Legend has it that in ancient times, the two most formidable entities on the planet formed a pact, wherein they promised to keep their magical abilities exclusive to themselves. They were so powerful, that they had the capability to bring life into existence. However, as their creations came to fruition, they made a promise to one another that no other beings should possess magic like theirs. Unfortunately, this pact was eventually broken, and as a consequence, all the races were "gifted" powers.510Please respect copyright.PENANA5uDuIeFkh4

Our story begins with a young boy named Dorian, nestled comfortably in his bed. As he lay there, his grandmother gently enters the room and begins to tuck him in for the night.510Please respect copyright.PENANAidEKKHKmW0

Dorian looks up at her with a troubled expression510Please respect copyright.PENANA8tebSiCcNq
510Please respect copyright.PENANAeOUZLFToyR
Dorian - Grandma, I can't stop thinking about why Mom and Dad had to leave.510Please respect copyright.PENANAwpUoF3jngs
510Please respect copyright.PENANAaONuvy7w6m
Grandma - A long time ago, our world was ruled by a mad king who had killed both of our gods. He ruled with terror for over 500 years, until a hero from our world challenged him in a tournament for the throne. The hero was victorious and became the second king, ending the reign of terror. Our current king is a descendant of the hero, and it is our duty to protect him and continue the legacy of ruling justly. Do you understand now?510Please respect copyright.PENANAwwR1nyN4Q2
510Please respect copyright.PENANA5zdnk0HgNU
Ten years have passed, and Dorian has grown into a young adult. He had a tanned complexion, with a medium build, lean and fit body. His black short hair framed his face, accentuating his striking green eyes. He was now ready to embark on the dark adventure that lies ahead of him.510Please respect copyright.PENANAst7jQ6vPEX
510Please respect copyright.PENANA5YVZZ4XKXh
Dorian - (No, I don't. His descendants have been ruling over us for 500 years, just like the mad king did.)510Please respect copyright.PENANAEsQIaPJGwo

Old Man Roc - Hey Dorian, are you heading to Frank's?510Please respect copyright.PENANAg0WimQlrrR
510Please respect copyright.PENANACxgZoMTSbn
Dorian - Oh, what is it, old man?510Please respect copyright.PENANAuN9J263QZQ
510Please respect copyright.PENANAfwor50Q67E
Old Man Roc is the tavern keeper in town. He is a kind and a friendly man, always eager to chat with the locals and catch up on the latest gossip. Despite never having married, Old Man Roc has always had a soft spot for grandma, and he takes every opportunity to inquire about her well-being.510Please respect copyright.PENANA28u5MxLwD4
510Please respect copyright.PENANArFFLi4EiuN
Old Man Roc: - Is that wood for Frank?510Please respect copyright.PENANA9hxIp9sa9C
510Please respect copyright.PENANAxPT3cNrEkD
Dorian - Yes, it is. I'm helping him fix his fence.510Please respect copyright.PENANAKIh4HWqnjN
510Please respect copyright.PENANAzGpl4MC6jg
Old Man Roc - Ah, I see. Frank's a good man, but he's getting on in years. It's good that you're helping him out.510Please respect copyright.PENANA2ItLdntzTi
510Please respect copyright.PENANAQvfZLkCon5
Dorian - Of course. I'm more than willing to lend a hand and do my part to help out around here.510Please respect copyright.PENANAyxnQPNebjo
510Please respect copyright.PENANAbnmPIsomtE
Old Man Roc - I remember your parents were so similar to you in many ways. Time flies, doesn't it? It's already been ten years since they passed.510Please respect copyright.PENANAngS86Hlzxs
510Please respect copyright.PENANAuB3grGjVNF
Dorian - Yes, ten long years. But I try not to think about it too much.510Please respect copyright.PENANAKWQrProzMh
510Please respect copyright.PENANA0krkSq2uvL
Old Man Roc - I understand. It's not easy, losing your parents at such a young age. But you're a strong boy, Dorian. You'll make your way in the world, just like your parents.510Please respect copyright.PENANAq2wtPEZEGD
510Please respect copyright.PENANAMAig3k4pEc
