(A/N Nothing is mine apart from OC's and plot start!)
A young boy with black hair, blue eyes is seen running away from two humanoid shadows, one shadow was broad-shouldered, large, and tall. The other was slim, feminine in its figure and both are heavily armed. The big shadow held a sort of gun that was blasting emerald green light, the other held a glowing red whip ready to strike the fleeing youth.
"You will fade from this world freak!" yelled the Feminine shadow, cracking her whip for emphasis. The large shadow aimed and blasted a ray of green light at the boy, hitting him dead on. The boy fell harshly on the muddy terrain. "Got it!" exclaimed the male shadow, his voice masculine and filled with pride at what he has done.
"Good aim Jack! Let's finish this… thing off once and for all!" yelled the female shadow, approaching the young boy she readied her whip. "Let's hear you scream freak!" she pulled her arm back and whipped the poor boy over and over again. His screams of agony and pain were muffled by the heavy rain in the forest.
"P-P-Please! M-M-Mommy… I-I-It h-h-hurts!" the boy cried out.
"MOMMY?! YOU?! YOUR NOTHING BUT AN ABOMINATION!" the woman yelled in hysterics "NO SON OF MINE CAN MAKE GREEN FLAMES! NO HUMAN CAN RAISE THE DEAD! ONLY A DEMON CAN DO WHAT YOU CAN!" the woman wailed while whipping the poor boy faster and harder.
She didn't even notice that the boy stopped screaming, his eyes dull…lifeless, his body still, covered with red and lashes of the whip.
Yet still, the crazed woman kept striking.
It took another minute for the woman to calm down, either running out of adrenaline or being fatigued by whipping the now corpse over and over again.
"It's done Maddie, that thing is gone," Said Jack.
The now-named woman turned to him with a smile and said in the most disgusting, deranged tone "that thing should have lasted a bit more, abominations like it should suffer a bit longer".
Jack smirked a sickeningly "I agree, now come on we still have other abominations to take care of." Maddie smiled a sadistic grin.
"Yes dear~" the woman cooed at Jack.
But as they made their way back, they didn't notice a lone pair of eyes. These eyes held untold rage and anger, and no small amount of horror on what they saw "T-they are his parents?!" the eyes glared daggers behind the heads of the cruel and malicious duo, then the eyes fell on the boy, pity and sadness filled the orbs. "He doesn't deserve this end" a shadow stepped out of the tree line.
The new shadow is short, a bit taller than the boy wearing a cloak with the hood up. There was shuffling under the fabric as the figure presented a Queen chess piece it was glowing an unnatural white color, the cloaked figure seemed to debate something until it placed the chess piece on the dead boy's chest, the figure said in a female childlike voice "In the name of house Caim, I Celestine Caim hereby give you the honor of being my Queen! My first piece! The fist member of my peerage! And…" she paused "become my first friend
The first thing the boy felt was stinging, he with great effort opened his eyes, the orbs scanned his surroundings.
He was in a normal-looking room, eggshell-colored walls a table with what looks like food, and some other necessities. He groaned, he felt sore, like he had just been tortured by-
He then came to a realization, he remembered, his parents, hunting him, hurting him. He was embraced by darkness and he knew he had died by abuse, so why is he awake? Was he now in heaven? Pretty dull he thought.
He suddenly felt something stirring by his side, he looked to the side and saw he wasn't wearing clothes… and the girl sleeping next to him was also nude, with only the thin fabric of the bedsheets hiding her modesty.
He wanted to scream embarrassed at the sight, but he saw the girl's peaceful face, it looked cute, beautiful, like when he and his sister would go and watch the sunset and the night sky light up the world.
Her long silky white hair draped over her body, hiding her growing chest, the bot blushed and looked away.
"Mhm"
The sound broth his attention back to the girl, as she slowly opened her eyes, the boy's breath hitched as he saw the most gorgeous and enchanting pair of amethyst he has ever seen. It shined like the sun in the room, something in the boy's chest beats.
The girl's eyes slowly began to focus and looked up at him as she rubbed her sleepiness away, she looked cute the boy thought.
"Mhm" she mumbled again, still sleepy, she then did something that nearly made the boy pass out again, she hugged him tightly, her nude body against his.
The boy's face was ripper than the reddest tomatoes, his body stiff as a wooden stick, there was also something growing stiff below his waist but he fought it down trying to think about something else.
It was when the girl was literary on top of him did, he had enough and he shouted "PLEASE WAKE UP!" his face was burning to the point one can boil a pot of water with it.
