I am the embodiment of shadows, the background of the night. I am Luka and I shall tell you how I fell for another being. Before I got to know my beloved I was the right hand man of the Demon King. The Demon King, a sadistic and cruel Dura is what he is. He has lived for thousands of years and has sought to cover the world in dark shadows that are created by the shadows of human's emotions. Everyone holds darkness in them no matter who they are.
As a high ranking Opast, one of the General Class, I was one who received direct orders from the Demon King himself. He ordered me to take the life of God's Light. This person has this title as we were unaware of their name at the time due to the ceremony of reincarnation.
You see, the ones who are opposed to the Duras are the fighters known as the Zweilt Guardians. Each of them all have a special power that matches their personality and traits. There is an on going war between the Duras and the Zweilts. So to keep fighting against us Duras who can live lengthened lives compared to humans, the Zweilts are reincarnated through the generations. The Demon King has come to the conclusion that the best way to weaken the Zweilts is to destroy God's Light, the one person who is able to greatly heal all the other Zweilt Guardians wounds if they sustain damage in battle against the Duras.
So I went in search of the enemy's base, also known as the Twilight mansion, located in the large city of Tokyo. Luckily I've been there before, due to a previous mission, and was able to locate it despite it having a magic barrier which concealed its location. I made my way there and I began my task. I was to observe, decipher their strengths and weaknesses and of course kill God's Light. After weeks of surveying the large grounds I came to understand each person and their role within the household. Unfortunately I never got to have a proper look at God's Light, all I've discovered so far is that God's Light is a female called Yuki who is slightly bed-ridden who hopes to walk outside on her own soon. At least that's what I learned from hearing all the other people within the Twilight Mansion talk about her.
I've noticed that when everyone talks about God's Light, they had a kind of warmth in their voice that hints they all held a strong bond with her. I was patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. I couldn't do it inside otherwise I would instantly be detected due to some powerful and magical security system that had been installed in the large residence by some Zweilt who goes by the name of Shusei.
…..Finally after days of waiting…..God's Light let her presence be known as she stepped into the courtyard. I immediately knew it was her, she had this aura that was different from the rest. I didn't see her face as it was buried in a book but I saw the rest of her. Her body was thin in frame but not sickly thin, just slender. She had long ash-brown hair that looked soft and her skin was as white as milk. She looked graceful yet so strong, at the time I thought my mind was out of it but I see different now.
I waited till she came to a stop. She exited through the large back door of the mansion and made her way into the luxuriously spacious back garden until she came to the end of the garden and placed herself onto a beautifully carved wooden bench. She was still fully concentrated on her book and no one else was around. Now was the perfect moment to strike.
Silently I jumped from tree to tree; there was a cluster of trees within the very back of the garden. I perched myself on a large branch, braced myself to leap and steadied my hand which would make the killing bow. As I leapt from the branch at lightning speed, God's Light simultaneously lowered the book from her face so I was able to finally get a look at her features. My hand had been ready to strike but when it was one inch away from her face, it froze. Not just my hand but all of me was frozen for my silver eyes were looking into a pool of distinguishing light brown.
As I was frozen in place, the girl looked rather perplexed as if she was confused about what was going on and why I was here. She opened her mouth to speak and I swear my heart beated for the first time in my thousand year existence.
"Your eyes…I've seen them in my dreams"

"Your eyes Yuki, even to this day I see them vividly in my dreams as I do now"
Those were the words that went through my mind as I stared at Yuki's delightful bright brown eyes. Everytime I see them, I can't help but feel I have to keep him safe for he is my precious angel, sent from God to me. Now that I look away from his eyes and focus on his entire face I notice his cheeks are rather red. Worry quickly spread through me. Did he have a fever? Was he sick? So I questioned him.
"Yuki…why is your face so red?"
As I questioned him I subconsciously leaned closer towards him in an attempt to get a better look at him. As I got closer I took attention towards his lips, oh how I wanted to kiss him to let him know how I truly felt but this wasn't the time for that.
"Do you have a fever?"
I placed my left hand upon his forehead but it was normal, no abnormal warmth at all. Then I moved my left hand from his forehead to his cheek where I noticed where the redness was present. His cheeks were warm, maybe he was catching a cold.
"I…uuhh..ha…"
Unfortunately Yuki never finished his sentence as his eyes began to become glassy and his body went weak due to him fainting. With my instincts kicking in, I immediately wrapped my arms around him so his body wouldn't meet the floor that would result him being in pain later on. Slightly uncurling Yuki, I took a look at him.
His face had a peaceful expression, but I noticed there was a bit of darkness underneath his eyes. Did he not sleep ok last night? Concerned for his health I carried Yuki's unconscious body back into his room. He fainted and right now the best place was for him to rest. So I carefully got Yuki into his bed and under his duvet and managed not to stir him.
"Sodom"
My familiar, Sodom, immediately appeared at my side as I called his name. Currently he is in his young boy form with the cat's tail, his favourite of course. Due to him being apart of me, he immediately was able to understand what had happened to Yuki, which is why he didn't ask any questions.
"Sodom, please inform everyone else that Yuki's fainted but I've put him to bed and that it's best if he's left alone for another while."
"Of course Master!"
The cheerful familiar gave me a cheery smile which I couldn't help but chuckle at. With great energy that seemingly comes out of nowhere, Sodom dashed across Yuki's room and exited through the open door and as he exited he cleverly closed the door.
As the soft click of the door echoed through Yuki's spacious room, I turned my attention to the one I felt heated emotion for. He just looked so innocent and beautiful lying there. I wanted to kiss him. Normally I wouldn't even try due to him not knowing our past but now it wouldn't be so bad, would it? These were the thoughts that raced through my head as I slowly lowered my head down to Yuki's….
