Riding The Line (Slow Updates)

1.1

1.1- Arena
Serena

It was dead silence in the ring, no one knew how to handle my last kill, the remnants splattered on the walls with a foul smelling gore. A lazy smile played on my lips, I had just killed one of father's little minions with only a small obsidian blade.

"My daughter, I must say your training is coming along quite nicely." Father said from the shadows.

The crowd immediately straightened to their ruler, Lucifer.

"You trained me well father. It would seem though that your minions need a bit of an adjustment, they're too easy."I called out scanning the crowd.

There was a man in this crowd who had stolen from my father which was the whole reason for this public display.

"If you say so my dear Serena, why don't we have someone from the crowd have a go at it, hm?" My father asked, a wicked grin sliding on his face.

"How about Vane Hern? I hear he's stolen a ruby from my fathers jewl room." I said to the crowd, my violet eyes narrowing on the man who was now visibly shaking.

"Come forward citizen."My father sneered.

Vane stepped out, a stain on his crotch from where he wet himself, and came forward. His pale gray eyes wide with fright and his pale skin a shade whiter. I was going to enjoy this immensely.

I called,"Bring out the minion!"

A door opened from somewhere and I could hear a sick slithering sound enough to make any person cower, but it only fueled my amusement.

Father and I flew up to our thrones, our obsidian black wings strong, making citizens, shudder, and we sat at our perch. A large slimy worm with poisoned spikes slithered into the arena, its angry red eyes trained on the small shaking Vane. The worm was hungry purposely starved for a day or two for added affect.

I tossed him my dagger and called, "Here a little somthing to defend yourself."

Some of the croud got a chuckle out of it, those who disliked Vale themselves. Others watched in worry.

The worm opened its mouth, sharp, jagged teeth the size of Vance winked at him in the dim lighting, its breath a cloud of poison that causes one to hallucinate.

Vance became engulfed in the cloud and he started to convulse on the floor, from the hallucinations no doubt, right before the worm tore him apart. Vance's screams haunting the arena floors.

"This citizen has stolen from me, this was his punishment."My father said just above a whisper, the words solid as steel,"If anyone decides to steal from me again, I hope you welcome your fate with open arms because this will be your fate."

After the show was over the crowd disbursed back to whatever part of Hell they resided in.

"Ah Selena, would you be a dear and go make sure the Great Room is finished? Our guests will be arriving soon." Father asked lazily, snapping his fingers for his septor.

"Yeah, I'll stop by there." I replied, flying down where all the carnage lay to get my dagger.

The worm that still remained in the pit purred when I approached, "You were such a good boy today!" I cooed to the beast.

It retracted its spikes so I could pet it and then it slithered away to its holding cell, spiking one of the guards on his way through the tunnels.

I chuckled and turned to leave,"Now time to go se if the damn room is finished."
