Chronicle 1: The Second Universe.
Normal POV
A young woman in her early twenty with long dark silver hair and light blue eyes was cradling a newborn baby in her arm. It was a baby boy. A healthy one too. He inherited his mother dark silver hair and light blue eyes. But he possesses an aura unlike most Devils, for you see he was also born with an Angel mix with Human blood from his father. In short, he is a mix of Angel, Devils and Human.
Then a young man with light blonde hair and golden eye who also looks in his early twenty enters the room to see her beloved wife and newborn son.
"Runa, how are you doing?"
As he got close to the young woman name Runa, she smile gently at her husband reply and said.
"I'm fine, Marcus. It's just that I'm too happy to say a word. Our baby looks beautiful and he's adorable as well. I just wanted to hold him like this in my arm forever."
"Hey now. Don't hog him all to yourself. He's my baby too."
Moments later, the two young couple's just looks at their lovely son with love and attention until Marcus said.
"What should we name him?"
"You're the dad, so you should name him instead."
Marcus pauses for a moment until he finally has an idea.
"How about Chris?"
Runa blink for a few moments in wonder then she simply smile and said.
"Chris…I like that name. From now on, you will be called our precious Chris. Isn't that right, Chris?"
The baby just smile after hearing his name and both parent couldn't be anymore happier to know their son like his given name.
Such is the life of Marcus Arclight and Runa Lucifer along with their son, Chris. Happiness is what these husband and wife sought. They only wish a life of peace and happiness for their newly born son. But unfortunately, some did not share their passion. For other only sought destruction and the misery of many. And one of this is Rivezim Vilan Lucifer, father to Runa Lucifer.
And as the saying goes, "All good things must come to an end". And definitely, it did.
In a moonlit night of the Underworld, Runa is desperately fleeing to a hidden forest far away from her father territory. Not too long ago, what should have been a happy moment for her and her husband became a tragedy of epic proportion because of a person whom she called father. Everything she ever knew and love was taken from her. Tears were streaming from her eye but she knew if they capture her, she and the baby would… so the best thing to do was run. As far away as she can, where Rivezim won't find her and her baby who she cradles with full of cares.
Finally finding a spot for her to rest. Runa slowly rested herself and lean at a nearby tree and slowly catches her breath. She then check to see if the babies alright. Chris was sound asleep. Not realizing the horror that just transpired in front of him and his mother. Runa was fortunate enough to escape with Chris but her husband weren't so lucky.
Flash Back One Hour Earlier
Marcus, who was with his wife and son, was suddenly called by one of the guard. Apparently, Rivezim requested for him to be present at the moment. So, the young man immediately replied and told her wife while placing one of his hands on her cheek that he won't be gone for long. Soon after he left Runa with the baby.
It has been twenty minute since her husband left. Runa is becoming more worried as time flies.
"Why isn't Marcus back yet? Certainly meeting with father shouldn't have taken him this long."
And so with a decision to look for her husband, Runa left her bed and took Chris with her. She was slowly walking down the hall and sooner or later she immediately sense and ominous aura coming from the main hall. Feeling that something's not right, Runa quickly rush to see what was happening. What she witness afterward would forever scarred her for life as the hall now lays the dead of Marcus's family member. Most of them whom Runa love like a real family. And at the center was Marcus himself drenching in blood and multiple fatal wounds inflicted on him. And the one he was facing was none other than Rivezim, her father.
"MARCUS! FATHER! STOP!"
Both fighter look at the direction of the voice and to their surprise Runa was there carrying Chris with her.
"Runa! Get away! You and baby are not save here! Run, NOW!"
Just as he was warning Runa about the danger. Marcus felt a sharp pain in his heart area, only to realize he was stab by Rivezim. No word could come out of Runa's mouth as she was too shock to even utter a word. Rivezim continue to plunge his arm into Marcus chest, while Marcus was painfully trying to grab hold of him arm to stop him from deepening the stab wound but to no avail. With a clod smile on his face, Rivezim launches a huge wave of demonic energy that easily passes to Marcus body. Making a deep size whole in his entire chest area.
Witnessing this, Runa scream in terror witnessing her husband murdered happening right before her very eye. In Marcus mind, all he could think of now is for Runa and his son to get away, until he finally lay lifelessly at Rivezim's feet.
Runa while tears streaming from her eye tried to run to her husband suddenly couldn't move. Realizing a magic circle was below her feet, she just looks in horror as her father slowly approaches her while giving off a sinister smile on his face. Runa with a tremble voice, ask her father about the horrendous action he did to Marcus and his family.
"Father…why…why did you killed Marcus and his family…?"
Rivezim ignores her answer and continue walking towards her direction. With sad and angry feeling filling her inside, Runa yelled out too her father the same question she asked him.
"WHY, FATHER?! WHY DID YOU KILL THEM?! WHY WOULD DO SUCH HORRID THING TO OUR FAMILY MEMBER?!"
Finally, Rivezim stop midway from where Runa's standing while his hair was covering his eye. He then gave a cold and menacing stare.
