Vampire King Apollyon

***********************

He had incredible physical strength, and it felt like he could overpower Queen Morgan's Fae Magic through sheer brute force until he was able to smash a hole with its head in the defences large enough for the rest of the Legion to pass through, leading to this energetic silent explosion.

Apollyon had to close his sensitive vampire eyes to the blinding white light.

His ears started ringing but it was actually the Fall Queen's high-pitched screams. 

Since they were relatively smaller compared to the president's berserker form, the vulture-harpy demons could enter the energetic hole the feathered dragon serpent made, attacking the Autumn Militia.

These monsters had the same size of armoured Faerie Sentinels so they can capture them easily.

Unfortunately, they caught the Fae Warriors battling  Luxen's Legion at the front lines.

Four of these demonic birds helped each other in ripping their Pegasus' wings to shreds with their beaks while their talons latched unto their helm, crushing theirvictims' heads in a single squeeze until  their skull cracked and their brain fluids and matter spill all over the visor.

As they plucked the dead Faeries out of their saddle with their claws on their heads, these monsters soared higher, dropping them to a freefall until their dead bodies splattered to the ground of the Autumn Courts.

At that point, the Autumn Militia had resorted to fighting fire with fire and will continue to fire at Luxen's Legion.

The winged dragon serpent continued to breathe purple-orange unto the Fall Courts, creating huge bonfires  against  the inner palisades that would rival the celebration of Ostara.

Yet, it didn't destroy the entirety of the Kingdom since fire had little effect on stone castles.

The dragon's breath caused forest fires, igniting flammable objec it had reached, but not to a great extent.

Apollyon had visited the lofty and fortified Castles of  the Spring and the Summer Courts but some  parts of their castle's Architecture were made of wood. 

Autumn Palace was built different.

Everything was made out of stone blocks cut with an obsessive precision. 

Their  catapult's previous attacks were cumbersome and only offered limited damage so the Fae Sentinels within the towers of the Autumn Palace had changed tactics, setting the useless boulders on fire.

Did it made a difference?

Did it disrupt their enemy lines mid flight?

The Fae warriors twisted their ropes as tightly as possible, released their arms and threw the flaming stones to the winged dragon-serpent to prevent another attempt of infiltrating the Kingdom.

The new weapons were angled and projected to hit the demon army in an arc but slightly far from the opposite side of the fortifications so as not to ruin the Fall Courts with their own artilleries.

Undeterred, Apollyon and the remaining  Faerie Knights in the front line carried on with shooting silver arrows on the vulture demons, wreaking havoc.

Queen Morgan quickly recovered from her shock, muttering the necessary Fae  incantations to cover up the holes of the dome-shaped barriers with Fae Magic while six Faerie Knights surrounded her for her own protection. 

With the help of her Cadre from the south, east and west, the barricades were stitched almost immediately after the president's successful attempt of dismantling it.

Even Apollyon couldn't believe that Luxen's president was able to penetrate through the second barrier he created.

Everyone had sighed with utmost relief after they had successfully kept the president out while Faerie Knights fought the vulture-harpy demons that had gotten inside the Fall Courts.

The war wasn't done yet. 

The fire had spread down on the woodlands below.

Autumn Fair Folk living near the forest fires were forced to evacuate from their houses to save themselves.

Just being immortal wouldn't save them from death caused by the catastrophe.

Apollyon glanced up at the dark gray clouds and felt that another storm was brewing.

As he wiped the sweat of his forehead,  he realized that he had to induce the clouds more with Fae Magic so that the fat raindrops would put out the fire, aiding the Autumn Fair folk.

The end was so close. 

At that moment, Apollyon had already decided if they had managed to survive this siege.

He was determined to find out how to kill the cursed baby in his wife's womb with magic just in case they couldn't find the fruit of the Four Seasons before her childbirth.

There was nothing magic can't do or solve.

He feared that if Luna's physical vessel turned into ashes, she would return to Hell as an Archdemon, bringing Sloth, Ravin and Lilith with her while all the Leaders in the Material Realm fought Luxen in another Great War.

Luxen will conjure Lilith back from Hell to the Realm to rule the world as  the new King and Queen with thousands of Demonic Legions and possessed living creatures at their disposal. 

Their godless tyranny would summon all the Archangels in the Heavenly Realm down to Earth to cleanse and purge all demons while Apollyon grieved alone from the loss of his mate and stuck with taking care of two babies.

Apollyon would have no Kingdom to come back to after being stripped of his title as the Vampire King by Luxen's invasion.

He hated that outcome the most and his paranoia had made him think too far into the future. 

Luxen will conjure Lilith back from Hell to the Material Realm.

To rule the world as the new King and Queen with thousands of Demonic Legions and possessed living creatures at their disposal.

It would be impossible for him to let his beloved go just like that if Moirai's prophecy of Luna's death came true. 

His mate's presence brought him unconditional joy and losing her would kill him from the inside out.

Abandoning his daughter to chase her mate in Hell would be out of the question. 

He would never be like his own mother, Princess Ourania, and father, King Gwythyr, who abandoned their child whenever it was convenient for them.

Apollyon was not a selfish father so he needed to figure out how to be an Archdemon fast while keeping his physical vessel.
