[b][H2][Center][color=steelblue]Henry Pearl Avaritia The 2nd[/color][/center][/H2][/b] [@The 42nd Gecko] Henry woke up to the sight of his 3 hellhounds surrounding him, tails wagging and panting in excitement after seeing their master for the first time in a month. Henry scratched Brutus' chest, the biggest one with the most scars, and as if a switch had been flipped they dogpiled him and smothered him with slobbery kisses. [Color=steelblue]"All right, all right, stop! I missed you too!"[/color] Henry pushed them off and he stood up, pulling a towel out of a portal to wipe off remaining drool. Henry went about checking the castle, making sure everything was in place as it should be. Which wasn't too hard considering there was no decoration whatsoever, no furniture, the only room with anything was a room off to the side which housed 3 doghouses and various bowls, bags of food and toys. Henry returned to the throne room and summoned his throne, sitting down with his hellhounds following him and sitting next to him. He looked at his watch and then looked at the entrance of the throne room, seeing a small imp, clearly scared of him, with a scroll in its hand. Oh dear, fear is never good. Henry sighed and motioned for it to bring the scroll to him. The imp quickly complied and Henry read the scroll, his features slowly growing more and more angry as he finished. [Color=steelblue]"Do you believe in don't shoot the messenger? I don't."[/color] As he finished his statement he snapped his fingers and the pointed at the imp, the hellhounds suddenly stood up and began to growl. The imp helped and started to turn around, but it was too late. The hounds had pounced on him and were working on ripping him apart, limb from limb. A few minutes later they were gnawing on the remains as a part of their lunch. Henry meanwhile was working on sending messages to several subordinates, asking them how they could've fucked up so royally. It was infuriating, so infuriating he almost didn't notice some demons entering the castle with his captive. They entered the throne room and he looked up from his scroll at Miyu, who was tied up with very strong rope and still had his choker on, protecting her from demonic corruption. The other demons backed away after untying her and started to turn around. [Color=steelblue]"Hold on! Take this message to Victoire."[/color] Henry tossed a scroll to one of the demons and they caught it clumsily, immediately running away afterwards. Henry pet Angela's head, the sole female of the group and middle child, and hummed in satisfaction. They may have lost the battle, but the war was far from lost. [Color=steelblue]"Are you awake? I don't care either way actually, I'm going to vent now. Your former allies won, my prize was taken from me by the angels, the Leviathan was killed and I wanted it as a pet, I had to blow myself up to avoid capture, and I forgot to pick up this rifle I left on the battlefield! Very aggravating!"[/color] Henry yelled as the hellhounds perked up their ears and stared at Miyu.
