The Lord Of Demons

Chapter One: A Rude Awakening

I woke up with a start as I felt something press against my chest, pushing down on it. I looked up to see what woke me up, and was greeted by the face of my personal witch, Sieria.

She has shoulder length messy red hair, and dark blue eyes. She's wearing what she normally wears to sleep, a pinkish white silk shirt and white wool shorts.

"Why are you waking me up? It's not even morning yet." I said, bothered by being disturbed while I was sleep.

"There's more of them. Heroes, I mean," Sieria said in a tired voice, "They just attacked and have already killed ten of our servants." She yawned

"How many are there?" I asked the witch, sitting up in my bed.

"Grei said that there are five of them, three male and two female," Sieria said, "One of them is a mage, probably their healer. We should get rid of that one first"

I sighed "Well, we better go then." I said as I got out of bed fully.

I walked over to a mirror to look at my reflection. A black wool shirt and pants is not the best thing to wear in a fight... but I probably don't have time to put on all my armor.  I moved a few strands of jet black hair from in front of my blood red eyes, and moved my tail side to side to wake it up fully. "Well, Sieria, lets get going"

We walked through the hallways of the castle, searching for the humans. On our way there we found Grei, who was looking for us.

Grei wears a black hooded cloak that covers his whole body, not even showing his face. Two glowing green orbs where his eyes should be, and in his hand is a dark gray staff with a small pale blade on one end and a dark green crystal in the shape of a spike on the other end.

"I've been looking for you two," Grei said, "The humans are raiding our kitchens. How unkind of them."

"Well, so is killing our servants, but has that stopped them?" Sieria said.

"I guess it has not." Grei replied to Sieria.

"Can we just hurry and stop these humans? I don't want anymore of our servants killed." I said to both of them.

"We can go now, Mido. The both of you take my hand and I will teleport us to them." Sieria said, holding out her hands to the two of us.

I placed my hand over Sieria's as Grei did the same. Then everything went weird, my vision stretching out and gaining a tint of blue and orange. After a few seconds everything went back to normal and we're all standing at the entrance to the kitchens. I could hear noises coming from the other side of the oak doors, and a conversation of some of the adventurers.

"-And I'm sure that we'll find them soon. Once we do, that reward is as good as ours." One of the adventurers said.

"What about the witch? We have to bring her in alive, so we have to find a way to capture her, right?" A second voice said.

"..I'll handle that.." A female voice said.

"If you say so, just try not to kill her, 'Kay?"

"Alright, lets get this over with" Sieria whispered to me. She then pushed open the doors and shot a blue blast of energy at the first person she saw, a man with messy brown hair wearing full iron armor, holding an axe, the blast hitting him in the chest, sending him flying into a wall.

I summoned my pitch black twin swords, dashing at the mage girl, who I noticed was a wood elf, I then swung one of my swords into her neck, a look of shock on her face as I grabbed her hair and pulled my sword through her neck, cutting off her head. Her body dropping onto the ground with a loud thump, then I dropped her head to the ground.

"H-how did he!?" One of them said.

"He was so fast..." Another said.

All of the adventurers were too shocked to notice Grei summon two skeletons that stabbed two more of the adventurers through the back, leaving only one more in their group, the one Sieria blasted died from the impact of her attack. The last adventurer fell to their knees out of fear as I walked over to them, my tail whipping around in random patterns.

"Oh God..." The adventurer said. "We were no match for you... I'm going to di-!" The adventurer was cut of by my sword being plunged into their heart.

"There," I said, "Now you wont miss them." I pulled my sword out of the dead body of the adventurer, his body falling to the ground.

"Well, that was easy. " Grei said.

"I have to agree with Grei. Those might have been one of the weakest groups that attacked us." Sieria said. "But now, I want to get some sleep before morning. You should too, Mido."

I nodded my head as I let my swords turn into black particles that disappeared into the air. "I'm still pretty tired myself"

When I made it back to my room, I collapsed onto my bed falling asleep almost instantly, not even noticing the person sitting on my desk.
