The Fight of the Demon Lord (Demon Lord's Life) Page 4

  She opened it up and felt so much emotion inside of herself to know this is how he saw her. The picture showed her covered by a brilliant shade of orange and her hair stuck out as a deeper red like fire. Her eyes were blue and her smooth skin as well as the fact that face showed such obvious caring that her people often remarked about her. She laid it down on the glass and grabbed Drake kissing him on the lips for a short time. “That is how much I like your gift, you are so kind Drake. Do you even realize that?”

  “Not really I have been alone most of my life except for Sandy of course. Do I need to be jealous of her Drake I can be but I do not think I need to be.”

  “You are right she is just my friend I do not feel that way about her as I do about you.”

  I went home and Azure got her own ride from the museum. Fara was in the car next to me she was a tall woman of about six foot three and was athletic most of my kind were she had real blue eyes mine were orange showing me to be of royal birth. Her hair was long and blond it feel loosely around her head and I kept mine in a braid today it was just like the drawing I kept it in my pocket.

  “I feel that this human you are seeing it distracting you from your goal. Azure you need to find the Demon Lord so we can talk to him.”

  “My efforts to talk with his second Samual have all been refused he will not see me, only saying, ‘We must appeal to his Lord for them to stop the invasion of the Star empire your empire Azure Star anyway what must I do now?’ I have felt him at school but I have not been able to locate him yet he I well hidden from me Fara but I will continue my search. How is that man from the other night who had his mind used at the meeting by him?”

  “He is fine my lady but he has no idea how the Demon lord entered his mind like he did.”

  “That is not much of a surprise I hear the young man has quite the amount of power. What do we know of the Demon Empire Fara I wonder?”

  “Nothing other than what they tell us. They only appeared a few years ago on a bunch of uninhabitable planets that are now somehow livable, probably through terraforming.

  “I am not that sure Fara I wonder if this Demon Lord is not something else we know nothing of what most of them look like. They stay on their ships the entire time they have been in our space.”

  “That is beside the point Azure but I believe that there is far more going on in this invasion than we know about they have not killed a single one of our citizens so the question is what do he really want.”

  “Yes I am aware of that and if I had to guess I would say they want me to surrender the empire without violence Fara.”

  “Don’t be fooled Azure you know you can’t do that the people would never want to be enslaved to a foreign power. We are almost home we have set up eyes around the property so we will know if someone steps onto the land.”

  “I do not think they will work but good that might help. Now I need some sleep I have another date with Drake tomorrow.”

  “Azure come with me to the meeting room we need to talk about this young man that has caught your attentions.” She sat in the meeting room. “Now Azure do you realize that you have an obligation to your people before yourself?”

  “Yes I know that but Drake makes my heart race and makes me feel so alive I really like him Fara. I will not stop seeing him he called me his girlfriend I was so happy when he asked me. He is so polite about it too he asked permission my opinion matters to him.”

  “So you like him, then I understand we will need to announce this to your people then they need to know you are no longer single Azure, and you need to be honest about yourself and what a relationship with you would mean for him. He would need to fulfill his duties as your husband one day.”

  “Come on now Fara I am not sure it is that serious yet.”

  “You know that our kind only falls in love with one person and I know for you Azure it is him. You need to tell him soon so he knows what he has to do.”

  “Yea I guess that is to be expected I do need to tell him but I just wonder how he would take it humans can fall in love more than once.”

  She went to her room in a bad mood she had to lay all of this pressure on Drake, and she always knew it would happen. She fell for him the first time she saw him in school. But at least she could wait until she was eighteen to get married to Drake, it would be quite nice if he were to say yes. She went out onto the porch and stared into the sky.

  “So you want to marry Drake do you Azure tell me why you want to do such a thing.” She looked around startled then I realized it was in her head. Now you get it I knew you were a smart girl when I first saw you Azure.”

  “Who is this? What do you want with Drake and me?”

  “I want to talk is all Azure you need to know that I am closer to you than you think. I am the Demon lord and also not human Azure, but do you love Drake? I feel it but I need to hear it.”

  “What concern is that to someone like you and if you must know yes I love Drake Sarges now explain this to me.”

  “Move to your left Azure and you will come to me. I will explain that it is what we on earth call a leap of faith.

  I decided as on an impulse to do it. I jumped over the railing of the balcony. When I opened my eyes I sat in a large office chair someone sitting in front of me my breath caught in my throat.

  “I did not expect you to be this surprised Azure I love you to if you meant it. But please sit back down I have to talk to you about a few things.”

  “Why Drake is this some kind of cruel joke to torment me. I will sit but you do not come near me do you understand.”

  “I think that is a good idea now sit please as you just found out I am the Demon lord, but that does not matter to me I want to talk about how I feel.”

  “No you need to tell your people to leave the air space of the Star Empire Drake.”

