It was the beginning of my time; there was a war raging between Demons. It was the battle for the claim of the North, the North which was under my rule. So the Demon that ruled the South decided that he shall attempt to overthrow my power and take over. Now I could have told them from the start that such an attempt shall be futile, but yet he pushed forward. There was absolute carnage as the South crossed into our borders. Now in those years, you did not get the class of Demon you get these days. They were utterly ruthless; there was nothing they would not do. It sickened me to see what my kind was capable of.
To gain control over my territory, I created the Demon Army, the best men and women that came from all classes of our kind. At first, they were merely there to hold these Demons at bay, but as things started to spin out of control, they were faced with the task of ending the lives of so many of their own. Now, these soldiers were tough and determined; if it meant that theIn an instant, I am snapped back into reality; it feels like I have been awakened from a really bad dream. Just the mere thought of losing Mirabelle terrifies me; I shall rather sacrifice myself to let such a thing happen to her. So I but only shake my head from the ugly scene that just played over in my head and push on forward.But my beloved has been watching me having this inner battle with myself, and she looks somewhat concerned."Damien, what is wrong?""I just had the most horrible thought run through my mind, but let us not worry about that, let us get this over."Then we step into an opening that leads to a giant pit, my first reaction is to gasp; I have never seen such a sight in front of me; there are so many of them just lurking below. Some are just lying in their own pool of mess, while others are feeding. The word runs true; they are a bunch of monsters; there is not one thing good to say about their species.And by Dagon's signal, I watch the
I need to stop for one moment and take a step back, for beyond all the craziness that fill our lives, I need to allow myself to remember what drives me to make this city, and I shall even go as far as to say the world. What makes this all worthwhile is the beauty that lies in my arms. Should I not have had her presence in my life, I would not have had the sheer willpower to take the impossible on. Not that I say I would have looked away; I would have left it to others to resolve by risking their lives for our kind. But with Mirabelle, I need to prove myself not only as a leader but also as the man I wish she would desire.To have beauty in your life is easy, but to have the beauty of the woman that you love and the one that loves you in return is the greatest gift that one can experience. I can, with all honesty, say that there is no doubt that she completes my life. To be lonely for eternity can be seen as a life sentence, but having what you crave, is the greatest blessing.
…Mirabelle POV…I cannot believe the words that have come from Damien's lips. I cannot say which I feel the most, shock or surprise. Do the Devil even get married?Now it should be an easy answer, for I love Damien with more than every fiber of my body, and we shall, after all, be together for eternity. Why then is there hesitation for me to answer him, should I even dare to say that I shall considerer his proposal?But now another idea comes to mind. Does he mean this, or did he indeed only say this in the moment of ecstasy. I am sure a man such as Damien, who lived a life where he had women in abundance, has never considered such a drastic step in any relationship.The thing is, why am I even having this inner battle with myself. The answer is easy; it should be yes and nothing else. But somehow, I cannot get myself to say the words to this man that is staring at me, waiting for me to come to a decision.…Damien POV…I am t
Today I choose to look the other way.I will wed my beloved before next sunset.Whatever requires our attention here shall have to wait. So we find ourselves in a nervous but joyful mood returning home several hours later. Now, if our ceremony is not creating absolute chaos, then I would say that poor Lilith is headed for one major hysterical breakdown. She is going beyond what is required. She is making this look more and more like a true wedding. All I do is watch poor Mirabelle just look on, far too scared to stop the crazed woman that is running from one side to the other in the ballroom."Lilith, please don't tell me those ungodly things are flowers?""Damien, they are red.""Your point being? They are still flowers. And why in god's name is there chairs?""To sit on Damien.""You can stand; there is nothing wrong with your perfectly good legs.""Damien, the way you talk, we shall be here forever. Now please get out my face."So I ta
I never have before experienced excitement and yet been more terrified at the same time as I do now. It is truly amazing how the things you desire can bring you to your knees. In saying things, I do mean a woman, that one such a creature can break down your defenses. I always believed that a woman should be my undoing, but this is an undoing that I do welcome. And as I stand here, I have never been so sure about anything in this life and the lifetime before.But let me tell you a story of a man so lost and incomplete that he dwelled for years in trying to find that one thing that he eluded him so, love. The man that tells you that they do not desire to experience love and not be love in return is not only a liar and a fool. The craving to be loved is a desire that every mortal, and believe me when I say, that every Devil does have.Now how do you love? You love with your heart and your head, your instinct and your experience. Should you lack any of these, there shall alway
