The Fight of the Demon Lord (Demon Lord's Life) (6 page)

“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

“I
f 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. You 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 like 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.”

“
Yes but before I go I wanted to tell you Drake I have heard that your ships have left so thank you.” She walked over to him and kissed him on the cheek, “so I will see you soon honey,” she followed Dream into the portal home.

Chapter 4

“We are going where Azure? I can’t go to Demonica and neither can you that is out of the question.”

“
Yea Dream mentioned that you might not go for it so I am kidnapping you Fara.”

“
Well that would explain why you have me tied up, but still you have no ship Azure and your friends will be captured when they leave your room.”

“
No they won’t Fara we have an alliance, that would be an act of war and you know it. Now please stand up we are going Savarea did you pack my crap.”

“
Yes it has all been sent ahead as you requested and we left a note like you said now come Drake is waiting on the other side.”

“Wait
the other side of what Azure,” Fara asked as she walked forward and the room changed into another one.

“
So you have arrived I see well the portal is set up to my rooms in the imperial palace so step on through they might surprise you.”

We all entered the portal
closing it behind me on the other side I saw my room. We were in the portal reception room of my palace, it was a large circled room with a giant glass sky dome I saw the two suns in the sky overhead one blue the other fiery red like Azures hair. The room is the portal hub of the entire palace. There was a bigger one for soldiers and such down in the city. The palace itself is carved into a giant crystal that was flooded red by the sun so most everything is red in color at least the walls they glowed an eerie color of red, it lit up the entire palace inside and out.

“
I am told you can see the palace for a thousand miles in every direction.”
