My name is Leolion Nekogami I am the 10th heir to the throne of The Lord of Hell Emma-O. This is my memoir which starts when I was seven and to document the achievements and history of the 3rd Nekogami of the Neko Kingdom. At the beginning of my life my name was Leolion-O, but now this is no longer important I guess I will start where my young life was changed forever......
"Where am I?" My eyes open slowly, then looked down to see shackles on my hands and feet, my tail swayed fast and there is a sound of horses snorting in the background. I look up and see a dog demon that is about 7 feet tall, has 9 tails, all white with long fur and fox like ears and is wearing black armor with a fox head in the center of the armor. "He must be from the Kitsune clan", I say to myself in a sharp hiss. I sit up and look at the carriage which has ten other demons in it a banshee, a vampire, a kappa, a lilitu, a yuki-onna, a fire snake, a werewolf, a guard of hell, a nephlim, and a living flame. I look over at the nearest demon who is the Yuki -Onna,a spirit of the snow, she like the others, and most likely me as well, were stripped naked and covered in bruises all over our bodies. She seemed to have been around my age and scared out of her wits. I have heard of something similar to this in my lessons that I normally slept through. I realised that I was being taken to work as a slave.
When we reached the camp they gave me something red to drink that when I drunk it burned my throat and drained me of my powers and made me mentally weak. They fed us their table scraps every noon time to keep us on the cusp of being alive, if we worked too slow they would whipped us with spines of dead demons or burn us with prods like we were cattle. We had to live in cabins that we built ourselves out of straw, sticks, and bone that could barely stand the winds of Hell. Our clothing was made from the skins of our fallen comrades. When I was 13 I was able to gain the strength to learn to fight in an underground slave rebel group. This faction gave us enough food in order to live and become strong as well as an antidote to the red liquid fed to us daily by the Kitsune. Over time we had enough people to lead a full slave rebellion and to commit a full genocide on the Kitsune Clan. After the rebellion I heard word the my father was who sold me to the Kitsune after having my mother executed. I also heard that the Neko Race were under attack by the Elves so I joined the ranks and fell in love with a young Neko by the name of Saya.
At this time the Neko Tribes were a loose federation tribes led by varying Chiefs. Non-the-less to say this did not make for a very disciplined army. A solution was made by Tacitus of the Leopard tribe to form a Republic led by a Senate and to have the military to be led by an elected general who will break the military up into Legions. This was accepted by the Chiefs who took the place as the Senates. The Tribes were seventy-six in total creating a total of seventy-six senators and one thousand legions to fight the invading Elf army. The name appointed to the leading general of the entire force of legions was the Fascie.
When I entered the Legions the Fascie was Asagard from the tribe of the Tiger. He was tall with golden eyes. His tail was black and demeanour was sharp, you could see scars from previous wars, I heard in the lunch halls that he fought in the Neko uprising against god a million years ago, he wore a crest that is bestowed by the senate that shows that he won against a thousand other Nekos to reach this rank. This crest struck fear into the hearts of all of my friends. He wore only a black uniform. "Soldiers, welcome to your first day of training the senate appointed me to train you......" The sound of thunder echoed across the sky as we see our barracks blow up and Elves kill and mame. I react by drawing a blade and fighting as the rest of my comrades cowered in the dark. I see a blur of black and a line of Elf bodies with their organs torn out and blood everywhere left behind it. I killed ten while this blur killed hundreds in a split second.
Within 10 years of the Senates rule the military started a revolution led by the Fascie and me. I trained the men and fought against the Republicans. His job was to rally the poor peasentary, the workers, and the rest of the legions. The revolution lasted for 100 years. During the revolution I was finally able to meet up with Saya. Saya was by this point a trained soldier and was loyal to the Fascie. We fought side by side and grew a bond that only a soldier can understand. At the end of the 100 years we flew the flag of the Fascies and appointed Aragon the supreme leader of the Neko. We appointed him the new name Aragon Nekogami and gave him a ring with the power to call upon all of the powers of the Neko people. I gave up my position and returned to the normal rank and file of everyday military life.
