Chapter 1 - Calm before the storm

The screams of the remaining survivors were deafening. As everyone ran with their only destination being life, As most people desperately tried to get themselves and their families away from the monsters attacking the village. Most of them abandoning their elderly and young to get to the safety of the forest. Only to be ripped apart by the limbs that used to protect them.

An ear shattering roar cuts through the night sky cutting through the screams of the damned. The familiar roar coming from a high ranking daemon named a Thilyl.(thigh-lil) As it lands in the middle of the village, causing giant craters and fire to appear anywhere the creature stood. It's eerie light absinth skin glowing from the toxins that sat right underneath the skin. It's terrifying light reaching to even the far edges of the village casting a blanket of light to cover any and all who tried the runway.

Those who understood the light meaning let out cries of resignation; one of their worst fears being answered. It would normally take about eight holy knights or five magi to even take down an adolescent Thilyl. Let alone an adult with it's mated pair. Regular swords were useless against it's toxic skin as it would burn anything and everything it would come in contact with.

It was in the destruction of the country of Sriythiles (SrI-the-les) where the Thylils followed under the command of their queen and was made into a ¥ class daemon after the clipped daemon swooped in and began to destroy anything in its wake. Fortunately or unfortunately it wasn't a mated pair attacking them that day and; While The holy kingdom of Sriythiles fought bravely their white porcelain walls not standing a chance against the anguish, rage and remorse of the demon as it finally found its fated and hatchlings corpses struck down by an abandoned holy blade underneath the lake that once sat in the middle of the village of standing water.

Anguish in its eyes he turns and makes its way further into the village he leaves behind nothing but ruble and a trail of purgatory fire releasing a lone long heazrtwrentched roar . As another roar answers its brothers call from beneath the ground itself. Earthquakes quakes from the sheer loudness of the combined despair. Completely eradicating whatever ground was left on the left side of the village.

As one of the most carnivorous £ class daemons erupted from the ruins. It's razor sharp teeth being one of the first things appearing before it's reptilian mouth opens exposing oozing acid before completely swallowing the leftovers of what was once an orphanage. The tall white brick building was once the pride of the whole village being one of the first things built in the villages beginning. The first Umibozu (water priest) declaring that any lost child would be able to make a home under his homage no matter it's past or lineage was now falling to absolute rubble. The children's scream now coming from inside the ravenous Linase. (Lin-ace)

As the Linase long yellowish teeth punctured the building killing most of the little ones by squirting out its acid into the rooms of those sought the building out for safety. In hopes to just hide and get away from the monsters sung in tales by the old oba-chans in candy stores. Running and hiding in closets or under the bed. One particularly small child that couldn't have been older than 2 hiding under her cover trying to block out the screaming from outside by pressing her hands against her ears softly crying out for a mother she never knew. Not seeing the impending talons that sat just outside her window until it had already pierced into the once glorious building....Their little high pitched screams only echoing for only 45 seconds. The ones who were captured alive were automatically eaten by the Thylil.(thigh-lil) Their blood calling more and more daemons and demons to come through the Kytherias.

The dark eerie green summoning portal was once again expanding to let in more low ranking demons through completely obliterating any buildings standing at the entrance of the village by causing anyone hiding to try to flee into the surrounding forest.

Only to be met by the hundreds of demons that had already come.

"HELP ME!!" screamed a young pregnant woman who had finally made it to the edge of the forest in hopes of refuge before quickly being devoured by three Yaeranque. (Ya-ran-Que)

As less and less 'food' was available in this village and more demons came through the portal. They had begun to split up into three groups, one heading towards the sea, another for the valleys hidden in the rocks, the last and largest was heading for the middle of the ile.

Where the heart of the ile is. .

"Taichou!!!" Screamed a young blonde boy no older than fifteen who was dressed in full armour. Running straight towards Captain Cedric trying to make sense of how just this morning he was getting off of work and heading home to nap before getting ready to date along with his fiancé Ilthri. (Ill three) Only to wake up to the drums sounding the tunes of war and half of his village eradicated and his fiancé nowhere in sight.

"D-Daemons are attacking the village Taichou, all of the Olanolan and Dindin(East and south) districtsdistrict are both gone! Th-they're gone! Everyone's gone!!" Valet screamed out of breath his once tan face draining more of color as his heart seemed to try to exit his chest through his throat as he gazed at exactly what was awaiting behind his captain.

His large heart A large lump constricted his throat before he was able to yell any type of warning to his beloved captain who was fighting with his five year old son in his arms in an attempt to get at least one of his children out of this slaughterhouse. Not seeing the Volvque before it was too late as the ¥ class daemon pierced through both his golden armour and precious child. Not even getting the chance to utter any apologies before being guzzled down by the reason for his demise.

Leaving Valet left standing in the same place as if frozen in time. Dropping to his knees as dozens of both low ranking demons and high ranking daemons unknowing surround him. His final scream of anguish not having the chance to leave his lips as a long dark maroon arm reached out from the edge of the forest. Grabbing the poor child and crushing his spine spewing his blood everywhere before dragging his screaming corpse deep into the forest. Not minding the lesser demons pinching off any limbs they can get they hands on before the deformed corpse landed in its maroon mouth.

The overall battle didn't last more than six minutes before the whole village was overwhelmed and destroyed. The leftover demons, mostly low ranking goblins and other bottom feeder demons, were killing,torturing…and deflowering anything that was left over from the daemons before finishing the job and carrying on to the next village. Making sure to leave nothing left before their lords came to this god forsaken plane.

All other eight villages were destroyed just as fast, the whole island being overrun in the matter of 30 minutes. Before the portal exploded with an immense amount of power the dark green lighting until a light green demon circle appeared on top of it.

A tall dark silhouette walked out of the demon circle exposing bright midnight black hair and a matching long trench coat. The only thing you would be able to see were the brilliant purple eyes that sparkled like galaxies against their black sclera. Not even sparing glancing at the destruction in front of him he begins to slowly lift his eyes to the moon. Staring at it as if it would answer all of his unspoken secrets and grant him his heart's darkest desires.

"Imouto,"he called out softly, as if setting caution to the wind. "I'm coming."
