Prologue.

The world is full of magicians; each of them specialized in some area. Some do alchemy, others do some sort of bending or a whole third thing. They have to go to school to learn how to control their power fully. Those who can't afford it don't become that powerful.

You would think that the rich people then would be the most powerful, but no. It was an old rule that said that rich people would have the same education as average people. It wouldn't be fair that rich people could rule just because they were born in to a lucky family. As said, the rule was old. No one really knew who had made it or when.

The magicians were human, and lived as humans now do. There were peaceful towns, great cities and different continents. Not so different from the world you know of, besides that the tools and weapons would mostly be magical. Televisions don't exist, but radios take their place.

But the humans were not the only ones who had magic powers. There were also others creatures with such skills. Like demons.

Humans feared demons. Most of them didn't even know why. It's like when you see something you find strange and abnormal, like spiders. You see it, freak out and kill it or get rid of it.

Of course humans didn't just do that without further reasons, they aren't all that cruel. Demons also tended to kill humans.

One could think that maybe they were scared for humans, like humans where scared for them? Maybe, but not likely. The demons never showed fear, or any emotion at all actually. Their actions seemed just to be true cruelty.

That being so, of course they fought each other. It was a war, but not the greatest one. They just fought or killed each other when they met. It was like a disease-relationship. Try to avoid it, and if you get sick you'll have to get rid of it.

Humans always followed that unwritten rule. Demons did too, but they tended to make ravage in cities. Why? It just seemed to amuse them.

It was mentioned earlier that most humans didn't know why they feared demons, and what had just been said must be reason enough to fear them. There was just that one thing; humans do those things to each other, and since demons looks are very similar to humans... (1)

That's how the world is. With its wonders, its beauty and ugliness. Plus and minus.

But what happens when you put plus and minus together?

In math the number you get, will still be a negative.

Would it also be like that with demons and humans? Was that why there was war between them? They were simply not capable to be with each other?

One magician was about to find out soon...


A/N: ... I'm an awful, awful, author, I know... So Sorry for the long waiting, but I honestly thought that you'd all gotten so mad at me, that you're weren't going to read my stories again. Really, I got some pretty angry reviews and heart-broken messages. I felt their pain and anger and then I just got sad! But a lot of people also supported me and backed me op! Mirazen became my personal butt-kicker, because I need people to say "Hey! Start writing! Now!!! I want my fanfic!" and she did, so thanks to her ^^

Also a great thanks to YukinoKara, my beta. She's awesome! Go read her stories! They're even better than mine!

Again - for those who are going to read this again; thanks.