…Mirabelle POV…I have just experienced what the best day of my entire existence is, now I would be foolish if I believe that things shall now go back to some kind of normal. Though in saying normal, I am referring to a life where a bastard human spends her life peacefully with that of the King of Hell. Now what can be seen as normal should be absolute chaos. And chaos is exactly what is about to erupt as Azron is about to confirm what item is missing from the very room where we are now making our way to. Now another word that should be accompanied by chaos is pure horror. I think that there should be nothing that scares me by now, but I have just been proven very wrong once again.So before Damien utters the very words that I fear to come from his lips, he grips me by the hips and crushes my body into him; with one loud growl, he lifts my feet from the floor and carries me backward toward the bed.He lets my body fall back into the sheets; every square

I have just experienced what the best day of my entire existence is, now I would be foolish if I believe that things shall now go back to some kind of normal. Though in saying normal, I am referring to a life where a Devil spends his life peacefully in the comfort of his home. Now what can be seen as normal in my home can only be described absolute chaos. And chaos is exactly what is about to erupt as I am about to confirm to Mirabella what item is missing from my room. Now another word that should be accompanied by chaos is pure horror. I think that there should be nothing that scares me by now, but I have just been proven"My beloved, I fear that…"She does immediately interrupt me, looking somewhat annoyed. I might have just become the same bearer of bad news that Azron is. So it is with daggers in her eyes that she turns her full attention to me."Damien, I warn you, if you open that mouth with trouble, I am going to slap it back closed for you.""I se
…Mirabelle POV…Damien is absolutely sinful and as I lay here next to him, I see that beautiful smile on his face that I have grown to love."Damien, I would say good morning, but we do not sleep. And if we could sleep, then I would say we did not sleep.""Why on earth, my beloved?""Because you cannot keep your hands to yourself.""I am only showing you love, my beloved. The love of a Devil.""I am tending more to lust."He runs his hands up my body. He runs his soft lips over my skin."What do you say, I show you how more love this Devil has?"Damien grips me by the hips and crushes my body into him.He lets my body fall back into the sheets; every square inch of my body dissolves into his. He leans over me and centers me on the bed before he settles on top of me. I feel him, all of him, pressed against me; I feel his erection throbbing against my thighs, his warm breath lingering on my skin.He feels amazing.
As I stand and admire her beauty where she is standing in front of the tall mirror of the wall, all I can think of his touch those deep cherry lips of hers. But I can see that she is torn between what choice to make, so I stand to go to her; I am such a danger to be around right now, I do not even think that I should make such a bold step.Here is this girl, she has taken away all my senses; she has come and brought me so much pleasure. But now, once again, she has become the forbidden fruit which I can not taste. I know that wanting her should be so wrong, but right now, wrong surely feels so good."My beloved, I am truly sorry. If I knew that this would happen, then I would never have taken you there. Do I even dare to say that this was meant to happen?"I see her smile, but her eyes are filled with disappointment. What have I done wrong? Is it something I perhaps said? She steps a slight bit forward and gently reaches out to touch my hand. A million sensations shoc
Life does not flash in front of your face when you stand death within the eye; it is, in fact, all just pure horror. Who has the time to think about the things you have done and should have done in return when you are staring your end into the face?Now the last thing I was to stare into the face now is the man that betrayed me and let us not forget the man that started this all. Which one do I wish to punch first?"Dagon, why? Why have you gone this far?""It is obvious, Damien, for love.""My dear man, you have the wrong impression of what love is and even more skewed the way you find yourself to keep it.""You have been nothing but trouble since Mirabelle set foot in your life. You have put so many of our kind in danger, and let us not forget about the most important...""Lilith? Well, I have known my sister for her entire Demon life, and this is the very last way she wishes one to express it to her."While I am saying this, the deep sadness, bu
It is said that if you follow a plan step by step that it should not fail, so why do we find ourselves facing an empty void of nothing? If this man is casting these spells in the order that it should be done, then there should be a rip in reality, a tear from which bright light should come. But instead, we are standing at the entrance of the crypt, where many of the elder Demons have come to their final resting place. Perhaps he just finds himself to be slow, or he is having trouble in performing the spell as they do become more difficult the stronger they become.So while we patiently wait for something that is best to not happen at all, I dial Azron to find out how things are at his end."My dear Azron, any sign of unrest with Connor and his pack?""Damien, they do not seem to be here.""Like taken or just gone?""That I cannot tell you, but something does seem odd."This news does bother me somewhat, for Connor would not leave his home unless if by s
Every man's life lies within the present, for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain. Even though the future is uncertain, you should choose to embrace the unknown and have faith that everything is going to be okay. This may not be tonight, tomorrow, or the next day, but everything is going to be okay.I, myself, am a strong person, but every now and then, I need someone to hold my hand and tell me that everything shall be all right. But if all of those around you are wanting for you to be that person to them, you need to be the one that rises through the storm, forget about your own fears, do not wonder, do not imagine, and most of all, do not obsess about the things that make you feel uncertain. Breathe and believe that everything shall be fine in the end; if it is not, that only means that it is not yet the end.The question begs, do I tell the truth and tell them what it is that they need to hear, or do I tell them what I feel I want them to hear.
