Vampire King Apollyon
*******************************
Xerxes had pulled each of the paintings from the large sack which Apollyon had witnessed him carry around the forest.
"We know what we are looking for, but we didn't know the exact location of the Garden of the Four Seasons. Unfortunately, the Summer Faeries don't have much useful information we could gather about it. It had existed way before the Faerie Realm was divided into Four Realms, and that was long ago when the Summer Monarchs weren't born yet in this world."
Saying the words out loud made him see the gravity of the situation. This mythical garden is going to be hard. Yet, there was no sense in complaining.
They need to figure out how to get around this problem.
"If the Goddess Hecate hadn't informed us of its existence, I would have assumed that King Oberon and Queen Titania were just telling us an ancient legend," Apollyon told Xerxes as he assisted the shapeshifter as he carefully laid them out on the ground far to their bonfire but just close enough for the flames to shine a light on the images.
It would be disastrous to let them burn since these paintings will also help them uncover the secrets of the Heavens.
The Summer Monarchs recounted that this mythical garden was heavily guarded by the strongest cherubims—the same angels who hid the Ark of the Covenant from the unseen evil forces—while angels, gods and goddesses used to protect the creatures on this Earth.
Xerxes agreed in silence as he proceeded to each corner and flattened the curled edges of the parchment with his hands.
His wife straightened her dark blue skirts to get up and leave her comfortable seat at the bonfire, but Apollyon paused.
Holding a large canvas in his hands, Apollyon scowled when his beloved strode towards him. Confused, she halted in her tracks and raised an eyebrow in question.
He gestured his chin towards Princess Sapphire, who fidgeted in her position once Luna's Archdemon Familiars laid their eyes on his tensed half-sister.
The Summer Princess brought her knees closer to cover her round face as if the strangers' gaze on her made her vulnerable.
She cleared her throat.
She gave the Archdemons across her a long glance and asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Ravin flashed him a cold smile which matched his deep golden eyes, "You were the one who is staring at us, little girl. But, of course, we are just staring right back."
"Haven't you heard about us in the Summer Courts?" Sloth blinked slowly and stared into space.
Apollyon could tell that the Archdemon had reached his limit from all the pursuits he had done today.
His wife had mentioned that Sloth loved to sleep since he easily gets tired from spending his energy too much.
"You have seen what happened earlier." Sloth added, "I had a notorious reputation."
"I believe you." Princess Sapphire's tone was sarcastic. "You are sought after by the Summer Militia."
"We have heard, alright, but we weren't there at the colloseum to witness the infamous duel." Xerxes responded as frown lines marred his forehead, "The Princess was occupied with--"
"I have watched over this boy at the infirmary." She pointed at Xerxes, whose cheekbones had turned red.
"That's a young man, little girl." Sloth squinted at Xerxes before returning his gaze to Princess Sapphire, not knowing that Xerxes was her werewolf guardian, "Do you want me to kill him? You are too young to have a lover."
Apollyon snorted.
Sloth was looking for excuses to kill someone.
"--and I am too young to kick your behind. " Princess Sapphire retorted with a determined look on her face. His half-sister had no idea she was threatening an Archdemon." We aren't properly introduced, and I can feel that I don't like the two of you already."
"Princess Sapphire. You should stop telling them that, or they will dedicate their lives to make your worst nightmares come true." Luna warned.
"I am the Empress' second during the duel with your..." Sloth trailed off as he peered at her beneath his long eyelashes, "Is Princess Ourania your mother, then?"
"Yes."
"I made her immobile for the rest of your life." He informed her with scary politeness, which made Princess Sapphire shiver as if she had caught a chill in her spine despite the warmth of the bonfire, "If you are not careful around me, you will be next."
"Sloth." Luna folded her arms, "Stop threatening Apollyon's sister and come help my husband with the paintings!"
The blond bastard had the nerve to whine, "Your champion is tired and desired to sleep, Empress."
"No sleep for you as punishment for your mischief, you lazy devil." Luna returned to her seat just as Apollyon intended her to do. Let her Archdemon Familiars do the work since she was pregnant. "Ravin, you too. You must help Xerxes and my husband to decipher the paintings. We need all the brains we can get. I will accompany Princess Sapphire instead of the both of you."
The Archdemon of Sloth slowly dragged his lethargic feet as he stood beside him while the Archdemon of Gluttony accompanied Xerxes.
They had this silent agreement to stay as far away from each other, and he approved of it.
The four of them glanced down and observed the paintings.
Xerxes positioned a torch above them so that everyone could see each detail and pigment clearly.
Apollyon pursed his lips in thought.
Only one of all the paintings was placed on a wooden panel, and it was heavier and older than the rest.
It had shown cracking and warping on the wooden surface and the paint itself, which made him conclude that termites might have ruined it from the inside.
Not even Fae Magic could seal the paintings and protect them from damage.
Nevertheless, he was optimistic that this particular painting exposed to the weather and insects would not be destroyed as long as they gave this panel special attention.
