Chapter 1: The Beginning
Once long ago, there was a realm not unlike earth, it was mainly populated by demons. It was called Surda. It had a fair and fearsome King, his name was Aryn. He had ruled for many years, by his side was his beautiful, but human, queen Leora.
Aryn had three sister, Serenity, Trinity and Felicity. Being the oldest he became heir, but they wanted that power. One day the sisters planned to overthrow him, that day in particular was the birth of his first child, a girl. This is where our story begins.
Aryn paced in front of the closed doors that lead to his bed chambers. Inside he could hear the strained cries of his mate, he had to reign in his urge to break down the door.
He wrung his hands in his worried state.
"Majesty," he turned to a small female demon with long pink hair in a braid and golden eyes. "Do not fear, it does take a bit to birth a child. And she is human."
"It's hard to settle my nerves," Aryn replied running a hand through his shaggy silver hair. "I worry that having MY child will be too much."
"She is strong, which is why we approved of her," she smiled widely at him.
"Thank you, mother," he sighed and collapsed into a chair that was placed here for just that purpose.
There was a small creak, as the door opened to admit a nursemaid who wore a large smile, though she looked tired. "Your majesty, she's here."
He bounded from his seat into the room, he stopped short when he laid eyes on his mate. She looked extremely tired, and she held a tiny pink bundle in her arms.
"Aryn, come meet your daughter," Leora said softly, gesturing to the child in her arms. Once he made it to his girls, he was handed the bundle. He took it gingerly, afraid to break the little baby resting inside.
He stared down at the baby, her silvery hair matched his, on her head were tiny silver cat ears. They swiveled with each sound. "She's perfect." He breathed.
There was a small knock. "May I come in?" They turned to see Aryn's mother, Lena, poking her head in.
"Of course," Leora replied smiling widely. Lena walked over to her son.
"May I?" She held out her arms. He handed the baby over silently, before sitting on the bed and drawing Leora into his arms. "These ears are quite adorable," she smiled as she tweaked one gently. "What's her name?"
"Well we've had two picked out for awhile," Leora replied smiling, she couldn't stop if she tried right now. "Aurelia or Amelia."
"Aurelia suits her better," Aryn mused.
"I agree," Lena handed the baby back to Leora. The babe was getting fussy. She opened her eyes and looked around with golden eyes matching her father's and grandmother's. "My first granddaughter."
Suddenly it felt like a strong breeze was rolling in, although the windows were closed. There was a shriek, then complete silence.
Leora gripped her husband's shirt tightly. "Aryn what-" the door burst inward, interrupting her.
"How kind of you to invite us," a voice sneered. In walked three women, each had shoulder length pink hair and purple eyes. The only way to tell them apart were the colors of their dresses. Red, purple and teal.
"We would love to see the baby," the one in purple purred.
"Enough Trinity," the purple girl scowled at Lena.
"You would side with him," she crossed her arms, "mother."
"I do not side with any of you," Lena scowled. "Parents do not take favorites."
"That's bull," the one in teal scoffed.
"Felicity play nice," the one in red said a wicked smile in place. "We just came to see our niece."
"How did-" Leora stopped short as the three women glared at her.
"Lowly human, how dare you speak to us." Serenity, in red, sneered. "You ascend to the throne, and you ruin our bloodline with filth."
"You were not invited for precisely this reason," Aryn growled, his eyes flashing dangerously.
"Why did you approve of a human, when I gave you a full blooded demon grandchild," Serenity scowled heavily. "But instead you choose him, as always, and had my child taken from me."
"I have no such power," Lena replied. Despite her short stature she was quite fearsome. "If your child disappeared it is entirely your fault."
"Well we will take the throne back," Trinity smirked. She turned to each of her sisters, holding her hands out to them.
"I have something to do first," Serenity said glaring at Leora. "This child will not be allowed to live if my child, my Kai, is gone."
Leora pulled Aurelia into her chest, her heart beating furiously in her chest.
"Touch my daughter and I will not hesitate to kill all three of you," Aryn growled in a territorial way.
"Brother you are acting like quite the mongrel," Felicity laughed humorlessly.
