Unkown location, Northern Continent, Earth *** A slender young lady, on her mid-twenties, wore only a loose shirt and tattered jeans amidst the coldest season of the north side of the planet. The heart-shaped beautiful face she had, deceptive enough to lure men into admiration. She sat on a high rock, above a hill on the edge of a steep cliff where below was a deadly and rocky chasm covered in ice cold snow. She squatted on the rock, her back slouched, leveraged by her slender hands behind her. The cold wind continuously caressing her body, her cheeks felt shivers and her eyes had stood strong against the blinding chill of the harsh and sharp breeze. She trained her eyes to the patch of forest blanketed in snow, and the dark gray overcast, thick clouds covering the shy sunlight, and the treacherous valley that strewn below the hill. “You must miss Hell,” A voice loomed behind her. She glanced over her shoulder and smiled to the man who wore a business suit. “I might be. But I sta

Buratia Outskirts, Northern Continents, Earth *** Startled, every military officer in the outpost also raised their guns toward the group. Sho, Dreygo, Viriel, and Elaine, raised their hands in the air. Dreygo’s heart started to thump hard, not for his safety but for Elaine’s. Heavy perspiration had loomed on his forehead, leaking down to his cheeks. Even with the cold wind, he felt wary and agitated. He was ready to attack them, planning to snap their necks instantly to give them no time for retaliation. He replayed several scenarios in his mind and the urge was strong to execute. But Viriel had somewhat been communicating in his mind, calming him, battling the demon to stay still and let the angel do the talking instead. No deaths. No harm. Easy. Suddenly, deep within his consciousness, he sensed a demonic presence. It was not one of the military officers, that was for sure. But Dreygo could not shake the familiarity of the aura that it was a demon. Stronger than humanoid demons

Buratia Outskirts, Earth *** “You cannot defeat me, Dreygo. I control humans and you are not supposed to kill them. So, my weapon is my advantage. Now, how can you handle this situation?” Lust mused from behind as Dreygo turned his back to the table to watch Sho aiming the gun at him. Viriel slowly reached his hand and softly touched Sho’s left shoulder. The black eyes Sho had, turned gradually to normal. His hand that held the gun was shaken from the confusion he just had. Sho had this frantic expression of the uncontrollable he just made, and Viriel seemed to have tried to nullify the mind control that Lust conjured. His face retched in difficulty, sometimes groaning for a strength that was futile for his control. Fortunately, Viriel was present, guiding him to succumb to Lust's control. “That is why I love angels, like you Viriel. You surprised me there. You are trying to nullify my power with yours but, unfortunately, you can’t surpass this ability. I am designed to manipulate

Metals clanking as the chosen demons who wore war armor and with their respective weapons, swords, axes, spears, and the like, with their shields were now heaving the center of the clearing. They were mentally energizing not only themselves but also the crowd, making the festivities more entertaining. Dreygo saw them as warriors, or the courageous ones. But he knew, hidden in them was fear for they were facing the most favored Harbinger of Lith. Fighting these aspiring demon warriors was just like a walk in the park. He remembered this day. It was his first Muerto Festival. He seemed to know what to do and the proceedings of the festival. He saw all the menacing eyes looking at him from the sea of crowd, waiting for him to come down from the rock where he stood or a pedestal of some sort. The feeling was real, the heat was real, and everything in it was real. He was still battling if this episode was a dream. Even the discomfort provided by the Hell environment and the happenings

Dream: Lith *** “It’s not a dream, Demon!” A soft voice came from behind. Startled, he turned and saw Lust. Her eyes were a constant banner of deception. Her charm and powers laid waste to countless demons, capable of ending civilizations for days. “I am not here,” Dreygo said confusingly. “I triggered your memories, through your dreams. I want you to remember.” Lust said as she sauntered towards the harbinger. “What do you mean?” He asked. He gave a quick turn to everyone else, as her eyes were piercing strong against his, and he saw death, blood, crying, and moaning in pain, hatred, and fear. “This will be Earth, if you chose the wrong decision. You know what it is.” She said. Her face was nearing his, inches away. Dreygo’s vision fell to the eyes of the Demon Lord and it was an endless stream of suffering. He could not speak as he witnessed the horrors that emanated from her eyes. His heart thumping hard abnormally strong. As if it was going to burst out from his chest. He cl
