Vigorous Force

Chapter One

I.

Boots scuffed the floors of the underworld's royal palace. The movement was strong, forceful, terrifying for those who didn't even have anything to be worried about. The doors to the dinning room opened dramatically, butlers and servants bowing respectively to the eldest prince of the underworld, Scout O'Connor who had just entered, still clad in his battle-armour.

"You could at least try to look presentable when attending dinner." The sneer of his sister caught his stern attention. Jade O'Connor, The second eldest child to the king and queen of the underworld - also a pain in the ass for Scout. "When do I have the time. I will be out training those half-witted soldiers before and after dinner." Scout returns boldly before taking his seat to right of Jade. Across from the two elder siblings, sat Scouts youngest sister, Freya O'Connor and Scouts only brother, Brett O'Connor - who would be considered a teenager in mid-earth language.

It didn't take long for the king and Queen to arrive. King Parker O'Connor and Queen Miriam O'Connor of the underworld.
The family ate relatively silent - aside from small conversations Freya and Brett were having. Parker finally turned to Scout and cleared his throat "Scout. As your father and king, I outrank you." He begins, scout looking out the corners of his eyes as everyone watches, his mother looking rather tense "And you take tanks seriously." Scout only nodded to his fathers comments "I have arranged a marriage for you. You will be marrying the son of the god and goddess' Kira and Idris' son." He explains.

And with that, Scout stood, his chair falling as the backs of his knees pushes the wood to the ground. Immediately butlers and servants began scurrying to pick it up "That's preposterous! We're demons, they are gods and goddesses!" Scout shouts angrily, his hands balling into fists "And it'll tighten the truce we have with them. It is about time you married. And what better than to mix demonic genes with divine." Parker continues, scout shaking his head "I won't do it." He says sternly "You will do as I say as I am your father and your king!" Parker shouts now, his voice causing the room to seemingly shake.

Scout only stood there glaring at his father "You will leave for Mid-earth, Woodland Hills in a week." Parker says after a moments silent, Brett and Jade both standing "I want to come!" Both say in unison, Parker looking forward his two other children "Granted." He says, scout frowning "They are allowed their wishes granted but mine are out of the question?" He growls, Parker looking back to Scout "Living on mid-earth will give them the opportunity to find someone to marry. Because unlike you, who's always training soldiers, they are adventurous." He says sternly, scout growling lowly in his throat.

Mid-earth was not a place Scout enjoyed. It was full of naive, weak imbeciles who thrive on living short meaningless lives in his opinion. Jade and Brett thought differently to Scout - because demons have an extraordinarily long lifespan, they enjoy the thought of short-living species making the most out of their lives.

There wasn't much of a different in the three realms compared. However, in the demon realm, instead of sending children to school they are taught by commanding soldiers how to fight and survive. And because of the powers demons had in the demon realm, The buildings and surroundings were made to support different abilities.

The god prepped to marry Scout had already spent half a month in Mid-earth, learning how to live like normal humans - he's enrolled in the local high school of Woodland Hills.
