"This is utterly madness. Please do not put our son through this. He is just a child."
"It might be the best way to test his capability. I trust he'll survive sire."
"Major, unleash the Pantheris."
I could hear the chains raise the metal grill. There was nothing I could do since I was chained to the ground. I saw white eyes in the midst of the darkness behind it. The grass around me swayed uniformly towards the den. My heart pounded with the same rhythm as its footsteps. It stood in front of me and I could hear the angels calling out for me to join them. 'No wait! I'm a demon, I can't join angels? I heard anti-angels calling me. Yes... that's more like it. But wait! I'm only two years old. I don't know about angels and demons?' I heard voices calling out for me to join them. 'Yes, that's more like it.'
The three headed Leo Pantheris and I were having ourselves a stalemate.
The Pantheris overshadowed me. It towered above my little body. It raised its palm up and no, not to wave at anyone but to wave me goodbye with a single strike. As young as I was, I did not know what to do. I was in great shock. I began tearing up. I was trying to mumble the word 'mom' hoping that she would be my knight in shining armor. My streams of tears went down my chin and drop by drop they hit the ground. Slowly, the grass around me began to rot. The rotting seemed to have spread further every time another teardrop hit the ground.
The Pantheris began to back off as the black circle around me grew further. At some point it seemed agitated and it leaped forward trying to get to me, but that is when something took me away swiftly, or somebody. I could see the hand was white and with very sharp elbows; mom. Behind us I could see the Pantheris rot bit by bit as we walked up to where father was.
"Lyra! What did you do?"
"I could not let him just..."
"Sire look down there."
"The Pantheris is not moving."
"It is..."
"Dead! My son killed the Pantheris."
"But how?"
"Your son must be really powerful Lyra."
"Go home and prepare a feast for my friends and I, my love. We shall celebrate my son's victory."
When we got home my mother held me in her arms by the sliding window. Her voice was soothing as she sang(Sun goes down - Lil NasX). In my entire life I had never felt so at peace, but it didn't last long. Father came into my room, he sounded drunk.
"Give Perdivacx to me. He shall join us as we rejoice in his first kill."
"Please let him rest. He has already been through so much."
"He'll just have a drink with us before going to bed."
"You want to give my son beer?"
"He is my son too and no.I won't give him beer," grabbing me from her arms,"I'll just give him some fun juice."
When we got to the dining area, it was packed. Knights and soldiers filled the seats around the table; mugs in their hands. That's all I remember from that day. In the morning, I found the three headed skeleton in my room and I screamed and hid under my tiny blankets. Mother and father came and she tried asking him to throw it out but all he did was throw away two of the skulls and he nailed one above my bed where it is up to date.
***********************************
"Son! Please join us."
I opened a portal to go directly to the stands. On walking in, I could see their serious faces all facing me.
"You do know you could have walked up the stairs right?"
"I know but it's not as fun as walking through space and the time zone. Anyway..."
"I have a proposition for you."
"I'm listening."
"I need you to go to Actinium and spy on the royal family."
"And why should I intrude the royal family's privacy?"
"War has been declared between our two lands."
"I'm sorry father but I was not taught to attack first. You'll have to do it by yourself."
I walked backwards into a portal and went to my room. I had to wash up since I was done with training. Washing up didn't mean using water and soap, it meant soaking in a tab full of lava. When I was done, and almost fully dressed, Eridanus came into my room.
"What do you want Eridanus?"
"I am here to tell you why your father wants you to fight this war alongside him."
"Oh no... not this again. Look I really don't want to fight anyone, okay?"
"My prince, I am not here to tell you to fight. I just want you to know why it means so much to your father."
*********************************
After staying for almost an year alone on the galaxy l, Uzinouph knew he had to make some new friends and I mean ' literally make.' He cast his hands to the Lossom that gave him the power to form a new civilization. He made roads, houses, buildings, pets and even people. The n***d and barren land finally had life on its surface. Despite this achievement, he only had enough power to make one out of the two planets occupied. He also lacked the power to grow plants and make the ground fertile.
**********************************
Civilization had spread all over the planet and people began to make their lives. They had jobs just like humans on earth. Uzinouph shrank due to all the energy he used up and he lived among the demonicrees as their emperor. For a long time, he and Perseus had been best friends and he had been his advisor since he made the other demons.
Uzinouph was immortal since he was their creator and for some reason Perseus was also immortal. It was probably because he was the first demon to be created. Uzinouph thought he would rule over his land forever but his good old buddy Perseus had other plans. Slowly but surely he corrupted the army. Then one fateful night, the army was sent out, by Perseus, to purge the streets of anyone who was not for the idea of him becoming emperor. It was there after that the army went on strike and requested for the execution of Uzinouph. They poured the bodies of the people they killed during the purge, onto the streets and told Uzinouph that more was coming unless he left. Uzinouph had the power to end it then and there but he couldn't. He could not end a planet that had been his home for two millennia. He'd rather leave it all behind than destroy it. Uzinouph had hundreds of thousands of wives but only one was willing to follow him to the unknown. He took the Lossom and his permanent wife, Lyra and they fled to the deserted Lantanum.It was cold and empty just like his heart. He explored the planet and found a stream that had no source. It flowed up to a pond that he named the Lossom's Keep. He had an idea of casting his powers into the stream to spread his creation faster. His plan worked and this time he built an actual civilized planet; demons, pets, plants, buildings, roads and even a castle that stood in the middle of an active volcano. He built his own nation of demonicrees who were more loyal and he got married to Lyra as his only wife. He had used up all the energy he had acquired during that period of two millennia. Although Uzinouph found peace on his new planet, he still could not get over the fact that he got overthrown by his best friend.
