"Bissshhhh!?"

Rhal yelled throughout the castle, looking for his one and only wife. He investigated 'each' room thoroughly, Until he stumbled upon the magic room..."...Bish?" He could notice slight magic, even a fool like Rhal could notice the obvious use. Only Grandma should have access to this place, wouldn't it be considered dangerous to use magic right now-?

Upon further total good investigation, he managed to somehow trigger a reaction and get pulled into some glowing hole.

He was spit out onto rough floor material that was grey, Not only that bud the air seemed ... different and the heat was unbeatable.

He gasped and wheezed for air on the floor there, until he passed out. And coincidentally, A cyan girl passing by noticed.

Lorelai was on her way home from Ava's when she took a short cut, ultimately getting jump scared by a big guy on the floor, basically dying. He was wearing clothing similar to the boys ava hangs out with too so . . Wait. He's on the floor, unconscious!

"Oh my gosh!" Lorelai rushed over, And knelt beside him shaking him. "Sir! Are you okay?! Don't be dead!" She panicked, reasonably! The stranger groaned as he sat up and stared at Lorelai. "Oh my gosh! Are you alright?! You were knocked out when I found you!" She stood up, "is... everything okay, sir?" She took a step back, confused. He had a shocked and confused expression himself so...did she do something wrong? "You're a-! But- aren't all humans supposed to be dead or something?!" The stranger stood up, too shocked to actually do anything.

"...I'm sorry, huh?"

Rhal immediately looked around- the sky is Pierce and bish colored. Every building is hard and gray. The heat here is almost unbearable. the oxygen is so much more...

"THIS ISNT DAEMOS! WHERE AM I?! WHO ARE YOU, HUMAN?!"

rhal isn't an idiot, he can see he's outmatched by the passing by humans EVERYWHERE! Nor does he have his weapon and the king would have his head if he learned Rhal used his magic.

"Woah! Woah! Calm down-! Are you okay, sir??" There was a more bish colored shaded girl Infront of him. "...Who are you, Name yourself, Human!" He demanded, does he even have power here?! Where's his wife?!

"My names Lorelai-? Hey, you're dressed like Ava's friends! Do you know them?" The Lorelai girl smiled like everything is fine. E ERYTHING IS NTO FINEA KAWHABEJHEWHEGWR AM IRVW Q

(Ahem)

"...Who's this Ava?"

"Oh, she's like my best friend, she has these super hot guy friends too! Their names are like, Noi, Leif, Rhys, And uh-...Pierce-"

"...Pierce? What-?!"

"Oh, there's one more...Asch! That's it-!"

Now Rhal knew that was HIS Asch and Pierce.

"...MY BABY BROTHER AND GENERAL ARE HERE?!"

"Huh?"

"Asch is HERE?!"

"Well- he's not here here, but he's with ava! She's probably asleep right now, But I can take you to them tomorrow!"

"...You won't try killing me right."

"...Huh? What?! No! I would never! Your like- my new friend!"

"What's a friend? But, okay, I trust you."

Lorelai just ended up learning about Daemos on the walk to her house and talked with Rhal.

"So...Who's ava? Why does she have Asch and Pierce?" Rhal watched Lorelai make some 'pizza' or whatever she called them.

"Well, Ava told me they were her like online friends from another country! Did your brother not tell you he moved here or something?" Lorelai sprinkled pepperonis on one side of the circle pie but not pie.

"...Move? No, He can't move here- he still has to-" Rhal was about to ramble about the entire magic crisis and how his father, the king, was gonna-

Ringadingalinga

The oven went off

"Hm? Oh, Sorry about that! That was just the oven saying it's at the right heat!" lorelai smiled, and checked the pizza, she sighed in false disappointment. "Not done, have you ever had pizza before-uh...What's your name?" Lorelai closed the oven door and. Turned back to Rhal.

"...Prince Rhal, I-"

"Oh! Wait...Is Daemos like an actual country and not some weird roleplay thing-?" Lorelai curiously asked, now maybe catching on that Daemos isn't some fandom thing.

