Meeting of Demons Part 2
The demon lords watched Draken for a while from a magical images projected in the middleof the room, from his fight with Liliana, to the story of the Sainte family, all the way to Draken's offer of the throne. Sivak was impressed with Draken's wrath in the battle, Dalroth beamed proudly by seeing his younger brother offered the crown. Iphissha was very interested in the story of Emilia, Daemira lazily watched the her baby brothef. Vilinotha gave a cruel smile, she finally had a sibling to rival with, it made her excited. However Vohrlarin scowled, "He's too soft, he spared two very dangerous enemies, and he is letting the one who is related to the same man who ruined his life. He must have gotten it from the weakling of a mother."
There was no warning as a lightning bolt struck the demon, sending him back in his chair, smoking. Soularous turned to look at his eldest son, who shot the bolt. Dalroth sneered, "Shut your mouth, you spoiled brat. You will watch your mouth when speaking about our baby brother."
The room became silent, surprised by Dalroth's outburst. Vohrlarin bruahes his chest off, "I don't get the deal. What's so special about this brat? I understand he's your favorite, but he's weak, pathetic, and most importantly, useless."
The others glared at him, the silence broke by the sound of Soularous laughing.
Vohrlarin glared, "What's so funny father?"
Soularous abruptly stopped laughing, "Your mother clearly spoiled you. I don't pick favorites. Draken however is more like me than any of you. I thought by having your mother's raise you, you would have to suffer like I did. I had no mother, I was alone as a child. Only Aldous was there for me."
"Oh right, The King in Scarlet always saving his little brother, just like how he had to save you from a puny mage."
Iphissha scoffed at her brother, "Aldous will stick your head in the infernal river if you call him that."
"Like I care, how about this, all of you are too incompetent to do anything, so you might as well give md your power now and I can do-"
Soularous appeared before his selfish son and snatched him by the throat, a ripple of power boomed in the room. Soularous's eyes had become flaming pits of blue fire.
"Listen here, Vohrlarin. You are nothing to me, just a spoiled child. Grow up, there is more than what you desire. I forget that your mother shoved that silver spoon way up your ass, so as your father let me make myself clear, you are part of something bigger, quit acting as if you are the only one who matters. Do you understand me?"
He shook his head in fear, "Yes father, I understand.." Soularous let go of his son, his eyes becoming normal again. He sat back down on the throne, "This meeting is over. All of you may leave, now."
All of the demon lords disappeared into a cloud of smoke leaving Soularous alone, "Aldous. I'm not retaining myself anymore. Summon me when you want. I'm ready."
He waited in his throne for the time he would return to the mortal realm.
