The Voice Apostle was summoned and relayed the details of the meeting with the lord ruler of the Order and the message they carried. Once finished, the apostle left the council chamber.
Heralds of old, anointed by the demigod of death, shared their opinions about the meeting until silence fell. The queen remained silent, listening and observing the council quietly. Then, the demigod spoke, breaking the silence.
"That lord ruler is a demigod." Says the demigod of death breaking silence,
The council members looks at the demigod without saying a word.
The Queen of death looks at him and asks, "How so?"
Long before the Order rose to power, demigods of long ascended gods roamed even before the demigods of the Order existed. As such one of them, the demigod of Death thousands of years ago.
After the Age of dragons came to an end, the gods took their chances and ascended to godhood, being chosen by their masters the celestials. But to be a god, is to be controlled. Caged in godhood, one could not be saved.
The celestial of death had already chosen its herald to be the god of death. Years go by, decades pass and the world did its part. Demigods rise either by their own, or ascended by their gods.
However, the demigod of death ascended on his own to power but with a sacrifice. The demigod, before he became a demigod was a former blood demon hunter. He wielded a long sword made of dragon steel forged from the depths of the dragon city, this was before he wielded his current weapon.
He hunted blood demons all his life, even killing a full grown wyvern the size of a mountain, or was it all just a story. Nonetheless he hunted for living. It all changed when he ventured to the mountains.
When he visited a small town near the mountains to rest during his travels, he overheard the townsfolk in a panic over a missing girl. Seeking shelter for the night, he found an inn. The following morning, as he prepared to continue his journey, he noticed posters about the missing girl, each offering a reward—a reward he couldn't ignore.
Taking one of the posters, he returned to the inn he had just left. He inquired with the innkeeper about the missing girl. The innkeeper explained that she had disappeared only the previous evening. The villagers had searched the entire area, and some even ventured into the mountains, only to be driven back by wyverns and encountering a thunder dragon.
After hearing the innkeeper's account, he thanked the man and left quietly. Mounting his horse, he set off on his journey, to find the missing girl. The blood demon hunter sets out on his journey.
