Demon; an evil spirit or devil, especially one thought to possess a person or act as a tormentor in hell.
Let us think about one specific demon who was made in the underworld to be fierce and terrifying. This demon was made, in human terms, female. Beautiful, perfect, and mischievous. Unlike other demons, she was a mystery.
A young demon only a few centuries old, and yet hell was miserable around her presence. Was she the true daughter of Lucifer, the king of the underworld? Or was she his future betrothed? Created only for his entertainment.
However the demon that Lucifer had created was too powerful. She, unlike all the weaker ones, was uncontrollable.
Her hair as black as the most tainted of hearts and long enough to dust across the hell’s burning ground, flowed down her shoulders like silk. Her fiery scarlet eyes pierced through ones very soul. Her skin was as pale as a ghost’s, and as soft as the most expensive of cottons. Small and developing horns grew on the top of her head, acting as a crown. As of now, she bore the appearance of a child.
Surrounded by flames that burned forever was the demon herself, named Victoria. Sitting on the obsidian surface with her fingers dipped inside a small pool of magma, a deformed and hideous demon stood behind her.
With a raspy voice it spoke, “Shodffdkk voorummmmm shhuuu…” such a disgusting creature did not have the ability to perform proper speech, but the little demon girl would understand. He was whispering death threats.
Charcoal hair covered her eyes from meeting the lower demon’s gaze, “Tch.” With her petite voice, that one syllable caused the other to gain a chill down its spine.
This did not prevent the horrid creature from trying to insert his dominance, and reached out to touch her shoulder. A mistake that he would not even have the time to regret.
In half a second the young demon had turned around to release a roar so strong that it disintegrated the fool. Where the being once stood was now a foggy mess of black liquid.
Snarling like a rabid animal, the little girl growled and glared daggers into thin air, “D-don’t touch me!” her sharp teeth dripped with venom, and the ground beneath her started to melt.
Out of nowhere, a stronger and much more powerful demon appeared, giving her a slap to the face that sent her flying. This demon was not like the one that she had obliterated. Its black head had no face and no expression to show, but with a soft voice said, “Why do you keep on killing our demons even when we told you not to?”
She did not give a reply and instead ran towards him with a burst of speed too fast for normal human eyes to see. In a fit of rage she started hitting him with attacks that he was not good enough to block. In an attempt to escape, he gave her a kick that did not faze her in order to buy time.
Jumping back in order to gain distance, the older demon started to recite a spell, “In quacumque die invocavero te consumer Flammis.” A large ball of blue flames erupted from his hands and went straight for her.
When the flames found their prey they started to consume and burn her flesh. The young demon screamed in pain for they were hotter than any kind of lava she had touched. When the flames died down she knelt in front of the other as she started to regenerate.
After she managed to heal most of her major injuries, her eyes switched from the burnt ground towards the faceless demon. Said demon was surprised at the amount of rage in her eyes, and in panic summoned the chains that bound her.
Victoria made no sounds as she was dragged down the tunnels of the underworld towards the throne of Lucifer himself. Scrapes and torn skin would appear on her every time she was forced to go over the uneven rocks and spikes that littered everywhere, but healed in no time.
When they arrived in front of the king of hell, he said in a husky and enticing voice, “My dearest Victoria, why must you go around killing demons as you please?”
At the sight of her creator she let out a high pitched scream and broke her chains, to which the faceless demon saw with shock and fear. Victoria ran towards Lucifer and jumped into his awaiting arms.
He stroked her dark hair and smirked, “You’re such a big girl now… able to break your chains.”
“My lord… that young demon is growing too strong.”
Without averting his eyes, Lucifer said, “I know that… a filthy demon such as yourself does not need to tell me so.” He held her chin and brought her up to look straight into her ruby eyes, “Will you do anything for me, Scarlet?” Nodding slowly, she tilted her head in suspicion. “Good.”
Pain suddenly filled her senses when Lucifer stabbed her with his sharp claws, and a late scream filled the royal room. He did not stop with only one, and continued blow after blow not giving her time to heal.
Ignoring her screams, Lucifer said with a sadistic grin, “Be a good girl, my dear…” with a chuckle he dug out her organs until he found what he desired; her life force. Without a single piece of hesitation the lord of Hell ripped it out of her. Her body stopped moving, and turned into ashes.
The faceless demon looked at his lord’s blood stained hands and asked, “What are you going to do with her?”
“Making her was no mistake for sure, but if she continues to develop without any self-control it will not end well for us.” He turned to his other creation and handed him the misty red orb, “Take this and feed it to a human baby. Let’s see how she acts when she’s in between Heaven and Hell.”
Lucifer dropped the orb onto the faceless demon’s palms and brought forth a crack above the throne that led straight to the human realm. With a strong leap, the demon went through and the crevice was once again sealed.
A grinning Demon Lord sat on his throne with shining eyes, “I will be watching you, my dearest.”
The faceless demon arrived in a country that the humans called ‘Japan’, and looked for the nearest newborn baby. It had to be female otherwise the soul would not be able to match. He used his senses to hear a newborns cry, and heard one a few miles away.
He cloaked himself with his power and went for the baby’s voice. It was in a hospital where a mother was holding her child with happiness and love in her eyes.
Walking towards the young female infant, the demon placed the orb on top of the baby. He watched as it was absorbed into the child. It was moments later when he saw what the humans could not; Victoria menacingly destroying the baby’s very soul and taking over its body.
Once again the baby moved, but it did not make a single cry. Its mother did not find it strange, and instead was relieved that she was alive.
The woman’s husband smiled happily with his arm around his wife’s shoulders, “What should we name her?”
The faceless demon whispered into her ears, “Victoria.”
Her eyes went blank for a second and went back to being her motherly shine, “Victoria…”
Bringing his newborn daughter into his arms, the father grinned and said, “Victoria, eh? Welcome to this world, my little angel.”
Vanishing like smoke, the faceless demon thought amused about the male human’s words; little angel, and thought about what would become of her.
What will she encounter in the human realm? What things will she experience? What knowledge will she learn? Victoria. Victoria the Demon had turned into Victoria the girl.
