_ Chapter One _: Nubius Prologue: Trials of a Demon

It was evening in the twilight hours of an army base by the sea, while at that time on the docks, two guards where walking a soldier, who was their prisoner, to a huge air ship on the shores of the water. The prisoner was starting to think back to his time in trial...

"You have been charged with disobeying direct orders, murder, and betrayal..." " THIS IS A BUNCH A BULL SHIT AND YOU KNOW IT," yelled the solider in chains who interrupted one of the three Generals which were a male Chimp, a male bull Elephant, and a female Black Panther! "...We of the Army Civil Force Base have found you guilty under all charges. For the punishment of your crimes...you will be put to death at sea in front of the Commanding Officers," said one of the Generals. Back at the dock, the poisoned solider and the guards we're on the air ship and started floating in the air out towards the middle of the vast sea. Soon, the ship was positioned in the middle of the deep, dark, swirling ocean surrounded by blood red sky of the setting sun, while on the back of the air ship, the cargo bay doors were opening as it hovered above the crashing waves that were calling for a sacrifice. On the deck of the ship, the Commanding Officers who were a male monkey and a male fox, was standing in a line next to each other as they waited for the prisoner, they were going the become his eye witness to his coming death. Once again, the two guards from before brought out the prisoner in front of the officers who gave them a growling look. "{name} Shiba Inu, You are here to for fulfill your crimes of disobeying your officers, murdering many of your fellow officers, and betraying your fellow officers in the line of duty and will now pay for these crimes by drowning at sea! Well, is there anything you have to say before we proceed," said the monkey? The Shiba Inu raised his head and gave a smirk as he looked at both the Commanders, "You basters won't get away with the unjust yo...!" "BAM!!!" Suddenly, a silent shot fired from out of nowhere and hit the Shiba in the left breast of his chest causing him to stubble backwards as the guards let go. As the Shiba began to fall back towards the open doors in the floor, he grabbed a glance of one of the Commanders who grinned at the sight of the helpless dog who was falling to his death. The Shiba fell until he hit a wall of cold water with a lot of force causing him to sink faster and faster beneath the rushing waves which swirled him around, tossing and turning. Still locked in heavy chains, the Shiba Inu tried his best to struggle loose...to no prevail. With them on his legs and wrist, he was sinking fast into the moving currents that had no mercy for his helpless body. As the dog descended even lower towards the dark parts of the sea which was slowly calmer, he was free to think, "I can't breath much longer...I can't go down, not like this...I want at those bastards who framed me...I want to live!"

Suddenly, it got really quiet and dark all around him where it looked like he was floating in empty space of a black void. His eyes barely open noticed the sudden change and looked around weakly as he felt his strength leaving him. "No,... am I dying?"

"No...your not dying...not yet anyway," said a voice from the darkness. The Shiba Inu's eyes weakly searched for the person who was speaking but to no one most likely not under the water. He soon started to think he was losing it due to drowning as he was losing air. "Who are you," he said barely gasping for air? Then the voice in the darkness started to speak once more, "Who I am is not important, but what I want to do for you is. I have a propitiation for you..."

