Demon (BoyxBoy) Book 1

Seth’s POV

″Seth... I-I can’t get them out fast enough, they are crowding near the entrance. The children haven’t even-″ Estelle started. The sound of everyone screaming frantically filled my ears, the sound of children crying followed it.

I didn’t reply as I walked towards the children, feeling as my wings extended out my back. I had to take them there myself... there wasn’t enough time. They were going to be here any minute and only half of my kingdom had made it into the Wacan district.

The children sat on the ground, holding each other tightly as they cried out of fear. Their gaze instantly looked up to me, looking at my wings in amazement. I kneeled down in front of them, extending a hand.

″We have to go now, children. You’re going to be safe with me, I promise.″ I said to them in a rush. They didn’t hesitate as they stood up, crowding around in my arms. There was about four of them- one girl and three boys.

I picked them up in my arms, one of the boys wrapping his arms around me in fear. I turned my body back towards Estelle- she was looking at me with fear in her eyes.

″Keep pilling as many out as you could. I’m going to carry all the children out, once I’m done I’m going to carry you and Jules out.″ I stated. She nodded her head as I lifted myself up into the air. The children in my arms let out terrified whimpers, clenching onto my shirt as I flew through the air.

″King Seth... Who is coming?″ The girl asked me. These children were only about five or six... I can’t discuss who is coming. Though... this might be a historical moment in history. The day that Lilith comes to France to destroy... and the day Leviathan and Lucifer may come to earth once more.

″A mean woman, my darling.″ I whispered to her. She nodded her head, her blond curls bouncing on her head.

″Do we know who she is?″ One of the boys in my arms asked me. He was a darker skinned boy with curly hair, his eyes were a chocolate brown like Estelle’s. I don’t think the children learn about myth’s yet in school.

Well... she proved herself to be real.

″No, my boy. You will learn of her soon.″ I replied. They didn’t ask me any other questions as I flew through the sky- They were most likely processing my words, trying to figure out who the woman was.

We arrived at the Wacan district- I couldn’t help but frown at the sight. France has been divided into three districts- The Ikricaea empire where I live, the second district, The Wacan empire. And lastly, the Barith empire. I rule over all of the districts of course... but we separated France so we wouldn’t have an overpopulation. I haven’t visited the other districts in a long time- of course, the people were welcome to visit the Ikricaea empire, but I never really came to them.

I lowered myself down into the district- the sound of people arguing filling my ears. Everyone looked at me in amazement, mostly at my wings- I don’t use them often... but they really are an amazing thing to have. Especially at times like these...

″King Seth! What is going on?″

″We don’t mind that you’re sending your people here... but it’s kind of crowded!″

″Is this permanent?″

The people began crowding around me, throwing questions in every way possible. The children clenched onto my pants securely, obviously terrified of the approaching men and women.

″SILENCE!″

They immediately stopped at my words, bowing their heads like scolded dogs. I couldn’t get a word out because of their shouting... and they were scaring the children. I understand that they are curious... but there’s no reason to act like that.

″My people... we have a greater danger coming. I’m sorry for the sudden intrusion, but it must be done. If the Wacan district becomes overpopulated, then send some people into the Barith Empire. I must go now, there are plenty more children I must carry over...″ I said to them in a rush. They apologized to me as I lifted myself in the air, my gaze landing onto the children below.

″KICK HER BUTT KING SETH! SHOW HER WHOS BOSS!″ The little girl yelled at the top of her lungs, her pale skin turning bright red. The other little boys pumped their fists in the air, encouraged by her words.

---------------------------------------------------

I had just finished bringing all of the children who couldn’t get past the gate... which was about one hundred children. I made sure to fly as fast as I could- without scaring the children of course. Most of them had fun flying in the air with me... they said they felt like superheroes. Some of them were terrified and cried all over me... but I didn’t mind.

I brought Jules and Estelle over to the Wacan district, along with some of the adults. Jules cried like a little baby as I carried them in the air... he was worse than some of the children. I reassured him that we were going to be okay; that we were going to fight this battle just fine. Estelle asked me if we needed assistance... I told her that we were going to have werewolf armies, along with Elena’s vampire clan. Some of the mythical side of France were coming too... some other warlocks and faeries. I don’t know if we stand a chance against Lilith if I’m being honest. I don’t know how to use all of my powers myself... and my father already said he cannot defeat her himself.

All of my people have finally retreated into the Wacan district. I was afraid Lilith was going to arrive as they were evacuating, but thankfully, my people stopped arguing with each other and filled in just fine.

I lowered myself down into the Ikricaea empire. My eyes were instantly met with all of the warlocks, werewolves and other mythical creatures- some had swords and shields clenched to their chests. Some warlocks already had their magic lingering at their fingertips, gazing at the gate of my kingdom with a hint of hatred in their eyes.

A werewolf suddenly ran after me at full speed. He was a larger werewolf; he was raven black, his dark purple eyes were gazing at me with determination. I realized it was Dakota once Elena followed after him.

He stopped at my feet, gazing up at me with a huff. I imagined he was waiting for orders- Elena was too. Jayce wasn’t there to order them around... and since I’m the King now... I must.

″Dakota. I need you to tell some of your pack to go into the castle and guard Jaxon and Jayce. I also need some around the entrance of the castle. Elena, tell some of your father’s pack to guard Jaxon too.″ I demanded. Dakota instantly ran away from Elena and I, letting out a deep howl. The howl was followed by the rest of his pack- I watched as three werewolves ran into the castle, followed by ten werewolves guarding the entrance.

