Hellish Chronicles.
Prologue.
Hell. The land of demons, the fear of all living beings. Though, a place not too different from Earth. Forests, but with dead trees. A sky, but pitch black at night, and on fire during the day. Water, darker but still blue. Creatures of all forms as animals. And towns.
Demons were organized like the humans, with markets, bars, and restaurants. There was even some orphanages and schools, where young demons were trained to become great fighters.
And fighters were needed in Hell. Though there was a king, many powerful demons were convinced they could be a greater king, and they created their armies. These rebellious armies were, as the king liked to say, a pain in the ass. Thankfully, he was strong enough to stay on his throne. But still, it angered him to no end to lose his people because of the wars these rebels started. The king hated to see his citizens dying. He also had a sweet spot for children; and this, added to the fact he did everything in fights to keep the most soldiers possible alive, and that he was always making sure everyone had everything that was needed, made him a loved king.
And it was here, in Hell, that our story began...
The blazing hellish sky was reflecting in the orange hues of the king of Hell. His dark blue hairs were swinging due to a soft wind, and he was sitting on the windowsill, in his room. His muscular form was clothed in tight dark pants, a tight black shirt, and a sleeveless dark blue coat. Arms bands were making his muscles more visible; and his pale skin was contrasting with his clothes, making him look gorgeous under the red sky.
Jehu, as the king was called, was relaxing from the stress the rebellious armies were putting on him. He had just come back from a lake close to a nearby town, where Cobra, one of the rebellious leaders, had put venom in it. Jehu had been furious to see hundreds of people at the verge of dying because of it.
And yesterday, Saiou, another leader, who had decided to make some creatures became crazy, resulting in a massive attack of some of his watchtowers... Strategic ones, of course.
Thankfully, each leader also wanted to kill the other leaders; and it pleased him to no end when they were fighting against each other, and not against him. Cobra and Saiou were only half-threat for Jehu. But the three demonic brothers, Uria, Raviel and Hamon, were a real problem; they never fought against each other and were clever enough to aim for overthrowing Jehu first; and then they would crush anybody who would show rebellion.
A knock on his room was heard. The bluenette demon diverted his gaze from the sky and looked at the door.
"Come in." He said loud enough for the person on the other side to hear.
The door opened, and a tall black haired man entered. One of his eyes was covered with a headband, but the other one was visible, showing a blue orb. He was a demon named Jim, and he was Jehu's general.
Jehu stared at Jim, seemingly annoyed. "What do you want?"
Jim grinned at him, clearly amused by his annoyance. "Our scouts reported that Aknamon's army was getting closer and closer from a small village near the forest of the south."
Jehu growled. Aknamon was the most mysterious of the leaders. He never had attacked Jehu's army once, but reports had revealed that all the other leaders had been defeated at least once by him. The orange eyed demon now feared he would finally strike, and he was nervous, because he didn't know anything about him and his army, except they seemed powerful.
"Well, I want more soldiers posted there, and tell Asuka to create a portal to the village."
"Got it!" Jim rushed out the room, leaving his annoyed king alone again.
Jehu sighed. He had wished trouble would leave him alone a little, but apparently it was too much to ask. He was glad his sorceress, Asuka, could make portals between his castle and any place she knew the location. It was very helpful.
Jehu stretched his arms. If Aknamon wanted a fight, he would give him one.
Cold gold eyes watched as his army was marching forward. Aknamon was very proud of his army, and he had decided to show this pride to the so-called 'king'. Aknamon despised Jehu with all his black heart; he hated how he was so kind. It was like a poison the blue-haired man was spraying on all hell. How could he teach kindness on demons? He should only think of war and destruction! For the dark brown haired leader, he was just a coward. Sadly, a strong coward with charisma.
"Honey... can't we stop a little? Judai is so tired..."
Aknamon turned halfway to see his wife, Isis, and his son, Judai. Isis was a beautiful demoness, with long light brown hairs, and honey brown eyes. Judai had the dark brown hairs of his father, but with a lighter shade on top, the same color as his mother. His eyes were chocolate brown, sometimes honey brown. He was a cute young demon, around three. Currently, he was yawning, one hand in front of his mouth, the other gripping his mother's hand.
Aknamon sneered at his son. "What a leader you will be if you can't stay awake for days..."
Judai pouted at his father, half-asleep. "But it had been four days since we started walking!"
Aknamon glared, and he was going to blow up on his son, when Isis picked the little boy in her arms. "Well, don't worry sweetheart, mommy gonna walk for you."
Judai whined. "No mommy! I don't want you to be tired..." He yawned again, and he couldn't help but snuggle in his mother's arms.
Isis chuckled. "Don't worry, my little angel..." She kissed his forehead, and he finally fell asleep.
The brown haired woman looked at her husband, who was angry. She bowed to him, and left quickly. When she was far enough, she sighed in relief. She hated how he was so cold-hearted! The only thing that mattered for him was power, and war. And he wanted Judai to be like him. But Isis had made the vow to protect her son from this path. The truth was, she admired Jehu with all her heart, and she wished she could join his side, but she knew Aknamon would kill her and maybe Judai too if she tried. She didn't care what happened to her, hell she would gladly die for the true king of Hell, but Judai was most important. She wouldn't let her son die, or leave him alone.
The little boy moved in her arms, snuggling closer, listening to her heart. She smiled down at him, kissing the top of his head. Her pride was in his pure heart, unlike her husband. She would do anything to keep her son one of the rare innocent and pure demons. And to keep his beautiful smile on his face, this smile that was her sun.
Not too far from the village Aknamon wanted to attack, another army was camping. It was Giese's army, the last of the leaders. Giese was a sly and sick demon, who enjoyed to see suffering. Unlike the other leaders, he didn't plan to kill Jehu right away. He wanted to crush him until he wouldn't have the will to fight against him, and then Jehu would be his toy.
The night guard ran to him. Giese raised an eyebrow in wonder, and when the guard said Aknamon's army was advancing to the village, he smirked. He was going to have revenge from the defeat he suffered from the golden-eyed leader. And maybe he would keep his wife and son, they were indeed gorgeous.
Giese's smirk widened. With both Jehu and Aknamon ready to start a fight, as well as being unaware that Giese was here, the red haired leader would have some fun tomorrow...
To be continued...
