First Fanfic so be kind.

Chapter 1: Mistakes

Raven was in her room meditating. The Titans had just gotten back from a fight with, The 'Amazing' Mumbo and she was dead tired. She just wanted to meditate to calm herself. Unfortunately she was not doing well. Loud crashes could be heard outside, caused by Beast Boy's and Cyborg's roughhousing.

'Why can't they be quiet for five minutes?' Raven thought to herself.

Raven thought about giving them a piece of her mind, but she knew they would continue after awhile. So instead she came up with a different solution.

Raven got a metal bowl and two jars of herbs from the shelves and set them on the floor. She then sat cross-legged in front of the bowl and began pouring the herbs into the bowl. She crushed the herbs and made a small spark with her powers, which caused the herbs to burst into flames.

Raven then began to chant in an odd language.

It was a bit of a complex calming spell, meant to take over the mind of the caster and make them calm and peaceful for an hour. But Raven didn't stop there, she wanted to completely block out Beast Boy and Cyborg so she continued to complicate the spell.

Raven was chanting so fast she did not hear the few, yet important mistakes she was making. She was about to finish the spell with her usual: Azarath, Metrion, Zinthose! But there was a loud crash from outside and it made her jump and spurt out; "Azarath, Metron, Zinthon!"

Suddenly the flames turned green and they went out, sending a ton of black smoke flowing out, it smelled of strong brimstone. The smoke caused Raven's eyes to water and she coughed violently.

Then, the smoke stopped and just hung there not flowing or spreading. Suddenly the smoke pulled back and formed a large ball of smoke.

The ball began to shrink and move. The smoke then started to take a form.

Raven immediately realized something had gone wrong and looked on in shock and fright as the smoke completed its transformation.

Now standing in front of Raven, was a creature with a humanoid form, but Raven saw by its features it was not human.

The creature had gray skin, with stringy hair, that was a darker shade of gray and reached half way down its neck. It had long, pointed ears and in one was a small, golden, hoop earring. It had clawed hands and in one it held a long wooden staff with a sharp, pointed, metal tip bottom and a spiral metal top. It wore brown pants and a dirty white shirt. It also wore black boots and a large brown coat-like robe. The creature slowly opened its eyes, which were and shone, a bright green. The creature looked to be around the age of fourteen or fifteen. It looked around and it's eyes rested on Raven. It smiled, revealing his pointed teeth, and stepped forward.

Raven immediately got up and got into a fighting stance but was shocked when the creature stopped and bent over in a gentlemanly bow.

"Thank you madam." It said in a teenage voice. It suddenly shot out and grabbed Raven's wrist and kissed the top of her hand. "Thank you for freeing me!"

Suddenly the door slide open and the other Titans walked in.

"Raven, are you all right? We heard something and the sensors picked up some smoke-" he stopped when he saw the creature.

"Whoa! What's that?" asked Beast Boy as the Titans prepared to fight.

"The name's Dak. Middle-class, earthly demon." The demon said as he snapped his fingers and bowed again. "But I have no time for this." he said, going to Raven's only window, pulling back the drapes and opening it wide.

"I must see how the world has changed while I've slept!" he said pulling back his staff like a javelin. "See ya!" he said as he threw the staff out the window and jumped forward. He landed, gracefully on the middle of the staff and it flew towards the city.

The Titans looked on as the demon became a speck and then vanished all together.
