On a remote continent where desert covered ninety percent of the land. A young woman sat perched on top of a large throne made of five men acting as the throne itself, with even more men of all races in front of her. “To think It was so easy. For I, the Demon Queen of Lust, to now be here spells the end of this world.”

The young woman tapped her chin as she looked off towards the north. “The Demon Queen of Cinder is to the east, and the Demon Queen of Darkness is to the north, while the Demon Queen of Death are is to the west. It seems it is time to see who is the true ruler of this world.”

All demon queens could feel the other. It was just part of being a demon queen. It was not normal for so many demon queens to be alive and able to move around freely. Since a demon queen was too hard to kill most of the time, they were normally sealed by powerful people who gave up their own life essence just to seal them. But now, due to the merger, those seals no longer exist. This means five demon queens had descended upon the world. One of which was currently munching on a roasted rabbit.

“Cinder, you are crying again.” Desaray felt helpless with this girl. She walked over and gently wiped Cinder’s tears away.

“I haven’t had a meal like this since my parents…” Cinder could no longer continue talking as her tears seasoned the meat that was in her hands.

Yi Ling did not know what to say, but she kind of felt as if Desaray was Cinder’s mom with how she gently stroked the girl's back and tried to calm her down. She began to worry about the training she was going to undergo later on.

“Mama, is she my sister?” Lily’s innocent eyes showed she did not mean any harm by her words but Lily also felt that Cinder was much younger than she looked.

“No. She is your Mama’s friend. She just had a rough life. Even worse than yours. So be nice to her from now on, okay?” Desaray could understand why her daughter would ask such a thing. After all, Cinder did not act her age. She was very curious about things and acted around ten years old. While Desaray knew this would eventually change as time went on, she did not wish to create any bad memories here in Serenity for Cinder. She wanted Cinder to live a new life, forgetting about her past.

“Okay!” Lily walked over and patted Cinder on the back and even swished her tail against Cinder’s face. This quickly caught Cinder’s attention; the fluffy tail made her calm down. But since her hands were greasy, she didn’t dare touch it. “Big Sister Cinder, later on, can you help me comb my tail?”

“O-Okay!” Cinder smiled brightly as she nodded her head. She really liked Lily. She was young and had no hate towards her. She was happy to know that she was not scared of her. While she did remember the days when she burnt whole villages down, she at that time was blinded by hate.

Desaray smiled as she sat down next to Yi Ling. “Ling, how are things?”

“They are good. Nina taught me a lot today. She said she would soon be caught up in levels and will also have ice resistance.” Yi Ling replied.

“Nina has been here for a long time helping me take care of Lily. Since my aura expanded, she has had to limit her duties to only part of the house. I feel bad. But it has also allowed her to go and raise her level as well. Soon, she will have free reign of the house again.” Desaray hated how Nina was stuck to only part of the house. She even had to move her room due to the aura Desaray gave off. Desaray offered Nina her own house, but Nina refused, saying she would prefer to deal with the cold than to be unable to do anything. After that, Nina began wearing layers upon layers of clothing just to help around around the house. It was pure dedication that made Desaray wish she could do more for Nina.

“She is very kind.” Yi Ling realized that everyone she met, even those from the city, were very kind. Everyone was working hard to make the kingdom a home for them. Every person praised Desaray as their goddess and a benevolent ruler who only thought about the people’s well-being. The city itself had so many escape tunnels and locations that it proved just how much Desaray put thought into saving the people in case of an attack. Soon, her own people would be moving here, and she couldn’t wait for them to see just how different this kingdom is compared to any government that the world had before things changed.

“Tomorrow, I will have Juna send us back to China. I want to get your people here as soon as possible before they get caught up in whatever the other demon queens are doing. This world may seem chaotic now, but this is nothing compared to what is to come. We can only hope we have the strength to fend off any and all enemies in the future.”
