IQUSTAGIA

It is like someone's stabbing his heart repeatedly.

'What did he say? Allow his mother to reincarnate! He will give my son son.'

Crown Prince Sage does not know what his father is saying. But the truth is he doesn't want to believe his words. So, he asks his father, stuttering, "What do you mean?"

Emperor Iqustagia, "Your mother is special to me. I met her when I was alone in this world. Everything thinks I'm useless except her. Instead, she believes in me, and soon she becomes my everything. We're happy, in love, and inseparable. But this doesn't last long."

Due to his breathing problem, the Emperor is slow. He continued.

"She was pregnant. At first, I was happy, but then you're killing her daily. She's human, a normal one. I was worried about her, seeing her losing her weight. I tried to persuade her to abort you, but she started to ignore me. And one day, Empire's Crown Prince was born, and I lost my wife."

*Take a deep breath*

"I try to move on. I thought if I loved you, maybe it doesn't hurt. But. You!!! You always reminded me of the day she died. Lastly, I start searching for a way to bring her back. When I find the way, then I need my sacrificial object. I know I can't sacrifice you because she will never forgive me. Then I met with Mage's father. Everything planned. But, your mother refuses to come back to me."

His father gave up on his grandson to bring back his mother. Just for Love. His Selfish Love.

Crown Prince Sage didn't know how to react to this news. It's like a mix of emotions he feels. He's mad and wants to destroy everything.

He shouted, "You never love me. I didn't say anything about it. You married me off to someone whom I neither love nor knew then also I was silent. You helped her.... to abandon this palace and my just-born child. Again I was silent. Why? Fa... You don't deserve to be called that. You take away my son from me. He was my everything."

He takes a deep breath and looks at him. His eyes are red. It's like he's hungry, and only blood can complete it.

He snapped, "I loved you... Once!! Do you know that? No. You were grieving over my mother. Do you know because of you I never believed in 'love'? I never did! A word for which a father was so selfish that he didn't realize that he was sacrificing his son's happiness."

Both father and son were staring at each other. One was guilty, and another was furious.

Crown Prince Sage leaves the palace in anger. He doesn't know how long he rides the horse until he reaches the cliff.

Late at night

Emperor Iqustagia looked at the ceiling until he heard the commotion outside his chamber. He tries to get up from his bed, but because of his weakness, he needs support. He was trying to get up when the door opened with a bang.

He sees the Crown Prince Sage standing with a sword in his hand. There is blood on his clothes and some dripping over his sword.

Crown Prince Sage was mad. Whoever comes in front of him kills that person brutally. It was like someone hypnotized him, but he was not.

He murmured something as the winds started howling and bashed at his father.

A white sheet pulls out, and the moon only witnesses the two shadows. The scene was horrible.

The servants looked at the Emperor in sympathy. They feel sad for the elderly as he lost his grandson, and now his son has lost control over himself. The bed filled with the Emperor's blood, and they heard the painful screams of their Crown Prince.

Emperor Iqustagia looked at his son when he stopped for minutes and looked back at him. His son has a dark aura around him. It's like he uses black magic.

*Gasp*

It's banned to use black magic. When the Emperor used it, he didn't come in front of the other people for two days and look at his son. It's like he just used black magic, and that's also destruction.

*Gasps*.

Emperor Iqustagia asks his son worriedly, "Son, did you...?"

Before he could finish his words, his son shouted, "Yes, I did. I want to destroy you. You killed my son and I can't able to see him ever again because he does not exist anymore, you Selfish old man!"

Lastly, he attacked him, and this time the blow killed him at once.

The servants gasped as they heard what their Crown Prince said.

Everyone was processing the new information when there was a lightning strike, and everything vanished around Sage. He looks around to see the deserted place, flames, and darkness.

"YOU ASK FOR THIS SAGE. I GIVE YOU TWO OPTIONS. TAKE CARE OF MY KINGDOM, OR STAY ON EARTH. THE CHOICE IS YOURS."

When Crown Prince Sage was looking around, he heard a voice. He thinks, 'Whoever, it is and where I am. It doesn't matter. I just don't want to stay on earth and get hurt.'

He replied, "I'll accept your offer to take care of your kingdom but I want to know a few answers."

The voice replied, "SHOOT."

He asked, "Who are you? Where I am?"

The voice replies, "ME. I DON'T THINK YOU WANT TO KNOW. BUT I WILL TELL YOU. I AM EMPEROR OF HELL."

With that, he shows himself. His face is scary, but Crown Prince Sage doesn't get scared. He asks, "Greetings! Why do you want me to be here and What about my Empire?"

[ Author's note: - The dialogue of Emperor of Hell will be in capital letters. ]

Before answering HE comes back to his angelic form.

"YOU DON'T NEED TO BE POLITE. AND ABOUT WHY I WANT YOU TO BE HERE BECAUSE YOU BROKE THE RULE OF YOUR EMPIRE USING BLACK MAGIC. YOUR ANCESTORS MAKE A DEAL WITH MY FATHER. THEY ARE FREE TO USE ANY MAGIC BUT FOR A GOOD PURPOSE. BUT YOU AND YOUR FATHER USED IT FOR SELFISH REASONS. ONE FOR HIS SON AND THE OTHER FOR HIS WIFE. AS PUNISHMENT, THE PERSON WHO BREAKS THE RULE WILL BE SENT TO ME AND PUNISHED. SO, HERE YOU ARE. ACCEPTING MY OFFER."

HE turned around, but HE recalled something so, he faced Sage and continued.

"FOR THE SECOND QUESTION, WHEN THERE'S THE RIGHT TIME YOU WILL GET TO KNOW BECAUSE MY FATHER LIKES YOU. *wink* AND ONE MORE THING, YOUR POWERS ARE TAKEN, ONLY A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF THE POWERS WERE ALLOWED TO USE. ENJOY!!"

After that, the Emperor of Hell didn't come to meet him. Now he is Sage, King of Darkness. King of Hell. But he never let anyone know about his name.

For millions of years, he stayed there and ruled over the demons and souls. Once his father came into his vision and informed him about the prophecy about him and his mate. At that time, he familiarizes himself with his new power. VISION!

Later, Sage went to Earth and saw many things change after he left, and became familiar with the time loops of Earth and hell are different.

He also gets a piece of information that Iqustagia is now a legend to everyone as people say that it's hidden somewhere and now there is a new Empire called, 'the Qeania Empire.' No one knows where the people of the Iqustagia Empire are.

He left Earth and stayed another million years in hell when he realized that now he wants his powers back.
