It was cold. The demon stood looking at the sky. It was cold. Then again it was always cold. He was waiting to hear the news. He had been called, along with many others, to the throne room of Prince Mundus. He was standing in a cavern whose roof had fallen in. Around him there were dozens of demons. No one knew why they had been called. He doubted it was to be punished as he had never done anything to incur the wrath of the demon lord. A succubus suddenly appeared in the cavern. She glanced around at the various monsters, her eyes lingering on him. Finally, she said, 'The Lord Mundus summons you'. The demons slowly began to fie into the throne room, some seemed anxious, others apprehensive. As the demon was about to enter the throne room, the succubus whispered in is ear, 'Come see me…if you can'. He didn't have time to wonder about what she meant by 'if you can' as he heard the voice of Mundus.
'Welcome, welcome one and all'. Mundus stood in front of his throne. The demon was surprised by how small he was. He had expected a giant, yet Mundus was slightly under his own seven foot. Yet the aura of power coming from him was incredible. He noticed several demons backing back, trying to fade into the back ground. Mundus walked into the group. He observed his Prince as he walked. Mundus had armoured skin, which was in the form of an exoskeleton. He had four eyes, each of which glowed a different colour. He had no wings or tail. All in all, he seemed unimpressive….until he looked into the eyes of another demon. Then you could see the power. As he walked among his followers, he seemed to be watching some. Finally he returned to his throne and summoned the succubus to hi side. He whispered in her ear, she nodded and went among the crowd whispering to several. Any she talked to left the room. The demon watched as she moved closer. She stopped at him, smiled and whispered, 'Your no longer needed'. The demon looked at Mundus for a moment then quickly exited the room. He was the last to leave. A few moments after he had left the earth was suddenly rocked. The assembled demons looked at each other in shock, then turned as the succubus reappeared. 'Alright', she said, a sensual smile on her face, 'Lord Mundus will have you back'. The assembled beats returned to the throne room…..and were greeted by walls covered in blood. Organs were strewn across the floor and as the demon walked towards the throne, his foot crushed more then one skull. At the throne, the devils bowed to Mundus.
'Congratulations, my subjects, you have been selected to be my new Devil Knights'. Looking around him, Mundus laughed, 'You are fortunate, these are those who failed to meet my standards'. Mundus stood and walked up to the first demon, a large bird like creature. Mundus observed it for a moment and asked it what its name was. The bird pulled itself up and said, 'Griffon, former Devil Knight of your great father'. Mundus nodded approval and moved on. In this way, the demon learned the names of his new compatriots. Phantom, the spider whose blood was lava. Beowulf, a hulking beast with glowing spines on his back. Bolverk, a giant warrior who wielded a colossal sword and was accompanied by a pair of demon wolves. Necros, a creature that was nothing but shadow. Deinisus, a reptilian beast who had no eyes but whose head followed any movement. Furiataurus, a flaming horned monster And a burning warrior who called himself The Despair Embodied. Mundus then stood in front of the demon.
'And you, who are you?'
The demon kept his eyes turned down as he replied
'Sparda, my lord'
