Demons in Wonderland

Chapter 1

    "Well that worked better than expected..." Solomon murmured, examining the robes, a dark aura emitting from Lucifer. "What. Do you. Mean "worked better than expected"?" Lucifer darkly growled. "The spell he was studying. Simeon told me he found a spell in a new grimoire he found. It seems like it's some sort of interdimensional travel sp-" "Inter-world travel. This isn't the Devildom, the Celestial Realm, or the Human Realm. It's another world entirely." Solomon said, interrupting Satan. "But if I'm here, who's watching the Devildom? And more importantly, where's Y/N?" Questioned Diavolo. Before anyone else could respond, a mysterious masked man standing only 8 inches taller than Beel, entered the room with the floating coffins. The man's face is concealed by a half-mask resembling a raven's beak. Through this mask, his eyes are occasionally seen glowing gold. He has pointed ears and short, wavy black hair. The mysterious gentleman also sports a greatcoat over his suit. Thick blackbird feathers curl out from its blue-collar, while the tips of the coat are cut to resemble two bird wings.

    He wears black gloves on either hand, with golden claw rings over each of his fingers. Three mirror-like accessories are attached to his hip, with four golden keys dangling from them. He wears another mirror-like charm on his hat, which has three more keys - making a total of seven. "Ah, you haven't moved. Splendid. I trust you're this year's new students?" "Eh?! How is he even scarier that Lucifer?!" Mammon exclaimed. "Dear me, of all the students I've dealt with, none have been as loud and rude as you." "Me? THE GREAT MAMMON? Rude? As if." Mammon scoffed, crossing his arms. "Either way, Orientation has started. Let us return to the Mirror Chamber." "Mirror Chamber? That sounds like something out of those fantasy novels Y/N likes to read" Satan murmured as the group followed the man out of the room. "Apologies, correct me if I'm wrong, but did you refer to us as students earlier?" "I did. You awakened in a room full of gates, did you not?" Inquired the man. "Well yes, but-" "All students here at the campus arrived by passing through such gates." The man simply replied, interrupting Satan's train of thought.

    Boy was that a mistake. Down the hall several widows shattered for seemingly no reason and the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling were shaking violently. "My, my. This surely is quite the predicament..." "Bro stop! You're gonna get us killed!" Mammon hissed. The man turned around to see Beel practically crushing Satan to keep him from rampaging. "May I remind you that you have a student orientation to attend? You should be making haste instead of shattering my windows. "Deepest apologies for my brother, He can be a bit temperamental." Lucifer apologized with a heavy sigh. "I understand we have places to be, but could you maybe tell us who you are? We just arrived here because someone can't keep his magic under control and fourth youngest of my brothers, Satan, doesn't fair well in unfamiliar places and he certainly doesn't play nice with people whom he doesn't know think they can tell him what to do." Lucifer rambled in one breath. 

    "Hm. I suppose I can explain while we walk. Truly, my magnanimity is boundless." He smugly smirked as they walked into the courtyard. Once there, he turned towards the group and cleared his throat. This is Night Raven College. It is an institution for students who demonstrate a rare aptitude for magic. It's the most prestigious school in all of Twisted Wonderland." "Well at least one of our questions is answered. "Satan murmured to Lucifer, still somewhat pissed about earlier. "And I am Dire Crowley. Having been entrusted with it's care by the chairman, I serve as the headmage." The man, now identified as Dire Crowley, continued. "That answers our two important questions. I suppose we should introduce ourselves as well." "Yes. I am Diavolo. This is Barbatos. He's one of my servants back home." Diavolo stated, starting off the introductions. "My name is Lucifer, I'm the oldest of the seven. My brothers oldest to youngest are Mammon, Leviathan, Satan, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, and Belphegor." "And we're their friends. I'm Simeon. They are Luke, Raphael and Solomon." Followed up Simeon. 

