Dancing with Demons

The girl sat alone on the grounds of the forest, with no food, no company, no shelter and no warmth except for the little fire she created using her bare hands. She spent days like that, stealing food from her nearby village she used to call home, hoping that nobody would notice her suspicious presence. She just wished she had someone to talk to, until her wish finally came true. Out of nowhere a misty blue portal appeared next to her, Orabelle backed away, frightened at first but the magic portrayed by this portal lured her in closer, giving her a sense of comfort, she stood up slowly before someone came falling out of the very portal, face planting onto the ground. A blonde haired kid laid there in front of her before standing up, dusting himself off, "Hi there!" He presumably seemed excited, "My name is Alister. I'm a dream demon... well that's what I call myself, I really don't know what I am but I mess around with peoples dreams, not in the bad way but I just came from a realm where I can gain access to someone's minds, I call them peoples dream bubbles but I don't really know what they are. Oh I'm rambling on again, I'm sorry, what's your name?" He asked simply after beginning to talk about his entire life story. "Um, it's Orabelle... what are you doing here?" She asked curiously. "Oh right! I should probably explain myself. So I was walking around my home when I spotted your so called dream bubble and you seemed sorta lonely, like you needed a friend and so do I, so that's why I thought we could be friends. You get what I mean right?" He asked, "Mhm.. I'd like that a lot." Orabelle nodded during her response. Alister gasped, "This is going to be great!" He said happy as ever. Orabelle stared at him for a moment before asking, "Alister. You said you were a dream demon correct?" She asked, "Yes I did." He agreed with her statement, "Alright, that's good to know." Orabelle mentioned, happy that there was another kid excepting her for who she was, someone just like her.

Ten Years In The Past...

Alister was born, he was more likely created as a being. It all began when these three witches where working on a spell, hoping to bring someone from the dead, back to life, but they needed a test subject. So they went to a nearby cemetery next to their little hut in the forest, and dug up the body of a deceased child who must of died at least a couple months in advance, since there was a bit of decay on the body. During that process they needed to prepare the body, stitching together some missing pieces to the body, closing up flesh with a single thread. Until it was time, reading a spell from an ancient spell book, the body began to float in the air, the boy's eyes lit up, turning his previously dark brown eyes to a piercing bright yellow. A life was created but not the life they were hoping, they weren't planning on creating a demon with powers, just reviving the body. The body blinked a few times before looking around, still floating in the air, using one of his many powers, he then spotted the witches who appeared disturbed, not knowing what to do.

Later on, they decided to raise him, giving him the name Alister. Teaching him some tricks and spells to use which he enjoyed learning about, until the point they didn't really want him anymore. The three witches talked in another room while Alister was reading a spell book, "What if he overpowers us someday?!" One of the witches whisper yelled, "We have to get rid of him then. But we can't just kill him or tell him to leave." Another witch added, "Let me handle this." The third witch spoke with a firm tone in her voice before leaving the room. The other two decided that it was best to leave it up to her.
