Demon bodies lay strewn about the grounds of a large castle while other demons roam the grounds looking for any survivors.

Inside the castle the sounds of a battle echo through the halls where more dead demon soldiers lie from both sides of the battle. After several intense moments, the sounds fade.

The General enters the castle and makes his way to the central throne room.

As he passes the library, he hears something in there and draws his sword. He takes a deep breath and jumps into the room.

"Easy there." A man says looking at the books.

"Milord? I thought you'd be in the throne room." The General says.

"I was. There is something in here and I can hear it calling to me." The man says looking through the many books.

Silence.

"I don't hear anything." The General says.

"You hear it too, don't you?" A man says standing in the doorway bleeding profusely from a large gaping wound in his shoulder.

The General draws his sword and is about to attack when the man stops him.

"Stand down, Katashi. Let him speak." The man says.

"You sure, Eiji?" Katashi asks.

"Tell me what you know?" Eiji says.

The wounded man leans against the wall and coughs.

"I have been here for many years as you are well aware. However, my gold and land don't come close to this treasure. (Cough) I have been defeated by someone who shall bring peace to these warring lands and make this realm more like the human realm. (Cough) Take this. (Cough) It will lead you to my ultimate treasure. (Cough) You shall be a great ruler, young Eiji. (Cough) Don't let the power corrupt you like it did to me." The man says and coughs violently. Blood splatters the wall and runs down his chin and drips onto his already blood soaked shirt and armor.

Eiji looks at the key in his hand and back at the now fallen man.

"What do you think he was talking about?" Katashi asks.

"I'm not sure. Rally the men. We are taking everything and starting over back home." Eiji says.

*****************************

Once all the books have been taken out of the library, Eiji looks over every square inch closely. Finally under one of the many bookshelves, Eiji finds the key hole.

He puts the key in and a hidden trap door opens right beneath the former Lord's body.

"Find it?" Katashi asks.

"I believe so." Eiji says looking down the trap door.

An echoing thud is heard as the former Lord's body hits the ground below.

Eiji jumps down and tries to look around through the darkness. Katashi drops down next to him with a couple torches. They cautiously look around as the voice in Eiji's head grows louder.

Eiji drops to his knees while grabbing his head in pain.

"Impossible!" Eiji screams still holding his head.

Footsteps can be heard running all around but no one is there.

Eiji gets to his feet after several minutes and in the distance an ominous presence can be felt.

"What is this?" Katashi asks.

Eiji walks over and looks at a large book resting on a podium.

"This is Osamu's ultimate treasure. This is what has been talking to me and making those footsteps." Eiji says.

"How can a book do all that?" Katashi asks drawing his sword.

"So you finally show your true colors." Eiji says turning to face his General.

"Yes. I have been waiting patiently since we were children for this day." Katashi says.

"Is that so? It wouldn't be because the Old Man chose me instead of you, now would it?" Eiji asks putting his hand on the handle of his battle axe.

*****************************

"Where is Lord Eiji and General Katashi?" One demon asks.

"Listen up!" Eiji says standing in the doorway of the castle, "I want all of you who were following Katashi on his plan to take over after he killed me to gather here." Eiji says as the blood drips down his arm from a large gash on his upper arm.

A few demons step forward.

"That's all? Eight demons? The eight of you were going to take on all of my army? Pathetic." Eiji says snapping his fingers.

The eight demons are quickly attacked by the other demons and killed.

"Everything is packed up and ready to go. Just waiting on your orders, Milord." A Colonel says.

"Excellent. Have the men rest tonight and relax. We shall leave tomorrow." Eiji says.

"As you wish, Milord." The Colonel says bowing.

"You're Daisuke, correct. (The Colonel nods.) Congratulations you are now my new General." Eiji says before collapsing.

*****************************

Three weeks have passed since the battle in the Western Lands and now, Eiji has returned to his rightful lands in the East.

"Lord Eiji, a messenger has arrived from the northern lands." Daisuke says.

"See him in." Eiji replies looking over a very large map of the entire Demon Realm.

"Lord Eiji, news of your victories over Lord Osamu of the West, Lord Watanabe of the East, and Lord Hidetada of the South have reached my Lord Satou. He has sent me to inform you that he will surrender his land to you and step down as Lord of the North. His engineers and work crews will be arriving in the next couple days to help with construction of your new castle as sign of peace." The messenger says.