{the Shiba Inu} 'As I was hanging on to life, the voice told me about a group called the Black Blood Society where others like me, who view the world like me, join together to fight and protest against the ignorance of the world, so that we can make it better. But to become a member of the society, I have to pledge my allegiance to the one he called leader, 'Seth.' To do that, I have to give up... my soul. In exchange, he promises to give me ultimate power, in which I can use at free will. What was there to lose...but my soul? My life already meant and felt like nothing. Dark, lonely, discussed, and it goes on all day and every day and this would give me time to get back at those military assholes who frames me...' The black Shiba nodded his head weakly in agreements to the voice's offer and at that moment the dog pass out giving his last breath. Suddenly right then, the Shiba wasn't floating in water but was on a flat surface, still in the dark but with no water to be found as he started to set up and began to cough up water trying to breath again. {the Shiba Inu} 'As I stood on my feet, I noticed it was cold, heat only came from my mouth as I breathe a puff of air and moisture would appear. Then, suddenly, a demonic voice spoke from the darkness to me, saying, 'We are all friends here.' Like I cared. I don't fear him; I didn't fear anybody when there is nothing there but emptiness in my heart. "Just get it over with! As long as you do what was told to me about this power...then I'll hold my end of the deal." I didn't care, so, I gave it up. After I said what I had to say, the demon chuckled freakishly finding my words humorous, which pissed me off. Soon, the one I thought had the demonic voice finally came into view as flames began to burst out of the darkness as I found myself surrounded by what looks like a giant lizard's tail. Then, I saw a huge serpent head with horns swing it's body around me so that I wouldn't get away as it grabbed hold of my body, squeezing me like it was trying to crush my bones. Then, the monster opened its huge mouth with rows of fangs and just sucked it out of my body like it was nothing. A little, tiny piece of bright light that looked like a beacon in the surrounding darkness was the object that was my soul. The beast held the soul in it's claws for a moment and then it swallowed the tiny light before my eyes. As I saw the light shaped sphere in its throat making its way down the serpent's gut like a one way meal ticket, the beast then released me as I fell to the cold ground which suddenly became very hot like a heated volcano. I looked up into the darkness, I could see the serpent, and what seemed like another figure standing next to it. I could never see his face clearly, but I could sense that he was no ordinary person. After he took what he wanted, I started to feel very different. My body...my muscles felt so...muscular? Every popping sounded of my body was like something was going to break with every muscle growing inside of me. I could feel every single bone grow from the inside, extending my nails that suddenly turned into spare, penetrating, and deadly claws. My once normal teeth were now growing larger with every pulse of my veins, turning them into pointy fangs. My fur was getting more sharp with every rush of my now hot, intense blood coursing through my body. It was at this point where I couldn't take it anymore and started to scream in pain. My eyes...all I could see was red. Everything...everything was pure, bloody red and as I looked around me, so was everybody else. Yes, there were others and their eyes were red as well as mine. I started to realize that nobody was normal in this place. Not even me now. I soon discovered that I have transformed into a demon.

When I had come to...all was quiet and everything was in total darkness again, but...this time it was different...There were others but they looked like shadowy figures that would hiss and chuckle amongst themselves like if they were chanting a spell or something. As I stood, I realize I was not in pain anymore like before. My body felt very strong and powerful...I felt as if I could destroy anything with a touch that no one would be able stop me. When I glanced at the glassy rock next to me, it showed a reflection of a better-looking creature. My fur, ears, even my eyes were flawless...even my attitude about everything I thought about was unbreakable. I felt like I was a GOD...everything about me was perfect. Soon, I noticed some females who were demonic like me, were walking up to me suddenly hugging and touching my body like a famous movie star or a male super model. I felt unbelievable... My days after I became a demon, it was almost like a blur to me. During the time I began to notice a lot of the changes to my physical appearance. My Shiba Inu sense on a scale of one to a hundred have grown to over a thousand; maybe even more. My eye sight was keen, my hearing was perfect, and my ability to move my body in physical activities...was unlimited.

During the course of time, it seem like it would never change as I and others like me would walk in a land of darkness and shadows. Surrounded by blacken transparent beast and demonic apparition, I soon came to realize that they are all mindless clusters of putrid waste of space. Sometimes I would catch myself saying, 'Is this what death in hell really like...or I'm I still living in the world of today?' Every now and then when I see the others like me, I would look at them as if they were beneath me and they would share the same look back at me, which would cause us to fight each other on who is the best and who would get their ass handed to them. I would always in up on top of every brawl, but something would bother me...that someone was always watching me...testing me. Pushing me to see how far I can go in my ability...to survive. In times of worldly havoc, we were told by the Demon Lord's crones that we must control chaos in the world in order to make it peaceful once more to our liking, so in doing so...we must interfere.

