Caged

After the ferocious griffin let Luna rest in his cave. A bright light shined from the cage as the griffin hears the voice of Coach saying:

"You think you can try and escape from my hold without any consequences"

"I'm sorry Coach I made a mistake, it won't happen again," said the griffin while taking a bow.

"While it is true that it was a mistake sorry is not good enough!" Said Coach as thunder came down gracing the mountain top.

The griffin started feeling a pain in his chest. screaming in agony he sees his soul start to crack.

"This is what happens if you defy me, I will always hold control over you"

In the overworld, Jessica is telling max that he can't mess up with the care of Lucifer.

"He's the son of the demon lord. He is also a fallen one like you it is our responsibility to give him the care we are tasked with giving him" said Jessica.

"We are not suited to train switch a high-level demon much less the son of the king himself," said Max

"We will do what we're told don't make this like last time with Starla you're going to follow orders," said Jessica

"Don't bring Starla into this we've talked about this that's all in the past?" said Max while getting a little agitated.

Isn't the reason you call our new target Star because she bears a cunning resemblance to this Starla, you know Max you're a shame to the demon clan"

Max left angrily trying to look for Lucifer to calm down. Scavenging the town with the clairvoyance magic he learned at the time he spent with the angels. Max finds Lucifer on top of a vacant bridge he sits down next to him and says:

"What are you doing all way up here my lord"

"You're my elder you shouldn't treat me with such respect, all I want if for you and everyone to treat me like equals," said Lucifer.

"I understand that you want a world where ranks don't matter. a world where you are respected regardless of who you are. regardless of how high you are in the food chain but right now the rules are different you are above me said in said food chain my lord" said Max.

After the incident with the cage back in purgatory, Luna felt she was a disappointment to the griffin.

Luna goes down to the old man's little cabin after she got better to ask the old man for his wisdom in how to realize the griffin's soul from the cage and how to get it back to his body.

"Hmm, that's a tricky one there have been many tales of people breaking the gods hold but never in one of these tales do they say how they did it, only one with the power strong enough to capture a god can break the hold one of them has on a soul," said the old man.

"How am I supposed to get enough power to overpower a god I started this whole magic thing not that long ago," said Luna

"The ruler of purgatory is a weak god. on your own it's not possible with your full strength and the combined power of a griffin you should be able to hold your own against him enough to break the seal pleased upon the cage you speak of" said the old man.

"I don't know how I'm supposed to do that my magic isn't strong even with the increased power I don't have enough understanding over this sort of thing to do that," said Luna.

"When the time comes you will know what to do my child," said the old man.

After that Luna went back to the griffins lair to try and find out how she will break the hold Coach has on the griffins soul.

"You will be free my old companion" the old man whispered.

When Luna got there she found the griffin in his cave. They both went to the cage where his cracked soul resides once they get there Luna focuses on combining both the demonic and angelic parts of her into a ball of pure energy.

While this is happening the griffin is trying to get the courage to bring out his power. he was scared due to the way he was threatened earlier that day, once he gets the courage he summons a blue flame that combines with Luna's energy.

"Is that all that's necessary to break the locks of this cage that has brought me so much pain and suffering and get me out of purgatory once and for all?" said the griffin.

"That's what we all are hoping for," said Luna.

Luna spreads her arms making the energy go around her before surrounding the cage as it starts going up in flames. They can hear the dismembered voice of Coach saying:

"you will both regret angering a god"

As the cage starts to burn it glows a light purple releasing the griffin's soul and letting it go back to his body.

"Thank you young Nephilim this gift won't go unrewarded I will lend you my aid in the coming war that will leave both clans in a state of chaos now let's go to your little cabin in the woods I will travel with you on your adventure to reincarnate from now on," said the griffin

"What do you mean both clans will end in a state of chaos won't one side win this awful war?" said Luna.

"I don't know what the future holds in store for us all I know is that you are fated to do great things Nephilim," said the griffin.

Once they get to the old man's cabin the griffin bows at the sight of the old man and says:

"We meat again Erebos my old master the first demon lord"

"I don't need such praise I am nothing but an old man now Kral," said Erebos.

"Nevertheless, you where still my master I will follow your every command I'm guessing you sent her to free me to help her in the war," said Kral.

"You where always the wise one of us both I have fate in Luna I believe the two of you can bring peace to both clans or destroy them," said Erebos.
