Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Kingdom's And Empire's

A few months pass by and we arrive at the Kingdom Of Bergen.

Home to the many Holy Churches of the Holy Knights.

Loud footsteps can be heard in the hallway.

Intense breathing, shaky legs.

The door slams open. A Knight who works at the Holy Church.

The Knights stop at his tracks as soon he runs into the room.

Gasping for air, he calms down.

"Sir, I have urgent news!" The Knight shouts.

Two giant double doors, a long hallway with a huge fancy window with a big table at the front. To the right side of the huge room, a moderate bar place and on the right is a huge wall with a small double door leading to someone's bed chambers.

A rather grumpy old man in radiating gold armour with navy blue strips and silver shoulder plates going across his armour, a gold cape with a golden symbol on his back marking the Holy Church. Navy blue covering the cape.

A short stuffy beard with a moustache, with also an old fashioned cigar placed in his mouth. wearing a black eye patch on his left eye. Bold on top with hair going all around with grey hair.

A long sword on the right side of his waist.

George was his name. He looked at the Knight who rudely interrupted him by slamming the doors wide open, with an angry look he gave the Knight the death stare. "What is it now! If this isn't urgent I will punish you with your life!"

The Knights stood before a very powerful and very famous Holy Knight. One wrong move and his life would be at stake, if it wasn't already!

"Yes, Sir! The wise ones, detected a huge magic source suddenly appearing in a demon village, northeast roughly estimating to fact to be 2 countries away from here! It also seems a few months have passed since the magic source has been detected! Sir!"

George rubs his beard and pinches his moustache as he is irritated and feels disgusted by hearing such news.

"It seems those filthy demons somehow gave birth to a noble demon but according to our knowledge, the noble demon is far more powerful than a newborn demon noble would normally be! Sir!"

"And what makes you so sure they gave birth to a Noble Demon?" George asks as he stares at the Knight.

The Knight stood there shivering in fright.

"Sir! I-i…"

"I see… So you don't know that they gave birth to a Noble!" George shouts at the Knight as he does not like false information.

"Those disgusting demons probably did some experiments to acquire such a powerful Demon! But if we send our troops to their village we can eliminate the threat, Sir!"

"Whether it's an experiment or they have given birth to an actual noble child. I want those demons eliminated! But if what you said is true, covering the distance of two entire countries is no easy feat. But! I have had enough of those filthy disgusting abominations. How dare they stand before our Great Kingdom and threaten us with their evil spawns!"

George's Magic Aura intensifies as his blood boils with rage!

"Send word to two of our Holy Knights! The master bows men and the mage, and send knights of their choosing! I had just about enough of these demons."

George sits back down on his big chair and flicks his hand at the Knight.

"Yes, Sir! Right away, Sir, we will eliminate those pests!"

The Knight bows down before quickly leaving the room and closing the huge double doors.

"I will burn their whole village down and torture whoever dear threaten our Kingdom! I will show no mercy, not even the slight hint of it! They deserve to be burnt alive over and over again!" George punches his fist at his table, splitting it in half! As he couldn't control his anger.

Two months after Sirus was born.

We head over to the Demon Empire where a particular strong Demon lives.

A 4-metre tall demon with huge black and crimson red Demonic wings with sharp pointy horns on top of the wings. His skin, red as lava and horns shaped like a crown-shaped around his head. Pitch black hair with a long beard, his fangs can pierce solid iron like butter. Also with a singular red-black tail with a spike on the end shaped like an arrow.

The demon resting upon his throne. raises his furrowed eyebrows as he feels strong magic fluctuations coming within his domain.

"Argh, my back is killing me. How much longer do I have to live before a worthy demon will inherit my throne! Though it is strange, I never sense this happening in a village as poor as where I'm sensing this aura is coming from. Usually, it happens inside my Empire and along with the other Demons Empires, now isn't that interesting?"

The demon takes a large breath as he prepares his mighty rawr. Huge doors belonging to the throne room magically opens up. Revealing a young small Demon as she flies in holding a wooden notepad with an inked feather pen.

Crimson short hair about shoulder length and two unusually long pointy ears, big eyed, her pupil the colour of obsidian. She wore a short skirt with black as its base colour and a snow-white ribbon going around acting as a belt. Her shirt black in colour but accented with snow-white linings and she wore a black necklace with a purple magic gem. Her wings were smaller than most bodies but also were her small frame. Her wings, black on top and white on the bottom. Her long tail with a smooth texture, at the base were black and towards the end fading into snow white.

"LINDA COME HERE AT ONCE!" The Demon starts coughing. His shouts shook his large Empire and the vibrations can be felt like an earthquake from kilometres away.

"Yes, my King, how may I serve you," she said with a gentle voice.

"How many times do I have to tell you! Speak up, you're not a child anymore." He said with a heavy sigh. "Anyway. Send one of the scouts to the south 27 kilometres from here, a nearby village. I have sensed an awakening."

"Awakening?" she asked with a confused look?

"If I may be my King, If I'm not mistaken in that direction it is nothing but one of our many villages, like there's nothing but low life Demons." She waits patiently as she holds the board to her chest as she looks down.

"I'm fully aware of that."

"I shall dispatch the scouts as you wished for my king." Her wings came to life as she flew out of the throne room with grace, closing the doors behind.

"If I know those Holy Knights, they probably already sent a few of their holy knights to destroy the village. Well, for now, I won't do anything, just observe and if this demon is truly the one… Yet, I will probably have to wait for another million years or so before any Demon even takes my throne! My body has weakened considerably from my long life. Damn these bones! I, Lucifer, the ruler of all demons, who has been alive for centuries upon centuries… Just wishes to enter eternal slumber… Hurry up, newborn, and challenge me for my throne."
