Many Years Ago, in Hell...

In the streets of the city, there are many different demons walking around doing their everyday business. Among some of the demons in an alley, there is a small hellhound who looks awfully familiar. The little hellhound is actually Loona.

Back then, Loona had no piercings, and her hair is a lot shorter up to shoulder's length. Loona is wearing a navy-blue skirt, a white shirt underneath and is wearing a grayish black hoodie over her. There are some signs of scrapes, bruises, and dirt on her.

Loona is sitting on the ground as she slightly eats a piece of bread and cheese, she is able to take from a store. The girl has her ears lowered in sadness as she eats the food. Once she's done, Loona begins to leave the alley and walk down the streets of the city. She walks along to see so many different demons either staring down at her or ignoring her, which makes Loona feel very uneasy. She clenches her tail in uneasiness.

Suddenly, Loona hears the sound of thunder and rain begins pouring down. Many demons begin to panic and begin to take shelter. Loona does the same thing. She runs down the street and runs into a different alley. Loona soon finds a few cardboard boxes and hides in one of them to get away from the rain. Loona soon begins to shed tears and curls herself in a ball as she pulls her knees close to her head.

Loona says to herself, "Why? Why do I have to live like this? I... I wish I could have a mommy and daddy... I want to be loved and cared for, and to be happy. I want a real family... A real loving family..."

Suddenly, some strange glow appears behind Loona. Loona turns her head to see some speck of bright red light. Then the strange light becomes larger and turns into a portal like a vortex. Loona gasps in shock and slowly begins stepping back in concern. Before she has time to process or think on her feet, the vortex begins to vacuum everything within rage, including Loona. The young hellhound ends up getting pulled into the portal and through it just as she's able to let out a scream. The portal soon sucks Loona in and closes in a matter of seconds before anyone can come over.

Moments later...

The young hellhound ends up flying through the portal and the portal closes soon after. Then Loona crashes to the ground and feels her body getting wet from on the ground and in the sky. Loona groans and is able to lift herself up. When she looks around, Loona finds herself in a strange wood she has never seen before.

Loona looks around, "Wha-what is this place? Where... where am I?"

Just then, the thunder and lightning booms and flashes into the sky, scaring the young child. She scrambles up her feet and runs through the forest as the storm continues on. Loona is so frightened and upset that she doesn't know what to do. The small hellhound looks around to find some shelter. Loona soon sees a very large hollow tree. It may not be the best idea, but what else can she do? Loona takes shelter in the hollow tree. She sighs in relief. Just then, the lightning and thunder startled her, causing the child to curl herself up in a ball and shake in fear as tears fall down her face.

Time has passed...

The rain begins dying down and the storm clouds begin disappearing from the sky. Normally, people and other creatures don't really go out during the rainy season unless they need it. It's the same case as two, Blitz and his wife Crystal. Crystal is tall, slim, and fair. She has fair skin and pointy ears. She has long, elegant, straight, dark purple hair that goes down to her knees that is now braided. She also has beautiful sapphire eyes. She also has white angel-like wings and a white halo with a glowing light purple aura.

At that time, the two are newlyweds, and are out looking for herbs and plants that can be found easily during the rainy season. Both of them are wearing raincoats, boots, and umbrellas.
