Well, this party just got interesting.

Not, only to celebrate Bael birthday but also another reason. King Orlok son was actually here. The only King out the other Goetia to have a child. A high possibility his son will have his seat one day. The one many from the families sent marriage propositions. Many at the party had their minds winding up and thinking fast. Too approach the young prince soon. Get ready. Be in charge. Take command interact!

Only for the prince to just teleport in panic and now a father panicking.

"WHERE MY SON?!"

"Dammit Orlok he teleported in the maze. "Another King by his side and pointed at the direction. The only reason figuring it out was a hint of magic that was set off in the direction.

"Oh...PAIMON!"

Many servants and demons fly in the air as the King charge at the opening in the maze. 

Well, you've got to give it to the old bird. He really does care for his child. The same one who wanted their child to get married and have a few possible relationships.

Will be very tricky.

It also gave many others there the same idea. Competition in family's eyes.

"Get in there!"

"Move, move!"

"Whoever sees them first has dibs!"

"Hey I can't walk in this!"

"Move it weakling!"

"Charis what you just standing there for!"

"I do not want to get run over Aunty." Charis is standing there with Darya gapping, while her Aunt comes over. Twitch seeing those bullies get in as well.

"So, that was Prince Paimon."

"Mhmm I was surprised too."

"He looks startled." Daryla looks back at the maze as well. Crown lower down further. He looks back over to his family. Gulp at the look his uncle was sending them.

Get in that maze now and hunt!

"So, your family as well sent a letter?"

Stare at the swan and nod a little. Sees how her aunt sending him a look. Gulp at the critical look. "Yeah. Yeah, my  Uncle and Mom did. I didn't find out till later."

"What a small world same here." Glance back at her aunt who just whistled innocently and then looked back at the other. Mind started to form a plan. A crazy and risky one. But one that might be able to help out in the run. "Hmm want to make a truce?"

"Wha?"

"Charis?!"

"Aunty The Prince, father did clearly say open to genders. Did they not? So, why not a truce with another potential spouse." Charis looks at her Aunt and smiled.

Her Aunt stared at her, back at the other, and soon at her. "Fine. At least this one seems to not back talk."

"Hey!" Cower at the intense look.

"Aunty enough. Why don't you go distract the others families while we do our thing."

"Fine. Better hear you at least talk to him."

"Yes, yes my dear Aunty." Wave goodbye at her as she walks to the other families. A small sigh and glance at the other. "I apologize about her."

"It's fine." Rub his arm a little. "Were you just saying that to her or being for real?"

"A bit of both."

"So, you don't mind um sharing? If we do get pick?"

"I don't mind but I do want to make sure. No, future headaches or problems. If I were to be picked." Look out at the maze and back at him. "Plus, you might be a bit of fresh air he might possible need too."

"Eh?"

Place the umbrella down and touch his shoulder. "If we work together. We try to make sure it is two of us. Deal?"

Stare a long time at her. "Half-deal. I still want to talk further about this. If we um both somehow get picked."

"Smart and deal." She smiles. "Are you afraid of heights and being thrown?"

"So, far, no? Why?" Gulp at the smile.

"Because I'm going to make sure you reach him first? I think I have a idea where he teleported."

"But he in there!" Point at the maze.

"Then hopefully you get their closer and then ill join you."

"How are yoUUUUUUUUU AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"You got this!"

Many gapped seeing the taller lady avian throw the smaller avian into the maze. No, shame at all. The swan picked up her umbrella and started to run in. Didn't see another begin to follow her too.

Paimon sighs as he sits down against the fountain.

The spot he was in has this fountain. Didn't bother to look at the design too much. He picked up how the water smelled very fruit and held a yellow shine. Besides that, just stayed there and hit himself. Great job owl boy. Just made a fool right there. At least they are not going to be foolish alone when they hear their father yelling in the distance.

So, will just stay here to gather their thoughts.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Were they hearing screams or the voices in their head?

Daryla closed his eyes seeing that the first thing they were going to hit was a fountain. Great either this will kill me or the one who own the fountain! Close his eyes to the upcoming pain. While mentally cursing out Charis for this ridiculous plan and agreeing to it. Did it count for agreement? Who cares right now besides the pain that will happen?

"You can stop screaming?"

Eh?

Open their eyes to notice they didn't hit the fountain at all. I mean very close to impacting it but nothing has happened. Very confused about what is going on? Why they didn't hit it. Then notice the owl sitting against the fountain looking up at them.

