At the Valiré
"What now?" uttered Lord Valixiur, seated at his throne, crossed legs.
"I made a bargain with that Amir guy, If I win he'll help me find the old man who holds the stone, If he wins I leave the village," Louison answered, head nodded.
"Then what happened next?" Lord Valixiur asked, licking his hands showered by blood.
"I almost defeated him, but —"
Before she finished her words, Lord Valixiur cut her off.
"But what?!" uttered in a deep tone devil-like sound and pinned his gaze at Louison.
"She was almost engulfed by my curse domain but then a luminous harsh light came out at my domain, it hit me and I unconsciously lost my consciousness. I just caught myself lying on the ground after that happened..."
"Light Magic, interesting!" He uttered, stood up, and teleported towards the Demon Children standing in front of him. Walked back-and-forth.
"Now I know why she managed to beat my fourth child. He's a light magic user. To tough to beat that kind of magic. It's unmatched by a poison curse and a clone magic of yours, Louison." He uttered and took a deathly cold gaze at Louison.
Walk forwards at Louison who was trembling. He arched his finger and caressed Louison's chin. Then forcedly lifted the chin, and faced him.
"Don't be scared. I understand you, Louison. You played smart, but did not outsmart his magic."
He puts his finger down and then flashes back at his throne, seated.
"Do better," He shortly added, referring to Louison.
"You still haven't found the stone, right?" He added.
No one bothered to answer.
"Since no one bothers to answer me, then I guess it's a yes. You still haven't found that old man." He said.
He stood up from the throne and walked down the stairs.
"Demon Knights and even the mobs are doing a good work, by conquering the other domain and devouring flesh, even though they are not immune to daylight. Yet, my children, who are far stronger than them and were immune to sunlight couldn't do better on their work! Tsk! tsk! tsk! How pathetic!" He added, deep sighing.
The Demon Children were silenced.
"You know what, I realized something. Let's make a bit changes. I'm going to split the missions for you to do better and make it easier for us to achieve our goals. I'm going to rewrite the schemes," He said.
"Omu Magre and Emmidi..."
"Yes, Lord Val!" Uttered in sync.
"The two of you, I assigned you to find that so-called Offspring of Power and kill them. Their just mere humans, so, I expect that you can easily destroy them. Understand?" He demanded.
"Yes, Lord Val!" Uttered in sync.
"Now, go! Right now!" He added.
The two nodded and hurriedly left the hall. To proceed with their mission.
"Louison and Corpiones, you find that old man and kill him. Don't forget that blue stone. Get that one!"
They nodded and did the same. Leave the hall and do their mission.
Moment of silence as the two oldest were left together with Lord Val. The atmosphere's getting colder and tense. While the two remain standing straight and heads down, Lord Val is just sitting with crossed legs, arms over his chest, and leaning over at his throne, menacingly smiling.
"Heads up!" He commanded.
The two followed.
"It's so glad to watch the two of you standing there, I barely see you together, you always keep your distance from each other, and now..."
He sighed.
"...Oh, If ever my third child was just standing there, it would be majestic..."
"Two of my three strongest children. Kali and Abbadon, I'll give you the task, as usual, find Sha Anib, once you do, bring me here and I'll be the one who will behead him. Then after that, once again I said...we will rule the Alvenrass,"
He uttered. Then gave Kali and Abbadon a gaze, and left the hall.
Lord Valixiur was seated on its throne for the whole time, in a pitch-dark hall, he was humming.
...
"Valixiur, I created you because you only wanted to take revenge for Sha Anib."
"But you created Valiré to destroy the Alvenrass and own this world. I'm just helping you. We will take this world,"
"I created Valiré to spread darkness around the Alvenrass, to create a balance between peace and war, light and darkness, salvation and destruction, love, and hatred. Don't twist my words, Valixiur! "
"Everything was planned. Once I take the head of Sha Anib, take back my son, and kill all of the sorcerer's descendants, we will have the massive extinction of all entities in the Alvenrass,"
"Brave of you to assume that you could do that. You're weak, Valixiur! Go back to hell!"
"Shhh! Quiet! Everything is planned,"
...
Century years ago.
"I will win."
"If you beat me, then you'll win."
"Easy,"
Playfully laughing, as the two kids happily play at the playground. Suddenly, the ground trembled.
"What's that?
"I don't know. Maybe, an earthquake."
"It's not an earthquake,"
"Why'd you say so? It's just a typical ground shake, come on, catch me if you can!"
He tried to catch up with his playmate, running and reaching the rear of his friend. Then, a stronger tremble of ground occurred. Dividing the ground into two parts, created a large hole between. Accidentally, he slipped on something near the edge and fell, luckily, he grabbed onto to root that peeked out on the ground. He screamed for help.
"Wahhh! Help me!"
He peeked below and saw the depth of darkness. Screamed again, hoping that someone could hear him.
"Hold my hand!" uttered someone. As he held his hand. The kid grabbed it, and he tried to pull him up but it took two people to hold him up.
