Chapter 1

Trumpets of War resounded throughout the realm of hell. The peak was going to be achieved. An expected outcome but not a welcomed one.

When the advent of adversity was unstoppable, the glorious tragedy of the old times was about to begin yet once again. But this time there would be no victors.

The bigoted views of the Old Satan Faction who refuses to tone down their moronic ways and the Anti satan Faction who can no longer tolerate their meaningless whims.

To finish what the old satans started they gathered their supporters to restart the great war but were met with resistance by their own people, a group of devils who wanted to ensure the survival of devils as a whole.

It was imminent that a war would explode between them.

It was supposed to be a war of Ideals. Carried by the youths and preserved by the victors.

A moment that would define the future of the entire devil race and probably the world as well.

Sirzechs Gremory and Ajuka Astaroth being the ace of the Anti-Satan Faction were actively opposing the other side while ensuring the survival of the devil race as a species. War spares none and takes everything but it gives something as well

Moments of Despair

Moments of Hope

But for the young and ambitious ones it also gives moments to shine.

How cool it would have been if you were remembered as someone who contributed massively to the making of history.

One such case was Cale.

Cale Gremory, younger brother of Sirzechs and the second son of Zeoticus Gremory.

Since birth, he was told that he would grow to the same heights as his brother and he really did. With the Power of Destruction in hand, he became a devil of ultimate class at a young age. Decorated with the responsibility of being at the helm of battle he was growing at a tremendous rate. Feared even among those observers of far, Cale was growing up soundly perfect.

But life is never good n shine always. looks like Fate had something else in its package for this devil.

During the civil war, Cale started showing symptoms of a dreaded ailment.

Devil's Slumber,

Ingvild Leviathan, Misla Bael, and who knows how many more fell in the clutches of such ailment.

What one can do is nothing but just wait for their undeniable demise.

Noble or Commoner it matters not for the ailment shows no mercy. When contracted the patient falls into a deep state of sleep. Blessing it would have been if it was just a normal sleep. With no cure developed the victim can do nothing but endure.

Endure and wait for their undeniable demise.

Troubled times bring more experience than one could hope for. He learned and experienced many things that one would use to live a meaningful life. But now his life was confined within a room, more like a bed. A really big and comfy bed.

Just when he was about to set out for a battle with the Silver queen the ailment caught up with his extraordinary rate of growth. No longer being able to resist the onslaught of the unending sleep he was left with no other option but to resign.

"I believe we have talked about this before as well Lord Gremory but it was imminent if not now then soon enough the young lord would have fallen." Zeoticus knew something like this would surely happen, one cannot simply deny the ailment.

But what could he do? He and his wife have made sure to help their son no matter the cost but everything was ineffective. There was no cure.

'Only thing we can do is take care of him until he passes away safely.' Zeoticus accepted the undeniable reality but the heart of Venelana could not. For she was his mother, the one who took care of Cale since he couldn't even walk. Now watching her mighty son lose to a sleep disease, she could not accept it but again what could she do? who would answer her plea ???

Gremory Dukedom

The entire family was gathered but not one servant was present today.

The sobbing sounds of a helpless mother were all Cale could hear and perceive. The disease is stealing his senses one by one with the final goal of reducing him into nothing but a breathing corpse.

Having lost his sense of sight he can only imagine the sadness and helplessness his family is facing through right now.

"Mother, Father I apologize for not being able to accompany you anymore." Cale sighed he was disappointed in himself. Disappointed for not being able to put an end to this war.

For not being able to become a worthy heir.

For not being able to become a worthy son.

But he was happy as well, For he was born into such a loving family.

Holding his hands Venelana said "Rest well son mother will take care of you... Just promise me....Promise me you will wake up soon.." An empty promise because she herself knew it was not possible.

"I promise mother soon very soon...." He said while trying to understand the gibberish of sounds that he was hearing now.

Sense of Hearing was now lost. He could not make out anything, everything was becoming silent. He could not hear the heartfelt words of his Brother.

He could only imagine the sorrow of his father.

Mustering up the last bit of consciousness he said "Take care of Father and Mother ... Brother ... and ..." Cale tried to utter more words. He had many things to say but his body was no longer able to coordinate. His body was losing strength, failing to muster even a little energy.

"Take care brother..... I ... hope.... I'll try... to wake up". His words stopped depicting that his last bit of consciousness has already receded into his mind.

Venelana noticed that his breathing had become slower and deeper. Holding Cale's hands she broke down yet once again.

Sirzechs was in no better condition, but he did not shed a single tear, someone had to stand strong.

Zeoticus being the head of the family went away leaving the woman and her children alone to prepare for the announcement. A subtle way to indulge in work and decrease his sorrow.

But one thing every member held was hope. Hope that one day Cale would wake up...
