The Devil’s Army

The Devil’s Army

Introduction

In ancient times demons were feared by the humans for their destructive ways. Being violent, killing humans and eating them for fun or sport. However now humans are no longer afraid instead they hunt for demons, so that they can use their power. They are killed, sold for number of reasons, and are now in fear; kind of ironic how the tables have turned. In the recent years, a priest had discovered a new way to protect and even defeat demons. It was proven to be super effective, and later was known worldwide. These items varied in so many ways and were soon sold just like any weapon.

Hearing word of this, the royals of the demon realm are trying to find the best way to deal with this. Their best solution was to ban all travel to the human world, until a better solution presented itself. Casus, son to the President of the household and council, heard of these events taking place. So, he then planned to rule the human world so that demons would not have to fear any longer, and how would he rule? By building the greatest demon army, and they would once again be feared as the dangerous, bloodthirsty monsters that they are.

Chapter 1

Casus sat at a table in the library studying the different types of demons, and how their powers worked. Isaac, whom was by his side since he could remember was his loyal butler, walked up and set down a cup of tea.

“My Lord, here is your tea, and your father would like to see you as soon as possible in the office.”

“Thank you, Isaac, and would you mind helping me find this book?”

“Certainly, my Lord, but may I ask why it is that you are reading books about demons that are of lower status than yourself?”

While finishing the book, he was currently reading, Casus took a sip of his tea. Isaac found the book in a matter of seconds and came back to his side handing the book to Casus. Just as soon as Casus finished the book he looked up, smiled and said.

“Isaac, to start an army filled with demons, you must know what they are capable of and where they would work best to fight.”

“I see, my apologies for not realizing sooner my Lord.”

“Quite alright Isaac just be sure to further educate yourself on war tactics for the future. You are dismissed now Isaac; I will report to my father’s study and then retire back to my room. When I return, I want to see these books on the nightstand with something to drink.”

“Yes, my Lord.”

Isaac gave a bow, as Casus walked out of the doors, and down to his father’s study.

After approaching the door, and giving a knock, the door opened. The room was dark but had a lamp that illuminated a red light in the corner. His father sits at his desk filing paperwork of some kind, he doesn’t once look up from his work. Casus walks in and takes the seat that sits in front of the desk, he then waits patiently for his father to finish what he is doing and discuss the matter he has called him down there for.

“Son, I called you down here to discuss the topic of marriage.”

“Which part of it would you like to discuss father?”

“Casus, you are going to marry Clarice Adams. She is a noble demon of a neighboring household, she will be good for you. She is very proper, beautiful, rich, and has a well-known name that will help you succeed later in life.”

“Yes father, it sounds like a marvelous idea. I’m sure this will be prosperous in providing a stronger ally.”

“Precisely what I thought, you are learning well my son. Then you will meet with her in two days, that is all you are dismissed.”

“Thank you, father.”

Casus then got up and exited the room with the door closing behind him. He then returned to his room, where Isaac stands awaiting his orders. Casus starts to tell him about what his father wanted to talk about.

“Isaac, what do you think of this whole arranged marriage?”

“Honestly, I do not know, my Lord. Because we have yet to meet her and know what kind of person she is.”

“You’re right, well I’ll meet with her and if she agrees, I’ll marry her.”

Ending with that statement Casus dismissed Isaac, and began his preparations for bed of reading every book that was brought in.

Hi, it's really a nice opening for a story and I do love the idea of the story itself. I think your novel has the potential to grow bigger. Do you mind if I ask for your social media/e-mail since I want to offer you something related to your work?
