Lucifer felt cold. So cold that the air hurt his skin, his body felt like he was in the coldest part of Gaies with nothing to keep him warm. Sweat flowed down his back till his Beast hide clothing was soaked full of water. His muscles could not unclench themselves from their cross-legged position, no matter how much Lucifer wanted to run away from the beautiful draconian in front of him. But the most significant feeling Lucifer felt was an overwhelming sadness that came from his soul. A sadness so profoundly deep it was hard to explain where it began and where it meet it’s end.

“Lucifer you are the scion of the patriarchal family of Nephilims. Your father is the current patriarchs son, thus you are the grandson of the Nephilim patriarch. And should your father’s family learn of your birth they will summon all the nephilims around the world to come and find you. They might use you as an experiment in changing their own hated bloodline or they may love you for what you are. The choice they make will put their entire race’s survival at stake, so it may not be the latter option. This is only your father’s family and the least of problems in your later years. The true issue is your mother and her family. But that will wait until you are 10 years old; as your mother has asked of me, I will teach you all that there is know about your draconic heritage but you must be 10 years of age for that.” Yue said with a soft smile at the mention of Lucifer’s mother. The only woman that she truly had respect and love for.

“But I will finish my lesson with one additional note for you. One race besides the Nephilim were eliminated during the Great War. The demon race. Demons were a magical race with a blessing with Mana much like the draconians of today. The demon race perished because of that same power. They were the most powerful of the races with their peerless magical abilities and this fact is still known today. But demons had very warlike dispositions, prone to violence and a love of bloodshed. The demons once were brought under the leadership of one demon; the one that was named Mephisto after the Archdevil of Combat Mephistopheles. Mephisto, conquered every demon kingdom and created the greatest demon army in the world. He then led the demons to assault every known people around the great southern continent. This conquest forced the rest of the races and certain Gods into uniting to combat the demonic threat. After a series of overwhelming victories the demons were finally defeated by a new being.

The draconians. A race made by the King of the Beast Kingdom, the Godly Dragon. A being stronger than the Prime Gods. The Godly Dragon asked his son and daughter, the Dragon of Night and the Dragon of Day to sacrifice their lives in order to stop the demon legion. The two siblings readily agreed as their father’s words were law; and with the almighty power as the King of Beasts, the Godly Dragon changed his son the Dragon of Night into a two legged man. A man 9 feet in height with broad muscular shoulders and well defined muscles. Black scales covered his body, wings sprouting from his shoulder blades and a spiked tail from the small of his back. As his son became a dragon like human; The Godly Dragon cast the same magic upon his beloved daughter, the Dragon of Day. Like her brother the Dragon of Day became a two legged being but this time a woman. The most beautiful of women the world had ever bore witness to. A body sculpted by the most divine of beings she was as immaculate as the most holy virgin. And her body became like her brother’s: wings grew from her shoulder blades, her spine grew into a tail from the peak of her buxom bottom. But unlike her brother’s midnight black scales that replicated the night sky, her scales were golden like the rays of sunlight that blessed the day.” Yue spoke with reverence at the mention of the three Dragons. It was as if she held those three dragons above everything in the world that she owned. This behaviour bewildered Lucifer. How was it possible to speak with such respect and blind idolization to a being you have never met before? Eric, was the strongest warrior Lucifer knew. As such the man held the highest spot in Lucifer’s mind. Strength was what is truly revered among Beasts, and Lucifer had grown as Beast for almost his entire life. So it was no wonder that Eric held an almost religious effect on the boy. Whereas the history of how his maternal lineage did not invoke any sense of wonder and awe.

“The two siblings then left their father to aid the races fleeing the demonic legion. They flew on their mighty wings amid the sky, until they reached the location of Mephisto’s advance. Landing amidst the one sided slaughter of dwarves, orcs, humans and elves the siblings began to slaughter the demons. A complete turn around. Mephisto had been defeated and the news spread fast. Prime Gods rallied, the races of Gaies rallied and began a counterattack against the demons with the siblings at the lead. After years of bitter war the demons under Mephisto were killed and the villain himself beheaded. Demons were then hunted to extinction by the survivors of the war. No one wanted another Mephisto to be born, so demons were deemed too risky to be left alive and were sentenced to death by the rest of the world. The siblings then choose to settle down and procreate their new race. Named after the mighty dragons they were born from the new race was dubbed the draconians. Eventually the race’s pure dragon bloodline started to dilute over time, the people slowly losing their draconic traits of scales, wings and tails. Soon only royal lineages possessed the draconic traits albeit rarely if at all. This brings us to present day. Draconians are alive and well, though they are feared by some races, it is nowhere near the fear that demons invoke. This is probably because of our low birthrates and gradually diminishing bloodline.”

