PROLOGUE

In the beginning, the world was a beautiful and harmonious place ruled by Balthazar, the supreme ruler of Paradise. Balthazar had two sons, Azazel and Lucius, who were both immortal and shared their father's power and responsibilities. 20,000 years old, Azazel was the god of thunder and lightning, and he revelled in his powers, always looking for new ways to test his strength and authority.

One day, Azazel's lust for power got the best of him, and he challenged his own father to a fight for the throne of Paradise. Balthazar, not wanting to back down from his own son's challenge, accepted the duel and set the stakes high - whoever won would become the Supreme ruler, and the loser would be banished from Paradise forever.

The day of the fight arrived, and Azazel and Balthazar clashed in a fierce battle of thunder and lightning. In the end, Balthazar emerged victorious, and Azazel was cast out of Paradise, left to wander the mortal realm alone.

Filled with bitterness and anger, Azazel began to wreak havoc on the world, causing destruction wherever he went. Balthazar knew he had to stop his son before he caused irreversible damage, so he sent his most trusted servant, Grimstone, to find Azazel and put an end to his rampage.

Grimstone found Azazel and cursed him, trapping his essence inside a pendant and rendering him powerless. Cursing him into a deep slumber for 10,000 years. While on his earthly mission, Grimstone came across a fairy named Rose. She was unlike any creature he had ever met before - kind, gentle, and filled with a radiance that warmed his heart. Grimstone found himself falling deeply in love with Rose, and before he knew it, he had decided to leave his immortal life behind and settle on Earth with her.

Grimstone and Rose got married and started a family. As time passed, Grimstone found himself growing more and more attached to his new life. He began to forget about the immortal world he had left behind, and the pendant containing Azazel's curse became nothing more than a keepsake of his past life.

However, Grimstone's descendants continued to pass down the pendant from generation to generation, unaware of its true significance. It eventually ended up in the possession of a mortal woman named Anna. Isabella's mother, who kept it as a treasured heirloom.

On her deathbed, Isabella's mother gave her the pendant, and Isabella found herself drawn to it. She could sense that there was something powerful and ancient inside it, but she had no idea what it was. Little did she know that her destiny was intertwined with the curse inside the pendant and the being who had been trapped inside it for centuries.
