"No...." The strange man said as the air around him grew heavier. The mention of the name shook the ground under him and cracks formed along the walls. Isabel even being as ignorant as she was to understanding situations could tell he wasn't telling the full story. Yet at the same time he believed his own words. Besides he still looked so young so how could he be The Alpha?
"I see..." Isabel was left in an awkward silence as she continued to follow the strange man as he walked out.
"So. Do you have a name I can call you?" Isabel asked curiously after a while of walking.
"I used to be called Davus Lune" Davus Lune said in a slightly more friendly tone as he introduced himself.
"Nice to meet you Davus. I am Isabel" Said the foolish princess who failed her understanding of Hullen Language.
"It is more polite to call a Hullen by their given name and not their family name. Please call me Lune" Lune said trying to speak a little more casually.
"Oh. Nice to meet you Lune" Isabel said with a friendly smile before she noticed the sound of crashing waves against the cliff face. She turned to see the ocean she once crossed with such ease to be in the middle of a harsh storm.
"Interesting. I had thought the Crystal Caves were still connected to the island however it appears I was wrong. How long has it been since I last saw the light of day?... I guess it doesn't really matter" Lune said while gathering some mana in his hand and calming the storm instantly.
"So your a mage?" Isabel asked in awe.
"A mage? I am a warrior. when surrounded by dragons and gods that wish to kill you the only option is to fight to survive. I just know what allows me to better my fighting potential however to calm a storm like this I just need to release a small amount of my power" Lune said in a gentle monotone as he walked across the ocean.
"However before I woke up I did sense two strong people fighting. I am unsure what type of energy they used however I am certain that I look forward to meeting them." Lune said with a smile that felt slightly dark as he reached the shore line. He then turned around and noticed that he had left the foolish princess behind due to his speed.
"I wonder if the foolish princess knows about her power?" Lune said before turning back to the direction he felt the two powers fighting each other.
"What an interesting world I came back to"...
...
"Did... Did you do that?" The Hero asked as he pulled himself onto his feat with what remaining strength he had before collapsing back to the ground. He looked over to The Demon who was in a similar state as he was.
"ME? Like hell I have that much power" The Demon said in complaint as she struggled to stand.
"Please. I was told by The Grand Elder that you were coming. Angry and evil just like your father" The Hero said as he used his sword to help himself stand. The Demon grew angry at this and sent a wave of energy at The Hero that made him fall back onto his ass.
"I came to the central to try and form a peace treaty. I am nothing like my father. He wanted nothing more then to kill The Hullen. I on the other hand want to fix what he broke no mater the cost. The Demonic Race wont survive another war" The Demon said seriously as a tear fell to the ground.
The Hero forced himself to stand again and dragged himself over to The Demon while lifting his sword in the air aiming for a clear cut stab straight through her heard and to leave the sword embedded into the ground.
"Then die and end it all. Without you the demonic race would be seen as any other race and the hatred would die with you" The Hero said seriously before bringing his sword down.
"Just like the demons were forgiven with my fathers death?" The Demon said curiously as she used he right hand to catch the blade just inches from her chest. The Hero looked at the person before him and struggled to see a monster. He saw someone with determination in their eyes to save their race. The Demonic Continent being in ruins is not news to his ears. He had know for some time but did nothing out of his own personal distance for the Demonic Race. He was not about to let The Demon live because he knew she had the power of evil inside of her and he had to stop that from ever seeing the light of day again.
"You have my word. I will personally go to each country and speak about making a new peace treaty. I will even bring it up at the Peace Festival" The Hero said seriously as he lifted his blade one last time looking directly into The Demon's eyes.
"I see... Thank you... Hero" The Demon said as she let her arm fall to the ground and she accepted her fate, The Hero looked deep into her eyes and brought his sword crashing towards the ground. His sword coated in blood was left half submerged into the ground as The Hero fell back out of energy.

After a full quiet minuet the scilence was broken.
