Soft Reset stuff: Nyx. Formally Victoria.
The girl was odd with pale skin that seemed to shimmer as if her skin was dotted with stars. Her long black hair was unruly and her soft white eyes filled with wonder. Little lost star…
The old woman found her left in a pile of trash. The humans feared her and disposed of her when they couldn't kill her.
The woman was named Chordeva. A demon who was old even in demon years...She was bitter for being sent to live among humans...She refused to hide with a glamor. Her broken horns and violet skin on full display. She was the monster in the forest that the villagers feared. She despised humans more than anything…
The child was clearly no demon nor anything she'd ever seen. Upon the knife cutting her skin and her wailing was a sudden earthquake as hail began to fall. Her wounds healing after moments had passed. She was special…
"Mama? Who is that?" Nyx held onto Chordeva's skirt and leaned up on her tip toes. It had only been a year yet the child aged quickly. She was already roughly four years old physically and mentally was closer to eight. The child's necklace that was wrapped in her hand was identified as 'Nyx' Thus it was what Chordeva decided to call her...She had a purpose for taking care of this child. For pretending to love her… A gift for the only demon she still cared for. The one her family had bowed to. Dante. Her power only required loyalty.
She painted the stories from her perspective...Dante wasn't the villian but the 'hero' in her tales. A demon who deserved to be worshiped and praised. Nyx quickly falling for these tales and stories. The handsome and intelligent demon sounded very fascinating… the kind hearted girl was simple. She was happiest with the smallest displays of affection and naive to this world.
Nyx nodded as she focused her gaze on the sealed basket. Chordeva had enchanted it with the same spell that Dante had been locked away with. Nyx's sheer power mixed with Chordeva's knowledge of magic had made a perfect weapon as in seconds the seal shattered. Nyx happily clapping. "I did it!"
Chordeva watched the girl rest. It had been a few years now...She was grown as much as she would it seemed physically. She was taught everything that could be taught and told what she needed to do and how to do it.
Chordeva found that the girl was unfortunately too pure. She needed something to anger her - to fuel her to hate… So she made her final sacrifice for Dante.
Nyx hummed softly as she awoke the next morning and got dressed. "Mama?" She called out in the empty cottage but got no response until the wind caught the door. She blinked as she saw the door wide open and wandered into a horrific sight. The blood covered the ground as did Chordeva. It wasn't just a body but a massacre. Nyx's panic and fear making her run to the dirt road - the wind picking up as she ran before finding a group of humans with Chordeva's head as a souvenir of their kill…
Nyx's shock and anger making her lose control as the ground shattered and a sink hole formed, consuming them. The wind picking up to the point the trees were almost sideways as tears stung her eyes. The ground shaking and shattering a great distance around her before the clear sky turned black.
"..." Nyx walked along the path she'd been taught through hell's caverns. The secret route led right to where many were locked away. Her violet cloak covering her features as she cautiously walked down the hall of snarling demons who tried to get her attention as she soon found who she was looking for.
Dante's eyes glanced to her once she stood there for a moment with a mixed expression as it came clear she was there for him. Her fingers slipping her hood back as she bowed. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you..." she chimed as she looked up at him with a faint blush on her cheeks.
Dante parted his lips with intent to snap at her but his tongue clicked as he saw her eyes glow and felt the energy as her lips began to chant the spell to release him. A smirk slipping to his lips and his eyebrow raising. She would have to be a powerful person in order to break the seal and chains keeping him there…
It shattered and Nyx trembled a bit before holding her hand out and creating a portal and ushering him through it before collapsing.
Dante examined the situation before sighing a little. He knew this was Chordeva's cottage so he figured she must have had something to do with this strange girl. His eyes glancing to the smoke in the air before moving, offering a hand to the girl to help her back to her feet.
"You seem to know who I am but I haven't a clue who you are…Or what happened here." He stated calmly as he wanted information to what purpose this girl could serve him.
"Oh! I apologize...My name is Nyx." She bowed again to him before timidly hugging herself. "...Chordeva was my mother...well - She adopted me. She...is gone. A human killed her. She - She hoped I would be able to help you...Her last wishes were for me to free you…"
She lowered her head with sadness in her eyes...Dante hardly cared about her sob story but noted the wind and the rattle of the ground as she recalled things.
He nodded quietly as he processed it and plotted. "The smoke..?" He asked. Nyx glancing and crossing her arms. "...I lost control. I didn't realize the wind would spread the fire like that. I just wanted to scare them...it all burned. I - they deserved it… S-she was all I had. She was the only person who loved me!" She teared up, anger in her voice mixed with fear. Dante smirking a little…
He faked tenderness as he slid his arms around her and pulled her into his arms. Hugging her. His fingers rubbing her shoulder as he read her like a book and whispered lightly.
"You've got me now…" He stated with a kiss to her forehead as he watched her fall for it.
