771 Day of Retribution

Early morning in the Fire realm was nothing more than the red sky turning redder. The dark smoke from the volcano covered the air as far as one could see from the floating castle. There were no early singing birds, golden sun rays on the horizon, or fresh air smell. At that moment, Dante was washing his face in front of a mirror. He looked up to see a face with hazel eyes and red hair staring back at him. Dante grinned at his own reflection. He was proud of how dashing he looked in the silver armor.

"One more day, Dante…one more day," he slowly spoke to himself. Dante was assigned to guard the Dark Lord's cage by Mutrad. It had been three weeks since they captured the Dark Lord. Until now, the Dark Lord had done nothing but got tortured by various strangers. Dante got a chance to watch the interrogation, which wasn't pretty. Dante and his team were ordered to guard the castle with complete caution two days ago.
