The Xemphists, a race of divine peaceful beings that decided to stray from the path of violence at an early stage of their races growth. They despise the demon realm, yet one Xemphist found a certain peace to their kind. The race itself would derive from a different platform in terms of leadership, it all based of the deeds their people made, good ones pure of heart that only Xemphists were capable of. The xemphist that saved the demoness that was placed into their land became the king of the Xemphists, the demoness being a queen in disguise.

They both had a daughter who's name was Angela, such a beautiful child that the Xemphist race wanted to stray from old ways and keep a royal system. The princess was that beautiful with such a rich burst of Magic filling her veins. This same child would grow to become a teen, learning an abundance of light magic that all seemed to be more potent then normal Xemphist tradition, she was a promised child praised and titles the Goddess of the Xemphists, and declared the final push to end the war in her future time.

Angela would soon perfect her own light magic, able to master it within days of being a adolescent,  this Goddess was one gofted magical user, studying how to use abilities back to back without chants and any books or spell-casting required. Angela while a prodigy in magic also like everyone was bestowed a weapon. The weapon was  a Katana, a quick and fierce blade that was able to use spell casting within it. Though a powerful weapon she refused to ever fight with it. As an adult the war raged and erupted into a world of chaos that plunged the Xemphist against their own peaceful nature and now they decided to act.

"Milady its almost time that we head towards the courtyard for our meeting with your arranged marriage with holy knight Xeroph" her maid would speak in a soft melody. Xemphists accepted all races in a peaceful harmonic arrangement. Angela would close her eyes as she nods "yes Kaylisa, I understand the situation let us leave" she eyed her friend a race from other realms. A nekonillia, a race of humanoids that also were born with animalistic traits entirely.

"Let us go Kaylisia" Angela would begin to walk towards the towering doors as she would hear commotions from the holy lamps. Magical objects that would be able to cause communication between other Xemphists alone.

"Oh my seems the demon forces have striked again, this is quite the sight races at war and the demons always invading, yet they never sent any warriors worthy of satisfying our own warriors" Kaylisia states as she hums.

"Our warriors are blessed by the goddess ateria herself, while the demons are cursed by Nazylus both are chaotites that understand magical capabilities far beyond our consciousness " Angela said calmly.

"Woah? Really?" Kaylisia asked calmly as her softened eyes would study the goddess before her. At the opening of the gates Angelas eyes widened as she saw the warzone from the balcony above. It was him the demon prince himself a warrior bestowed magical capabilities beyond any Xemphist holy knight or celestial alone. The one who can rip through any armada with a simple fist. Rune the Demon God. A prince deemed a god among the demons entirely.

"Thats..." Kaylisias voice was shakey... full of fear at the sight of the demon before them. A blacked wing would spread as he would then bolt towards the Courtyard as he tore through more and more Xemphists. The castle gates now crashing as Angela would then spread her white feathered wings bolting towards where the crash lead. She landed on the roof peering down as she watched Runes gaze meet her mothers.

"What brings the great prince towards our courtyard on this fine evening...." The queen asked the demon prince. Before anyone could say a word, a male approached the holy knights head general. Xeroph, a Celestial Holy knight one who held both titles of the Celestial Knights and the Holy knights together.

"A wimp like you would dare tread on holy lands without warning?" He asked. The demon would glare a hue would then bolt towards the Knight as he began to channel demonic energy over his body.

"A filthy Xemphist dares speaks to me... im not hear to consult with lowly trash... only to consult with the queen..." Rune would then in a split second suddenly have blood pour down his arm. The sudden beats echoed through the courtyard as eyes widened in utter shock. The glare never once left the demon princes eyes. Gurgled words could be heard as the pulses kept going and the sudden squelched sound was made.

"Even the best of the knights couldn't handle one strike... all this armor amounts to nothing when the man behind it trembles in utter fear" the removal of his arm from the Celestial Holy knight as he fell silently to the ground. Runes eyes now to the queens "and now for my next order of business" as the blood that once ran down his arms formed into a spike in quick succession and was fired suddenly a ray of light would peirce from the sky and shield the queen.

The crash of what seemed to be a landing could be heard. And a ray of holy light would shoot through piercing the flesh of the demon himself. A scoff was heard as the wound healed but a scar was left. Now both royals looked upon one another as Angela confronted Rune.
