Congratulations

General Duncan Redcliff one of the 6 Hellish Demon generals has just had a son, so he did what most fathers do, he threw a massive party. He invited all of his clansmen and military buddies. His Invitation rocked the capital and many celebrated the birth of a new noble demon, who after all was the heir to the second demon general.

The Redcliff Manor this night was bustling with the traffick of many soldiers, and nobility arriving at the door of the main hall which was locked and guarded by two two high ranking demon captains. The group of demons became larger as more arrived in carriages, while the better off arrived on their war dragons or other different mounts they owned.

many of the various demons chatted amongst themselves as they waited for the higher ranking demons to arrive, then the party would begin. Luckily they didn't have to wait long, Within a second all the chatter ceased, and instead was replaced by an eery silence as many looked to the skies!

There in the dark night sky was a faint purple translucent Dragon, easily 200 feet long with wing spans nearly double. This beast was a fierce one indeed as it inspired a sense of fear into every demon around, but also a sense of pride. The Dragon Roared and the Ground shook beneath its might. Every beast under the Emperor realm, within a hundred miles, uncontrollably bowed themselves towards this powerfull beast. As the Dragon landed, many made way for it as it was enormous and took up a large space on it's own. When the dragon landed it looked back to the Demon sitting on a very expensive saddle surrounded by an entourage of Powerfull figures.

The Doors to the Main hall blasted open and a Proud Demon clad in Noble attire of house Redcliff Stepped out and spoke to the figure on the Dragon.

" My King it is an honor to have you Arrive tonight. "

Many in the crowd had already realized this was the king, so they had bowed, but the ones that didn't immediately bowed after hearing Redcliff address him as so.

The Dragon lowered its wing like a red carpet leading straight to the hall entrance infront of Duncan. As the King Walked down the wing towards duncan, he laughed and spoke heartily.

" Brother Duncan there is no need for such formalities tonight, we are all here to celebrate you and your wifes blessing this night. "

The woman standing to the left of the king spoke up as well.

" Duncan Quickly bring your son here so your Elder sister here can see him! "

Duncan Smiled as he replied

" Elder sister I'm glad you Wish to see my son so much but you must come in if you wish to see him. "

The man to the right of the king Laughed.

" Elder sister do not be impatient, we will get to see elder brothers son once we enter the party. "

Finally the man behind the king spoke up as the group arrived next to Duncan.

" Elder brother you're timing is amazing my youngest was born just last year, our kids can be friends and hang out together like we did in our youth! "

Duncan wrapped his arm around his shoulder and walked in with him laughing and chatting all the way.

This happy group of demons was none other than The demon King Gibraltar of house Spectral, The 1st Hellish general,Cloey of house Phoenix.The 3rd Hellish general, Victer of house Bluerock and the youngest of the group the 6th Hellish general, Barkov of house GreenHill.

" My king where are my 4th brother and 5th sister? "

" They are on a mission for the kingdom, they cannot make it tonight my friend. "

As they entered the hall The rest of the crowd began to move in as well, duncan brought King Gibraltar and the others to the royal tables where his wife Demoness Lyandra sat holding a small child with light grey skin and beautiful scarlet eyes.

" Honey welcome our guests "

Duncan spoke and lyandra looked up from the child and stood up slowly and gave a slight bow to the king and the rest.

" Welcome to our home Big brother "

Lyandra said as she handed scarlet to duncan and hugged Gibraltar tightly.

Lyandra is Gibraltars Little sister while the demon generals refer to each other as brother/sister out of respect.

Duncan walked over and handed scarlet to Gibraltar.

" Its about time you see you're nephew "

" Hes so cute and his eyes, there crimson! what a beauty "

cloey yelled happily once she saw scarlets face.

" you're quite a lucky man to have such a child young duncan. "

" Thank you elder sister, I am truly blessed. "

Gibraltar looked at the Scarlet eyes and his eyes lit up as he spoke.

" Th-The-these are the Legendary scarlet eyes told of in the secret Text!! "

Gibraltar spoke loudly but it was only heard by the generals around him.

" Brother what do you mean, what are the legendary scarlet eyes? "

Lyandra said confused and worried.

Duncan also became confused, only the king was allowed to view the sacred text, so he knew nothing about these so called Legendary scarlet eyes.

The king quickly collected himself and managed to speak.

" The Legendary Scarlet eyes are said to be so powerful the user can see through almost any illusion, but what truly makes the scarlet eyes so powerfull is when one reaches higher realms. its said that they gain the ability to see through walls, puzzles and even minds. "

Everyone let out a surprised breath and were too amazed to even speak.

" Elder brother you are indeed a lucky man, you must have been blessed by the God of Darkness Inar himself "

Barkov said cheerfully as he chugged a glass of wine.

" What junior brother Barkov said seems to indeed be the case elder brother, you have mad luck, and I'm mad jealous. "

Victer patted duncan on the back laughing and drinking.

" Ah I hope when I find a wife and have a son I'll be as lucky as you! "

They partied all night and discussed many things but the biggest topic remained the scarlet eyes.
