A faint red glow which flickered behind the veil of a black smoke appeared before Tyran,only managing to cast a dim ray of light on his face.
It pulsated with an eerie raging presence he could not explain as though about to explode in front of his face but the smoke around it contained it,coiling around it in think ribbons writhing with a mindless hunger and there the glow remained, staring back at him.
Then it spoke.
"Now you do see me!...this is the form my spirit continue to exist in"
Tyran took few steps backwards away from it.
He could see no other thing in the darkness except what was infront of him.
No living thing would take pleasure in existing in such pitiful state for centuries past.Little wonder Hades needed a body but deep down Tyran rebuked every thought of his son being a vessel that crept in.
"You bore an abomination by mating with a demon cursed by the creator...such being should never have existed and despite knowing his existence is a threat to your realm you still seek to protect him... your kind appears to be enslaved by the same emotions humans feel,what do I call this,a father's love for his son or a father's greed?"
"What is he that makes him a threat and why should his existence cause me fright?"Tyran queried.
"A half demon known as the origin and very first of his kind..he is the strongest demon in existence,strong enough to destroy your realm with a flick of his finger and the only semonio born a god tier, putting him on par with a god."
"What do you mean god tier? "Tyran cut in with a puzzled stare"there is no such thing".
"There was never meant to be,that is why the cursed one should have been killed and not allowed to bear children".
Tyran knew Hades had no reason to lie to him but he didn't want to believe it.
The highest attained level of cultivation by semonios was the high ranked commander tier and he was the only one he knew of in existence to ever attain such magic level.
A grand master tier was mentioned in the records but most Semonios die before becoming a grandmaster tier because their bodies were unable to contain such amount of magic energy which would end up consuming their very existence and soul,erasing them from the surface of the realms.
"How can there be a god tier when there is no grandmaster tier?"Tyran questioned through the thick storm of thoughts ravaging his head he needed Hades to do away with.
"How ignorant!"the voice from the clouds thundered as though it had been angered,the black smoke curled tighter,the red glow pulsing and brightening slightly,casting a sickly glow across the tendrils of smoke.
"your ignorance annoys the craters out of me,know ye not there has been one by yourside all these while?"
Tyran's eyes widened at the weight of those words,as he searched his head only one person came across his mind.
"Ren!"he voiced his thoughts out only to trigger a loud laughter from hades which shook the very ground he stood on.
He had always loved Ren, always been with the same general that served the previous emperor centuries ago and had ignored the fact that he knew nothing about him and had never bothered to have such knowledge before.
Nothing was said of his origin or people who bore him,no relatives or contacts.
Tyran had considered this before but had shoved off the thought as there was no way of getting such information from someone who barely spoke to him.
"The one with scarlet hair is no semonio,he is something neither you or any one can phantom,the only demon of his kind,created from the milenias of magic energy gathered from the bodies of corpses of semonios,the essence of creation and Ill feelings of the human mind,existing as old as creation itself.Contrary to what is written in your books he is the first demon that ever existed, though without form at that time he had always existed in human minds from the very beginning.In someway,and for some reason,the corpses of semonios and stores of magic energy over many millennias built him a form in the very likeness of semonios and humans alike".
"A being that strong might be a threat_"
"A threat you say?....but he is a creature whose love for you surpasses the height of the heavens itself...the only threat to the existence of our kind is none other than your own seed".
Tyran considered this for a moment...the lord of the world would never lie to him about something like this what more his own feelings and gut.
He immediately regretted his words.
He loved Ren just like a son,had always did and not even such unforeseen information or circumstances would change that
"Originally I should not help you destroy my own realm but I will take what I can when I can...The half breed is the only being with a body compatible with me and only by possessing his body will I finally be free from this world of endless darkness and turmoil,you have no idea what it feels like to hear the cries of the dead day and night...Now for what you might gain,when he's body becomes mine,delvin might stand a chance to win the coming war"
"What war?"Tyran raised a brow.
He had heard enough and Hades's words was starting to annoy him but the more he spoke the more he piqued his curiosity, filling him with a desire to know more.
"The coming war between demons and half demons"
"Half demons?... You said he was the only one!".
"He is fated to fall in love with a human girl... originally conception should not occur between a human and a demon but he is half breed with the blood of both human s and demons coursing through his veins.They will bear a child,a second generation half breed whose seed will conspire with the humans...The half demons will open a portal to delvin for the humans to invade here with their holy things and they will wipe out the entire realm,that is the future I see"
"And how would you prevent this by taking over his body?".
"As a half breed he has the ability to become a human and full demon at will hence when he has fully mastered his abilities the holy things will have no effect on him"
Tyran grinned widely as a wave of excitement swept through him.
"For centuries,my ancestors searched for a way to breech the walls... finally our answer is here,we can destroy the humans once and for all even before they conspire with the half demons!"
Hades laughed menacingly making Tyran glare at what was in front of him,for some reason,his laughter stirred up an odd part of him,he felt himself being mocked intentionally.
"Did you really think he will help you destroy the humans?...the half breed is born with a human heart and the compassionate and side you demons lack he will find himself unable to harm any living thing".
"Then I will root out that part of him and train him for spite...I think we can change fate?"
"Fate is something one can change and at the same time not what you should tamper with...there are parts of his future I do not see nor can I foretell, perhaps that is the part that can be altered and altering that part might change everything even the fated coming war".
Tyran's face had lit up as he stared into the darkness,who knew coming here would bring him such hope.
As long as he lived he would never let Ramses meet this fated human girl...she would be the beginning of their problems and he would raise him into a ruthless being.
"You pretend to be considerate of us Hades but we both know what you want"
"I want freedom_"
"And power and destruction"Tyran shook his head." You want his body because merging with him would make you the most powerful being in existence you might think you stand a chance against the creator...you don't want just delvin,you want the heavens and the Earth as well...To rain destruction on creation itself,if you think the creator will just sit back and let that happen then you are mistaken"
Hades laughed through the dark mist as Tyran felt his presence grow heavier.
"We are alike are we not?we all want something to destroy".
"Unlike you we want nothing with the heavens neither do we desire to anger the creator..we know our place".
"You Fool!...Your very existence angers the creator and do you think he will sit back and watch you destroy humanity?as long as he lives nothing changes and unlike you cowards I don't not desire to sit back and watch him dictate my destiny and that of everything else.Getting rid of him would make creation bow to me..you are right I want creation itself"
Tyran shook his head.
"Keep deluding yourself Hades...how badly would I love to watch you fail!".
"Rather you will sit back watch me destroy him after which you will give your head"
"Gladly"Tyran grinned.He bit his lip,lowered his head and reluctantly let out both hands.
His hand dropped slightly under the weight of what rested on in it.
Tyran stared at a dark fang shaped structure with a sharp edge laced with a subtle shimmer and a faint metallic sheen.
It glistened under the faint red glow in the dark with a presence that suggested the strength and purpose of a promising blade.
"The half demon is born with an endless supply of magic essence which I will continue to feed on the moment the spell is activated and the items merged with his soul,he becomes mine and eventually will be fully mine when the sword breaks and his own power kills him...He won't escape death because the curse will definitely consume him"
Keep dreaming!Tyran wanted to say but tightened his lips to keep him from voicing out the rage he felt from Hades's words.
He felt a sting from something carving into his palm.
Tyran retracted the arm to see a green seal before staring into the dark mist,awaiting an explanation.
"This will take you to the world of the spirit guard and back home in your body,your returning back remains the key to my freedom...thus,I will let you live".
