Chapter 1 - Chapter 001: The Beginning

Five thousand years ago.

Without notice the demons weighed war on the mortal realm led by a powerful demon, called the Demon King. Countless cities and kingdoms fell from the demon attack. The demons enslaved the weaker mortals and killed the stronger ones. Nobody knew why the demons would weigh war at the mortal realm as the two place have never been at odds with each even once.

Many of the armies of the mortal realm combine their forces to battle the Demon King and his army. The forces included the elves, dwarves, giants, beast folks and many other races as well that lived in the mortal realm. The war between the demons was not easy as many powerful warriors fell through the struggle to defeat the demons.

The demons had strength and powers that far surpassed any of the races living in the mortal realm including the humans also. To others it was becoming almost a lucid dream for them to beat the Demon King and his army. Reality started to sink in for all of them who knew that the Demon King was far stronger than the demon soldiers they were struggling with. The Demon King had so much power that he could strong entire kingdoms with the swing of his hand. The soldiers who worked below him were no exception, as they possessed enough power to strong cities on there own.

The mortal realm armystood no chance against the powerful demon army, even with the Demon King not entering the battlefield. Many lives were taken by the demons weapons through the endless battles. The demons victory was confirmed.

As the demon winning every encounter with the mortal realm army, a mysterious group of arrived calling themselves the Knights of Dawn, they joined up with the mortal realm army pushing the demon army back.

The Knights of Dawn were group of four powerful individual demons called the four Demon Lords. The four Demon Lords were the four rulers of the demon race. They represented the different races of demons inside the demon realm. The four Demon Lords were second in power to the Demon King. If anyone could be able to defeat the Demon King it could be the four Demon Lords.

Due to the Demon King weighing war onto the mortal realm, the Demon Lords did not want to weigh war on the mortal realm. The Demon Lords joined up with the mortal realm army to stop the Demon King from coursing more chaos than he should. His war would give a bad name to the demon race. The four Demon Lords were not fighting their own selfish reasons, but they were fighting for the respect of their race.

Even if facing the Demon King in battle they would not be able to do much due to the Demon King having power that surpassed the four of them, the Demon King stood much higher rank than all of the four Demon Lords combined.

Until another force joined battlefield fighting amongst the Knights of Dawn. There were seven individuals, they were the primordial demons known as the Seven Fallen-kings. The Seven Fallen-kings were the first demons to ever existed, even the Demon King was created by them like the other demons also. They dwell in the deepest parts of Tartarus. There powers and abilities were far surpassing anything or anyone the Demon King, only in one a million a demons could be born to rival their powers and abilities.

The Demon King knew he did not stand a chance when all of the Seven Fallen-kings joined the battlefield. Even with him being powerful he could only take on three or four of the Seven Fallen-kings, he'll easily be defeated by the all of them together. The war shifted for the better for the Knights of Dawn.

The Seven Fallen-kings work along side the four Demon Lords. Despite the Demon King being their creation his power prove to be too much for one to held him all of the Seven Fallen-kings fought him together. The Demon King was defeated by the Seven Fallen-kings and imprisoned beneath Tartarus, he as to be guarded by them for all of his existed.

The four Demon Lords who led the four demon clans, they were the four races of demons in the demon realm. There were the Kimaris of the Vampire-demons, the Mephistopheles clan of the Shadow-demons, the Abraxas clan of the Inferno-demons and the Naberius clan of the Demon-wolves.

After the battle against the Demon King was won, seeing the demons leadership was falling apart without the guidance from the former the Demon King. The leader of the Seven Fallen-kings sort the demons should chose among themselves a new Demon King. The demon created a tournament were each of them will show off their powers and skills to seek the prefect candidate to be the new Demon King. 

Five thousand years later, on the northern side of the kingdom of Eden located inside the mortal realm. A loud scream could be heard coming from inside the forest n at to the city walls. Small footsteps could be slightly heard running through the dark forest.

A young girl was running through the forest chased by a figure wearing a black cloak. The figure moved through the shadows of the trees chasing after the young girl. The young girl had long dark hair and dark blue eyes. She wore a long sky blue dress, with slight cream of white at the corners and white shoes. The dress was covered a stain of blood next to her chest area and her shoes were covered with mud.

The shadowy figure moved around the trees following the girl. For a moment it has seemed that the figure following her had given up on her, the young girl stop to look back behind her to see if the figure was still chasing her she saw that the figure was nowhere to be find thinking that she in the safe. She turned her head forward to see the figure in front her, the figure grabbed the girl by her neck lifting her off the ground as she struggle with setting herself free.

Tears begun flow from her eyes as the girl knew that she was about to die, as her tears fell down towards ground she tried gaping for air with her mouth. She struggle by tightly gripping the black figure arm. She slowly started to give up as her grip begun to fall down, in seconds after her body stood lifeless swinging on the air. The figure dropped her lifeless body on the ground, then vanish into the shadows of the forest.

