Deep in the demon realm, the demon king sits on his throne, guards posed behind the throne and at the door infront, dark brown skin, his dark purple hair falling down his back, two horns standing at the side of his head, long and majestic they, their jet black color giving out a domineering atmosphere.
The demon king wears a cloth that looks more like a royal robe than an Armour. In his hand sits a crystal, he watches what the crystal displayed letting out an amused smirk.
"Bring my son" he ordered to a guard behind the throne, not bothering to turn his gaze from whatever was displayed on the crystal. The guard flinched, running awkwardly out of the throne room, using the side door ment for the guards.
Minutes later, Vilthrax walks through the main door, his facial expression bored and annoyed, dragging his body lazily to the feet of the throne, bowed with one knee, lowering his gaze to the embroidery on the red carpet.
"You summoned me my king." his voice brimming with annoyance.
Casting a glance at Vilthrax, the demon king took another glance at the orb, then tossed it at the prince. His voice exerting pressure on the room, the guards struggling to breath, the weaker ones falling unconscious, " Bring me this boy, failure won't be tolerated" he spoke, his gazed fixed at his son picking up the orb to look at the boy in it
Pale skin, silver hair and golden eyes, he looks young, he should be around ten or so.
What does this man take me for, sending me to kidnap some random kid. As if I'll fail
"I understand" he scoffed, walking out in the same manner he had came, stopping right at the door as the guards made way for him to pass. He tilted his head so he could see the king from the corner of his eyes "And where do you suppose I find him"
"In the the forest of Veldia, at the borders to the human realm"
Vilthrax, sits on the branch of a tree, after coating his twin daggers in a lethal toxin, looking towards a cliff before he jumped down from the branch, and landed beside a penthria.
"Alright, you know plan" the beast let's out a purr as Vilthax pats it head "You go out there and lure the boy here, you got that" the beast nodded running towards the place where he had pointed.
Some time later after the penthria took off, an explosion could be heard coming from the forest, sounds of metal clashing followed after.
Isn't he not a kid, he can he hold his own against a penthria. Just what the hell did that old man sent me to capture.
Calm down and think, there's no way that kid can fend off its attack without being severely injured. Cutting his though short, Vilthrax saw the beast running back as planned, but something was off, the beast seems to be afraid of what was chasing it.
Kyle didn't noticed the man standing, his thoughts preoccupied with killing that damn beast that had injured him.
Seeing the beast bleeding and a broken leg, Vilthrax threw the twin daggers at Kyle before he could land the finishing blow. Having blocked one, Kyle groaned when the other one left a deep scar on his back, causing him to loose balance.
The poison should start taking effect now, he won't be able to move anytime soon. Vilthrax thought patting the beast. "You did well" he said turning to Kyle who was using his sword as support. What the hell, how's he still able to move, masking his surprise, taking a slight bow to buy some time for the poison to take effect, "Where are my manners, my name is Vilthrax" he said in a care free tone, before Vilthrax could raise his head, Kyle spat at blood, looking at his blood stained hand with horror before fall on his knees struggling to breath, "lf your wondering what's going on, that's the poison taking effect on you" trying to suppress his joy "Don't bother, in a few minutes you'll become paralyzed", before he could finish, Kyle got up, switching this stance to offensive, his back against the cliff. Feeling the pressure of his bloodlust, Vilthrax knew that a battle was inevitable.
Removing his daggers to parry Kyle's attack, pushing him back, he gave the beast a signal to attack Kyle's side. Kyle couldn't dodge the attack, so instead he conjured an earth slab, slamming it at the beast.
Vilthrax surprised that Kyle could cast magic several meters away from him, lost focus for a bit, giving Kyle the chance to leave a scar on his left shoulder
Kyle, disengaged, jumping back a little to catch his breath. Severely weakened by the poison, he didn't think he could keep this all for long. He had to end this quickly. Dodging a dagger that flew past his chest before deflecting the other, he turned towards the demon, his voice cold and threatening "Do you think that trick would work again"
"No I don't" the demon retorted pointing behind Kyle, it was too late as Kyle could not dodge the daggers, one severing his sword arm, while the other leaving a deep cut on his ankle.
Falling to his knees from the weight of the penthria's strike, he thought
Was this the end, was he going to die now. Forcing his body for one more counter he was brought back down by a dagger that had pierced his chest, the poison taking full effect. He coughed blood, raising his head to meet the demons gaze
"Screw, taking you alive, you're too much of a threat to be kept alive" the demon siad, grabbing the hand Kyle had mangled.
Gritting his teeth, Kyle spoke, his voice filled with bloodlust that even Vilthax flinched, "Look at me well, engrave it into your memory, remember this face, this is the last face you'll see before your gruesome death"
Vilthax scoffed, pressing his leg down on Kyle's shoulder he whispered "Big talk for someone who's about to die" dragging the dagger out of Kyle's chest, he pushed Kyle's body down the cliff
As Kyle fell, he struggled to stay conscious, was this how it all ended, was he going to die. No, he refused to die, he didn't know how but he was going to survive, live and get stronger so he could exert his revenge
As if responding to his thoughts, dark flames burst from his chest consuming his body as it spread and just like that, Kyle vanished before his body could touch the ground beneath, leaving both Vilthax and Cerci surprised and confused
