The Devilless - Kaizer of the Black Sun Throne
Ayarat could rule from here now causing troubles for both the gods and mortals. Though I would have to figure out how to get the realms of mortals and the fourth realm connected.
I was thinking 'dungeons'
Still, it would be easy for Ayarat to throw a wrench in my children's affairs. But against all five I doubted she would come out alive. Haero himself was a nasty piece of work.
Defeating them while hard was not impossible.
But that would not be easy unless I helped her in a way. To do that I had to change everything about her. While she was now disconnected from the nether and also in a life trade with me I couldn't be lax or I could suffer some repercussions.
While her fear of me may be what led her to offer the trade, it too could very well lead to her making a mistake that could be a deterrent to me.
Now I had forged a realm for her and her soon-to-be kind. 'Thanks for the push Cole ' I mentally sassed at the idea of having such evils in my universe. Still, I knew the boy was right.
Peace bred complacency and once the others came with war I would fall simply because I wasn't ready. I had to make sure all were ready.
"Just have to connect her to the realm as its sole ruler." With that idea, I brought up the system.
The administrator prompt appeared once more and I glanced over it.
[PRIME] -NEW!!
At its peak but not its most powerful. These administrators wield their power like weapons and their bodies like puppeteers.

"Since I already have one, it is best to use. Ascend!"
I watched as a mental template formed in my head with Ayarat's design shown by a hologram at the side. First I gave her horns the bit of finesse they needed. White hair went down to her hips and a purple crown of flames was on her horns. Curvy body with scales on her skin and two wings like the devilless she was.
Bone spikes jutted out of her arms and up her elbow while the normal claws were visible on her fingers. Four fangs gleamed if she smiled.
Skin an alabaster white and eyes reptilian and red. With the center purple while the cornea remained white. Her four tails became longer and conjoined into two thickening them.

I cheated. I know. But I had to make her powerful enough. It was a fact those five would descend here to deal with her the moment I revealed the realm. If she wanted to live then she needed to be strong to face all five of them.
I shook my head before I agreed to the template effects.
Without pausing to see how it would go I decided to make the last card she needed. My eyes traveled to the coliseum where at its very edge towered the monument. Yet compared to the description in her template it bore no connection to the black sun.
"That's about to change."

AYARAT'S POV
Cold. It was the first I had ever felt the chill of cold since my existence. That was what I felt next as the white light dimmed. Soon the cold became a comforting embrace to the hot air.
I opened my eyes and I was not in my winter realm anymore. Can't say I'm surprised. The new place was red and dark with purple trees and red grasses. There were mountains and hills all around me and a...
"Is that sun black?"
"Indeed it is". the dreaded voice seeped into my hearing making my heart beat faster and my blood chill.
" Welcome to your new home Ayarat'
"My... new home?. What is this place?"
"I made it for you dear what do you think. Interesting isn't it? Do check out your template, more surprises are waiting for you".
I stared at everything looking for the voice yet not finding it. Looking down I finally realized why I was able to see so much of the land I was on. I was situated atop a throne that rested on a tower. It was a lean structure that looked like it would take a single gust of wind to blow it over.
Yet it was also grand in its way. I could feel the heavy aura of energy that wafted from the tower and the throne I sat on.
" What is this place?" I was very confused about everything.
"Look at your template dear". The voice announced once more.