    "Now. I shall remind you that only those who the Dark Mirror perceives as having for talent are admitted to the college. Those who are selected are summoned to the campus through the same 'gates' you did, which can appear anywhere. A black carriage being one such gate should've come to meet you." "Yeah... that definitely  didn't happen..." Asmodeus commented. "Pardon?" Crowley questioned. "He's right. We were all hanging out, talking about someone we know who disappeared when poof. We ended up here in these robes." Raphael agreed. "Interesting." Crowley hummed. "That black carriage serves to receive a student chosen by the Dark Mirror. It too bears as a gate to this campus." This left the brothers deep in thought. Especially Satan. "Anyway, let us attend your orientation." Crowley stated, continuing the trek to the Mirror Chamber.

                                                                                    AT THE MIRROR CHAMBER...

    "We're done with orientation and dorm assignments?" A dark red haired male standing at about 5'2" questioned, scanning the room for any objections. "All right, new students- let me be clear. At Heartslabyul House, I am the law. Break the rules, and it's off with your head! "Well that ceremony was as boring as ever." A tall young man with tanned skin and long dark brown hair yawned. "I'm going back to the dorm. If you're in Savanaclaw, follow me. "New students! Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on your achievement!" A male of average height with short, wavy cool light gray hair and alluring bluish purple eyes hiding behind a pair of half-rimmed glassed with silver frames beamed with excitement. "As dorm leader of the Octavinelle House, I am honored to have the opportunity to support you in what I hope will be fulfilling campus experience. "Hey, does anyone know where the headmage went? His disappeared halfway through the ceremony..." A tall, fair skinned male with shoulder-length blonde hair that fades to purple at the ends and light purple eyes quipped.

    "Maybe he had a tummyache?" inquired another student. This student is 5'5" with dark skin, very short and choppy white hair and vibrant red eyes. "I most certainly did not!" Crowley exclaimed, as he burst into the Chamber, the demon bros and company in tow. "Ah, speak of the devil." The dark red haired boy murmured. "If you must know, i was searching for the new students who had failed to show up for orientation. Lucifer, step up to the Dark Mirror. And be quick about it." Crowley firmly stated, narrowing his golden eyes at the mighty first-born. "State your name." The echoing voice of the Dark Mirror commanded. "Lucifer." Lucifer stated, taking an authoritive stance with his arms crossed and eyes narrowed. "No nonsense, hm? And authoritive... Heartslabyul." "Riddle Rosehearts. I'm your housewarden." The dark red haired boy now known as Riddle stated, looking up at Lucifer with a hand on his hip. "Pink hair. you're next." "Asmodeus." Asmo purred, placing a  perfectly manicured hand under his chin and the other on his hip. 

    "Pomefiore." The Dark Mirror stated without hesitation. The purple-eyed blonde approaches Asmodeus. "I'm Vil Schoenheit, housewarden of Pomefiore." he introduced himself, giving the narcissistic fifth-born a once over and smirked. "Finally. A student I won't I have to punish for being indecent." With that the two rejoin the rest of Pomefiore as Levi steps up to the mirror. "Leviathan. But I prefer Levi..." "Quiet, not very out-going... The house for you is Ignihyde." A tall, very pale skinned male with long, bright blue, fire-like hair, sunken yellow eyes, and naturally blue lips stepped up to the otaku third-born. "I-I'm Idia Shroud, h-housewarden of Ignihyde..." He stated, sounding like he'd rather be anywhere but here. Next to be sorted is Solomon. "Your name?" "Solomon." the wizard stated with his usual mysterious yet smug smile. "Your intelligence is best suited is Octavinelle." Solomon nodded with a grin as he approached the light gray haired male. "I assume you're the one in charge?" "I am. My name is Azul Ashengrotto." Azul smirked, seemingly impressed. 

    Up next is Simeon, who's also sorted into Pomefiore. Like Solomon, Barbatos goes to Octavinelle, Mammon gets sorted into Savanaclaw, Satan goes to Scarabia, Diavolo and Luke also go to Heartslabyul, Beelzebub also goes to Savanaclaw, while Raphael and Belphegor go to Diasomnia. "Hmph. Nice to have a decent handful of students with magic. At our last ceremony we had a student without magic get accepted to NRC." Crowley commented, mostly to himself. "Orientation is over. everyone return to your dorms." The brothers and company immediately looking at each other, uncertainty written all over their faces. "Satan got put in a dorm alone. What in the Demon Lord's name are we supposed to do if he rampages?!" Mammon asked in a hushed whisper.
