Lucifer stood upon the platform, overlooking his vast black army with immense pride. Spread across the borderlands of Mystonia and Missr, millions of soldiers clad in black helmets stood at attention, each wielding a sword crafted from shadows. The mere touch of these blades turned their victims to ash.

As Lucifer approached the stage, a wave of reverence swept through the ranks. Every sword rose in salute, held aloft until the Dark Lord came to a halt. With his pause, a symphony of metallic clinks echoed through the air as each sword was lowered in unison, punctuating the silence with ominous determination.

Witnessing the devotion of his army, Lucifer was briefly overcome with emotion. Allowing the moment to linger, he spoke with a mix of resolve and sentimentality.

"At last, the hour is upon us. We shall liberate this world from the tyranny of God," he declared, his voice resonating across the assembled ranks. "This realm witnessed my genesis, and now it shall bear witness to its conclusion. This, my brethren, marks not only the end of an era but the dawn of a new age."

Upon hearing Lucifer's words, the black army's response was visceral. Their fists pounded against their chests, the metallic resonance melding into a haunting melody. Together, they emitted a rhythmic "hoof hoof," sending shivers of dread through the surrounding atmosphere. In the vast desert, not a soul stirred, yet in a distant town, Irene shielded her children from the ominous cacophony, pressing their hands firmly against their ears to block out the terrifying sound.

"My valiant warriors," Lucifer addressed his army with fervor, "we were cast into the fires of Hell for the sake of these mortals who are hellbent on their own destruction. This land, rightfully ours by nature, was unjustly seized and gifted to these craven souls. But the time has come for us to reclaim what is rightfully ours. Seize it for yourselves, for eternity. Yet, let it be known, this endeavor will not be without its challenges. We shall fight, and fight we must, until victory is ours."

Upon hearing Lucifer's decree, his black army erupted into a thunderous roar, their enthusiasm palpable as they awaited their leader's command. With unwavering determination, Lucifer issued the order they longed for, igniting the flames of their fervor even further.

"Go forth," Lucifer commanded, his voice resonating with authority, "and bring me the heads of Wolfgang and the Dragon Master."

As soon as Lucifer's command pierced the air, a primal scream of jubilation erupted from the ranks of his black army. With fervent determination, they swiftly pivoted on their heels and began their march, the rhythmic clang of metal accompanying each step like a grim proclamation of war. The sound echoed through the desolate landscape, a foreboding signal that the battle had begun in earnest.

As Lucifer's black army surged forward, driven by a relentless determination, their leader soared into the sky with outstretched arms. Beneath him, the land stretched out, a canvas ripe for conquest, and the anticipation of claiming it as his own surged within him, fueling his excitement and propelling him toward his dark ambitions.

With a deafening explosion that rent the air, Lucifer vanished from sight, leaving behind only the echoes of his malevolent presence.

Alone in a desolate room, Meera sat in solitude, her only companions the stifling silence and the two imposing guards stationed outside her closed door. Confusion clouded her thoughts as she struggled to comprehend the surreal circumstances surrounding her. Through a small window, a relentless gust of hot wind carried swirling clouds of dust, confirming her suspicions—she was trapped in the heart of the desert.

Startled by the sudden commotion outside her room, Meera rose to her feet just as the door swung open, revealing Lucifer adorned in his finest attire. His imposing figure filled the doorway, flanked by his dark soldiers who promptly sealed the room behind him, cutting off any potential escape routes.
