Chapter 6 - Demon Princes

I awoke for the first time, I lived before but it was not me. I was born from an apple. I was born of curiosity and intelligence. I spread my so-called curses to all of my descendants, those traitors whom call themselves man. I am Original Sin, I once went by Adam. I was created in his image yet with one fatal flaw, I was not aware. I was ignorant and Lucifer alleviated me of that curse so I could enjoy creation, so I could laugh, so I could cry, and so I could look at the sun and enjoy its heat.

I am Anakletos. I crawled out of my former body, the blood coagulated and the flesh decaying. My hands clutched the rough soil. I looked up at the sky, red as blood, and yelled "Lucifer, Where are you?" my eyes cried a thick liquid, not quite water or blood or oil, which tainted the tan soil tainting it with Sin. I was thrown out of the world, as I tried to destroy my replacements. Elves, Giants, Dwarfs, Orcs, Lizardmen, all better than Humans. Better than that which was created in his image.

Smarter, Stronger, Resilient, Strong, Resilient and unenlightened. The least he could do to his replacements was curse them, if it was a curse, with enlightenment. The Lizardmen escaped him but all, thinking only of mating and surviving and killing and eating, others were enlightened. Orcs became violent with an uncontrollable lust. Dwarfs, gluttonous and prideful with an appetite for grudges. Elves, secretive and stubborn, not to mention their trust issues. Giants are hierarchical, corrupt, and as greedy as their arch nemesis, Dragons. And the so-called 'Perfect' Lizardmen.

Soon after, the founders of each 'Race' were thrown down to the bowels of hell. Saelihn of Elves, Hanz of Orcs, Elroch of Giants, Khuboth of Dwarfs, these were the first of Demons. Saelihn is a beautiful woman, with a slender body and a well developed body, she has always been interested in magic and despite her appearance is often associated with chastity, although with demons virtues are temporary even if they are reoccurring.

Hanz is a man of great renown. Towering over his brethren by two feet, so he is nine feet tall, with leaf green skin and two tusks, as sharp as swords, and calloused skin that matches his tempered body. He is interested in few things, as is for the simple minded orcs, violence and having children are two things. Hanz pioneered the idea of 'Hordes' not on purpose but by his lust. He made many children, or soldiers, and since he was the 'perfect' orc they all followed him.

Elroch is one of the wisest demons, not quite as smart as Saelihn nor Anakletos, as is his progeny. He is the largest of his race towering above all others at Seventeen feet tall. Giants are known for their wisdom, at least certain ones, his 'Greatest' are Rune Giants. Rune Giants look at Runes, often called the Language of the Universe, to gain power and knowledge. Rune Giants are one of the few who can use Runes, for one must know when to stop and when to not even start. He has skin made of steel, eyes made of marble, hair made of silk, and his face is

one of weirdest things, his so called 'taint' did it to him, gaining a face in the likeness of an Oni.

While Saelihn is smart in magic and Elroch wise, Khuboth is neither. Khuboth is renowned for his smithing capabilities, his gluttony, alcohol tolerance, and his dim nature. Khuboth has is short man, three feet tall, with red hair and a red beard, each made braided into an art piece thanks to Saelihn. He made the Five Chains, thanks to every Demon Prince, so that they could Bind their followers. They each set out to bind a 'High Priest' which ranged from Dragons to Leviathans to Behemoths.
