The Demon Tribe Next Door- Prologue
Axialis held an Annual Ball assembled the castle court of the wealthiest Demon Lord. Demon Lord Ghirahim whom many may think is ruthless, evil, infamous and vile lounged in his snug throne. His guests were afraid of him and would only approach him with caution. The dukes, governors, commanders had no voice in any of Ghirahim's affairs, not even one in the Surface. Though the event unfolded a rather cheerful one as many danced in pairs with an exquisite orchestral ensemble where some of the demon children servants were involved in.
Lady Veidelle, the older sister of the Demon Lord was an easygoing demon and spent most of her time chatting with her little brother. He silvery hair was tied half with a folded bun. "This is indeed my first time seeing more children involved at the ball but where is the other child you have been mentioning about? What's his name Shao...? Shea...?"
"Shai, he prefers behind the scenes… unlike the others." Ghirahim said nonchalantly fiddling with the hem of his cloak.
"I heard you took the child from this dreaded island of the goddess." She whispered. "Do you know what this means? Demons will start fearing you more and misconceptions and fear from the humans will start spreading."
"Vei, why don't you just stop worrying about me, if fear is generating and so be it. Humans will not live long up there, the old generations pass out too quickly and orphans are taken in by the silly academy they have there."
"Demise will be proud of what we have accomplished in Goltary, the mass of humans are extinct thanks to your army Ghirahim." Veidelle chuckled sipping from her teacup.
Ghirahim sighed and held his hand to his sister, "May I have this dance then?"
"You'll embarrass me won't you?" Veidelle asked cynically
"So how is Goltary fairing, is it as grand as the chosen Axialis?" Ghirahim asked, knowing the answer already.
"I can only maintain what my dear Demise have accomplished for Goltary, Axialis is magnificent in terms of the massacre of humans. If I could relive that day again and see my beloved King hold me when he plunged the sword in rebellion to the Grand Sheikah, my life will be at ease. Anaya as well, she is a sweet child and always serving. I wish I never had put her in danger, locked the door when the battle was at hand…."
"These grievances must end. Once I revive Demise, Anaya will be revived as well. Only master knows how to revive her. Eternal damnation to the human existence will be complete and their existence will be obsolete. Demise was right, the decaying of humans will allow our race to flourish and I still hold the view ever so strongly. " Ghirahim hugged Veidelle in assurance of the plan. They stopped their waltz and sat back down.
"So you have two slaves, Shai and Kanji. Tell me more about these two children; I also have my own who follows me around. Those girls are about the same age as your own. Besides I've visited this time and your vacation to Goltary would fill my heart with-"
"Rainbows… I appreciate your invite and it is true, Demise hates overworking. Anyways it does sound like an idea. I think since you've arrive early this week, you should settle as well until next month. Goltary is a sight for me to visit, although are you aware of some demons who are fence sitting on their views on our agenda? Anaya would have been one of those but I'm sure once Demise revives her, she will be one of us." Ghirahim stretched arms.
"You'll love my slave girls as well, mothering them is something I thought of when your troops raided the secret fortresses of Lanayru. We also found the Sheikahs and eliminated them. Demise is always right about something, if the creatures are not a threat, why not make them your own."
"It doesn't always work, so those girls were human I'm guessing?" Ghirahim rubbed his chin.
"No they were demons like us but sheltered with those Sheikahs, they have followed unwillingly about the ways of Hylia." Pity filled Veidelle's eyes as she pondered about it.
A duke demon interrupted. "My Lord, you'll be the first to know that this ball is simply fabulous."
"Oh my… I almost forgotten…" Ghirahim gasped remembering a surprise for his guests.
He stood up, holding his wine glass and tapped it with a wine stirrer with a ruby embedded flamboyantly.
"My wonderful guests, Ladies and Gentlemen… it's a pleasure of mine to have you gathered here in Axialis once again. This eminent moment is no different to the last, however from my research I have the ability to recall the history with a certain magic of mine. If you would please proceed to the balcony, this visionary prospect is a work of art. It is, a reminder of why we have carried on from thousands of years."
The crowd exited as Ghirahim lounged pondering what Shai accomplished.
I hope he got it right… the inscriptions, the time slots of memories and illustrations, then again it's the sky that they are looking at.
Ghirahim trailed his gaze at Shai, the servant who is now 8 years signaling with worry from under the banquet table. He pursed his lips hating the fact the child was hiding under the table, but what can he do. It was his home after all. He proceeded towards Shai and squatted down to talk to his beloved servant.
"A-are they gone?" Shai asked his master.
"Balcony... is the presentation in top condition, how was the guest list and-"
Shai started to sob, shaking his head. "Two girls just came over, they weren't on the list but they walked passed me without a proper check so we have kind of lost them afterwards and we know how you hate intruders. They laughed at me though… and said th-thad their mistress made free entries, somtin' likit."
"That I can deal with, they seem like they are not a threat if they walked pass you two without weapons. They must be my sister's two slave girls… Anything else…?"
"I wrote a whole lot of things and Kanji said I can't spell so it means the presentation is kinda bad."
"WHAT? WHY NOW SHAIKA!" Spark of rage came as a shock for Ghirahim. Hoping for the worse to not come.
"Sorry…"
"You had the whole to check to and change things around! Why didn't you listen to Kanji, if not you could have just called me? Perhaps I should have taught you telepathy before assigning you this task…" Ghirahim pinched his bridge of his nose recovering his shock.
"Master… it was too late when the spell read the project and Kanji wasn't sure either… whether the change did take place." Shai's tears became a river and Ghirahim grabbed a napkin from the table and wiped his tears gently. Shai stood up as Ghirahim assisted him to balance from his shakiness from his legs.
"I was sure sending you to the library everyday would help you with literature…" Ghirahim sighed. "I have to now deal with the crowd with utter humiliation."
Shortly after, cheers, shouts and applause could be heard from the crowd. Both of them were alone… at the empty court viewing the sky with the divine pictures of presentations of the battles, the slaughter of humans from Ghirahim's own memories and the prospective illustrations.. The texts were unforgettable.
'Tis my vision I share with you all.'
Image of the past showed.
'The will of the gods of old will not flare…? Flourish…'
Image if the slaughter appeared. Barrenness of lands was also depicted. Shai shut his eyes because of the gruesomeness. Ghirahim chuckled and patted his head. More cheers from the crowd and laughter of amusement.
'We will flourish in the mist of all Hylian creetures'.
More cheers and applause…
'All we need is the aura of damnation and claim the Triforce…"
'…with yours and my majyk!'
'Luff, Demon Lord Ghirahim."
An image of Ghirahim winking in mug shot from the sky appeared and the crowd was amused with the aesthetics of the presentation. Ghirahim laughed and now hugging Shai. They could also hear the crowd whistle louder than the normal whistles; roaring as though they have won battles.
Ghirahim whispered stroking the slaves back.
"Not a failure but a wonderment, my child…"
A/N~MJS: My attempt on prologue. IC96 will write the next I think so YAH! Lady Veidelle and Anaya was from 'Paradise' from my fan fiction. You don't have to read it because it's self explanatory in this story eventually. The two girls... mystery...