"Foolish, girl…Isn't it obvious? Because they are our enemy. And as an enemy that I don't like, I have an obligation to kill them."
Runa's eye went wide as he said that without any remorse in it whatsoever. But above all else, she now fears for the safety of her child but her fear came true when Rivezim stare evilly at his newborn grandson.
"My, my. Is that my lovely grandchild you're cradling? You save me the trouble of finding him. Now, hand him over, child…"
Realizing her father's intention, the young woman slowly steps away where Rivezim was standing. Then suddenly, Runa felt immense aura coming from Rivezim. As she looks at him, he was charging an energy sphere on both his hand.
"Are you defying me? Foolish child… no matter. I'll just have to destroy it along with you!"
With this revelation, Rivezim unleashed his attack without hesitation towards his own flesh and blood. Runa quickly block it with her own demonic power, their power were evenly match until she quick felt the strain her body just took from giving birth not too long ago. Eventually, her attacks started to weaken while Rivezim was relentlessly attacking her with his demonic energy blast, until he finally unleashed a full power of his attack. The attack was so intense, Runa's attacks were blown away and then she felt her entire body getting hit with her father's energy blasts.
Runa and Chris were sent flying to the balcony window and now both of them were falling from a high altitude. Runa was unconscious from the attack just now and both she and the baby were about to meet their demise hadn't Chris didn't cried for her mother to wake up. At almost the last second before they landed on solid ground, Runa quickly open her eyes and spread her Devils wing. She immediately flew off from the surrounding area into the Hidden Forest.
Rivezim was overlooking from the balcony while giving a calm expression. He then went back inside.
Flash Back Ends
Remembering that horrifying ordeal put the young women to tear. Not only did her father tried to kill her and Chris but what's more mortifying is the fact that her parent-in-law and Marcus, her beloved was killed. As she was mourning for her loses, she suddenly senses multiple presence in the surrounding area. She carefully inspects the area and found soldiers. They seem to be searching for her. No doubt in her mind they were sent by her father and for one thing to kill her and Chris. She carefully place Chris in a safe spot so he would be out of harm's way.
Runa then silently tried to sneak into nearby bushes when one of the soldiers saw her.
"I found her! Quickly, don't let her and the baby escaped!"
Runa quickly unleashes a barrage of demonic enemies into the large groups Devils soldier, producing a huge explosion that shakes the ground violently. After the explosion died out, she notices they were still more soldiers coming. Immediately, she charges up another attack when she suddenly felt a presence behind her. She looks back and saw a mysterious figure shooting a blast of demonic energy towards her which in the last moment she was able to counter it. The blast was so powerful that it literary blew away the surrounding trees along with all the soldiers at a far distance. Even the High Class ones were blown away by the sheer force of the two Devils attack. When both of their attacks died out, Runa was able to see who it was.
"You...!"
The figure that appears before her was one of Rivezim top commander, Primo Leviathan.
"As expected of, Lady Runa. You truly do possess you father's power."
"Primo, I demand that you explain me what my father has done! And also, are you plotting with him as well!"
Primo simply look at her and said.
"I'm sorry, Lady Runa. But I am strictly forbidden by Lord Rivezim to tell you any information regarding that. Besides…"
There was silent until Primo eye turn into that of killing intent.
"You will die before you know any of this…"
With that declaration, Primo charge up another attack to give the finishing blows to Runa. But Runa was not Devil to be underestimated. Primo shoot his attack directly at her but she easily block it using only the palm of her hand. Primo wasn't surprise considering she was one of the few Devils in the Underworld that could match a Satan level. She could easily beat any Ultimate class if she wanted but Primo knows that she's not at her full power yet due to recently giving birth to her son. And he has one factor that he could still use at his advantages.
Primo then show something that made Runa's eye went wide with fear.
"Chris!"
Primo sneer evilly at the young woman fear for the safety of her child.
"You let go of him, you bastard!"
"Let go of him…okay."
He then tossed Chris high in the sky and began charging an attack that could easily kill a weak infant like him. Runa, without a second thought swoop in and manage to grab Chris in time but Primo was expecting her to make that move and now he was behind Runa. Primo unleashes his attack at point blank as he aim the balls of energy behind Runa's back. At that instant, a huge explosion occurs. The young woman fell hard to ground but she manages to protect Chris from being hit by the ground.
Runa's back was badly injured but she herself can't move. She doesn't have that much energy left. Primo was slowly approaching the injured Runa and pointed his index finger that was already charge up for the finishing blow. But before he could move in for the kill, he heard Runa muttering something.
And at that moment flashes of white light suddenly covers her and her baby. Primo tries to shoot at them but his magic bullet was repelled back by what seems to be an invisible force field. And soon after both Runa and Chris disappears from sight. Primo just stood there and then left the area.
