Prologue/Demons 101:

Third Person:

There beyond the stars, laid more mystery than anyone can even imagine. It was there beyond the stars, beyond the Earth, beyond everything, that another dimension laid. It was a pleasant dimension that was seemingly endless in land with blood red skies mixed with other shades of oranges and bright red with dark green grass. There were two suns and three moons each day and night. At night, the sky was black, but every single moon and each star was perfectly visible to the naked eye. The trees were silver with deep red roses that seemed to ooze red liquid. The flowers on the ground were all black, yet the river water was pure white- almost clear.

There were many huts and villages throughout the land, every demon there lived in almost harmony aside from a few things. Alas, there was only but one large castle where King Daibhail lived with his Queen and his beautiful princess. Now, demons themselves were very interesting.

Demons have many ethnicity- Irish, English, American, and even African were living in peace. Each demon had an ethnicity- they were a diverse race after all. Aside from the ethnicity, demons differed in looks. Some demons had more natural looking skin colors while others had red, blue, or even light blue skin. Some demons even had horns that differed in sizes, colors, and shapes. Some demons had tails that had fur or scales. Some even had leathery or feathery wings that differed in sizes. All demons, however, had long hair that was oddly colored, long black nails that seconded as nails, fangs and unnaturally colored eyes.

Despite the difference in appearances, they had the same basic powers. Each one had two forms- their true demon form and their human disguise that would turn their hair, eyes, skin (depending on the demon) and nails into something more natural as well as get rid of any horns, wings, or tails if any. Of course, the most obvious thing that made them different from humans were their powers. Half-blood demons that were half human and half demon. Their powers were limited, being able to just manipulate emotions and a few were able to do minor mind control or create fire, making them the weakest of the demons. The next class of demons were the ones that were once human, but were turned into demons. They were more powerful than half-blood, being able to use all of their demonic powers, but not able to access its full potential. Pure blood demons, however, were something to truly be feared. They had the ability to shadow travel, dream visitation, astral projection, create black mist and/or fire, creating and controlling black lightening, reading minds, minor mind control, and manipulation along with the ability to detect lies.

Now, despite popular belief, most demons were peaceful. Granted, they had short-tempers and usually didn't like people- demons' attitudes and personalities differed. For the most, they were peaceful though. They even obeyed their King and the royal family who were all of noble demon blood. The royal family came from a long line of pure demons. They were the most powerful of all the demons, yet they ruled fairly despite some of the fear that their people had towards them.

Among the royal family was Maudhnait Daibhail (though she was just Mai for short), the princess, and only child of Lord Daibhail. She was beautiful, and caring. Unlike most demons, she actually found a fascination with the humans. She enjoyed them for the most part.

It was that fascination that led her to a portal, a mere week after her thirtieth birthday, landing her in a very strange world...
