1. Demons

Fire, a burning apocalypse that razes the ground. Lightning that flashes across the sky. And then... an overwhelming presence. It was as if time stopped. In that one moment...

His eyes shone.

Now, you all know demons. Horns, claws, wings and whatever other dangerous appendages that they can throw in. But, in reality, only the lowliest of peons would need to fight with such a grotesque form. Nowadays most demons choose the humanlike appearance.

There was one demon who was unlike any other. His eyes like an endless abyss that draws you closer, with an almost paradoxical, glistening black hair smoother than silk and a scarf blowing in the wind. This human, no... Demon. Is like a light house in the presence of fireflies.

But, no one pays a glance. That is because of the tranquil cover of shadow that surrounds him like a blanket. It is almost like he was one with the shadows. With it's help even the most careful people would not be able to notice him.

Yet, even though he was hidden so far there was one man able to sense him.

"There you are!" (???)

With the arrival of that voice came a loud crash alerting everyone in the vicinity. A cloud of dust so big that it could cover a house arose, shrouding the scene. Then, without warning, the dust all stopped and fell.

"What do you want... Travis"

In the cloud of dust revealed a man with a shocking figure. If one had to describe him in words it would a 'muscular mountain'. Muscles in every corner exuding every corner of his body. His arm extended in a fist towards the defenseless black haired youth.

What was surprising was that the youth was able to stop the fist with only the end of the scarf. The scarf, while looking quite pretty, didn't seem to fit as a weapon, and especially not armor, to fend off the man's fist.

While staring at the youth, the man answered.

"Of course I want a rematch!" (Travis)

"No"

And this is how the story of the legendary demon duo began.
