MEETING GROUND OF THE DEMON PRINCES,

HELLFIRE.

The meeting ground was a circular piece of flat land surrounded by large trees, it was situated in the middle of a thick forest.

The four princes of hell who were in attendance were majestically standing few metres away from each other while waiting for the one who had summoned the meeting.

The tension in the environment from each one's presence was so thick that a butter knife could literally slice through it.

It was a rare sight to see two demon princes in one room so for there to be four in one place, something serious was about to go down.

"Where the hell is Cedric?" Daemon, the demon prince of greed asked, "how long does he plan to keep us waiting here?"

Daemon was a large demon of around twenty five feet who had the head of a ram with thick, long and curled horns, his clothing was a black clumsy armor that barely managed to cover his whole brown scaly body while his weapon was a giant halberd that he held in his left hand.

"Who the fuck are you asking?" Lian, the demon prince of envy shot back, "don't you dare act like you're the only impatient one here."

Lian had a humanoid body but he was skinny and almost as tall as Daemon with an extra eye on his forehead. His clothing was a long sleeved purple gown that left only his head and hands bare. His weapon was not visible at the moment.

"Man... Did I call your name?" Daemon asked irritably, "how does my statement concern you?"

"Because you're disturbing my peace!" Lian yelled back,

Daemon and Lian continued bickering back and forth while the other two demon princes stayed silent. One of them was Angelo, the demon prince of lust. Angelo was the third strongest demon prince and the second most silent, he rarely ever contributed in any of their discussions and he only cared about surpassing Lucian to become second strongest.

Angelo had a humanoid male body that was very beautiful and pleasing to the eyes, with his skinny but muscular arms and long legs that gave him an intimidating height of 6'4. He had a face that was so pretty that one would have difficulties knowing whether he was male or female. He was also dressed in a checkered suit and his weapon was a long black walking stick that he held in his right hand.

Angelo's gaze was fixed on the ground as Daemon and Lian continued bickering back and forth, his facial expression wasn't like that of one who was being bothered at all, it actually seemed a bit dreamy.

The last demon prince was Flash, the demon prince of sloth and he had been sleeping on the floor since all of them arrived. Flash didn't have a constant appearance, he may look like a man today, look like a woman tomorrow and look like an animal the day after tomorrow but on that fateful day, he looked like a twelve year old boy.

"Shut the fuck up!"

"You shut the fuck up!"

"Shut the..."

Suddenly there was a wave of intense bloodlust and Flash opened his eyes.

"Why are the both of you disturbing my precious sleep?!" The voice that came forth from his twelve year old vocal cords was extremely shocking, it was very coarse and it sent tremors to the trees around.

"Why don't you just go back to sleep like you always do and leave us alone?" Daemon said and rolled his eyes. The next thing he knew, there was a flash of darkness and he was sliding on the bare sand half way across the meeting ground.

"Have you forgotten that I am your older brother?" Flash was now standing a few metres from where Daemon was lying, "mind how you talk to me."

Daemon flushed scarlet from the embarrassment of getting disgraced like that from his fellow demon prince in the body of a twelve year old.

"You know what?" Daemon gritted his teeth, "I've waited so long for Cedric and I don't think he'll be coming anymore, I'm outta here."

Flash watched quietly as Daemon opened a dark red portal and stepped into it, vanishing from the meeting ground. He turned slowly to Lian and watched as Lian left too without saying a word to him. Lastly, he turned to Angelo and a small sardonic smile crawled to the edge of his lips. Without saying a word to him too, he opened a portal and left, leaving Angelo standing alone in the meeting ground.

The whole forest was very silent now that the demon princes had left, and though it was obvious that Cedric who had called the meeting for unknown reasons wouldn't be coming again, Angelo still didn't leave, he just stood there waiting as the seconds ticked by.

"How long do you plan on staying hidden? You already know that I'm aware of your presence..." He said quietly, his voice barely above a whisper as if he was talking to himself. His eyes were fixated at a certain direction in the forest, as if someone was there.

A few seconds passed and there was a loud hissing sound accompanied by the sound of rustling dry leaves.

"Aaah... Your senses are always sharp and precise... When will I ever be able to catch you off guard?" Lilith asked seductively as she stepped out from behind one of the thick trees there. She was dressed in a bra and a mini skirt that stopped a little bit below her hips.

"Lilith..." Angelo's tone was suddenly very hostile and chilly, "what are you doing here?"

"What am I doing here?" Lilith retorted, "are you seriously asking me that question Angelo? After what you did to me in our last mission, you should be sorry!"

"I didn't do anything to you in our last mission Lilith," Angelo countered calmly,

"Oh really? You didn't?" Lilith said sarcastically, "you didn't? So disappearing from a woman's life in the morning after having sex with her the previous night isn't something?"

"No."

Lilith faked a sad smile, "so I don't mean anything to you Angelo?"

"No woman, no demon means anything to me. I don't like getting attached to people, the earlier you know that, the better for you." Angelo said to her and she started laughing.

He wasn't surprised, that was how Lilith always behaved.

"That's what I love so much about you Angelo!" She interjected, "you're so cool."

Angelo rolled his eyes and said, "Enough of that Lilith, now tell me, what brings you here?"

As Angelo asked Lilith that question, her plump well shaped lips curved into a big smile.
