Chereads / The Demon king's awakening / Chapter 3 - chapter 3

Chapter 3 - chapter 3

In the Kingdom of the Gods, a gathering of divine beings convened in the grand throne room. The air was thick with anticipation as they discussed a prophecy that had been whispered among the gods for centuries.

"It is said that Lucifer, the Morning Star, shall rise again," declared Zeus, King of the Gods. "Not in his own form, but in the body of another. A vessel, chosen by fate, shall house the essence of Lucifer."

Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, frowned. "This prophecy has been spoken of for ages, but what evidence do we have that it shall come to pass now?"

Poseidon, God of the Sea, spoke up. "The signs are clear. The alignment of the stars, the whispers of the Fates...all point to the imminent return of Lucifer."

Ares, God of War, snorted. "And what of this vessel? Who is to be the unlucky soul to house the essence of Lucifer?"

Zeus's expression turned grave. "That, we do not know. But we must inform the supernatural world of this prophecy. They must be prepared for the coming storm."

Athena nodded. "I shall send Hermes, Messenger of the Gods, to inform the kings of every supernatural species. They must be warned of the impending danger."

Hermes, with his winged sandals and mischievous grin, bowed before Athena. "I shall depart at once, my lady. But what message shall I convey to the supernatural kings?"

Zeus's voice boomed. "Tell them that Lucifer's return is nigh. That they must set aside their differences and unite against the coming darkness. For if they do not, the consequences shall be catastrophic."

Hermes nodded, his eyes sparkling with determination. "I shall deliver the message, my lords. But what of the vessel? Shall I reveal to the supernatural kings that Lucifer shall rise again in the body of another?"

Athena's expression turned thoughtful. "No, Hermes. That information shall remain with us, for now. The supernatural kings must be warned, but they must also be allowed to prepare without the burden of knowing who among them may be the vessel."

Hermes bowed, his wings fluttering as he prepared for departure. "As you wish, my lady. I shall deliver the message, and the supernatural world shall be warned of the coming prophecy."

With a final nod, Hermes vanished into the ether, leaving the gods to ponder the weight of the prophecy.

Hermes descended into the supernatural world, his winged sandals carrying him swiftly to the Dark Reign Pack in the Kingdom of Werewolves. The pack was ruled by the Alpha King, also known as the Millennium Wolf, a being of immense power and wisdom.

As Hermes arrived, the Alpha King summoned the kings of every supernatural species to gather in the grand hall of the pack. The room was filled with an air of anticipation and curiosity as the kings took their seats.

Hermes stood before them, his eyes gleaming with a divine intensity. "I come bearing a message from the gods," he declared. "A prophecy of great import, one that concerns the return of Lucifer, the Morning Star."

The kings exchanged uneasy glances, their faces set with concern.

"Lucifer's return is nigh," Hermes continued. "He shall rise again, not in his own form, but in the body of another. A vessel, chosen by fate, shall house the essence of Lucifer."

The kings murmured among themselves, their voices filled with worry and speculation.

"What does this mean for us?" asked the Vampire King, his voice low and menacing.

Hermes's expression turned grave. "The return of Lucifer shall bring darkness and chaos to the supernatural world. You must set aside your differences and unite against the coming storm."

The kings nodded, their faces set with determination.

With his message delivered, Hermes departed as swiftly as he had arrived, leaving the kings to ponder the weight of the prophecy.

As the kings began to disperse, the Alpha King, the Millennium Wolf, called out to them. "Let us not forget the words of Hermes. We must stand united against the coming darkness."

The kings nodded in agreement, their voices filled with a newfound sense of purpose.

"I propose that we form an alliance," said the Witch Queen, her eyes gleaming with determination. "A union of all supernatural species, united against the return of Lucifer."

The kings considered her words, their faces set with thought.

"I agree," said the Dragon King, his voice low and rumbling. "We must stand together if we hope to survive the coming storm."

The other kings nodded in agreement, and the supernatural world was forever changed.

As the kings departed, the Alpha King, the Millennium Wolf, watched them go with a sense of hope. Perhaps, just perhaps, the supernatural world could unite against the coming darkness.

But as he turned to leave, a figure emerged from the shadows. A figure with piercing blue eyes and jet-black hair.

"Alpha King," the figure said, its voice low and menacing. "I see you're taking the prophecy seriously."

The Alpha King's eyes narrowed. "Kael, what brings you here?"

Kael's smile was cold and calculating. "Oh, just thought I'd drop by and offer my services. After all, I have a certain... expertise in dealing with Lucifer's kind."

The Alpha King's expression turned skeptical. "I think we can handle this one, Kael. But thank you for offering."

Kael's smile never wavered. "Suit yourself, Alpha King. But when the time comes, don't say I didn't warn you."

And with that, Kael vanished into the shadows