"And his army?" Eiji asks.

"Currently engaged in battle with the remnants of Lord Hidetada's army." The messenger replies.

"Very well. Tell your Lord that I will wish to see him in person to make this official." Eiji says.

"Of course, Milord." The messenger says before bowing and leaving.

"You think he may be trying something underhanded?" Daisuke asks.

"Yes. According to Koji (This is Koji's grandfather from the current story on Sessy514's site.) and his scouts, there are dozens of small encampments all over this border. And there are more popping up each day. Send word to our allies here, here, here, and here to send their troops disguised as workers to these spots." Eiji says pointing to different spots on the map.

"Consider it done, Milord." Daisuke says bowing.

*****************************

Two months have passed and the castle has been completed.

"All of the small uprisings have been squashed and no new ones have been reported." Daisuke reports.

"Very good. It seems that with Lord Satou's public suicide the resistance has subsided. At least for now." Eiji says.

"Milord, the preparations are almost complete. It is time for you to get ready." A servant says bowing from the doorway.

"I see. Well, Daisuke, guess we should get ready." Eiji says with a smile.

*****************************

Eiji walks onto a large balcony and the roar of the crowd gathered in the streets below is deafening.

"I wish to thank all of you for your support. With Lord Satou's suicide it has become official. I am the first demon to become the sole ruler of the Demon Realm. (Loud cheering and applause.) Now that I am ruler there will be peace and prosperity throughout the land." Eiji shouts to the masses below.

The demons below cheer even louder as fireworks go off.

Eiji heads back to library and stares at the book.

"Still haven't figured out how to open it?" Daisuke asks walking up to him.

"No. I have tried everything I can think of." Eiji replies, "Is there something else?" Eiji asks.

"Nothing that can't wait." Daisuke says and walks off.

He shakes his head and continues down the hall passing a young woman, who is elegantly dressed, along the way.

"He couldn't be?" Daisuke says stopping and watching the woman enter the library.

Moments later the woman comes running out with a bloody knife in her hand and a panicked look on her face.

She runs straight at Daisuke who grabs the knife and her arms, then judo flips her.

Eiji walks out holding his stomach. Blood has stained his shirt and pants.

"Don't kill her." Eiji says.

"Why not? She tried to assassinate you." Daisuke says still holding the woman to the floor.

"No, I may of been a bit to forward and she defended herself. Let her up." Eiji says.

Daisuke reluctantly lets the woman up.

Eiji bows deeply to the woman as he says, "Please forgive my rudeness and forwardness towards you. I am highly skilled in the arts of war but a mere novice when it comes down to seducing a woman. I beg your forgiveness."

Daisuke and the woman both look at him surprised.

"I forgive you. This time. Try that shit again and I won't miss next time." The woman says.

Her manner of speech doesn't match her style of clothes.

"Daisuke, allow me to introduce you to my future bride, Hiromi." Eiji says.

Daisuke's jaw drops.

"When did you have time to meet a woman?" Daisuke asks.

"My father set this up when we were children with a neighboring village." Eiji says.

"Yes, his father was in debt to my family and to pay his debt, he talked my father into an arranged marriage. He also gave us his farm before he passed away not too long ago." Hiromi explains.

"That would explain why you had the other castle torn down and had this one built instead." Daisuke says.

*****************************

A year has passed since Eiji has began his rule over the Demon Realm.

Daisuke stands besides Eiji and the other commanding officers looking out across the battlefield.

"I will admit that this threw me off guard. I wasn't expecting the Island regions of the South to make an attempt to reclaim their land." Eiji says as they walk to the center of the battlefield.

"Lord Eiji. I wish to resolve this peacefully. Simply restore our trade routes and return our land to us and bloodshed shall be avoided." The opposing Demon Lord says.

"Lord Kobayashi, if you would simply lay down your arms then this day shall end peacefully." Eiji replies.

"Your ships are repeatedly attacking and raiding our ships regardless if it is a merchant ship or not." Kobayashi says.

"I know. Lay down your arms and it shall stop immediately." Eiji says.