Meanwhile in the Second Universe
A man was sitting on a bench in a deserted park that night. He was wearing blue hoody and black trousers. He had just return from his work as a freelance reporter and was having a tin of beer. He sighs after gulping it down in one go. After that he stood up and decided to go home but then a flash of white light emerges from the sky. The light was too bright for him to see what it was but as it slowly landed on the ground he notice it was a young woman lying on her side.
He quickly went to see if she was okay.
"Hey, miss! Are you okay?! Wake up!"
He then notices blood coming from her back.
"Oh god. This young lady is injured. Who could've have done something like this?"
The man also notices that she was cradling a baby. Apparently, the baby was fine but the young lady that the man assumes as her mother wasn't. I better take her to the hospital. She's seriously wounded here. But before he could carry her. She suddenly sprouts a bat like wing from her back that quickly surprises the man.
"…What are you?"
Then he heard whisper coming from the lady.
"…Please, help me. Help my…baby…Please save him…"
"What? Miss, what ar-?"
Before he could finish his sentences, Runa once again pass out.
"Maybe I shouldn't take her to the hospital. Because, if I bring her with her current condition…normal people would be scare of what they are seeing and I can tell she's no human. Her flow of mana is irregular for even a Mage."
So the man decided it was best to take her to his apartment instead.
Two days have passed since then and now.
"Urkk, where am I? I was chanting a magic circle to escape from Primo and save Chris? Wait! Chris!"
"Chris!"
Runa immediately got up and before she realizes, she was on a bed and seemingly her clothes were change to a new one. As she to her side, there was a man with black hair gently cradling baby Chris while feeding him with some milk.
"I see that you're awake. I take it this is your baby then?"
He gently places the baby in her mother's arm and Runa was then embracing Chris with tears from her eye. Runa was glad that Chris was saved. The very thought of losing him as well not after what happened…Runa would have given up hope of ever living on if anything were to happened to her precious Chris. She then look back at the stranger and bow her head.
"I am truly grateful for what you have done, kind sir. Not only did you save me but you go to the trouble of taking care of me and my baby."
"Don't worry about it. Helping others has always been a part of me."
"Even so, thank you once again, kind sir."
The man then looks at her for the moment and then said.
"I know this may sound rude but I take it you're not human, are you?"
Runa was silent for a moment and then nods her head.
"Then, could please tell me what you are and where are you from if it's not any trouble?"
"…Yes."
After a few moments of discussion, the man then just looks at Runa after what seems to be the most strangest thing he have ever heard but at the same time it wasn't.
"So, you are a Devil that originated from the Underworld who is also the former daughter of Lucifer? And not only that, your husband entire family including him was killed by your own father?"
Runa just nods her head with his question.
"I see… I'm sorry to hear that."
"…You look so calm, kind sir. Do you not find it strange or even a lie knowing the fact I'm a Devil?"
The man just shakes his head sideway and said.
"Not really. I've seen strange things before and somehow, you are no different. Besides, I've seen the strange magic you've used, plus there is also the fact you have this insane amount of irregular mana that you have and also you sprouting bats like wings are already proving enough to me that you who you claim you are to be."
Runa could only look at him and just smile.
"Thank you."
There was moment of silence until Runa ask him.
"If I may ask, kind sir. I'm not too familiar with the atmosphere of this world. It seems different than the one I occupied. I know this is the Human World but it's totally different. And also, the fact that you said my kind was rare already gave me an impression you may not know anything about the Three Great Powers."
"I'm not sure about this Three Great Powers you're talking about but I am familiar with the Mage's Association. If they were to ever find out you were using magic like that other night when there was people around, you would have exposed the existence of my kind to the world and you would have been in serious trouble."
After hearing about this, Runa realizes that to her shock and surprises that she had mistaken the Universal travelling spell with the ordinary magic circle and right now…she was in another parallel universe different than her own.
"I made a mistake…and right now, I'm in a different world where Angel, Fallen Angels and Devils like that is only legends and the fact that the people of this world seems to be more into magic…then if that is true, maybe just maybe Chris and I can be safe in this world…far away from the nightmare that occur to us."
Tears were streaming from her eyes once again at the sudden realization that she was cast out from her world and the fact she can't no longer go back. But she knows that if she was to ever live and survive with her child then this world might give them a chance.
Though she has no living relative in this world. That alone was giving Runa a hard time but then the man that was watching her said.
"I'm not sure what really happened to you, but I can guarantee this. I will take care of you and your baby until you can find a way to go back to your real world."
Once again tears were coming out from her eye.
"Are you okay? I didn't mean to upset you or anything?"
"No…I'm just too happy. You have been helpful to me, kind sir. I can never repay you for that…"
He just gently held her hand and said.
"Matou. Matou Kariya, but you can call me Kariya. Besides, you need help and I can't abandon a woman and her baby to face the world alone. Not if that world was foreign to her."
She then looks at Kariya and just smile.
"Runa. Runa Arclight Lucifer. But you can call me Runa."
Kariya then shakes her hand and said.
"Nice to meet, Runa."
"It's also a pleasure to meet you as well, Kariya-san."