I was called to war against the Elf colony in the west of the Neko Kingdom. They were craftsmen and farmers just everyday people, but in the centre of their colony was a temple were they made animal sacrifices and offerings to their gods. They were skilled users of magic and their main sword maker makes only ritual swords and daggers. We were called to slaughter them because they sold supplies to the Dog Clans and were a danger to us and our borders. I got married to Saya a week before the war and she was enlisted to the front lines by general Issacar.
Saya and I decided to fight the Sword Maker head on in the Temple, were we learned that he lived. Each weapon in the temple seemed alive and like they were crying for blood, not animal blood but the blood of the enemies of the Elven people. Saya and I decided that I was to face the Sword maker head on and she would kill him from behind since she specialised in stealth. She hid behind the Altar. The Altar was made of gold and stone. Behind it was an arrangement do daggers made for every animal that was dictated to be clean by the laws of their gods. But on the altar laid a sword wrapped in black clothe. This sword emitted a strange aura that sent shivers through my spine and terror in my heart. I would latter learn that it was called Tenebrae. A man in a black hooded robe walked into the Sanctuary. I bow, " Hello priest, could you let the Sword maker know that we require his presence?" The man lifts down his hood and says in a strong voice that echoes," It is I who you seek." In a flash I slash at his throat and he blocks me with a dagger in his hand.
He and I fought hand to hand till I decided to use Alka. When he saw me use it he laughed, he then pulled out of the air a pure black sword. "Neko you have learned the art of Hell!" he said. I then looked at him oddly, then I clapped my hands and created a sword from the ground and fought him. My wife hid behind the altar tried to stab him from behind but the swords moved and stabbed her on the altar like a sacrifice. I cut off his hands and took his Shadow Blade. He disappeared and I never saw him again. The sword then sung to me a song that was so beautiful, it made me forgot that my wife was killed.
I slaughtered the town like I was commanded. I look back now and realised that this day left me stained with the blood of innocent people blood stained with the blood of innocents. The death toll was from the Elves 2 million and from the Neko 6. That town was then burned to the ground and in it's place the capital was moved to it. The castle which also is the neko temple. The role of Nekogami included from that day, 1st of Asgard year 1, not only the executive leadership but also the role of a philosopher-king that was also a priest. After Asgard died his son took over. His form resembled that of his father's but had grey eyes. Asgard's son, Beniel, ruled for 1 million years and died. He had no sons. But by that time I have fought 40 wars and had the highest military experience and was loved by all classes of people. I was then ringed by the Council of Tribes Nekogami, my name changed but not my personality. I elected a Fascie to take my place when I am on vacation and visited a newly formed realm called Earth.
It at this time is only 5 years of age. I watched a couple be thrown out of a garden. I walked to the couple and their children. I talked for a while and learned that the man's name is Adam. I spent a year with Adam teaching him to farm and to write. I then decided to teach Adam Alka and I wrote it the secrets of Alka in a sacred book I call Liber Magus. I then left him to wonder about the earth and marvel at this newly created world. I wondered three houndred years I have recorded everything about this world I recorded every plant and their uses as well as every animal, bug and planet that can be seen from this planet. I reached a newly founded city whose founder was Romulus. Romulus wore a crown of Olive leaves and wore a tunic with a red cape as a sign of being this city's king. He was a strong man till he decided to fight a dragon that ate him whole he was then followed by seiries of Eutruscan kings. I spent the reign of King Tarquinius Superbus in the temple he built to Jupiter there I listen to the Syble who was able to spot me as a very powerful demon she said to the crowed " by the high powers of Hades the king shall be uplifted by a low throne". I then took the form of an eagle then left and everyone but the syble believed me to be Jupiter.
I then took the form of a mere Eutruscan and watched the king in his rule of the Latins. He was cruel and loved war. I
remembering the reign Asgard killed the king when he was traveling in Greece ushering in the age of the Roman Senate. I taught the philosophers of Rome a and then left to go home and to rule my own kingdom.
