Somewhere far, in a world divided in three realms. Up in the clouds was the Sky Realm. The people who lived there were known to be the prettiest of all. Their eyes were the same color as the sky and their hair were as pale as the clouds themselves. On the ground was the Earth Kingdom. The people there were hard workers who fought endlessly to gain more and more. Their eyes were the colors of the leaves on the trees and their hair as dark as the ground they were walking on. Deep in the ground, were no sunbeam could be seen was the Shadow Land. The people there were called demons and were known to be a laid back persond who lived day by day. Their eyes were as dark as the night sky and their hair darker than the deepest part of the ocean.

Each Realm lived accordingly to their own rules and their own ways. They lived in harmony for centuries, that is until the Earth Kingdom decided to take over all the realms. Fearing the powers of the two other realm.

A war broke out and the human race was nearly exterminated. The Sky Realm and the Shadow Land both went deep in their realm, cutting ties with the rest of the world.

Centuries went by and the Earth Kingdom slowly forgot about its nearest neighboors. The Sky Realm and the Shadow Land became legends amongst the humans...

Chapter one.

When I woke up that day I felt strangely uneasy. The lights on the wall next to my bed were glowing gently. I lifted my hand and waved it. The lights got stronger and I got up. I stretched my arms in the air and sighed.

"Another new day to be bad!" I said with a devilish smile. The dark wooden door opened slowly and my maid, Hatta, came in. Her horns were glowing in the dark and her dress was floating behind her as she came running towards me with a huge smile on her face.

"Milady! Milady! You have to wake up! The King as return!" She said hurriedly.

I openned my eyes wide, surprised. "He is? Then I need to dress quickly!" I said as I went towards my wardrobe. I slamed it open and looked for something nice to wear. I found a pair of dark boots with light purple pants. I took the matching tunique and started to dress up.

"Do you think Kileon came back too?" I asked nervously. I could hear the smile in her voice as she replied, "I do believe so, yes."

Kileon was my best friend, and also my own personnal guard. He had to leave with my father, the King, for a meeting with the Sky Realm leader, a few weeks ago and I missed him more than I was able to say. All done with the clothing, I hurriedly took the hair brush sitting on the desk on my left and started to brush my long black hair. I had the hair from my father, from my demon side, but my fair skin and bright purple eyes were coming from my mother, whom I never saw. One day, my father came back from the battlefield with a tiny baby in his hands claiming it to be his. I was raised here in the Shadow Land for the last five hundred years as the Shadow Princess. The King never talked about my mother and I was never allowed to ask about her.

I put back the brush on the desk and turned to face Hatta. "How do I look?" I asked nervously.

"You look as amazing as usual, your Highness." She replied with a smile. I took a deep breath and headed out of my room. I followed the dark blue rug on the floor and felt the cold breeze around me. I turned my head on the side and saw Hatta shiverring. I let out a small amount of power and I could see her feeling more comfortable as it got warmer around me.

"I thank you, your Highness." she said shyly.

"Mm? I don't know what you're talking about." I replied with sarcasm. She blushed and cleared her throat. I was starting to hear people chat further away and I knew I was getting closer. A few more steps and I was now coming in the assembly hall. The walls here were twenty feet high, made out of the rocks from the ground itself. Crystals were seen here and there on the walls, shining brightly under the artificial lights. Sitting on the throne at the end of the room, was my father, the King. He was still wearing his traveling clothes, a black cloak still on his broad shoulders. His short black hair was messy and I guessed that it was pretty windy outside today. As he heard me coming, he looked up and smiled .

"Isn't it the little rascal coming in?"

I ran and jumped in his arms, smiling too. I hid my nose in his neck and took a deep breath in. My long dark purple tail was wagging as I was happy to see him. I felt his arms around my waist and I closed my eyes, at ease.

"Welcome home." I said while jumping down from his knees. Father was twice my size and was far much stronger too.

I suddenly heard a small woosh from behind and lifted up my arm to defend myself. I turned around, smiling. "Kileon!" He was standing there, a huge smile on his face. He shut his dark grey feathered wings and got closer. I jumped in his arms too, glad to see him back. He wrapped his arms around me and held me up. His dark blue eyes were shining under the bright lights.

"Hi little one." he said laughingly as he knew I hated to be called small. Truth be told, I was rather small for a demon, but I was stronger than most of them. Small of not, I was royalty and my powers were not to be taken lightly.
