The arms of the hulking beast hung nearly all the way to the ground, and were thick with rope-like muscles that bulged with even the slightest of movements. With virtually no neck, a squat, squarish head and pig-like nose, it solidified in his mind the fact that this thing was definitely not of this world…" Angeline Deglace, a golden-haired nineteen year-old mage, is a 2nd-class 'Detective' within the 'Order'; a collective of mages that, along with their counterparts in the Knights of Aegis, seek to keep the world safe from the shadows, and free of the threat of Daemon...