″Seth... do you think we are going to be okay? I-I don’t know if we could defeat a Queen of Demons, she has some ruling over us, right? She had a part in creating my race and Dakota’s, along with Jaxons-″

I placed my hands on her shoulders, cutting her sentence off. She gazed up at me with her red eyes, tears threatening to pour from them.

″Do you know who I am, Elena?″ I said sternly to her. She nodded her head, her long black locks bouncing with every moment.

″Y-Yes, the Prince of Demons-″

″What else am I.″

″The King of France.″

″What have I sworn to protect?″

″...Your people.″

I nodded my head slowly, pulling my hands off of her. She straightened her back, breathing in deeply. We were going to defeat her. No matter what it takes. I’m going to protect my people... I’m going to protect Jaxon.

″We are going to do this. We still don’t know if Leviathan and Lucifer are coming... so we may have some backup.″ I whispered to her. She let out a sigh, her red eyes rolling at my statement.

″Probably not. Lucifer already came to the surface to save you, remember?″ She whispered. She was right...

″God must know how powerful and awful Lilith is. He’s patient and generous. Have some Faith.″ I stated. She nodded her head slowly... but still didn’t look hopeful.

″I’m going to go tell my father your orders now. Good luck, Seth.″ She said before pulling me in a hug. I wrapped my arms around her waist, accepting her hug.

″I love you, Elena. I love all of you. You’re all my family and I’m going to protect you.″ I reassured her. She knew who I was talking about... I was talking about her, Jayce, Jin, Jaxon, Magdalene, Alva, and Dakota.

″I love you too, Seth. We are going to do this.″ She replied to me, flashing me a confident smile before she ran away. I watched as she ran up to her father, explaining my orders to him. He instantly nodded his head, screaming out to his clan. Her father looked very similar to her- He was rather tall, fair skinned and red eyes. His black hair was pulled back into a bun, exposing the different tattoos on his neck. He looked about 20 years old- though I knew that wasn’t the case.

My eyes instantly landed on Alva and Jin. They were standing with the other warlocks... could they fight? I knew Alva could... but Jin? I knew Magdalene was inside the castle with Jayce and Jaxon; She was told to stay inside.

I walked over to them. Their eyes instantly met mine- Jin looked worried. Maybe he wasn’t supposed to be out here either?

″Jin... I don’t think you should be out here, It’s far too risky... I know Jayce has trained with you a bit, but-″

″Please Seth... I need to help fight in this war. I need to help protect Alva and the others-″ He said, his voice cracking. Protect Alva?...

My eyes instantly met his wrist. There was a glowing mark on his wrist... along with Alva’s. It matched the mark that Jaxon and I shared... this really isn’t a good time to figure out who your soul mate is. I wonder if they were aware of what the mark meant...

″Jin, I’m going to be okay... I was trained by Lucifer and Leviathan. There are things I could do that most warlocks can’t do. I have to protect you too, Jin... the mark signifies that.″ He stated sternly. His tone of voice almost made me flustered myself... he didn’t sound like this when we first met him. He sounded like he knew he had dominance over Jin- I guess I knew who was who in the relationship...

I guess Jayce told them what the mark meant.

Before Jin could reply, I placed a hand on Alva’s shoulder, making him meet my eyes. His eyes were a bright violet- his power was already coursing through his body in anticipation.

″You take care of him. So help me god, If something happens to him-″

″Damn right I will. I got this, Seth.″ He said to me, his deep voice full of determination. Jin still had a blush on his face once I looked over at him, his eyes were the brightest I’ve ever seen them...

Suddenly, a warlock I didn’t quite know ran up to me. He had dark brown hair, his eyes a light blue. I couldn’t help but notice his earrings- they were swinging every way as he ran. He reminded me of Jayce- though he was more masculine.

″King Seth, It’s an honor to meet you. I’m Remington Channing.″ He said in a rush, extending a hand. I flashed him a smile, taking it gladly.

″Remington, It’s lovely to meet you. What could I do for you?″ I asked him. His facial expression was twisted into fear, glancing back at the gate.

″Uh, I’d love to stay and have a chat with you, sir... but long story short, Lilith is almost upon us We need to get into formation, now.″ He stated, his voice getting faster with every word. I nodded my head, glancing back towards everyone.

″EVERYONE INTO FORMATION! LILITH IS UPON US! GIVE HER EVERYTHING YOU GOT, MY FRIENDS!″ I screamed out. Everyone let out cheers, pumping their fists up in the air. Werewolves let out deep howls, gazing up towards the sky.

We got into formation. I was in the front, the assembly of warlocks behind me, vampires, werewolves, faeries, and anything in between in the mythical world. If you told me a year ago I would be fighting alongside these people... I would have thought you were crazy.

...

My eyes suddenly met Avel’s. He was looking at me with the biggest amount of anger in his eyes... there were thousands of men behind him. They looked to be the undead... How was he here? He was supposed to be dead... I thought we were only facing Lilith. There had to be at least thousands of them... their cries. It sounded familiar.

These were the undead of the Felids of Punishment. Lilith must have stolen them from Lucifer...

″MISS ME?″

He thrust his hand forward, the gate coming down with a loud crash. He melted the gate with his hands... Was that Hell’s fire?...

He thrust his hand forward once more as the undead ran in, balls of hell’s fire leaking into my kingdom. I suddenly heard a loud cry from Alva, his eyes were completely violet. He crossed his hands over his chest- two swords appearing at his hands. They were gold- it reminded me of the jewels my father had...

″CHARGE!″ Alva said with a scream, encouraging everyone to run after the undead.
