1 Chapter 001: The Beginning

Five thousand years ago.

Without knowing the demons weighed war on the mortal realm, led by their leader the Demon King. Countless kingdoms and reigns fell from the Demon King conquest through the realm many were even destroyed by the demons. The demons enslaved the creatures of the places they conquered. To amuse themselves some took some as their play things, the demon were real monster's doing things that had no saying to the creatures of the mortal realm. No one knew why the demons decided to attack the mortal realm.

Many of the armies of the creatures of the mortal realm join together into one army to fight the Demon King and his demon army. The fight was not easy as the demons had strength and power that far surpassed the creatures of the mortal realm. To others it was like a faded dream that would one day happen to come to reality. Not just the demon army were powerful but the Demon King's was another story, he alone could wipe out reigns with one slap of his power. His army of demons one of the his soldier had the power to slaughter thousands. The mortal realm armies stood no chance against them, they would not be able to push them back. Many lives were taken in the battling the demon army, demons view the creatures of the mortal realm to be weak and beneath them in power standing.

Another group of rebels who called themselves the Knights of Dawn emerge to ally themselves with the armies of the mortal realm. The Knights of Dawn were led by a group of four powerful individual demons called the four Demon Lords. The four Demon Lords were the four monarch rulers of the demon race. There power and strength were second to the Demon King. If anyone could defeat the Demon King the four Demon Lords were the ones to make that happen.

Due to the Demon King weighing war onto the mortal realm many of the demons did not agree with his choice. That why the four Demon Lords are fighting amongst with the creatures of the mortal realm. 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, seeing the demons leadership falling apart without the guidance of the former Demon King. The leader of the Seven Fallen-kings witnessing how the demons have fallen apart without the Demon King, he created a tournament of power for the demon to chose a new Demon King. Every 300 years the tournament of power was held to settle the new Demon King.

Five thousand years later.

On the northern side of the kingdom of Eden located in the mortal realm.

A loud scream coming from the inside the forest. Inside the dark forest a young girl was frighten running away from a shadowy figure chasing after her. Moving through the shadows of the forest as it chased behind the young girl. The figure wore in black, and the young girl wore a sky blue dress, reaching down at her feet, the front of the dress was covered a blood stains. The young girl underneath wore muddy shoes. Having long dark hair and silver eyes.

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 filling the girl eyes knowing that she was about to die, as her tears pour out from her eyes she felt a bit of regret for living such a short life and living her father and mother behind, she tried gap 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 domain filled with fiery lava streams located in the demon realm. The sky was red like blood due to the sun being bright red. The sun shone it light throughout the whole demon realm, every reign was covered with it gaze. Dark and shadowy forest filed the place but it building structure was limited but better than the ones in the mortal realm.

On the west of the lava mountain. It was called Burning Rock. It was called that because in magma smoke filled the clouds turning them red. The reigns surrounding it where harsh lands.

Beneath the surface of the volcanic mountain called Mount Etna. A large and magnificent city existed built on top of the volcanic lava. The city was called Araboth : the city of fire. 

"Mom! Mom!!"

Inside the Naberius mansion.

Wearing black shirt and grey shorts. Black a young demon-wolves boy, a young member of the Naberius clan. He was the first son of the Demon Lord Klaus Naberius. With gold blonde hair and yellow demonic eyes.

"I'm in the kitchen."

Black abruptly walked in the kitchen holding his chest up high. Wearing a nice blue dress underneath, her white apron. Her apron was covered with stains of flout. She was baking hell-berry loaf : a delicious dish known throughout the demon realm.

Having long crimson hair and golden yellow eyes. She slightly turned her gaze looking at Black walking her way. The woman name was Hayley Naberius, the mother of Black and wife to the Demon Lord. Black nose started to jolt up smelling something good in the air, he began day dreaming with a bit drool on the side of his mouth.

Black refresh his mind getting back to his mood, he quickly turned his expression firm asking, "Mom, have you seen father? I have been looking all around for him?"

Hayley faintly replied, "Oh, he left moments ago in a carriage, I remember he said he had a meeting at the Demon King castle." Black face froze for a bit then he yelled out in shocked.

"He went where?!"

Hayley sneered her expression looking at Black reaction. "Why do you seem so surprised by this?" Sha asked seeming to look puzzled.

"I'm fine. This just kinder surprised me I have never known father to go on meeting to the the Demon King castle. When did this started?" Black said with a smiled. 

"What your father has visited the castle many times now, what did you think he was going on vacations when he disappear," said Hayley. Black sneered nodding his head. 

"Okay, not to sound like a kid but I would have wanted to come with him. He never told me where he was go before, but I always thought nothing to it," Black stated with a firm tone. Usually he would help his father on his work as the Demon Lord's, and leader of the demon-wolves. But he never realized him out even when working close to him. 

"Father told me not to go anywhere today, but he is the one who is not here. I was support to meet up with Ladros house, we had a important project to finish today. I allow myself not to go because father said what he had to teach me was more important."

Hayley frowned her brows seeing Black disappointment on his face. She kinder felt guilty about issue. She said, "Alright, next time you should go with him to the Demon King Castle, so you can learn about being a Demon Lord." She started to walk beside Black side, she excitedly hug and kisses his cheeks. 

 Black managed to break off from Hayley hug and kisses. He escaped meter from her side. "Why did you do that mom? I am about to turn 18 soon, and are you sure mom I should come with him to the Demon King castle? What if father going gets angry? If he is going to the Demon King castle for important meetings, I would end up disturbing him and might enrage him."

"He would never get angry about that, he was the one who suggest to me a few weeks back that he should make you the next Demon Lord of the Naberius clan." said Hayley. Black widened his mouth in surprised, but he casually refused the offer of being the next Demon Lord. 

Hayley widened her eyes in shocked. She was confused why would Black refuse to be the next Demon Lord, when it is a responsibility others would kill for. 

"Why are you refusing to be the next Demon Lord?" Hayley asked looking at Black.

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?" Lydia asked. 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 stated

"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," said Hayley.

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 Lydia, "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."
