(Old story, by Dyani)
Electric fingers danced across the velvet colored sky, shadows playing upon the buildings in the brief spotlight before disappearing once more into the eternal darkness of the night. Tears of rain would drop from the swollen clouds as they lazily crossed the night's sky, their intent seeming to almost wish to drown the small village as the armies of droplets cascaded down upon the houses and roads. Small rivers where already seen streaming through the flooded cracks of the brick covered road, and, if one so choose to follow them, they would soon find themselves walking among the puddles that laid hidden in the knee-high grass. Not many buildings where lit up as most had taken to bed earlier, and even the local pup and inn had closed down due to the storm, though, if a weary traveler did happen to pass by, the doors had been left unlocked. However, near the outskirts of the small village, an elder man and woman had taken resident, living in a rather small wooden house that wasn't in the most idea condition. The door hung loosely off its hinges while windows slammed loosely in the wind against their panes. The familiar sound of leaking water was heard as the small gaps in the roof invited the rain to come inside and lastly, heat would not come to warm their 'cozy' home.

Perdita, the wife of the poor man, was rather plump in appearance, arms tucked against her sides like the wings of a bird. Her face was rather horse shaped, her eyes squinty and dense, looking quite comical with the oval shaped nose and pouty lips that didn't compliment her at all. Age had taken its tull upon her as well, leaving years of wrinkles upon her frame and the once honey colored hair was now as grey as ash from the fireplace. At the moment, she looked quite identical to a flustered hen as she hovered above her husband, face twisted in anger.

"I don't care what you think, Adrius, I still don't like it. There is something wrong with it I tell ya. And mark my words, if you let that...thing stay in this house, it'll be the end to us! Besides, we don't need another mouth to feed as it's hard enough just to feed you and me!" She would wave her hand in disapproval as casted a cold glare at the winged creature, it in return swaying its tail ever so slightly as it let a soft murr come from its throat.

"I can't just throw it out Perdita. It came to me in need of help. We both know that there are hardly any living creatures in the Alcemion forest and, I just don't think its here to harm us. Besides, I'd bet it don't eat much. Drodia won't be trouble at all to us." The man was completely opposite of his larger wife, his body lithe and boney. There was something about him, whether it be an expression or just an aura that had always drawn animals and people to him, and this is exactly what had caused the little Duibel to come to him.

"Drodia?! You've already named it?! I will not have this Adrius! Not in my house!" The woman stomped away as she marched into the kitchen, a black iron pot foaming at the edges as the rather thin soup heated in the hot waters. She would stir it quickly, before tossing the ladle rather roughly on the counter, her actions clearly stating the degree of annoyance she was with the situation. Adrius would watch his wife with sad eyes and even a sadder heart, shaking his head in slight shame while a hand reached out to lightly pat the slick skin of the Duibel.

"Very well. I guess things need to change, huh Drodia? Let us go, before things get worse." A series of noises would come from the small body before she would find herself being picked up and cradled in the man's arms. He would walk steadily towards the door coming to stop when his wife called to him.

"And where do you think you're going?"

"Drodia and I are going to live somewhere till she's old enough to live on her own. My dearest wife, though I wish there be another option, but I know something is special with her. I know deep down in my heart I have to take care of her." The man, turning his back to his wife for the first time would walk out the door and into the rain, the Duibel shivering slightly as the cold drops touched her skin. Pulling his cloak around his neck in a rather awkward position, he would cover the Drodia to protect her from the rain, a smile coming to his soft lips.
"I know of a small hut in the forest we can stay in for the night. What do you say to that girl?" The Duibel would rub her head playfully against the older man's chest, her hard curved horns grating against the material and pushing into his skin.

"Good, I'm glad your happy."

The hut was no more impressive than the house that was left behind. In fact, it was in worse condition than the first, but it did have a roof to put over their heads and a dismal hay bed that had been forgotten when the owners left. However, it truly wouldn't take the two visitors long before they where curled up with one another, Drodia snuggled on his chest for warmth, and soon slipping into the hands of the dream realm. For Drodia, she dreamt of games to play, childish tricks and fun times that would soon come. For Adrius, his dream was different. In his dream, there was a lady. She was extremely beautiful, even he had to admit it. She was very thin and lustrous, her ebon hair hanging long and low as it flowed wild and free. And, which he had to look twice to confirm, she had wings. Beautiful crimson wings that folded neatly against her back, accenting her soft ivory colored skin.

"Adrius, son of Marious, lover of all living things. In your dreams I have come to you, to tell you a story that has been forgotten among the tongue of humans. A story, that hasn't been told in several centuries. One of a race known as simply, the Duivels." Her voice was like honey, flowing soothingly and quite pleasing to the ears. Looking around, he would notice, for perhaps the first time, that he was in a strange land, one almost identical to his own home, yet the slightest differences could be made. But this was a dream, after all, so Adrius allowed these things to go by unfazed. Instead, however, he did sit down calmly as he awaited for the lovely maiden to tell her story, she in turn, shifting slightly as she stared off into the land, her slender eyes seeming to focus on the furthest mountain.




Your world is not the only world to exist in the heavens. For, in truth, there are more than one can count in a lifetime and each is slightly different from the other, varying in their own unique ways. At the moment, some are at war while others enjoy the simple peace that fate has brought them. Others have been casted into the cold heart of shadows while some thrive in the bright light. There is, however, one that hides in the shadows of all this Chaos, one that is hardly noticed and one that seems to be as important as a piece of grass is to you. This world, is called Dranatio. For every being that lives in your world, there is one in theirs. Split souls one might assume as there is not much research into the mystery of this. In the beginning, there was only one Duivel. Her name was Norashia and she was as beautiful and as graceful as a swan. Nobody knows truly as to where the female came from, but they do know that she was all alone, and with time, she split her own soul into two, forming her brother, Teron. Teron was everything his sister wasn't. He was as dark as the deepest abyss, his heart cold and his hatred well known by all who met him. Some claim that when Norashia tore her soul into two, that her brother was all the evil that had been in her body.

