The cold breeze of the night rustled the leaves of otherwise serene forest. The moonlight lit the world in its cold silvery glow.
At this time of the hour when most people confined themselves to their beds, a dark tear appeared in reality. The space was torn open and out crawled a demon.
Long fiery red horns curled behind his head. His short black hair shone with such luster and glow that would have one mesmerized. His wine red eyes sparkled like rubies. And his pale white skin skin and tall stature was stark contrast to his malevolent aura.
Lucian straightened himself up and looked around himself. He was in a forest and it was the time of night. He looked at the moons above, how long had it been? He didn't remember.
He didn't feel hatred towards his enemies, no they would get what was coming for them, but what he hated more than anything was having to spend untold eons in the everlasting and never changing void.
Lucian grinned as he smelled the fresh air of this world again, unlike back in hell where the atmosphere was but hot air and brimstone.
"Well where to now? Should I go back to hell or should I remain here?" As Lucian contemplated on his path of choice he eventually choose to remain in this world.
He waved a hand before him and his horns vanished. Meeting as a demon was never a good idea, as far as he remembered.
Even though he was not weak, it had been such a long time that he didn't mind recovering some of his strength first.
Lucian sensed the life force around. Noticing one big lump deep in the forest but he choose to ignore it and walked towards the cluster of one. A town or village.
As the demon walked with calm and leisure in his footsteps, he heard a crunch of a broken twig. He didn't turn for he knew what stalked him from behind.
Lucian grinned, "it has been a long time since I tasted some magical beast meat." And so with a slight step he vanished, appearing behind his startled stalker who didn't even get a chance to turn before its head seperated from its body, falling with a thud.
Lucian brought forth his now clawed finger and a cut a clean wound that poured forth blood. Tearing off a chuck of meat he ripped off the hide and bit on the still warm and beating flesh spewing blood.
"Hmmm, soft and tender, just the way I like it." He wiped his mouth clean with a bit of a magic and continued on his journey ahead.
The time of dwan was near when he laid his eyes on the strech of wall towering ten meters in height. He smiled as he reminisced of his life years ago when he was just a lost soul trying find his place in this world.
"Well those days are long over, I should keep moving."
As he walked out of the forest a dirt road presented itself to him which came from one end and led straight to the gates.
Lucian walked forward blending with the crowd, but still sticking like a odd duck. It was like a prince walking among peasants.
Lucian wasn't bothered by the looks of the crowd which were in equal parts confusion, lust and hate, the later coming mostly from other men.
When it was his turn to enter, the guard asked him of an identification proof and entrance fee which Lucian managed with just a tiny bit of glamour.
"Everything looks good sir Lucian, you are free to go. All right, keep silence and move forward without pushing others."
Lucian didn't pay any attention to the latter part as he found himself looking at the strech of houses and cobblestone road. There were rush of pedestrians, a flank covered by stalls and tilbury rolling forth with loads of hey being hauled by the muscular bull-like demi-human.
Lucian smelled the sweat covering labourers, spices and herbs from merchants and fetid smell from the back alleys. This was the economically weaker section of this city, he sure that slums wouldn't be far from here.
Lucian wasn't bothered though, he had smelled wore in hell and it still hadn't bothered him then, he strode forward. Time to start a new journey and find some demoness' to share his bed. Lucian grinned.
