Lord of Lands: Child of the Prophecy (Book 1)

Prologue

 Venriesa (The Land of Casters) 

"Capture the rebel!"

I hide myself in the bushes and wait until the knights are not in the perimeter. Damn, Hevet's casting power is really scary. Thanks to my demon blood, I can move faster and my strength is much better. However, with Hevet's damage in my body, it slows me about twenty percent of my full performance.

I moved out when I felt that the knights are now gone. Their presence is not in the perimeter of my way. I used the secret path towards to that unfriendly caster's home, Henrie.

I have no time to knock, so, I just barged in, "Henrie, I need your—damn, can you stop that?"

"Sinclaire, you need to flourish your manners," he said and put down his lover and whisper. The girl silently did what he said and leaves us.

"Sorry, Lord Mage," I mocked, "Open the portal for me."

"What is it now, you punk? And you even dare to dirty my floor with your blood."

"Do you still remember the prophecy of the last High Priestess?" I asked and sat down not minding the blood dripping in my legs. Damn, why is it lot slower to heal than before?

"About the end of this world and it will be saved by a power of a child from another world?"

"Yeah."

"And? What does it have to do with your business with this mage?"

"Well, it will really happen, Henrie. The Lord of Venkier is planning on building a new world for the old demons." I said.

"Old demons? Why would he do that?! Is that punk already insane?"

"I don't know what he plans on reviving the old demons, but it's a sure thing that it's a bad news." I replied. I looked on my wound and it was starting to heal on its own, "Open the portal and I'll bring that child."

"You're a demon, Sinclaire, not a God! Do you even know where and who is that child?" he asked and stand, "You punk, you even dare tell silly missions."

"It's my real mission, Libra, the High Priestess gave this task to me ten thousand years ago," I told him, "And since, you're the last mage with the blood of High Priestess' guide, you know where and how I will find that child."

"And how sure are you that I will use my power to help you, demon? You're a sly fox," he asked as if testing me. This brat.

"I'm a demon, and I'm loyal to the High Priestess, brat," I told him, "Open the gates. We don't have any time left to us."

He glared at me but I just smirked, the blood of Von Wulfram is really in his cell. He walked upstairs and I followed him. We pass a lot of doors and when we reached an old door we enter. I can't really be too awed to this place, since, I've been here a lot.

"So, how am I supposed to know who is the child in the High Priestess' prophecy?" I asked and looked around in the room, the same old place.

"Lord Wulfram made a ring to find the child. In his journal, the High Priestess told that the stone in that ring will change its color from white to blue when the child is near. However, the child is casted with a great power of barrier, even the ring cannot detect the whereabouts of the child," he told and open a box, "This ring can only detect the child if he used his power."

"Wow..."

"It's a hard job, punk. Still dare to chase the kid?"

"Well, yeah. Open the gate now, you brat," I told him.

"Are you even listening? This quest is hard, you're going to another world!" he shouted.

"Brat, I don't need your concern," I told him.

"Who said I'm concern?!" he reprimand.

Brat!

"Come on! I need to find that kid, before the prophecy happens."

"Fine!" he said and throws the ring to me. I catch it mid-air and put it on in my finger.

He positioned himself in the middle of a big spell ring and chanted the spell to open the portal.

"I, Henrie Clem Libra, Lord of Wonders from Venriesa

With the blood of the High Priestess' guide—Von Wulfram

I command thy moon, open thy gates!

Lead the demon, Neon Viel Sinclaire, to the child from the prophecy

Open thy hearts; open thy gates!

Open thy mark with my blood! Open the gates! Libra!"

With the last word, the portal opened.

"Bring this orb with you, demon," he told and toss an orb, "I will communicate you with this."

"Thanks, brat. Farewell!" I bid and enter the portal.