That seemingly had the desired effect as the girl shut up in surprise, she was now straddling him, her nudity laid bare before the boys' eyes. Nothing was spared.
She looked frantic that is until she looked down and saw their position, as well as the hard thing between her butt.
She had the most predictable reaction any woman would have.
"KYAA!" *slap*
The girl screamed and slapped the boy on the face as she used the bed sheets to hide her modesty again while on the other side of the bed, mumbling about 'why can't they invent other means of healing' and 'stupid devil magic'
She then looked at the boy who was shocked at what had happened, she blushed and did something that made the boy widen his eyes.
An intricate pattern suddenly appeared, it formed a circle, with numerous lines, letters, and other designs that the boy didn't understand. And from it, an extra bedsheet manifested and covered his body.
"…sorry, devil healing is a bit… perverted" the girl mumbled, her face ripe as a tomato, clearly embarrassed.
Once again, the boy was shocked 'devil healing?' was he in hell? Were his parents correct about him? Was he a bad kid? Why else would he be in hell? And why is hell a normal-looking room with a cute girl? Wasn't it suppose to be fire and screams?
Noticing the look, the boy has the girl giggled "Were not in the underworld silly, were still in the human world"
The giggle somehow made him feel relaxed, something he never got when his parents discovered his unique… powers. Her voice was angelic, ironic as she might be a devil, but why would a devil say sorry? Or giggle like another kid like him? He was so confused.
Seeing him looking so lost the girl giggled again, she got up, the bedsheets still covering her and said "I'll get some clothes, I'll tell you all about what happened and what is going on" she looked at him and smiled "So please trust me and wait" with that she left the room.
The boy was still, looking at the place the girl stood. A feeling budding in his chest as he remembers the smile, he gave him. It was a smile his mother gave him before his powers, a smile that he saw on his sister.
A smile that was filled with affection, and that both confused and relieved him.

A knock came and the same girl went inside now fully cloth, wearing a simple short and a white hoodie with a purple shirt, her hair in a knot. She looked like a tomboy now, she was still cute.
"Here! Some clothes I ah… borrowed" she looked bashful and a little embarrassed, the clothes were just green and black hoodie, blue shirt, and black pants.
"I'll go outside so you can change then we can talk, there's food there" she pointed at the table "so we can talk while eating" with that she went out again.
They looked at the door and then to the clothes on the bed.
A couple of minutes past and now the two kids are fully clothed sitting on the table with food on it, the girl was easily demolishing her strawberry cake, while the boy ate the eggs and bacon with grace.
The boy looked at the girl in slight surprise at her gusto at eating the cake, and he couldn't help but smile at the genuine happiness she was showing. It reminded him before, before his powers – To him it was a curse – a time where he was happy with his family.
"Do you want some?" he was taken aback at the sudden attempt at conversation by the girl, so he answered.
"U-um I think I'm good, thank you," he said stuttering slightly.
The girl just smiled "More for me then!" with that she dug into her cake with more ferocity "I'm Celestine by the way Celestine Caim, but call me Caimy I hate my long name, too much of a mouth full"
She introduced herself, the boy was inclined to do as well.
"I'm Daniel James Fenton, but I like to be called Danny, Daniel is a bit… aristocratic for me," he said sounding more and more like a child as their conversation went on.
Caimy smiled wider "Yay! I finally know your name! so what's your favorite color?"
And just like that Danny was drawn in by their conversation, Danny little by little gained his childlike happiness back as the two kids laughed and bond.
"Wait, you know how to play the guitar!?" Caimy yelled in wonder.
Danny chuckled "Well I know a few instruments, Jazz was forceful that way, saying stuff like 'having a few talents doesn't hurt' and 'so I can have a duet with my brother' or something like that"
"Cool!" Caimy looked in awe.
"Soo… how did I get here?" Danny threw the question he was holding throughout their conversation
Caimy looked annoyed that their fun time ended "Fine"
Caimy looked like she was thinking about where to start "Do you know about the supernatural? Like the myths and legends?"
Danny nodded "yeah, I liked to read stories about it… wait, are you saying that they are?" he looked at Caimy with wide eyes.
Caimy nodded "Yes they are true, all of it. I am a part of the supernatural" she then stood up from the chair and revealed her wings, white leather-like wings. Danny looked upon them in both awe and amazement.
"These are my devil wings, but unlike most other devils, which are black mine are white," Caimy said looking at her wings with both pride and sadness, something that Danny caught "My wings are genetic, only my family has white wings"
"they look amazing Caimy," Danny said in genuine wonder and childlike awe, Caimy blushed at the compliment but smiled non the less.
