Chapter 1: A Powerful Encounter

Good day everyone, I am the noble narrator of this here tale, I may be shrouded in mystery but please refer to me as "playmaker Destro', PMD for short, I'll be telling the story from my point of view as I observed it. Thank you.

On a sunny afternoon with not a cloud in sight, noise can be heard coming from an abandoned warehouse where a lady with long beautiful brown hair faces off against two demonic spirits, the spirits fire off a wave of malovelence at her but she easily brushes their attacks off with her spiritual light, using her light she easily banishes both demons with enough time to spare, from nearby a different voice can be heard screaming out "Mavis Mavis are you okay" to which she replies "I'm fine, it was nothing Mariam". Mariam begins to scold Mavis for her recklessness stating how dangerous it is to rush in alone when dealing with evil spirits but the nonchalant beautiful Mavis with a smile simply nods towards her in agreement as she remarks it's time to go back, prompting both girls to be on their way. Meanwhile at a distant building top an eerie light skinned handsome young man with white hair and red eyes laid down basking at the sun as he laments to himself "Humans can be such annoying creatures aren't they" to which he is replied by an appearing man dressed with skin as pale as though he were dying "indeed, master" drawing attention to himself the pale man reports " my Lord, we've located them", upon hearing these word with a smile on he's face the dark handsome young man stands to he's feet as he replies "lead the way".

Shortly after they both step into a pub filled with tough looking men, these men not only looked like thugs but had a look that seemed to say "I will break you", not flinched by them both men walk to the counter with a confident swagger where the light skinned man orders a drink as he notices all eyes are fixated on him he smiles and says loudly but calmly " Shall we begin". At roughly the same time Mavis who happens to be around the area being extremely sensitive to the spiritual world senses a sinister energy not far from her location and immediately dashes off to the source much to Mariam's dismay, the closer she got to the source the darker the weather looked as though nature was warning to stay away, upon arriving at the source she notices that there is a magical barrier surrounding the area, despite Mariam's continuous fears not to go further Mavis breaks the barrier and steps in urging Mariam to wait outside, upon arriving at the scene, she sees a scenery out of a horror movie with corpses littering the ground and at the forefront she sees a faceless being sitting atop them all while leisurely whistling as though he enjoyed he's job here, with an angry tone she asks "did you do this" to which she gets no replies, Mavis being sensitive to the spiritual world could tell immediately she set her gaze on this being that it was nothing like she had ever encountered before, it's sinister energy was so thick that it was hard to breath and so vast that it seemed to swallow all that felt it, she could feel every instinct in her telling her to run but as though tossing logic aside she steps forward and attacks this being with her spiritual light but to no avail as it showed no effect whatsoever, as she gives herself distance from the being she casts her magic spells to banish the creature but once again to no avail. Finally the patient creature steps towards her and stops in front of her before saying "little girl, don't be in a hurry it's not your time yet" as he walks closer to her once again she lets out a loud scream shouting " you demon" and a powerful blinding light envelops the building afterwhich her knees felt weak and gave out as she fell to the floor but Is instead caught by the creature before she hits the floor, upon noticing he had gotten a slight scratch on he's face the creature remarks "What an interesting human", as she loses consciousness she looks upon he's face clearly for which there Is no flesh but only a skull and asks "what are you" before losing consciousness completely.

She later on opens her eyes to a worried Mariam looking down on her as she calls out her name with tears dripping down her face, Mavis looks around and sees that the entire pub is without a trace of anyone but them, she mutters to herself "I need to become stronger to one day vanquish that Demon". At a different location, the same young light skinned man last seen at the top of the roof is sipping wine from a glass served to him by he's pale skinned servant who asks "master, you seem lively today" to which he replies "I met an interesting human today, I would like to know more about her" but as though realizing what he's servant had just said he pauses for a bit and says with a confident smile "me, lively surely you jest, how can lively be a term associated with the spirit of death himself" to which the servant replies "of course, lord death".
