Hell

The huge Demon king sighed as he waited for the council meeting to start. The meetings were also very boring to start with, if he could he would have slept but as it was he stood on his own the fire covering his body crackled gently as he looked around. It didn't take long for the meeting to finally start. He pay'd little attention until the voice came from the chalice he chuckled as the others in the room froze, the voice held no power over him. He was glad however when the voice mentioned him, giving him free reign to attack the earth without having to take the blame, perfect just as he had planned. He tilted his head already concocting his plan of attack.

He tilted his head at hearing of a rebellion against the Devil. He couldn't help but remember his brother who had fallen going against the Devil, a simple yet effective plan that one he mused silently to himself. He shifted the weight off of one foot as he felt his leg starting to go numb, he had been standing there for longer than he had realised.

The Demon King twisted his head as the meeting ended and stalked off, leaving foot prints of flame where he trod and made his way back to his castle. As soon as he arrived the great gates unsealed from the inside and swung inwards silently until it clanged loudly against the walls. The Demon King made his way to his throne and settled down in his throne and looked around at the small horde of Demons gathered in his throne room, a good portion of them were equipped with halberds. The Demon King shifted in his throne and roared. "Ansgar show yourself."

In a few moments a large hunched Demon walked into the throne room. It was hunched over slightly with large muscles, it was about 2 storeys tall with 3 foot ram horns jutting from its skull, running down the back of its jet black head was a mane of fire like hair. The large beast had a swagger of one who was powerful enough to be used but not to be expended at a whim. The large Demon knelt at the feet of Brenhin with its right arm under its gut, its left behind its back, its horns touched the floor. The general sign of respect to a superior in the Land of Brimstone. "What do you command Great one?" The Demon's voice was cool and calm. "Our lord has given us the freedom to attack the fools at the WDL without punishment, as one of my lesser warlords I am giving you the chance to make yourself more powerful. Take your war band and be prepared to attack. Do not fail me." The last words were clearly a threat.

The Demon looked surprised at the sudden orders but quickly rose. "It will be done." It jogged out of the room deeper into the castle, there were cheers and howls of joy from what could be presumed as Ansgar's war band. Soon the air would be filled with the sound of war drums and forges, whooping and sparing. The first of the Demons were going to war in far too long. Amid it all Brenhin smiled to himself.

Deep in the castle of Brenhin came chanting and the sound of marching. Before long a line of Demons marched out of the giant gates with Ansgar at their head. The large Demon held a gigantic two handed bearded axe, which rested on his shoulder. The Demons were all armoured in pitch black plate armour unlike anything forged by man. It seemed to suck in the light from around them, each of the Demons had a fearsome helmet, elongated and with jagged spikes along the jaws or mouths. Behind Ansgar came Fire Demons, they too had helmets on but they had a small hole on the top of their helmet which allowed their head-flames to escape and hang out like a plume, they held large glaives in their hands, the blade of which was set ablaze. Next came the ordinary Demons. They wielded curved scimitars and long shields that ran more along the arm than down the body. In total there were 4 dozen Demon warriors in the column with more gathering every minute from side passage ways.

The Demons arrayed themselves outside in a block formation once they were in the plane. Ansgar turned to the Demons and looked along the line. "Demons of the mighty King Brenhin, today we go to war." This was received with a large cheer. "Today, the weakling Humans will know to fear the fire once more." Another cheer. "Today. They will die in their droves." The cheer was louder than the others. From inside the castle a robed Fire Demon shuffled outside with a large orb clasped in its hands and moved out in front of the small army. He released the orb which floated in the air the Demon then let a jet of fire forwards onto the orb, as soon as the fire reached the orb it exploded violently taking the Demon with it.

In its place stood a huge shimmering Hell-gate. Ansgar turned and swung his axe into his grasp, a blue flame suddenly light up around around the blade as the army marched forwards as one. The few steps took them into the gate and they vanished from the Land of Brimstone.

Outside the academy two WDL guards stood looking out into the night, hardly paying attention to their job. Both were smoking and joking to each other when one decided it was a good time to go the the bushes to relieve himself. Whilst at the bushes the man heard a lang Boom but pay'd it little attention. when he felt a sudden heat on his back he turned his head. The last thing he saw was a blazing blue axe head before it clove his head from his neck. Ansgar chuckled as as the man's lifeless body fell to the ground. The attack on earth had began, and it had claimed its first casualty's.
