Down in Hell Lucifer can be seen sitting on a throne made of blood and bone, staring at his city of sin. He stood 8 foot tall, with black and red skin with two curved horns atop of his figure. "What do you have to report of the demon that was in the human world?" Lucifer asked in a deep gritty voice.
One of the demons shook when they had heard his voice.
"My lord, the demon that was sent to scout earths inhabitants was seen by one of the vampires."
Hearing this Lucifer was seen with veins in his head. "What do you mean, they were seen. They shouldn't have been seen by anyone! Did you even tell him to cloak himself?!" Lucifer yelled out in a volume that was deafening. The demon cleared his throat. "I'm sorry my lord. The demon tried to hide his energy and didn't do a good enough job of it. I'll make sure it never happens again." Staring down at him Lucifer waved his hand. A dozen demons appeared pulling the demon down and ripping out his insides. Screams of pain could be heard throughout his throne room. The demons felt a rush of pleasure hearing his pained screams. "ENOUGH!" Lucifer yelled out as the demons stopped tearing into the demon on the ground. Lucifer walked up to the demon and grabbed him by the head. His torso was only holding on by a thread. "How can I rule Hell with such incompetent minions. You are utterly useless." He knew the demon was already dead. He just needed to vent his anger. Throwing the demon back to the rest, he waved his hand and they continued eating the demon until nothing was left. "Leave me be." Lucifer commanded and the demons were seen flying away out of his throne room. Lucifer walks out of his throne room down the hall. He could hear screams coming from different rooms. "I can't believe that I'm stuck here with these useless ants. Dracula has it easy. I don't know why he didn't change that name, Vlad was a better name." Lucifer thought to himself as he stopped at the gates of his demonic castle. He stepped out and saw hell. It was red covered with countless amounts of blood, he say bodies that were impaled on spikes.
"That brings back the good old days." He thinks to himself as he finds the oracle of hell. Finally appearing at the house of the oracle Lucifer walks in. " So, I see you're having fun today Clarice." Lucifer says looking at the woman as she drained something that looked like black and red blood into a pot that was boiling.
She looked at Lucifer with a serious gaze. "What can I do for you today Lucifer?" Feinting shock, he puts his had to his chest. "Ouch, it's good to see you too Clarice. Can't I see an old friend?" He said laughing. "No, you always want something from me. You haven't come down to see me and spend time with me for any other reason than that." She said as she stirred her pot.
Clearing his throat Lucifer smiled and replied. "Well today I guess you can say that's true. I need you to try to look into the future of a certain someone for me." Clarice heard what he said and squinted her eyes at him. Curious, she asked. "Who is it?" Lucifer smiled again. "It was the man turned by that vampire bitch Jenny, she was with him and Alistair. I need to know if he'll be a threat in the future."
Sighing she agreed. "I guess it's lucky I made this then." She motioned to the pot as she waved her hand and mumbled something. Soon the pot started to produce smoke and a ring was formed around the pot as a magic window appeared. Clarice frowned. "I can't see anything about this man. Are you sure there was someone turned by her?" She asked seriously.
"I'm sure, I have demons disguise themselves in the human world and managed to get some information and a blood sample." Lucifer said as he held up a vial of blood and tossed it into the pot. "Why would you do that Luci?" Clarice asked angered. Lucifer stared at her with disgust and anger in his eyes. "Never call me that again." He said as his voice got so low it sent shivers up her spine.
Shaking her head Clarice stirred the pot more and got a clear image of the man. She gasped and fell back. "What's wrong Clarice? What did you see?" Lucifer asked concerned. Shaking her head Clarice said. "It's impossible, from what I can see. This man if we can call him that. Will ascend the ranks of the vampire race and take Dracula's place as the rightful king."
Hearing this Lucifer put his hand to his chin and spoke. "Is that even possible? Drac has been alive for thousands of years, he's the start of the vampire race. No vampire can reach his level." Clarice shakes her head. "Normally it's not possible, but looking at this man there's a dangerous aura around him, he's surrounded in light and darkness. It's like I'm seeing a monster, something that will be the undoing of everything." She said shaking.
"Hmm. Alright that will be it, I'll take my leave." Lucifer said as he turned to walk out the door. Clarice stopped him. "Wait, Lucifer. Please, heed my warning, if that man is not dealt with, he will destroy you after taking Dracula's spot as king." Staring back at her Lucifer ignored her words and left.
I wake up at the bottom of the hole I fell in. It was atleast a several story drop. Trying to get up I notice that one of my legs is turned around facing me. "Jesus christ, if I was a human I'd be dead." I say to myself as I pull my leg and try to set it back in place. As I do, I hear the bone clack together and feel the pain of my tendons and muscle repair itself. Getting up I look around. "It's dark as hell down here. I need some light." I say as a light appears above me. Smiling, I walk down further into the cave. I suddenly remember what I picked up. I look for the crystal laying down by a wall, I go to pick the crystal back up and hear something. The light goes infront of me as a figure can be seen crawling down the ceiling. It hisses at me. I move the light down the hallway to light up what's there. As soon as I see it I regret that decision.
The monster stands up it's menacing looking. Every bit of 7 foot tall. With black eyes and a body that looks humanoid but very snake like. It has a smooth tail extruding from its backside. I call out to the monster "What are you and what do you want from me?" The monster roars out, it's so loud since we're in a cave and its roar deafens me for a second, I drop to one knee holding my ears. The monster stops and speaks in a low voice. "Crystal...Mine..." I look at the crystal and look back at the monster. I shake my head no. "It's mine now I found it fair and square." I say as I put the crystal in my pocket next to the other one.
The monster clearly angered by this, raises one hand that looks webbed and has sharp claws and points it at me. "Then I eat you." The beast says as it rushes towards me. I see this and I turn around and run, knowing full well I can't take this beast on. I run around the corner and see a set of stairs. Deciding to take them I run up them and get to the top and notice a stash of crystals piled as tall as I am. The light shimmers off of them and blinds me. I look away and realize I can use this to my advantage. I turn off the light and wait for the monster to get up here. I hear its foot steps. Heavy and definitely angry. It makes it to the top of the stairs. "Where you man" The beast says out in terrible english. I laugh and say "Right here." I turn the summon the light and the crystals reflect the light and blind the monster. The monster clearly enraged closes its eyes and starts swinging its claws around hoping to hit me. I pull out my sword and charge it with dark energy and rush towards the monster and slash at its legs and hear a clink. I look at the sword and realize that this isn't going to be enough. Sighing I try to jump back. But as soon as I try to the monsters claws hit me in the side and impale me. I get sent flying to one side of the room and the light follows me. I lay down on the ground bleeding and having the air knocked out of my lungs. I hear the monster stomping towards me. I try to get up but the pain is too much. I look down and see my wounds healing up but too slowly. I realize that if I don't try to force myself up I'm not going to make it out of here.
"Damn it. Vestis, I need your energy to get up and get away." Laughing Vestis replies. "If you just let me deal with this you wouldn't have a problem." I shake my head. "Damn it Vestis this is not the time for this. I need your help."
Sighing Vestis agrees and I feel his energy wash over all of my body. Normally I could do this myself, but I can think with all of this pain. Feeling better, I force myself up and run. Heaving with each step. I look back and see the monster coming for me. I see a hole in the wall that's big enough for me to get through. I run for it and get in. As soon as I get in I hear the monsters voice.
