Rumors had reached his ears, whispers that his Queen had been found. It was amazing what you could learn when you had the ability to take souls, it seemed even the demons feared losing theirs, corrupted as they might be. One such unlucky demon, a scion of the Archdemon Kasdeya, had mistakenly crossed the path of Xerxes and the beta hound had brought the precious information back to him.
Fenrir was certain that Valdis was long gone from her last location, but if he could find this Kasdeya, then perhaps he would have the key to finding his lost queen. So he sat in the back of the bar, knowing through his sources that the Archdemon once frequented this place. He wasn't looking for a fight, merely to discuss business. The King of Hounds could be civil, when he chose to be.

He never traveled alone in their domain, but those with him knew once in the bar they were to scatter and go do what they would. Moving to his usual place he sat as drinks were brought to him. He frequented enough that they knew what he wanted without him asking. His mind was still swimming with thoughts of the Queen, and what those around him were really after. He should have gone to Amos but admitting he left the holy weapon when he went up might not go over well.

Date: 2015-10-26 02:38 pm (UTC)From:"Your majesty." He greeted, wondering if news had traveled and if so, how. Amos surely wouldn't have told. None of the other Archdemons knew. "And what exactly have you heard? As it is common knowledge I do next to nothing if I do not have to." He always played up being lazy even if it was not true at all. He liked to look one way while being another. It made life more fun for him. "After all, I have not seen in chew toys around." Bad Deya.

Date: 2015-10-26 04:23 pm (UTC)From:"Of course not," he replied, "Unlike you, I do not leave my toys lying around." He sighed, "It's amazing what you can learn from the possessions of others, is it not?"
He was still smiling, knowing that Kasdeya was not an idiot and would understand what he meant.

Date: 2015-10-28 12:29 am (UTC)From:Kasdeya's whole demeanor changed as he sat up slowly. "You have Dantalion." He almost let the anger bleed through. He knew their names, he cared about those that followed him even if it wasn't exactly practical. maybe that was how he got such loyalty out of his followers.
His eyes steeled, glaring at Fenrir. "What do you expect me to tell you?"
no subject
Date: 2015-10-28 04:07 pm (UTC)From:"As I said," he replied, his sly grin never wavering, "I heard that you found something of mine and I'd love to hear about it."
How this Archdemon had been able to locate his queen was first and foremost in his mind.

Yes, twice, but he figured the bastard was in his head so he was speaking truths but leaving out bits. He was used to people reading his emotions and purpose so, he was good at masking it.

Date: 2015-10-30 10:43 pm (UTC)From:“She’s enchanting, isn’t she?” Fenrir said, smiling that roguish smile, absently running his fingers along the lip of his beer glass. “You wouldn’t be the first man to fall under her sway.” He paused, his hand ceasing its movement. “Not even the first archdemon.
“I’ll bet you think of her often, perhaps she even walks through your dreams…” He laughed darkly, then he was silent for a moment, “Tell me, has she offered you favors for keeping her location secret?” his eyes hardened for a brief instant, but then he softened, “I wouldn’t blame you if you accepted.” He took a breath, managing to look both lethal and friendly at the same time, “I would, however, be quite jealous. She is my mate after all.”

Date: 2015-11-03 02:08 am (UTC)From:"You insult my tastes, Fenrir." He teased, of course he was one of the few unkept archdemons. He didn't seem to care to be paired to anyone and his few times courting usually ended badly. His temper and pride were always his downfall. "You are wrong on that account, but humor me, what do you know?"
There was a puzzle before him and he was missing pieces maybe they could help one another. The puzzle mattered more to him at the moment than the job. "She has offered me nothing but irritation and insults. Your wife is a tricky one who leaf after I found her. She is out on winds again."

