I Scored Myself A Mate

Falling didn't feel that bad, the chilling breeze, the freedom and the excitement. Ea wasn't that scared actually, he had been terrified right before the fall but as his body grew weaker so did his fear. All of his strength had gone into holding Ares close and finally feeling his body touch his was an instant relief. His eyes were closed as a small smile formed on his face. He preffered death rather than having Ares die by that demon's hand. He preffered to turn into mush on the ground than see his love disappear, turn into dust. He wasn't strong like Theseus, he would simply crumble, wither away in a room and die. 

He remembered the Beta of the pack. The moment Adam had died he had already decided it. There was nothing left there for him, he couldn't move on without him. Some may found it pathetic, Ea though found it very heroic in a way, very Utopic. A love so strong, a love so rare that not even death scared it away. Maybe Ea wouldn't have to courage to take his life like he did. He would simply spent an eternity tormenting himself, reminded that he had lost everything. 

So maybe this, a nasty fall while he didn't have the strength to prevent it would be okay. If an elf took their own life they could die. It was some kind of loophole. He had never thought about it but it seemed that it would be handy. So he smiled, he heard Vines curse and he almost laughed. No matter what he wouldn't let things go his way. Infinity, that's what Ares had promised him, they could continue in the after life, if there was one for them.

Ea had been falling for a while and he knew soon would be the time to land. He braced himself, closed eyes, breath clocked in his lungs and fists gripping his husband tightly. He didn't meet his doom though, he didn't feel his skull cracking open or his limbs breaking. None of that happened. He heard a voice. 

"Fucking idiot" he said and Ea instantly realized it. Theseus. He opened his eyes and met with the general, white strands of hair were falling on his forehead and his cheeks were flushed from running. He had caught them, both of them. "Once we get home I am firing you" he said and Ea chuckled. 

"Thanks" the elf told him, thanking him for saving him when his eyes were drawn by something or more like someone. 

It was Allias. He was standing behind Theseus his eyes strict as they met with him. Ea gulped, feeling the intense stare of the king. He felt as if he was being burned. 

"We will talk when we get back" Allias said. His voice showed that he was barely keeping it together before he disappeared completely, leaving behind him a golden dust. Ea looked up, knowing that he went to face Vines and then at Theseus. 

"You won't go with him?" Ea asked. 

"Me? I would just be a burden. I have a feeling Allias wants to go all out. Wouldn't want to get turned to dust in the process" Theseus said with a silly smile as he walked towards the top of the tower. 

Allias had chosen to teleport surprising Vines with his appearance. The demon hid it quickly with a vicious smirk.

"Are they dead?" He asked.

"Of course they are not dead. Like I would let you kill any of my people." He told him and smiled. 

"You do look stunning, the stories about you were true indeed. I will be saddened to kill such an eye candy" he told him and Allias felt like he was going to throw up. Every word that came out of his lips felt twisted. 

"Well we will see who will be the one that's dying" he said and disappeared 

"Old truck your friend tried that already" Vines said and turned around meeting Allias again but this time a lot closer. He grabbed him by the neck but he didn't seem to mind. He raised his arm and hit Vines' with his elbow freeing himself easily. 

"My friend was a soldier. I am a King" he said and his palm turned gold. Vines took a few steps back knowing that he shouldn't allow Allias to touch him. He swang his tail, slapping him in the face and a small cut opened under his eye. Allias clicked his tongue and mimicking his smike he rushed forward 

He tried to kick Vines at first but he skillfully dodged everything. The demon at some point grabbed his ankle bringing him down but Allias twisted his body and found himself getting up closer to him this time. So close that he managed to punch him in the nose. Vines hissed an angered expression on his face and Allias laughed. Another punch followed and another but the third didn't land. Vines ducked and launched at him wrapping his arms aroubd his waist and bringing him to the floor. He restricted his movement and started punching him.

"What is a king with one hand going to do?" Vines asked him. 

"I wonder" Allias said in the split second that he had between the punches he received. Soon Vines felt his body grow hot, as if he had an intense fever, as if someone was trying to lit him on fire. His eyes widebed as Allias' veins seemed to shine golden.

"You can't. You're restrained. The council." He mumbled as he stood up. Allias was back on his feet immediately and walked slowly towards him. 

"I can do, whatever I want." He stated and a small beam of light appeared. It was shaped like a sharp blade and he played with it with his fingers before he shot it at Vines. The demon jumped back and watched as the floor where the light had landed caught on fire. "Oh my is that fear in your eyes?" Allias sked him and another blade of light followed. He was playing with him, the moment his mask fell and his fear showed Allias was sure,Vines was going to lose. "Not that easy now that your oponent is not weak." He said.

Vines frowned and without thinking he approached the king. Deciding that he could fight him. He punched Allias in the stomach. He had ran too fast and the king didn't manage to guard but he did return the hit with a very strong uppercut that made Vines see stars and stumble. 

Vines realized he was at a tough spot. He looked around deciding he should run when he noticed where Theseus and Ea stood with Ares. He smiled and raised his arms a thick smoke surrounding them, limiting Allias' vision. He heard footsteps get away and he knew that Vines was trying to escape. He rushed at the edge of the floor only to be met with a peculiar sight. 

Two Theseus. Both of them standing side by side. He groaned, knowing exactly what the demon was trying to do. He didn't want to leave without achieving at least some level of misery. Allias summoned his spear, holding it tightly. 

"Allias ..." Both of them said at the same time and raised their arms in the air. "It's not me you know it " they said like a very unusal vocal group. Allias didn't answer, he simply targeted at one of them. 

"My love don't!" The man he was targeting shouted but Allias was already moving his arm back ready to shoot. And he did. He hit the other Theseus. The one who didn't expect it. He obviously hit his mark, the golden spear landing exactly in the middle of his chest. Blood escaped his lips and his magic disappeared. He had hit him, he had hit the right one.

"How?" Vines asked while blood was oozing out from his lips. Allias appeared before him, a smile on his face .

"Your eyes don't worship me" he said right before the demon dropped dead.
