Chapter 98

Tyson
Grace was brought first, since she didn’t get a trial. I could scent it; she was with pup. Honestly, I was happy for that. Her body is designed to birth pups with horns, claws, and both parents are within the Night Court. There’s no holy magics to contend with, nor twins. I don’t know how I know she’s having just one pup… but I do.
“What is this place?” Said Grace, appearing next to me.
“This is his altar below…. Made by the mightiest demons.” I said pointing to the great four behimoth. They are ridiculously large as well, not being allowed to rule layers, since he sends them to destroy worlds as I do….
And I am to be a general.
Surely I am not stronger than they.
“I take it then that we are to be named generals.” She said holding her belly. 
I would leave out my wish…. Time is warped and I could make it worse. I studied magic enough to know that time only goes one direction… meaning if I talk or give away that I know, someone might go and fix it…. That would not be good for anyone.
Xaxas inadvertently did that, and all the higher ups knew, but were too grateful to want to fix it… This benefits me and Kaisen the most, thus I too am greatful.
I saw a very old man in the crowd of demons, wearing tattered black robes. His wrinkled skin was slightly blue, so he was probably an unshifted bahimoth. That particular type of demon likes to show off how strong they are by looking old on purpose. He disappeared the moment I noticed him.
“Congratulations sister.” I said happily.
“I already have a name! Zolotos.” She said excitedly.
“May he be made of gold.” I grinned wider. I would love a little dragon pup for a nephew.
…Why does it feel like I’m forgetting something?
*Strange.*
I swear I saw something out of the ordinary just earlier, or realized something I shouldn’t have.
“How’s Samira?” I asked and she pursed her lips.
“Taking it hard. She thinks the baby is going to get sick, but she was turned into a lunar unicorn, and she’s grandmother’s High Priestess….I can’t see that happening.”
I rolled with it. My memory got distorted for a reason… I learned too much, and I don’t want Grace dragged into it.
“She just needs the bond to come back.” I said having a headache. I knew about stuff being out of order, but not what, or who.
“Well it was 11:58 when I left, but time’s different.” She huffed. 
“These last two minutes are going to feel like two fucking million years!” I joked, and she giggled, hugging me.
“Awe shit, we’re going to be white furred.” She joked with me.
“Ha, don’t turn white too fast, or Arviel might try and snatch you for his collection.” I got a giggle out of her with that one.
This is a good family, albeit our jobs are pretty fucked up… If I told a stranger my father was *Zuviel’s* son, and then said that my family was loving, caring, and close, I’d probably get laughed at.
He appeared with Kaizen, who smelled of his pregnant mate, hospital, and worry.
“That your mortal mind thinks you have seen my trueness is amusing.” Said grandfather without a smile. He was looking at Kaizen, so they had some unspoken conversation. 
I felt my powers kick in, but I wasn’t burned by my own light….grandfather was not here for games or light jesting. He waved his hand, and the black sun was in the center of a red sky.
Grace and Kaizen kneeled next to me, yet I was not in the 1st position, I was 3rd.
“Blood of my Blood, little souls of my son. It was I who made you, and I who molded you. Horned Wolves of Hell, receive your titles, Kaizen, the Swift One, Grace, the Powerful One, Tyson, The Holy One… I make you 1,2, and 3, your children will be 4, 5, and 6. With this distinction, you may now teleport here at will… With ranks so high, I can pass your undying nature to your sons….. No more dream traveling, no more petty, small trinkets and bobbles.” He snarled. “Arviel has his tricks’ I have mine too.”
“Your highness…. I am not the first born… I do not wish to cheat my brother.” Whispered Kaizen. Honestly, that touched me.
We are not petty demons vying for power… he is my brother.
And I almost killed him for stupid bullshi- 
“He is First on Urth. First born, Now a King, and so on. Grace is a Queen of my son’s people…They hold mighty titles and blessings…yet… you are *Just* Kaizen. Only An Alpha… That is not fair.” He said summoning a massive trident….. It shook the ground, and I can’t lie… being the height of an armored ankle made me think twice about saying anything right now. “You are Just as Capable, yet, I will not let you all share Number One…. Why should you be without?” He asked. “Why should I not bless you too? They have glory and fame, yet most of your journey has been second fiddle, vagabond, and fugitive.”
“Of course.” Kaizen said in submission…. I accepted my brother’s lead.
Grandfather chuckled. 
“I know your hearts too. Tyson… You were meant to be a holy beast. I knew that the day I pulled you out your mother’s belly. I changed your fur color, but not your soul…. You belong up high, yet must serve below.” He said shaking his head.
“As I said grandfather… I willingly do so. I don’t want to work with a man who only wanted me because I was deemed useful.” I said with a bowed head. “It is why I kneel. I know where I belong. I don’t care about being some grand holy white wolf with feathers and such. I care that my son and nephews would have to fight me. I care that I would be surrounded by beings who only want me for my unholy blade, praising me in public and hate me in secret. You have never wronged me… All you’ve ever done is love us, even though we are only mortals.”
He stood there, silently touched, but held a king’s expression…. But I spoke the truth. I am only a demigod. I kneel before the Half King… yet we are not toys. I am an ant, but he does not put a magnifying glass to my life… I could not best Herculian, Arviel’s newest general right now, but I would charge blade in hand for this court.
“I do not wish to lead either.” Said Grace. “I know I could, but all my life, I have had to deal with proving myself… finding myself… I don’t wish to spend eternity continuing that… I don’t want to have a position so high that my son and nephews are led by a leader who doesn’t want to do it… I Know you can.” 
“You rallied us, even though we were injured. Plus, I’m pretty sure this is done for Willow, Aureus, and Samira to be safe.” I said as encouragement.
I have a castle. I have servants. I rule an entire people who kneel to me, and my territory is the entire province of Quibek, yet he is *just* Kaizen. The only land he holds is a pack, respectable, but not fair seeing as how me and grace are rulers.
“Then I take position as 1st general….” Kaizen said proudly.
“Then Rise, First High Commander of Armageddon. Rise my Second High Commander of Calamity.… and my Third: Extinction. Do you see now why You are Third Tyson?” He asked, finally letting the smallest smile creep across his face.
