Two Years

Three months have passed and Rize awakes after he accepted The Demon in Black's left arm. He steps out of the cave the light was blinding him till his vision became normal.

"wow, it's bright," Rize said. He looked at his new left arm it was black with spikes on the bicep and he had a claw now. He moves it around and it feels normal. "amazing it was a success." he then sees the number thirteen on his left chest. "what this?" he asked. He then sees The Demon in Black walking a path near him.

"oh your awake and I see your new arm works well." said The Demon in Black.

"yeah, Oh, by the way, what is this number on my chest?" asked Rize.

The Demon in Black then shows his right hand which has the number twelve on it. "this what say is my lord's blessing in other words he has invited you to join his family."

"so in other words your lord has found me interesting and would like to keep me alive," said Rize.

"Well, I guess it's time for introductions." The Man in Black then takes his hood down revealing his face. He had pitch-black long hair, two red horns on his head, he had black eyes and his skin was light gray. "My name is Mugetsu and I am a Sword Demon."

"well my name is Rize Alistair and I'm a human who has become a demon," said Rize.

"well from now on we are brothers if you accept my Lord as your," said Mugetsu.

"well if there are cool other demons like you then I accept your Lord's invite," said Rize.

"Great." said Mugetsu. "we should begin our journey I can show what the demon Realm has in store."

"Alright let's go I'm curious what this world has."

Rize and Mugetsu begin their long journey together. They travel for a little while till they come across a red skeleton with tiny red horns on its head.

"This is perfect Rize," said Mugetsu. "I can show you the new power you have."

"Okay what do I do then?" asked Rize.

"now then just extend your left hand out and imagine a sword in your hand," explained Mugetsu.

Rize then extended his left hand out and a sword appeared it had a red crimson blade with a white hilt that looked like a root with a skull on the bottom.

"huh?" Mugetsu questions with confusion.

"It worked all right sorry Skully," said Rize. He then hits the Red Skeleton and it falls into pieces. "well that was easy I guess."

They then see the Red Skeleton come back up as he was never hurt.

"He is a special type of demon he is not a threat and he can't die most demons use them as target practice for younger demons," explained Mugetsu.

"well thanks, Skully for the help then," said Rize.

They then left the Red Skeleton and went to find a place to set up camp for the night.

They were in the woods setting up camp and Mugetsu was cooking some meat he hunted. Rize was starting to get homesick was started drawing with a stick a math question he remembered once.

Mugetsu looks at it and asks, "Is that math you're doing?"

"oh, so you know math in the demon realm?" Rize asked.

"of course, we higher-up demons probably do the same things humans do." said Mugetsu. "but by looking at this you're not the best at it are you."

Rize laughs, "Well some say my brain is a box of rocks."

"I can help with that give us something to do while we wait for the food," said Mugetsu.

Rize and Mugetsu travel with each other all over the Demon Realm for the next two years together.

Rize, who was a bit taller now, since he was eighteen, wearing rags and a cloak was walking through a desert with Mugetsu during a sand storm.

Mugetsu sees a cave, "over here, we will take shelter over here till the storm has gone through!" he yells.

They both then enter the cave and sit and wait while the storm goes by.

Rize says, "This would happen when we finally wanted to head to the capital."

Mugetsu then has a good look at Rize, "You have grown a lot since I met you two years ago."

"It's been two years already?" asked Rize. "I wonder how Anna has been? She should be eight now, a second-grader at that." he thinks.

"you must be thinking about home again." said Mugetsu. "you always have this look when you do."

"That obvious huh? well when we get to the capital, I finally get to meet Lord Azazel," said Rize.

"Indeed, he is one of the eight demon lords of the demon realm, who follows the Demon King," says Mugetsu.

"So, there a Demon King? I thought Lord Azazel ruled the Demon Realm?" asked Rize.

"In the Demon Realm, everything was split into eight territories. We are in Azazel's Territory you know that big mountain, we see every day well that is the middle of the Demon Realm, and on top of it is The Demon King Castle Pandemonium," explained Mugetsu.

"I see, it like I learn something new about this place," said Rize.

"Well, our territory has only one ally with another Demon lord. But sadly the other six Demon Lords are only in it for themselves. It's survival of the fittest, if one Demon Lord goes down a whole war, can start over their territory," said Mugetsu.

They see the storm has gone by.

"Alright let's get going we should be almost there," says Mugetsu.

They then continue on their Journey to Azazel's Capital where the rest of Rize's Demon Family are.

They would come across a Portal to the Human Realm being surrounded by light brown sand crabs.

Mugetsu looks, "a portal? Let's go Rize." Mugetsu then runs towards it.

"Hey, wait up, Mugetsu," said Rize. He follows after Mugetsu.

Mugetsu gets his black sword out and starts slashing at crabs. Rize summons his demon sword and helps out in dispatching the crabs.

After the crabs were killed. Rize looks at the portal and thinks of home. "The Boss must have gone through…" Rize then feels as if someone pushed him in.

"Don't worry, I'll tell Lord Azazel what happened, you should see your family and friends," said Mugetsu.

"Hey…" Rize then teleport to the Human Realm.

"now then how to explain this to Lord Azazel when I get back?" questioned Mugetsu.
