In the Realm of Night, Three Great Race ruled the world...
The Guardians of Screeching Abyss— Dark Elves
The Nobles of Nights— Vampires
The Heir of Darkness— Demons.
Violet finds out about the truth behind Luciel's birth, he was a vampire known as Nobles of Nights and last of the House of D'Nocthera.
The two demons raid their cave and found Violet.
****
The cave was echoing with attacks, one after another....
With every attack with a cave shook,
Violet hid with raven listening about the world, but then a loud explosion made smoke filled inside cave when the smoke slowly faded away Luciel was on the floor with blood under...
He laid their like a deep red carpet gradually spreading in the cave floor.
When the image of Luciel lying on the floor covered in his own blood appeared before Violet vision, her hands started trembling, her lips went dry, her eyes were filled with tears but before they could start flowing down a sharp pain struck her head.
It felt like nails were getting hammered in her head, the nails were weaved with threads of forgotten pictures... Slowly one by one...
The pain was tearing her head apart, her body forgot to breath and even scream.
"Princess! Princess! What happened!" The white raven looked at Luciel then clicked his tongue, he started flapping his wings "No! Princess listen to me! Don't worry-"
Violet grabbed the roots of her hair, started squirming around and then a loud sound of explosion echoed in her head, her vision became blurry and then completely dark.
"The pain! It hurts!" She was crawling in darkness slowly and then started climbing the darkness until she saw a small light slipping through the crack in darkness.
"It hurts! It hurts! Someone help me, help me please....." She slowly reached the crack and the crack slowly opened, there she saw a woman with black hair and blue eyes, filled with tears shining like sapphire in moonlight.
"I love you my daughter..." The voice echoed in her head and she cried out... "MAMA!"
The demon's sight moved in the direction of sound,
"She's there... We are done with him, let's get our bonus too."
Before they could even take another step forward, the red skinned demon foot halted with a scream turned squeak coming out of his mouth,
The green skinned demon heard the squeak and slowly turned to him,
"What was that?"
In instance clenched his fist and jumped back, he grinded his teeth in anger...
He saw the green skinned demon covered in red bleeding thorns, it was like a man walking covered in briar.
Then he immediately moved his sight to the place Luciel was lying in blood, he wasn't there,
"Where are you?! Where are you fucking brat!" The demon screamed,
Then slowly, red petals started flying around like ashes...
"I am not obligated to show you my face as the last thing you see, it would be a privilege for you..." The petals then started flying in rage with the petals slicing demons in many pieces.
The thorns on another demon were slowly digging in his body and then they vanished the next second.
He dropped on the ground and the silence came back to the cave again only momentarily...
"Mama! Papa! No don't leave me!" Violet cried...
"Princess! Princess!" The white raven was nudging Violet slowly,
She was still squirming in pain, Violet started crying hugging herself shivering like the winter she had forgotten once.
"Mama... Mama... Mama..." She cried like a baby, bawling her heart out, Luciel slowly walked to her confused, what is this emotion...
Why was she crying?
"What's going on?" Luciel was pressing down the wound on his waist, it was closing gradually.
"I don't know, I guess her memories are coming back but maybe they might only bring her pain so unknowingly the memories are being held back.
It's like a tug of war where there are memories and pain on one side and on the other side there was peace but a life without her identity and past.
Every pathway only leads to pain for her."
For Luciel past and pain wasn't a word that can be put together.
He looked at her face covered in tears and snot, "why are you feeling pain..." He whispered.

Luciel's PoV
The pain is burning, those demons really caught me off guard, I need to get stronger, I need to get stronger...to win back what is mine...
I pressed my wound and pulled a bottle of blood, I took few sips and my wound started closing faster.
I looked at the little girl, the she was crying and twisting in pain, he said it was because of memories...
How can memories inflict pain and hurt? You don't bleed when you remember something, you don't feel tired when recall anything...
So why pain? Is this anger? But anger can't make you cry? How can one cry because of emotions?
I was taught only three emotions my whole life,
Pride,
Pity
Fear,
Anger,
Pride for the blood I carry,
Pity for those who don't even have blood of highs,
Fear for the ones who dare to go against me,
Anger for those who wrongs,
Besides another emotion will became a baggage, it'll only make one weak.
And it is true, look this girl being hurt and squirming in pain just because of forgotten memories.
She suddenly stopped, her eyes were still half closed, her breath slow but heavy on her fragile body.
I knew she was human since the I found her, I kept her around as a maid, but she wasn't even competent in that role...
How weak they are, looking at her I feel nothing pity.
"How pathetic.."
The slowly breathed-
"Luciel... Luciel is hurt..."
When I heard her words I felt a weird feeling, like my heart was twisting,
"She is worried about me?" He gave flapped his wings and a pill came out,
"Hurry Lord Luciel give this pill to her, it will ease her pain and she'll be fine."
I was still thinking about her words, why such a weak creature worry about a noble like me?
Is she looking down on me? No she isn't capable of that,
A girl who doesn't even like to hunt to practice out of sympathy...
I picked up the pill and gently pushed it in her mouth, her cold lips touched my finger, I could feel the feint warmth of her slows breath on them.
I waited, then she opened her eyes looking at me...
"Little gir-" I wanted to ask how was she feeling...
"Violet" she said with a smile, "My name is Violet..." She spoke, she had smile on her face but behind those eyes, it felt like dam of tears were held back.
"Luciel, are you okay? Does it hurt?" Her hands reached for my wound,
"I am fine... What about yourself, you seem in pain..." I uttered,
"my mama... My papa, please take me to them, I must return, they must be worried, they must be looking for me..." Her hands touched my mine and she squeezed them in a plea,
"Luciel, what happened to them... Please..." Finally the tears started pouring out at once,
I see, I had a feint idea of what might happened to her, but I feel nothing but pity for, if she was strong not riddled by the curse she could've protected them and herself.
How these frail humans managed to survive this long is beyond my comprehension.
She was sobbing uncontrollably in my lap, this little girl...
Maybe not so little, same age as my fiance...
The moment I remembered about her the rage again started burning in my chest, that traitor who took my everything...
Why are they so different? That woman who was promised riches and reputation by my blood betrayed me, does she not know the value of oaths!
This girl on the other hand frail, has nothing to offer yet refuses to kill any fawn, any nursing mother of animal, what are these ideals?
Ideals of fools? She needs to be merciless, but she worries about me...
**A chuckle came out of Luciel,
Humourous...
Then suddenly I felt a rising aura behind my back, I turned and saw the green skinned demon who just by my hands was standing up, in one of his hands there was the limb of the red one...
"They've done it now!" Words came out of my mouth,
Hos body started twisting in gruesome fashion, the bones rearranged themselves, the flesh that was riddles with holes mended itself with the patches of the others skin.
His face twisted into something akin of maddened animal.
Another limb grew off the green skinned body, it was frail confirming that the red one was devoured by his kin...
His mana started rampaging and he screeched....
A terrifying screech that could easily make the strongest of beasts cower in fear...
"So this is your vengeance..." I uttered then before I could blink he threw the horn of his kin at me, it happened in moment I could not even react, this might be fatal....
***
Time felt stale for Luciel as the horn was about to pierce his head but then darkness covered his eyes...
"Is this death.... no it feels warm" the darkness soon unveiled from his face revealing Violet sheiled him from his death...
"No there is still feeling in my fingers, I can still breath... This darkness...this..." As Luciel saw the falling body of Violet something twisted inside him...
"Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?" He cried out...
And then what ensued was chaos....
