We walked down the long and dark hallway in the basement. It was silent, the only thing you could hear was my armor while I move. You could see a little light in the distance. When we arrived we saw an old door. On both sides of the door was a lamp. I kept my distance to the door since Malice told me to do so. "Rey do you think you can open the door?" Rey went to the door and jumped on the handle. She pulled it down and suddenly golden lightnings came from the door. I took a few steps back and the door opened. "You wait here, I go in first."

When I entered the room I saw many portraits on both sides. The people on it looked like they are the previous kings and queens of Luciah. I took a quick look on the portraits and one of them caught my interest. The date on the frame was the newest. It was the last king of Luciah, Siron S. Luciah. But the fact that it was the last king wasn't why it caught my interest. The person on this portrait looked exactly like me in my past life.

"Shio are you alright?" Rey jumped on my shoulder to take a look on the portrait.

"Oh yeah. Sorry is was just curious." I went to to end of the room. There was a sword inside of a stone. It had a shiny silver blade and a hilt made ot of pure gold with a blue saphire in it. On the wall behind the sword was a big cross. "What is this sword?"

"I can sense a divine aura around it. But it feels strange like... it's cursed." Rey jumped of my shoulder and went back to the door. "I think we should leave, this is dangerous."

"But maybe this sword is our ticket out of here." I reached out to grab the sword and when my hand touched it the scenery suddenly changed. It was a dark place. Rey, the room and the sword disappeared and instead of the sword my hand was touching a white sphere. I wasn't able to take my hand of the sphere when all of a sudden something appeared behind it. It was a huge eye. It slowly opened and looked straight at me. It looked like something nonhuman more like the eye of a reptile. 

"A lost soul? What are you doing here?" A voice so deep that I felt an immense pressure on my whole body began to speak. "You shouldn't be here. Get lost." When the voice finished speaking I was back. I was standing before the stone and held the sword in my hand.

"Are you alright?" I heared the soft voice of a woman. When I heared it all the pressure from before faded. "You were feeling great fear back there right?"

"Ah yes. Ehm...who are you?"

"I'm my master's loyal servant and I go by the name Hellen." Loyal servant? Now that I think about it, were is this voice even coming from? Is it in my head?

"This master, who is this?"

"That's you master. You are the first person who was able the pull me out of the stone." Pull her out of the stone? Don't tell me she's the sword. "I was sealed inside of this sword as a kind of punishment. My only reason to live is to serve the person who pulls me out of the stone."

"Punishment? For what?" 

"In the past I commited an unforgivable crime. This was 700 years ago. But it seems like I'm beginning to fall." Her voice became quieter and sounded a bit sad.

700 years? That's more than double the time Rey spent here. Wait. Where is Rey? "Hey Hellen have you seen a little fox spirit?"

"Forgive me master. I haven't seen anyone besides you for the last 700 years." 

"Ah no need to apologize. We just have to look for her."

"Shio! Are you alright? I'm sorry for some reason I was back on the first floor when I woke up." Rey ran through the hallway and jumped on me when she arrived at the room. "I'm so sorry. You aren't hurt anywhere?"

"No I'm ok thanks for your concern." Rey jumped off my face and left the room.

"The barrier disappeared let's go outside." What? The barrier really disappeared?

"Master I can sense demonic mana watch out." Demonic mana? Maybe it's Malice. When we left the basement no one was there. "Master what happened to this place. Why does the castle look like a ruin?" I told Hellen what I knew about Luciah. "That's a shame. It was such a beautiful country."

We left the castle and walked to the forest in the distance. This is it! The moment my real adventure begins! 

"The barrier really disappeared. But to think that there's an angel inside of the sword." I grinted my teeth. "But this angel was not normal. But it didn't feel like a fallen angel. Maybe it just began to fall." I jumped off the tree I sat on and opened a gate. "Finally I can go back."

When I came out of the gate I stood in front of the royal palace. "Let me in. I have a report for his majesty." The guards bowed and the front gate opened. I entered the palace and while I walked down the hallway some annoying bug walked in my direction. It was a fat bug. It was wearing a white suit and nearly lost all its hair.

"If that's not Miss Malice. You were away for quiet a while. We all thought this lowly undead killed you Ohohohoho!" 

Tsk, this guy! "It's good to see you're doing well Marquess Halton. There was a troublesome barrier I had to deal with. But now I'm back to report to his majesty."

"That's good to hear. And? How was the undead king?"

"Forgive me but I can't tell you right now. His majesy is the first person who has to hear it."

"You're right. Forgive my rudeness." This guy...! What's with this disgusting smile?

"Well, I'll be on my way then." I can't stand this guy. Why was he even here?

I walked through the big hallway. The walls we blood red with golden warpings. When I arrived at the door to the throne room the king was already inside. "The guards already reported about me? As expected." I entered the room and he sat on the big golden throne. Our king the one who rules over the demon continent. The king of Demona, the Demon King.