However, Norashia didn't care that her brother was darker than her and she loved him just the same as well as cared for him with all her heart. As time continued to take its toll new species would arrive upon the small planet and the two Duivels continued to live together in a large stone castle that could only be reached if one had the ability to fly. Thus, they lived in peace for several centuries as none but them had wings. However, no reign of peace ever seems to last for on the night of the dark moon, Teron found himself highly aggrivated. He lashed out at everyone and thing, distroying his home apart with his razor claws, while throwing objects down towards the ground. Some say, that this is what created the pits and holes that surrounded the small planet and that the tears from his sister's weeping for her brother is what filled them with the fresh water forming lakes and ponds. Teron continued his tyranting all through the week and when a month had passed by, his sister approuched him with the utmost caution. He was sitting rather calmly in a chair that had been laced with Syrathian skins, and his legs and arms dangled loosely over the sides. The large study, which had always been bright and cheerful, filled with colors as the rays of the sun grazed the beautiful pictures was no longer so. Instead, the room was dark as a raven's feather, the pictures had been long destroyed and instead, a head of ever specie now rested as a trophy in their steed.

"What have you done Teron? What has angered you so much that you have killed without reason?" Norashia spoke with a heavy heart, falling to her knees as she begged for her brother to change his ways. To let the evilness to leave his heart. In response he only laughed coldly.

"I have the heads of all the species on Dranatio, save for one. The head of a Duivel. And, dearest sister, seeing as I can not cut off my own, it shall be yours that I take." And with that, he beheaded his loving sister, who did not fight nor try to stop him as he committed a horrible crime. Legend has it, when her body fell onto the ground, her crimson blood streamed across the castle's floors in ringlets before dripping off the edges of the floating building and into the sky, and with each droplet, a Duivel was born. They also say, that while Teron watched with horror as the Duivels formed, his sister came back to deliver a message.

"You are no longer worthy of being a Duivel, brother. From now on, you are a race without name. A creature that will forever be consumed into darkness and soon, will destroy itself. With time brother, you too will kill yourself." Teron, at the time, didn't heed his sister's warning, but true to her words, within five years, Teron did destroy himself, bursting into a thousand pieces. Each piece, like the blood drops of his sister, became a member of the new race. Dezars as they would soon call themselves, mortal enemies of the Duivels. And this, Adrius, is where you come in...."

The man was slightly baffled as he stared at her with widen eyes, having saw the entire story play before him with each line the woman had spoken. Running a hand nervously through his hair, he would look at her with an expression that might be familiar with a lost child who didn't know what to do.

"What can I do? I..I don't know what I can do..."

"When the war began, all but a handful of the Duivels where killed, slaughtered like pigs by the Dezars. Rumor has it, that when the soul of Norashia saw how the Duivels suffered, she sent them far away from Dranatio, to a land where they could live and grow and to one day return to battle when they where old enough. Drodia, is one of many that has been sent here, and she needs your help. To love her, take care of her, and teach her. She will learn quickly and grow. But one must be careful as they watch over the Duivels, as members of the Dezars currently work to resurrect their fallen lord. Teron."

"But..but I can't! This..this is to much for me..." The old man would sit down heavily, as if he had just walked in from the fields, thick hands rubbing his face.

"You can Adrius. You have been chosen by her as a guardian, as well as many others. She is only one. And, when the time comes, she will need to return to Dranatio and join the battle to end the war between the Dezars and the Duivels. And the Duibels can not afford to loose...if they do, all worlds will be in danger.." The woman would purse her lips before turning around, the faintest of lights surrounding her form her body slowly fading into the light, becoming nothing more than the faintest memory.

"Wait!! Norashia!! I will need your help!!" The old man seemed to jump up as he reached out to grasp her wrist, only to find himself groping then air.

Sleep now, Adrius. I will be watching all of my children and their guardians. I have faith that they will defeat the Dezars..

Adrius went to say something else, he knew he did, he even remembers opening his mouth to do so, but the next thing he would come to remember was the annoying light shining through the cracks of the hut, and the small creature still curled against his chest. Sluggishly, he would rub the sleep from his eyes before reaching out to lightly stroke Drodia who in turned uncurled as she stretched, the lovely leather wings unfolding to their full length.

"Well, I don't know about you, but I slept well last night Drodia....and we have much to accomplish if you are to be ready to return home.."

Adrius would be one of the many guardians who would find a Duivel in need of their protection and care. There still are many lost and alone, searching for one to take care of them; however, something that Norashia failed to mention was, like her brother, a dark heart can unknowingly be inside a Duivel, and with time, darkness too would consume them, engulfing them into the darkness of the world in which the Dezars thrived in. And nothing could save them then. Not even the first Duivel, who would come to loose one of her many children.

Breeding will be open later.

Rules For Breeding
1 - All Duivels must have been teens for at least two weeks before breeding. Dezars must be adults.
2 - Gender doesn't matter in breedings. Duivels are, after all, magical beings to a degree. Male/male, female/female, male/female. Whichever.
3 - Duivel females must be given one month to recuperate after having babies. Depending on whether or not they're lifemated, males have to wait at least 2 weeks.
4 - Duivels may life-mate, or may not. It depends on their personality.
5 - Meetings must be rp'd before a couple can breed or be lifemated.
