Many years ago, a kingdom had ruled the land. The king and the queen were loved by all that lived in the land. The king and the queen were also known by all as the Phoenix King and Phoenix Queen. They had many allies, including Sparda and his queen, Eva. Sparda and the Phoenix King freed humanity from the oppression of Mundus, the former Demon Emperor and Sparda's former master. After many years, the human realm was freed and with it came new light. The Phoenix Queen gave birth to a baby girl as Eva gave birth to twin sons, and celebrate their births, both kingdoms launched flying lanterns into the sky. However, Mundus had heard of the princess' birth and made an offer to the Phoenix King that when the princess came of age to wed, she would become Mundus' wife and the union would unite the demon realm and the human realm.

But after the deal was made, a demon escaped from the demon realm and kidnapped the princess. It was soon discovered that Mundus had planned to take the child even if a deal was made, so the Phoenix King declared war on the Demon Emperor. The Phoenix army was defeated and the kingdom fell, leaving no one alive. Sparda had heard of Phoenix King's declaration of war and the fall of his kingdom, he knew his kingdom was next, so he prepared his army and sent out a search party for the missing princess, but no sign of the princess and had eventually given up. Sparda decided that each year on the princess' birthday, the kingdom would light lanterns in honor of the princess and her kingdom, hoping someday the princess would return

Not far from Sparda's kingdom, a middle-aged man was returning from a fishing trip in the middle of the night when he heard the sounds of a child crying. He saw the child was an infant and no sign of the child's parents. It was obvious the child was abandoned by her parents as the man picked up the infant. The infant stopped crying as the man walked home to his wife and showed her the child. The wife agreed to it and so they named the child Akira Bloodgrave.

Meanwhile, Mundus knew the princess was still alive after he learned the demon he sent to kidnap her was going to double-cross him and kill the child. He sent out his Hunters to find the princess and prepared his army for an assault on the human realm. He knew it would take time after his assault on the Phoenix Kingdom as he waited as well for the princess to return.


It's a new story that had been going on in my head and thought it was something different.
