Sunnydale, California- 1589

It was a cold and gloomy August morning. The leaves were floating through the air as if they had no weight at all. Everything was quiet, save a little noise in the distance. It was the sound of a secret meeting, gathering along the river in the middle of the town. There were no buildings around and very little people- if you'd even call them people at all. The leader of this meeting, Halandir, was a tall creature no more than seven feet tall. He had horns and a face that would make little children squirm. He sported a long black cloak that brushed the ground as he glided across the wet grass topped with dew. He reached a circle of stones where a faction of creatures like him had assembled awaiting his arrival. They were clearly his loyal followers. As the leader sat down, he spoke to his clique in their native tongue. As they intently listened, Halandir told him about their kind. "Demons," he called them, "creatures of the night." He went on to tell them a legend of a girl and how she alone had the power to kill them all.
"She is called the Slayer. Generations of them exist and a new one rises once the previous one dies. For centuries she has killed thousands of demons all around the world," Halandir said. "The seers have foreseen that the most powerful slayer will settle here in 400 years. This is why we have decided to place the portal between the mortal and demon dimensions here in Sunnydale. That way, when she comes, we'll be ready."