They say that life is made up by a series of defining moments; it shall define who you are and whom you shall become. I do believe that the way we shall overcome the Book of Spells shall define the legacy of the Demon. Now, this will never be one that we shall outlive, but it shall be the one that we shall gain the respect of other mythical creatures in this realm and even beyond what the eyes can see.Now, why should such a feat be tasked to a Demon, for the simple fact that we are the superior race. There are the ones that compare in strength, but they are only but set to reap destruction between themselves. But then you find a human that wishes to harness the power of something he truly does not understand. Even worse now, he wishes to speed up the pace at which the Seven Spells should be cast; this is a recipe for disaster that is about to unfold rapidly.So I am not sure if it is with pure luck or plain stupidity that we find ourselves standing next to a cemetery. I w
I have a very worried Mirabelle staring at me; now I know what the poor girl is thinking; she is wondering what does 'cleansing of the mortals' means. Well it means, the strongest shall survive, for the darkness shall unleash every creature that nightmares are made of. And these creatures prey on the lives of mortals; they range from taking their souls to ripping the very thing that beats which keeps them alive. These creatures shall eliminate those who are too weak to be part of the perfect mortal race.So it is with pure panicked horror that Mirabelle asks the question that I am sure even the Demon Hunter, Zachariah, knows the answer to."Do I even dare to ask what the other spells are?""My beloved, there shall be a spell that will, if you wish to say, cleanse immortals too. Now, if he follows the book to perfect detail, the next shall be to cleanse the very creatures that have just cleansed the mortals for him."And when you say him, you say you know exactly
After what seemed like the longest hour of my immortal life, we make our way back home to regroup and plan our way forward.It is a concerned Lilith that stops me before I enter my room, "Do you fear the holder of the vase shall come after us?""I believe that nobody is safe. No mythical creature and no human also. We shall be leaving in the next half an hour."With that, Lilith makes her exit; to say that Azron and I am not relieved would be a lie. But this shall be a shortlived for we do need to make our departure. I do believe that we are being optimistic walking into this with only three Demons, the Devil and his beloved. The question begs, to return my father to his form once again, the holder of the vase requires to master the Book of Spells, has this man managed to require she skill to do so? This I am afraid I do not know, for we have not seen any unexplainable phenomenon.So after gathering as much courage that four trembling Demons can, we step outside
There is a sound of absolute terror that fills the forest as chaos erupts before my very eyes. It is hard to see under the struggle that is a bundle in a ball of tumbling bodies if my beloved is still moving. As I watch one Ripper by one get pulled off from her lifeless body, it is pure agony that shoots through my body. It is with absolute impatience that I wait to be untied. The minute my hands are free, I leap to her in an instant. While I kneel next to her, I watch as the Rippers get ripped themselves. Well, I guess it is true that every dog has its day; in this case, a Ripper has gotten what he had coming.So as I shake my beloved, I need to find the urge not to cry in front of all that is present. I know that she is okay; it is only the terror that has her beyond scared."My beloved, they are all gone."Very bewildered, she opens her eyes; her voice is a soft whisper underneath her shivering lips."Damien, what happened?"From behind me, a very dear fr