Dorian - Thank you, old man. I hope you're right. I'm going to do my best to make them proud.510Please respect copyright.PENANA9k3HmxAbts
510Please respect copyright.PENANAZxBd25UPjW
Old Man Roc - Please give Frank my regards, and be sure to say hello to your sweet grandmother as well!510Please respect copyright.PENANAyKXjbjMc77
510Please respect copyright.PENANA1OjDaNbShh
Dorian looks away, clearly uncomfortable with the topic of conversation.510Please respect copyright.PENANAdhB0iNvvPR
510Please respect copyright.PENANAlGYXSTIN6A
Dorian - Sure, Old Man Roc. I'll be sure to tell her. But I really need to head out if I'm going to make it to Frank's before it gets too late.510Please respect copyright.PENANAvzAXiV4con
510Please respect copyright.PENANAStpK0TLPTu
Old Man Roc nods understandingly.510Please respect copyright.PENANArBctp7qna8
510Please respect copyright.PENANAExGZvpORIC
Old Man Roc - Of course, of course. I don't want to keep you. But you know, it's always nice to catch up and hear about how your grandma is doing. She's a dear friend of mine, you know.510Please respect copyright.PENANAHifxr4jD71
510Please respect copyright.PENANAmTUZ8BvTst
Dorian smiles politely.510Please respect copyright.PENANA6IDVlhkIpZ
510Please respect copyright.PENANAUOwvCyjPdT
Old Man Roc nods again and waves as Dorian turns to leave.510Please respect copyright.PENANAds0u5kfNmn
510Please respect copyright.PENANAhvEgwIhGux
Old man Roc - All right, Dorian. Take care!510Please respect copyright.PENANAnOiVYAA10O

Dorian arrives at Frank's house, ready to help him repair his fence. As he approaches, he sees Frank standing outside, looking pleased to see him.510Please respect copyright.PENANAyi9WSdmaBQ
510Please respect copyright.PENANAE1MDBUAMXa
Frank - Dorian! Thank you so much for coming to help. I really appreciate it.510Please respect copyright.PENANABv0ivVeupw
510Please respect copyright.PENANAlcXhEull32
Dorian - No problem, Frank. I'm happy to lend a hand. Where do you want the wood?510Please respect copyright.PENANAod7CHMUEJh
510Please respect copyright.PENANAf5AqBpnFSm
Frank - Just leave it there by the fence. I'll start working on it as soon as we're done here.510Please respect copyright.PENANAIGfwyaVEBW
510Please respect copyright.PENANAX8JLKMYwQp
Dorian - Okay, sure. Is there anything else you need me to do?510Please respect copyright.PENANAbcc8olRpan
510Please respect copyright.PENANA5iT39jCFjS
Frank - Actually, yes. If you don't mind, could you help me gather some Emint Roots? I need them for my wife.510Please respect copyright.PENANAOSwywzTF8X
510Please respect copyright.PENANA1hE9ZPg7bV
Dorian - Emint Roots? Is your wife feeling unwell?510Please respect copyright.PENANAk6T0OZiSo9
510Please respect copyright.PENANA9LTbTGgYcO
Frank - Yes, she's not feeling very well. I want to make her some Emint Tea to help her feel better. Would you mind helping me gather the roots?510Please respect copyright.PENANAm2DDI474An
510Please respect copyright.PENANAtzhyLAEW9y
Dorian - Of course not, Frank. I'll go get them right now.510Please respect copyright.PENANATxv4Yc7KCk
510Please respect copyright.PENANA3VYSq2Fmb9
Frank - Thank you, Dorian. You're a true treasure, and the future of our village. Just like your parents before you, you're a hero in the making.510Please respect copyright.PENANAwmnatSXHur
510Please respect copyright.PENANA7PXKU2NwEP
Dorian smiles at the compliment, feeling a mix of pride and sadness at the mention of his parents.510Please respect copyright.PENANAaBdZIikGST
510Please respect copyright.PENANASKRouAc8q7
Dorian - Thank you, Frank. I'll do my best to make them proud.510Please respect copyright.PENANAPnoHPwJJBI
510Please respect copyright.PENANAkxA64B9eGD
With that, he sets off to gather the Emint Roots, determined to help Frank and his wife in any way he can.510Please respect copyright.PENANAu46nnBycZV
510Please respect copyright.PENANAfeVfZZX9ZN
Dorian sets off to gather the Emint Roots, following Frank's instructions to the area where they grow near the forest to the east.510Please respect copyright.PENANAHuymhN0Scp
