Chapter 18 - 18

#Hades#

Warwick walked into the living room where all his brothers were casually discussing. He crashed a nearby vase into the ground and let out a maddening scream. "I HATE STARWICK EDWARD!!!" He screamed even louder. All his elder brothers turned to look at him.

"What's got you all riled up." Lucian asked, sipping the beer in his cup. "Wick Ed! He's my problem! Why can't he just die?!" Warwick asked. "He can actually." Lucian said, his face stoic and expressionless. "The curse dad pronounced on him is enough to kill him,... despite the fact that he's the Beast of Hell." Lotharie said. "Of course it is. The moment Lucifer messes with your life,... it's blowing up in smithereens." Drake said.

"So dad can kill the Beast of Hell?!" Warwick asked, obviously surprised. "Of course he can. He's lord of the underworld." Lucas said, like it was the most obvious piece of information in the world. "It's not like the Beast of Hell is invincible,... it's just that it's not possible to kill the Beast of Hell. The fact that Starwick did still surprises me." Lucian said. "The fact that the Beast of Hell is now a descendant of Lucifer himself just means Wick is invincible. Only the king of the underworld has the power to kill him." Lotharie said.

"Wow. I'd like to see that show go down." Drake whistled. "Lucifer knows he can't use force to kill Wick,...hell he'll be at the receiving end. Through the curse, he can end Wick once and for all without causing himself pain and embarrassment." Lotharie said. "Isn't this his last trial?" Drake asked.

"Yes it is and I'm scared he might break it. What if he gets lucky this time?" Warwick asked. "He can't. Chances of that happening are slim to absolute zero." Lucas said. "Actually there's a 1% chance he can get lucky." Lucian corrected. Drake laughed, "We have a name for things like that. It's called God's grace." "And may it never find Wick." Lotharie cursed.

"Why do you all hate the kid so much?" Drake asked. "Don't you?" Warwick asked. "Nah. I'm too lazy for that." Drake responded. "Plus if you all HATE Wick so much, aren't you meant to hate the other War just as much. They are twins you know." he added. "Are you trying to turn my brothers against me?!" Warwick asked infuriated. Drake yawned, "That seems like a lot of brain work. I'm the sin of sloth. I don't think I'd have the strength for that. I'm just asking questions here."

"Well to answer your questions,...they don't hate me cause I'M the supportive twin. I'M the favorite twin. I'M the twin who does what is asked of me. I'M the loyal one,...while Wick,..." Warwick paused then laughed. It was more of a snarl than a laugh. He added, "... he's everything I'm not to them."

"Even though he's a hundred times better than you?" Drake asked. "That's the greatest reason we'd chose him over Wick. War can't threaten us or subdue us. Wick can. He's a threat to this whole empire." Lotharie said. "He's a mistake." Lucian added. "So,...the whole essence of your hatred is jealousy?" Drake asked. Warwick smirked, "If you put it like that, it makes us sound like bad people."
