This was inspired by the myth 'The Rape of Persephone'. The story of Hades and Persephone is one of the, if not the most well-known Greek/Roman myths out there. If you don't know the myth, you can easily Google it.

Plus combining with the awesome game BlazBlue with myths is really fun! X3

There are no god's or goddess's and there's no rape...I think...

The italics are the 'fable' part of the story – as it would be told to someone as a bedtime story or around the fire or whatever. Regular text denotes 'real-life' action/story. Not every chapter will have a 'fable' installment within it. Reviews and feedback are always welcome and much appreciated!

The Beginning

A long time ago, the world was in chaos. The demons and angels raged against one another, and the Earth itself trembled against the fury that the demons unleashed against their enemies. The elder demons were hard and cruel, while the elder angels were calm and kind, and humanity's fate laid in their hands. The demons were not kind to humans, using them for their whims and spreading destruction and misery for their own amusement. To them, the entire world was nothing but their playground. The angels taught and guided the humans. For to them all life was sacred and should be protected.

One of the most powerful elder demons of all was Bloodedge, the demon that ruled over the Demotic region. He was wise but strict and sought an end to the death and destruction which if it did not end would eventually lead to the world being ravaged of all life and later dying a feeble death in the void/

Terumi his most trusted general did not want to end the war and knew that peace would mean a huge loss of territory, so when Bloodedge was asleep Terumi sneaked into his room and killed him with his own sword.

Terumi was a sadistic and despotic demon, thriving on the bloodshed and chaos of the seemingly endless war. He led his allies in a rampage that caused the Earth itself to cry out in pain. It seemed that he would eventually destroy the world with his unquenchable hunger for blood, having already killed his own ruler in his thirst for power..

But a new order of demons rose, one that stood up against the tyranny of the old order. Bloodedge's children, Ragna, aided by his brother Jin, and sister Saya, the angels, and their allies who wanted the chaos to end, rose against Terumi and the other elder demons, and brought them down. To do this, the young demon prince challenged the traitor to a duel in single combat, and defeated and imprisoned him in a torturing device made by the Machina region designed to trap the physical body while the spirit is chained on top of a rock with a snake on a tree branch dripping acidic venom whenever it opens it's mouth, the venom drips to the flesh of the spirit burning him for eternity until his time for his execution.

But what mattered to the younger demon prince – and the others – was that the horrible war was over.

This new order of demons established itself in the world, The demons, the angels, and their allies signed a treaty for claims of their regions, although the peace was unstable because of old grudges and mistrust. One leader was appointed to each of the regions, so that they could all work together in harmony and keep their regions in balance. Noel, the leader and main figure of the forces of good, was appointed as the head of the heavenly Divi region, and she was a stern but fair woman. The Kaka's appointed their Kaka Elder as their leader in the Kaka region, for she was wise, calm, and kind. The Baifon region leaders chose Bang Shishigami, guardian of the mighty Kingdom of Kagutsuchi as their representative, for despite his annoyances and brash behavior, he was a brilliant man with a good heart. The Vamnoc region wanted Lady Rachael Alucard as their ruler, Daughter of the respected Lord Clavis Alucard, for she was beautiful, wise, and cunning. The Machina region appointed Kokonoe as their leader, she was the daughter of the war hero Jubei and demon witch Phantom. The Demon Council were torn between Ragna, Jin, and Saya, for all three were strong and of good character, filled with wisdom and having excellent control over their inner darkness. Age decided how shall rule, Ragna was the oldest and there for Demon Lord and ruler of the Demotic region, Saya was next and was head of the demon army, Jin was the youngest and served Ragna as his adviser and substitute for his throne if he's ever away. Saya and Jin conceded to Lord Ragna without the least bit of argument so that they could assist him with controlling the region. Both sides agreed to let the Humans in the Humun region choose their own leaders, for the Humans played a huge role in the war and deserved to control their own region. No side wants to control the barren, deserts of the Desdus region and the icy, cold eternal winters of the Polaris region except for a few outposts and barbarian villages.

Ragna took the throne of the Demotic region, with Jin as his adviser, and with Saya as his general. After a few years the demon lord began to become cruel, cold hearted, and begins to lose control of his inner darkness, and so he decided to isolated himself from the others. Over the years, the isolation of his lands grew. He appeared rarely, and his region became almost a legend, one whispered among the humans in other parts of the world.

The Demon Lord seemed content in his self-imposed solitude… so much so, that no one ever suspected he might be lonely.

The regions:

Demotic region- The region of the demons and the dead, main base for the forces of evil, a place where the sun barely shines and the screams of tortured souls and the laughter of demons filled the air, basically a personification of Hell with everything nearly in total darkness and a few volcanoes spitting out foul smoke.

Kaka region- The beautiful and lush region of the Kakas, the Kakas were the main allies of good because of their high resistance towards evil, the region consists of mostly grassland with a few cities and is the sanctuary for the forces of good.

Machina region- The region where science, technology, and advanced culture in the world, they are mostly neutral and are often isolated.
