let me tell you of a tale, Not just any tale, the one of the demon contractor family and how they came to be.

in the late nineteen century in hell, live a demon general named Barzzel the destroyer whom served under one of the seven kings of hell.

 Barzzel was a formidable warrior, one who had never failed in doing his master's biddings.

 IN the late nineteen century Barzzel was tasked with a mission to retrieve a holy relic from the human world, the relic was to hold with it the power of a god. Barzzel's master wanted this power for himself and so did the other kings of hell.

since the discovery of the holy relic one thousand demons had been sent to claim it but all had been vanquished by the protectors of the relic, Arc mages was what there were called.

and so then Barzzel's master "neferious" summoned Barzzel from the heart of war to clam this prize for him. Barzzel at once took with him a company of fifty demons and went to the human realm .

 (in the human realm) barzzel arrived in a place called "el paso de la cree " known in English as place of death, Barzzel and his demons began their search through the island. they spent day,and days turned into weeks,and weeks into a month. Barzzel began to lose his patience for he had long for the sound of still and the smell of blood. Barzzel sat in the corner fantasizing of an endless battle, when one of his demons reported.

demon "sir we have located the holy relic".

 Barzzel " are you certain demon" 

 demon " yes sir we senses its presences on a being whom discusses himself as a human".

 Barzzel "were is this being".

demon "we have some demons following him there in the jungle".

Barzzel "pray for your sake you're right".

 Barzzel and the demon's headed deep into the heart of the jungle to confront the being. on arrival Barzzel saw an old man standing before him but he could sense the presence of the relic.

 Barzzel " you have with you something i desire".

The old man "what is it you desire demon, the crucifix sword of the saints"?.

Barzzel "ahh! so that's what you call it, my master called it a relic,are you a arc mage"?

The old man "what i am is not of your concern".

Barzzel "hand me the relic and i shall spear your life".

The old man " hahahaha, stupid demon your treats have no effect on me".

the old summoned a light sword. and spoke this words to Barzzel.

"the relic you seek is within my body if you want it then, you must tear me apart".

this words pleased Barzzel as the demon general known as "destroyer" had a smile on his face. Barzzel summons his blade,a blade forged from hell.

He fire and attacked the old man.

 They began a furtious battle using the elements fire and light. the old man possessed wings of angel,wings so bright that the demons were almost blinded by it. Barzzel was sure that this being was an Arc mage. there clashed swords and the jungle shook, the old man took to the sky throwing down bolts of thunder, all the demons took cover. Barzzel body was immune to thunder, barzzel return's the attack with fire balls. 

the fight lasted for five hours.

the old man then swung his sword towards Barzzel's head, Barzzel blocks and punched the old man into the sky, he leaped up locking his fist together, he then bashed the old man back to the earth.

he stamps his feet on the old man chest taking out his blade and carving out hole in the old mans chest.

Barzzel then reached out for the relic.

old man " what is your name demon"?

Barzzel "your a great fighter, so i will tell you this i go by many names but i am called Barzzel likham, destroyer of race. 

old man (laughs) "i will not forget that name".

As Barzzel stood upon the old man a stroke of light blasted him away. before Barzzel could get up, he was standing in what was left of his demon solider.

 he arouse and looked up and saw three arc mages in the sky above him .

 Barzzel stamped his blade on the ground sat on a log of wood and spoke. " So you must be the Arc mages" he laughs reluctantly. "Have you come to die like your old man" He said.

One of the Arc mages spoke.

" his name is Michael and you only defeated him, because he took the form of an old man, hand over the crucifix sword and return to hell demon".

 Barzzel replied "my master those not take likely to failure, and i am not one to cowardly run from battle, so let get this fight over with". Barzzel picks up his blade and began to run towards the mages.

Two mages engage Barzzel in battle with their light swords.

