Chapter 2 - Chapter 02 : Scarlet King

" Please spare us we just want to live we haven't done anything"

It was a dark giant room. A mother and her three kids were standing infront of Nyarlathotep, who weared an white robe with a hood and long wide pants in the same color. His hands were completly black till to his shoulders, with golden vein like markings traveling up his arm. His eyes looked dangerous his irises were golden with a vertical slit, but instead of the usual white sclera it was black. He sat on his throne placed his chin on his fist with a gold shining ring and looked down on them.

" Spare? then what do you willing to pay for that?"

The woman looked at him and thought for a minute.

" I- Is my soul enough.... to let my children go?"

" Your soul? what does this bring me?"

The woman looked up not knowing what he want.

" Then what can i pay?"

He looked around as he looked at the scared kids which were looking at him.

" I dont know i have everything i want"

He said and looked up in the sky.

" I will make a contract...."

Nyarlathotep smiled bright.

" A contract? you know what a contract with me means right~"

The woman bit her lips till they began to bleed while a tear fell down her face.

" Yes...."

" Good. then let us begin~"

Nyarlathotep appeared before her and streched his hand out which the woman grabbed. His irises and the red straight lines began to shine red

" I Nyarlathotep promise with this contract to protect you and your children"

the woman then looked back at her children and smiled before turning back to Nyarlathotep

"I Lilith daughter of Hammurapi will be the traitor of babylon and exchange the soul's of Babylon for my own greed"

Nyarlathoteps eyes began to shine and a bright smile formed across his face as two transparent chains came out of their arms and wrapped together

" With this you doomed your people and destroyed babylon for your own greed, how do you feel"

lilith began to look down she felt something inside her heart break but then one of her sons came to her and hugged her

"M- Mom love you"

lilith hugged her son while tears fell down her face

" Finally with this i can destroy the annoying gods of mesopotamia"

" Your highness shall i mobilize the army?"

A man dressed completly in black and a white haori with flame like ridges at the end walked in and bowed down before Nyarlathotep

" Yes"

" As your wish my majesty"

The men immediatly vanished only leaving flames behind. Nyarlathotep walked back towards his throne and sat down

" So Lilith where do you want to live? maybe in another continent or even in an another dimesion? "

" i want to live in the savest place in existence"

" i see then do you want to stay here?"

She looked shookd at him

" H- Here?! am i allowed to stay?"

" Yes after all you are a former demon which means you can live here"

" How do you- forget it i accept that offer"

She and her children left the throne room

" Soooo~ there will be war"

Present

Nyarlathotep opened his eyes and raised his arm to cover the sun

" This dream again?"

Nyarlathotep moved his left hand feeling something soft and round

" Hm?"

He raised his upper body and saw something under the blanked. He raised the blanked and saw a white haired beauty sleeping next to him while his hand was laying on her chest

" Incredible feeling"

He quickly removed his hand and stood up and saw that he was completly naked

" Where are my clothes- wait a minute!"

He looked back at the girl and lifted the blanked once again and saw that she was naked aswell. He began to sweat and slowly walked backwards towards the wall. he looked around and found his old clothes.

" There they are!"

He quickly put them on

" Your awake?"

He turned around as the woman raised her body and curled her eyes, while the balnked fell a little each time she curled her eyes.

" Y-Y-Yes i am thank you but please be carefull the blanked will-"

The blanked fell down revealed her whole chest, She looked down and then to Nyarlathotep. her face immediatly turned red.

" DONT LOOK!!!"

She threw one of the pillows at him while covering her body with the blanked again.

' She is cute!'

She wrapped the blanked thighly around her body and then looked angry at Nyarlathotep

" You saw it didn't you"

" It? what- wait first tell me why where i naked!"

She walked a step back

" I- I helped you! without me you would be dead!!!"

" You helped me?"

Nyarlathotep remebered how he was laying on the floor after he used to much mana

" Yes....? now i remember but why am i naked?"

" I- Its the fastest way beacuse you needed mana and to transfer it the fastest way we needed to have as much body contact as possible"

" I see then im sorry and thank you"

" Your welcome"

Nyarlathotep then put his clothes on

"You saw it right....?"

" I still dont know what you mean?"

" My mark"

She pulled the blanked a little lower revealing a mark on her chest it was a mark looking like a tattoo and looked like a self eating dragon.

" What is that?

" It is a curse which will forever mark me as monster even here in the realm of the evil i still get seen as a monster"

Nyarlathotep closely walked towards her and looked at it

' I saw it somewhere before...'

He thought will looking at the mark

" Go ahead say it im a monster..."

" I would rather say your pretty beautiful, snow white hair and soft white skin alonside with a perfect body and on top of that you are a gentle person."

Her eyes burst open as tears fell down her face

" I- Im sorry! did i say something rude?!"

" No! im sorry.... but nobody ever said im beautiful or gentle their rather avoided me or called me monster and abomination while throwing rocks at me there were just one family which took me in their house but even they feared me...."