"Never! We shall fight to the death to defend our ways!" Kobayashi says with emotion.

"I am not interested in destroying your ways. Nothing is changing but your leadership." Eiji says, "If you do draw that blade against me then you shall die. Are you really ready to have all those demons die. I'm sure some of them have families they would like to get back to. Think carefully as you head back to your soldiers." Eiji adds.

After several intense moments a loud cry rises from the army.

"Guess he chose death." Daisuke says.

Eiji waves his hand forward and thousands of arrows shoot into the sky from behind a line of pikemen.

The cloud of arrows is so dense that it shakes the land when they all land.

Eiji hops onto his horse and rides out to the opposing army to survey the damage and check for survivors.

He comes to Kobayashi, who is laying on his side gurgling his own blood.

"All this could of been avoided. You were well out classed anyway." Eiji says and rides back.

"Word from the islands should be in shortly." Daisuke says.

"I'm pretty sure I know what they will find." Eiji says.

A messenger rides up at full gallop and slides to a halt.

"Milord, they are all dead. The entire island nation is dead." The messenger reports.

"Just as I thought. Have the men toss the bodies into the sea and then search the islands for anything of value. They can keep the weapons of the fallen." Eiji says.

"As you wish, Milord." The messenger says as he bows and rides off.

"You knew they killed their families?" Daisuke asks.

"Not for sure. I had a hunch though. It was in Lord Kobayashi's eyes. They were not the eyes of a battle hardened solider but of a peaceful man who did something horrible." Eiji replies and heads back towards the castle.

*****************************

A hundred years pass and Lord Eiji has married, Hiromi. The entire Demon Realm is at peace and prospering wonderfully. There have been no major battles since Lord Kobayashi's. The small village that used to be at the front gates of the castle has now become a large city that surrounds the castle.

"Milord, there is a man outside claiming to be Lady Hiromi's husband." A guard says to Eiji as he strolls through the garden.

"Is that so? Take me to him." Eiji replies and follows the guard.

At the front gates, a man paces back and forth.

"You thieving bastard!" He shouts over the guards holding him back.

"While I don't disagree with that statement, what have I stolen from you?" Eiji asks as he waves the guards off.

The guards release the man and he attacks Eiji.

Eiji dodges the attacks and asks, "What have I stolen from you?"

"The only woman I have ever loved and who has ever loved me back." The man says.

A couple of guards laugh.

"I'm guessing you are referring to Hiromi? How could I of stolen something from you that was already mine to begin with?" Eiji asks and rips the sword from his hands.

Hiromi runs out of the castle and stops.

"ROKURO!! STOP!!!" She shouts and runs down the stairs.

"Hiromi." He says and opens his arms.

She stops at Eiji's side and looks at the sword on the ground and Eiji's bloody hand.

"What is going on?" She asks.

"According to Rokuro, I have stolen you from him. Would you care to clear this matter up?" Eiji says.

"Tell him the truth, Hiromi. We were to be married." Rokuro says.

"Rokuro, Lord Eiji didn't steal me away from you. (Rokuro's heart skips a beat.) He was promised to me when we were just children in order for his father to pay off his debt. If my father hadn't told me then it would of been you who would of stolen me from him." Hiromi says.

Rokuro stands there and his broken heart can be seen clearly in his eyes.

After several intense moments, Rokuro picks his sword up and holds it tightly.

"Lord Eiji, please take good care of Hiromi." Rokuro says holding his feelings in.

"Can I ask you something?" Eiji asks, "It has been a little over a hundred years since Hiromi came to me. Why didn't you come earlier?"

"I am nothing but a simple shopkeeper. I had to learn how to fight before I could even challenge you for her hand." Rokuro replies.

"I understand. That is very noble of you. What is your next move? You can walk out of here and no one will stop you." Eiji says.

"No, I came here with a goal in mind and I will see it through. I want to see if you are worthy of her love." Rokuro says taking his fighting stance.

Eiji takes a guard's sword and waits.

Rokuro runs at him and Eiji simply sidesteps him and stabs him in the heart. Rokuro falls to the ground and struggles for each breath.

"Thank you. A life without her would be worse then death." Rokuro whispers as his breathing stops.

Hiromi runs to his side and places his head on her lap.