"You have wings to you know… you're a devil now Danny" that was it the bombshell that Danny was waiting to be confirmed.
Danny wanted to see his wings, he is a child after all but there is something he needed to know "How did I become a devil?"
She friendly spoke "You see Danny, Devils, fallen angels and Angels went to war with one another. No one won that war and the devils were nearly wiped out, so one of our leaders made the Evil pieces, no, no, it's just a name" She quickly added at the look Danny was giving her "Well, Ehem. These pieces took the form of chess pieces, like a pawn, knight, bishop, rook, queen, and king. each piece has its own attribute. Knight has increase speed, the rook is the tank, Bishop is either the healer or the mage as they mostly occupy the glass cannon role or support role, while the pawn though the weakest has the potential to be the strongest, which is the Queen piece. The king is well the king. the leader of the peerage, that is what we call the group of devils with a king."
She paused letting Danny digest the information before continuing "we devils use them to revive other beings as devils or half devils. You, Danny, were revived using my Queen piece, my first peerage member"
Caimy then looked at Danny dead in the eyes, confidence, and affection radiating off her "Danny I was there when your parents killed you" she said Danny's eyes widen, images of what happened flashed before his eyes.
His breathing became rapid and shallow, he was remembering what happened, the looks of resentment and disgust from the people he thought loved him came back. The sneers and hurtful words, it all resurfaced.
"N-no mommy Im not bad Im not an abomination im Danny your son Dad no please it hurts stop mom dad it hurts Please! STOP IT HURTS! MOMMY DADDY!" Danny soon delved into a panic attack the trauma fresh and painful.
Caimy immediately hugged Danny "Shh, it's all right now Danny, you're here, they are wrong, you're not Bad, you're not an abomination" She was suddenly pushed away, Danny looked at her angry.
"WHAT DO YOU KNOW?! YOU'RE A DEVIL! DEVILS ARE EVIL!" Danny yelled hurt but was directing his frustration and sadness to the wrong person.
A look of sadness marred Caimy's features, something that somehow snapped Danny back, "I-I'm sorry…" He mumbled as he collapsed on the floor "I-I hurt you, see… I'm a monster" tears streaked down Danny's cheeks "you should have let me die…" that last sentence was met by Caimy slapping him.
"You Idiot!" for the first time in the short time Danny knew her Caimy looked angry, her face contorted into a scowl, but not because of what he did, but what he said "your not a monster Danny, a monster will hurt me and never say sorry, you said you're sorry, so your not a monster," Caimy said softly, approaching him little by little.
Danny would have backed away but, seeing her looking at him, no longer angry, but smiling like they were friends for years, not just a few hours, was comforting, once again the trauma receded. Danny's attention was back to Caimy, his panic attack gone and his body relaxed.
Caimy soon started to speak again "Your no monster, nor an abomination, your not bad… your just Danny" smiling at him Caimy hugged him once again "and you're my friend"
Tears soon started to well up in Danny's eyes, but this time it wasn't tears of resentment, sadness, or anger. It was tears of relief, happiness, and hope, Danny hugged Caimy tight as he wailed once more, lamenting about his life, his parents.
But hopeful that he can heal the wounds both physically and mentally. So he needed confirmation.
Danny broke the hug and unconsciously looked at Caimy's eyes, green met purple "Are you my friend?" Danny asked, and without hesitation Caimy replied.
"Yes, Danny, I'm your friend and you are my friend," she said with such conviction, such belief, such… Genuity that Danny nearly jumped back in shock, how can someone, like Caimy exist? Someone willing to go as far as she did for a stranger, she a devil no less.
"I-I believe you… Thank you" the last words were whispered but Caimy heard all the same as she smiled brighter than the sun, purer than any angel.
"Great!" she then took Danny's hand and pulled themselves up "D-do you want to continue my explanation? Or wait?" she said unsure and wanted to know if Danny was now uncomfortable continuing.
Danny shook his head, his hand still clasped around Caimy's he said "No please, continue I-I can manage"
Caimy nodded and preceded to tell the rest "after your parents killed you, and left, I was both horrified, angry, and saddened. So, I decided that I will have you as my Queen, give you a chance at life once again."
Danny looked at her no small part in awe and appreciation, "Thank you…" he said once again, Caimy waved him off.
"It's alright, really it's fine, I'm sure others would do the same in my situation," she said humbly.
Once again Danny was shown a non-characteristic of a devil, which confused and relieved him greatly.
"So, me becoming a devil?" Danny asked as the grin that Caimy suddenly got was contagious as he smiled wide as well.