"...a what? What's a roleplay?" Rhal watched Lorelai go to her laptop and open it up, lifting the lid she powered it on, pulling Google up and searching Daemos up. "Huh? There's nothing about it?"

"Really? Didn't you say earlier this te-k-know-log-ee knew everything?" Rhal looked over her shoulder, and stared at the bright screen that had the words 'no results, try again'.

"It should have every answer- unless you're like from another world or something, haha-"

"...Wait...That portal-...I left my realm?!" Rhal started panicking, HOW DOES HE GO BACK TO HIS WIFE?!

The pizza Eventually finished in the oven and Lorelai yapped about earth and everything in the city, "and- Ava's dad actually is running for mayor again this year-!" Rhal listened intently, Asch was being housed by a mayor's daughter? What's a mayor anyways? It sounds so boring.

"What's a mayor?" Rhal took another bite of his pizza, it's actually pretty good...He should ask for more when he returns to earth for Lady Bish, she should like it right? "Well, a mayor is like the person in charge of the city! Ava's dad is super chill and I'm voting for him again, He's been mayor for a really long time!" Lorelai smiled as she talked about this mayor guy, and her voice got higher Everytime she mentioned Ava.

"So, this ava claims my brother is her friend and she's sheltering him?" Rhal turned the topic back to Asch. "You guys have a really weird way of talking, Is English like a second language?" Lorelai questioned as she picked a pepperoni off of a pizza still on the rack.

"...No, It is not-!" Rhal felt himself getting defensive about his way of speech, it's her who speaks so...oddly! "Might be a difference in like- Grammer usage then, haha...Oh, by the way, is the land and like sky different on daemos? You were unconscious when I found you and we've already established your not from here!" Lorelai waved her hand for emphasis on a few words.

"maybe so..."

"so, this is my extra bedroom! Uh- It was meant for my ex boyfriend but we broke up before...he could move in..." Lorelai frowned as she thought about Steve, but quickly snapped back to Rhal. "Anyways! You can stay here for the night! I'll take you to Ava's in the morning, And you can figure out why your bro and friend is there-!" Lorelai clapped her hands together and smiled.

"I guess so...But, what is a friend? Your refer to Pierce a lot like that when talking about my relation to him??" Rhal asked, though he's not considered... intellectual...back home, it's still daemos's era of speaking ways. "Well- what else could he be? A friend is someone who's by you all the time and always there!" Lorelai announced, though she yawned after a moment, "I'm getting super tired now...I'll see ya in the morning, Rhal, Night-!" She walked away going to her room and closing her door, stumbling back and falling onto her bed with a sigh.

Rhal walked into the room, closing the door behind him he sat down on the beds edge to think...A friend...Pierce? Was that what they had? He could've sworn it was a bit closer to him and Bish...but maybe they were just really close and good friends...?

(Past Pierce x Rhal, my favorite barely known ship with basically only me as a common poster 💔)

Nevermind that, Why did Asch go to a realm inhabited by humans? Why go through all this trouble? It's unlikely their father, the king, would even care...even feel like it's a reason to not sacrifice him...

Nevertheless, why take Pierce with him? Why claim he's on a trip? Why not just say that he has a possible solution? And why was it taking so long...?

rhal woke up that morning, still feeling troubled. When he left the room, he bumped into the door, then the doorway, so he just ripped the door off the hinges and threw it. "FORGET THIS THING- uh-..."

Lorelai was standing in the kitchen, dipping bread into eggs. "Rhal-? Is everything fine?" She Asked, concerned. He just huffed and went to stand by her. "What are you doing? Dipping bread into toast...?" He pointed to the bowl of eggs and bread. "Wasting food?" He questioned, unsure why someone could be doing that.

"No, I'm making French toast" she said, placing the egg soaked bread onto a pan. "Do you want some?" Rhal watched as she started cooking the bread. "What's a french?" "A person from France!" "France?" "A country, silly!" "...So...why is the bread French?" "Just is!"

