“So father still speaks to you.” He nods slowly. “I understand why he wouldn’t have anything to say to me, but I don’t think Sariel and his brothers deserve this treatment. Maybe Lucifer does, but not the others.”

The urge to pick up my son and take him home, but he appears busy with some dragon.

“Azrael is a stressed out nerd. Now he just looks like it,” he chuckles as he sits and then makes his husband sit. “Ignore Sariel. He’s having a fit.”

“Allegedly Azrael is the president of the underdressed club.”

Points a thumb over at sloth (also severely underdressed) waving around lightsticks and Azrael nonchalantly waving one with him.

“I can keep this Chenqing safe for you,” he nods as he takes the offered flute.

“I’ll also prepare the riverboat. Do you fancy a cruise? I’ll show you the Blood Swamp properly.”

and the abandoned them to their fates. Or at least this is what he believes

“As much as I love Sariel, it has bothered me that my son only knows his paternal uncles. He thinks the world of Azrael in particular. I haven’t figured out how THAT even happened…”

Because he doesn’t know that Azrael

“How do You feel about family?” He gives his brother a pointed look. “Ours is growing. What’s more, I think Xi Bo could still use your guidance and wisdom. I would prefer you over… him…”

He means Lucifer, of course. Ba’al is very wary of him, the archangel that led two of his brothers into war

That probably won’t end up going well for her.

Why do you say that?

Going to take ibuprofen to see if it works for demons.

Aiya! Maybe he’s hungry. I’ll make him lunch.

that alone brings me joy that I couldn’t have imagined during my time serving in Heaven. If there is to be war, I’m willing to leave it to the younger generation. I truly love being called Lao Lao more than I have ever loved being called King Ba’al.”

“So you understand when I say I have lost my taste for war?” He fills their cups again and then sips from his with a sigh of contentment afterwards.

“I started my life with no other purpose than to be an elder brother to you. I’ve done well for myself here in Hell. I’m a grandfather now, and

“That little blind angel Ren. He’s the Virtue of Kindness. Of course you know that, but,” he pauses to pour the hot tea for the two of them and then sighs. “I was so angry with Sariel for causing our son to experience that mortal trial. Even now, he’s in love with that angel…”

“That Wei Wuxian was truly a problem in more realms than one,” Ba’al shakes his head and then gestures for his brother to follow him. He takes him out to a garden, at the center of which is a large tree with big white flowers in full bloom. Underneath is a table set for tea. He beckons his
