Upon the dry deep, darkness, pain and death stench.. the beautiful flowers, the birds which sang at noon day, and the sunny days all a mirage.
Valyris walked into the cave where the human bodies are starched, Valyris rules over the Kingdom of Alyon, since the holy gods placed a curse upon him, he began to have great hatred upon mankind.
Humans were used for spot in his kingdom, he ruled with wickedness and inflicted pain upon his enemies.
As he and Alyris and Amzahlel his captains walked down the tunnel, the human voices echoing from distance, screeches pain, horror and death. They cried, shouted and hauled agony.
Those were souls he collected, people he tore apart and trapped their souls in the great deep, no one dare challenged him. He ruled at night as a monster, and in the twilight as an angel of light.
He laughed while looking at his preys. He laughed hideously and cursed the holy gods.
He cursed the gods again, as he took a soul... Souls appear as a single bright light, the brighter the light, the greater the power. Valyris ate souls and gained more power and length of days.
He took the soul, and called it into a bottle, and the whole tunnel lit up. He laughed, then said this soul had a great destiny. What a waste he shouted and laughed again.
After this he and his captains walked out of the tunnel glowing and looking younger.
Valyris and his wife Ashtheroth became a terror to mankind, they took arms and tax of the kingdom for the curse they bear was great.
The holy gods promised a deliverer but known dare challenged Valyris and Ashtheroth, many were burned alive and many souls locked up in the tunnel. Valyris was called the eater of souls because that was his food.
The humans were foolish, they did nothing but eat and drink because they feared death, they said "no one knows the day of our death, let's eat and drink" Valyris bewitched them with magic, he had supernatural powers and could read the mind of men.
Foolish humans Valyris spoke as he watched humans play the spot in his arena. Arasha a mighty warrior who is half human and half demon killed all his opponents in the arena.
There are other mighty warriors including humans and demons, and they were all made to fight for their life.
aaahh Arasha shouted, as Valyris made the sign of kill... He broke the neck of his opponents and threw him on the ground.
Valyris rose up walked down the arena and placed his hands on the dead warrior and absorbed the energy from the warrior's body, a light energy went inside him.
The arena shouted, as the crowd jubilate happily.
In the crib
If you want meat go fight in the arena, nothing is free here an old lady shouted as a bunch of drunks made silly noise.
The waiters are two teens, a small boy Hazael and another small girl Damilla, they helped the old woman In the crib.. the crib is a mini eatery where demons and humans came to eat, they payed the old woman and she in turn paid tax to the soldiers of Valyris.
Don't let anyone leave without paying, I have debts to settle, the old woman told Gaulle, Gaulle is a giant who keeps the crib. Everyone fears him around Finflein town, a suburb of Alyon kingdom. There are five Kingdoms Alyon, Grayhaul, Amaraan, Beegrove and Elkesh.
Valyris rules over Alyon which is the greatest of all five Kingdoms, and Valyris made war against the four other kingdoms to take over it including his sisters kingdom.
Hazael, I will leave here soon and live in the castle, be a royalty. I want to marry a great Lord, Damilla spoke proudly to Hazael. Damilla has a dream, she wants to dine with princes and kings but Hazael hates that life.
The rich and powerful puke nothing but wickedness, pain to the weak. If only the gods will bless me with a power as great as the power of Azazel. I will save everyone from the hands of this wickedness. Hazael spoke calmly,
Although the controversies surrounding Azazel's story is great, many still see Azazel as a very powerful demon. The only one who could stand before the holy gods. Hazael is one of the few who think the holy gods aren't holy at all. His thoughts were controversial, and most humans may stone him dead if heard but that was his believe.
How can a lazy fat boy like you have such powers?, Damilla said jokingly
Hazael is very fat and lazy, he couldn't carry even plates to serve customers but he has to eat so, everyday he tried his best to do the old woman's biddings.
He loves food more than anything else, and can even sell his soul for food, that's what made him work at the crib in the first place. He is an orphan, his parents Alameida his father was a farmer, and Terra his mother helped his dad in their farm.
His father died during the great war between Alyon and Beegrove.
Beegrove is ruled by a human king, who they say works with the arch demon Malebinl, Malebinl like Azazel was a watcher, since Azazel pledged to bear all the consequences of their actions, his brothers were not punished. They lived among men until the holy gods put them in darkness and stopped them from dealing directly with men. King Croone pays his allegiance to Malebinl, he is a human but is not different from Valyris because he sacrifice humans to Malebinl.
Malebinl is a blood thirsty demon, and like many other demons, he has no sympathy for humans. He drinks human blood, and feeds on human flesh. So, the war between King Croone and Valyris over Finflein was great, and many humans lost their lives.
Valyris won the war and took over Finflein.
Alameida was forced into the King Croone's army, he died in the war, and his mother Terra died a year latter.
Hazael worked in the farm but wasn't patient enough he has always desired quick results, the more reason he had to work in the crib. He wants to be strong but lack the courage to face his fears.
Valyris' soldiers entered the crib,
"welcome", Lady Saprinadolph said.
We seek our tax, the soldiers said.
Hear, have it.
The leader of the troop counts the coins. On the coins is inscribed Valyris, just his name written bold on the coin.
This is not enough, woman complete it, you know Lord Valyris' laws. You must pay in full, the leader said.
A man seating besides the soldiers stood up, walked towards them and said how much is her tax?
10,000 Valyris, the soldier replied.
I'll pay you all, the man said.
He counted 10,000 Valyris and gave it to them.
You're lucky, you would've paid with your soul, the soldier said.
Thank you Mr., Lady Saprinadolph spoke happily, what would you have me give you? She asked.
I seek nothing woman... I did it out of good will.
Thank you,
Children will you thank the gentle man?
"Thank you Mr.", they both said. As he walked out of the crib.
