Chapter 4 Amaga

[KIEL]

"Dad,can't we just leave the humans alone?" I asked in a pathetic voice. "We killed many of them five hundred years ago and acquired their souls.Must we snatch their emerald essence of life?" I continued. "Shut up Kiel!" My father roared. "Are you questioning my decisions?" He asked glaring at me with a piercing gaze. "No Father, it's just that...". "Keep your mouth shut Ezekiel" he interrupted." We will infiltrate the human world in four days time. Are we clear?" He asked in a commanding tone. "Y-yes dad" I stuttered and hurried to my room. I'm Kiel,the one and only son of King Raven,the greatest Aphimum Demon. Unlike my ruthless father,I was a softhearted lad and I couldn't bring myself to harm another Aphimum Demon or even a human, which always irritated my father. He told me countless times that being ruthless is considered a perfect trait for a king. He always scolded me whenever I beg him not to behead some Aphimum Demons who had committed one crime or the other. Five hundred years ago,my father suddenly ordered all Aphimum Demons to infiltrate the human world and kill as many of them as we can and take their souls. I begged him but my father being my father didn't budge. I can remember that day vividly. The day I saw a human girl I couldn't forget till date.

"Kiel, hurry up" my mother said barging into my room. "Mother, can't we beg father again?" I asked looking at her teary eyed. "You know that I'm in no position to beg your father" she said in a soft voice. I went out of my room feeling dejected and went to the Demon hall. The Demon hall is the place where many Aphimum Demons gather when they want to teleport to the same place. Many Demons were gathered in the hall when I arrived. My dad came in just then and we all bowed respectfully. "As you all know, today we are going to infiltrate the human world", he began. "We are not just going to kill many of them but we are going to acquire their souls as well" he said in a menacing tone. "Jeshen!!" My father called. Jeshen was our ancient seer who had lived as long as five thousand years ago but still looked young. She was a vicious, wicked,and hot tempered Demon. Infact,she was the one who incited this mission as she told my father that we would need human souls for making the Zhekask charm which would make the Aphimum Demons more powerful and provide Amaga with more spiritual energy. She appeared immediately and bowed "King Raven". "They are set for the mission" my father said. "Hmph,are you sure your son won't do otherwise? She scoffed looking at me disdainfully. "Mind your words Jeshen! He's a royal" my father said rather offended by her words. "Well,let me make a portal then" she said without apologizing. Well,I wasn't in the least offended as killing people wasn't a thing to be proud of anyway..
