The Dark War… a war that ensued the destruction over many Netherworlds. Starting at full force, by its leader Void Dark, it was a time of darkness for the peace of all demons.
But for hope to remain, a hero surged. The name "Killia" crosses the words of everyone. Allied with many other Overlords, he managed to thwart Void Dark's will to destroy and to save the lives of many in danger.
A moment of peace came and it seemed to last. That is… until now…

Episode 1: Petals are Carrying Memories
BGM: Lieze Love -Instrumental-
The gentle breeze carried all stray petals towards the blue sky. Sunlight gave the land a brilliance that wasn't equal to any other Netherworld. The calm atmosphere, the abundant nature… things that defined Flowerful as a tranquil world.
There he stood, lying on the ground. He opened his eyes and looked around. Nothing seemed recognizable to him, as if he was transported to an unknown world he had never seen before. He got up and shook his head, while looking around once again.
"Where… am I…? This place… where did I end up?" he said. But then, more questions started to raise in his head. Wait… who am I? From where did I come? For what reason am I here? he thought. Everything was a blank. He had no memories of his past or the present. The demon kept thinking hardly, trying to dig some profound clue about himself.
At that moment, another demon passed by. He seemed to know the place very well. Then, he looked and found the unknown person standing there, looking very troubled. At that moment, he decided to check if the situation was good with the stranger. "Hey, you." he said, approaching. "O-Oh… hi." the demon replied, nervous. "I never saw you around. Are you hurt?" he asked once again. "No, I'm not. But… I don't know where am I…" the demon responded.
"You're in the Netherworld of Flowerful. We don't receive many tourists like other Netherworlds, so that's why it was strange to see you here." he responded. "Flowerful… this name… ugh…" the demon contorted himself in pain, holding his head with one hand. "H-Hey, are you sure you're not hurt?" he asked once again. The confused demon shook his head a little and stood normally once again.
"I remember now… my name… I am Agni Blackheart." the demon said. Agni stood still confused. He did some progress, though, remembering his name. However, nothing else came to mind. In his mind, the name "Flowerful" could have brought new clues about himself… but only his name came in mind. He stood disappointed, as the demon who stood next to him put a hand on his shoulder.
"You suffer from amnesia, then. I don't know how much I can help you, but I'll try to. Let's go to my house first. We can discuss the rest there." he spoke. "I appreciate the offer, but I will refuse. I don't want to be a bother to you. Your life seems peaceful and I have a feeling that I'll drag you into many problems if you help me, so…" Agni spoke, trying to leave. But the demon insisted.
"I appreciate your worry, but you're inverting values here. And this won't be a problem. By the way, I'm Killia." he said, introducing himself. "Your name… it isn't strange… I feel like I've heard it before." Agni replied. "I see. Maybe we can dig more memories. But right now, we should check if you're truly OK. Let's go to my house for now." Killia said.
Agni was still bothered, but the choices he had were truly few. He nodded and Killia replied with another nod, starting to walk the road. Agni followed suit, wondering how his name was so familiar. Still, he couldn't deny that Killia was kind enough to offer some help. But he wondered about himself.
They walked down the road, progressing through the lands of Flowerful. In no moment, they spoke to each other. At the same time, Agni's face showed nothing but a worried and anxious expression. Killia decided to break the silence by asking Agni basic questions in order to help him with his memory problem.
"Do you remember where you came from? Did any clue came to enlighten you?" he asked. "I'm sorry. Nothing comes to mind. I'm thinking hard, but-" Agni replied, being interrupted. "There's no need to apologize. As I said before, I'll try to help you the most." Killia replied. "I know, I know. This doesn't have anything to do with you, but you offered your aid. I just… don't want to be a bother, that's all." Agni spoke, a little down.
"If there is one thing I have learned, is that no problem can be truly solved alone. I had one that I thought that I didn't needed anyone else. That I could do it. And I did solved it… but with my friends. If I have a peaceful life today, it's all because they were there with me." Killia spoke, trying to comfort Agni. "Friends… I wonder if I had any." Agni thought.
BGM: Break Free
Then, they were cornered by other demons who came. They seemed like thugs, blocking the path in the two points: from where they came and to where they're heading.
"Heh, it's the guy from the other day. Came back to some more?" one of the started to speak, pointing at Killia. "Hope you're ready for a beating, you punk!" they said, taking out their weapons. Most of them were swords, looking very old.
"Those guys again… they don't get tired, no matter how much I defeat them. I guess it helps me with practice, but even so…" Killia said, sighing hardly. He entered into his fighting stance and prepared. "Agni, can you fight? If you can't, then just stay close to me." he asked.
Agni looked around. On his belt, he saw a rapier. At somewhat instinctual, he removed it and entered into a fencing position, aiming at them. "H-Huh? I… don't know what I'm doing. My body is moving on his own and if I know how to use this… I forgot." he said.
