Draxx was sitting on top of a tower. He came to this specific building to think about events of his past or present. He usually didn’t do this unless he was stumped or the feeling would bug him until he figured it out. As his dark, midnight black cape waved in the wind, he watched the bright lights of the city. Like cherry blossom leaves floated in the air. It helped to see these beings known as ‘humans’ behave on the street. With their dramatic emotions that tend to get in the way. Demons, like himself, never had to worry about such futile things. It was simple, you lived or died. You mated with a strong breed or a weak breed. You walk the light or darkness. But Draxx knew better, he shook his head with a smile on his face, he walked down that path before. It nearly killed him, but something made him sane again, made him whole.

He gently pushed the hood off his head and looked up at he stars. He never knew that he would meet somebody who was so much like him and yet, different in every way. He closed his eyes and imagined that one faithful day.

The humans of this realm were easy to invade, they were weak and hopeless. Calling upon their God for help. His blood red eyes and stained fingertips that smelt of the weaklings he had annihilated. The feeling of wiping them out brought out the most terrible desires. Back then, he was at the top of his game. A vampiric, fire demon, no one could stand in his way. He was a young demon with dreams of his race being superior then these humans! With his dark green hair and red eyes, he resembled an angel. A fallen angel, was what best described him, he thought.

"Die you weak humans!" Draxx yelled as he leaped in the air, people scattered everywhere. Screaming and crying.

"What is that thing? Somebody get the Shisai and the Senshi! Believe in our Protectors and all will be well!"

Draxx laughs evilly. Nobody would come to save these pathetic fools! How can demons have some much trouble with these villagers? They were simpletons! He ran through the village, killing anybody who stood in his way or injured ones that were even looking at him funny. The n he heard a high-pitched cry, he stopped his rampage and turned to see a child. With his unique eye sight he can see that it was a little boy, apparently he was left alone, unprotected. He laughed again, once again an easy kill! No one will survive!

As he was running at top speed, he was inches away from the child when he felt himself being flung back by something. As he was tossed in the air, he spun in midair and landed like a cat on the ground. When he looked, he noticed a blue and red Spirit Shield! Only the Chosen were able to produce this much power to form it!

"Demon!" A female voice roared.

As he was turning around, he saw two women. One was a Priestess, with dark skin, the color of the Oak wood. She had dark hair and appeared to be holding a Crosier. The other woman, looked to be a year younger, but notice the clothes she was wearing. She wore a white kimono, with a red cloak that hung around her arms. In her hands was a Trident. She was the same as the other woman, a dark skin complexion, Except for one detail that stood out among the two. The eyes. The Priestess had the color of the flames in the village that he created, and they were orange. The other had his color eyes, but one eye was a shade lighter. Both women were standing a distance from him. Did they really think they can stop me? I am a Demon of the Darkness, and I will not be tamed like some common pet!

He raised his hands to claw out his next victims, but as soon as his arms were to his chest. They were slammed together, as if he was to be mummified. He struggled to free them, but to no use.

"What fresh hell is this that you two wenches have put upon me?" Draxx roared.

The Priestess, was holding her glowing Crosier, it had a blue aura around it. "You have been bound by me. My sister and I will send you back to the Darkness, where you belong!" the Priestess announced to him.

"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO! You will not send me back! Damn you both to the pits of Janaak and Hell! If you send me back, you will regret this day!" Draxx cursed.

The other girl gave her sister a fearful look, but didn’t want to take his threat too likely. Her Trident was starting to lower a little. The other sister notices this and said in a calm voice, "Kia, ignore his feeble attempts to brand us. He is another lost soul. Feel no regret, shame or sorrow for him. He has damned himself."

The other sister nodded, "Yes, Kay! I understand. I will not waver."

Draxx’s eyes widen in shock, the two Chosen Guardians! He gulped and closed his eyes. This will be his very end. These two women were the sworn enemies of Demons. Now that he has remembered the names, he feels like a fool. Kay a natural born Priestess that had mysterious powers, she dedicated her life to ridding the world of our race. Then the younger sister, Kia, a warrior of many talents. Unlike her sister, we heard tales of her being something far worse. Though no demon has lived long enough to say what it is or gain sanity back to reclaim it. He was going to be exterminated by the legendary slayers.

As he closed his eyes, waiting for that final blow, he sensed something. That girl Kia, some sort of a(n) connection to her, maybe a link. Minutes passed and no blow. He opened his eyes to see that the girl known as Kia didn’t finish him off. The older sister, Kay, gazed at her and looked as if something dawned on her.

"Is he the ‘One’ sis?" Kay asked.

Kia turned her head away, "I can’t, I just can’t! I don’t why, but I am getting a vibe from him,"

Her head hung low as she lowered her Trident, then gazed at her sister with those deep eyes, "My apology’s Kay."

The younger sister walked away from him and walked back to where she was before his rampage. The older sister turned her gaze back at him, then nodded more to herself then him.

She raised her Crosier and the Bondage spell was taken off, he moved his arms around freely.

"Why are you both letting me go? I could just attack again, again and again!" Draxx sneered.

Kay just gave a smile, and shook her head, "You still don’t get it? Don’t you feel it? You will understand one day."

She turned back to where her sister headed off too. Tending to the helpless.

That was what started his life, meeting Kia. It felt so perfect to him. Like two pieces of a puzzle reuniting at last. Draxx left the building roof top and started leaping from building to building. It was so easy, his lightening quick speed, his accurate sense of smell, and also his thirst. As he was running, he leaped down one store building and leaped on top of a moving car, it was heading toward his direction anyway. Though he was part Vampire and part Fire Demon, it wasn’t easy being half of something else. Nobody really cared what happened to you and you were always the first person to be blamed. It was so natural toward those kinds of people. So Draxx sort of made himself into a class of his own. Where he followed his own rules and destiny.

He stuck his nose into the air and smelled all the other scents, but only one person’s scent stood out among the rest, "Kia" Draxx murmured.

Before he does anything else for today, he had to feed. He would do anything to protect Kia, by all means necessary.

He would lose his life if he had too.

If she ever went rogue, he would kill her and then send himself to that eternal oblivion, so they would both be together in the end.
