Malevolence of Macrid

Chapter Two Destroy Scheiji

This is all in the present now. I have to forget the past, yet only my few artifacts of happiness remain there.
It's easy to forget, though. A grin spreads across my face as fire shoots from the dull grey palms of my hands. The dry, dead grass easily catches on fire. It spreads rapidly.
Huh. That's odd. Everything in Hell is supposed to be fireproof of our Demonic Fire. If if wasn't, we would have wildfires every day. Oh well.
I run forwards, leaving a thick trail of fire behind me that flares out and sets everything else around me ablaze. A shrill scream pierced the air. Way back in my brain, I recognise the scream. I don't process it, though.
The edges of my vision are faded red. The Obsidian Palace comes faintly into view. I must be going fast. It usually takes me at least ten minutes to walk until I can see the castle. It only took me a few seconds this time.
I hear the sharp gasps echo around me, yet at the same time I don't hear them. I've arrived in Central Circle now. This is the main part of the city Scheiji. A lot of Demons are here at the moment.
Fantastic.
I run towards my first victim, who freezes up with I'm assuming (and hoping) is fear. The fire around me flares up and seems to lunge at the Demon. They let out a shrill scream. I watched their skin peel and melt off, turning from an angry red to ash black. Angry red veins trace themselves around the iris of their eyes. The light layer of moist skin coating their eyes melts off. Their eyelids are nothing but a thin flap of smoldering skin.
Now on to my next victim. I burn them, possibly worse than the first.
Next victim. Worse than the first.
Next victim. Worse than the first.
Next victim. Worse than the first!!
It's all a blur of fire and screams after the forth Demon I killed. I have completely forgotten my main goal.
But what does that matter! Everyone here will DIE!
But one thing is worrying me in the back of my mind as I tear the stringy, rough flesh out of someone's throat.
'Did I kill Princess Rin?'
Why should I care, though?! She's just another face in crowd! The only thing that makes her different from the others is that she's a Royal, and she has a different element from the rest of us Demons.
It doesn't matter if she's a kid; I've killed countless kids by now. So then... Why am I worried about the Princess?!
'You need to stop thinking about this,' my mind somehow manages to think to me. 'Shes just another Royal. And you hate Royals.'
That's very true. I do hate all the Royals.
Oh well. I'll just forget about her for now. Right now I have to focus on killing off the population of Scheiji.
Maybe after everyone's dead and I've calmed down, I'll worry about Princess Rin. Maybe I'll even go look for her.
Just maybe.
