HISTORY & PLOT
History
Long ago, when the world was young, demons and humans lived together in harmony under one rule. King Radian, the king of all humans and demons at the time, was a good ruler and ruled all the world fairly. Demons were not able to summon their powers on their own, but required a human to create a contract with them. This contract, sealed with a kiss, bonded the two together allowing the two to feed off each other powers. No one ever quite understood what it was about the humans that made them special enough to summon the demon's powers, but they knew without the humans, the demon's were practically powerless.
In this time, demons and humans relied on each other and worked together to do whatever they needed to accomplish. King Radian took pride in his kingdom and he and his queen loved their subjects. Even they couldn't see what was going on behind the scenes in one of the nearby villages.
A demon called Zephiel was hatching a terrible plan to take over the throne and completely wipe out all of the humans. He thought it was unfair that the demons, who were far superior in strength, were treated the same as the wimpy annoying humans. They were humans after all! Pathetic! He kept himself quiet, building his strength in order to take over the kingdom and make this world his world. A world where demons ruled!
Years passed and as the rest of the world continued to live peacefully, Zephiel gathered demons together who agreed with his views and vowed to help fight and even was able to possess a few humans to join against their will.
The day had finally come. Zephiel and his army began their quest to wipe out all humans and made their way to the castle to take over King Radian's throne. Thus began a ferocious battle between the demons and humans. The death tolls were catastrophic. King Radian gathered his troops together and did everything in their power to hold off Zephiel and his followers. After many days of fighting, the king was victorious and Zephiel was captured. Seeing the horrors that one demon had made on the human world, the king made a difficult decision.
Using his powers, he created another world. Here is where the demons would live from now on, an order from the king. Any demon found on human ground would be killed, no exceptions. King Radian and all of the demons left the human world, refusing to go back after all of the damage they had caused. The two worlds were connected by two large doors in the outskirts of the Palace. These doors were sealed by the great power of the king, only to be opened by him.
Centuries went by, the humans who loved demons died off and eventually forgot all about them, but the demons never forgot. True they lived hundreds of years longer than the humans did, but they had become much more bitter towards them. Though some knew the truth, a good deal of the demons harbored a deep hatred for the humans for causing them to lose their homes, families, and everything else, for those demons didn't know the truth of the origins of the war. Centuries had passed, yet King Radian had only aged physically a year or so. In this time, the king had a son, Yukito, who was slowly becoming one of the greatest okami's ever alongside his father. Yukito was never interested in being king. He lived his life how he wanted and wasn't ready to be giving orders. When the king began pushing the the idea of Yukito taking the throne, the young prince, though he would never admit it, felt scared and ran away from the palace. Afraid that some of Zephiel's followers would come after him, the king sent his guards to follow Yukito and to do everything in their power to bring him back.
The king did his best to be just and fair no matter how his son and subjects acted, but it was difficult for him to be away from his people in the human world. They had become an independent people, with no one to guide them, though they were ready to be on their own, it was still difficult for the king. They were still his people even though everyone he knew in the human world were dead. One day, the king had an idea. Were the human and demon worlds ready to be united once more? Picking his test subjects carefully, the king created a plan, he would send a few demons to the human world to test if they were ready to be one again. Yukito saw this as his chance to get as far away from his father as possible. Without his father's knowledge, the prince sneaked over the border.
Even worse, Zephiel has recently broken out of prison. The humans are now in danger, which only made this more of a race against time. The humans needed protection.
This is where our story begins...
Plot
The demon king has sent a few demons into the human world to allow them to create contracts with each other and to make each other stronger once more. The demon world still had many evils lurking around every corner, and the king knew this full well. The humans needed to be ready, and the only way to do that was to have them create contracts with the few demons he could trust. The humans had no idea all of this was going on. It is forbidden to let the humans know of the demon's presence unless they have found a human strong enough to create a contract with.
Demons and humans need to work together in order for the worlds to survive. The king is praying that the humans can handle living around the demons as their ancestors had done before them. What's the worst that can happen?
