Born With Black Wings: The Legend of The 2nd Demon King
Prologue
It was a dark night, which is common where he's from. The smell of brimstone, the heat as intense as the inside of the sun burned the air around. Flames scorched the ground beneath to what would seem a mere 800 degrees. Demons ran freely around without a care, tormenting those new and those well known as citizens of this horrible place. This place was known as hell. A man, off in the distance, was practicing his swordsmanship. He was tall man, skin of pure bronze and body of a bull; his muscles showed as if he had worked them for years. His hair was a silky yet a tainted maroon red. He wore a black sash to secure his black and crimson kimono. A young boy, almost a younger image of this man, ran up to him.
"Father," he said as a lad, "I want to learn how to be a mighty swordsman."
He replied with a very deep voice, almost menacing, "Son, I'm going to teach you a lesson. Being a swordsman can get you killed if you aren't skilled or careful," then he tossed a wooden katana towards to the little one, "Now hold your stance and defend yourself or I will kill you.
The man withdrew a falchion, a giant, curved blade, and pointed the sharp blade at his own son. "Remember to pay attention," he grunted, "and let me see how much well you can protect yourself." Frightened that this man would easily overcome the wooden blade with his mighty sword, he stood there trembling with fear.
The young boy, however, took his stance, with his left foot forward, and his other on the tip of his toes. This stance was created by this man, known as the Wolf's Blood Fang. This man charged forward, and in one strike, knocked the boy off the cliffs into a fiery oblivion. The boy scrambled to climb up, but his father stepped on his hand. "If you can make it up from the pits, I will teach you how to counter my attacks," he said. And he just walked away from the helpless child.
The man's name was Kotonos, most commonly the King of Demons. Kotonos was not the devil, but resided in hell as ruler. His sons knew that his father was the most powerful of any other force. But you will learn the story of the child hanging from the cliff. This is his story, Kotonos' second child…
