The Dark King (Completed)

Father

This song from Bach is perfect as background music for Luc's father, the Demon King.

-----------------------------------------------------

Chained.

Nothing new for him.

He always knows this would happen if he got captured by Him.

Luc is chained like a mere dog near his father's throne.

His father sneers to him. His shadowy figure looks almost solid now.

"Welcome back, Son."

He emphasizes the word son a bit too long.

Luc says, "You aren't my father."

"Yes. No wedding bond whatsoever. Just the one whom impregnated your pretty mom."

"Leave her out of this!"

Luc struggles but the chains are too thick to break with brute strength.

His father chuckles.

He mocks, "You think you could escape so easily after I got you back? Think again, Son."

"I'm not your son!"

The Demon King moves in lightning speed. Strangling Luc. His feet are dangling, unable to reach any footings.

Luc got thrown away.

He is gasping for air for a moment.

"Just kill me. I will never cooperate with you."

The Demon King asks, "Why should I? After I took so much troubles to get you back?"

Luc yells angrily, "Why? Why are you doing this?"

His father replies, "To save our demon race. You have seen our Homeland. It's dying. Our race would be extinct. Here? They could spread like wild fire. Impregnating other races. New breeds of more powerful demons."

"This is wrong!" yells Luc angrily.

"What is right? What is wrong? Based on whose judgment? As a king, it's my duty to preserve my race. I have no care for humans or other creatures. After all, they are just inferior beings. Cattles to us, demons."

Luc protests, "You could just keep them under control. Keeping them from killing each others."

"What's the fun in that? Only the strongest and smartest ones shall survive. It's our way of life."

Sharkie has arrived in throne room.

He mocks, "This moron could never understand our Noble way, Father. Save your breath."

The Demon King stares to Luc and shakes his head.

He laments, "Your human upbringing made you confused, Son. Wished I could free you soon from their grasp. Teaching you the demon's ways of life."

"You killed mom! You killed my grandpa!"

The Demon King sneers wickedly.

He corrects, "I believe you're the one who killed the lovely princess. By loosening some bolts."

Luc is silent. He closes his eyes. He did that. And his mother died. Yes, the bloody sin is on his hands.

The Demon King says, "I got only one duty for you, Son. It's very simple. You shall be our breeder. Multiple our race."

He whistles and three lovely demons appear at once.

Luc groans.

The Arachnes. Not his favorite ladies.
