Pov: Demon Eye
My name is Demon Eye. I am in my 140s. I got married young with the love of my life at the age of just 92.
I was trained by one of the strongest warriors in all of the land of hell, my father.
Then, when the time came for the blood moon, it was time to show the strength passed down from my father. The blood moon is a trial laid by the will of the universe for the human world. And we, as demons, had to participate in this trial. Most demons like me want to fight strong people and exercise their power without causing death. I would rather die than kill an innocent for no reason, but still, there were demons who viewed the human life as nothing more than a game. I hated this sick game, but for a warrior of my caliber, I had to participate.
I thought that it was a nightmare, a sick joke made by fate, but to my surprise, I found someone important, my disciple.
I've always wanted a kid, to leave a mark on this world, to love him and care for him. To become his teacher and lead him to become an honored warrior, just like my father did for me.
But the universe fated for me and my wife to never have a child. Even though I couldn't teach my kid, there was still a child that needed a lesson.
My wife and I took him as our own child.
She cooked for him, cared for him, and loved him.
He recently lost his family in the blood moon. He was full of anger, bloodlust and wanted revenge for his fallen close ones.
Damian was a talented child; He was born with the restriction of not being born with an element, but there was more to him. Because of his eyes, he could see mana at a molecular level. His talent allowed him to remember and improve every circle or gesture, plus his immense amount of pure mana made him a monster in Kinesic magic.
But no matter how talented he was, he was an idiotic lost child.
He was impatient, arrogant, and anti-social, but I had promised him that I would make him the strongest sorcerer.
I wanted to show him that no matter what happened in the past, he could still grow and become a better man. Revenge was nothing more than heavy shackles that only hold you down with no happy ending. But, the roots of hate permanently corrupted his mind the moment his mother threw him as if he were nothing more than trash. I needed to show him this light and lead him to become a better man. unfortunately, I failed.
Damian: "How does it feel? Your own teaching being thrown at your so-called "Family"?"
Damian became stronger, stronger than anyone in hell.
He destroyed the capital of the land of hell and continued by destroying more and more of hell. I had to stop him and bring peace.
The smoke from Damian's eyes was no longer blue. Now, it was dark, with little purple signaling an element of chaos.
After an intense battle, Damian got the upper hand and defeated me.
Demon Eye: "Why did you kill so many people? They were your friends, your brothers and sisters. How can you do something like that?"
Damian: "What? Those selfish creatures? No, thank you?"
Demon Eye: "You dumb*s-"
Said Demon Eye with a mouth full of blood.
Damian: "What? Do you think you are not the same?"
Demon Eye: "What do you mean?"
Damian: "I mean... I will not stop until I bring full chaos into hell. That means your wif-"
Demon Eye's aura started going crazy, destroying the environment around them.
Demon Eye: "HOW CAN YOU SAY THIS FOR THE WOMAN WHO FEED YOU AND GIVED ALL OF HER LOVE SO YOU COULD BE HAPPY?"
Damian: "HAHAHA THIS IS THE SPIRIT. Now kill me to save your wife's life"
Demon Eye's mind was a mess. Thousands of thoughts came and went.
Demon Eye: 'I HAVE TO KILL HIM NOW. KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL.'
Said Demon Eye in his mind before all of his mana left his body and got on his knees.
Demon Eye: "Was this what you call "hatred"?"
Damian: "What are you doing? STRIKE ME NOW. YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR AND YOUR WIFE'S LIFE RIGHT."
Demon Eye: "How can I do this to my son?"
Said Demon Eye before dying with a smile.
Damian: "*sigh* It looks like the fool was you all along."
Said Damian before raindrops started to fall on the floor.
Damian: "What? Why am I crying?"
Said Damian Bofore, looking around them. He saw what he saw in his village when he was younger. Chaos, death, and hatred.
Damia: "Wha-"
Everything around Damian got dark except 2 shadows.
Damian now had real eyes instead of his flames.
The first one was lying lifelessly on the floor. It looked like a tree that now turned into charcoal with a small blue flame close to its eyes.
Damian: "Who?-"
The second shadow was behind Damian. The shadow had a woman-like figure, she was like the other shadow made of wood, but the wood was healthy and dark. Instead of blue flame, she had the chaos-like flames, just like when Damian was fighting Demon Eye.
The Shadow got closer and closer until it hugged Damian.
The shadow: "Don't look at those people. You can't think about them. You have to protect me."
Said The shadow with a soft and caring tone.
Damian: "Yes, mother."
Damian's eyes have gone lifeless, and The shadow's roots surrounded Damian.
The darkness around Damian disappeared, and Damian was in his chaos-fire form again.
He saw a kid crying close to the corpse of Demon Eye. He got in front of the child and placed his hand on her head.
Damian: "Metarrýthmisi"
A magic circle appeared under her feats and reformed her body. From a little girl with small horns, she became a 7-meter monster and started going on a rampage.
Daian: "I have a lot of work."
2 years later
The hell was full of different colors of blood and billions of ruins everywhere. The only people who inhabited this place were gigantic monsters.
Damian: "Just like how hell was supposed to be."
Said Damian, flying in the sky.
Damian: "It's for my promotion to begin."
Damian holds a sphere in front of his face.
Damian: "Thési"
Black tattoos formed around Damian's hand.
The ball started shining, and the light formed ancient symbols with no order or meaning.
Damian: "Seirá"
The ball formed strange words like the ones in Damian's magic circle.
Damian: "Finally, I will become a celestial."
Said Damian before the ball broke. Black liquid with white dots started dropping from the ball onto Damian's hand until it covered his whole body. After a couple of seconds, the liquid splashed the floor, but Damian was nowhere to be seen.
Damian opened his eyes, and in front of him were 10 people.
All of them had the same features but with different colors, human-like bodies, they were made with cosmic matter, and they had an eye made of stars in the middle of their heads.

Damian: "My name is Da-"
The 1st Celestial: "We know who you are, Lich born."
Said the Celestial in a cold tone.
The 2nd Celestial: "We saw what you have done."
The 6th celestial: "Why don't you just ask your question."
Damian: "I need to bec-"
Every Celestial: "DENIED."
The 1st Celestial: "You don't need to become nothing Lich born. The only thing you brought to the land of the living is Chaos. Someone like you can not bring anything except death."
Damian: "WHAT."
The shadow: "They are not okay, Damian they are corrupted just like the Demons, Damian. Heal them. NOW."
Said The shadow behind Damian.
Damian's Dark aura exploded from his body.
Damian: "Fear not. I will cure you. "O Theós skotónei-"
The 1st Celestial: "Apogymnó"
Just as Damian chanted his spell, the celestial had already cut Damian's jaw with his own spell.
Damina: 'He beat me in Kinesic magic?"
The 1st celestial: "It seems that you need time out."
The 5th celestial pointed his finger at Damian and shot a white mana at Damian, which transformed into a prison.
The 1st celestial: "We will talk again soon, Lich born."
