Chereads / The Demon king's awakening / Chapter 5 - chapter 5

Chapter 5 - chapter 5

Thane arrived at the Millennium Wolf's palace. As he entered the grand throne room, he saw that all the kings of the supernatural world had gathered. There was the Vampire King, the Dragon King, the Witch Queen, and many others.

The Millennium Wolf, the ruler of the werewolves, stood at the front of the room, his piercing yellow eyes surveying the gathering. "Welcome, Thane, son of Ryker," he said, his voice deep and commanding. "We have summoned you here today to discuss a matter of great importance."

Thane bowed his head in respect. "I am at your service, Your Majesty."

The Millennium Wolf nodded. "As you may know, Hermes, the Messenger of the Gods, visited us recently. He brought a warning of a prophecy that foretells the return of Lucifer, the Morning Star."

The room fell silent, with all eyes fixed on the Millennium Wolf.

"Hermes told us that Lucifer will return in the body of another, a vessel chosen by fate," the Millennium Wolf continued. "We do not know who this vessel is or where they can be found. That is why we need your help, Thane."

Thane's eyes narrowed. "My help? What can I do?"

The Millennium Wolf's expression turned serious. "You are a skilled hunter, Thane. We need you to help us find Lucifer's vessel before it's too late."

Thane's mind racing with the implications, he nodded. "I accept the challenge. But I will need more information. What do we know about the vessel?"

The Millennium Wolf's eyes seemed to bore into Thane's soul. "We know that the vessel will be someone with a strong connection to the supernatural world. Someone who may not even know their true potential."

Thane's thoughts turned to his son, Tyrese. Could he be the vessel? No, Thane pushed the thought aside. He had to focus on the task at hand.

"I will do everything in my power to find the vessel," Thane vowed.

The Millennium Wolf nodded, a hint of a smile on his lips. "I knew I could count on you, Thane. Together, we will face whatever dangers lie ahead."

As the meeting drew to a close, Thane felt a sense of determination wash over him. He would find Lucifer's vessel, no matter what it took. The fate of the supernatural world depended on it.

As Thane departed for the Millennium Wolf's palace, Aurora turned to Tyrese, her eyes serious. "Tyrese, I think it's time I told you the story of Lucifer's fall."

Tyrese's curiosity was piqued. "What happened to Lucifer, Mom?"

Aurora took a deep breath, her voice weaving a tale of ancient history. "Lucifer was once one of the most powerful and beloved gods in the divine realm. He was known for his beauty, his intelligence, and his charisma. But as time passed, Lucifer began to change. He became increasingly arrogant and power-hungry, believing that he was destined to rule over all the supernatural worlds."

Tyrese's eyes widened as he listened. "What did he do?"

Aurora's expression turned grim. "Lucifer turned his back on the other gods and rallied an army of followers, promising them power and glory if they joined him. He launched a massive attack on the supernatural world, seeking to conquer and dominate all the other species."

Tyrese's mind reeled as he tried to imagine the scale of the conflict. "But what happened to Lucifer? Why didn't he succeed?"

Aurora's eyes sparkled with a fierce light. "The other gods, led by the Millennium Wolf's ancestor, rallied together to defeat Lucifer. It was a brutal and devastating war, but in the end, Lucifer was cast out of the divine realm and imprisoned in the underworld."

Tyrese's breath caught in his throat. "But now Lucifer's supposed to return, isn't he? That's what the prophecy is about."

Aurora nodded, her expression somber. "Yes, Tyrese. The prophecy says that Lucifer will return, and when he does, he'll bring chaos and destruction to the supernatural world. But we can't let that happen. We have to stop him, no matter what it takes."

Tyrese felt a surge of determination course through his veins. He was ready to do whatever it took to help his family and the supernatural world defeat Lucifer and prevent the prophecy from coming true.