Lena walked over to Leora, placing an arm on her shoulder. "Do not fear, you and the baby will be safe. I'm sending you away, to my son's trusted friend, she will take care of you both."
"I won't-"
"Leora make sure she is safe," Aryn said from his position in front of them, he never glanced at her. "I will take care of these three."
The last thing Leora saw was Aryn running at his sisters, then she felt a sharp pain in her lower back, then blackness.

Meanwhile in Azerath, Queen Arella was playing with her two year old daughter. She could hear some whispering, but there was no source for the sound.
"Find her," the whispering said. "She's hurt."
"Miranda, would you look after Rachel for a bit," she swept out of the room as a young woman nodded.
"Where is she?" She asked the whispering.
"In the gardens," she hurried down many hallways, until she made it to the back of the palace.
She looked around but didn't see anything. She walked to the middle, and then she could hear a baby's cry.
"A baby," she pushed herself faster until she came upon a heap, where the cries were coming from.
The heap moved, it turned out to be a human woman. She had long orange hair and pale blue eyes. "Please...we need...Aryn...Aurelia..." Her eyes rolled back and she collapsed again.
Arella looked at the woman's arms and saw the bundle where she found a crying baby girl. She closed her eyes and reached out to the nearest person. "Come quickly, there's someone injured in the gardens."
Soon there was a rush of people, the mother was taken to the healing ward, while Arella took the baby. She walked back to Rachel, cooing at the baby who laughed.
"Mama," a little girl came around the corner, her little blue dress swishing lightly. "Mama, where baby come from?"
"Her mama is hurt, so we'll take care of her until her mama is better," Arella said kneeling to Rachel's level.
"Ok, what her name?"
"Aurelia," Arella smiled at Rachel as she tried to sound out the name.
"Aria?" Rachel said, unable to quite say the name.
"Very good Rachel," Arella patted her on the head. "Let's take the baby to the nursery, she's tired." As if on cue the baby yawned.
As they walked Rachel pulled on her mother's skirt lightly. "Mama, why she has kitty ears?"
"That's her trait as half demon," Arella said. "Like you're half demon."
"So we're like?" Rachel asked with wide eyes. Arella nodded.
"All right," she placed the baby into the empty crib and turned to Rachel. "It's time for you to take a nap too."
Rachel immediately got crocodile tears, "but I not tired." She negated her words as she rubbed her eyes.
"Well lay down any way, you might be surprised." Arella smiled as Rachel relented and crawled into her small bed.
"Ok mama," she curled up under the blanket and fell asleep.
Arella left the room, leaving her attendant in charge. She soon found herself in the healing ward.
"How is she?" She asked one of the healers.
"She's lost a bit of blood, but she will ultimately survive."
"That's good, have you heard anything from Surda?" Arella asked.
"No ma'am," she shook her head.
Arella walked over to an observation window, she watched as the healers worked. "When can I speak with her?"
"They will be waking her soon my lady," the healer replied.
"Thank you," the healer left. She waited until the last healer left the isolation room. She walked in as the woman came to.
"Where am I?" The woman asked groggily. "Where's my baby?" She began to to cry hysterically.
"Calm yourself," Arella said steadily. "You are in Azerath, your child is in my nursery with my daughter."
"Azerath, that's where she sent me?" The woman asked, tears rolling down her cheeks. "They attacked, and I don't even know if he's alive."
"I haven't heard anything yet," Arella spoke softly, moving closer. "What is your name?"
"Leora," the woman sniffled. "Please someone has to help him."
"Help who?"
"Aryn," Leora said. "His sisters are too powerful all together."
"Aryn?" Arella's eyes widened. "I must speak with my seer. Rest, I will have your baby brought in soon."
"Thank you," Leora said genuinely as she closed her eyes again.
"What is it you seek my lady?" Arella sat across a table from a withered woman, with aged white hair.
"What has happened in Surda?"
"The King has been overthrown, he has been sealed." The woman spoke in her crackly voice. "In sixteen years, the worlds will align. The child must fight to regain what she lost. But a warning comes with this, if she does not embrace every part of who she is, she will fail. Those who love her will be the key to victory."
"What does that mean?" Arella asked.
"It means, you will know when the time comes." And then the room was empty, and Arella sighed.
