Chapter 4: Deep Down Under

Helio Kingdom,

Deep Down Under

Deep down under, about ten thousand feet above the sea, lies a kingdom of the demons and evil creatures called Helio. It was even below the massive rocks and fiery volcano where thousands and hundreds of demons reside. And the capital called Helio was the cruelest among them all.

“I gathered you all today because I have an announcement to make. I want all Demon Kingdom to listen to what I am about to say. Do you all understand?”

The voice of the Demon King named Belzebub echoed as the population of demons gathered in front of him. The throne he was sitting was outside the fiery volcano where lava and magmas were pouring out.

“Yes, our lord,” responded by all crowds of demons and creatures in front of him.

“Great. Now, everyone, listen!” his voice is authoritative. Each one under his feet must listen. “I said listen!”

He was furious when he saw and heard someone from the crowd chuckled or giggled while he was talking. And what happened to the one who made noise? He was immediately pulled out from the crowds and thrown on the boiling magma from his back.

“Whenever I said you all listen, you have to stop murmuring, complaining, chuckling, giggling, or whatever things my ears can hear. All else, you will end up like the one I have thrown on the fiery pit of the volcano behind my back. Do you all understand?”

His eyes were fierce. Boiling like the fire from behind. Many of the demons watching him were terrified, scared, and even shaking. Even the strongest and cruelest warriors in Helio bowed in front of him and give way to listen to the demon king. Whoever passes through his road, he will instantly kill them on the spot.

“That's more like it. I can't hear chuckled anymore or noises. Every one of you are quiet. All I can hear now is the throbbing and beating of your scared heart. And I love to hear that. Now, all of you, listen up!”

And his words continued, grinning like a hideous monster who loves pushing someone from behind to kill them.

“My term as the Demon King is likely to end. And I want all of you to devote your loyalty and honesty towards the next king of Helio. I will appoint my only son Asmodeus to be the next king of Helio. I need all of you to prepare for his coronation. Do you hear me?”

His voice echoed again, and it reverberates the entire crowds of deadliest, cruelest, and the wicked among the wicked. And present from the crowd was his only son, the heir to the Helio Kingdom, and the next king of the demon named Asmodeus.

“Yes, our lord. We heard you!”

While every single demon clap their hands, raises their voices, shouting their excitement about the announcement the king of demons had made, Asmodeus just heave a sigh, panting heavily then slowly find his way to leave the crowd.

“This is insane. Why is father eager to appoint me as the next king when he is still fine and healthy?”

Asmodeus, hiding his face from the passersby using his invisible power, murmured in his thoughts about his father's intention of giving him the entire kingdom.

“I don't think I can handle the same way as my father did on that crowds of demons and evils. I guess, leaving Helio for a while would be great to think it over before I decide to accept father's offer.”

Asmodeus thought of leaving Helio for a while, but he can't think of any place to go. Helio is the capital, and the other seven cities surrounding are called seven deadliest Sin City. Those are named; Abhiman, the City of Pride, Averis, the City of Greed, Anasuya, the City of Envy, Desiree, the City of Lust, Gula, the City of Gluttony, Kali, the City of Wrath, and Acedia, the City of Sloth.

These are the seven deadliest Sin City under the wings of Helio Kingdom. And Asmodeus couldn't even want to stay or hide for a while from those cities. He just can't,, and he doesn't want it. He is the son of Belzebub, but he doesn't want demons and evils to know that he's fleeing for a while, or else, his father would surely want his underlings to keep watch to him wherever he went.

“Aha! How about if I return first to my chamber and look at my boiling pot, and see a place where I can keep myself hidden from this kingdom? That would work then. I must go back first to my chamber.”

And Asmodeus decided to return to his chamber. He has a special room made by his father where he can see from his boiling pot, sort of magical spring in his chamber that can see beyond what's visible and invisible from the demon's eyes. That's the only way he can find some place to relax, think, and meditate temporarily.

“The passing of the throne for my son will be done in the next eruption of the volcano behind my throne. And I want all of you to settle your scores in preparing all necessary things on the day of my son's enthronement!”

Those words suddenly pop up in Asmodeus minds. He just shook his head while headed towards his chamber. He'll deal with the enthronement day once he found the place he was looking for.

“Why am I walking back to my chamber? Why not use my power instead?”

Asmodeus realized that he also has powers, and walking back to his chamber would take forever. He stops walking and then, closes his eyes and snap one of his finger. When he opened his eyes, he's already inside his chamber. The place was a bit cold, warm, and openly stood on from above. His chamber was made of stone and bricks, overlooking the entire Helio Kingdom. It was designed by his father, so he can see everything and watches everything from his window.

My name is Asmodeus,

I command you to find me a place to stay,

A place far away from Helio and seven deadliest sin cities.

With my blood, I am giving you my authority to follow my order!

Asmodeus immediately chanted those words in front of the boiling pot inside his chamber. After his first chant, he made another one, until it falls on to the fifth one where it showed him the exact place.

My name is Asmodeus,

I command you to find me a place to stay,

A place far away from Helio and seven deadliest sin cities.

With my blood, I am giving you my authority to follow my order!

My name is Asmodeus,

I command you to find me a place to stay,

With my blood, I am giving you my authority to follow my order.

He repeatedly said those words for five times and then, his eyes were captivated by a beautiful lady in the location showed to him.

The lady he was watching was busy singing, dancing, while doing some gardening, and watering the plants. And Asmodeus, the son of the demon, could not take his eyes off her.

“She's a fine lady. I would love to stay in her place.”

Those were the words he mumbled. He was drooling. His body suddenly ignited from the inside. Asmodeus could not even live or control his desire when it comes to women. And he couldn't even remember when was the last time he slept and made love to one of the rarest, beautiful demons in Helio Kingdom.

“The place you are watching, my lord, is called Indus. It's the northern part of Arvayarta, in the land of angels.”

Asmodeus just nodded while his eyes move back and forth as he watches the lady dances, swaying her hips left and right.

“I want her. I want to go to Indus,” he responded to the boiling pot.

“But, my lord. Your horn and tail…”

“Do something to hide these horn and tails I have!” he raises his voice while he continued watching.

“Then, allow me to do something unexpected to it. Will you permit me, my lord?”

“Do it as soon as possible! I can't wait to leave my chamber and see that beautiful lady in the mortal world,” he replied without knowing that it would hurt him a little.

“I will do as you please, my lord.”

“Aaaaaaaah.”

Asmodeus shouted on top of his lung. He did not expect that his horn and tails will be cut. Blood gushes out from his head and butt, but he never let his eyes off from the lady he was watching.

“It's done, my lord. And now, for the finishing touch, I will make sure the lady won't recognize you on your new look.”