"Oh Rokuro, why did you do this? I told you to forget me." Hiromi says and hugs Rokuro tightly.

"Have him buried with the other fallen in the back." Eiji says to a guard.

"Yes Milord." The guard replies.

*****************************

A few more months pass and Daisuke enters the throne room where he kneels before Lord Eiji and Lady Hiromi.

"There is a traveling merchant at the gates that wishes to speak with you. He says he knows a great bit about literature." Daisuke says giving Eiji a look.

"Show him in." Eiji replies intrigued.

Daisuke returns a few minutes later with an elderly man and his cart.

His clothes are old and tattered looking. He looks as if he hasn't seen a bath in a very long time. The beard on his face is ragged and long as well as his hair. His eyes have lost their color and become almost entirely white but upon closer look there is a faint outline of color.

"What is it you wish to speak to me about?" Eiji asks walking up to the old man.

"It is here. Since you have it then that would mean, the other is dead." The Merchant says.

"What are you talking about?" Eiji asks.

"You have not been able to open it have you?" The Merchant asks.

"No, do you know how to open it?" Eiji asks interested.

"Take me to it, please." The Merchant says.

Eiji takes his arm and leads him to the library.

"It has not changed a bit since the last time I saw it." The Merchant says looking at the book.

"Is this wise?" Daisuke whispers.

"If he can get it open then it will be worth it." Eiji whispers back.

"This is amazing. I never thought I would see it again." The merchant says.

"What do you mean?" Eiji asks.

"I'll start at the beginning. About eighteen hundred years ago, I was a mere candle maker in a tiny village in the Human Realm. One night a bright light woke me and I went to investigate. Incidentally, I ended up here. After a few days of roaming around I came across a large mountain. As I was about to climb it, one large eye opened and stared straight at me. Naturally, I was petrified but the demon didn't take me as a threat and spoke to me. After many days of speaking to one another, he told me that a highly powerful spell caster had made his home on his back. Over the next few years, I became the Spell Caster's assistant and since I could write he had me write down everyone of his spells and seals. Once the book was finished, he put a special seal that he never told me about and sealed it up. Inside, this book, contains every single demon spell. The book also has the ability to record the history of this realm om its own accord. However to safeguard it from just anyone reading it, the ink I used is completely invisible. To the average demon, the pages look blank but with the special glasses it becomes visible. Unfortunately, since the book has not chosen you as its rightful owner I cannot give you those glasses. I am truly sorry." The merchant explains.

"I have heard of that demon mountain. It used to roam the northern mountains till a few hundred years ago. I believe it makes up the central mountains." Daisuke says.

"Yes, that's the one. His passing was very sad." The merchant says.

"You said the book hasn't chosen me? What do you mean?" Eiji asks.

"Simple. If the book chose you then it would of opened up but since the book remains sealed, it has chosen you as its keeper till the next owner comes for it." The merchant says.

"And when will the next owner come for it?" Eiji asks.

"That is a mystery. The previous owner was only it's second owner." The merchant replies.

*****************************

Another hundred years pass and the Demon Realm is still at peace.

"Lord Eiji, Lady Hiromi is requesting your presence." Daisuke says rubbing his arm.

"What happened to you?" Eiji asks.

"She had a contraction while I was walking with her. She nearly broke my arm." Daisuke says as Eiji looks his arm over.

"Trying to steal her from me?" Eiji asks with a smile.

"No. My wife would kill me. While you are busy with your royal duties I take her for walks through the castle." Daisuke says.

"I know. Just messing with you. You should go and see your wife or have her come here." Eiji says before running off.

He enters the room and Hiromi lets out a blood curdling scream.

"How is Daisuke's baby doing?" Eiji asks with a laugh.

His eyes cross and he keels over holding his groin.

"Not funny!" Hiromi snaps before she is hit by another contraction.

Eiji lays on the ground holding his groin for several minutes before the pain quits. He gets up to his feet and stands besides his wife.

Hiromi grabs his hand and a crunch sound is heard. Eiji grits his teeth as Hiromi continues to apply pressure to his already broken hand.

"Hiromi, your doing just fine." The doctor says.

Eiji looks down at his wife and kisses her.

"That's odd." The doctor says.

Hiromi's eyes widen and a look of complete surprise and pain come over her face.