"Why did you spare me?" The Demon asked confused as the sword was a good few centimetres away from her body and she knew better then to think The Hero would miss by accident. She was in a state that left her unable to even move let alone block The Heroes sword once more.
"I.... I don't know" The Hero said honestly as he fell onto his back and lied down looking at the sky. When he looked into her eyes as he was about to launch the finishing blow he simply didn't sense any evil. No instead he felt a warmth that he knew evil didn't have. She was prepared to give her life to end the war and that is not something evil would do.
"Probably because you have big boobs" The Hero guesses not being one to look to deeply into things.
"You pervert" The demon said while sending a dark bolt into The Heroes gut. She didn't have the power to do any real damage however it did cause a small amount of pain on The Hero who comically accepted his punishment like a true pervert.
"*Cough* Also *Cough* Look around. For all your attacks all you actually did was damage a few trees. Not a single creature was harmed in your attacks. You also don't look evil. You don't feel evil" The Hero said a bit more seriously making The demon a bit curious to see if this Hero was just pretending to be perverted to brake the hostile atmosphere. Maybe this Hero was kinder then he looked.
"Also you are about as threatening as a house cat" The Hero said with a light laugh.
"HEY!!!" The Demon said angry at being compared to a house cat.
"ha ha... Well... My name is Liam Cross.... What is yours?" Liam asked with a friendly smile.
"I... I am Elie... Elie Faria. It is a pleasure to meet you" Elie said with a smile.
"No trust me. The pleasure it ALL mine" Liam said while openly staring directly at her chest.
"Dark Bolt *Hero Wilhelm scream*. I never thought The Hero would spare my life though. I thought it would be a race against the clock to try and convince the leaders of the 4 great nations to allow my race to be spared. Yet with your help I guess it will be easier... Yet something tells me I will regret asking this... Would you please join me in my quest to add the Demonic Race to the Peace Treaty?" Elie asked already sensing the regret she would be having for the next few months before the Peace Festival.
"Yea. I would love to help" Liam said in a more serious tone yet he said it with a smile. As The Hero it was his job to help people in their time of need. He would happily help an entire race since he did not think the actions of one True Demon should be branded as the actions of an entire race. No Demonic Race and resist the command of a True Demon so even if they wanted to be good they couldn't.
"By the way... What do you think that power was?" Liam asked curiously as he himself had no idea.
"That? I have a few ideas however.... I hope it isn't a monster from my fathers past" Elie said recalling a story her father once told her. About a Hullen warrior with blue eyes and immeasurable power that rivalled the gods. Elie knew that the day she met that man was the day she died. But that legend was hundreds of years ago. Hullen only live for around 100 years so the blue eyed Hullen would be dead.... Yet whenever she tried to put her mind at ease her instincts just continued to make her acknowledge the terrifying possibility.
"Oh well. Whatever it is I hope I never have to fight it. I am still shaking and the feeling is already gone. Now then. How about I escort you to the Human Kingdom first and sort things out there. I am very well known all over the island however I am better known as a Human so I did always have a better reputation over there" Liam said while standing up and reaching a hand out to help Elie up.
"Then lets begin" Elie said with a smile. Two paths began moving. One starting with The Hero and Demon. The other starting with An old warrior and a foolish Princess. Both paths destined to meet and after that. Not even the gods knew how things would play out.

Authors Note. I had to make this on my phone since work isn't getting any easier however In a few more days things will be back to normal and I will be able to go over all of my chapters up to now and work on smoothing things out. This chapter was just to carry things over for until I get back to my precious laptop.
Also I will not be following both the Demon/Hero and Isabel/Lune at the same time in my upcoming chapters. The story will follow one then after one arc is done for The Demon/Hero I will move over to Isabel/Lune.
Also let me know how you liked my introduction arc. I personally think it was a little long but I had to explain what had to be explained before I can move onto the actual story. Enjoy.
