EGO

AWAKENING

My eyes slowly opened as the smell of musk filled my nose. I was laying in a bed unknown to me, but the black silk sheets felt great against my skin.

"You're finally awake. I was beginning to worry."

Immediately, I sat up at the sound of the voice, and what was in front of me was definitely not human.

"Where am I?"

The creature was tall with lizard-like skin....but it was a dark crimson color. Black horns stuck out from each side of his head with hooves for feet. Black claws stuck out from his fingers and spiked black teeth glistened from the fireplace's light.

"Your castle in the Underworld....this is one of your rooms." He handed me a black silk robe.

I realized I was completely naked but didn't really care what happened to my clothes. I'm sure whomever this is will have a good enough explanation...and if he didn't, what could I possibly do about it.

"Dev, I wanted to tell you sooner about me and everything else, but you weren't ready."

"Ollie? Wow, you're not what I expected."

He smirked. "I figured that. My name is Osmodeus."

"You really expect me not to call you Ollie?"

He laughed. "No, I don't. I'm just letting you know, just in case."

Putting the robe on, I slipped into some comfortable black velvet cushion slippers. Once I got a better look at what's around me, I noticed the room and the bed were huge.

I followed Ollie out into the long hall that had rooms on each side. The black marble flooring and crimson walls complemented each other. Soon, I stood at the top of stairs that led to a wide open space of very high ceilings and arched windows.

The outside showed orange-red skies, black trees, and hill tops. I was at a loss for words taking in my surroundings.

We got to the bottom of the steps, and Ollie took me through enormous double doors. Ahead of me stood a throne sitting high on platform steps with four black pillars on all sides.

"This is your throne, Dev. Try it out..." Ollie smiled at me.

I walked up the platform steps and sat down on the black cushioned, gold trimmed throne. It was very comfortable... too comfortable. A surge of energy pulsated from feet up to my head that caused me to close my eyes, groan, and lean back in pleasure.

I opened my eyes, and what looked like a hundred people stood in front of me.

"My Lord, it is a pleasure to be at your service, anything you want, need, or demand. Please let any of us know." An older man wearing an army uniform said to me.

Everyone behind him bowed, agreeing with him. It was like a dream.

"It's very real, Dev. These people are your servants and have been waiting years to meet their ruler."

***

I sat in the study room of my castle.....that sounds so weird saying....My castle. Ollie was so different from how he used to be, but I understood he did say he was maturing, and this is the new and improved mature Ollie.

He walked in carrying a gold tray of food and drinks. I was starving, so this was right on time.

"So am I stuck here?"

"No, you can go to the human realm as much as you please. Honestly, it would be preferable if you still lived your regular life the way you've been living it. It makes it a lot easier to get souls that way."

"Oh shit... I forgot about that part."

"It's not what you think it is, Dev. You're not gonna go around just killing people on a whim. You're giving them an option of coming to the Underworld to finish out their lives, and whatever choices that they make here will determine their souls final destination."

"Still sounds like the reaper...." I cut into my steak.

"More like an organizer. I mean.....you may have to take a few people out for your own protection, but you've done that already."

I looked at Ollie... he was right.

"My Lord, I was sent here to wait on you. Is there anything you want or need?"

This woman was absolutely gorgeous with eyes like crystals. Her voice was soft and tiny, and her skin was the color of a beautiful night sky. Thick tight curls touched her shoulders, and her full lips looked edible.

She was small in height, and the sheer white nightgown showed the curves of her breast, thighs, and behind, which caused me an instant erection.

"I'll leave you two alone..." Ollie smiled and walked out.

"What is your name?" I asked her.

"Raven." She bowed.

"Come closer, Raven."

She walked towards me with no hesitation, I wanted to fuck her at that moment but calmed myself.

"What exactly can I ask of you?"

"Anything you want, my lord."

"Anything?"

I already knew the answer but needed reassurance.

"Yes, my lord. Since I was a little girl, all I ever wanted was to meet you and be your personal servant. It didn't matter what you may have looked like or how mean you would be....my soul purpose is to please you."

"Really?"

"Yes and seeing how handsome my lord is.....It would be my absolute pleasure to do so."

She looked down, avoiding eye contact and I leaned back and smiled in amazement.
