Sinful Oblation

A small triangular shaped room in the south-west corner of the crystal palace of the Demon King.

Arriving at the entrance door of the room itself, can scare the evil spirits of low-key demons and humans.. don't hold a chance. Dark, neither rays of sunlight nor hope of life, only quietness..

"shhh.." that takes over a grave yard.

Walls of the room are still painted with red blood of the sacrifices made years ago. It is difficult to distinguish between, whether the blood belongs to a human or a demon, because Demon King spares no one…

Though this room traps the loudest cry in its walls, loudest cry was heard a year ago.

Today after a year, the door is open.

"Devil knows, who will be the sacrifice".

Demon King and his close allies in a black robe entered the sorcery room along with….

"What? Queen!"

I heard that Demon King cared no one but his beloved wife..

A past story says Demon King slaughtered his own brother, feeding the partially alive body to the beast declaring "Any men, women, child or even a creature with harm in their mind for queen, shall face the wrath of Demon King for eternity".

What is the reason, that made him bring his delicate darling to the room filled with whimpers of unliberated souls?

Queen looks like a woman in her twenties, her face can brighten up the day of diseased but her eyes is filled with joy and hints of sorrow, lips are soft pink.

Three men, a women and two guards, all in a black robe and queen in a snowy white gown.

In the middle of the black ravens she reminds you of a dove.

"Oh! Poor soul"

Focus shifted to Demon King…

Judging from his voice frequency, he sounds more like a man in his thirty. Though half of his face is covered in a black robe, emotions expressed by his voice explains a lot.

Grief in his deep voice is clearly felt.

He slowly hugs his queen, may be for the last time he wants to feel her warmth and whispers in deep, shivering voice..

"If I had another option, I would have never done this to you… My love".

The woman responds to this with a sweet smile, her eyes filled with tears and her last words were.. "Thank you for everything my love.."

That's it … man dig his dagger like nails of right hand into her back, breaching through the skin tissues, clasping onto central cord system, trying to pull it with force, but veins refusing to leave, scream filled the room ringing the eardrums of entire living beings in the vicinity.

Brutal…. Who kills their loved one with such a pain? What kind of sacrifice require separating central cord form the living body?

Even a smallest scratch over the skin burns. Range of the pain in this barbarous act is unimaginable.

Demonic hand pushed to its extremes pulling out the spinal cord, spilling red blood out of veins, disrupting organs, at last liberating the soul attached to the body. Floors beneath bathed in blood so the Demon King, white robe of the queen unrecognizable.

Demon King started laughing maniacally holding on to blood embedded central cord, dead queen still in his embrace…

Silence…..complete silence acquired the room for a while..

Until, a nervous footsteps pushed by force approached him and turned his head around. A guard stuttering, his forehead sweating, hands shivering … "Lord.. what to do with the body of queen? Shall we feed them to beasts?"

Demon King turning the head giving a death glare, every person in the room could feel his rage as he smothered guard under his feet yelling

"No.. After all she was my beloved queen.."

"I cannot be that cruel… I was never…..at least to her.. she was my precious possession… to feed her to the beasts….that will never be"

"What made you think that…" yelling and smashing the guards head numerous time on the floor till he breathed his last.

No one dared to stop him. Every one present in the room has always been aware of his temper but today it was on another level.

After a minute Demon king calmed himself down, called upon a guard and handling him the central cord of the queen whispered in his ears. Guard left.

Demon king in his deep, cold voice ordered

"Gaagi…hang the head of my treasured queen in the centre of my chamber… I am used to the sight of her face that glitters in dark.."

"And burn her body with a perfect demon funeral rituals".

A woman in black came and left with the lifeless body of the queen.

A pair of eyes filled with tears watched this merciless scene from the space of upper window. It was the only window at the east corner of the sorcery room.. more a like small hole of five inches in diameter.

Weeping….and a whisper… "mother" was silenced by hands covered over mouth. An unknown took the child away.

A guard came running by the door screaming in fear

"Lord..Lord… Prince chamber was on fire and Prince…."

Demon king gave a death glare, guard sweating, shivering

"....is nowhere to be found".

Roar of aggression ring the ears of the guard

"You guards could not keep safe a child from fire" and choked the guard to death.

Two men in black robe, covered face witnessing all these dramas and whispering in low

"What an act of deception!"

"That's what the world believes".

It was day when fate of many was put to stake. After this Demon King conquered many kingdoms killing numerous humans as well as demons. The lengths and breaths of the earth was at the mercy of Demons.

Thus begins our story….

"A contract with the devil comes with the burden of sins"