" But why? "

" Its because of my strong magic. Currently my magic is sealed away through the curse i bear, but someday it will break and when it will i get my powers back"

"Well but this means you were once someone else right?"

' Could she be a...'

" Unfortunaly i cant remember my past the only thing know is that i once were an ancient dragon"

" Ancient dragon?"

" The ancient dragon are creatures created from an unkown creator. their only task is to serve the king they view as worthy for as long they exist. they are unbelievable powerful and capable to destroy a realm with their power, while its sayed that the king can even destroy all"

Nyarlathotep placed his fingers on his chin and sat down

" That indeed sounds powerful"

" I too have a question?"

" Yes?"

" Is it normal for humans to have yellow pupils with a vertical slit instead of normal round pupils"

" What do you mean?"

" Your eyes? here look"

The woman brought an mirror and showed nyarlathotep his own eyes

" What the hell!!!"

His pupils were indeed yellow with a vertical slit

" It feels like something is missing? but what???"

" Through the still unfinished race change into a ******** the masters eyes not fully transformed"

' You know you haven't answered my question? you just made more!'

He looked angry at the mirror waiting of a respond wich never came

" Everything alright"

The woman asked worried over the sudden change of his mood

" Y- Yes! i was just thinking but thank you for telling me that"

"Your welcome"

" But well with these eyes i will to get seen as monster"

" You dont need to worry i will not see you as monster"

" Thank you.... you still havent said me your name right?"

" Oh yes my name i Tiamat"

' Tiamat? i once heard that name.... yeah there was a goddess with that name if i remember right'

" Well Tiamat i will now go out"

" Oh then let meet up later"

" Alright"

" Nyarlathotep left the house

" My clothes are destroyed i need something new"

He walked through the villiage while watching his surrounding, the houses where build out of wood, merchants where selling their products and the poeple were walking through the village

" How peacefully but...."

All people where looking at nyarlathotep and whispered something

" Its him!"

" His clothes...."

Nyarlathotep quickly walked forward to escape the eyes of the people

" Finally this whispering made me feel uncomfortable but where am i no-"

He looked up and saw the man which he spared crucified and pierced with several spears he was begging for mercy and help but the people just threw stones at him instead

" That's his own fault but is that not a bit...."

Suddenly a man appeared before him

" Our great saivor"

" Huh? what?!"

" Please forgive me my rudeness but could you please follow me to our leader great saivor"

" yeah why not but please call me Nyarlathotep"

" Alright master Nyarlatotep"

Nyarlathotep sighed before following the man to the leader

Ten minutes later

" leader i brought him"

" Oh thank you shiva"

"No need to thank me leader"

Nyarlathotep looked suprised at the leader, he had black horns with black eyes and looked pretty old even for old men

" You must be the one who saved us, welcome im the leader beelzebub"

' What are this for weird elve names!'

"H- Hello"

"Before i continue i have a question for you"

Nyarlathtep sat down

" Tell me what do you think of our village and what do you think of us"

" To be honest the village seems to be at its limits the houses are pretty cheap and you dont have any defense like gurads or at least walls. but the people seems strong i dont know how other races are compared to you elves but you seem to have a pretty strong will"

" Im sorry but you seem to missunderstand something"

" What do you mean?"

" We aren't elves if we we're the humans haven't enslaved"

" Your.. not elves? but what then?"

" I would rather keep that a secret, but we are demon well most of us are half breed but there are some normal demons"

" Demons?"

Nyarlathotep looked at them

' Aren't demons this big unhuman and evil monsters?'

" lord Nyarlathotep is everything alright?"

" Y- Yeah i was just suprised. I didn't thought demons would look this normal?"

"Aren't you... disgusted by us?"

" No. Why should i"

" B- But we're demons!"

" And?"

" You must be scared and disgusted of us!"

" And why your just normal people like everybody else?"

"Normal.... people"

The old man fell on his back and laughed loud

" Is everything alright?!"

" Im fine im fine! It was just the first time in my 150 years that i heard this sentence"

" Does that have anything to do with the fact that people called you lowlife?"

"Yeah thats right. there are many realms in our universe the one where the humans live, the one of the elves, the one of the orcs and so on. But hundred years ago after a great priest appeared the humans declared war at any realm, and began to kill anybody who dosen't surrender. They were brutal and had no mercy, while any other realm had a hero or a demon king who protected them our realm was the only one without one"

' Demon king? hero?'

" After the humans found out we have neither a hero nor a demon king, they instantly attacked us and killed over more than 30% of our race. we fought back but lost,we had no a choice and fled into the demon forest to hide from them. But as you saw it is just a matter of time till they find us. They enslave the ones they capture and kill the ones who fight back"

" I see"

" Its a rought time currently"

" Is there anything i can help with"

The leader looked at Nyarlathotep smiled and grabbed a symbol on his chest which looked like a black sword

" Yeah there is one thing you could do for us"

" As long as i can do it i will do it!"

