Ophelia, Rias's older sister was going the visit her at the ORC along with myrtille and this was a day she was looking forward to for 2 weeks due to being busy at home and will be staying in the human world for 6 months to spend time with her sister and her friends.
She would be staying at a mansion her parents bought for her whenever she decided to visit Rias.
Ophelia was awoken by a bright light in her room, she opened her eyes to see myrtille opening the curtains letting the fake sun of the underworld in her room
"Rise and Shine my lady," myrtille said gleefully
"Morning myrtille," Ophelia said rubbing her eyes
Ophelia got up and walked to the table where myrtille had put her breakfast, she sat in the chair and started to tuck into the meal that was prepared for her
"Any news on the Dead bandits?" Asked Ophelia
"No Lady Ophelia, but some people have Concluded that A wild beast or The Vampires were responsible," said myrtille ironing Ophelia's outfit
"Vampires?, haven't met a Vampire before have you met one?" Ophelia asked finishing up her meal
Ophelia walked behind a curtain, to change out of her sleeping clothes
"No I have not my lady," said myrtille looking at the ground sadly
myrtille quickly snaps herself out of it
"Oh and Lord lucifer wishes you luck on your visit," said myrtille
"How very nice of My Darling brother," said Ophelia finishing getting dressed
"What do you think?" Asked Ophelia spinning around
"You look wonderful," said Silane
"Aww thank you," said Ophelia
"We'll time to go," said Ophelia going to leave the room with myrtille
Ophelia and myrtille head down the hall in the gremory mansion owned by Ophelia's family
And they soon bump into a very large breasted woman with flaxen coloured hair and violet eyes
"Ophelia I wished to say goodbye before you go," said The woman with Flaxen hair
"Thank you mother," said Ophelia embracing her mother
"How long will you be gone?" Asked Venelana
"I'm going to visit Rias for 6 months along with myrtille," said Ophelia
"Oh I'll miss you," said Venelana looking Sad
Ophelia hugged her mother and Venelana seeing this rested her head on Ophelia's shoulder
"That reminds me of you meet any handsome boy do introduce me to them, I want to make sure they're right for you," said Venelana making Ophelia blush slightly
"M...mother," said Ophelia
"What I know you like the dangerous types just like I did," said Venelana looking at Ophelia with a smirk and one eyebrow raised
Ophelia was slightly annoyed by Venelana teasing her

"You must be off soon, I can't wait till you get back," said Venelana giving her a one kiss before walking away
Ophelia said goodbye to Venelana before leaving and Ophelia prepared a magic circle for both her and myrtille
They both stepped into the magic circle and were transported away to the human world
As Ophelia was away for her visit, Jared was out at night along with Isabella on the hunt for a Stray Devil that was causing the murders of the Town of Kuoh
Jared was unusually Silent as both he and Isabella walked through the dark alleyways and streets
"Your Quiet Tonight Jared," said Isabella trying to break the silence
"I'm concentrating," Jared said in response
"On what?" Asked Isabella
"Searching for Strays" Jared replied
Jared continued to search for a Stray to kill but after a while, He smells the sweet scent of fresh blood on the air which can only mean one thing
A stray Demon has killed a human
Jared and Isabella then race towards where The scent is coming from and arrive at an old storage warehouse on the edge of town
They open the doors to the building to see a large demon feeding on corpses of humans
The beast smells The pair slowly turning its head with parts of flesh still hanging from its mouth
"Ah Fresh meet," says the creature in a raspy voice
Jared drew his sword "Kinslayer" and point the tip of the blade at the demon tilting it slightly so it catches the moonlight which casts light on Jared's Scar
"Tell us monster why have you done this" Isabella Demanded to know
The Demon snarls at him
"Your both Not Human are you?" The Demon asked Growling and sharpening its claws on the wall
"no..." said James as his sword is covered in Red Lightning
The Demon let out a demonic laughter
"Your not a full devil either are you?" Asked The Demon
"Enough Talk monster let's finish," Jared said before taking a stance
"You know we aren't so you and I," said The demon
"What?" Said, Jared
"We are monsters you and I, I can smell your rage, hatred it is exquisite," said the demon
"We are nothing alike," said Jared
"That I'm not so sure, but tell me are you ready to meet your fate," said The demon getting ready to charge
Jared nods, and the demon lets out a large roar before Charging at the pair, but they dodge out the way Jared look at Isabella and Tells Her ready herself as she summons Void Magic in her hands
The beast readies itself once again summoning a fireball in its mouth before firing

