Ezra wakes up within his cell, perplexed as dawn breaks and guards open door and enter.

The sounds of the Keys and the opening of the heavy, metal door have him shaking for the first time in his life, the muscular guards pick him up by the arms. The shackels on his waist and legs get released as well, and he gets carried through the hallway.

Ezra's legs are dragging on the floor, leaving a trail of blood, they're numb, possibly broken.

Barely thirty minutes have passed and Ezra looks up to see giant doors that open before his eye, letting the guards pass through.

"We have brought the boy." A guard speaks in a low vocal tone.

"Good." Lucifer takes a sip of his tea, "You're lucky, Ezra, although i thought you'd be older. Then again, if you were... You'd recieve a great beatdown." He once again takes a sip.

Ezra roars with unimaginable fury: "Flatus!" he kills the guards behind him by releasing a spell from his hands, held by the guards.

"Impressive, i never knew you were that aggresive. Bring her out!" He commands the guards who bring out Ezra's sister.

"The time has come." he says, accidentally dropping the tea.

"What do you plan on doing with my sister?!" Ezra stands there in shock, unable to move a muscle, and Aisha looks from beside Lucifer.

"While i have you here in my grasp, maybe i should skip a few steps in the experiment." Lucifer touches the middle of her chest with his palm and it explodes, killing her.

Ezra looks on in terror at the sight and hears a voice, an echo in his mind: "shadows are my blood, void is my heart. the very being that i am, midnight moon lights up the shining earth. Shade of the king and his people, the bane of a true empire."

Ezra touches the floor and says aloud: "realm: deathly hollow"

Lucifer imediately gets summoned to Ezra's realm, a space with a single platform surrounded by swords in strange shapes imbedded in the ground. Ezra's legs don't still are beat up and as Lucifer aproaches, he can't fend him off and gets blown up by Lucifers attack.

Lucifer stands in the middle of the arena, awaiting the domain to dissapear, but rather, black goo starts oozing from the earth and forms a humanoid shape, Ezra revives himself completely.

"Strange, Lucifer, how do you make a realm dissapear if you are unable to kill the user?"

"Do not look down on me, child." lucifer forms energy into a sword shape and cuts the domain wall, collapsing it.

They both find themselves in the throne room, Ezra is holding his chest and Lucifer stands before him, unfazed.

"I do admit, your realm was impressive, however, your journey ends here." Lucifer attempts to strike down Ezra but hears a window shatter.

Tahir stands in the broken glass holding a vial of teleportation.

He throws the vial at Ezra and the fluid splashes on him and he dissapears from the palace.

Lucifer, now inraged, creates a spatial cage around Tahir.

"who are you?! How dare you do such a thing?!" Lucifer prosecutes him.

"How dare you threaten a child?! He didn't deserve any of that just because he existed!"

"I'd much rather kill you, but that would be the greatest fate for you." Lucifer incases him with black "manna" and he finds himself in a realm of pure chaos where nothing makes sense.

"You are here because i will you to, and it is here where your next eternity will be spent, its what you deserve for acting as a saviour."

And In all his pain and all his horror, the only thing Tahir thought about was if Ezra was safe. If he had made it alive, if he knew that, he'd find peace in torture. In his mind, this eternity was a blessing.