" Please follow me"

The old man stood up and walked out with shiva and Nyarlathotep they left the village and walked a mountain up. When they arrived every tree on the mountain was dead and the river was completly dry while corpses of animals where laying around

"Where are we"

Nyarlathotep asked while walking forwards

" We are on top of mashu "

" And what do you want me to do?"

The old man smiled and pointed at a greatsword which was inside of a corpse. The greatsword was big to be called an sword. Massiv thick and heavy while on the middle a sentence where written down:" I know not where it came from; It existed before God"

" What a beautiful sword"

Nyarlathotep said that while smiling at the sword due to his love for all forms of swords. the old man then smiled

" Your task is to take it out of the corpse"

" BUT LEADER!!!"

" Stay quite!!!"

Shiva looked worried at Nyarlathotep which walked towards the sword

" Is that all? i mean it looks heavy but i should be able to take it out"

" leader what are you doing nobody can take the sword out only the true owner is able to take it out. so why?"

" Just shut up and watch "

The old man kept watching while nyarlathotep stood infront of the sword

' Ok just take it out'

He grabbed the sword breathed in and then used all his strenght to put it out. the blade immediatly came out like it was made of paper and due to the fact that he used all his strenght to put it out it flew in the air and landed infront of the old man and shiva. Both looked shocked but still stood still while the giant massiv sword which was even bigger than them stood infront of them.

" SORRY!!!"

He quickly ran over grabbed the sword and held it up

" Its so light!"

He layed it on his shoulder and smiled on them

" Was this all"

The old man laughed loudly while shiva fell on his knews

" Finally he appeared!"

the old man seemed very happy and grabbed Nyarlathoteps shoulder

" From now on you will be the new leader of our village!"

" Huh?! wait i dont think i can i mean shiva say-"

Shiva who was still shocked looked at the sword while mumbeling the same sentence over and over again

" He took it out"

Nyarlathotep looked at the sword

" What have i done"

The three then returned at the village where the leader called all people to gather at the center

" My dear people it has happened after 666 years the sword of leviathan has been taken out!"

The people began to look shocked while others began to cry and covered their mouth

' Whats wrong with them its just a sword?'

" And so from this moment on i will give my position as leader to the our new leader Nyarlathotep!"

" What?!"

The people began to scream and jumped happy

" Old man what is happening?!"

" This sword your hold is Caliburn. This sword belongs to the one who created us demons, and only he is able to lift it"

" Who's sword?

" The creator of demonkind the dragongod leviathan"

'Leviathan i once read his story'

"Well that was his dragon name which he gave himself but his true name is only known by the gods"

" Alright i get it but why am i the new leader"

" Its said that the one who takes caliburn out will be the true demon lord of our race"

" And who was it back then?"

" Leviathan"

" Only he....?"

" Yes!"

" Alright stop looking at the like that i'll do it"

" I knew you would"

The old man walked him in to the front

" From this moment the new king will reign"

' What should my name be?!!'

" Our new leader the Scarlet king!"

" Huh?"

The people began to scream the name in perfect ryhm

" Scarlet king?"

" Yes I thought it would suit you"

" Well it sounds nice but how did you think of that"

" Let just say i see it"

" Whatever"

" Before you can go please choose a secretary"

" Secretary? well why not"

Three woman came up and stood in a line. One had blond hair and a bored face, the other looked sadistic with black hair and the last had blue hair with a happy face

" I dont know are there more?"

" Well as long as the person wants you can take anybody"

"Then i have one"

He turned around to the crowd and pointed at Tiamat

" I'll take her"

" Tiamat looked suprised at him while the three secretary and the people looked disgusted at her

" Are you sure?"

" Yes i think you would suit it the best"

"Then i will take you offer"

Nyarlathotep smiled at her and then intended to walk away

" Stop! new leader"

" Three men approached him

" Here since you are the new leader please finish the work of the old one he seemed sick the last coupe days"

' This bastard'

" Alright then show me where"

The people then walked back to what they did earlier while Nyarlathotep followed the men to a big house

" This will be your house leader"

" Alright seems bigger than the others "

He walked in and looked around. It was a old house with four rooms he entered the one with a big red door

" Lets see whats here?"

It was a messy giant room filled with unfinshed paperwork

" Oh hell no!"

He quickly closed the door and walked back as Tiamat appeared before him

" Oh Nyarlathotep i just brought my stuff to my room is there anything i can help you with?"

" To be honest"

He explained her what he saw in the room and what happened till now

" You have pulled the sword out?!"

" Yes what is so special about that!"

" Not even the hero could take it out. The old dragongod leviathan was one of the strongest creatures in existence its said that he destroyed three realms because they annoyed him"

" But what shall i do. i dont have anything against to be the leader but this all of this work...."

" Leave that to me i will find a way just do the other task you have i'll finish the paper work"

"But-"

" Dont worry im your secretary so its okay"

" Fine but when you need my help say it"

" I'll do dont worry"

Nyarlathotep left the house and sat down while looking up

" So this will be my life now? sounds funny"