[There was a war between two nations for land, army against army and brother against brother. The black Shiba and few others like him were in the middle between the two nations. As the war began with cannon and guns firing, the demons attack not just one side but both.] To us it didn't matter who was right or wrong, good or bad, if all reason were negative then it's all erroneous. We didn't care; it was all the thrill of the hunt; the killing and victory of defeating the enemy. When the battle was won, regular people who demons called 'Normals' would come and try to thank us but only we could hear what they were really thinking, not as heroes but as monsters. Negative thoughts like that was not tolerated by any of us...so we would destroy them too until there was nothing left...without hesitation. Every male, female, and child would be eliminated from sight without question. The wanting to fight and the thirst to kill was growing in the pit of my stomach more and more. Once again, we would grow are fangs, extend are claws, and are appearances would change with are emotions. Our eyes would light up to show are level of energy and strength. The people like me, were also different types of monsters and mis-shapin demons who also thirst for the flesh. For every person I killed, it would make me want to do it even more without thinking. I was not afraid of the massacre or the blood and bones, but I grew tired of it. Being a mindless beast was beneath me and I am no ones puppet. With every death of our enemies, we've delivered souls to the one they called master...'Seth' the one I called the soul eater. For what purpose...I don't know...but it makes me sick. I grew tired of following someone else rules. Not that I would care, but it all seem mindless to me. I sat and thought, I have what I want. So, I decided to do my own thing and fight only for my own reason, not his. Why stick around any longer?' "Because, you signed an agreement, Nubius..." said a White Wolf who appeared from behind him with eyes glimmering of sliver, "...by giving up your soul." Nubius rushed over with his claws pointing at the male Wolf's throat just inches away from cutting it off, but the Wolf also had the blade of his spare pointing at the Shiba's lower privates. Both were frozen, not moving but both were not afraid to die. The White Wolf just grinned at the Black dog and chuckled, "Ha, ha, you're so quick to want to kill, little pup," he said with a low tone, his eyes not leaving the Shiba's sight. "I don't see what's so fucking funny, ass hole! I should kill you for spying on me this long," Nubius wasn't playing as he growled and showed his fangs knowing that his lower regions could get cut off and he would have to change his sex from male to female if that happened. "Ha, don't you know anything boy...that's what Wolves do...we always check to make sure that the surrounding is safe before we show our selves otherwise we die," the White Wolf then began to sneer at the dog with a serious look and spoke, "I think you better relax now or you might lose something very precious to you." "How will I know you are not going to pull anything...," Nubius asked? The White Wolf then started to back off slowly and lowered his weapon, and then the Shiba did the same and lowered his paw, retracing his claws but did not look away from the Wolf's glare. "Ha, ha, you are different little pup, you got balls..." "OK, who the fuck is you and what do you want," Nubius rudely interrupted him? The White Wolf then started to walk around the Black Shiba Inu who continued watching his every move. Nubius then noticed that this Wolf had two separated tails. Both looked alike, fluffy and sleek but something was different about him that makes this wolf unmatched liked the others. "So rude, maybe if you give me the chance to speak...you'll get some answers," once again in a low, growl tone and still circling. "Spill it! I'm not in a playing mood," Nubius spat as he was starting to feel uneasy and was getting impatient! After the White Wolf made a complete circle of the Black Shiba, he faced him, threw his spare into the ground beside himself (blade end first), then fold his arms outward from his body showing that he has no weapons. 