Ok! This is a story I had an idea for, well only a couple of days honestly. I was reading a DxD story, and then I read something with Serafall Leviathan, and then I got curious the past with the devils, and then I thought, 'why not make a story from before the devil faction war?' so that's what I did. I don't really know what else to say about this but I actually hope people like this story.
The Vassago's were a part of the 72 pillars since the beginning of the war against heaven, but while the first was depicted as a 'Good' natured spirit, it was widely known in the underworld that the Vassago's were silver younger, even more so than some of the greatest politicians of the human world. Our story, however, follows one of the few Vassago members who held up to their 'good' nature. A young devil known as Vipre.
Vipre wasn't all that cute, as some people would call a young boy,and instead he was more plain looking than many other devils in his family. He had the genetic brown hair that all Vassago's had, but even then, it was a dull color, compared to the chocolate brown most of his family had. His eyes, however, were a vibrant Blue color, bordering on electricity in color.
The Vassago elders tried to have her mother disown him due to his eye color alone, but no matter how much they tried to get her to get rid of him, her mother stayed strong, as both of the parents were pureblood devils. That alone meant that Vipre's birth was rare. Pureblood devils were notoriously hard to get pregnant after all. The fact that he was also the heir to the Vassago clan cemented that he couldn't be forced out unless the parents wished so. And considering that his parents had died when he was young, made it impossible for him to be disowned.
When he started showing signs for the family's genetic magic, that made it so that even if he was disowned, the one he ended up with would have a large chance of gaining the Vassago's family magic. That couldn't be allowed.
Currently, however, Vipre was running around the Vassago compound with a happy laugh, a couple of maid's chasing after him. The only problem? He was using the Vassago's wind magic to completely outrun any of the help that tried to catch him. Needless to say, the staff was having trouble with the 5 year old.
"Young master! Please stop running from us!" One of the maids yelled out as she tried to catch up to the young boy.
Vipre jumped into the air, causing himself to float, to which he turned towards them, arms crossed "No! If I do, you're gonna make me sit through those morning ed-u-cut sessions!"
Another maid let out a tired sigh as she said "Young Master it is Etiquette, and you must learn to be a proper gentleman so you may run this clan when you come of age."
Despite the Maid's reasoning, Vipre stayed stubborn on what he wanted, as he gave a 'hmph' while turning away from the mads, only to squeal when a large body caught the boy in mid air, while still floating.
The one who caught Vipre gave a rumbling sigh while he said"Vipre, you know better than to try and skip out on your Etiquette lessons."
Vipre gave a 'aw' as he shifted and said "But uncle Primo! I know it already!"
Primo was a bear of a man, who stood at 6'6 for his height, and lumbering muscles as well from years of training and fighting. He had the Vassago's genetic chocolate brown hair, and his eyes were closer to the genetic brwn as well. The lumbering man sent a look towards his nephew as he said "Then show it. You are the prince Vassago, and you must act like it."
Vipre frowned at that, but he didn't comment on his uncle's words. Despite the boys playful nature, which was completely natural, he was smart as well. Vassago's, unknowingly to the rest of the three factions, were the tacticians of the old Lucifer. Wind was a tricky and clever element after all. You could never have a straight caught with wind. If you tried pushing into the wind you'll get blown away, but at the same time wind could help you move forward. As such, tactical games were a must for every Vassago, which were few as it was nowadays, as they helped with mental prowess. The Vassago family was never physically strong like most would expect. Considering people like Primo. Every one in the family was clever more than strong after all.
Reluctantly, Vipre agreed to take his classes, but even still he didn't want them. If he was going to run the Vassago clan, he would run it how he wanted. And with the growing problems between clans, it was only a matter of time before war broke out between the two political parties that were considered groups known as the old-satan group, and the Anti-satan group. His family was a part of the Old-satan's and he refused to have his family go extinct simply because the elders refused to see that the old satanic ways were destroying the underworld.
Five years old or not, he had enough lessons beat into him by the elders to see what was going on, he just wasn't nearly strong enough to do anything quite yet. Though this also meant that until the newest generation matured, a way would be on hold. With the new generation stronger than the last, the war would be decided by the newest generation defeating whatever was thrown at them from both sides.
Times like these made Vipre glad that he had so many lessons crammed into his head as he grew up.
