SPEAK OF THE DEVIL AND HE IS HERE.

Lavender is busy in his new task meanwhile..

Amon is all ready to be the next general of the devils army. Its a very high post, people die for this position but he is not at all interested In it.

He is doing it for the sake of his royal family and his father, who himself is the current general. Amon was busy with his sword fighting, he moved his sword at the speed of light.

He always kept himself busy in the practice,to grow more stronger.

And about his looks..it can be said that he is indeed a devil. His skin is flame red in color, with handsome scar on his face, hair length till his shoulder which was in a mixed colour of silver and black. His eyes bright and shiny, with dark black orbs, pupils larger than the average people which almost covered the white areas of his eyes. A long horn on his head, which was the same colour as his skin or maybe a bit more darker shade of black and red.

His shoulders broad enough to carry out his responsibilities, height.. long enough to hover over other guys of his age. He is used to harsh practices since childhood because of which his body is as tough as a stone. A well built stature for a young 28 years old guy.

No one can match his fighting skills among the youths of his age. Amon continued to flung his sword left and right, hitting every target into pieces. After a while he stopped his sword and moved towards the resting place were his sister was already waiting for him.

"Don't be so harsh on yourself." Venesa advised him.

Venesa is his step sister, she is 3 years older than Amon.

Their father had an affair with a woman(concubine) and she gave birth to Venesa. After giving birth to her she died and their father didn't gave any attention to her situation. It was Amon's mother who was a kind lady, she adopted her and looked after her. She has never differentiated between them and always loved them equally. And even Venesa loves them more than anyone.

Amon sighed as he sat on the mat

"I always work hard not like you" he teased her.

"Oh is it? well I heard a new rumor about you." she said with a smirk on her face. Amon raised his head and looked at her with a smile on his face "what?"

"You now have a new girlfriend... Is it true?" She asked as she squinted her eyes at him. He smiled and shook his head "no.... I already broke up with her yesterday" he said in a playful manner.

She leaned on the pillar as she frowned

"Brother, I don't mind you getting a girlfriend but please don't behave like our dad. Having too many affairs and then ... Forget it what I am saying is don't be a playboy. It was your 16th girlfriend right?"

Amon chuckled as he corrected her "I guess it was 18th.." Venesa shook her head slowly as she said

"That's even worse,I swear how come you have never fallen in love? Like all you guys do is... Never mind. It's no use telling you"

Amon rolled his eyes "stop nagging. And about those girls, Sigh~ they just want someone to sleep with them..I am just fulfilling their wishes" he said as he gave her an innocent and charming smile "and about me falling in love, that is next to impossible" he said packing his equipments and sitting next to her.

Venesa sighed "like, you have never ever been in love? Even for just once?" She asked a bit curiously. Isn't it impossible to not to fall in love even once? No matter how cruel a person is, he/she will always have a person for whom they care for the most. And her brother is not that bad of a guy,no matter how strong or invincible he is from the outside he still has a soft corner which he never shows to anyone except her and their mother. It's just that because of the big scar on his face, which starts from the corner of his brows crossing his eyes till the corner of his lips. It makes him look a bit scary and aggressive.

Amon gave her a faint smile, and looked at her "well... If you ask like that.. there was someone"

Venesa gasped in surprise "shit!! Really?! Who was she? Where does she live? Do I know her? You never told me about her.. that's so not fair" she said more excited than her brother.

Amon laughed, which made his scar stretch a bit "stop being so dramatic, it was when I was a kid."

"That's , long time back..." She rolled her eyes "how did you meet her? What did she look like?" She asked feeling curious about his story. She knew almost everything about him but how come he hid this story from her?

Looking at her expectant expressions, he didn't had the heart to deny her request. So he started to tell her the story "well, sigh~ how do I say?"

"You say with your mouth"

"Haha... Very funny"

"Just tell me.. please"

"Ok. So it was long time back when I was 13 years old. At that time I was really tired of my life, dad forcing me to practice everyday, telling me that you have to be the next troop general anyhow, him treating me like a machine, competing with the top warriors,not being able to make any friends or play with anyone. It was really sad at that time, only you and mommy was there to treat me like a normal child" he said as he looked at the burning fire next to them.

Venesa felt sad as she heard all these, because it was really true that their dad never treated them properly. He would always be busy with his work and will force them to do things that will be good for his reputation.

Amon then continued "so one day when I was practicing, someone defeated me in a fight. So the leader of the group scolded me very harshly I was so scared to face his rage,and when he left to inform our father I ran from there. I just wanted to escape the punishment,so I ran towards the border(the border between the devil's and angels).