'What the fuck,' Nubius said to himself! "What is this? You're really starting to piss me off..." "O, cut the crap! Can you see I'm simple saying I come unarmed so you can stop pissing everywhere! Gee, you're such a puppy...Clam the hell down," the Wolf explained his meaning of his motions. "My name is Sylis...and I have been following you for a little while. I came to tell you your thoughts are too loud." Nubius looked confused and annoyed at what the Wolf, now called Sylis, was saying to him as he repeated, "My thoughts are too loud? What the hell are you saying to me, punk? I didn't say anything..." "Not with your mouth, now, but with your mind once again your thoughts," Sylis explained as he looked at Nubius' expressions of disbelief. "Pssst, I am out of here..." Nubius said as he was about to leave! "Like was thinking of wanting to leave here," Sylis whispered as he suddenly appeared next to the dog's ear to get his message across to him. Nubius jumped back and was shocked of how swift his was with his moves. "I'm telling the truth, and you need to listen...before you are caught." 'What the fuck is going on,' the dog said to himself trying to understand what was happening right now with this sudden messenger of warning."Yes...you wanted to leave this place. Which I think is kind of impossible. You signed a debt with the Demon Lord, Seth, by giving up your soul...but I guess you already knew that." Nubius pulled out his one hand and displayed his sharp claws once more and showed a very serious look. "Now, now, there is no reason to get crazy," Sylis explained and waving his hands showing there is no need to fight. "Well you're making me pretty freakin edgy...but see you are wrong! There is a loop hole in that so-called agreement! Besides that, what are you? You one of his dumb basters slugging around here watching me so you can turn my ass in?" The wolf just chuckled and spoke, "Ha, ha, no...I am a victim of darkness and despair just caught up in a situation almost just like you have." "Hold on! How would you know anything about me," said the dog having a fit! "That's not the point, the point is by having your soul taken away, you are at the mercy of any command that the Lord Seth whenever he beckons you; a slave to do his bidding. By defying him and his laws, it could mean certain death. They will find you!" I don't even know why he even cares if I get caught or not; "Demons are not suppose to care or have any feelings at all. You want to get out and that proves you can still think for yourself...and that you are not some mindless drone," Sylis explained. "Why do you care anyway?" Nubius' tail was all in a frizz and ears catching every word that the wolf had spited out so far. "It's just a warning that if they know what you are trying to do and if they find you..." Then, Nubius turned around and pushed his way past him heading towards a cliff with his back facing the wolf as he stood in silent looking into the unknown in front of him. Then, he spoke, "At this point, I really don't care...cause you're all dead anyway, right? No one...can control me! Now, fuck off!" Suddenly, Nubius ran toward the edge of the cliff and fell down all the way to the bottom, with great speed he touch ground and ran as fast as he could to the horizon. He ran so fast that he started to brake a hole through time and space causing his body to vanish from the dark realm to who knows where. "I am Nubius...an outcast and I belong nowhere."

'Somehow, I appeared in a sandy waste land, hot and barren. Even in the twilight hours as i walked to find some kind of stable location for myself...I guess I was found out, cause I just can't seem to stay out of crap.' Nubius with his sensitive dog ears wiggle to the sound of someone following him. Smoothly, he turned around and called out, "Whoever you are...Your not doing such a hell of a job sneaking up on me! SO COME THE FUCK OUT!" In the shadows of some scrubby trees were glowing yellow and red eyes of a big beast which started to slowly creep out of hiding. It started with a hove then it came busting out with full force. It was a Bull...a Bull called Rocrul the Torturous, one of the demons of the dark realm. This bull of thundering hooves, made the sand rise up into the air causing a gritty sand storm behind him. The ground shifting around and cracking like an earthquake with every smashing step charging straight for the black Shiba Inu as the bull lowered his head and pointing his razor, sharp horns. Nubius prepared to embrace himself as he got into a fighting stances. "BOOM!" Rocrul ram right into the black dog that stood his ground as he was sliding back in the sand pushing until the bull threw him into the air. For a split moment, Rocrul appeared in front of Nubius throwing a huge fist, punching him in the cheek back down to earth. But, Nubius stop himself instantly only by a few inches from the ground, suddenly, turning around and pointing a gun at the bull and