Realms

Beads of sweat were seen on his forehead. His steps were slow, precise but shaky. What he was about to see was something that could crack anyone. He was wearing a black long coat that went down to his feet. He had rings on his fingers. This very scared man was a man with reputation, a man with legacy. A man that caused fear with the mention of just his name but here he was scared to his bones. His steps slowed as he approached what looked like a throne. Everything surrounding the throne was so dark. So dark that he felt like going closer to it would stain his delicate skin. It was a darkness so thick you could touch it, so dense, you could breathe it. The air around him was growing cold not that he was in any way affected by the cold- he was the devil anyway; but the person he was meeting on this occasion sent shivers down his spine. As he got closer, he could see something. It was the only thing that stood out in that darkness. That darkness that rendered his special eyesight useless. He saw golden strands of hair. He could tell that the person who was sitting on the throne had his head bent so that he was facing the floor. So, it seemed like he was fast asleep. He turned around with one thought in his mind."I wouldn't want to wake him up so I'll just come back next time". But as he took his first step, he heard a calm voice. But that voice invoked anything but calm or soothing it was a voice that had killed millions of Demons many of them belonging to his army. "Walking away from my throne incurs punishment. You of all people should know that... Dad! That last word re-echoed in his head. The sarcasm was plainly shown and felt. He was at least grateful that it wasn't in front of his subjects. He knew that he was nowhere near his son in terms of strength. But forget all that, he knew what he did was wrong, and even though the devil loved doing wrong, this wrong he had committed was making him regret his number one strength - lying. Not just lying but lying to himself. Over the years,he would commit a grave offense up in the bigger realm and even though he knew it was wrong, he would still lie and convince himself that what he did wasn't wrong. This in effect, had killed his conscience enabling him to to do wrong freely and this person was the result of one of his wrong doing. But like every other sin, it wasn't wrong.
Facing the person who had called him Dad was even harder than challenging God. He turned around and his silver coloured eyes locked with golden pair of eyes staring at him from that dark throne. "I thought you were asleep and I didn't want to wake you up. So, I decided that I would come back later". The words were really heavy. Telling a lie had never been this hard for him. "What are the odds dad?" "Even God himself rested on the seventh day so....." "Well I'm not God I'm something worse. Left with me, you would've been dead a long time ago. Or would you like a reminder?" He was quiet. He wouldn't answer that kind of question."Why did you send for me?" He asked changing the topic. His son was no longer smiling and now he wore a serious look not that it could be seen the darkness covered everything but his eyes and hair. "Well, I wanted to know if you have made preparations for my departure." " That will not be possible. No one is leaving this realm to Earth's realm." He was more confident with each word that he spoke. This was his son's way of doing things. He would make you feel confident and all of a sudden, he would take it all away. The devil was aware of this but he was just oblivious at the moment and as he said those words, all the courage he had gathered had left him and now, not only was he feeling fear, he was also feeling frustration. Now the fear he had first felt was back and it had also doubled. Now it was his son's turn to speak." It seems like some people have forgotten their place. Now would you like getting me annoyed?" " No" the words had come out like a whisper . " Now what did you say? " He was sure that he heard him clearly. Even Demons could hear the heartbeat of humans from their realm so a whisper was more than enough. "No" This time his voice was loud enough."A little louder I still can't hear you." "No!" "Lower your voice man." Now he was making jest of him. "I'll be leaving today. Infact, I'll be leaving now so I suggest we get going?" "Of course" he replied leading the way.

When they got into the room, Dramean realized why only Demon Lords had their own portal rooms to themselves. If they had put it on display as a free for all, it might as well be described as displaying freedom. Different mirror like frames where there showing millions of realms. The floor beneath their feet could even transport him to another realm. Looking straight ahead, he could see the only one that had been turned on and was glowing; a bright blue color. " This is supposedly the only place I can fit in right?" He nodded in affirm. Dramean smiled and was walking towards it when he heard his father's voice say "Listen Dramean, do not do anything stupid or else the supreme being will send legions after you and I won't mind coming alo..." He wasn't able to finish his sentence as immediately he said those words, an unknown force had swept him off his feet and he was sent flying out of the room. Just when he thought he had gotten away, a portal had formed behind him transporting him back to the room he came out from. But it was still far from over as he felt that same force pull him towards Dramean who had his right hand stretched out by now. Bracing himself, he was ready for an almighty punch but instead, he felt a strong hold on his neck. " I would love it if came to fetch me.... dad. After all, I'll just get an excuse for killing you and trust me no one will be able to save you from me. Do I make myself clear?" " Yes" veins were already showing on Lucifer's forehead and his feet was dangling on air. "Yes what?" "Yes Lord Dramean." "Now this should serve as a remainder for you so you would always continue in the fear of me." By now he had already opened another portal and had flung Lucifer into it. He turned and looked at the portal that was glowing in front of him." Earth realm, here I come " with that, he walked into the portal.
