The Chaos Wars

Chapter 3

( I added this song because it fits the theme well and its a banger)

(??? POV)

He entered the bar quietly, not wanting to attract attention or anything else. It was a shitty bar, even for the Pride ring and its known lack of decent places to procure liquor. Nonetheless, he sat at the bar and ordered a vodka. He downed it quickly and got another, repeating a few times.

In the corner of the bar, there was a gambling area and a condom machine being operated by some hot pink succubus that was clearly drunk as demonically possible, and was getting frustrated with the machine. He grinned slightly as what looked to be a red imp with a white spot over his eye took his shot and went over to her to try and help her. They started to talk and he mentioned for them to go in one of the toilets to 'talk' more. The pink bitch, drunk and possibly high, stupidly agreed and he felt a weird admiration to the imp as he strutted with the succubus to the lust and jealousy of others towards the toilet. He thought about it for a second longer and then moved back towards his drink.

The bar was filled with people, all drinking and looking down on their luck, trying to find the end in a bottle. he chuckled to himself, he knew that all they would find is more misery and pain. Not him, his mission was far too important for that to be depressed. The Emperor would never allow such stupidity as depression or disobedience in his new empire.

Behind the bar, he noticed, was a painting of the old royal family. The tall, proud family that had ruled from thousands of years, the memories came flowing back painfully. The Halhatatlan had been dethroned long ago by the Morningstars, the war that had broken Hell into its damned nine circles, the war that had broken the ancient sea of Ungioal and cast down Jesus from his high throne. His people had been nearly wiped out by those fucking demons and left him an orphan. They would pay in due time, all of them would die for their crimes.

He found himself clenching tightly on his glass at the thought of it. The war had been unprecedented and brutal, the armies of the Halhatatlan had been destroyed, the fleets were wiped out at Kazia with such discipline and speed it was incredible. He could still remember the smell of the Irbintinium shells hitting the decks of his fathers ships, the roar of the returning fire, the clumps of blood in his hands as his father died in front of him to a white smile.

He could see the face in front of him, taunting him, Hey kiddo, he had smirked, keep this up and you could be in your dad position, dead at my feet. Something had exploded next to him in that moment, both in real life and on the ship, and he had been thrown back with a shard of metal lodged into his jaw bone as Lucifer flew away laughing. He ran his hand across the scar on his face, he hand was wet, that odd, he turned to see he had squeezed so hard that the glass had exploded and there were small cuts on his face, but he hardly noticed them.

After the explosion, he had taken control of the fleet and split the fleet in two, one was to turn south while firing a smoke screen while the other engaged the enemy, giving the second fleet time to escape. He had escaped on 2nd fleet and had watched as his fathers ships fired gloriously one last time before the Morningstar fleets obliterated it in a folly of fire so heavy the ship had shaken.

Father, he had silently swore, I will avenge you and destroy the Morningstars. He had then done the Empires salute and dipped his head towards the dawning sun. His fleet had meet up with 36th fleet, or the remnants of it, and had escaped to Azörökváros where they defended for three months until he was needed elsewhere by the Emperor. He had told him to protect his son as they crossed even further south across the Iiani desert.

 Signing from the memory , he cleaned the bench, and took some of the foxglove powder from the bag in his pocket to calm his nerves. The white powder was the only thing that kept him calm in such situations. He asked for another drink from the pissed off bartender after his last drink. He took two more sniff and then  After this, he saw some others looking at the TV incredulously and glanced at it warily.
