The Lost Son (Highschool DxD Fanfiction)

S1 E10: The Rise of the King

Ashur POV 

Ashur shot up from his sleep and onto his feet, then quickly began to take in his surroundings. He was in an unfamiliar bedroom that had large red curtains that faded to black at the bottom. A set of double doors were shut closed and there was a large mirror hanging beside the door.

"Where am I?" Ashur spoke out loud, his eyes wandering around the room even more. After travelling across the room, even more, his gaze stopped at the bedside table which held a set of fine clothes along with a note. As he grabbed the note and read it, his eyes widened in confusion.

"Mr Ashur Hyodou. When you awaken, leave through the double doors and wear these clothes."  He quickly read the note over and then sighed in confusion as he reached for the fine clothes. As he put the black and red suit on he noticed an embroidering on the sleeve. As Ashur looked at it, he immediately recognized it as the same symbol that Rias summons in her magic circles.

"Am I...in the underworld?" Ashur pondered as he finished tying his tie and opened the double doors. The double doors led into a hallway that continued to a single door at the end of the hall. Seeing no other options, Ashur continued into the hall and with every step, he heard indistinct chattering beyond the door. As he made it the singular door and pulled it open, he saw a group of people, all sitting on thrones. As he stepped inside the talking immediately stopped and they all began to focus on him.

"Welcome!!!" A voice boomed from the back of the chamber, "It's nice to see that you didn't keep us waiting!!!" Ashur was first confused on who the voice came from but he quickly figured out it came from a redhaired man in a large golden throne.

"Thank you...for having me?" Ashur responded with slight confusion in his tone, causing the room of people to roar in laughter.

"No need to be nervous Ashur-san!" The redhead chuckled while rising from his throne, "My name is Sirzechs Lucifer and I'm Rias Gremory's older brother." For a second, the lessons that Rias had taught him about how the underworld and heaven works paid off.

"Well... it's nice to meet you!" Ashur sputtered while bowing to man who was still approaching.

"There is no need to bow," A hand clasped his shoulder, causing Ashur to look at the man who was now smiling down at him. "A friend of my sister's is a friend of mine." Ashur quickly drew himself out of his bow and was now eye level with the man.

"So...if you don't mind me asking..." Ashur asked, his confusion still apparent in his voice. "Where am I and why am I here?" In response, the man began to chuckle again while turning him to look at the other three people in thrones, and the people around them.

"You're at you devil awakening party in the main estate of the Lucifer home in the underworld," He said, a chipper smile on his face as he referenced all of the people in the room. "We wanted to give you a warm welcome to the devil community!"

Rias POV 

"Where is Ashur?" Issei questioned nervously while following Rias as she entered the clubroom.

"He's fine. There is no need to worry." Rias snapped at Issei and disregarded his question as she sat down in her desk.

"I didn't ask how he was, I asked where he i-" Issei snapped back in a defiant tone, and was clearly worried about his brother.

"ISSEI!" Rias roared at him causing him to jump back from the volume of her voice. "I can't tell you where he is but I can assure you that he is okay!" Rias's gaze travelled to the boy's face who was tensed and angry.
