My name is Alice but in my previous life I was the last demon lord during the Age of Legends. Demon Empress to be more precise. I've been reborn as this fairy looking girl. It wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't a human. I hope it's not Gods Idea of a joke to send me here with my memory....My father Vera Bane was a high lord of Fletcher in charge of the Treasury. He discovered I could talk since at 1yo. He became excited and yelled 'My baby's a genius' as spun me around in the air.
Since then...father...hired a private tutor to teach me various things
I was born most of the time and would often play pranks.
I remember when I was 2 years old some unfortunate fool was being accused of eating a baby's hand after killing it. It was truely a funny specticle. It's obvious that it was a misunderstanding...I mean the baby was moving....foolish humans. They over react too easily. This man called Lord Ruark pleaded to my father. I could see my father's expression started to lighten. Then I said "Daddy.....look at all that blood..."
I had a lot of fun that day. My father tried to hunt and arrest Lord Ruark for an entire month before a letter arived from the Empire.It was written by Lord Ruark and a Co sighed by the Arch Mage explaining the situation.
3 years later Lord Ruark was assigned as an a high elder to Fletcher.
I immediately recognized him and his "son" Tesla. Being an ex Demon Empress she had an ability to see mana. I instantly recognized that mama signature.
It seemed strangely familiar...Calming. I spend the next 5 years spying on him and following him. I loved to see his reactions to my little pranks. 3 years ago I noticed him spending alot of time in the attic. I snuck into his house and I witnessed something....remarkable
He was sitting in front of an Old painting whispering in an ancient tongue that was older the the Age of Legends itself.. It's the same tongue used by the gods who roamed the earth then. Then I noticed the Painting.

It illuminated the the attic wich now seemed a grey monochrome. The only color oozed from the painting before it too joined the grey.
(Im-Imposible' That painting is...) She stopped her train of thought.
She noticed a mass of dark mana Rushing into the boy. This dark mana drained all the surrounding collor.
She broke out in cold swet.
'Master.......' she whispered on disbelief
(No, It's not possible.....'she bit her finger nail
Tesla was an intelligent boy with a high magic affinity but that was all. He is fascinated by ruins and is obsessed with artifacts and new technology.....he can't possibly be my master....)
She went out of the house and looked around for something she could use. Then she noticed Eliad and his gang
'Perfect' She assumed her evil smile
She knew that Tesla had a father complex and would get mad at anyone who tried to flaunt their names. Eliad was powerful but he was still a stuck up rich kid who couldn't stop talking about who his father was or how great he was.
After she led Tesla outside the she commenced her plan
'F-fool?' Do you know just who're talking too? My father is-'
Even with her enhanced eyes she lost track of him.
Alice: (A 7th rank warrior? Impossible. Even I just barely made 5th rank mage...)
After that event Alice convinced herself that he must be her master.
After that Alice told Tesla everything. She then learned just how little she learned.
Telsa apparently used a 2nd rank magic called Electro. This is normally used to stun the opponent. He used it on himself. He used electricity to push his muscles pass their limit.

He had developed a new spell
Alice: (For his muscles not tear from the exertion he had to be at least 5th rank.....He already has enough mana capacity to rival a 6th grade mage........Just how powerful is he?)
Over the years Alice had stopped pulling pranks on Tesla and just moved to foolish boys who try to 'court' her attention.
Tim should have picked a different girl

Present
----------------
Telsa: 'Alice...'
Alice: 'Soo...what was that just now?' Alice asked as she approached Tesla
Tesla: '.........'
Alice: 'Oh come on. Don't be such a douche'
Tesla: '......I was messing with chemicals...I'm trying to make a propultion device using them.....I just have to get the mixture right'
Alice: 'Ohhh? Can I see it?' Alice beamed a smile.
Tesla: '....If you don't touch anything'
'Oh fine' Alice said while she crossed her arms in a pout.
The smoke almost cleared out of the place as they entered. Tesla led Alice into the attic where he was conducting his experiments.
All around you could see piles of various piles of powdered and jars laying around. The volatile liquid were encased in shock proof boxes. This place is alot different than it was 3 years ago and the painting is no where to be seen.
Alice felt the air vibrate when she asked
'What happened to that painting?'
Tesla: 'Painting?...'Tesla recalled the troublesome event 3 years ago'
'I put it away. It caused too many weird things'
Alice: 'Can I see it?'
Tesla waved his hand and a piece of the wall opened. Out of the opening the painting floated out.
It looked just like a plain old painting but Alice knew better
Alice: 'Amazing.......' she stared at the painting intently.
To think I'd be alive to see this......' She was starstruck
Tesla haven't seen Alice behave this way since she Claimed to be a Demon Empress incarnate. It sounded pretty weird so he figured it was her way of apologizing so he didn't ask any question. This made Tesla curious.
(Maybe she knows something about it..It's the only link to my origins.)
Tesla: 'What's so special about it' He cautiously asked
Alice: '??' 'Wait! You don't know??'
Tesla: '? Know what?
Alice: 'This is a very powerful relic from the time of the gods. It's the smallest of its kind but there is only 5 in existence. I've lived for 5010 years and not once have I come close to any of them. They were considered a God class artifact even then'
Tesla: '5010 years? What? You're not serious are you? Nevermind. What does it do?'
Alice: 'It's a portal'
Tesla: '.....'
'Teessllaa! You here? I'm hearing strange report of explosions coming from here. You didn't hurt anyone again did you?
Tesla: 'I'm here father. We have a guest.'
A chill ran up Emenuel's spine
Emenuel: 'I-Is that so...who is she?' Emenuel messed up. He knew who's is likely the 'guest'
'Alice...' heart sank
Emenuel: 'W-we'll everything seems in order I'll just leave you to your 'guest' He said while turning around in a hurry
Tesla: 'Actually we I need your help'
Emenuel: 'Surely you don-' He was cut off by Telsa before he could finish his excuse.
Tesla: 'It's about the painting. Alice here says she knows something'
Emenuel's Face turned serious wich sender shivers down Tesla's spine.
Tesla: (Fucking scary face...)
Emenuel followed Tesla up into the attic
When the three of them was together Tesla spoke.
'Alice, tell my father what you told me. Not about the demon nonsense but the function of the artifact.'
Alice: Blushed at Tesla's assertiveness 'R-right.' She began to explain
Emenuel: 'Hmmm, you're saying that the painting is a portal of sorts, Intresting.......He said as he rubbed his chin.(That explains how Tesla ended up in my bag randomly...)
Tesla: If it's a portal then where does it lead to?
Alice: 'Isn't it obvious?'
Tesla: 'No..'
Alice: 'To the location dipicted in the painting.....'