"Hiromi?" Eiji asks concerned.

Blood splatters everywhere and runs out of her mouth.

Suddenly the sounds of a baby crying fills the room. Eiji glances down and Hiromi's stomach has been completely ripped open.

"Congratulations, its a boy." The doctor says handing the baby to Eiji.

Eiji immediately gives the child to Hiromi.

"He's perfect." She says.

The doctor shakes his head and Eiji looks back at Hiromi.

On the child's forehead is a bloody kiss.

"Please leave." Eiji says calmly.

The doctor and his aides leave and close the door.

Daisuke is waiting by the door when they come out.

"What's wrong?" Daisuke asks.

Before the doctor could answer an earth shaking roar knocks them to the ground. Several miles away the land shakes and the roar can be heard.

"Something happen?" Daisuke asks standing up.

"Lady Hiromi didn't make it." The doctor says.

Daisuke looks at him shocked.

"Never seen anything like that before. The baby ripped through her stomach." The doctor says.

Later that night, the door opens and Eiji emerges with Hiromi's body wrapped in a sheet and a sleeping baby on her.

"Lord Eiji." Daisuke says.

"Daisuke, can you run things for me for a few days?" Eiji asks in almost a whisper.

"Of course. Do you need anything else?" Daisuke asks.

"No, I will be fine. I just need some time to gather my thoughts." Eiji replies.

"Is the baby alright?" Daisuke asks.

"He's fine. He's sleeping now. Allow me to introduce you to Nara Nakahara." Eiji says before making his way down the long hallway.

In the large garden behind the castle Hiromi is laid to rest beneath a large tombstone.

"Well, it seems you are just like your father." Eiji says to Nara who is sleeping in his arms. "When I was born I did the same thing you did. According to your grandfather it is a sign that you possess great power. We are the first two to possess such power. You see we come from a long line of peasant demons. That is until my father was taken prisoner by the former Lord Watanabe. During his imprisonment he managed to work his charm on one of the female soldiers. She finally got him out and they were married soon after. I came along and she died the same way your mother died. Its our family curse you could say." Eiji explains as little Nara drools in his sleep.

"I guess I'm going to have to get someone to feed you." Eiji says.

*****************************

A few days later, there are a dozen women in the throne room.

"Lord Eiji, The women are here." Daisuke says as Eiji walks out of Nara's room with Nara.

"This should be fun." Eiji says sarcastically before entering the throne room.

The women bow.

"Ladies, you all know why you are here. So lets get this over with. Before we start though, I am not looking for a new wife so you can hold off on the advances." Eiji says.

For nearly three hours, Eiji interviews the women. He makes his selections and shows them to their rooms.

"Now listen up. Nara here is not your typical baby peasant demon. He is going to be difficult to handle. I know I was at his age so be careful." Eiji explains and hands Nara over to one of the women.

"Guess I am up first." The woman says holding Nara.

Nara sneezes in his sleep and the women's long hair sticks straight out from electricity flowing through her.

She hands Nara to the next woman and sits down.

"Like I said. He's different. If any of you care to leave go ahead and leave now." Eiji says.

No one leaves.

Nara coughs a wisp of smoke exits his mouth.

Over the next few days Nara is taken care of by the women. He spends most of his time sleeping peacefully and never cries.

As one of the women is changing his diaper she smiles to herself.

"Soon you will die in your sleep and your father will do the same." She says to herself.

Nara sneezes and a tiny black orb appears directly in front of her face. It suddenly expands and sucks half of the woman's head into it, killing her instantly.

A couple hours later another woman enters the room and screams at the sight.

That evening while Eiji sits in the library, Koji appears next to him.

"What happened this afternoon?" Eiji asks putting his book down.

"It's as you said. He is experiencing erratic power shifts. That woman mentioned something about killing him then you and that's when he sneezed creating that black orb, that killed her. It was as if he knew." Koji explains.

"Thank you. Keep me posted on any new developments." Eiji says.

The next morning smoke billows out of Nara's room. Eiji comes running down the hall and sees Koji holding Nara.

"What happened?" Eiji asks taking Nara from him.

"He sneezed and the entire room burst into flames. All of them were burnt to a crisp before they could even react to the sneeze." Koji explains.

