Chapter 3

Asmodeus dragged his fingertips through the bloodied water as he lounged on his throne made of dark coloured corals. Asmodeus watched passively as his guards cleared away the demon that had dared to question his son's motives. Asmodeus had to admit that the demon had a point, but to speak so boldly against Magnus was an intolerable offence.

Asmodeus pushed up out of his chair and floated over to the window of his throne room and stared down at the courtyard where his son was with the human he brought from the surface world. Edom was separated into many different parts; Asmodeus had utter and complete control over the aquatic part as he and his descendants were mer-people for a lack of a better term. Asmodeus had tolerated many of his son's whims over the centuries, he had to admit that this whim was interesting if not frustrating as he stared down at the human, the Shadowhunter of all things that were peacefully resting on the ground next to Magnus. The Prince had his tail carefully wrapped around Alec's body in a possessive, protective way and Alexander was sleeping peacefully inside of that protective circle.

Magnus had asked him to create a spell so this human could not only survive in Edom but also more importantly survive in Asmodeus' underwater kingdom. Asmodeus had been an inch away from telling Magnus that the human could drown and die for all he cared.

Asmodeus touched his bare hip with one hand, feeling the faint scars of his own now faded soul mark. His heart had about stopped when Magnus had shoved his gold marked hand in his face, showing his father that he had found his one, his soul bonded and that was why he was asking for the spell.

Asmodeus gave his son the spell in a heartbeat, he knew both love and pain from soul mates but he also knew that if he denied his son this then Magnus would do something drastic and dramatic to ensure he was with his soul mate. Asmodeus rubbed at his hip again as he watched as the human, Alexander, eyes scrunched up when Magnus dropped a kiss on his nose in a loving way Asmodeus had not seen in many centuries from his son.

Asmodeus watched as Alexander woke up fully and twisted in Magnus' arms so he could straddle the Prince and smiled angelically down at him with his non-webbed hands cupping Magnus' face, bringing it up for a kiss. Asmodeus watched as Magnus wrapped his arms around his soul mate and his tail swayed in happiness as the two bonded embraced in an embrace so full of love that Asmodeus had to look away.

Asmodeus settled back in his throne and waved away the bits of blood that were remaining from the demon previously. He would do anything for his son and his bonded one; he would protect their love if it was in his power and if that meant slaughtering every demon that dared to speak against them then so be it.
