moment that Arabella stepped into the castle, it changed. Became more protective over her, as the castle is powered by the one and only Lucifer, however the castle does try to keep her safe. And it does have a mind of its own. The fact that she found the portal room on her own should not have been possible, she was somehow led there and the castle knew where to take her and it knew what it wanted. Testing the young Queen. But, it does try to keep her safe, as safe as a castle can do. She might even be able to control it, yet she does not know that.
"I'm nervous to see her" Jaxson say to his twin brother as they follow the King through the castle, keeping their distance but still staying close yet they are keeping an eye out for danger, who knows what lurks around the corner and the Underworld is filled with Demons, they saw that and they saw how hideous they look in their demon form. "I am too. She is our sister and we must remember that she has been thrust into a life she never wanted and she had to do something to survive, even if that was stepping into the role of the Queen" Grayson says to his younger brother.
"All we can hope is that she is still the same Arabella underneath all the things that she has been forced to become" He continues, before looking to his brother. "Do you really think the plan will work?" The younger one asks, but only gets a nod from his brother as an answer. "I believe so" Grayson mutters under his breath, only loud enough for Jaxon to hear him.
Jaxon's gaze is always on those little flames that light up the hallways, they somehow just appear out of no where, and then disappear, as if they were never there at all. "How do you think this is possible?" He asks Grayson after a while of just watching them as they walk the hallways, still following the King and never seem to be able to reach their destination, then again they have no idea where they are going in this castle or how big it is. But, they have notices that sometimes they see dead guards on the ground but don't question it, afraid of even knowing.
"I never told you this, but when Arabella was little, around two. It was winter and you were in the village, buying firewood to keep the house warm, but when you were gone, the last firewood had burned out and she and I were left in the cold. I always found it odd how she could never get cold while I was freezing. Then she started crying for she was afraid of the dark, I tried to comfort her, bring her comfort but she would not stop crying. Out of no where, these flames appeared. Lighting the whole house and brining joy to her" Grayson says.
"It was magical almost. I was warm and there was light. I did not understand it at all. At first I thought it was a miracle, but when she started to get curious and wanted to know what it was, she touched one of them. I thought she would get burned and hurt herself. Yet, it never came. As soon as she came in contact with them, she laughed. The glowed brighter and more and more of them appeared, but never touched anything in the house or burned anything" He continued.
"When I saw her face, it was almost as if I was seeing her become someone else. She had this look in her eyes, the look of familiarity yet curiosity. I never understood it. She started playing with them, following them around and touching each and every one of them, and as she moved, they moved with her. As of they were keeping her safe. It had been hours that I watched her play with them, and I knew nothing of what I could do, but she finally grew tired and I put her to sleep" He says, not looking at his brother, afraid of what he will say to him about this.
"Those flames stayed the night with her, keeping her safe and protected. But, the morning after they were gone and she had no memory of ever seeing them or any memory of that night. Because she didn't remember it, I thought it was all just a dream, however then you came few hours later and I realized that none of it was a dream. Everything that happened that night was real. Only I had the memory and keeping it all to myself was the only thing that I could do" He finishes, looking up to see his brother's eyes filled with disappointment.
Water forms in Grayson's eyes as he sees this look in his younger brother's eyes. "I thought we told each other everything, especially when it involves around her. I understand that her whole life things have been strange, fire acting strange around her. But, keeping something like this from me all these years is not something that I can forgive easily. I promised our mother, I swore to her that I would protect our little sister and always keep her safe. Now, it feels like I've broken that promise" Jaxon says, wiping away the tears that threaten to fall down from his eyes.
"Hate to be the one to interrupt... no wait... I'd love to interrupt, but we're here" Lucifer's voice suddenly brings the two out of their conversation and their focus on him. In this whole thing, they had forgotten all about him or the fact that he did hear it all, every last word that they said, he heard it. But, he already knew what happened that night as he was there, only hidden away, but he was there. He was always there, all those fifteen years.
Sometimes he'd be hiding in the shadows, and sometimes he'd watch from the mirror in her room. Lucifer always took time to see his love and he watched her grow from a baby to a beautiful girl, a girl that he fell in love with. "If you wish to see your sister and be close to her, I advise you to go in here. That way, we shall be in the throne room, yet she will not see us" He says again after no one says anything. They've stopped in front of a single door.
It's red, the same crimson red as the walls and if it were not for the door handle, one would think it was the wall. A hidden door. "We're ready" Grayson tells the King. The two brothers might be semi fighting, yet they would do anything to see their sister and be close to her and with the plan that they have in mind, nothing can go wrong. Yet, there is still an elephant in the air around them and there is a lot that they have to discuss with only themselves, and then there is that thing that they need to get for Lucifer as their part of the deal.
Lucifer opens the door and inside is a small room, small enough to only hold seven people at most. The room is black, the walls, the ceiling and the floor are black, almost as if he doesn't want the room to be found by anyone. However, on one wall is a small hatch that does open, and Lucifer pulls it towards himself and it opens for him. "Go in there" He tells them and they don't hesitate to do as they are told to by him.
Joy washes over them when they see her. Arabella. She's standing up, they may only see her back, but they do notice the stunning dress she wears and the crown on top of her head. "You shall get out of my kingdom and take your soldiers with you because I swear to you that they shall burn in Hellfire of they are not out of here. This is my kingdom and I am its Queen and if I say that Luna stays here she shall do so!" She yells at the two men that are also in the throne room.
Just hearing her voice overwhelms them, as they have not heard her for some time. Yet, not once have they seen her this angry, it is not like her. The flames around the room are turning blue and are as violent as ever as her anger rises, and for the first time in their lives, they fear her. "We shall not be leaving" One of the men in the room says to her, and he's clearly angry at her. The two brother's watch her closely, afraid of what she will do next. "Then you shall burn in Hellfire!" She calls out.