  “I will but we must still talk there is more going on here than even I know about. You see I used to be human well almost but when I slept I became the Demon Lord and I was on my home planet Demonica. And I had some kind of plan that this was all a part of but I do not know what that plan is. For some reason I have the power but no idea who I am Azure I am as alone now as I was with my parents alive.”

  “You can’t be serious Drake you are a ruler of a powerful empire but you are alone and you would admit that to me do you expect me to feel sorry for you.”

  “No Azure I do not I killed my parents with the power I did not know I had, that I do not know why I have. There is more to me than I know I feel it something guides me towards an unknown future I need you at my side. We are friends and I love you I have dreamed of you I know you Azure as you know me. I have not deceived you I am telling you the truth now when it matters I feel it in you the love for me but I can remove it and maybe it will be as if we never met and you can love another.”

  “Even I could do that Drake what I feel for you is real and I would never want to change it you are a great person and I believe that to my core.”

  “That is nice of you to say Azure can we sit together on my couch if that is ok with you.”

  “Um yes I think I am ok with that but I am still just your girlfriend. We will not talk about us getting married until school is over if that is ok with you. I want to take this relationship slow and make sure it works if it can’t then I will take your offer.”

  We sat next to each other holding hands then Samual came in to my room. “Samual I am glad you are here I have some new orders to give please contact Fara. And ask if she would like to form an alliance with us and all troops are to leave the Star Empires space at once please.” I smiled

  “If that is your wish my lord it will be done. I will leave now, it is nice to finally meet you Azure I have heard much of you from Drake.” He left smiling.

  “Now I think we should not tell your people about the fact that you have found me Azure there might be resentment among a few of them. I want to make up for my previous actions of invading your peoples space, and I know just how to do it. Yo
u people need more colony room in your empire so I will give you several dozen new planets that we up until now unlivable to colonize. I have the power to make things the way I want them so I just made them livable with native wildlife to hunt and good planting soil.”

  “That is amazing Drake, such power, I can never tell anyone of it that would be far too dangerous for both of us.”

  “It is good to know I can trust you always now to seal the deal then you need to go home.”

  “How do we seal the deal?”

  I kissed her on the lips and while she was still speaking she quieted quite fast. “Now just get up and you will be back in your room.” She got up and went into the portal but she pulled me with her to the other side. When I found myself in her room I had to admit I did not expect that I would have to deal with her aunt so soon. It seemed she wanted me to meet her both as her boyfriend and as the Demon Lord. “So I guess you do not want to keep it between us like I asked.”

  “No way Drake you owe me this now be quiet while I get her. I am serious Fara I brought him here he has magic powers or something I don’t know he is in my room come on now.” I grabbed her tan hand and pulled her to my room she was still in her nightgown when I opened the door Drake was not on my bed but sitting by a crackling fire place in a tall chair.

  “So you are Fara, it is nice to meet you.” The doors closed behind them I did not want anyone else coming in. I called security just in case but they were not there so he must be keeping them outside.

  “Ok Drake what do you want from me?” I conjured up a meeting table with a treaty on it.

  “I promised Azure that I would leave your space but I think you need to sign into an alliance with me first so our two peoples never fight again. I do not want that.” I got up and sat at the meeting table as did Fara and Azure.

  “My people have already left your peoples air space and are bound for their homes. There have been no injuries on either side so this is not a real fight just a show of strength on my peoples part. I am sorry for the trouble I have caused but I believe that it’s helped lead to this exact point in time so we could meet. Now please read this through there are no catches it simply states that you will if Azure agrees on her eighteenth birthday be allowed to marry me and then we will unify our two separate empires. I have stated that as a dowry I have provided you people with one hundred type 1 planets to colonize in your own space that you may keep regardless of Azures choice. And an immediate cease to all hostility’s permanently as well the opening of trade between my people and yours. I think you can agree to this.” I sat at the table reading the document then looked at the young man in the face.

  “So you are willing to do all of this just for a chance that may not even happen to marry Azure Star and it is totally up to her is it?”

  “Yes that is right I gain noting besides the trade that will help us both.”

  “It is not up to me to sign it Azure what is your choice on this treaty of his.”

  “I agree we already talked it over he just wants to make it official. I wanted the same thing so I brought him here with me I hope you are not mad.”

  “Not in the least this young man has done nothing but act like a gentlemen to you. I agree to let you sign if you want.”

  I signed it as did Azure Star.

  “Good now I must get home I think someone has just come to see me.”

  “Wait Drake, how are you able to do what you do is it magic of some kind? I can’t tell you how I just do not yet know that much about myself. I hope to learn more when I go to my home planet in a few short days. Azure will you please come as well the school will literally not even know we are gone. I guess but Fara will not like it.”