"Then this will be the opportunity for me to teach you how to fight. Pay attention, because I'm not a good teacher." Killia said as both aimed back at the thieves and prepared for the battle.
BGM: Mass Destruction (Persona 3 FES)
The thugs went on, rushing at Killia and Agni with many slashes as they could give. In a try to overwhelm, they divided themselves between both demons instead of rushing just into one.
On Killia's side, he parried and evaded the slashes with simplicity. With backhand and palm attacks, he managed to hold them pretty well. They all tried once again to rush at him, in the expectation of finally holding him down, but he blocked their attacks with one arm and threw them off balance by punching their swords with the other hand. With a fast movement, he got into a position where they stood on a line. "Exploding Tiger!" he proclaimed. Killia punched forward and hit all of them with a single fist. With a palm strike in thin air, he froze all of them and dealt the damage necessary for them to finally stop.
As for Agni, he was clashing his blade with theirs. At some moments, it looked like they had the upper hand. He backed off but was caught with a slash from behind him and was left into an open position for their next rush. However, he managed to recover quickly and backed off once again, evading their next rush. I'm managing to hold my ground, but at this rate… he thought. Then, one of them decided to go forward and attack him. In that short space of time, Agni took the offensive and with some swift fencing movements and attacks, he disarmed the thief and defeated him with a boot kick in his gut. The other ones went at him as well, but they were all defeated by the same movements he did earlier.
"Gah, you'll… you'll pay for this!" the thief leader spoke as the entire band ran away.
BGM: Revenge Blues
"There. It's finally over." Killia said. "You're really good at fights. Thanks for the lesson." Agni said, breathing a little. "You're not bad yourself. Is this really your first time fighting?" he asked. The young demon closed his eyes and tried to remember, but nothing came.
"I… can't remember. Maybe I knew how to fight before, but no memory comes." Agni answered, sighing frustrated. "You should calm down. You're too anxious. Nothing good comes when you're too anxious for something." Killia spoke calmly. Agni nodded back and looked around, examining the scenery.
This world… it seems so calm, relaxing. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to settle down here once I discover about me. he thought. Just by looking at his face, Killia knew what Agni was thinking. "Yeah, it's a really calm place. Nothing much happens here, but it's a nice world." he said. Not surprised, Agni nodded once again. At Killia's own nod, they began to walk once again.
BGM: Lieze Love -Instrumental- plays again
"Killia, there you are!" a woman voice spoke not too distant to them. When they looked, a young woman came. She was Liezerota, an important person to Killia and part of the family he belongs. She came running to them.
"Oh, Lieze. Were you looking for me?" he asked. "Yes, I was. I've already called Void and Father for dinner so you were the only one missing. And since you took some time to return, I was worried…" she said. "Sorry. The bandits from yesterday attacked me again. But I managed to defeat them once again." he said, reassuring her.
"Also, there's one other thing." Killia spoke once again. And this time, he looked back at Agni, who startled a little but walked forward. "This is Agni. He suffers of amnesia, so I've decided to bring him with me back home." he said. Agni waved silently, but with a tiny smile. Lieze smiled back and talked to him. "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Liezerota, but you can call me Lieze." she said. "W-Well, it's a pleasure to meet you too…" he said. She smiled back at him.
"Since you found us, then we can already go back to home." Killia said. Both nodded and followed Lieze this time as she walked in front.
BGM: Mystery Haze
Suddenly, a cloaked demon appeared and stood into their way. He stood silent, staring at them. "Excuse me, but can you let us pass, please?" But the cloaked demon removed a scythe and pointed at them. Killia dashed in front of Lieze. "What do you want with us?" he asked serious.
"Agni Blackheart, what are you doing? Complete your mission." the cloaked demon said directly to Agni. "Mission…? What mission? Who are you? How and what do you know about me?" he questioned. The cloaked demon sighed.
"I knew you were imperfect. You cannot do something so simple. I am unable to acknowledge how you obtained the XIV Rank, seeing how you fail even in the simplest of tasks. Well then, I shall take your place here. Leave back to there right now as I do what I must." he said, changing his aim to Killia and Lieze.
"Ah! W-What do you want with us?!" Lieze asked, scared. "Killia and Liezerota. The Death Army possess an incredible interest on your souls. I came to take them." the cloaked demon explained. "You're speaking as if your victory was already determined. I suppose that giving you a beating might help." Killia said, going into battle position.
"Didn't I told you to return? What are you still doing here?" the cloaked demon asked bitterly to Agni. He shook his head and looked back. "I don't know you, but if you know something about me, I must know! And I will know that by taking my memories from you!" he said, taking out his rapier and entering battle position as well.
