Luz and the other failed to stop Belos on the day of unity, Belos managed to get through the portal and cross into the human realm. Nobody believed him, nor believed that the demon realm existed, that is until he met a girl named Maria.
Philip crossed into the human realm, he was satisfied on what he has done all these years and is ready to tell everyone what he's been through. He walked through the forest looking for people or buildings, still no sign of people. The leaves were rustling, the wind was cold making him shudder a bit even though he is wearing a coat.
After some time he saw a city in the distance and some people too, he grabbed onto his coat and took a deep breath and walk towards the city. He walked through the bustling sidewalks, people gave him strange looks on his attire, some giggled and whispered when he came close to them. He saw a water fountain and headed towards it, pushing through the crowds of busy people. "Excuse me I have busy things that I need to attend to." He said pushing through the crowd while some people complained behind his back. He stood on the edge of the fountain and shouted, "Everyone listen up if you have a moment please." Nearby people stared at him confused. "I need your attention as I am about to tell you something bizarre."
A crowd gathered near the fountain surrounding him, "I have suffered and witnissed all the wrong doings of witches and sorcerers in the demon realm!" The crowd of people were confused and were staring at him with weirded out looks. "Behold..!" He began to say as he was reaching out a book from his shoulder bag, he took it out and showed it to the audience, some gasped. "It is my journal, it shows my adventures throughout the demon realm."
"If what you are saying is true show us the inside!" "Yeah! We don't know if youre lying!" The people said, "Very well then." People started recording and Philip opened the journal, people let out a disappointed look on their faces as the journal's pages were ripped. Philip awkwardly laughed towards the audience, "I—I have other proof I have.." The crowds of people near the fountain started to lessen as they found out he is lying. "Wait! Do not go, I command you to..!" He sighs and sits down at the edge of the fountain." He slicked his hair back, he took out parchment paper and a quill and an inkwell from his shoulder bag. He started to write on the paper very focused, some time pass by the sun is already setting.
A frog hopped next to him and he got startled, the ink fell down onto his shirt and pants. "You little..!" He sighed and kept his cool, he wiped the ink from his shirt and pants with a small towel but some stains still remained. He put back the inkwell and parchment paper in his bag and carried on his way. He needed some new clothes to fit in with other people but he had no money, as he was walking he noticed a big billboard on one of the buildings.

He had an idea, he would seek help from this designer and persuade her to help him with picking out his clothing. But how would he contact her? He squinted his eyes at the bottom left corner of the billboard, there were numbers on it. "Excuse me, may I ask you something? What are those numbers on that billboard right there?" He asked a nearby person and pointed at the billboard. "Hm? Oh those are phone numbers, how do you not know that?" "Sorry I may have uh—forgot." He was confused as he didn't know what a phone was, "The world really has changed ever since ive been in the demon realm." He thought to himself, "Right how do I use it again? The phone numbers.."
"Oh, like this." The man showed on how to use and how it works. "You can use my phone to make a phone call if you'd like." "Please." The man gave Philip the phone, he typed in the phone number written on the billboard and dialed it. "Hello! This is Mari Designs, How may I help you?" "Hello, yes uh— I saw this number on the shiny big screen and— I'd like to meet with that designer." "Ah the billboard, sure, i'll set up your meeting with Maria at a Sunset Cafe tomorrow morning, sound good?" "Cafe—? uh— yes alright." "Good, Maria just said she's looking forward to see you, bye now." The call ended and Philip handed the man's phone back to him. "Thank you for your acquaintance." "No problem man." They both go in their seperate ways, As Philip was walking he noticed a large crowd gathering around someone, with camera's flashing and people talking. He went over and take a look, "Maria Wright over here!" "Maria can I take a selfie of you?" "Maria!" "Maria!" Was this the 'Maria' Philip was going to see? He managed to take a glimpse on what she looked like and she was stunning, her dress was flattering and elegant. He was speechless as he saw her, Maria noticed this and they both made eye contact, Maria smiled at him and Philip was a bit shocked. Philip managed to flee the scene and end up at an alleyway, it was indeed the 'Maria' he was going to meet.
