Master's POV:
6th century Constantinople

"I am tired of all this failure! We need to find the Pureblood!" Master screamed at the gathering demons waiting in front of him. The Pureblood was created from the last good essence of the Nameless One. Most call him Lucifer...but that isn't his name. We demons as far as we know the story of the ancient, The Nameless One wasn't always evil, He was once a favorite amongst the Creations. However, he was thrown off from his ranks into the pits of hell when he decided not to acknowledge a new generation. With that one mistake, He lost everything. Only the demons, His creations know that the Pureblood is their only escape. Locked in her is their key to open all the demon portals. 

Master needed the Pureblood. It took him years searching for the Pureblood throughout human history. Amongst the human one such Pureblood is born. Master had missed his chance in Egypt a millennium back. He was so close to locating it but the Pharaoh killed it before he could have sacrificed it for the final door to Hell. Why did Pharaoh's war had to come in between his plans? But this time there is no one to save the portal. The Pureblood will be all his.

"Demons, I was sure the pureblood would be in service to The Above, but I was wrong. I believe the only way we can capture the Pureblood is if we release the plague seeds. All I know is that this time the Pureblood is born as a girl" Master pulled out tiny black seeds from his robe and threw them towards the demons. The seeds broke spreading a black fume around the cavern. "Those seeds will not harm us but to any human, it will kill them within hours or even minutes. But some humans will carry and spread, but they will die eventually. In the end, only the Pureblood will live. Take those seeds and spread them wherever you go my fellow demons."

Those low ranking demons kept looking at Master without saying anything. Master didn't care if nothing went inside their dense heads, but he needed this Pureblood. Humans have ruled this land for long enough. It's time for total destruction. It is time for the demons to rule.

"I will go and spread the seed Master." From within the groups of the demon, a demon walked forward and bowed

"You, aren't you the same demon who I dismissed yesterday. You dare come in front of me!" Master shouted as he pointed a finger at the demon bowing before him.

"I am sorry Master. Please I beg you for Mercy. I am only your servant Master; I am your Nazareth." He bowed down pleading for his life. This was the most satisfying thing. As being one of the rulers of all demons they only bow down to Master and fulfill his every wish.

"Nazareth, what a peculiar name to select. Hmm, didn't Jesus come from Nazareth? I will give you one last chance. You may be some help to me." Master got up from his throne and picked the demon up. He could see the hunger for power in Nazareth's eyes. He might be the right demon to help him find the Pureblood, Master thought

"I will not fail you, Master." He got up and took the plague seeds with him.

"Now that my dog is out trying to sniff out the Pureblood I will leave the rest of you flees here in this filth." Master was about to leave, but he remembered his little toy. "Where is that girl?"

"She is locked up in the dungeon Master. We were thinking of eating her since she isn't the pure blo..." With one swipe of his hand, Master beheaded the demon. The black blood splattered all over his clothes. All the other demons moved back in fear.

"No one but me plays with my toy!" Master screamed as thousands of demons backed away from him. The fear in their eyes fed his soul. "She is here for my entertainment; no one will touch her, but me!" Master walked to the dungeon to play with his toy.

I don't need her, but her pain was beautiful. People find art beautiful, but I find pain the most beautiful thing especially on a human. Seeing her laying on the floor covered in blood and gore was just breathtaking. Her clothes tattered and her face covered by her hair. She was art, created by me. Master thought looking at Lucia.
