Most of the area is covered in trees, they are tall enough to submerge its surroundings into deep darkness. After when the devils settle in some towns and villages have emerged scattered around the land. The main city is called Narva, the buildings in there are similar to the modernize Romanian architectures, there are a lot of places to work and to hangout, but most of the devils prefer to work in other cities, especially Slinich.

Deep into the land grows a tremendous tree called Opheros, according to the legends, this tree is demonic which grows from the underworld, when sufficiently nourished, grows a fruit that imbues any devil that consumes it with divine powers, only one fruit can grow every few thousands of years, whoever consume the fruit, will be bestowed with unlimited powers.

There was a price actually that Damien will grant if one of his daughters manages to beat him in battle, in which he will be granting one of them the light of the brightest star in the universe and converting it to any shape that they desire.

They were listening with curiosity, asking questions every now and then, in their eyes they are grown up women with supernatural powers, to their mother's eyes they are still young, like kittens sitting next to their mother for warmth and protection. 

It is 2 in the morning, the sky is still dark and cloudy, the smell of the heavy rain that was downpouring the day before, covered the ground with puddles here and there, the sound of the early birds starts to chime, as a sign that a new day is about to begin. The lights were off in the mansion, and everyone was in their rooms sleeping.