Still lost in the template that told me that things about myself had changed I didn't see the female standing right by my side while patting down my hair.
My white hair. I took myself in. I was different, beautiful. If I had to say. I looked weak. Yet I knew that I was anything but weak.
" Who are you, ?" I blurted. The hand stroking my hair paused for a moment before continuing.
"Hildelith. You may call me Hilde, mother... maybe call me sister. That feels better I doubt I'm old enough for that mothering part. " she laughed a bit before continuing.
"You must be wondering what all this is about." I nodded which made her hum before continuing.
"Simple. You are a devil. Your existence in my realms would be harsh for you. "
"So you made an entire realm for me. Forgive me my lady but that feels unbelievable." I argued.
"My lady," she muttered like she was tasting. the name. "I like. Yes indeed you are right it is unbelievable. My initial idea was to stick you to my palace as an ornament while gleaning every secret you bear. Or send you off to war in a distant realm. "
"But you chose this. Why? If I may ask."
She paused for a moment before answering.
"I grow stronger with each passing day. And with each passing of Sol's light my contenders grow. Soon war will come and then I might not be here to protect all that I hold dear."
"Why tell me all this? I refuse to believe you trust me to know your secrets." I prodded. What was her angle I wondered.
"There are no secrets you could use against me. Before you tried you would cease to exist. No. A certain someone advised me on how best to use a Devilless in my service. Something that would gain both you and I benefits. This is the fourth realm. Here you can live or here you may die. It is up to you".
"In a short while the realms will be opened to each other. You can attack Feyryire or Torheim as they too will attack you."
"What is dungeon heart?"
"You are weak now compared to my children since they are all way ahead of you. So I granted you that. A boon". She let loose a card that floated to my palms. On touching it my brain was filled with information and a core settled into my left breast. I now understood how to use the skill effectively and how important it was to me.
" You granted me the power to raise my troops?"
"Indeed. You will be able to visit the mortal realms just once every 500 years. of their time. Only your netizens will be able to visit as they please as long as the conditions are right of course and during other settings. Use your boon wisely. I'm certain there is much to be gained from the mortal realms to aid you in your task while your demons undoubtedly wreak havoc about".
" And what is my task?"
"My children will come for you soon enough. Till then you have a moment of grace. Use it wisely. Prepare to defend or, to attack".
" If they died at my hand?." I asked. The slight gleam of light in her eyes didn't escape my attention.
"Beat them, break their bones. Break their spirits if you will. But do not unalive them. Or death will be paradise to you".I felt a chill trickle down my spine.
"Your brats would grow arrogant and conceited if they were to learn I couldn't kill them due to an order from mother dearest".
" Which is why they will never know about this. "she stated calmly.
"So you would use me as a whetstone for your brats". I asked slowly getting peeved.
" True. But, they won't be the only ones getting sharpened in war" she shrugged.
"Trust me Ayarat. All things have their purpose" she tapped my shoulder like she wasn't morbidly plotting my death.
" Now I placed a dungeon in here for you, do well to use it wisely in growing stronger. If you die within it you'll get respawned atop your throne. Do well not to die though ".
"If that is all I will take my leave.".
"Weapons my lady. I lack gear". The lady Hildelith paused for a moment before nodding.
"That is fair. Alright. I will loan you this template for just a week. After which you will lose it. I'm certain there are many things to learn from your realm. I can't teach you all of it". another card appeared in her fingers and floated to me.
Like the first, it disappeared into my skin at a touch and I flinched at the information she'd given me. It seemed it would have to be the first thing I did before anything else.
Still, I had one final request to make of her.
" Could I leave at times? Not to fight. Just to sightsee?" I was certain she would refuse. Her long silence had my fists tightening up, my claws disappearing into my palms for just a moment. Black blood dripped out of the holes I had made in my skin as I waited.
"I guess it would be harsh of me not to accept that. Alright then. But any nefarious thoughts will have you cast down here instantly with no definite time to be released back. With that said you can only visit the mortal realms with an incarnation and can only sightsee. No violence. You may use this moment to plant or plot whatever actions will grant you victory in your coming 500-year release, but no blood spilling. Any such thoughts will lead to..."
"Casting down I got it".
"Very well. See you then Ayarat. I hope you do well. I'd dislike having to find a new prime devil to take your place.". She rose slowly in the air as she spoke then with a blast of wind and hot energy that tingled my skin she was gone. The last I saw was a shooting star in the nothing that disappeared in seconds.
'Alone. Once again.'. I materialized a template.
" At least I have you to play with". I eyed the template of a dungeon spawn point and rose from my throne heading to the edge of my tower window to look outside.
I flung the template outside and watched as it ricocheted through the sweet air and burrowed into the ground to the west of my tower.
"The first of my own. Well, let's see what I can use you for. "
