Infernus : The Devil Has Risen

It has been five years since that internal war happened, between the Rulers, Knights and Lords. It happened because of the mere human, who is named Morana. The cursed woman left a scar to anyone who knows her, it may be pain or hatred. She left a conflict on our kinds, the demons. She has been dead for five years but her memory is still haunting us, especially Cessair and Cozbi, who was both left with a broken heart after her death. Dahil sa nangyari, walang magawa ang ibang Ruler kung hindi ay manghimasok sa pagitan ng nabubuhay at namayapa. Mas lumalala ang sitwasyon kaya kinakailangan nilang gumawa ng solusyon. Panibagong problema ang kanilang aayusin dahil sa pagkamatay ni Morana. Hindi nila akalaing ganito ang magiging epekto, nadamay pa ang karamihan sa may matataas na tungkulin. This isn't a fight between a cursed one and evils spirits. This is already a battle between a gold blooded demon and a royalty who has a special blood that is made of silver. The one who was destined to change the future and the one who was fated to ruin what is built for centuries. "Ano ang gagawin natin ngayong wala na si Thadeous, ang ika-pitong Ruler? Sino ang papalit sa kanyang pwesto? Walang sino sa atin ang may katulad ng kanyang kakayahan," ani ng nagsisilbing pinuno ng mga Ruler. Narito sila sa isang tagong silid at nagpupulong. May nakita silang suliranin makalipas nang limang taon na pananahimik. Sa pagkakataong ito'y kailangan na nilang pumagitna. "Someone stole Thadeous' power and only that person is capable of doing his tasks and has the right to claim his position, unless you want to do something to bring back his soul. We all know that it ain't impossible to happen." Nagkatinginan si Devon at Athanasios. Batid nilang dalawa ang kapalit kapag binuhay muli si Thadeous. "Yes, it ain't impossible...but, do you know the consequences?" Athanasios butted in. The fifth ruler showed her playful smirk. She flicked her hair as she flirtatiously winked at Athanasios, the latter acted like he's about to p**e. "Rude," she whispered as she straightened her back while rolling her eyes. The second Ruler tapped the table twice, gaining everyone's attention. "Hindi kayo naparito upang magharutan sa aming harapan. Isa sa ating batas ang nagbabawal na magkaroon ng karelasyon sa kauri." Nagseryoso ang lahat dahil sa tinuran ng ikalawang Ruler. Kung kay Athanasios ay nagagawa nilang makipagbiruan, sa ikalawang Ruler ay hindi. Seryoso ang babae at hindi mo magagawang pangitiin o mapasaya man lang. The second Ruler is ruthless and does not care at all, whether you are a Divinity or a Ruler. To her, everyone is just the same. A toy to play with. She loves playing with death so she is entitled as the Gatekeeper of Hell. "Wala sa plano ko ang buhayin muli si Thadeous, ang kanyang kaluluwa ay hindi dumaan sa akin. Kaya alam kong narito pa siya sa mundo ng mga mortal." Lumingon siya sa ika-anim na Ruler dahilan para mapatikhim ang huli at umayos ng upo. Ang ika-anim na Ruler ay ang pinakabata sa amin ngunit kamangha-mangha ang taglay na kapangyarihan. She's the Judge of the living and the dead. "Batid kong hindi mo pa nahahatulan ang kaluluwa ni Thadeous, ano ang rason?" Kunwa'y nag-iisip na tumingala siya habang hawak ang kanyang baba. She then giggled and stared at the second Ruler's face. "He still have an important task to do. He is not totally dead. Subali’t hanggang sa ngayon ay hindi ko pa siya nakikita.” Naging malikot ang mata ng huli ngunit walang nakapansin. "Now that we don't have any problem about the seventh Ruler. We should talk about her." Alam na agad nilang lahat kung sino ang kanyang tinutukoy. Palihim na ikinuyom ni Devon ang kanyang palad at pinigil ang sariling magsalita. The door suddenly slammed open and the guest that they did not expected has arrived. Ang lahat ng nasa silid ay tumayo at yumuko upang magbigay galang sa dumating, maliban sa ikalawang Ruler na nanatiling nakaupo at pinaglalaruan ang daliri. Malalim ang kanyang iniisip at hindi mabasa ang emosyon sa kanyang mata. "You may now take a sit," makapangyarihan niyang utos. The one who entered is the second Divinity and behind her is the third Divinity. They are wearing a golden mask and a veil that would conceal their faces, their identity should be kept confidential and no one should see it or they will face death. Ang tanging bagay na makakapagsabing sila nga nag Divinity ay dahil sa kanilang kasuotan. Aside from wearing golden masks, the Divinity’s are using gloves that are made from the venomous snake's skin, the clothes they are wearing are made of silk and they are wearing a coat made from wolf’s fur. "Naparito ako upang magbigay ng bagong kautusan sa inyong lahat," panimula ng ikalawang Divinity at isinalaysay ang kanyang mga nais na mangyari. Walang sinuman ang nagtangkang tumutol o isatinig ang mga bagay na nasa kanilang isipan, dahil para sa kanila, kamatayan ang magiging kahihinatnan sa oras na sila'y sumalungat. The two Divinity left after telling what they want to happen and their plans, for now, everyone have to do is wait for a perfect