510Please respect copyright.PENANArhAlHvRfPo
As he approaches, he sees three people standing nearby - the Grace brothers, the village chief's sons, and a girl he doesn't recognize.510Please respect copyright.PENANAQllCvxQBVl
510Please respect copyright.PENANA9GwuWsBKWm
The Grace brothers have a reputation for causing trouble, so Dorian is cautious as he approaches.510Please respect copyright.PENANAho3QIDxMU9
510Please respect copyright.PENANAcHL6gCyFvV
Karmine Grace - Who do you think you are talking to, freak?510Please respect copyright.PENANA9MY2WtrPAy
510Please respect copyright.PENANARA2mnPzDID
Girl - I wasn't talking to you.510Please respect copyright.PENANAvgybgpMNTF
510Please respect copyright.PENANAMVwbSOW3He
Karmine Grace - There is no one else here.510Please respect copyright.PENANAVep852vGwq
510Please respect copyright.PENANAfdExevJKeC
Girl - Please , I'm just gathering some Emint Roots, like everyone else.510Please respect copyright.PENANABBbeMRccnx
510Please respect copyright.PENANAdUJik0eEgb
Cop Grace - Who gave you permission to speak, you little freak?510Please respect copyright.PENANA9M1n6syrlR
510Please respect copyright.PENANAh5eTDQ4OMh
Dorian - Hello! Sorry to intrude, is everything alright here?510Please respect copyright.PENANAwX4FgguXh5
510Please respect copyright.PENANA3HtmWoA15O
Karmine - Dorian? Why are you here? This doesn't concern you.510Please respect copyright.PENANAjSHS84Yqje
510Please respect copyright.PENANAKTvXz4qTAT
Dorian - Come on, Karmine. We've been friends since childhood. Do you remember when we used to play in the forest together?510Please respect copyright.PENANAnI7qtUtt5o
510Please respect copyright.PENANAcbqEBbwNOg
Karmine - Those days are long gone, Dorian. This girl is one of THEM. She doesn't belong here.510Please respect copyright.PENANAEOdXR0RIpR
510Please respect copyright.PENANAV8n0NOs2YC
Cop - Yeah, are you going to stand up for a Dämoneneko?510Please respect copyright.PENANApr31JLlRvA
510Please respect copyright.PENANAPWyTtudI4H
The Dämoneneko are a humanoid race with cat-like features. They have sharp teeth, like vampires, and glowing eyes that give them exceptional night vision.510Please respect copyright.PENANAfy0DyqqhyT
510Please respect copyright.PENANAnYshDPdzkV
Their skin is a deep red color, and they have a long, flexible tail that they use for balance and agility.510Please respect copyright.PENANAbfyLZuADs6
510Please respect copyright.PENANAMCbYrQOZ7Q
Their legs are thin and bird-like, allowing them to move quickly and gracefully.510Please respect copyright.PENANAfGkqKmpHm9
510Please respect copyright.PENANAh8TbnjQuPr
They are known and disliked by many, as their demonic appearance often inspires fear and suspicion, also their history dosen't help.510Please respect copyright.PENANAR00eCWvU4i
510Please respect copyright.PENANAleXggw6UBN
Unlike many others, Dorian dosen't share the same resentment towards the Dämoneneko race. His family was killed by the so-called 'good' race, and he learned not to blindly trust or hate based on appearances alone.510Please respect copyright.PENANAMk6sFQ375X
510Please respect copyright.PENANATcyeSteeBi
Dorian - I'm just saying, we don't need to harm this girl. She's likely innocent. Let me handle it, Karmine. I'll make sure she gets out of 'our' land safely.510Please respect copyright.PENANA0IswVyKHIV
510Please respect copyright.PENANAUW7PhRuaaM
Cop - But...510Please respect copyright.PENANApmx1gdcGXx
510Please respect copyright.PENANAdT3OKCIEOB
Karmine - Leave it, Cop. It's not worth it.510Please respect copyright.PENANA9HIIhRfv3M
510Please respect copyright.PENANADq6gUNktPA
Dorian looks at Karmine with the same determined expression he had when they fought as children. Karmine knows that Dorian is prepared to fight if necessary, and he doesn't like the idea.510Please respect copyright.PENANAtN2Mh8FPfC
510Please respect copyright.PENANAUgDa29eaqa
Karmine - This isn't over, Dorian. And you know it.510Please respect copyright.PENANAsNu5MOyJAs
510Please respect copyright.PENANALhfKIaoz4d
Dorian smiles again.510Please respect copyright.PENANAOmgGSSGdrN
