Blue eyes gazed up at the blood-red moon. Humans knew of "scientific" causes for the phenomenon, but to many supernatural creatures, it was called the Blood Moon. The Blood Moon signified two things: A week of extreme strength, and the need to feed. The Moon's call was impossible to avoid.

Vampires who normally distanced themselves from humans would find their lust for blood nearly insatiable. Weres would turn more animalistic when in human form, and when in animal form, they would loose all human conscience. It also signified a third thing for those of full maturity: the time to find a mate. The owner of the blue eyes sighed gratefully, thankful that he was not yet of age. Mates were, quite honestly, annoying things, and once you had one, you were stuck with them for the rest of their life. Their life, because if they died, then you could find a new one.

Cross-Race and Cross-Sin matings were frowned upon, something considered rather hypocritical, seeing as all of the Seven Deadly Sins were half demon, half human. He himself was a demon-human hybrid, however, he was not the product of a mating, merely a physical reminder of the fact that his mother, a lust demon, was not as careful as she should have been in seducing her target.

He may have been a half-demon, but he was in training as Reaper. He absent-mindedly twirled his scythe in his fingers as he began to recite to himself once again.

"My name is Shard.

My mother is the lust demon Sypera, and my father is an unnamed human. I am a Reaper-in-Training, and my current mission is to find the missing Princess of Hell, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, and deliver my message."
