When I lived on earth, I was happy, had a girlfriend, had a stable job and was looking forward to life, but then the portals came, unnatural rips in the fabric of dimensions, and out came the demons, at first it was manageable, if was just a few thousand imps and gargoyles, but then our soldiers started dying, and joining the demons, then the knights arrived, tall muscular creatures of inmmense power and strength, even if they were still able to be killed. Humanity tried its hardest, but it wasn't enough, then a miracle happened, gods of various mythologies started to appear, they granted us the power to fight back, and we did, with technology and various powers we were able to push the demons back into their portals. We thought we had won, but a few months later, when we were still trying to pick up the pieces, more portals opened, and millions of demons came forth, Brazil was the first country to fall to them, then one by one, the rest of the world was taken over by them demons, the gods of old themselves fought side by side with humanity, it stemmed the tide for a little bit, but then came the marauders, there weren't many of them, but they were enough to kill the gods and change the tide for the worst, humanity had lost. By the time my group was cornered in that abandoned skyscraper, we were all that was left, me and Clara were going to die together at least.
That was what was supposed to happen, but we were rescued by a strange man, he was above average in height and looks, but other than that he seemed normal, but then Clara used her foresight, a skill that had saved us many times, and she looked at him, and she bleed from her eyes, I was so terrified, but the strange man just laughed and said,"HAHA thats what happens when you go poking around where you shouldn't little girl." Hearing him laugh, it made me so angry, I don't know why but I really wanted to punch him is his smug f****** face, just because I could. "Go ahead, try it motherfucker, I saved you from hell, and you want to punch me because your little girlfriend is too weak to use her power, or maybe she's just stupid, why else would she stick with a wimp like you." the man snarled. "yeah that's right, i'm a mindreader, and a damn good one at that, you if you want to see your companion get throw into a goblin den, id suggest you calm down" he said with that same smug smile.
"fine" I spat, "Why did you help us" I asked, "I was bored, plus its almost time for a rematch with some buddies of mine, so you guys will be trained for a few centuries then throw into some fantasy world to take over I guess, I don't know." he said. I just looked at him in shock,"who is this guy" I thought, then i stared in shock as he snapped his fingers and a female looking demon appeared in the space we were in, "you called my lord?" she said, " yes, clean these two up, and heal them, they get to rest for a week before they start training." he said, "yes my lord." she said with a bow, and with that she grabbed Claras leg and started to drag her away, " hey wait up!" I said as I ran after the demoness.
"good, that'll keep em busy for a while, what next, oh that's right, High Charity needs to be prepared, plus I need to take a trip to the world spear and collect something, then I have to deal with training these two little guys. DRÁKEN!" the man said before yelling a name, then entered a tell red demon, that look like it had seen some shit. " yes my lord?" it said with a bow, "After one week, start training those two humans I brought, go slow, the want them ready to fight in major battles by the end of 300 years, if they are ready beforehand, then reinforce, but do take it too far just yet, they are very weak." the man said, " yes my lord" the red demon said, before leaving the room. (sigh)"what am I going to do about those two, they aren't ready for whats coming, but hey it'll be fun to watch them break during "training" HAHAHA" the strange man said to himself.
While the strange man was laughing to himself, Alex was still following behind the demoness, wishing that she would be more gentle with Clara, even though she had stopped dragging her, Clara was still out cold, he wondered what she saw that made her pass out and bleed from her eyes, " I hope she'll be ok, I'd rather not be alone in this place." he thought, "She is fine, she just suffered a little bit of backlash, she'll be better after a good nights sleep, and even if she did die, you would definitely not be alone in this place, you two aren't the only strays the lord has picked up, there are about four more that have been collected, this has been the biggest group in a while, so even if your partner dies, you wont be alone." the demoness suddenly said.
I just looked at her is shock, there where more? "wait, if there are others, then why where we rescued?" I asked, she looked thoughtful for a full minute," I don't know, there was no logical reason for the lord to rescue the two of you, pathetic creatures even by primitive standards the stronger being is your world might have stood a chance if it had been any other invading force but in the end the ones who enjoy life are the strong, and you and your little girlfriend are weak and fragile." she said finally and although her words stung I knew that she was right and that we needed to get stronger, and fast. "Do you have any advice that could be helpful?" I asked hopefully,'maybe I can get some tips to stay alive a bit longer' I thought. The demoness walked a few more steps before saying,"If you really care about her, then you need to start training today, because if you don't someone stronger will take her from you and you won't be able to do anything about it." His fists clenched upon hearing that, he could not let that happen, Clara was the most important thing to him and he would do whatever it takes to keep her safe and by his side, even if he must lose his humanity.
As Alex thought about what the demoness said, they stopped in front of a large tall oak door that looked like it could fit two burly men standing side by side it was so large, and it was tall too taller that the hell knight that had almost killed them, shuddering as he thought about the behemoth that almost killed him. As the door opened the demoness began to talk again "This we be where you and the girl will sleep, it has a bathroom and uniforms for you to wear, keep it clean as the servants are busy and will only stop by about every three days to tidy things up." she said as she place Clara on one of the beds that were in the room, after that she left. As he looked around the room Alec thought that the room was very spartan, dark grey walls, two plain beds then two side doors that were most likely the bathroom and closet that he and Clara would have to share, but he was to tired to think about such things at the moment so after checking of Clara he went over to his bed and went to sleep to try and rest after all the hectic stressful things he has been exposed to in the last few months, be it demons, the death of gods of the strange man and the strange place that he had brought them . . .
