Ritual of Blood

" what!! from where did this box come from. How could be this even possible, maybe i am still dreaming "

He pinched himself, nothing happened, he pinched again but this time it was so hard that his hand started bleeding. It was so frustrating that he won't stop pinching himself. It was unimaginable that his father and Roy were missing even worse they could be dead.

Something broke inside him, maybe it was his heart which was unable to bear the loss of his family. Tears flooded against his cheeks raining on the floor. Unable to control his emotions he started punching on the walls, screaming loudly until his eyes gazed at the wooden box.

"You piece of shit, it is all your fault. Why didn't you also vanish with them"

He smashed the box on one side of the wall and quickly left the house heading straight to the police station. He was walking alone through the empty streets sad, furious and god knows how many other emotions were overflowing through him right now .

It was a straight road to the police station, a few hundred metres away from his house, it usually took a few minutes to reach. 35 minutes had already passed, Now, Rin mind's was completely vacant, all his feelings were shattered. He could think of nothing except that his family was safe somewhere and he was going to file a missing report.

(crack...….. grrrrr....)

A thunder hit a tree in the park near him, Rin came back to his senses. He looked at his wristwatch, Its been 35 minutes since he left home but still it looked like the police station was far away. He got irritated and started running. After running a few hundred metres, he was right there from where he started near the park.

Rin was confused, what is happening with him? For a sec he thought maybe he hit his head when his classmate punched that's why he is imagining things, he was sure that he was going crazy.

Rin fell on his knees, not knowing what was happening with him, that's when another bolt of lightning struck. it was a feet away from where Rin was standing, he literally felt his heart stopped for a moment. His eyes were burning as if he saw the sun really up close. Rin rubbed his eyes slowly tries to open them, his vision was blurry but he saw something stood there in front of him. He rubbed his eyes again, cleaned the tears and raising his head.

Rin saw a tall and old person, dressed in a royal way. Black coat over a white shirt, black pant and a bow tie. The man bent over and said

"Butler Sebas, at your service, master Rin"

"who are you? How do you know my name? whom are you calling your master?" asks Rin one after another

"so many questions? Not to worry master i will fill you with every single detail you want to know but for now you must come with me. Currently this place is not safe for you" replied Sebas.

"what do you mean by not being safe?" asks Rin with terror in his eyes.

"Master Rin, I assure you that I will surely tell you whatever you want to hear but this is not the right time or place to talk. So I need you to come with me without wasting any more time" Sebas requests with a worried look on his face.

"May I please hold your hand for a sec? Master" asked Sebas.

Rin lifted his hand and placed it on Sebas's hand. Suddenly a bright light flashed around them. Nothing could to be seen, they were floating in space. As far as his eyes could see, there was only white space as if someone painted the world with white.

Then within a blink of an eye they were standing at the center of a big hall. A dozen of maids rushed towards them and stood in a line before him.

"um….mr..…..sss…..ssss.....sebaass" Rin said while he was startled by the series of events.

"yes? Master Rin" replied Sebas.

"where are we? I mean how did we? What did you...…"

"we had just teleport from that place which you call your city to your mansion" replied Sebas.

"myyyyyy mansion....wait! Did you just say that we tele….port?" asks rin as he couldn't believe his ears.

"yes master rin, Its as you hear" Sebas answers.

dead"how is that even possible? No science so far in the universe could do that thing" asks Rin.

"its magic, My Master, or more accurately its dark magic. I am the demon's butler" Sebas says in response.

"now I am sure, I have really gone mad. To think a punch could do this bad to my head, I am crazy for sure to have to see such things" says Rin thinking back at the fight.

"it is hard to believe all this in a such a short span of time but trust me master you are perfectly fine and all the things that you saw so far was all true, one way or the other" Sebas assures him.

"does it mean that my father and brother are dead" inquires Rin.

"you mean your earthly family. yes they were killed but do not worry they are not going to die" Sebas replies.

"oh! god, oh! no...….. they are killed, what should I do?" bawls Rin.

"Master Rin, you seem to not understand, they were killed but they are not dead" Sebas responds to Rin's reaction.

"They are dead but they were not killed? what does it matter, they are still dead."

😭😭😭😭

"No master, i said they were killed but they are not dead"

"What the hell? Why are you jumbling with words, Don't mess with me."

"sorry for being incompetent to make you understand" Sebas apologized.

"now, let me explain you properly, Master Rin"

"while trying to protect the box from the demon, your father had to perform a blood seal ritual on the box in order to protect the box from the demon lord ORCUS."

"blood seal ritual, what's that?" asked Rin

"It's a ritual made by certain person to seal a magical item using his blood which could only be reversed by his own blood. To obtain the box, the demon lord entered into your father's body so that he could undo the blood seal ritual but then to protect the box. Your brother didn't have any other choice but to kill your father to stop him from reversing the blood seal ritual. He stabbed your father with the holy katana" Sebas replied.

"then the demon tried to enter your brother's body but his will was strong enough to prevent the evil from controlling it. When orcus realized that he couldn't use your father and brother to reverse the seal so he took their soul with him to the demon world"

"then why didn't I find them back then when I returned from the hospital?" asked Rin.

"orcus imprisoned their body and soul with him, No human or demon could find it anymore unless it is the bloodline of the demon lord…....…., Master." Sebas answered.

"what nonsense are you spitting and why the hell are you calling me your master?" Rin complained as he was not ready to accept all this.

"It's because you are my master, Master Rin" sebas declared with a smirk on his face.

"You are the heir to the Demon lord"