timing until they can finally make a move. Devon and the second Ruler was left alone in the throne room after the meeting is adjourned. No one dared to speak and they are just sensing each other, waiting for someone to break the silence. "I know you have something on your mind, spill it because I have many tasks that are needed to be done." Tinaas ni Devon ang kamay at nagpalabas ng kaunting kapangyarihan upang balutin ang buong lugar, nang sa gayon ay walang makarinig ng kanilang pag-uusapan. "Nais ko lamang magpasalamat sa ginawa mong pagtulong sa akin upang mabawi ko ang aking katawan kay Jabez." Morrigan nod twice as she started tapping the table several times. She raised her left brow and her lips twitched, "I know you still have something to say, don't beat around the bush and cut the chase. What is it?" Her cold voice can make anyone tremble in fear. Devon put his hands under the table and clasped it together as he twiddled his fingers to hide his nervousness. He has only one chance or he will regret it for the rest of his life. "I want you to help me find my son and my wife," Devon said without hesitation. Morrigan was taken aback and didn't know what to say. She remained silent but she’s thinking analytically. She doesn't want to get involved but she did not want to disappoint her brother. Yes, they are siblings and no one knows about it, only the two of them and the Divinity. "Alam mong hindi ako dapat manghimasok sa buhay ng ibang nilalang." "Make me an exception, we are talking about your nephew." Huminga siya ng malalim at umiwas ng tingin, hindi niya kayang tanggihan ang kanyang kapatid ngunit nasa batas na hindi siya dapat makisawsaw sa mga nangyayari, lalo na kung wala itong koneksyon sa kamatayan. "Morrigan," Devon called her name. She sighed and did not say anything. She removed the conceal in just a snap and left Devon alone. Walang nagawa ang huli kung hindi ang manatili sa kinauupuan at maghanap ng panibagong paraan para tuluyan na niyang mahanap ang nawawalang anak at asawa. Alam naman niyang imposibleng tumulong ang nakakatandang kapatid ngunit ang importante ay sumubok siya. On the other hand, Cessair was still looking for Morana's remains. He was searching everywhere but he cannot find her. Kahit may taglay siyang kapangyarihan ay hindi pa rin sapat upang maibalik ang buhay ng babaeng pinakamamahal. His wings have grown and they're now covered in gold. As his horns have grown and tangled, with sharp edges just like a deadly sword. After Morana’s death, he never saw Cozbi again. The demon had vanished and there’s no traces left, but Cessair knew that the man was hiding, far away, healing the pain that the woman they both loved had inflicted. The disease that nobody could ever cure, the disease that is called Love. They are both suffering from it and they can’t move forward, knowing that Morana died just to save the both of them. Hindi na rin nagpakitang muli ang ama ni Cessair matapos ang insidente, subali’t ramdam niya ang presensya nito sa tuwing siya’y nag-iisang naglalakad sa kailaliman ng gabi. In the other realm, Cozbi was fighting his urge to kill someone. He has been controlling himself to hurt or make someone suffer, he was having a bloodlust but if he is blacking out, he would remember Morana’s face, making him calm and collected. Sa loob ng limang taon ay nagtatago siya upang kontrolin ang biglang paglakas ng kanyang kapangyarihan. Wala na si Sphynx, he lost his knight and he had no one to lean on. Simula noon ay si Sphynx na ang lagi niyang kasama. Hindi man lang nagawa ni Sphynx ang mga bagay na pinangarap niya bago siya bawian ng buhay. Hindi nais ni Cozbi na maghiganti sapagkat hindi niya gugustuhing mas lalong maging magulo ang mundong kinabibilangan niya. Hindi lingin sa kaalaman niya ang problemang kinakaharap ng kanilang mga kauri, ngunit hindi niya gustong mangialam. Ang mga masasamang espiritong nahuli ni Sphynx ay muling nakalaya sa tulong ni Jabez, sila ngayon ay muling naghahasik ng lagim at walang makakapigil sa kanila. Not unless she do it herself, but she is gone. Cozbi was staring at the blazing fire he just made, it's burning his whole house but he didn't even flinched nor get afraid. A sudden memory flashed in his mind, making him scream in torment. It lasted for a minute until he lost consciousness and fell on the ground. He is now inside of his dream, where everything is not real but in this place, he is happy and contented because this is where he can be with her, with the woman he love. "You should go back," Morana said and caressed his face but he remain silent. He was just staring at her face the whole time until she slowly vanished into the thin air. “Save me,” she whispered softly, just enough for me to hear, it was a word full of agony making his heart wrenched in pain. While they are all busy thinking about Morana, they had no idea that the chaos is already starting. Another soul has been reincarnated that will wake their hidden desires, desire to kill, to rule the world and play with fire without getting burn. The demon has risen to bring tragedy and ruin people’s life.