  “Azure can be left in your care Drake, as a sign of trust, but be warned we will not sit idle if she is harmed.”

  “I understand that completely Fara now, good evening.” I entered my portal and left them behind.

  “Sire before you go home there is something I was told to give you by you in your dream state.”

  “Thank you Samual.” I looked at the small crystal shard it glowed in my hands. Before I knew it I was engulfed in the light of the small crystal then I heard a voice, my voice, only it seemed older, far older.

  “Can you hear me Drake I am talking to you?”

  “What is this? Where am I? Who are you?”

  “This crystal is a conduit that lets me talk with you. I am long dead but you are alive Drake you may call me Angel.” I saw a far older me with pure white hair. “I am you as you can see but I called you here to warn you of the threat that your time faces it will come when I do not know but they will come the enemy that I sent you back to fight. I sent myself back Drake with all of my power I was unable to stop them you are an old God of a time long forgotten. But you must bring back those who served you so long ago you must find Atlantis it lies on earth somewhere, but is protected it is up to you to find it that will be your first step you will learn more there son. I can tell you nothing more than that they come for me I see them.”

  “Who are they Angel? the light faded but before it did I heard a name, he feared the Shartan.

  When I opened my eyes I was back in my room, Samual by my side as well as Azure. I rose out of bed, “Then that was why I had been sent here in the first place to stop them.”

  “Stop who sire, we fight for you.”

  Not you this is a task that only I can do but I need information, something I do not have.” I think the seer can help you she sees all things in the flow of time we found her on Demonica. She was there when you settled the planet you seemed to show her a great deal of respect for that wise woman. She is quite old.”

  I looked at the former shard I had in my hand it was nothing but dust now. Somehow it got destroyed.

  “You two need to leave me for now I need to think I will call when we must leave.” I spent some time on my computer searching all topics related to the lost city of Atlantis. My guess is that if I am involved with it then Atlantis is some kind of island space city. That crash landed on earth but why or where I do not know. It seemed people are focused on it being under water but what if it was not under water at all but perhaps the reason it can’t be found is that it is air borne adrift in the sky protected by some power. That old woman could be the first clue to finding it but then what I need to make more plans and evaluate my current military strength. Perhaps some of my new tech might give us a bigger edge and I need to share it all with Azure. She is just as involved in this as I am I can’t let anything happen to her. If her people can’t protect her while I am not there then that would be a problem in which case I also need a backup plan. A new creation, a new kind of human that I could create from my imagination something designed for heavy combat as well as stealth and various other things. I have sent the first few I made to a new planet they mature new children in a mature of hours and are rapid breeders. At a certain point they no longer breed. I need quite a few but not an overpopulation problem that the planet cannot support. When I was done with that the first two soldiers arrived about six hours later they were lovely. The two standing in front of me were females as was the entire race.

  “We have come as you instructed Demon lord.”

  “Good now what are your names please tell them to me you on the right fist please. I am Savarea Seqis and next to me is.”

  “Let her speak for herself please Savarea.”

  “Yes my lord I am Dream Exotan, is an honor to meet the Father of our race.”

  “Please have a seat girls I hope you do not mind the young bodies, but I need you to blend in as Azure’s body guards at her home as well as at school.” I looked them over Dream appeared to be fifteen like me but was only a few hours old. With short straight brown hair and delicate features she was well formed with a strong athletic body. As is Savarea they both have green eyes a trait of their race Savarea had long strait blond hair past her shoulders. Dream stood at five eleven and Savarea was Six foot one both around 130lbs. “I l
ike your clothing girls but jumpsuits are out. Dress casual your weapons are in your body so no need to show them off too much your bodies are literally weapons.” Their fingers tips form into sharp claws and they have a few of my powers as well as super strength and powerful healing capabilities. I called in Azure she just stared at the girls red in the face. “Azure these are to be your new personal body guards they will go where you go and do what you do everywhere. They are your new best friends I called them in to help protect you Azure.”

  She stared at the two young girls in jumpsuits, “Well it is nice to know I have not been replaced Drake. That was a joke girls, hi, my name is Azure Star, and what are your names please?”

  “Hi Azure I am Savarea Seqis and to my right is my sister, Dream Exotan, we are honored to meet you my lady. We are here to serve you Azure. Dream and I will do our best to protect you and be your friends as well.”

  “Why do I need protection Drake am I in danger for some reason.”

  “Look you are important to me and that makes you a target for others not to mention the Shartan. If they come I will need help to protect you if I am not at your side speaking of which I want you to begin combat training with Dream. She will help you quite a bit. Now girls see her home, will you, I will see you tomorrow Azure we will head to Demonica and the capital Darmiea. We will spend some time there then go to the wise woman. It will be my first time home so we must be on our best behavior and bring Fara with you please it will be a good will mission for her to see my home.”