“Now this should make you understand why your mother could not keep you and had to let you leave. You have been given the Nephilim’s Inheritance. Survival alone, in hostile environment, for 6 years. And once you turn a decade old you will begin your Draconian Inheritance. This is why you must wait till your tenth birthday before I tell you of your mother. Understand Lucifer?” Yue said in her usual flat and cold voice as her icy blue eyes stared into Lucifer’s heterochromic eyes.

Lucifer could only dumbly nod to the draconian woman. His mind reeling at the sudden influx of information that was still assimilating into his brain. There were just too many shocks too soon to leave the boy with any sense of knowing what to make of them. So he sat there staring blankly ahead of himself as his mind raced. Thoughts of his father being hunted by inquisitors and bounty hunters brought forth a great and unparalleled rage from the depths of his being. But the rage was stifled as thoughts of his mother and what great past she had that she could not afford to risk him raising him herself. A maelstrom of rage, sadness, loneliness and fear spun in Lucifer’s heart. The storm of emotions wrecked the little stability the boy had as an ‘abomination’ in the midst of childhood. With no contact of loving parents and lack of any social interaction, Lucifer is an immensely fragile child.

Luna, who was out hunting in the forest for Lucifer to eat suddenly stopped her hunt. Stalk still, she stood among the great trees and bushes of the forest like a statue. Then like a thunderbolt, Luna launched her small black body back towards the cabin. She felt something was terribly wrong with the world. She felt like her brother was in danger or even worse yet injured. With fear and anger alternating between her auburn lupin pupils, she ran as fast as her legs could carry her to where she left him. Luna’s speed was so fast that it seemed as though she ran through the shadows of the trees on the ground. Her black body disappearing and reappearing as she travelled through the forests winding boughs.

Yue who was watching the boy in front of her, felt an oddly relieving feeling. A lack of the urge to mate with the hybrid child she was tasked with taking care of. She was then left with a unknown sense of loss. For almost an entire year the urge persisted constantly, it took her whole self control to not mount and rape the young boy. Now that the damnable urge was gone, she was left with a hole in her daily life. Something that is constantly on your mind will eventually create it’s own niche in your heart and that was exactly what happened to Yue. She missed the constant pleasure and moisture her heat brought her as she lived her life. A thrill soon became apparent in her, as she went through the verge of climaxing in the presence of two of her closest companions and the child of her master. Even the thought of having sex with Lucifer soon became a deadly taboo that her heart unknowingly began to crave. As she thought of how this urge became what was now an inseparable part of her, sudden chill took the air. Dark clouds began to converge over the clearing of the cabin. More specifically over Lucifer.

Luna felt the change in the air much earlier than Yue could physically feel it. She was almost at the cabin where her brother sat. She could see the silhouette of his sitting body. His wings folded shut, his hands gripping his knees, his head unnaturally fallen forward and his tail lay limp behind his body. The feeling of danger grew as she approached him. Soon the world felt the change that she felt. The wind became sharp and cold like an executioner’s blade. The sky grey dark as if the night had come early, only missing the great moon hanging in the sky. Black clouds swirled and spiraled above Luna’s brother and the lizard-bitch that stood in front of him. Luna became even more terrified as the clouds in the sky grew darker. She was almost to her brother, she knew she could stop whatever was happening to him. But alas she was doomed to be late.

Black and golden light broke through the pitch black clouds, as if a dark god let his presence known to the world. The pillar of black golden light fell down onto the frozen Lucifer beneath. The force the light fell down blew Yue, the cabin and the fast approaching Luna flying. The cabin became ruble at the shockwave of power the light created. Yue and Luna were infinitely better off, thrown all the way to the edge of the 200 meter wide clearing. With relatively severe external wounds Luna was left the best off, Yue was much worse. With both of her arms broken and her ribs fractured Yue was in desperate need of care or else she would die.

As the two females were blown away, Eric and Jasmine were traveling towards a small town outside of the forest. Jasmine had thought it would be the perfect time to bring the fangs and scales of the Aqua Fang to be smelted and made into armour and a weapon for Lucifer. Agreeing and being the labour for the trip, Eric followed the extremely happy elf to an alchemist of some renown that was not too far from where the forest the group lived in was.
