Chereads / King Pluto / Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Walking through the crack I noticed seven beautiful people wearing an interesting uniform. Of those people there were some who had horns protruding out of their heads, thirteen more figures revealed themselves, with these ones having dawned themselves in some sort of armour and having snow white wings attached to their backs.

"How did I end up in this bloody forest, and why am I inhabiting a toddler's body? Who the hell are those people and what the hell is that?" Pluto asked in an absolute panic, unsure on whether it was a wise decision to accept being reincarnated under such bizarre circumstances.

Not to far away from Pluto was a mysterious orb that was lined with distinct black and red lines, lining it's interior.

"No, it can't be that fiendish Messenger God did promise to send me summons but he failed to tell me they'd be freaks, I mean what am I supposed to do with those sideshow acts?"

As Pluto re-evaluated his situation, the 20 summons began discussing their own abrupt and unexpected summoning.

"Who the hell summoned us to this barren land?" Lucifer asked.

"Beelzebulo, send us back now. I am tired of your stupid games!" Diablo exclaimed.

"Diablo, this time it isn't me, something stronger pulled us here." Beelzebulo said, clearly also being perplexed by the whole situation.

"Why are devils constantly whining and bitching about every little thing" Eir said,

in a disapproving tone while shaking her head.

"But anyways, I see some human hiding beyond the shrubbery, let's ask him about exactly where we are." Suggested Eir.

The summons began making their way towards the direction of Pluto, all curious as to why exactly he appears to be hiding. As they made their approach each of the summons suddenly were overcome by a visceral feeling to halt their, and kneel before the figure that was obscured in front of them.

Resisting the urge Lucifer yells: "You there, human who's hiding in the bushes, who are you, and why do you hide before us?"

Pluto having mustered all of his courage and bravado sharply stands tall and boldly states: "I am Pluto and I am the one who summoned you here. Don't allow my young appearance to fool you, I am your master, making each of you my summons."

Everyone went silent, still trying process exactly what this human child before them just declared.

"You insulant child! Do you know who I am? Who we are?" Lucifer asked, made livid by Pluto's declaration.

"Yes of course I am aware of who you are my lowly sideshow attractions." Pluto states.

"Sideshow attractions?" Eir confusedly asked.

"Human, did you seriously summon us here, to this world?" Beelzebulo asked while looking intensely into Pluto's eyes as to tell whether he was speaking the truth.

Pluto feeling less and less courageous and more and more anxious by the passing second, decides to drop the false confidence and speak openly about what he knows, disclosing everything he knows.

"Well technically, no I didn't, but someone said they would summon twenty loyal summons for me, who will act as my aid in this world." says Pluto.

"I see" says Beelzebulo, turning his head to the other summons looking for perhaps some sort of explanation.

"Wait, Beelzebulo, don't tell me you actually believe this repugnant brat." exclaims Lucifer.

"Well Lucifer, what are your theories? This human child is the only one who appears to be here with us and he seems to know more about our situation then we do. What do you expect us to believe? Eir asked.

"We the devils are the kings of our world, and the Valkyries are the chiefs. We could never in a million years be reduced to being measly servants for any man or being, let alone this abhorrent human child. I simply refuse it!" Lucifer exclaims proudly.

"But can you truly deny it?" asked Beelzebulo.

"Deny what?" Lucifer asks.

"The acute sense of odd subservience you're feeling towards this child." Beelzebulo states.

"It must be some sort of sorcery, some trick." states Lucifer.

"No. You said it yourself Lucifer, we are hailed kings and chiefs, no measly trick can afflict us. What the boy speaks must be the truth." says Mammon.

"But then the question becomes, who was it that summoned us to serve the boy?" asked Leviathan.

Silence once again overcomes the group , with each member attentively looking to Pluto in anticipation of an answer.

"Well child who was it?" Eir asked.

"He called himself 'The Messenger of Gods', that's honestly all I know about him" timidly states Pluto.

"The Messenger of Gods? Then perhaps might it be the Messenger God who you speak of?" Eir asks concernedly.

"Then perhaps it is true that we have become summons after all." Says Diablo.

"So what? We have been denounced to being lowly summons. For what reason! For what purpose!" yells Lucifer.

Pluto slowly raises his head up and clinches his fist, looking Lucifer directly in his enraged eyes he says: "You were summoned here…to protect me."
