Chapter 22: Iruma Balam. Son of Three

                                    

                                          
Ameri was no match for Baal, ofcourse. He was stronger than normal demons, and the girl was down in a couple of minutes. Ofcourse, he was impressed with her power. He only used a bit of his power, almost half, while it seemed like she used little, almost none of it.
                          
He had plucked her out of the air, staring at her as she struggled in his arms. So her power was like her fathers- if he could just break her spirit now, when she grew older she'd fight for him, and him only. He shook her a bit as he laughed a little, holding her arms in his hands.
                          
"This was fun! Your a great sparring partner, but I think you'll be even greater once your fighting spirit is broken-" Baal yells as someone drops onto his shoulders, covering his eyes- he drops Ameri, struggling to see again.
                          
"Ameri run! I got him at his weakspot!" Someone's voice yells as he stumbles around, trying to throw this person off of him. 
                          
"Clara get off of him!!"
                          
"I can't he'll grab me!" Baal finally managed to grab the child, throwing whoever it was into the wall- and grinning when he heard a crunch, and a thump. He rubbed his eyes a bit, frowning.
                          
"Clara!" Ameri was on the floor where he dropped her, running over to a smaller girl on the ground. Baal assumed it was the child he had thrown. He starts walking over to them, a smirk on his face. These small children thought that they could attack without any help from adults? They were strong.
                          
"Did you both come here by yourself? How cute. I'll get Kirio and Robin to break you both, your good fighters, although you play dirty-" He gets blasted in the face by fire, stumbling back. One more child, a young boy- Asmodeus- stood infront of him, a frown on his face.
                          
"Stay away from them." He growls out. "Otherwise you'll get hit again."
                          
"Asmodeus! I'm suprised you never joined our cause willingly. That boy-Irurma- tainted your mind. You can return to your orgins, don't you understand how amazing that would be?"
                          
"Returning to Orgins? You want people to die!" Ameri yells, and Baal smirks.
                          
"And? What's a few demons dead in order to achieve the perfect world?" He steps forward again, and a flash of fear goes off on Asmodeus' face. Good. The boy should be scared of him. "The Neatherworld would be better off if the strong were ruling, and the weak were the strongs slaves. That's how it's going to be, and that's how it should be."
                          
"Stay back." Asmodeus says, still sounding so strong. Baal wished he didn't have to break the young boys spirit in order to get him to work with him. "Otherwise I will kill you." Amri was still sitting with the younger girl-Clara- who was still out. Baal stepped forward again, and Asmodeus stepped back.
                          
"Hit me. I'll even give you a freebie." Baal says. "If you can harm me in this time, then I'll let your mother go." Asmodeus frowns, raising his hands, before-
                          
"Stop!" Another demon slams down infront of Asmodeus, and Baal steps back, frowning. So they did bring an adult...

Iruma looks up, seeing Baal's face of confusion. The wings on his back felt weird- but they looked similar to Balam's, and he loved them. 
                          
While his friends distracted Baal, he went off to find out what curse Baal had put on Alikred, and to find his dads. Instead of finding it, he found something entirely different.
                          
"He put a curse on me to. Thats why I havent shown any demonic powers or anything like that- I've been stunted!" Alikred hums.
                          
"I never thought he could get through my defenses. It must have weakened slightly after I died. This is dangerous though Iruma. Your body may not be able to handle the powers you've been given- you could burst into flame or-"
