The Return of Order

My return to the Demon King Academy in its reality meant a day full of responsibilities and tasks, as was customary for the ruler and leader of the "Shadow Garden".

The day began abruptly as my personal assistant rushed into my royal demon room, the decor of which was one of control and authority. I was jolted from my sleep and opened my eyes to greet the day. I then dressed in an elaborate and regal outfit, each piece carefully chosen to emphasize my royal status. My dress was a work of art made of black leather, decorated with ornate silver details that accentuated my stunning beauty.

With my ensemble complete, I headed to my bathroom where a refreshing cold shower invigorated my senses. Refreshed, I stepped out of the bathroom and quickly changed into my usual attire, each item carefully chosen to emphasize strength and elegance.

"What requires my immediate attention? Do I need to take care of it immediately?" I turned to my personal assistant.

"My lady, you are urgently summoned to the throne room," she replied.

"Very good. I'll be on my way immediately," I replied.

As I prepared in my room, my loyal subordinates, members of the "Shadow Garden" (Lilim, Eta, Beta, Epsilon, Gamma, and Ravenna), greeted me warmly. Their camaraderie was palpable, respect for their fearsome leader evident in their interactions.

"This mission must be of exceptional importance if the Queen herself chooses Alpha's escort," Lilim whispered to Eta.

"Yes, that's unusual. She usually leaves such tasks to us," Eta nodded.

"I wonder who these 'specialized escorts' will be," Beta joined the conversation.

"Whoever they are, they shouldn't hinder my progress," Gamma grinned.

Then I made my way to the throne room, a place of dark magic and imposing demonic guards. Our arrival was greeted with salutes from the watchful guards along the magnificent aisle. The castle itself was a manifestation of power and dominance, a testament to our territory.

In the throne room I was greeted by my mother and creator, the Demon Queen Apollo Knight. Apollo Knight exuded authority and grace, emphasizing the importance of my training at the Demon Academy. She insisted on the highest standards and never allowed my royal name to be tarnished. She also explained that I would not attend the academy without a proper escort.

"Your vigilance honors our empire," I said as I accepted the salute from my guards.

"Aplha, my daughter and leader of the 'Shadow Garden', have you rested well?" my mother asked.

"Indeed, Mother. Your presence is an honor. I am ready to begin my mission at the Academy of Demons," I replied, bowing respectfully.

"Remember, Alpha, your actions reflect not only on yourself, but on our entire empire. Strive for excellence and never tarnish our royal name," my mother admonished me.

"I understand, mother. I will make you proud," I promised.

"Good. But you will not travel alone. An escort is necessary," my mother announced.

"I would prefer my 'Shadow Garden' sisters, Mother. They are my most trusted allies," I mused.

"No, Alpha. A specialized escort will accompany you, personally selected by me," my mother said firmly.

"Very good, mother. I trust your judgment. Who will accompany me on this mission?" I asked, bowing respectfully to my mother.

"The Demonic Archangels will be your companions. They will ensure your safety," my mother announced as she sat on her obsidian throne and initiated the activation spell for the portal.

After leaving the throne room, we went to my private chambers. These spaces were a reflection of our power and status. The room was spacious, adorned with solemn royal decorations and dominated by a large obsidian bed. Tall, elegant windows let in dim light, and the atmosphere was both regal and mysterious.

"It looks like I'll be returning to the academy sooner than expected," I said as I prepared my school uniform.

"We will ensure your safety during your time there, Alpha," Lilith assured.

"Your school uniform is very different from your royal outfit," Azura remarked as she inspected my clothing.

At the Academy of Demons, discipline and uniformity are valued," Gamma explained as she adjusted her armor.

"This place bears the marks of your rule, Alpha. It is impressive," Asteriana remarked as she surveyed the room.

I put on my school uniform - a stylish black silk and obsidian demon blazer, paired with matching demon pants and knee-high cat boots. I reached for my bag filled with artifacts, the Book of Vishanti, a dagger, and my sword, and pocketed it carefully. Every item had a purpose and meaning.

When I was ready, we left our chambers and traversed the majestic, demonic decorated corridors of the castle. On the way we met my sisters and fellow members of the "Shadow Garden" (Lilim, Eta, Beta, Epsilon, Gamma and Ravenna).

"You're bringing an interesting company with you today, Alpha," Lilim said with a mocking grin.

"The Orders of the Demon Queen. These Demonic Archangels will accompany me to the Academy," I explained.

"They seem impressive," Ravenna remarked as she inspected the archangels.

"Be careful, Alpha. We will hold the fort here," Epsilon warned.

"And don't let these new protectors stop you," Beta added.

"Come back with exciting stories!" called Eta.

"We'll keep order here. You can trust us, Alpha," Gamma assured.

I smiled at my friends and sisters, exchanged warm hugs, and then made my way to the exit of the castle.

As we stepped outside, the outside of the castle was breathtaking. The cosmic overspace stretched beyond, and I spread my wings with my four Demonic Archangels. It was a royal performance and we rose into the void above the castle. The demonic guards below saluted or kneeled respectfully to watch the spectacle.

Me and my protectors made our way to the Demon Academy, ready to return. We crossed excess space, crossed realities until we reached our destination.

As we reached the finish line, we floated down with majestic grace. As we approached the Demon Academy, we could see the other students in their activities. Some noticed my arrival, and their reactions ranged from awe to curiosity.

"We have arrived. Time for school," I said to my protectors.

As we approached the entrance to the academy, I couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement. I was ready to return, reunite with my friends, and experience new adventures in the hallowed halls of the Academy.

As Alpha and her four Demonic Archangels walked through the labyrinthine corridors of the Demon King Academy, anticipation filled the air. Their majestic appearance caught the attention of students and teachers alike, and they moved with regal dignity.
