Subject: A Introduction to this Story and an Explanation that in the Future will be Much Needed
This is a story based on the world of Hyrule and the characters of the world of Hyrule and of a world of my own personal composition, Szl Meaplx Yonvxui. This is a phrase the late humans of the Post War of the Deity Brothers Age use to describe the ruined remains of The Shadonian Empire. This is the previously prosperous land of the Shadow Demons. A race of demons that was created in the Second Age of Humans. A brilliant scientist or alchemist as he was called had managed to find a way to merge demons. He took the best traits from all the known demons and combined them to create a perfect army. However, the creatures he created turned on him and he died in painful agony. Then, the creatures disappeared in almost no time after the scientist was killed. About seventy years passed and the creatures were not seen, but then, there was a mysterious line of deaths throughout the humans' society. The King of the humans was distressed beyond hysteria as he saw his people diminish. Villages were destroyed and reports of a large force of dark creatures traveling throughout the Kingdom being omens of death leaving destruction in their wake. The King sent out a force of one thousand men to stop them but to no avail. The creatures destroyed, no, annihilated the army with little or no casualties. There was no survivors on the human side. The dark creatures were none other than the creatures that the alchemist had created seventy years ago. They traveled to the capital of the human kingdom. The demons killed all of the humans they found. Although the human army attempted to defend the city. They failed. The king and queen escaped, however, the young princess was forgotten. The demons found her and a fight broke out between the two that found her. One wanted to kill her and make it painful. The other wanted to keep her and raise her as his/her own. The reason I say his/her is because the gender of the savior is not known and has not been known. The two demons clashed with words until finally one decided to strike. Which one struck first is not known but the physical fight was finally won by the savior. They took the baby princess to the leaders of the demons. These were the demons first created by the alchemist who had merged the first demons successfully. Both agreed that the child could be a useful weapon against the humans. The demons raised her to hate, no, loathe humans as much as a Shadow Demon, as they had to come to call themselves. The demons had inhabited and rebuilt the capital of the previous human kingdom. They took the previously human lands and made themselves an empire. Soon they controlled almost half the known world. Finally, when the girl the demons had taken in was at the age of seventeen the demons sent her to be their assassin. She was trained in the most physically demanding martial arts and the most potent of poison making, but, her most lethal skill was her magical and demonic power. You might ask how a human had received demonic power, and I will answer. When she was at the age of five her arm was torn off as she was climbing a mountain for her master as a training exercise. So the Shadow Demon who cared for her cut off his own arm and used the ancient merging method to attach the arm. The procedure put the female human through so much pain that she fell into a coma for four entire months. When she awoke she realized the full potential of this new arm. She now could summon the demonic power of Shadow Demons to answer her every whim. Well, most of her every whims, the arm could not make her full Shadow Demon, nor could it transform into the various shapes and sizes she had seen other Shadonian citizens utilize. Although these were limitations she was no where near unappreciative for the arm. She grew to be very beautiful and feminine even for a human. She had long black locks of hair that flew in the wind and had a dark hue of violet for her irises. She had a normal build for a female human body, though slightly taller. She was perfect in how she could manipulate others and for the task the Shadow Demons set before her. When the task of assassinating anyone, sorry, any HUMAN the Emperor or Empress commanded. The Emperor and Empress were, as you could guess, the original leaders of the Shadow Demon army that wiped out most of the human kingdom. So, the female human was sent to the reestablished human kingdom and one by one assassinated V.I.P.'s in each, what is the word, country. With each death she made it so that the countries would turn on each other and cause a war. The plan was going perfectly, until one of her targets figured her out and captured her. She was thrown into a dungeon and awaited trial. Eventually, the Shadow Demons heard about this and sent out a group of twenty who hurried to save her. However, when the demons got to the dungeon she had already been executed. The demons returned with empty hands and no girl. Another few thousand years passed. The Shadonian Empire was flourishing. Almost all had forgotten the girl. There was a new Emperor and Empress. In fact, in the few thousand years the empire went through five dictators. Not through age did they die but in combat. Combat wit h several other races of demon. The emperor had two children of two mothers. One wife a pure Shadow Demon, unfortunately, she had been murdered by a centipede demon tribe after her child was born. The second child was born to a human mother, she had died in child birth. Thus, the second child was a half demon and was quickly thrown out of the capital city of the Shadonian Empire. Now he was married to a Dragon Demon, who was his slave until he fell in love with her. She was about to have his third child. It had been two hundred years since he had his first child and forty since his second. You may say ''What, TWO HUNDRED YEARS", well you should know that Shadow Demons can live for a extremely long time. The longest life recorded so far is, about six thousand years. When he had his child it was a boy. He saw it was full demon but not full Shadow Demon. You might ask how can he be full demon but not full Shadow Demon. It is because of his mother. She is full Dragon Demon and half her genes go into the child. Thus, because the father is full Shadow Demon, and his genes go into the baby, the child was half Dragon and half Shadow Demons. Otherwise known as in the ancient human language, Kimatash. This is a term used to describe a being of two demon origins. One year after the child was born the emperor died in battle. After a large debate, it was chosen that the child's uncle was to be the steward of the empire. This worked perfectly with the uncle's corrupt plan. He used this opportunity to rid himself of child and sent the child to a remote area with no supplies so it would die. The child however was found by humans who took him in. They raised the boy as their own. The boy looked almost human. The only problem was his crimson red eyes and his silver black hair. He also had long claw like nails and sharp fang like teeth. Aside from that and a few other abnormalities he looked human. The humans who found him had received a letter with their finding of him that explained all this. The boy's name was Crudro. He lived at the humans' home unknowing was his real origin for fourteen years. Then the village he lived in with the humans burnt down. Crudro ran from the town after watching everyone died and seeing he couldn't help after that I will not tell you anything for if I did that you would have no suspense in this story at all.
