"The problem with wanting is that it makes us weak."
Sarian's pov:
I paced around my room. I don't get nervous a lot but when I do this was one of my habits.
I am playing with fire and my uncle would not let me live if it didn't go my way. I sat in my chair, stopping myself from pacing. I sent someone. Maybe they have more potential than I believe. Saying that did nothing to stop the worry I felt in my heart.
'No you little shit, you sent a weak demon to do a job meant only for the strong.' My inner voice argued with me. That is kind of true. Maybe that was my mistake, I should have gone myself.
No. If I did then I would have exposed myself, it's better if no one can connect me to it. But what if the demon speaks about who sent him? I have enough power to fight whoever he speaks to at my current level. Hell, I will have enough power to even fight my uncle for that matter, or my older brother, Sage. I've only defeated him when sparring a handful of times with this power I will be stronger than all of my family combined.
Seth burst into my room without knocking, I growled my eyes turning blue. I was on edge with the lack of information on my plans and his sudden appearance doesn't help at all.
I pulled myself back. "What do you want?" I spoke with a rough voice. Seth was the youngest of all of us even if we are the same age, he was adopted last so he is considered the youngest. He's loud, bursts in rooms without knocking, and he has no filter. He always says the first thing that comes to mind, not caring who it affects and how bad it sounds.
"Uncle wants a meeting with all of us." I was glad when he closed the door right away so he could miss how my heart escalated to abnormal.
I tried to calm myself down. If he knew he would have appeared to me directly. I held my shoulders high and exited my bedroom. I cannot let them interfere with my plans. Taking slow steps helped me calm down. If they know something I will deny it until the end.
I reached the headroom, uncle was already at his seat with all my brothers standing in front of him. I'm sure they all teleported here, first it was Sage, the eldest even if he is also our age, twenty two but he was the first to be adopted. He is really mean and powerful, and his height also exceeds ours as if they knew he was older.
Next we have the Twins Seion and Souei. Two demons that have thrown my ass left and right, real strong and real bullies, preying on whatever they can touch. Thankfully I've gotten stronger than them and can hold my own. I could kill them if I wanted to. Them tossing me around like a rag has made me stronger and with this new power I will be stronger than I am now.
I caught the eye of Sami, the fourth adopted child. He smiled at me in his evilness, he is brutal. I find him intriguing. If I need help with anything torture related I'd go to Sami.
Savial the fifth brother, he ignores me and that's fine except he ignores me because he believes he is stronger than me. I've been alive for twenty two years and for some reason I've only spared with Savial twice. Both times I was defeated but I'm stronger now and Ive been itching to show him that. He only cares about food and won't speak unless the conversation involves food. I am the sixth brother and lastly Seth.
"You couldn't teleport here?" Sami commented.
"I thought he couldn't." Seion added making everyone laugh except Savial. Fuck them, I can teleport and they all know it.
"Why didn't you get here faster?" Uncle asked. He's our adoptive dad but wants to be addressed as Uncle. He reminds me of a lion, crouching and waiting to attack when you least expect it.
"Because I wanted to walk." I shrugged.
"With those short legs, you should be running." Souei commented making all of them laugh once again. The twins deserve death and I wasn't in the mood to be laughed at. I am one of the tallest demons, six feet two is not short but I am the shortest among my brothers and that is only a few inches. They are like six two and a half or six three. Sage is the only one that exceeds us with his height of six feet five.
"The mouse spoke." I fired back, he looked like a mouse with his straight snug nose. He always hates it when anyone points it out and his smug smile disappears instantly, causing me to smile.
We stayed quiet and waited for what Uncle had to say. "As you all know Red has appeared back after one hundred years. Last time my brother got to use its power and this time it was supposed to be my chance." He stood up. "As it was being transported to me an accident occurred and red got stolen." We all gasped, I too fake gasped.
So I was successful, I felt relieved. That demon actually managed to steal the greatest soul in the entire universe, whoever holds it holds the greatest power in the world.
"Uncle, who is strong enough to steal such a soul?" Sage asked, not everyone can hold such power. With such power need a strong mind and body to hold it and stay sane or it can use you if you lack control.
I have been prepping my head for the moment and I believe Red will accept me. I have a strong mind and an equally strong body, that is needed for a soul like that.
"For now we don't know who has it. I need you all to go and find it and bring it back to me." We all agreed as we dismissed ourselves and went out. As soon as we left the room Seion pushed me into the wall.
"Where do you think you're going? Do you think because you've gotten a little bit stronger you can talk down on me?" I pushed him away, definitely not in the mood. My plans have already fallen through.
I punched him in the stomach, bringing him to his knees. "My attack was obvious." I tilted my head. "How come you didn't see it?" I pulled him by his hair. "If you ever try something like that again there will only be six brothers in this house."
I let go of his hair, pushing him back as I did so. "I am going to my bedroom, good luck to the rest of you." I gave a small smile before heading to my bedroom. I saw them disappear one by one and as soon as they all disappeared I teleported from hell and onto Earth.
If I were human I would be a God, maybe after I get Red I can be their God so they can worship me.
I disappeared through all of them while following my demon's scent. It took me a few hours before found my demon lying down barely breathing. "Feli." I touched his face trying to wake him up again. "Hey open you're eyes wake up." He slowly opened his drowsy eyes. "What happened? Where is Red?"
"It lost control and started entering everyone, he sucked the life out of all of them and me. Then he disappeared-"
"Are you fucking stupid? He doesn't just possess anyone." He can't enter a body that is not prepped for him so how can he possess them? Is there more that I don't know? Impossible I've done all of the research on the red. What am I missing?
"He was searching for something- he said he was searching for the worthy one." I almost laughed. Was he drugged in any way or was he utterly just stupid? The worthy one, of what? He is just a weapon, he possesses whoever is prepped for him.
"You couldn't do one stupid job?" I held him by his neck while bringing his face closer to mine. "Where did he go?"
"Anywhere, he is leaving bodies behind I have been following-" I twisted his neck and killed him. 'Useless.' I shouldn't have sent some stupid useless demon and went myself.
I glanced around, how am I to find out which body he is in if this earth is this big?
