Legend said Harpies, a Mystical Creature that has a form of a bird and a human, are agents of punishment that abduct mortals to the demon king, Q Maou, to be tortured. The innocent are damaged, the weak became the strong, and those who lived an ordinary life lived as hunters, also known as the Poachers by the Harpies. Their mission is to hunt Harpies, make them extinct to prevent their race from being abducted again.
A Harpy is known as a half-human and half-bird species. Poachers believes the Harpy's duty is to abduct mortals and bring them to the Demon King and the father of the harpies, Q Maou, as an offering. Q Maou needs the offerings to let himself live longer, each offering lets the harpy grants one of their wish. Most believed that it's a myth, believed it's a legend, believed that they are still around in the present day. But the tradition has been sealed away, they no longer continue to the dark path and repeat history. Unless, someone with a high ego is determined enough to do so.
Poachers hunt Harpies to make them extinct; their leader wants these birds to perish, they had a suspicion that one of the harpies will betray their own kind to repeat history again, reviving Q Maou.
This story will be mainly in the Harpy's POV unless otherwise indicated.

Persephone has been raised in Olympus all her life - her mother absent, her father a cruel king, with her siblings teaching her all they know. She has seen all of what the gods and goddesses do and she is sick of it. When she learns her safety is threatened by staying in Olympus, she flees to the Underworld. There she stays until she learns that her leaving has caused the world to wilt. But leaving behind her newfound friends and Lady of the Underworld is something she will not do willingly, no matter the consequences.
