A Deal with the Demon
"NOOOOO!"
The boy who got pushed in and fell beyond a seal gets up and rushes towards the sealed door and starts banging while screaming and wailing as tears start to stream down his face. He bangs the door to somehow cross beyond it, but to no avail
*SOB* *SOB*
The boy who was around 10 years old was sobbing is Sarkar Umbra the current patriarch of the once mighty Umbra royalty and ruler of the kingdom Vengaza.
-
The last 100 years have not been pleasant for the Umbra's.
After the Ancestor of the family established a new kingdom he named it Vengaza after the word venganza (Spanish) with the meaning of retribution. He wanted the last of the descendants to remember what happened in the past and for them to now turn humble hence forth. But after his death the downfall of the family began.
Throughout the years due to unfit patriarchs and being in fear of the enemies of the past the family started crumbling down on itself.
With the Treasury getting spent in vain by the family for their luxury. Like making the palace grander and more luxurious by subsequent patriarchs or by acquiring and buying exotic slaves or just spending and squandering the wealth on other whims.
And worst when all the wealth that could have been spent without bringing out things that could identify them and alert anyone of their past, they started taking loans from the neighboring kingdoms.
And all the worthy people of the family giving up hope and those with greed stole whatever valuables from the family left to different parts of the world to start their new lives.
And now the only blood descendant of the Umbra family who was at the age of 10 was trying to stir the kingdom in the right direction, faced betrayal by his closest confidants.

Now in front of the gate Sarkar stared in space with lifeless eyes.
Before he was forced to open the sealed dore, he had informed the only person loyal to him of the teleportation array that could send them away from the place.
He had come to terms that nothing good was left here for him and was of mind to get away from here with Seraosa who was the only loyal guard he had.
He knew what lay inside the sealed space, as only the patriarchs of each generation were allowed to know.
The Book that sealed the demon.
Now Sarkar truly felt like he was left alone in the world.
He never knew his mother as she died during child birth. And later with the death of his father he had to shoulder the weight of the kingdom.
But even that was an illusion as his treacherous uncle had always been manipulating him for his own profits.
And now that he was even stolen from the rights of his kingdom, he was left with nothing.
So he came up with a plan. He instructed Seraosa with his plan that when they go to the gate to jump with him when he activates the spell with the ring of the patriarch which is passed down to every generation.
Now at the end of the line of what was left of his sanity, a spark gave rise to a new flame in his eyes.
It burned brighter than any ambition or love he had for anything.
Revenge and hatred started clouding his head.This was the first time he is feeling emotions this extreme.
While he was being influenced by this emotions there was certain change occurring in his body. ( I'm going full Uchiha on this Bitch! )
Specifically his eyes, his iris turned red. While the black became much darker. ( Ok not maybe full Uchiha... but I will think about giving him eye powers )
He gathered his resolve.
He climbed the stairs towards the platform. He reached the pedestal where the book was placed.
He hesitated, but he was overcome by his emotions instantly.
He pressed his hand on the book. And started the process as it was instructed in the inheritance every patriarch gets from the ring of the patriarch.
He knew there was no going back from here.

A black fog appeared from the book.
It started rotating and got denser and denser.
And as the now water like fog which formed a suction like tornado, spun with ever more force, something started to emerge from the center.
A head, the fog transformed into Rayu's head.
As Rayu opens his eyes, a presure came upon Sarkar. It was a titan had descendant on a mortal plane.
Rayu looks ahead of him, to see a boy of around 10 years old slatered on the ground due to the pressure.
He starts processing the setuation he is in. Remembering the past brought a smile on his face. And he started connecting the dots to what his current situation.
"Hahaha... so what is it this time huh"
"I want revenge." said the boy with gritted teeth.
"you Umbra do not change do you."
"I want revenge, tell me you accept or not." As been crazed by his emotions, Sarkar asked back Rayu more fiercely.
"Do you know what happend to YOUR predecessor's that made a deal with me."Narrowing his eyes Rayu said.
Rayu didn't lash out at the boy for his disrespectful behavior. He saw that their was more to the boy then what met the eye.
And most importantly, he didn't feel any deep rooted malice in the boy. But it was started to erode him, his thoughts for vengeance was corrupting him.
"I don't care, you can have everything..."
As Sarkar was going to continue in a ferocious abandon, Rayu interpreted him.
"Hahaha... do you think you hold somthing of value to me." Retorted Rayu in a condescending voice.
Hearing the voice filled with mockery Sarkar grit his teeth.
"Not even the [Ten Thousand Demon Physique]."
And this time Rayu turned silent.
"Hahahahaha..."
Rayu laughed out loud.
"What would the Old man think, when his descended brings such a gift to me."
"Boy I accept your deal. I Accept."
Rayu's voice boomed through the chamber.
-
The fog burst and started to coagulate around Sarkar.
It encompassed him and made a cacoon.
At just before he was completely devoured Sarkar uttered his last words.
"I'm finally free."

Author Thoughts :
Damn I was so lazy I just forced myself to write Sarkar and Rayu's interaction.
The last part is so bland😑. I might edit it in the future(not gonna lie but the chances of that are near 0).
I hope y'all like it, and leave some comments to motivate me man, it be a great help.
