052- The Underworld
LUCIEN
Prince of Darkness, ruler of Kalmerus, one of the four Underworld regions.
“How long are you going to stand there and watch that fiber, father?” For the nth time today, Lucius asked as he slumped his body on my throne, making me hiss before I motioned for him to get off my seat.
He laughed as he stood up before walking to where I stood, staring at the fiber in front of
It used to hold the locations of my sons who
were often traveling back and forth to different realms at my disposal, but now I had allotted 50% of it just to track Lucija.
But my only daughter was smart enough not to use her fire — the only way I would be
able to pinpoint her exact location.
Almost a fortnight ago, something glowed
on the fiber, but before I could see where it was, it was already gone. She accidentally summoned fire, I assumed, and she’s been controlling herself so as not to use it again.
“So nothing new yet?” Lucius asked again.
“If there is, you and I will not be here,” I
answered in a cold tone.
“I can’t believe she’s not using fire accidentally. That girl couldn’t control her hands!” He said it with an irritated
expression.
I kept quiet, my hand reaching for my chin as I rubbed it while thinking. It was the reason I never asked Gargon to teach her how to control fire. I knew she never wanted
to be here, and it was only a matter of time before she would try to escape. And I wasn’t
wrong, but what I wasn’t expecting was that I would not be able to find her right away.
I underestimated how smart my daughter
was, but somehow it made me proud. Though I knew she could never outsmart me
for a long time, I was already losing my patience.
Two years and there were still no signs of
her.
And it wasn’t helping that my access to earth was limited due to the pact Hades, the God of the Underworld, agreed upon with all the other realms. I had no power to just barge in and destroy everything until they surrendered my daughter to me like I
wanted to.
The humans were worth nothing. I could easily kill them with a flick of my fingers, but I didn’t want Hades’ wrath to befall me – not when I spent my whole life trying to prove that once he relinquished his throne, I would be the one worthy of it.
If Lucija were not important, I wouldn’t be bothered with what she would do with her life, like I had stopped caring for all the
other spawns I had created over a span of centuries. Most of them had their own lives;
some of them were dead, and some decided to abandon the demon world, but I couldn’t
care less.
But Lucija was different. She was my only daughter and my sure ticket to winning the favor of the other gods and princes of this realm. All of my sons were useless; they could only sweet talk she-demons but not the male demons. But my Lucija could do it
for both without even trying hard.
And with the underworld swarming with
males, and she-demons being a rarity,
having Lucija would be an advantage.
She had the allure of an underworld goddess.
And I knew that once I transformed her into
a full demon, she would be sought after by
the princes of the underworld. Or even by the
gods. 1
