Long ago, before mankind knew the world, the realms of existence sang in harmony. The Heavens played their soft melodies, the Pits of Hell had their raging inferno, and the Mortal Plains sat along in silence; for it had no one to make a sound. So, the great Primordial Beings of Creation made something to make that sound.

Man.

Humans.

This creation was so strong, that it gave birth to a new realm. The Ethereal Realm. And from this came the Promises. Mankind was given five everlasting Promises to survive: the Promise of Order and Balance, Promise of Chaos and Destruction, Promise of Justice and Strength, Promise of Love and Hope, and the Promise of Forgiveness and Freedom. These five Promises were the first of many, they were known as the Forever Promises, and they watched over humanity for centuries.

Yet, the other Realms were getting curious about this new creation. So they sent their Purebeings and Hellbornes to watch and observe. This was the start of Paras; supernatural beings that roam the Mortal Plain behind the mystic Veil made by the Ethereal Realm.

All was peaceful.

Until she came.

The Promise of Chaos, Friday, was always looking for trouble, and she saw the most trouble in the mortal world. She would go there often to cause anarchy among the humans. But she knew both sides of humans, the good and bad. She was responsible for it.

However, she wasn't the only bad part of human nature. Another Promise, Basal, the Promise of Betrayal and Dishonesty, wanted to be recognized as a Forever so badly, he was willing to do anything to gain the position. And he used Friday to get it.

On one of Friday's visits, she was accompanied by her sisters and two brothers. Together, the five Forevers traveled to the noble kingdom of Brynth. Brynth was known throughout the lands for being the kingdom of order and peace. Crime was almost non-existent. Many wanted to live there, but only the wealthy could survive. The King noticed the Forevers enter within the walls of his city and was intrigued to say the least. Not knowing much about the supernatural, he decided to learn. After days of searching, he found nothing, until a shadowy figure gave him a mysterious book.

The Book of Basal.

The book corrupted the poor King's soul, making him crave power. He summoned the Forevers to his palace to welcome them to his noble kingdom. But really, he just wanted their power. Basal just wanted their title.

During their stay, the King captured the youngest Forever, little Chance, Promise of Forgiveness and Freedom. The other Forevers rushed to save their little brother, but they were too late. The tainted king killed the innocent Promise with nothing but an iron blade, and the influence of a greedy being. The blood spilt on that blade transformed it into a cursed weapon. The Immortal's Bane. But the death of a Forever, the first death of a Promise, did something to the world, and those present.

The Promise of Order and Peace grew cold and distant. The Promise of Justice and Strength brewed distaste and hatred for humans. The Promise of Love and Hope ripped away mortal's chance's of a true love. And the worst of all; Bloodlust consumed Friday. She decimated the entire kingdom of Brynth, killing everyone and destroying everything. The whole kingdom was wiped from history and existence. Forgiveness and freedom started to fade from people's lives. Dictators ruled, many became slaves. The world became a darker place.

But Basal got what he wanted. He found a weapon to rid himself of the Forevers and means to obtain it. He would become a new Forever Promise at last.

Yet, unfortunately, it only gets worse.

Friday's thirst for death sent her on a rampage, not only killing corrupt mortals and Paras, but rouge Promises. She broke the law of the Ethereal Realm, and because of that, she could no longer return to her home realm. Friday was cast out, labeled as the Broken Promise, and trapped on the Mortal Plain.

However, no one knew that when a Promise kill a Promise, their essence fuses together. All of the Promises Friday killed were imprisoned within her mind, driving her mad. Insanity plagued her, making her unpredictable and even more dangerous. No one could control her and all who tried would be met by a gruesome end.

Until she met him.

Sorin Hellton. The Rouge Alpha. Kicked out of his pack for being the bastard son of a wolf and a hound. The first Hellwolf. He reeked of fear and hatred, making him enticing to Friday's tainted heart. And eventually, they fell in love.

All was happy, but they forgot one being that didn't want the happily ever after.

Basal.

He saw the potential power that she would gain if she were to have a child with the hybrid. Therefore, he cursed them to always die when they found happiness. She would watch him die a terrible death, then be stabbed with the same blade that slayed her brother. Over and over again, for the rest of eternity.

For centuries, this curse has acted, leaving Friday encased in stone, asleep but feeling the pain of death continuously. Waiting for the day she can claim one more life and finally having total chaos.
