Chapter 16 - Chapter 15- Children Of Demon Killers

Dear future Historian Knight, I know you want to know who King Markus, Maximo, and Ramon were. The story happened about five thousand years ago when demons and horse chariots roamed the world. The demons lived in their caves, the sea, forests, and mountains, and the local people worshipped them.

The first king, King Severus of Serena City, was prompted to worship the real God. This religion is called Kirkia. During his reign, Serena City's residents and nearby cities became Kirkians.

When King Severus died, King Markus took his father's throne. Demon King Aidan and the nine other demons were angry because residents of Serena, Kimi, and other cities stopped worshipping and sacrificing for them. They worshipped the God of Kirkia. First, the sea demon Zephara tormented the fishermen of the two cities, destroyed their ships, and killed ten fishermen. Aidan, the area's demon king, controlled the heat from the sun. He made the sunrays too harsh, so the crops died, and the river dried up, which caused hundreds of people to die from heatstroke and starvation. The eight other demons plagued the people.

King Ramous and his wife, Queen Myrona of Kimi City, were also Ammoun and Ammouna. The title was given to the people who serve God, but they can get married and hold ordinary positions. God tried to stop Aidan with a God-given power called Kir, but Aidan's Vil power was more powerful than theirs. He killed Ramous and Myrona. When King Markus discovered his friend and cousin King Ramous and his wife had died, he wanted to avenge their death.

Our world had two supernatural elements: Kir and Vil. Kir was God-given power to God's worshippers. Demons and their followers used Vil. The demons manipulated Kir into becoming Vil. Individuals had the right to choose between them. However, many people were distracted by superficial, mundane, everyday things and did not make a choice. We call them "Lukewarm."

King Markus and his son, Prince Philip, prayed night and day for God to help them stop the ten demons who wreaked havoc on his people. A heavenly man with a rainbow iris appeared to them with a flaming sword called Sefi-Kayma and ten colored eggs called Kanis.

When King Markus and Prince Philip arrived at the cave, Aidan detected them and used fire to attack them, but the sword protected Markus and Philip by absorbing all of Aidan's fire. Markus walked into Aidan's fire until he reached the demon. At the same time, Philip was reciting a prayer that the heavenly man gave him. Markus shoved the blade into the demon and used the sword's handle to push the demon, Aidan, to the cave wall. He opened the cap on the sword's hilt and put the ten small eggs in it. While the eggs filled up, the demon weakened until he became only a fading light like an extinguished candle.

King Markus's body could not handle fighting the demons' king, Aidan, and he died days later from a heart attack. Philip became the king after Markus's death. He stayed on his throne only for six months. He died from depression because of his father's and his daughter's deaths. King Maximo, Philip's younger brother, took his throne.

When King Philip reigned over the city, his brother Maximo and King Ramon, the son of King Ramous, went on a demon-killing voyage. They killed the other nine demons, including Zephara, using the Sefi-Kayma, the Flaming Sword.

Zephara was the second demon to die. Prince Maximo pretended to worship her on her mesa. She appeared to him while he was acting defeated; she did not anticipate King Ramon coming from behind and stabbing her with Sefi-Kayma.

Zephara's husband, Nickjoe, was a demon of the earth wanting to avenge his murdered wife. He caused an earthquake in the two cities. Ramon and Maximo killed him with Sefi-Kayma.