Paimon.

Gap seeing the owl closer now compared to before. He was not what he was expecting but not in a bad way! He looks calm if a bit confused right now. His hand was out and covered in a mix of magic.

Wait. Magic.

Look down at themselves to be surrounded by the color of magic. Then to be moved to be placed down on the ground. Blink as he stared at the owl in different emotions.

"Thank you for um catching me. I um." Shit. Shit. Shit! What should he do? What should he say? What can he do?! He talked to Paimon first compared to everyone else. "Hi."

Paimon raised an eyebrow at him.

Hi. Of all the blasted things you can say first. You didn't even bow to him. Or address him properly.

"At least you're not doing that royal etiquette thing."

Never mind, do not bow! Cower but not bow.  No, bowing! "I um your um welcome Prince Paimon?"

"Paimon."

Don't say Prince either! Holy shit, he was already stressed out!

"You good there Twinkles?"

Twinkles?

Blink in confusion. "Twinkles?"

Point at them. "Your head twinkling."

Turn around to look at the fountain to see their reflection in the water. Yep, there crescents were glowing right now. Magic mixed with his emotions can do that sometimes. It does give it that look. Glance back at Paimon who is no longer looking at them but the ground. A small breath to get him ready. "I'm Daryla."

"Twinkles."

Why do they have this odd feeling that they are just going to stick to them. At least not the worst thing they were called. Were they given a nickname already?  Took a step forward but stopped to notice the eyes narrowed a bit. Would he actually do that again? Just teleport away. He decided to just sit on the ground.

Total silence between them.

"You're um the Kin-I mean father searching for you in here."

A small grunt with an eye roll.

"Same with many others."

"Yippee." Sarcasm noted.

"Your um doesn't like that?"

"I'm not the social type."

"Same." Sees them give them a look over. Rub their arm a bit. "I can be when I get used to another or if it something I like to do. These kinds of events are not my thing. No, offense."

"Why would I be offended?"

"You're um father rank with the other king. Don't want to disrespect you know." Sees them just shrugged.

"Not really. There not my Kings."

"Um what?" Blink in confusion and worry. "Isn't that dangerous to speak like that?"

"Possibly but I stop carrying about titles."

This is not what he expected to hear from another Goetia. One that a child from the highest rank. He really didn't seem to care at all. "What about your father?"

Frown and think it over. "For him it's different."

"What about King Asmodeus?"

"Who?"

HEADSHOT!

"GAH THAT LITTLE SHIT DOING IT AGAIN!"

"My lord, are you okay?"

"NO, WHERE THAT OWL! IM GOING TO THROW A PICTURE BOOK AT HIM!"

Back in the garden.

Daryla chuckles a bit.

"What so funny?"

"Forgive me but you're so funny." Daryla really thinks it was a joke. They should have seen the confusion on their face but it soon just left.

"Whatever you say Twinkles." Let it pass. Even if comments like that shouldn't phase them too much.

"There you are!"

Both turn to see the other's arrival.

"Charis." Daryla blinked and then eyes narrowed. His arms crossed with his crown raised a little high up. "Could have warned me that you were going to throw me! I almost hit the fountain if it wasn't for Paimon saving me in time."

Charis smiled but then dropped with a small wince. "Apologies for that. I um didn't think that ahead in time."

A small grumble but then relax. "We can talk later. Paimon this is Charis."

Charis raises an eyebrow at the lack of titles being added in. But she decided to play along as Paimon showed no negative reaction to not being called Prince. She at least bows a bit. "Hello."

"Nice Umbrella Mary Poppins."

She doesn't know whether to be insulted or not. Blink in confusion and repeated the name. "Mary Poppins?"

"How you get here faster?" Daryla asked.

"I put a small tracking spell on you. Which lead me to you."

"Oh."

"Mhmm and nobody followed me."

"What about that one Poppins?"

"Huh?" Sees them both not staring at her. But like someone behind her. She turns around to the taller avian. Surprise and then let out a sign. "Duke. Never expected you as a follower?"

He just stares down at her letting loose a small click. Then glance over at the other two. Well, one specific.

"Your buddies?" Paimon glanced at the pigeon.

"I mean um me kind of befriended Charis today. That one no." Daryla looks over. Gulp at the seriousness radiating off the Duke. Charis mentions this guy around their age. He is taller than half those adults out there! Is he still going to keep growing? Shake a bit and want to get behind Paimon.

"Got something to say to Gargoyle?"