Barzzel summons an axe, throwing his sword at the first mage, then leaping forward facing the second.

 the third mage still in the sky sent down one hundred bolts of thunder towards Barzzel. 

the fight continued and the exchange of power spread chou's into the atmosphere, people living on the island were terrified.

So the Arc mage caused it to rain heavily preventing people from leaving their homes.

The battle lasted for about two days. Barzzel realized he was no match for the two mages.

 The third mage whom stayed up in the sky grew tired of the fight, he then drew light from the earth and blasted Barzzel to a mountain.

Barzzel's body broke into the mountain.

 AT this moment, he knew he would be defeated, but the feeling of defeat did not sit well with Barzzel, for he had never been defeated.

the Arc mages flew to the mountain. one of them spoke "i acknowledge you demon, you have held your own against two of us for two days, give up now and we shall spear your life".

Barzzel replied "what is life without honor" as he lifted his head "i have killed thousands, and i will kill again, life to me is worthless humans, demons all creatures under the sun perish".

The Arc mage "so you have made your peace with deaths".

Barzzel "i had made my peace with death years ago, but with defeat never "el raz hav wilfse jik moldhu ".

Barzzel began to speak in accent demon tongue saying i "summon fire from the depths of hell that burns brighter than the sun, i call upon Laval from beneath the earth to raise and consume me ".

before the mages could stop him Laval and a flood of fire tore the ground and consume Barzzel, destroying everything within a mile of Barzzel leaving behind a waste land.

 The next day a well known adventurer known as Alexander wallrat, journeyed to the island to see for himself what had happened. when Alexander arrived he was amazed at the site,

locals had swore, They saw flying beings and demons.

many believe it was just a natural disaster cause that was the only logical explanation, but Alexander was a man who believed in the supernatural.

Alexander and the men he took came close to the battle field.

 People said Alexander was mad for believing in the supernatural, but Alexander suspicion were clear when he found demon bones.

One night Alexander was researching, when he came across the mountain Barzzel leveled.

he saw a light coming from a distance and decided to go check it out.

 On arrival he saw a man laying in the ashes, Alexander called out for help and returned the man to camp, the man slept for seven days and when he finally woke up, Alexander ask the man what his name, and the man replied Barzzel.

 Alexander then asked Barzzel can you tell me what happened.

 Barzzel replied "i have no memory of who i am".

Alexander told Barzzel not to worry that his memories would come back to him as there spoke, Alexander's right hand man Curtise jumped into the tent, Barzzel' sensed his presence, Barzzel grabs Curtise by the neck and question who he was. Alexander asks Barzzel to calm down and he then introduced Barzzel to Curtise.

 Alexander "this is my right hand man, Curtise".

barzzel "am sorry i dont know what came over me".

Alexander " how would you like to accompany me back to London".

Barzzel not knowing who he was agreed and leave with Alexander wallrat.

Barzzel became Alexander's body guard and soon after many years became a Lord and fell in love with Alexander's older daughter Amila.

One day lord Barzzel together with his wife Amila were coming back from a banquet passing through the bringham castle. when their carriage was attacked, nine of their body guards were killed.

 Barzzel walked out of the carriage and said " who there's to stand before the great Barzzel likham"

 All the demons stepped back because there stood before a demon general. 

One demon spoke out loud " Barzzel the destroyer, was my brother you are just what is left of him".

 Barzzel "watch your tongue brother".

The demon known as Disaster, Barzzel's little brother

Disaster "we thought you were dead,we felt your presence leave this earth how is it your alive"?

Barzzel "the reason am alive, i do not know".

Disaster "then you mingle your self with this worthless humans".

Barzzel "i never intended to stay brother, but after the battle i lost my memories and leaved my life as a man for some years, by the time i regained my memories i had fell in love with the human world, i had found a different purpose than killing, i became normal".

Disaster "no brother you became weak and you will die for that, where is the relic brother".

Barzzel" i cannot hand it over to you".

Disaster "our master demands it".

Barzzel " my answer is no brother".