510Please respect copyright.PENANAxNSsnrVAe3
Dorian - Thanks, Karmine!510Please respect copyright.PENANArHlez6Imig
510Please respect copyright.PENANAilGzkbyjep
After the two brothers leave, Dorian turns to the girl:510Please respect copyright.PENANAOlikx4DP2N
510Please respect copyright.PENANAI9019Yf6v0
Dorian - Sorry about that, not all of us are like them, they're blinded by fear and hate. What's your name, if you don't mind me asking?510Please respect copyright.PENANANyABRBEqUY
510Please respect copyright.PENANADmd4T6TbW0
Lunadea - Lunadea. Thank you for stepping in and helping me. It's strange for me that someone who isn't like me would help.510Please respect copyright.PENANAL2KkcBmerS
510Please respect copyright.PENANAYcPN3tLXEs
Dorian - I guess I'm different. Here, let me help you. I heard you mention that you need some Emint Roots. Is someone sick in your family?510Please respect copyright.PENANAjiyy7bjyT0
510Please respect copyright.PENANAoCSuegy3S7
Lunadea - Yes, my mom is sick. I didn't know what to do, but I overheard some travelers saying that these herbs can help with her illness. I was on my way to gather some when those two brothers showed up and started causing trouble. To be honest, I don't even know how to prepare the herbs properly. I was just hoping to figure it out on my own.510Please respect copyright.PENANAZjW0pxixc1
510Please respect copyright.PENANAxcvBm6XYXR
Dorian - It's actually pretty easy to make. You just have to boil the roots in water and then let the mixture steep for a few minutes. The tea will be ready to drink once it has cooled down to a comfortable temperature. I can show you how to do it, if you like.510Please respect copyright.PENANAvY7JyELPaZ
510Please respect copyright.PENANAPPvlMUjFc2
Lunadea - Why are you helping me so much? Aren't we weird to you?510Please respect copyright.PENANAaNNyo1gz3g
510Please respect copyright.PENANAZTcChsLvSL
Dorian - Oh, not at all. This is my first time meeting someone like you, and I don't think you're weird. I think you're beautiful, actually!510Please respect copyright.PENANAwFKrOg3zEs
510Please respect copyright.PENANAt5vX9FtWDw
Lunadea - What?! I don't know what to say.510Please respect copyright.PENANA8UPjXMjXSa
510Please respect copyright.PENANAibBabtg4YL
She blushes and wiggles her tail nervously.510Please respect copyright.PENANAaCDAmUv4Tu
510Please respect copyright.PENANAtNHWS2OWod
Dorian - Haha, don't worry about it. Let's focus on getting you back to your mom so I can make her the tea. Then I have to hurry to my friend's wife. She's sick, too, and I promised I would check in on her510Please respect copyright.PENANATLYLNffM1F
510Please respect copyright.PENANASlhxWEtACt
Lunadea - Our village is at the end of the forest to the north from here. It shouldn't take us long to get there if we walk quickly.510Please respect copyright.PENANAHUE3LWfiLj
510Please respect copyright.PENANAGSCigd4vqQ
Not too far away, the Grace brothers are listening in on the conversation.510Please respect copyright.PENANAJati7tOnmU
510Please respect copyright.PENANAlqakJyFc9V
Karmine - They're heading north from here, huh? I told you, Dorian. This isn't over. Let's go, Cop. We have business to deal with.510Please respect copyright.PENANAVV8RAiTMq7
510Please respect copyright.PENANAv7kgc4fGlg
Cop - Can't wait to teach that Dämoneneko a lesson.510Please respect copyright.PENANAEKdEv6Hz8Q
510Please respect copyright.PENANA7kFTMhU2aP
Dorian and Lunadea arrive at her house, and Dorian helps her prepare the tea for her mother.510Please respect copyright.PENANAHMCPRSJCpO
510Please respect copyright.PENANAx1RxujQuyY
Lunadea - I'm back mom!510Please respect copyright.PENANAU58VHcKMSa
510Please respect copyright.PENANAEXr1gY2rUi
Selene - Lunadea, who is this? Is this a friend of yours?510Please respect copyright.PENANAp5UbuULbWj
510Please respect copyright.PENANAxVpoci0ccM
Lunadea - Yes, mom. This is Dorian. He helped me gather some Emint Roots and prepare the tea for you.510Please respect copyright.PENANAfy9gEYoT5x
510Please respect copyright.PENANAiYyqf4lgPd