Once the flames were extinguished, Eiji enters the room. Everywhere was blackened by the flames except where Nara's crib was and where Koji was standing in the shadows.

"Apparently he thought of them as threats and you as a friend." Daisuke says to Koji.

"I've never seen a baby with this much excess power that is triggered by a simple sneeze." Koji says.

"Neither have I." Eiji says.

*****************************

The following week Nara learned to crawl and the third group of caretakers spent their time chasing Nara throughout the castle grounds.

"There he is!" One woman says to another as Nara crawls by.

"Is he sleeping?" The other asks.

"Yes. I laid him down for a nap and he started crawling." The first one says and they give chase.

Eiji walks out of a room and the women plow into him.

"Please forgive us!" The women say together as they bow.

"It's alright. I see Nara has been rather adventurous lately." Eiji says picking Nara up who is now awake.

He sets Nara on his feet and walks with Nara. After a only a few unsteady steps Nara starts walking.

"Thank you for all you have done but I think I can take it from here." Eiji says.

"Yes, Milord." One woman says.

"Speak with Daisuke and he will arrange the payment." Eiji says and walks down hallway with his son.

*****************************

Two years pass and Nara has aged faster then most children. He may only be two but looks like a five year old.

"I've noticed that the rat population has dropped greatly." Daisuke says to Eiji as they eat lunch in the dining hall with the soldiers.

"So have I. I wonder if there is a disease going around." Eiji replies.

"SQUEAK!!! SQUEAK!!! CRUNCH!!!"

Eiji and Daisuke look at each other then under the table where Nara is sitting with a rat in his mouth.

"Mystery solved." Daisuke says.

"Look, other rats are coming to investigate." Eiji says as more rats surround Nara.

The next day, Eiji enters his library and sees Nara sitting on the ground with a book in his lap.

"Father." Nara says looking up from the book.

"What are you reading?" Eiji asks.

"Milord, that old man is back." Daisuke says from the doorway.

"Bring him to me." Eiji says.

"Father, this book is incredible." Nara says holding the book up.

Eiji glances at it and recognizes it instantly. He looks up at the podium and sees that it is indeed the book he could not open.

"The true owner has arrived." The man says from the doorway.

"You mean my son?" Eiji asks surprised.

"Yes. The Spell Castor that had me write it told me that someday a demon that will surpass all demons shall be born and will be able to read this book without the glasses." The man explains handing the glasses to Nara.

"Unbelievable." Eiji says.

"Now that the book has chosen it's final owner I am no longer needed. Take good care of that book and it will take good care of you." The man says turning to dust.

Nara looks at the glasses, then at the book.

*****************************

Another year passes and Nara hasn't grown physically just mentally. He has spent most of the past year reading the books in the library. He is now three years old.

"Nara, your father would like to see you in the throne room." Daisuke says from the doorway to the library.

"Now?" Nara asks.

"Yeah. Put the book down and lets go." Daisuke says.

"Ah, Nara. I think its time to start training your body." Eiji says.

"What do you mean?" Nara asks.

"Well, for the past year you have read practically every book in the library at least twice. Now, I think its time for you to build up your physical strength. This will come in handy for battles when your opponent can't be reasoned with." Eiji says.

"What about my reading?" Nara asks.

"You can do that after your training for the day." Eiji says.

"If I must." Nara says unenthusiastically.

*****************************

For two whole years, Nara trained with his father, Daisuke, all of the guards, and anyone else capable of teaching him a fighting style. With his never ending thirst for knowledge he picks things up quickly.

By his fifth birthday he is quite capable of holding his own against most of the guards but still lacks in the strength area due to his young age.

*****************************

"Nara, come with me." Eiji says holding his hand out.

Nara grabs it and walks out to the stables with Eiji.

"Daisuke, you're in charge till I return." Eiji says as they trot by.

"What? How long will you be gone?" Daisuke asks.

"Not sure. I am taking Nara out to show him the outside world. So, a year or so." Eiji replies.

"WHAT?!?" Daisuke replies.

The front gates open and a woman is standing there. Daisuke looks at her for a second and she runs at him. She hugs him tightly.

"Thought you may get a little lonely." Eiji says as he and Nara ride out of the castle gates.
