A New Boss of the School

Succubus sums up the new strongest in the school. He is an older demon who seems to have taken note of Succubus as their eyes lock. What will the new order bring to life at school in the underworld? Dave has written a 3 book fantasy series called “The Demon Curse” that discusses life in the underworld including their schooling.

I am posting a portion of the book per week. If you like riveting stories at the price of FREE this is for you. Here is the thirty-ninth installment of The Demon Curse Series Book #1 entitled “Son of Ruin” written by David E. Hiatt.

Chapter 7 Learning to Curse Installment 39

Succubus looked at the long-faced student more closely. Their eyes locked and he felt the tall demon’s dominant will. Succubus knew he should avert his eyes, but he continued to hold the powerful demon’s gaze. Ord seemed to make a mental note of Succubus, then turned and continued scanning the demons making their way off the flat plain and down the rock-strewn slope.

“He is gathering his lieutenants, his inner circle. Those who will help him rule,” said Ipses.

As he watched, Succubus saw Ord point to a slender, athletic looking demon who nodded and walked towards him.

“One day we will rule the school,” said Ghamegis.

Establishing a Pecking Order

Succubus turned to look at the large nosed demon, whose beady eyes were locked feverishly on Ord.

Noticing his look, Ghamegis said quickly, “You as the leader of course, Succubus.”

Looking at Ord, who now had another demon standing with him, making three, Succubus realized that the day would come when they would be the oldest. It would be nice to be the most powerful and have all the younger students carry out his will. Then he saw the back of his teacher.

A Deeper Pecking Order Wish

What I would really like is to see Borgin transferred to the Pits covered in demon waste.

As if sensing Succubus’ thoughts, Borgin glanced back at his large student. With a flick of his hand, he sent boulders rolling into his path, forcing Succubus to jump out of the way.

The next day, after they returned from the Summoning, Borgin finally decided they had mastered the equations to the point where he could teach them how to use that knowledge to curse others. Of course, these became opportunities to heap more punishment on his ‘prized’ student.
