Description
We arrived.
We, the pilgrims who reached the promised land, the great city of Pandaemonium. The sound of our tiny hooves quickly died on the stony road of the enormous city.
My brother’s face turned to the the walls of the old buildings, observing wide-eyedly the cumbersome windows. I was watching something else, the adult demons around us. They glanced towards us, then carried on their way.
We didn't know where to go yet, so we stopped by a fountain to rest our sore limbs. Only few minutes later an adult incubus stopped by and offered his help to escort us to the Great Palace of Lucifer. He may looked like us, but somehow I just couldn't put my faith in him... We can’t trust anyone.
This feeling hasn’t changed a bit in me when we passed throughe gates of the Palace...
"Beauteous and redoubtable were the morning star, which became one of the darkest night. O Lord Lucifer who fell from among the angels and arose from decay’s ground."
The adult incubus who led us trought the hallway stopped before the throne room to exchange some words with somebody else. His ashen hair and trustworthy face confused me for a minute. The young looking High Demon was one of The Seven Prince, but strange to say, I didn’t feel any fear near him.
Not like when we entered to the Throne Room. Seven pair of eyes directed towards us. Suddenly I felt myself too fragile and inconsiderable.
We bowed down as deep as we could. I heard them talking about us. Detractive chuckle, resigning sigh, annoyed growl and low whispering filled the air. The walls echoed every word like thunder.
The strong words came from the Princes themselves. When I straightened up again I took a minute to observe them.
I've seen various expressions on their faces. Most of them ignored us by then and returned to discuss their cases of greater importance. Although one’s face burned into my mind.
Icy blue eyes kept narrow, like of a huge feline. His sarcastic smile promised insincere words. While I was watching him, he seemed to carefully examine the tiny figure of my brother... I felt an unplesant chill crawling up my spine.
This demon is worse than any monster I've ever met.
But then a different voice broke through the air. Lord of Hell’s voice was different. His sublime words lifted our soul from the muddy pit, and woke our hope and faith in our life. From this day we were somebody. From this day we had a name. Entry from the journail of Kunio