BGM: Veiled in Black (Final Fantasy XV)
Both went forward but were soon blown away by a Giga Fire spell. Lieze was affected as well, but she was still fine. "Lieze, hide!" Killia said as she nodded and ran away back into a forest lying not so far from them. As soon as she was out of sight, he dashed back at the cloaked assailant and started to attack him. However, all of his fists and kicks were grazing, as if he was trying to hit a shadow. The cloaked demon used a Giga Wind spell and blew Killia away from him.
Now, Agni dashed forward, trying to attack him, but having the same result. In the next blink, he was caught into a Giga Ice spell and was frozen. The cloaked demon kicked him away with a strength that sent him flying right into Killia.
"It's time to finish this.", he said, finally taking his weapon out: a gun. He locked Killia and Agni into barriers and sent them into the sky. "Homing Eraser." he proclaimed as he shot a single bullet. Soon, both demons stopped into a line as the bullet shot passed right through them. Falling back into earth, both demons were defeated.
Although they did their best, the battle was still lost to their unknown enemy. "Is that your best, Killia? I'm disappointed and bored. Maybe I should just kill you." he said, preparing another attack. Agni got up wobbly and faced the cloaked demon once again.
BGM: Silent Sadness
"… Who are you? How… did you know about me? What do you know… tell me!" that is what Agni spoke, trying to stand up, but his body told otherwise. He was injured from this last battle and his body started to weaken. The cloaked demon looked at him. "Are you still here? And why are you making those stupid questions?" he said. "They wouldn't be stupid if I had any memories to back me up!" Agni spoke fiercely.
"You lost your memories? How come? A Death could never lose his memories, no matter the case." the cloaked demon said, showing a tone of surprise. Agni's head started to hurt badly. "Death… Death? Ugh… my head… graaah!" he screamed and contorted himself in pain. Suddenly, he fell down.
"Agni!" Killia exclaimed as he ran to his aid. The cloaked demon looked behind to them. "... For him to lose his memory… it could be the chance to his elimination. Master will be pleased with this." the demon laughed and turned back, leaving with a single movement of his cape. Agni tried to run after him, but both his body and Killia held him back.
"Don't hurry. You're not in conditions to go after him." he spoke. Agni had to accept that fact and with Killia's help, he managed to stand up once again. Lieze came back running as Killia simply gave her a nod. "We're near home already. Once we reach there, take a good rest, OK?" Lieze said. Agni didn't responded back but he nodded. The three resumed their walk.
BGM: Revenge Blues
After walking a little more, the three of them finally reached Killia and Lieze's house. It wasn't the richest, but it looked comfortable enough. Lieze walked forward and soon called. "I'm home and I brought Killia with me!" she said a little loud. "Sister!" a voice replied.
Another young man came. He was at the same height of Killia's, but his attire was different. "I was really worried. Why did you took so long to return?" he asked, worried. "Oh, Void! Stop worrying about me that much." Lieze replied to her brother. She looked around a little, as if she was searching for someone.
"Did Father returned yet?" she asked. Void shoke his head negatively and then looked back. "Hmm? Who's that, Killia?" Void asked, pointing to Agni. "This is Agni Blackheart. I've found him lost at the fields and decided to bring him with me. He suffers from memory loss and I'm going to help him a little." Killia answered.
Void looked rather concerned and soon showed dissatisfaction with his decision. "Look, Killia, I know you're some sort of hero, but this isn't the time for you to act heroic. We've finally gained some peace and you're bringing problems. I seriously am against that." he protested. "But I agreed that we must help him. Also, he's injured and there's nowhere for him to stay. So please, Void, help us out…" Lieze asked. Her brother soon changed the tone once hearing her ask. "Fine, I'll help him. If that's what you want, Sister." he said.
"… No, he's right. I never wanted to bother you in the first place, so I'll find somewhere to stay." Agni spoke. Killia gave him a little laugh. "I've said it many times that you don't have to worry about it. You're our guest, so just stay calm." he said. Agni nodded once again and walked towards the door. He looked back at them and finally went in.
He seems like a good boy. I wonder where he came from, anyway… Killia thought. Lieze clapped her hands a little. "Alright, you two. We have to make Agni feel comfortable, since he lost all of his memory. So don't press him to remember, OK?" she said. Both responded at the same time.
"Yes, Lieze."
"If you say so, Sister."
She nodded and opened the door. Once she did it, she found Agni resting in the couch. Yet with closed eyes, he was sitting. She couldn't help it but look at him with a relieved face. Sleep well, Agni. Have good dreams… she thought while moving to the kitchen. As for Killia and Void… "Hey, how about a spar? I'm feeling a little rusty." Void suggested. "OK, but I won't hold back." Killia replied and the two started throwing fists at each other.
