Demon blood

Prologue

In the underworld there has always been wars between the hundreds of thousands of demons and there clans each with there own demon master. The demons chose a master when previous one dies in battle or when the time each master has to reign is up; each reign is for one hundred years. There are many ways to choose a new master such as: 1. they chose their best warrior as their new leader in hopes that his knowledge on the battle field will give them an advantage over their foes. 2. They hold a contest to see which one is the most skill full to be their new leader and 3. The previous demon master names a successor there are many more but these 3 are ones that are most used.

Just after the wars went into a full scale war form wars one clan at a time to two clans to all of them at once. There was a prophecy that concerned all of the underworld and the human world. It says that one of the most powerful, most skill full and the most deadly would betray the entire underworld to stop the ambition of the overlord of the underworld and his own clan. Some demon clan decided to withdraw from these war so they can gather there strength and their was one clan that turned against there own nature; most demons strive to be the power full for themselves and for their clan but this wanted to make peace with the other clans to stop this overlord from assuming power but they were laughed at, mocked and eventually killed. Those that survived their ridicule decided to find somewhere they could safe from the wars and keep watch for the overlord to assume power and he does he shall feel there vengeance.

It’s has been seventeen million years to the day since the prophecy was announced to the demon world, the demons are now over populating the underworld they are more deadly and more viscous. My demon clan has been separated from our kin for so long they thing that we are extinct because we have not made contact with them since the overlord took control that was one hundred and fifty years ago but twenty years ago outsiders some how found our clan and joined we were wary of them at first.

Since the time when my clan separated from the others we have trained our young to the most power full warriors that they can be they have trained us in swordsmanship, duel swords, ninja arts and how to tap into the demonic magic in the air.

However our clam lives were about to take a turn for the worst when we get word from our spies in the overlords city, the spy tells us that “the overlord has revealed his plan to his followers he plans to make a portal to get them into the human realm so he can rule them as well but there is one down side to his plan” said the spy

“What’s the flaw to his plan” asked our clan chief

“Well the flaw in his plan is that the portal can only be opened in the human realm. He has found several weak minded people that he may use but he is not doing anything until his army is ready for total conquest” growled the spy

“Thank you, you may leave all of you I must talk with our council about what to do next” said the clan chief and with the chief saying that all who had been in that room left.

“You there warrior stand guard by the entrance make sure no one gets though got it” shouted the clan chief

The council went though there plan I heard bits of it but what I heard disturbed me our clans leaders are going against our clans teachings so they can kill the over lord take charge of his clan rule the human realm instead of him. I could not believe what I was hearing I decided there and then to stop the overlord and to stop my clan. I would betray all the demons.

One demon against billions….

I have to betray them all….

But I can’t do it alone…

Or can I …

Chapter 1

A turn of events

4 months earlier

The wars that once ravaged the underworld are now a thing of the past although there are still some small skirmishes every now and then but there has not been a full scale war for one hundred and fifty years. The full scale wars were stopped when overlord Virgil defeated the remaining clans and the underworld was unified for first time ever in demon history and by doing this nearly all of the demons in the underworld answered to him and Virgil answered only to the prince of darkness himself.

However there was one clan which hardly any demon alive to this day knows about and that’s my clan. “Go get reaper he needs to hear this” ordered the clan chief, the messenger went to find reaper and as usual reaper was training in the fields of damnation. Reaper is the son of the clans last demon master, he is roughly 7 foot 9, average build but has more muscles on his arms and legs, long black hair with the colour of fire along the edges of his hair, he his trained in all forms of hand to hand combat, trained in the ways magic and he is the best sword master in the village.

“Reaper the clan chief wants to talk to you it sounds like a matter of grave importance” shouted the messenger

“OK give me a minute” replied Reaper as soon as he finished his reply he closed his eyes and started a chant his hands began glowing, Reaper snapped open his eyes they were glowing the same colour as his hands he jabs his hands forward and speed that’s hard even for a demon to reach when he is near finishing his set of fist strikes, he brings back one of his fists lets the energy build up darts towards a small hill and jabs his fist towards it as soon as he does that a demonic dragon head shots from his hand then blasts the small hill into rubble.

“Nice” says the messenger

“Yeah nice but not what I was going for” sighed reaper

“Well what were you going for” asked the messenger

“If you really want to know I was trying to summon a dragon and entrust one of her eggs to me” Reaper

When Reaper gathered up is belongings he followed the messenger to the hut of the clan chief.

“What is it that you wanted to talk to me about chief” asked Reaper

“It’s about your father and what he told me may change the course of demon history” exclaimed the clan chief

“Well what is it” asked Reaper

“He wanted to make you his successor after he had his accident” mournfully said the clan chief “He also told me about another part of the prophecy and where to locate but it was just to dangerous to get to it at that time with all of those new arrivals”

“He wanted me to be his successor why, my father and I never got along why he made me his successor and what’s this about that old myth” growled reaper

“It is no myth the demon that told us about the prophecy was one of the founding members of our clan and became our clan’s first demon master” told the clan chief

“What my father never told me that. He told me that the demon who announced it closely tied to our clan but I never knew that he was one of the founding fathers” said Reaper