fired a shot. At super fast speed, what looked like to be a titanium bullet, it zoom right threw Rocrul's left cheek and then it exploded. "BOOM!!!" Smoke was everywhere and pieces of the bull flew into the air but out of nowhere, Nubius appeared behind Rocrul and clocked him once in the back of his thick skull. It almost did nothing as Rocrul turned and punched Nubius in the shoulder who also punched back. Soon, both started throwing punches and blocking in the heat of the dust and sand that swarmed a rounded them as the sun was starting to disappear over the horizon. Nubius notice that he was losing daylight and was getting pissed off about being delayed, but not only that, he was losing energy as well. Rocrul pierced Nubius' shoulder with his mighty horns and threw a sucker punch when he wasn't paying attention sending him falling to the ground with swarms of shadow demons that covered the black dog all over; pinning him to the ground so he doesn't try to escape. "He, he, he, lowly mutt...you can not escape the power of the dark realm...your enslaved in it for all times!!!" The bull chuckled as he soon stopped laughing to the sight of Nubius forcing the shadow demons off of him making them disappear at the power of his might. Breathing heavily and crouched over, Nubius' appearance started to change with his eyes now fully red and fur all spiky that he sent out a fearsome blast attack from the palm of his hand turning the bull into Swiss cheese. "I DON'T LIKE BRAISED BEEF YOU COW...FUCK OFF!" "Ahhhhhhhh,"Rocrul yelled at the pain that was inflicted on him! In one moment, Rocrul skin formed back in to a whole again as his demon powers regenerate his flesh. As the smoke and dust settled, Rocrul looked a rounded and saw no sign or hair of the black dog which made him furious. "NUBIUS!!! YOU CAN'T ESCAPE US! WE WILL FIND YOU! NO MATTER WHERE YOU RUN...WE WILL FIND YOUUUUU AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!" With that loud out burst, Rocrul was soon covered in black, shadowy smoke with only his eyes to be seen and then suddenly...vanished without a trace.

It was the middle of a cool night near a place called 'Zueconia City.' The moon was full as the rays of lights shined down on every dew on the grassy hills. A gentle breeze would blow from time to time through the palm tree forest, moving the shadow on the ground as if they were alive. Suddenly, someone was running through the misty forest at rapid speed. The person was moving so fast, all you could see were the icy blue streaks of their eyes moving in the darkness like a ninja. As a cloud rolled by the moon, one shadowy silhouette figure near a tree came into the lunar light, showing its true form. It was a dark colored figure, a creature whose eyes of blue and silver ice glowed through the darkness of the night. It was Nubius who stepped out further into the light of the moon, wearing dark colored clothing, from his jacket, to his shirt, to his pants, and shoes, they merged him in the dark nightly surroundings making it hard for him to be seen. He was breathing deeply after the run that puffs of moisture were coming from his nose into the chilly night air. He stood there on the grassy hill as the fluff on his chest started to fly in the upcoming breeze."How did I get here? I know I ran for a while, but..." Nubius was perplexed, trying to figure out things of how he ended up in a strange looking place. There down in the valley of the high mountains was a big, bright glowing city near the ocean. Nubius gazed at the never-ending lite metropolis as he had never seen a huge city before. "I need...to get away. I belong...nowhere, with anyone. I should just keep moving." Soon, a cool fog started to cloud the area surrounding him and It was clam and peaceful for a moment for him to think for a while. "I feel so weak...my energy is low...," Nubius said as he breath deeply and feeling exhausted while holding his right arm dripping in blood, "...I must...feed." Then, the breeze started to pick up as his nose grabbed hold of a scent that he hasn't smelled for who knows how long. With his scenes being keen and strong, he caught the fresh scent that was sweet and feminine coming from a distance below on a walk way on the hills. [Sniff, sniff!] "Its a female...,"_he said to himself as he sucked in the aroma? _"It's getting stronger and it's coming down the path...this way." Nubius was furiously hungry as hiscuriosity got the better of him and he decided to go down to check it out. The shadowy creature leaps down from the cliff into some trees below, then ran through the