Hornless

WHAT IS IT? 

Kael's voice boomed as he slammed open the towering double doors and strode into the throne room.

The chamber was a grand and enormous cavernous hall carved from black obsidian with walls that gleamed like liquid shadow under flickers of red torchlight. Dark veins of molten lava glowed faintly weaving through the stone like arteries of fire. The throne stood at the far end of a structure of blackened steel and bone with its back rising like wings and framing the King of Demons as a silhouette of authority.

Inside, ten demons stood in disciplined formation five on his left and five on his right, each bowing deeply as Kael's heavy steps echoed across the floor. His presence alone seemed to make the air heavier.
