Chapter 956 A Father's Love.

Then Xigger laughed depreciatingly. "Can you imagine it? My own son is an Executioner. He is the hope of the Warrogs. I am so shocked and surprised."

The demon God grumbled to itself, "You can't imagine my own shock and surprise. How I wish he was not your son."

The demon god made sure to keep that thought to itself. 

Xigger stopped laughing. He said mournfully, "His mother would be so proud. Who is even his mother? I don't know which one of my mates bore him. His mother is probably dead. Maybe that's why he hates me. I didn't protect him and his mother. I would hate myself too."

The demon God quickly interfered before he went down a spiral of regret and depression. "So what now." It asked.

It doesn't want to rush Xigger but some things can't be allowed to happen either or it will be detrimental to the demon god's plans.contemporary romance

Xigger stood up immediately when he heard that question. "I must protect him. He is not just my son anymore. He is the hope of the race. He is made for great things. It is his destiny to save the race."

"And how do you intend to protect him? You're weaker than ever." The demon God dashed his hopes.

"Ah. That's true." He said.

His strength has fallen to the level he was before he fought Sauron for the first time. It is what caused the delay in his resurrection. 

He smiled and said, "That boy of mine really took a bite out of me."

He feels pride that Ragnarok did a good job in killing him. It means Ragnarok will be a good Executioner.

The demon God interrupted again. "I'm sure you must be proud. But forget about protecting him. You are weak. You can't even protect yourself. The wood elves caught up to the iron fur pack. They are on to you right now. They are chasing down every one of your fledglings. There are lords of law and kings of law among them. They won't come down into the Underdark but they will collapse the tunnels and seal the entrances and monitor the surface for the next few years."

Xigger became aghast. "What about Ragnarok. Did they kill him?"

"I am telling you to worry about yourself. You will have to dig another tunnel if you want to get to the surface. There's no way that they won't notice you doing that. They will attack you as soon as you reach the surface. There's no way to protect him now. They might even summon up the courage to descend down the tunnels after you. You did kill a lot of their members and they think that you massacred the whole iron fur pack. They are really mad at you."

The original tree people are capable of communicating with trees and the wood elves still possess that ability. They will be able to use the tree roots in the ground to monitor the surroundings so they will know when a tunnel is forming. Things are not good for Xigger right now. The demon God made sure to emphasize that Xigger is not safe while ignoring Ragnarok. 

To an unsuspecting person, it will seem like Xigger is more important to the demon God than Ragnarok. But Xigger doesn't care about his own situation right now. He cares about Ragnarok and he is only becoming more anxious the more Ragnarok's situation is glossed over like that.

Xigger's immortal heart skipped. "What did you say happened to the Iron Fur pack? They were massacred? Is Ragnarok safe?"

The demon God sighed like an unwilling partner. It reluctantly gave up information about Ragnarok. "Don't worry about him. He was the one who massacred the pack. He killed them all. Your fledglings saw it happen. Then he ran away. The wood elves think that you did it. They are after you for it. So your precious son is safe for now."

Xigger was shocked. "Why did he do that?" 

"It is an Executioner thing. Have you forgotten? Executioners gain strength from the dead. He killed the pack leader and as many other pack members as he could kill. Then he ran away. It is obvious that he did it because he needed the strength. After all, there is an immortal vampire coming after him and there's the hunt of the wood elves to worry about. They will hunt him if they find out about his existence which he had to expose to kill you." 

"You claimed to be his father but he doesn't know that and Vampires are liars so he doesn't have any reason to believe you. What matters now is that he is safe despite the amount of trouble that you have put him into."

All Xigger heard is that Ragnarok is in a lot of trouble. He doesn't care that he killed so many Warrogs. It was his fault for attacking their pack in the first place. If he hadn't attacked the iron fur pack, Ragnarok would have lived his life in peace. But he brought in problems for Ragnarok and Ragnarok did what he had to do for strength.

The love of a father well up from within him and it brought fought pain. He is no stranger to this pain. It is the pain he felt while running away from Sauron as the guilt of his failure to protect his family and his pack knawed at him. 

"I must save him," Xigger said anxiously. "It is just a matter of time before the wood elves find out about him. I am his father and I can not sit back and watch him die. Not again. I will go looking for him even if you don't help me."

The demon God sighed again. "Fine. I will help you. You're pushing my hand. Have I mentioned that I don't like you doing all these irrelevant things? This is just a waste of time. Forget your family. Let go of your mortal shackles. Aim for greatness." The demon god advised sincerely.