forest until he got close to the trail. As Nubius got closer, he started to slow down and noticed a light in the distance coming down the brick-like walk path. Right away, this event was starting to excite him with his blood itching for a chance to kill. "It's time to hunt," his mind said as he gave a low growl in his throat. His claws were starting to grow and fangs were large and ready. His blue and silver eyes were now demonic red like a beast of raging blood. His fur looked like quills that were very pointy and sharp; not so flexible like a few minutes ago. Like a predator hunting it's prey, the black Shiba Inu hid himself around some bushes in a pouncing position ready to strike the innocent victim with the sweet scent without a thought. He saw in between some huge leaves of the bushes that it was in fact a female; a young Lupus with a flashlight of some sort. She was wearing a blue hoodie that would cover her whole face, hiding her expressions from the world. If it wasn't for the smell, he would have thought that it was a guy because of the way she was dressed in her clothes wearing baggy pants and an oversized sweat jacket. "Kill her...kill her," his mind said to him as his hunger grew for the flesh of a woman. As the young girl walked closer towards the bushes with the black dog being undiscovered by her, she passed him up making her way to the city down the trail. Nubius slowly came out of the bushes and quietly walked up close behind the unexpected female, taking one sharp, clawed hand and was going to choke her; planning to cut off the young girl's air and feasted on her body but...something stopped him. He didn't do it; he just froze in his attack position as he started to hear another voice. It started out like whispers than it got louder and louder. _ "I wish I was dead ...Why am I here, anyway? I don't want to_ _ live , anymore...I'm a_ _ Mistake _!" The word 'MISTAKE' echoed in Nubius' mind like an earache as he quickly took his hands and covered his fluffy ears. He couldn't believe what he was hearing; it was like a living nightmare coming to haunt him from his past. "Are these my thoughts...or her's?" Something madeNubius retract his claws and teeth as well as his eyes, changing them back into their natural icy blue state, he was transformed back to normal once again. Nubius slowly pulled back his hand and rest them at his side as he just watched, what looked like to be a Lupus {Dog}, walking away with a sad expression...he already knows what it's like to be misunderstood. "I hate my pathetic LIFE," the word_ ' _ life' echoed in his head, repeatedly. For some reason, he could not kill this girl; he could only feel sorry for her and could only wonder...? "...Why?!" Suddenly, the young girl quickly turned around with her flashlight after she heard someone or something speak behind her. When she did, she saw nothing but endless darkness and ghostly fog and she became kind of nervous. "I thought...I heard something," she said with a hoarse voice to a whisper; the sound of a very weak individual. The young girl took her hoodie off her head and tried to have a better look around to find out where the noise was coming from. Hidden, Nubius stared at her noticing that she was pretty much like him. [Sigh] "I guess it was nothing." Tiredly, she turned around and continued her walk towards the city down the path. But, without noticing, a dark figure was standing right next to her when she turned around with his blue eyes gazing at her as she disappeared into the city entrance. "I don't understand? She looks so...nice? And from the looks of her, she appears to be a Shiba Inu. Shibas are usually strong and full of pride. How can a dog like her have depressive thoughts like that? I...I never heard anything sad like that besides my own? She said she wanted to die?!...and I almost granted her wish...but why do I care? Ugh! It makes my head hurt...her thoughts...even in that distance I can still hear them...AH! But...even so, demons shouldn't have thoughts like this. Its forbidden! I have to find out how she targeting these thoughts in my head...I have to find out why?" Soon, the light coming from the horizon glowed, making the water on the beaches sparkled a beautiful blue and lighting the dark green trees giving the forest its ghostly look of a new day. The early morning birds were also starting to wake as they began to chirp at the coming of morning twilight. Nubius soon recovered from the thoughts and his appearance started to disappear with the coming of dawn. Almost like a ghost, It was like he was never even there at all.