"Well, you're a devil now, and not just any devil, but a devil of the extra devil house of Caim!" Caimy yelled the name in pride and joyfulness.
But the sudden sadness ruined it
"Caimy, what's wrong?" Danny asked unsure on how to comfort a girl
"It's just… I'm the last of my house" she said in sadness, Danny soon realized something, they were the same, they both lost the warmth of a family, but in different scenarios.
"I-I, you're on your own?" Danny asked and was horrified when she nodded, soon questions were raised in his head, but this time it was more about Caimy. Her feelings, her health, her safety.
It scared Danny somewhat that he grew attached to someone his age so quickly, but he guessed stressful situations breed amazing circumstances.
"wait then where are we staying?" Danny asked a bit worried.
Caimy said, "We're staying in a motel, don't worry, I used a basic illusion to mask me as an adult. And stole the other things, like clothes and money," she said ashamed.
"Hey, it's alright you did what you needed, and with me by your side now we can take each other's burden," Danny said trying to raise Caimy's spirit much as she did to him.
Caimy smiled "Thanks Danny, it's just, after all, that's happened, me being left alone and wandering around and then meeting and bringing you back to life its… been hard being alone. I'm just happy someone is by my side" Danny could see the glossiness of her eyes start to burst.
So he smiled at her instead "We're friends now Caimy! We can do a lot of things together! We're not alone anymore… we have each other" on some level Danny was also saying it to himself, choosing to forget what happened to him.
Caimy smiled, "T-thanks *sniff* Danny" Caimy said rubbing her eyes.
"So um, is our rooms separate? It was just umm, you left with nothing but bed sheets a while ago, and I doubt that a motel would let something like a nude child run around the place" Danny said blushing remembering the first few minutes of their first encounter of one another.
Caimy also blushed, her chubby cheeks tinging with red sprinkles.
"U-um yah, I have another room all to myself why?" Caimy asked confused at first then, her face lit up even more "P-pervert!" she suddenly yelled surprising Danny.
"W-what?" was his smart reply
Caimy looked at Danny cautiously "Y-you want to sleep next to me, don't you?" she asked still blushing.
Danny stopped his thoughts "N-no! i-its just strange that you left in with the bedsheets and came back fully clothed, I thought that we were at your place, not a motel, I'm not a pervert I swear!" Danny said quickly, embarrassed.
Caimy looked at him wearily "I-Its fine… maybe having someone in bed is a good thing…" the admission of wanting to sleep in the same bed together almost turned Danny's brain to mush.
"W-w-w-w-what?" He stammered.
Caimy reached out and pinched Danny's arm, making him yelp in pain, "D-don't make me say it again! I-I just want to feel someone besides me, the last one was my parents, but they, they…" Tears were leaking down her face.
No matter how embarrassed Danny was currently, it was snuffed out at the sight of the girl that saved him. He didn't know when, but he reached out his hand and cupped her face in his hand and said "Its, alright, a bit awkward, but if it makes you feel better, if it can take some of the weight off your shoulders then I'll do it"
*hick* "I thought I was the one comforting someone," she said jokingly, earning a laugh from both of them.
"Well my sister always said that my flaw is making others happy" Danny admitted
Caimy looked at him strangely "Why would that be a flaw?" she asked, Danny, shrugged
"Don't know why maybe if I'm older I can know, I am 10 years old after all" Danny said, acting like he has a long beard and imitating a certain wise elderly wizard's voice.
Caimy laughed and was surprised at how Danny's attitude change so fast, a minute ago he was having a panic attack, then he was comforting her, and now he was making jokes.
"Yup, mom always said we have our entire lives ahead of us" Caimy boast proudly
Danny chuckled "You have a great mom, Caimy"
"Yah… they were the best" she sounded downtrodden, but regain her shine instantly.
The two continued to talk, continued to share stories about their lives, some tears were shed, and laughs shared.
But their bond grew stronger and will continue to grow stronger.
These two will create one of the most feared and most respected groups in all of the supernatural world.
Viridi Caelum the emerald sky
(A/N Yup! New story with even better plot then my last works, why? Cause I actually planned this one out! Yippy!
Though It will be a slow burn… I think, actually yah it will, this is set about 10 years before cannon as I will mostly focus on the development of Caimy's peerage, her past and the interaction she will have not just with Danny, but her peerage as well.
Caimy will mostly share the main protagonist role with Danny, but once Issei and the others come into the picture the attention will shift to them for the most part.
Told you I planned this story.
Peace!)
