Chapter 2: Encounters at Bundy Hill

An a Sunday afternoon Matt told his parents he would be sleeping at a friends then left to go to the office. He flew up through the invisible flaw arriving in the dimly lit studio, every devil was there.

Lucifurge: Thank you for coming. We have a few happenings to investigate. There have been sightings of a black dog in the moors up from the village. As soon as it's dark we'll fly there

Matt: got it

Matt went to the corner shop with Winston.

Matt: Why is lucifurge the boss?

Winston: in what way?

Matt: like is it normal for demons to set up power structures and groups around earth

Winston: it's called a vanguard. Pure devils come to the prime dimension, earth, and convert mortals into devils. Our population was destroyed in the Great War of heaven when the Original Satan and God first battled each other.

Then things like the Demon wars devil civil wars and lucifarian revolutions placed caps on the populations of divine creatures like demons and angels. The system of reincarnation was invented thousands of years ago to help us recover.

Matt: is the oldest the most powerful?

Winston: well the King, the original devil, elects a queen, a centrepiece and agent. Then 6 commanders, 2 rooks 2 knights and 2 bishops. An an army of pawns. Lana is the queen I'm 1 knight and Gwenovier is 1 rook. You're a pawn

Matt: so like highschool Dxd?

Winston: you're a ******.

Matt: what do you want?

Winston: Cumade

Matt: right

Later on the devils of lucifurge met at the office. The sun set and they flew up to Bundy Hill, scouring about. They couldn't really find anything. They went down a crevice into a field with some bushes glowing crimson dimly.

A black hunched over figure lay in the centre of the field glowing ominously. Lucifurge formed a spear of antimatter and approached. She extended her devil wings when the beast got up slowly being struck by red lightning many times. It had so many eyes lit up in amber, rich garnet smoke.

It's fur was standing on edge. It retracted thousands of teeth and growled at lucifurge showing it's full black form. The things mouth had a golden frosting and shone scarlet like hell itself was to be found in its guts. It was like a dog in its shape, get covered in spikes blood and the size of 5 men. It was 5 metres tall and stretched on endlessly into the knight. Only it's head and disgusting features could be seen as they were lit up by its maw.

Matt: Can we leave??

Lucifurge: I can teleport and heal you if it attacks. We're here to investigate. It looks docile

Winston: we'll I suppose we've found what was spoted.

It spoke in a horrid deep voice which radiated through each devils skeleton. It's breathing was more words than meaning. It had an ancient accent that was unidentifiable.

Black Shuck: what manner of being are you

Lucifurge: we are devils. We have come to make sure these mountains are a safe place to live.

Black shuck: how's feeble. Where am I?

Matt: Staetzia

Black shuck: I don't know where that is. Am I close to Whitby?

Lucifurge: no that's in angland

Black shuck: is it far?

Matt: yes, across the ocean to the east.

Black Shuck: very well then. I am Black Shuck. I have been hibernating since my defeat. Now I shall find my master.

The creature enveloped itself in red mist and flew off as breakneck speeds as if it was the night itself.

Matt: what the **** was that about

Winston: he was probably some sort of hellhound looking for a vampire.

Lucifurge: I suppose we can go now.

A bolt of lightning hit a few yards away. In the distance a black, man-like figure stood menacingly. Another bolt of lightning struck close to matts face bringing the spectre of death closer to him.

I'm His face looked like a mask, almost etched on. His teeth were pointed but the rest of his face was like a skull. He was dressed in deep complex fabrics and golds, carrying a deformed sickle that glistened in the moonlight.

Lucifurge: **** another one. What do you want?

The Undertaker: I am an omen of death. Soon you will encounter a beast of life. Keep training.

A third lightning bolt struck and he disappeared into the sky as a cloud of dust.

Lucifurge: Who knows what he was. He was clearly at this hill because of us. Let's get back .