Then i sat at the edge of the river for a while, that's when I heard a voice "hey, are you lost?" It was really sweet and cute to hear. I felt my heart speeding up a bit, as I heard the honey like voice"

Venesa chuckled as she heard this "oh my ~"

Amon smiled "she had her hair till her shoulders,which was light purple in color. Her eyes were jade green and was really big, her skin was as white and bright as snow but it also had a touch of gold. She had a long light purple gown and she had this little wings on her back."

"Wait.. why does it sound like she was an... angel?" She asked a bit concerned.

"Obviously we met at the border,so it is possible that she was from the other side"

"Oh I see.. continue"

"That girl then walked towards me from the other end, with a rainbow stone in her hand (it was only available in the lands of angels) she handed it to me "here,take it" she said. It looked like she was 9 or 10,

"would you like to be my friend?" She asked me.

It was the first time someone asked to be friends with me. So I agreed immediately "yes~ my name is Amon"

"Nice to meet you.. and you can call me Luv" she smiled like a bright sunshine. She then looked at me, scrutinizing me.

"Are you... A bad guy?"

"Uh.. no... Do.. do I look like a bad guy?" I asked a bit upset. She then nodded her head *chuckle* that was the cutest nod I have ever seen.

"You have a sword?" She gasped as she looked at the sword kept next to me.

"Yes, I am a warrior."

"Woah~ will you teach me as well?" When she asked me with that sweet voice of hers. I was not able to reject her, so I said yes.

"Will you come here to play everyday?" She asked me. I didn't think of anything else, I just wanted to escape my harsh life. So I thought that playing with her would give me happiness,even if it was only for a little while.

We then started to meet daily, we used to play together every evening. She would give me rainbow stones and in return I used to teach her sword fighting. It was already a month and nobody knew about us, But one day, during our play time.. by mistake she swung her sword at me carelessly and... It scraped my face really very hard"

He paused for a second as he felt the scar on his face,it was very old but still won't fade away. He then continued

"I was in tremendous pain, I wanted to scream in agony but when I saw the fear and guilt in her eyes... I stopped myself from showing any pain or trouble.

"D..don't worry I am..*gulp* fine" the cut was really deep,the moment I moved my mouth to talk it started to bleed even more. She was horrified at the scene, and I started to feel dizzy. I bent my knees as I landed on the ground, and for my surprise.. sigh~ she ran away from the scene"

Venesa widened her eyes as she saw her brother putting on a sad expression on his face. She has seen this face rarely but still this hit her differently.

"I saw her running away from there, scared that she was feeling guilty I tried to stop her "luv..*gulp* don..don't go.. please *huff* I am.. ok.. don't.." but because of the blood loss I fell unconscious and the last scene I remember was she leaving me forever"

"When I opened my eyes after a long time,I was already in our palace. Mom and you were sitting next to me, worried for me. You guys tried to ask me how I got into this situation?Who did this to me? but I was scared that she will get hurt because of me so I lied to you guys that it was me, and this happened when I was practicing."

"I already knew that it was a lie" she interrupted him as she fist bumped him on the shoulder. He laughed

"I thought that she will come back again,so if I expose her you will stop me from seeing her. And if dad came to know about her, she would have been a dead meet. But for my shock she never showed up after that, and my life was again into a chaos with one more reason to be.."

He stopped saying further. Venesa felt really sad for her brother, she tried to help him to feel better. "Maybe... Something happened after your separation. And that's why she was not able to meet you again" she pacified him.

Amon didn't say anything, she sighed "oh,what will you do if you meet her again?" She asked a bit excitedly, to cheer him up a bit.

This time there was a faint smile on his face. "Oh someone is blushing"

Venesa teased him.

He started laughing "if I meet her again.... I will go to her, and look into her eyes, then... I will slowly take out a knife and will chop off her little wings" he said as he changed his expression in a minute.

Venesa was taken aback for a second, "wait.. w.. why?"

"You are asking me why?! She left me to die there, I trusted her so much, I suppressed my pain just to stop her, I gave her all my happiness. I promised her that I will never leave her, but still she betrayed me and left me to die there. Look at this scar!! "

He looked at Venesa, showing his scar to her "isn't it her fault, she turned my face ugly, don't you remember how I cried when I saw my face in the mirror after a long time? I used to be sad whenever someone made fun of my face. This ugly scar will never fade, just because of that b*tch!!"

He was enraged as he remembered those events once again,his heart was filled with the feeling of betrayal and hatred.

"But,she was.. a kid. Maybe she.."

"Its time to go home. Let's go" he stopped the topic as he picked up his bag and left from there angrily.

'i would really kill that b*tch if I see her again, I will burn her alive.. I will kill her for making me like this'
