Chapter 2: Emptiness
Blood gushed from the body of the fallen demon before him. A small smile of satisfaction came upon his face, not reaching his blank, glass-like eyes. He swung his sword and the blood that had been dripping off the end landed with a small 'splish' on the rotted earth. He turned and walked away once again emotionless, tattered clothes flowing slightly in the wind, the all too familiar scent of sulfur filling the noses of all who breathed it.
The world around him was dark. The sky held a reddish hue. Despair filled the air with the never ending wails of those that had Fallen. Angels. Now Demons. In constant torment. There was no life, only death brought by the flames that haunted the world's darkest nightmares.
He was fire. The fire was him. One with flame and sword.
The world in which he lived was compassionless. No one to judge your actions. Godless. Forsaken. This is how he treated the whole world.
There was a god though, the god of Gehenna, Satan. A fallen angel himself, Lucifer, the one who bears light. His light has now turned to fire, a flaming hatred for all that is good.
His goal? Make Assiah fall, just as he Fell, to burn it to ashes.
The key? His son, born of a human woman. His son whom he could not control. The flames that constantly burned made him unreachable. Something was missing. Something had gone wrong.
'The other. Could he be the key to what I need?'
"Rin."
"Yes." The boy appeared before the looming flame shrouded figure that is Satan.
The room was the blue flame itself, made only for those of Satan himself.
"I desire something from Assiah. A Okumura Yukio. I want him brought here alive."
"I understand Father." Rin said before vanishing again.
Rin did not remember his human life. Years filled with blood and destruction wiped out all that was happy from him. Without this he was a shell, stuck in a cycle of devastation to himself and all that he touched.
Isolated was he.
