It was... something. Vox had lost his his mind And it cost him his body. A war against heaven... It could never have went well for him.. yet still. This was such a strange turn of events... New truths were discovered. Things those from heaven didn't even know.
Right after Vox lost his head, 2 angels appeared, Abel and Lute. They were supposed to return Emily but Lute looked at Vox for a while and then she just called a name "Uncle Fin?..." it was a lower tone than her usual louder tone. It was almost sorrowful in a way? Vox responded with a mix confusion, hopefulnes and sadness in his voice. "Marigold?" "Uncle fin... You started this?" Lute said, confused, sad and distraught. "Lute, you know that guy!?" Emily yelled as she ran over to Lute's side with part of her wings still bleeding from it getting hit with that beam. Lute turned her head towards Emily, Emily noticed immidiatly that Lute looked distraught. Something was wrong. It was like a secret locked away in a box for years was revealled again. "Emily, that's my uncle.." Lute mutters. " Oh. My. F*cking. God." Velvette says in complete and utter schock. She then starts panning her head between lute and Vox. "You two are related!? As in like shared dna? But i thought- Exorcist aren't heavenborn?" Velvette says in pure confusion. There was both more and less tension at the same time. There was no battle, that wouldn't make sense in way anymore, the fight was off. Yet There was this shared feeling of confusion, dread and sadness. It was such a strange thing with vox, now nothing but a decipated head in Valentino's arm, and Lute, the lieutenant of heaven's army, just looking at eachother with sadness. "Marigold... Ho- How did you die? Last time i saw you, you were barley 16 and now you- you're here. In the afterlife! W- what happend?" vox stutters. Lute's face turn almost apathetic with abhint of anger "That brother of yours decided to grab his axe, chase his eldest daughetr into the woods behind the house and kill her by chopping off her arm, ripping out her vocal cords and repeatdly smach the axe i her face until she stops trying to fight back." Lute says, way too bluntly for any amount of comfort or guilt. There was silence, such akward, awful, terrible silence. Vox looked more dreadful then ever seen before in hell, Vox begin ot mutter "Why would he ever-" "He caused their deaths, i was just the proof he wasn't against doing it directly." Lute interrupted. Vox just looked at the ground with a look that Lute knew was aknowledgement towards her previous statement. He knew it was true as well as she knew that truth she locked in an old box. after a new drop of silence Lute let out a sigh, picked up Emily opened a portal to heaven in the sky, looked at Abel and said "We should return. The seraphim is probably worried." and then flew into the portal. Abel looked back and then flew behind Lute and the portal closed behind him
~~One week later~~
Valentino stepped into the elevator along with ethan who was holding Vox. "Voxxy, me and Vel wish to talk to you." Valentino suddenly said, looking over at Vox while Ethan held him a bit higher. "Ïn private." Valentino hissed. "Very well Val..." Vox begins, then he looks a bit nervous "what's it about?" "..." No reply. Valentino looks back at the elevator door. "Should i bring Vox to the location you wish or should i hand Vox over right now, Mister Valentino?" Ethan nervously asks. "Hold him while you follow behind me and hand him over when i tell you to." Valentino anwsers sternfully. "V-very well, mister Valentino." Ethan says. Therest of the elevator ride nothing gets said. Not even Vox says anything. Once the elevator doors open Valentino starts walking with Ethan following behind him. With the silence the only sound to be heard is the sound of Valentino's hels against the floor. After a few minutes of walking Valentino stops in front of a door turns around to face Ethan "Hand over Vox and return to... Wherever you belong." Valentino says dismissively. Ethan hands over Vox to Valentino and turns around and walks back down the hall. Valentino opens the door and walks into a room filled with pillows of all shapes, sizes, styles and colours, The main source of light were a bunch f lava lamps wich gave the room a purplish hue. Velvette was laying atop of a pile of pillows, on her phone. Valentino laid Vox on a different pile that was higher and shorter then the one Velvette was lying atop of. Valentino layed himself down on a different pile of pillows while Velvette layed her phone screen down in front her. "Vox..." Velvette began, a subtle hint of nervousnes to be found in her voice. "Me 'n Val. We've been thinking... That excorcist girl from the battle. She's your niece, yet you've never told me nor Val 'bout having siblings?" "Simple, i don't have siblings. She's my brother-in-law's kid." Vox anwsered bluntly. "Brother in law is implying that you're married, Vox." Valentino says. "I was but i killed her. Did i not tell you about that?" Vox anwsers. He is being a lot more blunt then he has ever been. "You didn't." Valentino and velvette say at the same time. Vox looks a bit suprised "ah, well i killed my wife, and i'm pretty sure my niece knows but i feel like she was too focused on her father causing the deaths o-" Vox suddenly stops talking and looks like he realised he said too much. "Nevermind.." He mutters. Valentino proceeds to pick up Vox and kiss him on the mouth. "Vox. Whose deaths?" Valentino asks Vox very seriously. Vox doesn't respond and looks down as much as he can(Given he is a decapitaded head and all). "Vox." Velvette begins "Who's deaths?" "..." Vox sighs "... Li- I mean marigold wasn't an only child... Her younger siblings died too, their deatsh were due to their father's actions." Vox said, clearly saddend. "That sounds like the Afton family drama." Velvette says(yes, this is what the implied Afton family tag is about dear reader. It's my au, well partially rn but still. my au.) "Mayhaps. I suppose it is similar, but they're still on earth." Vox anwsers. "Now, is this the only reason i'm here or?" Vox asks "Along with just hanging out for a night, yes." Valentino says. "Wanna watch ride the cyclone again?" Velvette asks. "Ofcourse!!" Valentino says while Vox anwsers "Again? I suppose we were already on the topic of dead children so it fits the theme." Velvette turned on a tv that Vox didn't notice earlier with ride the cyclone already on. They watched it 5 times wich ended with Velvette openly weeping in the fetal posistion and Vox and Valentino making out while also crying.
