Chapter 39[Crimson clan]

[So the day has come, our death is born … sisssiisss] said the beautiful yet deadly lady, a beauty that can overturn the empires, and her eyes spelled death to anyone who saw them once.

The outskirts of the dark cave were surrounded by the river from one side and a city on the other, the river seemed to be dyed red and clashed against the large mountains that seems to be standing in its way, the mountain that looked darker than the starless sky, stood still blocking the crimson river path.

The Crimson river clashed against the Starless mountain range as if it wanted to swallow whole mountains, but the mountain just stood still.

As the breathtaking beauty stepped out of the cave, the clouds that hung on the gray skies parted away, and the silver moon illuminated the world, yet the beauty of the moon failed against the beauty of the lady. Her body basked in the glow of the moon, and her raid hairs shined brightly, flowing against her back like a crimson waterfall.

[Listen to me ... my citizens...] said the beautiful lady in a low voice, but her words echoed inside the entire city.

The city looked made up of small hills and plateaus, and on the tallest hill of the starless mountain stood the Empress of crimson snake clan, Lernaean Hydra.

[The day has come ... our oracle has done the prophecy ... it will either be our doom or the moment when we can finally escape from the clutches of hell.] said Lernaean Hydra.

[ohhhh.... victory to queen .... long live our queen ... long live crimson clan ...]shouted the snake-kin that resided in the city.

[Be at ease ... you must all be aware that currently we are not allowed to go into the higher planes as we are locked below by those retched gods.]said the queen.

[Boohoo... curse the gods ... queen is supreme ... curse the god] shouted the citizens.

[But we are not weak as they think we are ... after 3000 years we have grown stronger, and we have discovered a loophole in the barrier that the Retched Gods have set...] the queen paused and took a step forward.

[The young warriors that are training since young can cross this barrier through an artifact that I have made ... but only 5 warriors can cross the barrier by holding this artifact.] said the queen.

[Yeah... queen is supreme ... we will reign supreme ... Long live queen ... long live crimson clan.] shouted the citizens.

[I will not give any favorable treatment to anyone ... the justice that was not given to me will be delivered to everyone under me ... every race that is under the crimson snake clan will be allowed to participate in the battle. And then the 5 top warriors will be chosen that will have the honor to kill the threat that will bring us doom.] Said the queen, her every word were filled with power, and with each word the citizen of the clan felt a fire burning in their eyes.

[5 warriors will be chosen through a battle royale that will be held on the day of the crescent moon. These warriors will be given a chance to train under the war-general till the day of the black moon, and then they will be sent to the upper realm to kill our Doom.] the oracle stepped forward and said, using the same magic queen used.

[All the warriors sharpen your blades ... we need your strength, so give it your all ...] said the oracle.

[Ohhh yeah ... Yeah... queen is supreme ... we will reign supreme ... Long live queen ... long live crimson clan.] shouted the citizens.

[This will be all ... you are now dismissed.] said the queen as she entered inside the cave.

Sitting back on the throne ... the queen called upon a soldier.

[Ask my third son to come] said the queen.

After a few minutes. A young boy entered the cave. His body emitted a stench of blood as if he has taken a bath in a sea of blood.

[Yes my queen.] said a bowing towards the queen.

[raise your head, my son. You may have already heard my announcement. As it has ever been, I never show any favoritism, but as your mother, I hope to see great results from you.] said the queen.

[Your wish is my command, mother. And it will be an honor to be the hero that fulfills our goal. May your blessings be upon me.] said the Boy. His eyes filled with determination as he stood up his body emanated an aura of a warrior and the sword that was even bigger than him hung on the back showed stains of fresh blood that was dripping down from its edges, this added more bloodlust to his Aura.

He was the third son of the Queen and was still young in comparison to other demons who lives for hundreds of years, but the strength that was emanating from his very being sent chills down the spins even to veterans.

He stood and bowed to the queen before leaving.

[Oracle you have time till the black moon to find the location of the prophecy. We can not take any chances. It is either him or we that will die.] said the queen to the oracle. Who bowed before leaving to do the needed.

[War-general make sure the 5 warriors are chosen fairly. If I find any kind of injustice, the consequences will be harsh. Take as many resources that you need to train these 5 warriors and tell them that the future of the clan lies in their hands.] said the queen.

[beat ease my queen everyone will be given equal chance and only the strongest one will prevail. I will make sure that happens personally.] said the war general before taking his leave.

After some time when all left the throne cave.

[Sacar] said the queen in low voice.

Hearing her words, a figure appeared out of one of the corners of the cave.

[Queen... till now no other clan has made a move.] said a demon who looked like a shadow.

[But the death clan has made some moves ... there seems to be a summoning ...]