They ate breakfast and now their walking around a thrift store for normal clothes for Rhal.

Yeah

Lorelai held up a black shirt and dark red jacket, "I think something like this can do! What did you find?" She asked, walking over to Rhal. "These clothes...are much like a commoners. Humans here...wear these...everyday?" He asked, looking around and suddenly feeling self conscious. "Yeah, so I'm guessing the cosplays were just normal daemos clothing stuff? Wow, you guys have really cool styles!" Lorelai grabbed some shoes and gave them to Rhal. "Can these fit you?" Rhal looked at the shoes given to him and squinted, "maybe, they look like they can..."

lorelai had finally taken Rhal to the apartment of Ava.

"So, This is where My Brother and Pierce are?" Rhal asked, following Lorelai up the stairs. "Yep! I'm her best friend, And I'm so excited! I mean, She barely hangs out with me- dooesssss Pierce hang out with you?" Rhal raised an eyebrow. "Why would we hang ...? He has no desire to inflict death upon himself as far as I know." Lorelai just paused before laughing, "no! I mean like do you guys ever just uh-...hmm...Like, do you ever meet up and...talk? Or go places?" Lorelai asked, finally finding her words. Rhal thought about it. "...Humans have ... strange language...but Pierce always was by my side. He was my General and a guard after all." Rhal looked outside of the window as they stood outside the door. "Yeah, but like out of work?" "Occasionally... He's always been a knight and he used too train constantly but when we did...it was..." Rhal went quiet.

Lorelai dropped the subject and knocked on the door. The door opened and a short girl with black hair and pink eyes stood Infront of them. "...Lorelai...? Why are you back ...who's that??"
This must be ava then...
"Avaaaaa!!! Hi, girlie! So, where are the boys? I need to show them this guy I found!" Lorelai excitedly said. Ava went pale, "W-well I don't think -"
"Haha, Ava? Who are you talking to-?" Noi's bitch ass spawned behind her and ruined her excuse. Noi looked at rhal and just ran.
Rhal's first instinct? Chase after him.

Rhal pushed past Ava and grabbed noi. "YOU! YOU'RE MY BABY BROTHER'S GUARD! WHERE IS HE?! WHERE IS ASCH-?!" He angrily yelled until he looked up and immediately spotted Asch. "...RHAL?!" Asch took a step back ...how could rhal have possibly..."BABY BROTHER!" Rhal ran over and hugged Asch strongly. "Why did you come here?!" He asked, As h just stared in shock. "How did you...RHAL, HOW ARE YOU HERE?!" Asch yelled at rhal. "I don't know, brother...I just...'' rhal went quiet as he looked up and noticed pierce staring from the couch. "...Prince Rhal...?" Pierce asked, almost as shocked as Asch.

Rhal let go of Asch slowly. Pierce stood up and Rhal tackled him to the ground. "PIERCE!!!" Pierce was knocked down to the ground by the Greater Heir, falling as Rhal sat on him. "I've missed you greatly, General!" He said, a bit too excited for this to seem strictly platonic.

"Prince rhal-?" Pierce pushed rhal off of him and got up. Asch grabbed Rhal's arm. "What are you doing here?! And how the fuck did you find Princess Ava's friend?!'' Asch harshly whispered. Though, Ava overheard anyways. "WHERE DID YOU LEARN THAT?!" she yelled, rhal looked at Asch in confusion. "I tripped and there was a glowy light, then I woke up on some weird grey stuff. Then Lorelai provided me shelter and offered to bring me here-...also what does fuck mean-?" Rhys cleared his throat, getting Rhal's attention. "Prince rhal, I apologize for intruding on the conversation, however, We're here on important matters concerning Daemos' future..." "And the word fuck?" "...Princess Ava had told us to not use such words as they are considered...vile." that made rhal immediately look at Asch. "You're saying bad words now?!"