Almost lost his footing and trip. Their eyes widen slightly at what he just called them.

"Hahaha! Oh, that funny."

Sees a tall emu come out from behind and smile big. Waves at them all. "Hello Prince Paimon, Lady Charis and lookie here you must be Sir Daryla!"

"Bob." Paimon stared at them with a bored look. "I thought I buried you?"

"I dig myself out!"

"Should have dug deeper hole."

"Miss you too. Look at you. Slouching like a commoner. That's not good for your back." Wave a finger at them.

"Since when do I care about my heath?"

"Any who." Look at the area. The eyepatch demon hums. Began to whisper along with point at the three.

"Um what going on?" Daryla confused. Paimon looked like he was barely paying attention at all. While Charis walks on over and sits down on the fountain.

"No, clue." Charis shrugs as she glances down at the horn owl. Her mind went to that comment they just made on their health. "This must be not what you expected to meet other members?"

"With my luck I'm not that surprised to get that end of the deal."

Charis, Daryla looks at the other. Not sure what to say about that. Let alone how to continue. Besides maybe asked questions.

"All right everyone we have a great idea."

Never mind questions for later.

"As we all know. Paimon here got to get hitched in a few years."

"Where a shovel?"

"Wait, wait. Just hear me out." Bob waves his hands around as he chuckles. "This could be favorable for all four of us."

"There five here."

"I don't count as a candidate." Push Delroy over to stand by the fountain. Walk back over in front of the four and smile bigger. "Now Paimon here an idea I just asked you to listen. Can lessen so many headaches. Same with you two as well to have an open mind."

"I'm laughing on the inside of that ridiculous statement." Arms crossed. Charis, Darya are a bit confused. While Delroy stood there and listened.

"How about you allow these three. Just these three to court you?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Paimon glanced at all three of them. Eyes narrowed and I started to stand up. "Of course that's what it all about."

"Just hear him out." Delroy finally spoke. He stares at the half-rising owl. "You're not the only one trapped into this. We can at least make this tolerable. I'm willing to do this. Even if it means I have to learn to handle the back up."

"Were right here." Charis sends him a look. Daryla headed down a bit not wanting to be given another look from Paimon. She then looked at Paimon and frowned. "It's going to get worse with other wanting to interact and get your attention for your hand."

"And you don't?"

"It's my duty but with this situation it's a little different."

Paimon looked at the three still with this distrusting look. Until he looks back at the emu. Arms crossed as he sits back down. "There are rules."

"Why of course! One that your favorite. Number one importance. Listen."

One hours listening.

"Come again?" King Orlok stares wide at his son. Finally, they found him. Really, he found him as he starts to get lost on this crazy maze. As he stared at his son but the others behind him.

Paimon grumble with their arms crossed. Daryla head down while trembling. Charis smiled while clutching her umbrella tightly. Delroy standing still but his eyes looking away from his gaze. Bob whistling away.

"Twinkles, Mary Poppins, and Gargoyle folks sent letters." Didn't turn around to see two of the three horrid reactions. While another let out a groan. "I'm picking them for now to at least be courted. If they can deal with my ass and not being asses either. Then you can stay. Everyone happy and can get off my tail feathers about marriage."

"What if someone catches your interest and wants to be given a chance?" Orlok points out.

"All four of us will talk about it if such a thing occurred. But as of now I'm only being courted by these three. So, no more letters."

"What about Bob?"

"I'm just here to help out your majesty." Bob bows at him and smiles. "Less tension for him the better. For all of them really to find a future spouse and the pressure. Plus, your son seems to hmmm mind their company. They all agreed to this. If it doesn't work out. At least they can all work together in the future for the Goetia families. Strong ties. Rules to follow. Rules your son will tell you."

The three freezes as the vulture walks over to them and approaches them. He was the tallest out of all of them and it brought a bit of a extra intimidation. Began to circle around each of them. Daryla felt stiff as a bore. Charis tries to keep calm as possible. Delroy stays on his ground but if you notice his feathers they try to stand up.

This was still a Goetia King.

"I will want a word with each of you. Tell, your families I will have a word with them later of this testing development for now." Eyes very serious as he stares down at all of them.

"You done deciding if you want to eat them or not?"

"I agreed with these three."

They were all ready to faint.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  ~ ~

Done!

We got to see another part of this continuation! Will there be others to join in? Who knows? All we know these three are so far lucky. Let's see this luck can help them out at the end to handle someone like Paimon.

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye
