The night was silent as no mortals wandered throughout the frozen streets below. Sitting upon an arch of an old cathedral, it's dark turrets raising themselves up into the everlasting night and looming above the mortal realm in the most imposing manner, Gundham looked down upon the mortal realm, as the many ghoulish gargoyles surrounded him and were grinning in the most malevolent manner.

Gundham Tanaka was one of the most powerful demons within the realm of the living and as well of the holy realms of the demons and angels. His name alone brought fear and terror within the deepest parts of a mortal's soul and no holy being, no angel, no demon and no god, could rival his never-ending dark powers. Wherever he went he would bring chaos and destruction as he fulfilled his unholy duty and punished all the sinful mortals that dwelt within this cursed realm. Many foolish angels and even some delusional mortals have tried to stop him over the hundreds of years where he had wandered the mortal realm, yet all of these foolish fiends have found their bitter end against his powers.

Sitting upon the arch, Gundham watched the snow he had summoned with his icy powers fall upon him in silence, as it covered the mortal realm and froze everything it touched. He had always enjoyed the icy element as his own natural powers were deeply connected with this element and because of the devastating power something so inconspicuous could have. A single snowflake could turn into a deadly storm within a single breath and destroy everything that crosses its unyielding path of destruction.

Watching the snow, Gundham's eyes then caught the sight of a bright light shining throughout the darkening clouds that covered the night sky. He knew what this light had meant and he was intrigued as the light grew stronger before it moved within an almost undetectable speed towards the front of the cathedral as an angel with pearly white wings and bright pink hair appeared. Due to himself being high up and it being dark, Gundham could not see much more of the angel as the holy being's eyes seemed to scan the realm around himself. It seemed as if the angel had been on the search for something, either a mortal that was in the need of help or he was searching for the source of the unnatural snow, Gundham himself.

As Gundham had not been in the pleasure of good battle for a long time and was beginning to grow bored with having no mortals in the open to unleash his powers upon, he decided that the angel was a perfect pastime and had came into his cursed life like a higher calling.

Giving a dark smile and showing off his fangs, almost mimicking the gargoyles around him, Gundham raised his black wings. "My, you puny angels must be getting more foolish with every breath that you take, to wander into my territory all alone." The angel jumped on their spot and turned towards the demon, as he landed on the frozen snow only a short distance away, his hands shining in a mysterious light as he summoned unholy powers to prepare himself for a battle.

Now that Gundham was closer, he was able to have a good look at the holy being before him. The first thing he was able to notice is that the angel seemed to be of the male kind and that he had striking pink eyes in a very similar colour of his wild hair. Though what Gundham found the most intriguing was the sharp teeth the angel seemed to posses, which was a feature usually only demons possessed. Though it was not unheard of, only rare.