Date: 2015-11-16 06:10 pm (UTC)From:He took a long drink and then motioned the barmaid to bring him more, giving her a dazzling smile that made her giggle. He waited until his drink arrived and she had departed before returning his gaze to Kasdeya.
"Amos," he began, "Is a traitor to the demons."
Hahha he is kinda Jon Snow huh?
Date: 2015-11-20 05:14 pm (UTC)From:Daddies working"He would never. I might have believed you had it been anyone else. I Know Amos, I have known him my whole life." he doesn't believe it but... it would answer a lot of those strange questions.
no subject
Date: 2015-11-21 08:35 pm (UTC)From:Hold position. he replied, projecting his thoughts back to his beta. He might have been proud, but he was not foolish enough to face and Archdemon without backup.
So Fenrir leaned back again, completely unconcerned by the movement of Kasdeya's men and allowing that lack of concern to show on his face.
"Then you know how Amos fell?" He asked, his expression smug, "Surely someone who has known him their whole life would know such a thing, especially a trusted adviser and friend."
no subject
Date: 2015-11-27 04:19 pm (UTC)From:"I was quite young when we fell, not that it is any of your concern, but I was barely more than a boy when I fell with them. Which is to say, no I don't remember why any besides myself fell." He crossed his arms. "I do not ask questions I do not feel I need the answer to, so go on enlighten me Fenrir, if you are so all knowing."
no subject
Date: 2015-12-02 03:52 pm (UTC)From:"He fell as most men fall," He replied. "For the love of a woman who did not return his favor. It was the jealousy that got him in the end, twisting his love into lust and when it was discovered by Michael, well...I'm certain you can infer the rest."
no subject
Date: 2015-12-08 03:26 pm (UTC)From:"And pray tell, what woman would turn down the likes of a angel or demon as powerful as Amos was and is in either form? Michael is one I could care less about. Finish your tale, Fenrir."

Date: 2015-12-08 05:32 pm (UTC)From:"Her name was Meira," he said finally, "She was Michael's sister." He set the empty stein down, his expression highly amused, "Do you understand now?"
no subject
Date: 2016-01-06 05:18 pm (UTC)From:"Anyway." He looked back to Fenrir, all that smug gone, now it's business and secrets that never should have been told. "I remember that name, not much else. My time as an angel was much shorter than my time as a fallen." He explained, he was but a child when he fell and he blocks it out. "Are you saying what I think you are? If so, how the hell was that allowed to happen?"
no subject
Date: 2016-01-06 06:08 pm (UTC)From:"Allowed?" He replied, leaning back and folding his hands in his lap, "Hardly. The location of fledgling clutches is kept well hidden, but Amos and I found hers."
He grinned, this time it was a dark and unpleasant grin, "Twisting an angel's soul to darkness is apparently impossible unless darkness already exists. It was a happy accident that led to the shattering. Amos never meant to destroy Meira, but the rest of the council agreed and he played along. The dark creature Kerberos offered me the knowledge, there was a price, but I happily paid it."

Date: 2016-01-06 07:01 pm (UTC)From:Finishing of the drink he lifted a hand motioning for the poor terrified pretty demoness to bring them more drinks. She knew not to make eye contact with either. Neither looked in a playful mood.
"So, what is your intrest in her, I mean clearly you married her. But no one is stupid enough to think love. Was it a power play?" He asked curiously. "I had always just assumed your queen was a hellhound as well until I got pulled up in all of this. Yes, I know how twisting angel's works." He gave him a flat look, since he is a fallen turned Arch demon, but shouldn't she be on their side? Come on then, tell me what you learned, you've got me hook line and sinker at this point."
no subject
Date: 2016-01-06 07:33 pm (UTC)From:Fenrir fell silent, knowing that delaying an answer would put the archdemon on edge, but he waited for the woman to bring more drinks. Once refilled, Fenrir took a long swig before replying.
"I sacrificed my soul to gain unimaginable power, and then I stole her from Amos and created my pack. Being the daughter of an archangel and sister of another, she rose to power quickly. But now that great power is unstable. Valdis killed two of the pack when she fled." His eyes narrowed, an intense, but calm anger in his words, "Destroyed them completely."
"Amos would harness that power, binding her soul to him and using her to destroy us." A sigh followed and Fenrir shook his head, "Hence I am left with two options." He took another drink, "Hunt her down and kill her so a new Queen can rise, or remove the soul that has caused her to turn against the pack."
no subject
Date: 2016-01-06 08:55 pm (UTC)From:"The question is, are you willing to kill you queen just to take up another? And if Amos wants her back are you willing to face him?" He asked now starting to get an idea of this. He lifted the glass, knowing damned well not to let the idea bother him. Everyone reads private thoughts. "And, I doubt he will destroy your kind, he would rather have your lot as slaves before rugs. Use some sense in that." He rolled his eyes.
"Though, a thought, removing the soul would likely take some of that power you covet away from you. Are you prepared for that?"

Date: 2016-02-17 01:25 pm (UTC)From:"You understand if I am a little surprised to hear this. Amos has in many ways been the one who managed my upkeep. I have more loyalty for him than our masters you see." He spoke what was already pretty much shown in how he acts.
"So tell me, Fenrir, what would you have me do? As it seems I'm the only one capable of finding your wife." A jab yes, but not like before, this meant more as just a point.