"Argh! You're too heavy!" grunted his playmate.
The ground continues to tremble. Hands slowly gliding.

"I can't take it any longer, Valentine!" His playmate uttered as hands almost slipped away.
Valentine tried to pull himself up from the edge. Suddenly, he saw in his peripheral vision that someone was watching over them amid danger. He took his gaze at him and saw in Valentine's face that he pleaded to help his playmate pull him up.
"Help us, Please!" Valentine pleads. Tears drop off its cheeks.
"Sha Anib! Help me pull Valentine! Hurry!" Valentine's playmate uttered begging for help from Sha Anib.
Meanwhile, Sha Anib just gazes at them. Hands slipped away and fell from the depth of darkness. Helpless, hopeless, and mad, his playmate is unable to save him because he lacks the manpower to hold him up while Sha Anib who was there looking at them, did nothing, might probably have saved Valentine if he cared for them.
...
In the darkness.
"Where am I? Hello? Anybody there?" Valentine uttered, amidst darkness and no visibility to him.
"Help!" Valentine cried out.
"No one will help you out!" uttered a deep voice in the darkness.
"Who are you? I can't see!" Valentine said.
Then a fire suddenly emerged around serving as the light in darkness.
"Where are you?"
"You can't see me, kid!"
"Am I below the ground?"
"Yes, you are,"
"In hell?"
"Yes, kid!"
"Then why is it not hot in here? Where's the lake of fire?"
"You believe in that? There's no such thing as hot or lake of fire, kid. Hell is where those people believe in darkness. Who believes in destruction, death, revenge, war, and evil."
"But, I don't believe those things!" Valentine uttered.
"But now you do, now, what do you want? The voice replied.
"What do I want? Is this a wish?"
"Sort of. Tell me what you want?"
Valentine caressed his chin, thinking of something.
"I want to go back there at Haiyan!" Valentine request.
"I can bring you back to Alvenrass but not from Haiyan."
"Why? Where?"
"Remember what happened to you before you came here?"
"Yes, I fell because my friend wasn't able to save me. But he tried, I don't have hard feelings for him. Except for Sha Anib, I saw him there but he didn't help us. He just watches me fall from here. I hate him!"
Valentine uttered.
"What do you want to do from him?"
"I want to punch him! I want to beat him when I get up there!"
"So, you want revenge?"
"Yes! I want revenge from Sha Anib! I shouldn't be here in the first place if he just helped me and my friend!"
"I will grant you that, you'll revenge on Sha Anib. But in exchange, I'm going to make you the King of Valiré. You'll be the King of my kingdom and you will revenge Sha Anib."
"A King? I'll be a King!?" Valentine uttered in excitement.
"Yes, kid. Then I will grant you a power that could help you revenge on Sha Anib and lead the Kingdom of Valiré, you can do everything you want!"
"That would be great!" He uttered, excitedly.
"But, there's one more thing I wanted to say..."
"What is it?"
"Once you go up there, the moment that you already have my kingdom and power. The light will start to hate you. You can't go out when there's sun, you only can if it's night."
Valentine felt saddened as soon as heard that his wishes had consequences. The voice immediately comforted him.
"Don't be sad, You can still avenge him because you're a King now with supernatural powers. You will have my Kingdom Valiré, kid! You can do whatever you want there!"
"Really?"
"Yes, you'll be respected and feared by everyone. Except, that the light will hate you."
"Then, I will! I'll accept it!" Valentine uttered confidently.
...
"All hail to the King!" uttered demons, worshipping the kid.
"All hail to the King!" kneeling in front of the young Valentine.
The kid entered the dark hall after the recognition he received outside the Palace. Every time he steps in, a fire ignites at the lamp. He was amazed by it.
"Is this my power?" Valentine uttered.
"There's more to it, Valentine!"
"Hmmm, this is fun!" He uttered delighted.
"Yeah, it'll be. You're still young and you have more to learn. You will be the one to keep the balance here in the Alvenrass. You will be the equilibrium of this world's entire law and order,"
"Can I play with fire?" Valentine asked.
"Yes, go play with fire!"
Valentine excitedly rushed forward to the fire and played with it.
"Valentine is your name, right?"
"Yeah!" Valentine uttered playing with fire, tossing and bouncing it like a ball.
"...and it means love, right?"
"Yes, why?" attention was on the ball of fire.
"That's your human name, now that you're different, let's change it. So that no human could know the real you. You need to keep hidden, especially that you will avenge Sha Anib, right?"
"You're right!" Valentine uttered.
"So what will be your name?"
Valentine directly responded.
"Valixiur. My name is Valixiur!" He uttered. Then slowly, Valentine started transforming, with sharp teeth, pale porcelain skin, and raven sclera; a red iris and a black dilating pupil started emerging. He took his gaze at the throne, and in the blink of an eye, he teleported to the throne, seated. From an innocent child, now became the demon king of Valiré who seeks to avenge Sha Anib.
"I am Lord Valixiur!" from a young tone before, now, turns into a growling deep tone like a demon.
- END.