Jared Draws its fire before ducking just in time for Isabella to fire a volley of Void Magic at the demon
The Demon to transfixed on Isabella takes a swipe but Isabella quickly disappears through a portal
The demon readies itself for an attack but looks around to see no one it looks around the room before being hit by Isabella using claws made of Void magic to slash at the demon taking it by surprise
Isabella appears and attacks the demon before disappearing using her magic
"Is this all you got, I must say I am disappointed I thought strays were supposed to be strong but you're pathetic" Isabella taunted the demon with a smug grin
"I'LL SHOW YOU THE MIGHT OF HELL AND WIPE THAT GRIN FROM YOUR FACE, said the Demon who glowed a fiery orange before two Blades of fire emerged from his arms
At this point, Jared entered the Fight and Fired a volley of his Red lightning at the Enraged Demon wasn't paying attention
(Imagine it Red)
He fired them at high speeds, shooting through the air they impacted the Enraged Demon blowing half the roof of the Warehouse off
Then Demon charged Jared and swiped at Jared once the Demon reached him with a look of fiery rage in its eyes
"I'LL EAT YOUR SOUL!!!" Shouted the Demon
"Hmph" Jared Sighed
Jared Grinned at The demon delivering a backflip Kick to the Demons Jaw and deliver a powerful Wave of Red lightning at The demon sending it flying back through the wall and into the next drop off area of the warehouse
The Demon gets up from the rubble seeing a huge burn mark on its chest, Jared seizes the opportunity and when its guard is down Dashes forward towards the demon and chops its arm clean off with a single swing of Kinslayer
The Demon then Roars in pain before stumbling backwards on one knee, Jared has defeated the Demon, with little effort pointing his sword at The Demons Neck
But The demon has other ideas and slashes at Jared but he narrowly misses and he jumps back allowing Isabella to fire a Void arrow tethering The Demon by anchoring his arm and legs to the ground keeping him in place
Jared slowly makes his way to the Defeated Demon
He then looks upon the Defeated demon, but The Demons time has run out and Lightning Surges up and down his arms
He turns it to ash in seconds as the Screams are drowned out by silence as the demon ashes scatter in the wind
Jared looks at the ashes before scoffing then turning to motion For Isabella to follow him and she nods in response then the pair leave the warehouse on their way home
Meanwhile, Ophelia and Silane arrive in a park in Kuoh with the night-time sky above them with
"It's cold, don't suppose you have a spare coat Silane?" Ophelia asked Silane for a coat
"Of course my Lady," said Silane handing her a fur coat
"Very kind of you Silane" Ophelia smiles warmly at Silane who returned the smile back
"Now where is This home My Loving Father told me about," said Ophelia looking around the place
Silane pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket Which has An address on it
"Ah here I have an address shall we get going" Silane Asked
Ophelia nods and they walk to a very posh and high-class neighbourhood in Kuoh, with beautifully built houses fit for nobility
"The Craftsmanship in this Neighbour is excellent," said Ophelia admiring her surroundings
Silane pointed out the Mansion Ophelia's father bought her for the visit
"Oh my...it's beautiful," said Ophelia In awe
"Let's get inside my lady," said Silane holding her bags
Silane Put the bag on the floor one she stood in from of the door to open it, once opened she entered the mansion with Ophelia right behind her
"I'll take these upstairs miss and you stay and make yourself comfortable," said Silane
"Want me to help" Asked Ophelia offering to help
"Oh no Lady Ophelia I'm alright," said Silane smiling
Ophelia nodded looking around the bottom floor to find a kitchen, a dining room and the main room, But then she heard a knock at the door which she looked out the peephole to see Her sister and peerage
"Mother must of let Rias know where I'm staying," Ophelia thought to herself
Ophelia opened the door and Rias Hugged her instantly taking Ophelia by surprise
"Ophelia I'm glad you could make it," Rias told her
Rias hugs Ophelia
"I'm glad to how are you?" said Ophelia
"I'm doing great, Oh there's something I'm wondering" asked Rias
"What is it," Ophelia asked putting her coat
"Do you want to join us on Stray Hunting Tomorrow morning?" asked Rias
Ophelia pondered for a bit before coming to a decision
"sure once I've settled," said Ophelia crossing her arms
Rias smiled and her answer, but before she left she forgot to introduce Issei and Ophelia
"Oh, big sis I forgot to introduce you to someone...This is Issei my new pawn and The Red Dragon Emperor" Rias introduced Issei
Who looked at Ophelia up and down
"Woah your hot," said Issei with a drooling expression

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.

As if to confirm his thoughts, the very next second a series of prompts invaded his sight followed by a rather soothing voice. [Soul restoration - Completed!] [Welcome to Eve] [Status......
