Chapter 40: The Game

* * *

“Come now, little brother.” The demon prince, Beelzebub, grinned. “It’s just a game, and for you, it is surely much better than the alternative. Though I am sure my minions would love to spill your blood on the floor.”

Seraph knew the demon prince was correct. All around him, the horde of demons leered, ready and waiting for him to make a move against them. He could feel their bloodlust in the air, and he knew in this place, he would not be able to win a fight, not alone.

It was a mistake to come alone, he admitted to himself, though he doubted any of the others would have been able to help him survive a battle in the demon prince’s throne room.

“What are the rules?” asked Seraph as he looked ahead at the grinning demon.

The demon answered, leaning forward in his throne, his smile widening to show rows and rows of razor-sharp pointed teeth. He motioned for two of his minions to bring out a chair.

“Sit,” commanded the demon prince, and Seraph compiled without hesitation, showing neither fear nor false bravado. Seraph simply did as he was asked. He would not allow any of these demons to see weakness and uncertainty from him.

With a flick of his wrist, the demon prince had more of his minions bring out additional supplies. A small table and an eerie glowing cage that appeared to have human spirits trapped inside of it, and though Seraph could see the spirits strained, the cage did not bulge.

“The rules of the game are simple,” explained the demon prince. “This is a Soul Cage, and inside it are a few of the human souls that I have brokered or have had sold to me.”

“What use do you have for souls?” asked Seraph curiously. Being in the dungeon meant the demon prince would have an endless supply of humans to maim and torment.

“I don’t torture them if that’s what you were thinking,” replied the demon prince slyly, and he opened the cage and reached in with his bestial hands and grabbed one of the lingering souls.