The demon realm.

Through the vast volcanic reign called, Burning Rock Mountain. The clouds were covered red with the colour of the volcano. The Burning Rock Mountain reign was a land streaming with burning lava flowing down hill.

Located on the top surface of Burning Rock Mountain was a majestic city surrounded by lava all round. The city was the home of the demon-wolves called, Araboth. The city of Araboth was one of the most famous cities in the demon realm as it where the demon lord of the demon-wolves lived. 

Inside the Demon Lords of the Naberius residence.

"Mom, mom!!"

A young boy with golden blonde hair and yellow demonic eyes. Wearing a grey shirt and dark blue pants. The young boy name was Black Naberius. He was the eldest son of the Demon Lord of the demon-wolves.

"I'm at the kitchen!" A voice utter back coming from the kitchen direstion.

Black abruptly walked inside the kitchen. He saw a woman who had scarlet red hair and yellow demonic eyes. She wore elegant long purple dress, with flowers covering it all around. She had long slender legs showing below were her dress did not cover. The woman name was Hayley Naberius. She was Black mother.

Hayley turned her face at Black side.

As he was walking inside lack paused walking towards her side, his nose caught a delightful aroma through the air. He started drooling through his mouth; The delicious aroma came from inside the store. As inside the store was a receipt of hell-berry loaf. The aroma of the loaf coursed Black momentary stand there at the door. The dish that was being prepared was his favourite since as a young kid. 

"What did you want?" Hayley asked.

"Mom, have you seen father?" Black immediately returned to his right mind asking.

"Oh sorry, he already left for the demon king castle moments ago," Hayley said looking at Black. Black furrowed his eyebrows as if he was confused.

"Why do you seem so surprised by this?" Hayley asked with a curious expression.

"I... I am fine. It kinder caught me off guard when you said father went to the demon king castle, thats why I was surprised," Black spoke with a soft voice.

 

"Whats surprising about me stating that, your father had visited the demon king castle many times now?" Hayley asked.

 

"It that father told me not to go anywhere today because he had a important task for me to do. And today I was support to visit Ladros house. We have an important project to finish for the school. I only did not allow myself to go due to father asking me not to go, now he is the one who's not here." Black said with a frown expression.

"I am sorry from your father behalf. I am sure he did not mean to disappoint you here. He was suddenly called for an important summoning to the demon king castle. He could not stay back as he is the demon lord." Hayley started walking over to Black side, covering her arms over his body giving him a hug.

 Black took the hug from his mother, but he still felt weird about it all as he was now old to be treated like a child. "You know I will be turning eighteen in a couple of months, and you are still treating me like a small child. This has to end when I turn eighteen mom!" Hayley grabbed both of his cheeks tightly pinching them with her fingers.

"You can grow up as much as you like, but you will always be my little baby to me," Hayley made adorable faces at Black side. "I think you should go with your father next time when he is summoned to the demon king castle again. Does that sound better to you?"

Black widened his eyes in surprised, he wondered if he heard her correctly. "What did you just say?"

"I said you should go with your father next time to the demon king castle. What's wrong with your hearing, are your ears fine or what!?" Hayley said grabbing both Black ears with her both hands.

"Are you sure I should come with him to the demon king castle mom? What if father does not let me go with him at all there? There are important people he will be seating with there."

"Important like who, those other demon lords. You should never be afraid of been surrounded by them, because one you will have to seat among them as the next Demon Lord of the demon-wolves," Hayley stated with a firm tone. Black widened his expression caught by surprise by his mother words.

Hayley looked at Black in confusion on why he was surprised by her words.

I have to refuse that offer. I don't want to be the demon lord," said Black. Hayley frowned her expression confused by Black words.

"Why would you refuse to be the next Demon Lord?" Hayley looked at Black with hard glared.

Black blankly stared with a bored expression, he replied looking at Hayley, "To be the Demon Lord sound cool for others not to judge, but it doesn't feel to me, mom." 

"You are the first born and his successor. Your father does not have anybody else to choose for this it you, who has to be the next Demon Lord and leader of the Naberius clan."

Black casually smirked looking aside. "I am sorry mom, but don't want to becoming the Demon Lord of the demon-wolves or anyone else. I want to become the Demon King." He firm his chin up declaring to be the next Demon King in front of his mother. Hayley halt for a moment then slightly smiled. 

"The Demon King. You are refusing to become the next Demon Lord just to be Demon King? What is the different between the two? They appear to be similar to me, huh?" Hayley asked looked a bit confused. She caught confused by Black suggestion to become the Demon King instead of being Demon Lord.