As his last lesson of the day ended, Vipre gave a groan of annoyance at the skills fact that the teachers still treated him like a child. In body he was, that wouldn't be argued by anyone, even himself, but in mind, he was beyond anything the tears could say to him, well, at least with things like grammar and etiquette. He still had more to learn in a lot of other ways.
With one more groan, Vipre fell against his bed and waited. He wanted to get pou of the castle, and he knew what time would be perfect for that as well, but the question was, what would he do? It's not like there's a lot a five year old could do, even if he was a heir to one of the pillars.
Vipre closed his eyes for a few seconds when someone opened the door to his room, but the second it closed, he sat up quickly and opened his window. He needed to be careful, as there were still guards watching the villa that he lived in, no matter how much he wanted a simple home with not to much or too little, and he flew down to the courtyard. Looking around for a few seconds, he gave a praise towards his small size, before he slipped past a couple of guards and through a hedge as to get closer to the wall of the Villa.
When he did reach the wall,he looked around to make sure of where the lights where looking before using his magic, in a subtle way, and used it to get over the wall. Looking back to see if anyone spotted him, he gave a cheeky grin, before he Air skated away, something that he was told repeatedly was a waste of magic. Despite this though, Vipre could see the combat applications for su h a technique.
Vipre stopped dead in his tracks however,when he heard some crying from the town he was in. Looking towards the noise, he was surprised to see a girl his age on the ground crying, even though no one was stopping to help her. He frowned at that, before he walked up to the girl and asked "What's wrong?"
The girl stopped crying right out, but she still shuffled a bit "I'm lost..."
Vipre gave a sad look towards the girl, before he helped her up "Um, maybe I can help you get home. I know this town like the back of my hand!"
Vipre gave a nice guy pose, which was him smiling with a Thu!bs up out, to which the girl giggled a bit. As she looked towards Vipre saw that she had Violet eyes,though she had black hair as well. Her hair was put into twin pigtails,though with how long it was, the pigtails reached her knees. She was wearing a simple blue sundress as well, but Vipre was more focused on trying help her then how she looked.
"I'm Vipre! What's your name?" The Vassago boy stated with a grin.
The girl giggled once again, before she said "Serafall Sitri."
That caused Vipre to freeze for half a second, not enough for Serafall to notice, but even still, he had to be careful now. If he brought her home and said she was a Vassago, there was a good chance he would be killed on the account of attempted kidnapping. The Vassago family was a Old-satan family, while the Sitri Had sided with the Anti-satan group. Not to mention if his family hear about this, the elders would have a legitimate reason to not only disown him, but execute him as well.
Weighing the two options between leaving her there, and risking death to help her... He grimaced slightly, but decided to help her anyway, by quickly smiling so she wouldn't notice, and saying "Wow! I didn't expect to meet a Sitri! Come on, I'll help you get home."
Serafall seemed to give strained smile at the mention of her name, Vipre didn't comment on it. It seemed that she didn't like her name, or at least the unearned respect from the name, either, and Vipre didn't blame her. If he could, he wouldn't have Vassago as his last name only becuase of the fact that the name gave him a lot of scorn in the city. A majority of the city was part of the low class devil population, and with how the elder Vassago's act, Vipre didn't like how he was associated with them.
Vipre lead the way for Serafall for a bit longer, before he tried to strike up a conversation "So... Do, you not like your last name?"
Serafall looked at him with wide eyes, before he quickly explained that he saw her strained smile and so he assumed she didn't care for the name. Serafall's expression grew slightly sad, as she said "I'm the Sitri heir... I don't know if you understand, but that means I have to take lessons on 'Manners' and 'Etiquette'... I just wanna have fun!"
Vipre did everything he could from laughing at the sheer coincidence that her statement had. He wanted to have fun just as much as she did, by he was stuck in a stuffy villa with no means of entertainment, except for the occasional game of chess of Shogi, as it was recently introduced to him.
Vipre gave a grin towards Serafall, as he said "How's this, every Sunday, after 8:00 PM, I'll meet you at the park, and we can have fun together!"
Serafall's eyes widened, showing her Violet eyes with a sparkle in them. She gave a grin in response, and a nod of happiness, before both of them headed towards her home, both having a new friend that they were going to do everything they could to keep despite their home.
This is all I got for ya, so please review and let me know what you think.
