So, hi there... this is my very first Fan Fiction and I'd like to hear everyone's opinion, but please, no unwanted comments like "Oh god, this sucks so bad" (constructive criticism is welcome as well :)). So, anyway, please enjoy the Prologue and I will post the first chapter whenever I get it done! Have a nice day~!

The Devil's Daughter

~ Prologue ~

- 16 Years Ago -

"Master, she has arrived."

"The child?" he hissed quietly, glancing up to face the slithering serpent demon. The King of Gehenna smiled, revealing his razor-sharp fangs hidden beneath his handsome face. The form he assumed was that of a white-haired man with fire-blue eyes and pale, snowy-like skin. He stood and strode down to the demon, his smile growing slightly. "Take me to her immediately."

The demon slithered away and led the King through the narrow ink-black halls of the palace, slithering into a small room which held a small child releasing spurts of blue flame when she cried out. She opened her eyes to stare up at the King of Gehenna, big blue eyes staring intently into his eyes. A gaze so intense and forceful that he was forced to look away and inhale a breath he had been holding. "I want you to summon Amaimon immediately. Tell him he has a little sister to take care of while I take care of issues that need tending to in Assiah. Go, now."

The demon nodded quickly and was gone in a flash. The King of Gehenna picked up the small child and glanced over at the dead woman sizzling in the corner of the room. It smelt horrible. "It seems you have a sharp temper, little flame," he whispered and grinned. "Perfect."

The small baby reached out to pull on his hair and he gasped sharply at the strength she possessed. Gently prying her fingers from his hair and playing with them, he wrapped the baby in a black blanket and rocked her back and forth, humming softly. Checking to make sure no one was in ear's reach, he began to sing to her softly, calming the blue flames which flickered over the corpse's body and room. They died out and simmered away, leaving only the blue candlelight shining over the baby's face. Placing the whimpering child in her crib, the King of Gehenna turned to see the Earth King Amaimon staring at him.

"Good evening, Father," Amaimon said, blinking slowly. "Why did you summon me here?"

"I have an important task for you, Amaimon."

"What is it?"

"This child is extremely important. I want you to take care of her if I am not here to do so, do you understand."

"Of course… but…"

"What is it?"

"Are you telling me to babysit an ignorant child?"

"Precisely. Is there a problem with that?"

Amaimon lifted his clawed hands in submission. "Of course not. I'm just making an observation, Father."

He sighed. "All of my children are so damn stubborn it irritates me to tears. Now. Take care of the child until I return."

"Has she been named as yet?"

"Time is short; you come up with a name."

Then he was gone. Amaimon looked down at the sleeping baby and frowned. "Time is short? Huh… Time… Tempus! Tempus, you're going to be short, okay?"

The baby made a strange gurgling sound and Amaimon titled his head, trying to make sense of the sound. "Tempus, your language doesn't make any sense. Can you speak clearer?" When Tempus made more gurgling noises, a frown appeared on Amaimon's face and he tsked before scooping Tempus up and throwing her gently. Summoning a simple vine to catch her, Tempus giggled and waved her arms around, trying to grasp ahold of the small leaves.

"You're a strange creature, Tempus," Amaimon muttered and put her back down. Quickly exhausted by her small adventure, Tempus closed her eyes and fell to sleep immediately. Curious, Amaimon leant over the crib and watched her sleep. "A very strange creature, indeed…"

So there is it, the very short prologue! Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed yourself. Bye~!