"No mom. They are completely different titles in tiring. Being the Demon Lord is boring and laze at most, I see father throughout out the day doing nothing important or meaningful. But the Demon King's is cool and strong, he goes around saving the demon realm, an he does not want people to worship him." Black continued admiring the Demon King. Hayley saw that his reason were true for some so far. 

"So you only want fame from being the Demon King?" Lydia blankly asked looking at Black. Black shook his head he refuse to be worshipped by the people, and take use when he is the Demon King.

"What's more important than people fearing you and worshipping me?" Black asked his mother.

"To be both." replied Hayley. 

Black shook his head saying, "Its to be feared." Hayley denied his answer also. She thought the Demon King should not just be fear like a monster. Fear doesn't build allies or friends, but it only inspire anger and hatred. The Demon King must not be feared by the people it trying to leader. 

"Who told you that the Demon Lord have no important work duets to perform. Your father is one's of those important people who make the peace inside the realm, and your reason to become the Demon King is power and strength not the good of the people. Being the Demon King is more than you think, its not about power and famous, it about protecting those who can not protect themselves," Hayley stated with firm expression. 

"Yeah, that's the problem with you old folks. Father and the other Demon Lords are keeping the in their own reigns not the realm, al the Demon Lords never thought about helping one another, but the Demon King does all of that. How can they keep the demon realm at peaceful when there's nothing to protect," Black said with serious tone.

"Hey, wait a bit there, your father whom you're speaking about like this is well respect by others for his strength and power. You should not speak lightly about your own father," said Hayley. Black sneered looking with a slight grin.

'I don not know what she sees in Demon Lords, there just lazing and uncool monotonous. Even she strong enough to hold her own with the Demon Lords, but the Demon King it something else there. To be the Demon King would raise my standing all around the demon realm and everyone would fear my name in tiring.' Black silently thought of himself as the Demon King. The title of Demon King was one every demon sort to obtain. 

"I've never seen anything cool or exciting about father being the Demon Lord. He like any other ordinary demon just like the rest of demons," Black muttered.

"Aa, aah!!" A loud scream was heard coming from Issac room. Black sneered looking away towards the side.

"That fool is awake."

"That's coming from Issac room. Maybe my boy is having a nightmare," Hayley looking upward. 

Issac Naberius was the younger brother Black. He had dark hair and golden yellow eyes.

Black frowned his expression when Hayley asked him to check up on him. He did not hate his brother, but acted like any other siblings would at his place. He and Issac appeared friendly on the outside but enemies when there inside the walls of the mansion. Issac was seen as the cool and popular big brother, with everyone praising him for great work, and Isaac was the short tempered little brother, but he becomes intelligent when dealing with hard problems.

"Mom, I think precious son has woke up again," Black said, looking irritated.

Hayley gave a short smile, rushing upstairs, she walked inside of Issac room finding him laying down at the corner of bed. She picked him off the floor, laying him on the bed, she felt his hands were cold, and she then rubbed her hands with his.

"My dear boy, what's happened?" Hayley asked looking puzzled.

Issac pulled up his blanket, covering it in his face, "M...mom, get out of here now before it burns you," said Issac, shaking with fear inside his blanket.

"What will burn me dear? There's nothing here," She stated with a puzzled facial expression.

"You're lying! There's fire everywhere!!" Isaac shout.

"Look out now and see there's no fire here, just look Issac," Hayley spoke.

Issac slowly pulled down the blanket away, realizing the was no fire."Where did it all go?" He asked himself, looking shock.

"I didn't see any fire here," Hayley stated .

Issac face looked confused, Hayley hugged him, "It was just a dream my boy."

Suddenly, Issac had flashbacks of his dream, he was standing to a old temple that was abandoned, and he was surrounded by a large fire, he then saw a large figure of a wolf walking towards him.

"It felt so real, ohh it was a dream," said Issac.

"Hey tell me about your dream if it was that scary to have woke you up like that," said Hayley.

Issac puffed his cheeks, "I was not scared. I was standing outside a small temple, that looked every old, in all the sudden I was inside it, and was surrounded by fire, the flames of the fire looked similar to hellfire, and then a large figure slowly approach me, but I woke up quick before I could see him."

'Huh! How can this be possible, he's still so young. I shouldn't be showing now.'

Hayley mind began to wonder away, thinking that Isaac was too young to awaken in his young age, it was the awaken of Issac to be able to use his Hellfire. Hellfire was an ability that only the demon-wolves can use, they realised strong flame in their mouths and hands that could burn anything, depending on how powerful the opponent is.

Isaac looked up puzzled at Hayley, "What's wrong mom?" He asked. Hayley hug and kissed his forehead.

"Nothing is wrong dear, you just had a bad nightmare, alright. Go back to sleep now we'll talk about it tomorrow, okay dear."
