The world had been a scary place. Demons ran rapid amongst the living and terrorized the mortals whom roamed the Earth. The demons reigned supreme over all others.

Until the exorcist was created.

Exorcists were people blessed by god, who had the power to banish and kill demons. The exorcist profession became popular, and soon a lot of people paid for advice and rituals from them.

The most famous exorcists were those of the Kirkland family. They were able to use their magic and their connections to God to banish the demons to the underworld.

This would be the beginning of a world, divided. Humans now lived on the Earth's surface in joy, while demons lived in the underworld in misery. The demon royal family had much to deal with because of the Kirklands, so revenge seemed only logical. But there was no way for them to get to the family.

It wasn't until Arthur Kirkland slayed King Ivan's queen, Yao, that he really wished to end Kirkland's world. He didn't know how until he saw the small blonde boy.

That small blonde boy's name was Alfred.

Alfred was Arthur's son and the perfect opportunity for revenge. The Demon King wouldn't rest until he saw Alfred ripped from Arthur's arms like Yao was from his.

So, with revenge and hate clouding his heart, Ivan arose from the underworld. He extended his wings and flew until he reached the house that belonged to the Kirkland family.

It was a small comfy little thing that had surprised Ivan. He figured that the Kirklands would be living in luxury due to all the exorcisms they had preformed. But it appears not.

As Ivan descended closer to the ground, he noticed that a spell had been cast on the house. A spell to prevent demons from entering. Ivan however, was no ordinary demon. When the demon reached the house he easily entered.

Ivan couldn't help but let out a scoff. And to think these were the famous and powerful Kirkland exorcists.

"Iggy! Iggy!!! The night looks so pretty!" Alfred smiled as he stared out the window. Arthur smiled and gently took Alfred into his arms, rubbing his cheek.

"Yes, the night is beautiful. But, the darkness that comes with night is dangerous. You must always be accompanied at night, or else the darkness will snatch you up. A beautiful pure light like you will be a target to all those evil demons,"

"When will you teach me how to kill demons, Iggy?"

Arthur paused as he set Alfred on his bed.

"Someday, poppet. For now, I'll make sure you remain pure and sweet. My little man," Arthur kissed Alfred's temple and walked to his door, "goodnight, dear,"

"Goodnight, Iggy!" Arthur closed the door, leaving Alfred to glow in the moonlight.

Ivan flew up to the window that led to Alfred's bedroom. The demon saw just as Aruthur was leaving the room leaving the child alone. Ivan smirked evilly. Perfect.

Ivan reached a hand forward to open the window, but recoiled when he felt the tips of his fingers burn slightly. The platinum blonde looked at the window in anger and amusement.

It appears the windows were enchanted as well. How vexing. 'No matter' Ivan thought as he dispelled the window. Nothing could stop him at this point. As Ivan opened the window, he gazed into the room.

Alfred laid on his bed, dreaming pleasantly and sucking his thumb. He was so innocent, like a newborn lamb. Ivan felt his smirk grow larger as he reached for the boy, his thumb grazing the younger's cheek.