Selene - Did he? Well, it's nice to meet you, Dorian. I'm Selene, Lunadea's mother. Can I talk to you for a second, Luna?510Please respect copyright.PENANAOqVvckJ1aR
510Please respect copyright.PENANANfp6Fv2sRz
The girls step away from Dorian for a moment.510Please respect copyright.PENANA7JA0JPmR3C
510Please respect copyright.PENANABYBfHw0yYc
Lunadea - Yes, mom?510Please respect copyright.PENANAKh4Alucwmc
510Please respect copyright.PENANACxHQDPRXQo
Selene - I'm just curious about Dorian. He seems like a nice person, but I'm a bit concerned about him being a human. How did you two meet? And why did he help you?510Please respect copyright.PENANAyjuNop0jEs
510Please respect copyright.PENANApq6MS4lK4g
Lunadea - I met Dorian when I was out in the forest, gathering herbs for you. Some humans saw me and started threatening me. Dorian stepped in and helped me. After that, he offered to come back with me and prepare the tea for you. He's been very kind and helpful.510Please respect copyright.PENANA4iZhR1I7L8
510Please respect copyright.PENANAd09E6bLPnr
Selene: - I see. So you actually made a friend? And he's not just any friend, he's a human.510Please respect copyright.PENANAAlTWNrMpB6
510Please respect copyright.PENANAoFdNuDrMH5
Lunadea - Mom! Are you serious?510Please respect copyright.PENANARk45JWHdL7
510Please respect copyright.PENANAqgHW9lE2BP
Selene - But I told you not to go out there alone. What if they had done something bad to you?510Please respect copyright.PENANACAD5NKfVeG
510Please respect copyright.PENANAXkkhCe8hop
Lunadea - I know, I know. But I couldn't leave you here like this.510Please respect copyright.PENANAbLD5LZWnRH
510Please respect copyright.PENANADqctpWDg1C
Selene - Well if you trust him, then I trust him, too. He does seem really kind. I'm glad he was there to help you. But you have to be careful, Luna. Humans and Dämonenekos races don't get along. It's not safe for you to be around humans.510Please respect copyright.PENANAnikCw8XsaI
510Please respect copyright.PENANAU00afyXVP8
Lunadea - I know, mom. But Dorian is different. He's not like the other humans.510Please respect copyright.PENANAGQsSK4UIFz
510Please respect copyright.PENANATbiQTj105g
Selene - I see.510Please respect copyright.PENANAhLUdORzSVN
510Please respect copyright.PENANA1A4gfAaSIg
Selene turns to Dorian again.510Please respect copyright.PENANAXRwneIGeZt
510Please respect copyright.PENANASsc3yFmTfA
Selene - Sorry for that, Dorian. Thank you for helping my daughter and me. I'm sorry if we have caused you any trouble or misunderstanding because of our appearance.510Please respect copyright.PENANAIgNmsgWgyx
510Please respect copyright.PENANATNco8ZvFvV
Dorian seemed distracted by something.510Please respect copyright.PENANAR65aYwWaqp
510Please respect copyright.PENANANbn0uS2dbt
Selene - Dorian?510Please respect copyright.PENANA2gT1aP5FQq
510Please respect copyright.PENANAsgSyNYZaLV
Dorian: - Oh, sorry. It's no problem at all, Selene. I'm glad I could help. The tea should be ready to drink now. Just let it cool down to a comfortable temperature, and it will help alleviate your symptoms. Let me know if you need anything else.510Please respect copyright.PENANA97RePcCKaT
510Please respect copyright.PENANAFzw3aKLAgO
Lunadea - Thank you, Dorian. We really appreciate your help. You didn't have to go out of your way to help us, but you did anyway. That's kind of you.510Please respect copyright.PENANAAy895ZfTDB
510Please respect copyright.PENANAZfPbS7U33G
Dorian- I have to run now. If it's okay with you, I would like to see you again.510Please respect copyright.PENANAg7C5DezHkP
510Please respect copyright.PENANAIMiZx6YmY2
Lunadea - Dorian, I...510Please respect copyright.PENANA5zeARjWYxP
510Please respect copyright.PENANAlvOEn3tZVV
Selene - She would love to see you again, Dorian. Right, Luna?510Please respect copyright.PENANAe0roYbuss5
510Please respect copyright.PENANAW3Kp2IId8q
Lunadea - Uh, sure. I would like that.510Please respect copyright.PENANACcNjKbMQak
510Please respect copyright.PENANAnDR2Mxrze5
Dorian - Great! I'll come back to visit you both soon. Take care.
