A new saga begins

"So you would show yourself in front of a father like this?"

"How many times do I have to tell you that I do not have another choice brother?"

"I can't imagine how angry he will be"

The salamander seems irritable, but the demon didn't respect his feelings whatsoever and kept on insulting him for a few minutes. It was tricky Afterall to respect something the size of a lizard. After he had gotten bored from constantly insulting the salamander, he decided to take them to his father.

With a snap of his fingers, a portal opened behind him. The outer rims of the portal red and the middle of it depicted the other end of the portal. There he saw the same scenery he had seen in the test, everything had a red tint applied to it.

The demon was wearing a sly smile.

"Well, I can't wait to see father be disappointed in you"

He walked over to Alexander, picked him up by the shoulder and threw him into the portal. Then he followed in behind him, the salamander followed behind him.

Alexander looked around and saw that there was a sea in front of him. The sea was large, lava, and active. Actually, they found themselves at the edge of a cliff but a popular one at that. In Front of him was a bridge leading over to a caste resting on a rock.

Apart from other castles, this one didn't have any walls. There were multiple houses inside of the castle but no walls and Alexander could see that the castle was active. Even at the bridge, there was a fair share of people.

What Alexander saw on the bridge was multiple demons. They had a humanoid shape but there was something off about them. Their hands were either lacking fingers, their head was too large or too small. Furthermore, they were red and naked. Strangely, each and every single one of them didn't have a speck of hair on them.

The demon made Alexander float using his magic, he did a similar thing to the salamander but the salamander seemed displeased by it. He started walking over the bride, Alexander tried to scream but quickly realised that he couldn't.

He thought out to the salamander inside of his mind, asking him questions and pleading with him. He didn't get an answer like usual after his panic had proven useless he returned to looking around him

Alexander swore that when the demons looked at him with disgusted eyes, but once they saw who was walking beside Alexander their eyes turned to fright. Namely, the demon seemed to be a well-known figure around this city.

Alexander also realised that he wasn't the only human in here. When he saw the other human he was distraught but the human was unlike any he had ever seen before. It was a male, and he was large. The human had been put on a leash and forced down on all fours like a dog.

Leading the human was a small little demon. What shocked Alexander, even more, was that even though the human was on all four, he was easily over two meters tall whilst still being on all four. The human had many scars all over his body, mind you the human was naked similarly to the demons. His limbs had been replaced, for example, his arms were metal swords.

Alexander saw more small disturbing details on the human.

At the entrance of the palace located in the middle of the cliff, the demon walked in nonchalantly. There was no guard to be seen, there wasn't anyone to be seen for that matter. The palace felt empty.

Nonetheless, the demon walked through the place like it was his home. Soon they were standing in front of the king's chamber, once again the demon walked in nonchalantly. There he found three demons, each one a male. They spoke in a grave tone as they were negotiating something important.

After the demon had taken a few steps towards them, they realised that they were no longer alone in the room. The demon with the crown looked towards the three who were coming closer and then told the demons he was speaking with to exit the room.

"Hello father", the demon said

The king didn't respond. Instead, his eyebrows tightened showing a displeased face.

"Alburazath is this some sort of sick joke"

"No pop"

His entire body was lit on by green fire, the fire reached the rough. It was quickly suppressed.

"You always were the disappointment"

"..:"

He took a heavy breath and continued.

"Why have you come here"

"I was hoping you could help me escape this predicament"

"Are you completely inept. I cannot walk over the gods, the consequences would be too grave and I do not have the power. It is also your fault, why should I help you fix your own faults"

"That being said, a son of mine being a mere human spirit, is an attack at my own honour"

Before Alexander could blink, he found that the king stood before him.

"Child, anything you want. Anything. Name it and you shall have it. All I ask is that you free my son. If you want a powerful magical spirit, I can provide you with one of my guards."

Alexander felt that the chains surrounding his mouth had been removed. Being promised the world on his fingers was an incredibly attracting offer, but there was one vital issue.

"How do I know you won't kill me the second the salamander leaves my body. "

"Why shouldn't I kill you now"

"If you wanted too, you would already have done it."

"Pop, I already tried and it didn't work. The child is not completely inept", the demon intoned.

"Very well, if you insist on it then there is nothing I can do. But you must be worthy to hold my son" The king continued.

"I will send you child, to one of the seven magic schools and at that school, you shall become worthy"

"What?"

"You will study in one of our magical schools if my child will be enslaved. He must be enslaved by someone worthy, anything less and my honour will be insulted."

"Any last words"

Alexander was silent.

"Then your torture full existence begins now"

With another snap of his fingers, Alexander found his reality twisted. Soon he was in front of a large structure similar to one he had already seen. It was the magical school, strangely there was another demon standing in front of him. This one had a white beard.
