1 A Meeting.

<???'s Pov>

It has finally started, just as father had predicted, he said civil war was coming, for as long as I have been born, he has been preparing for this day. The day House Feilfa would rise, the war in which we would show our true strength. My Father believes in a wired power called The Force, he describes it as a metaphysical, spiritual, binding, and ubiquitous power.

I have inherited 'The Force' from my father and he has been training it within me for years as well as using sword styles that I haven't seen anywhere else in the underworld, he claims that this is the way our house will gain strength and he hasn't been wrong so far.

*Knock*

"Come In"

My father's voice boomed through the hallway, taking a second to compose myself, I entered our throne room, my father like always sat on the throne discussing the realm with his closest advisors. To his left stood a Half-Human named Zakos, the man loomed over my father, his height a staggering 7ft tall, his most defining feature was a deep scar that travelled across his face, a scar my father had given him.

Whenever I ask how or why, the two simple smile at one another before switching the topic to something else, I will learn that secret sooner or later, Zakos is the head of our house's military forces, all of which have been trained to use my father's weird sword styles. To his left stood my mother and the head of internal affairs for our Lands, Estreth.

I may be being biased here but she scares me more than my father does, while my father's power is much stronger than my mothers, he rarely uses it, my mother, on the other hand, will use it to keep anyone in line, even my Father. A pure Devil, my mother's beauty is said to have caused major issues within our lands until she married my father 25 years ago, the wedding was a small affair with no house outside of our controlled lands being invited.

You may think that is weird but House Feilfa has stood alone since it was created 35 years ago from thin air, I'm not sure the major Devil houses even know we exist, my father is extremely secretive with everything he does, our lands are hidden in the land between the Devil and Fallen angel territories. Meaning we have had our fair share of battles with the 'Crows' as my father calls them, he makes absolutely sure that none of them survives to make sure we remain hidden.

"Why are you here my son?"

I looked up at the man who has united the misfits of the Devil world under his banner, his relaxed posture is just a disguise, from what I have seen of my father, he could kill me in a thousand different ways if he wished.

"It has played out as you thought Father, a young Beelzebub-descendant gave the order to massacre all members of the resistance faction that are in the city of Lucifaad, without care for civilians or casualties among them, the Civil war is going to spark soon."

My father burst out into laughter, "These fools are far simpler to deal with than the Sith or Jedi, Micheal, as the Heir to my house and my Power, I want you to lead the first army west, you are to assist the Anti-Satan Faction, Zakos will travel with you. He will be your second in command, listen to his council and you will do well, are you ready Son?"

My mother rose up the stairs to the throne and

*Slap*

Slapped my father, I stood in shock at her actions while my father paused for a second before bursting out into laughter, pulling my mother onto his lap before kissing her deeply, I wish they wouldn't do this in front of me.

"What was that for my dear?"

Mother stepped back from my father, glaring at him hard she snarled "You are sending our son to war, without asking for my consent."

"Estreth, do you know what his Sin is?"

My mother nodded her head, "Wrath"

"So you see, Micheal here needs to let off some steam, I trust in both his and Zakos skill. He will be fine, we both know this, I think you just wanted to try and be the sadist for once, we both know how much you like a spank-"

*Cough, Cough*

Before my father could finish his sentence, Zakos, interrupted him by coughing, remembering where he was, a smile covered my Father's face before he turned away from my blushing mother, a small pout remained on her face.

"Micheal, I trust you will not see defeat in the early parts of the war, according to my spies, our faction has some hard hitters in it but they lack numbers, you may take 6000 of our prepared troops with you as well as this letter. You leave at first dawn tomorrow, it should take you 14 days to reach the outskirts of the Agares' territory. I will join you once you have reached the outskirts of the Capital."

I nodded my head at my father's words, before turning to leave, he stopped me.

"Did I dismiss you son? Eager to fight you are, I have a final gift for you, I spent a long time refining it for you, you can find it in your room, in an old oak box."

A small smile came to my face as I left the throne room, as soon as I left, I heard my mother start shouting again about how I wasn't ready, my Father's laughter echoed throughout the castle, he and I both know how hard I have trained for this war, to prove to my father I'm ready to lead our armies going forwards...

<Two weeks later, Lord Agares' Pov>

"Did you send envoys to the army in the east?" I ask my commander as he settles down beside me.

"I did my lord, the Leader of the host is a young Devil, no older than 30, he gave the envoys this letter for you to read. The envoys noted that the boy had a surprising lack of Demonic power for the leader of 6000 plus men, he should just about be breaking into ultimate class. They did warn, however, a power they couldn't identify oozed from his boy, almost suffocating them."

"Interesting" Was the single word that left my mouth as I opened the letter, it read.

' Dear Lord Agares,

My Name is Lord Feilfa, I'm writing to let you know that house Feilfa will declare for the Anti-Satan faction, I have sent a host of 6000 men alongside my son, Micheal as a show of faith, I'm preparing a further 6000 men and we will be ready by the end of the month. You may find the lack of demonic power in my son weird, for your sake do not mention this to him, I hope he serves you well until we can meet.

Your Faithful Ally

Lord Feilfa'

"Very Interesting"

I mutter as I pass the letter to my commander,

"How long until the Asmodeus army reaches this keep?"

My commander sighed, "A day my lord."

"Invite young Micheal into the castle, tell him to bring one of his commanders and that the enemy will be here tomorrow."

"As you command my lord."

A new player has joined the game it seems, House Feilfa, why are you getting involved now and where did you come from? It seems this war will be an interesting one, I do not care as long as we come out on top in the end...
