170 The Demons Messiah (1/2)

Draig worked tirelessly for months writing and experimenting with his runes and different formulae in conjunction with the materials laid before him, it was during this time that the amount of demons gathering under the banner of the ancient Demon had grown drastically. The reason for this being the rumor of a messiah being born among demons had lead them all to the very same Headquarters Draig resided in.

'Mother is so gifted, I hope I can draw like her' came the silent thought from the egg as Draig continued his work.

The Feratu however stopped his work and looked around the room suspiciously.

'There it is again. . .' thought Draig as he scanned his eyes over every inch of the room.

He had been hearing a child like voice over the past few weeks as the pulsing from the egg grew stronger, this stronger pulse was a direct result of the demons no longer being able to absorb its energy to strengthen themselves.

The Vampire had still been unable to pin point the source of the voice but he had his theories on the matter as his eyes fixed to the egg which seemed to pulse happily upon being gazed upon by the Feratu.

Shaking his head and turning his eyes back to the odd gem in his hands Draig dotted the gem with a small brush then watched as it began to glow ominously for a few moments before it died down to reveal a devilishly radiant gem that seemed to gleam with evil intent.

”Time to begin the testing phase” chuckled Draig as he clutched the gem within his fist and walked towards the curtain.

Though it was to his surprise that he found that ancient Demon sitting at the entrance of his 'office', seeing the Feratu come out he hopped to his feet quickly and greeted Draig.

”Hello senior, I hope that your research has been going well” bowed the Ancient Demon causing Draig to smirk internally.

”It has gone surprisingly well actually” chuckled Draig causing the ancient Demon's eyes to light up in eagerness.

”Then does that mean it is time?” asked the Ancient Demon with bated breath.

”Indeed, now bring in some of those new prospects” stated Draig causing the ancient Demon to look at him oddly.

”Senior wouldn't it be more appropriate to bless those brothers who have more seniority among us first rather than those who have hardly proven themselves” questioned the Ancient Demon causing Draig to turn a quirked brow towards the Demon.

”Oh? I thought it would be more appropriate to see the results on a less important figure rather than sacrificing those brothers with seniority” stated Draig causing the ancient Demon to widen his eyes in surprise, it seemed that falling into the roll of a junior to someone had caused the demon to become less sure of himself as it almost seemed Draig had a plan for everything reaffirming the role of senior in the ancient demon's mind.

”Of course senior, I will go and fetch someone immediately” responded the ancient Demon as he almost seemed to disappear in a swirl of wind.
