'Hell is empty and all the devils are here.' -- Williams Shakespeare --- "Should I dip my hands in holy water so I can touch you?" His breath fanned her neck as he spoke close to her ear, causing an anxious shiver to run down her spine. Her eyes widened before narrowing slightly. "You are crazy." She whispered back with a shaking voice. "Why?" He asked, awed. His eyes now staring at her. "Because you would get burned." --- Opposites attract. That’s what everyone says, but light and darkness are two very contrasting entities. Annabelle is the perfect definition of pure and innocent, while on the other hand, Kione is the opposite of that—dark and a devil with an angelic appearance. Too forbidden to be a perfect match.

In a world full of light and hope, Ray had always questioned his existence, his purpose, his will. Ray as a kid had no parents, he was a poor orphan and as long as he could remember he never even saw his parents, he was surviving out of his own will and power. As time passed on ray came to find happiness as he was adopted by the mistress of the red plains. Since she was infertile and couldn't give birth, she always longed for a kid to raise and ray came to be that child. She gave ray the childhood he never thought of. Life went on until the tragic day where everything fell dark for him. Someone and a specific someone wanted the red mistress to die and apparently the whole mansion got attacked in the deadly night. Everyone massaqured except ray of whom the assassin's showed great intrest in and took him back to the asassin master. You see ray had posssesd great affinity for wind control and the assassins could use it but inorder to get ray to obey they had to erase all his memories and hypnotized him into thinking he is an elite weapon only available to the Assassins. They made him believe that he was the son of the asassin master and had to do anything and everything to carry out their order. That was the rise of shade, the most ruthless asassin known to mankind. The once kind and nice boy now a savage and unruly asassin who lives off of killing.Shade continued the great work until his name was far and wide, making people be scared of his mention. Shade was so ruthless he would kill his victims in broad daylight as people watched in horror and those who stood agaisnt him payed the same price. Onw day shade gets sent on a mission to assassinate scarlet, princess of the amulate kingdom, currently she was on a ship and with her she had the amulet of Talos, which as you would expect of a relic has great untapped power. The assassin master wanted the amulet so he sends shade, his new son to go and fetch it for him. Upon arriving on the ship shade kills everyone and right as he is about to asassin the princess he sees a familiar face, the face of mistress and stops creating a small time slip for scarlet to escape, and since she had water affinity, she travels to the nearest island and the whole ship blows up. Shade wakes up and finds himself in the same island and finds himself weaponless, his weapons taken by scarlet who saved him and now takes him hostage. Turns out the amulet can supress elemental affinities, making shade powerless and weaponless agaisnt the princess. Now stuck in a far away island and being kept hostage by a familiar face will ray regain his memories or will he finish his mission and kill the princess while returning the amulet to his enemies.

Warning… Matured content. “Look at me,” he commanded, his eyes boring into her like black pits of venom. Lilith’s chest tightened as she stared at the floor and the room seemed to shrink around her. “Dinner with the devil is one thing. Staring at the embodiment of evil itself…quite another.” Dracula’s smirk widened, his fingers squeezing Lilith’s chin. “Oh, and do I frighten you, little one?” His eyes burned into her, piercing her soul like daggers “You see now the truth of my power. You thought you could challenge me, toying with my affections as though I were some lovesick puppy.” Lilith sighed, because despite the darkness that swirled around her, she found herself unafraid of Dracula. “Now, look at me, and speak what you have beneath your heart,” he commanded. Lilith’s chin lifted with a surge of defiance. "Dracula Beelzebub. You are nothing but a monstrous abomination." she hissed, her voice dripping with disdain. "A fiend of the lowest caliber, unworthy of even a moment of my time." Dracula raised an eyebrow as he smirked, impressed by her insults. "And yet, you cannot deny that I am the most powerful being in this room." Lilith sneered. "Yo… You deserves to be banished back to the bowels of Hell." Dracula smiled, his teeth white in the flickering candlelight. "Ah, but where’s the fun in that? I much prefer making life interesting for the mortals." Lilith's hands curled into fists at her sides, and she took a step forward. “Interesting?" she spat. "You call torment and misery ‘interesting’? You are a demon, feeding off the misery and pain of others." Dracula chuckled, spreading his arms wide in a gesture of mock surrender. "And what of it? What do you intend to do about it, little mortal?" ~~~~~ Meet Lilith Raziel, a young, beautiful orphan who was born blind. However, when a mysterious creature appears in the woods, Lilith’s life is turned upside down. Her world shifts from darkness to one filled with mystical creatures and the secrets of the underworld. On the other hand, lurking in the shadows, lies Dracula Beelzebub, a devilishly handsome man who relishes in the misery and demise of others. Beneath his charming façade lies a dangerous secret—Dracula Beelzebub is the devil incarnate. And he has set his sights on Lilith Raziel, a woman he’s determined to ensnare in his diabolical plans. _"To love a demon is to have your soul bound in chains of darkness.” — Lucifer’s Inferno.
