Chapter 2 by Nemo of Utopia Nemo of Utopia

Three Big Questions Now Remain: Who Are You, Where Are You, And Which Ultrabeast Is To Be Your Lover?

Personal Middle Family (Hispanic Woman's Name), Santo Diablo City (Central America), Diablo (Giganotosaurus Ultrabeast With Flame Powers.)

You are Personal Middle Family, and you are honored to be chosen to be Diablo's bride. Despite that he is called Diablo he is anything but a devil unless you are speaking of being devilishly handsome... Diablo has a very unusual set of abilities, being able to not only grow and shrink as can most ultrabeasts but actually change shape. he can take on the form of any of the men who have worn the mantle of the 'Demon Prince' of central America, which is far higher a number than in other areas. In fact, "Diablo" 'dies' every half dozen years or so, choosing to let his sons kill him rather than **** his children. In point of fact, only about 5 of his sons have died at his hands, and each and every one of them was a hideous person in terms of their personality, prone to all manner of truly EVIL behaviors, such as being a pederast or serial killer. Even his one daughter who transformed was allowed and encouraged to fight and kill him: one of the few times you have heard of that a 'Bonus Daughter' fought and killed her sire, and the only time you know of where, having done so, she became a female copy of her father's get.

Now, why is the "King of Central America" known as 'Diablo' if he is nearly a saint among ultrabeasts? The answer to that is simple, he was named before the taming of the Ultrabeasts and the name has stuck, as they are wont to do.

The reason Diablo was named Diablo during the Years of Encroaching Darkness was that he LOOKS diabolic and has powers of fire and flame. With Red and Black tiger stripes on his scales, great horns jutting from his head above his eyes, and two mighty arms with four-fingered hands that sport claws like sickles, Diablo LOOKS like a demon. Before he was tamed he behaved like one too, killing parents but leaving their children to wander the land as orphans, preferentially smashing churches, and setting towns ablaze with gouts of fire, it seemed to many that he was the Devil Himself. The title 'El Diablo' was appended to him by the reporters within days of his appearance and has never left him. However, when Diablo was tamed he looked on all he had done in horror, and dedicated his life, er, lives, thereafter to mending the damage he had caused.

Diablo is a lord of the volcano and the flame. Though he can summon great gouts of fire from nothing and surround himself with a blazing aura of fire that will even melt rock he rarely does so, for he has built a realm at peace. Central America was prone to instability and poverty before the Years of Encroaching Darkness, but this is no longer the case. Diablo's benevolent Royacy has stabilized the region, though there is still some conflict with both South and North America who wish to send their troops and ships through the passage that is Diablo's realm. The ships are allowed if they are strictly mercantile and in accordance with the rules set forth by Gaia for an acceptable level of human technology, but the roads and canal are barred to their troops, for Diablo is a man of peace and detests warfare. Of course, it is said, "If you want peace, prepare for war," and "The Realm of the Fire Lizard" does so.

At both north and south of Diablo's realm lies "The Great Bastions of Peace", immense lines of volcanic mountains conjured by Diablo's magic. The mountains make the passage from the old areas of the Yucatan, Mexico, and Columbia very dangerous, and no invasion of The Realm of the Fire Lizard has ever met with anything but a disaster. Even so, the Legions of the Fire King are strong and well trained, with obsidian edged swords and atlatl for throwing spears. Diablo also has special dispensation from the All-Mother to maintain a small and sustainable iron and machine industry to keep the Panama Canal open and operational: for which many praise him.


Now we return to you, the protagonist. You are young and newly called to the role of a Warrior. There is a calling for a new Warrior once every three years or so, and Diablo does not discriminate nearly as much as most ultrabeasts, any woman from the age of 18 to the age of 27 may participate in the trials. Yours was a fairly hotly contested calling, 105 women and girls stood up to the call, but by the end of it only you remained. Just turned 19 yesterday you have traveled for a month across the central American jungles and fields to reach the Capital City of "Santo Diablo" on the former Honduras/Nicaragua border. Along the way, you have been showered with gifts and presents, including a wedding dress sewn with over fifty pounds of pearls.

Tomorrow is your wedding to Diablo, who will appear in one of his human guises. You have memorized all the paintings of the former firstborn sons of Diablo, all the human forms he could wear, (Yes, even the one daughter who became a new Diablo, it is not unknown for him to use that as a ringer...) and this is your final test, three grooms will present themselves, it is your task to recognize the one who is Diablo...

But first, you must sleep, and then oversee the preparations at the Grand Cathedral of Santo Diablo. They make very sure the bride is stressed and flustered when she makes her choice, for her life will be quite stressful thereafter and it must be assured that she can handle herself...

What Is Your Last Night As A Maiden Like?
