It had been over fifteen years since anyone had set foot on the island of Ambrimgon Grudgebearer. It had grown quiet with no one else there except for those in the village who lived around the place. It hadn't been so quiet since that fateful night when all the villagers had taken to hiding in their houses after finding out what happened. That night was a horrible memory. The night where a group of bandits had raided the village and slaughtered nearly all of them. When they found out about the children at the orphanage and how they were only left alone because nobody knew what they looked like.That's how things had started off. Then came news of a stranger appearing from nowhere in the middle of Ambrimgon Grudgebearer and killing everyone. They didn't even know what kind of stranger. He seemed more like a spirit than anything other than a man. They couldn't find him for weeks until one night someone saw his glowing eyes outside of the house of Ata Raine,He was looking for the children. It took months before they finally captured him and interrogated him.They learned that this stranger was part demon who hated children and was also obsessed with power. After questioning him, they realized why he hated children so much: He was jealous of them, wanting to be the best and surpass all others, including themselves.'He was the leader of the entire band, and everyone wanted him. He would take any child and raise them as his own, teaching them all the arts and techniques of becoming better demons. It seems that he was a leader of the demon tribe and everyone tried to follow him, hoping to become stronger too. But he killed every single child, not even sparing their mothers or fathers. And now we have him in the palm of our hand. We are going to kill him and turn the world into what he wants it to be!'Ata Raine,The village was devastated by this story ,Everyone blamed themselves for letting such a thing happen. Ata Raine himself wasn't so affected. If you think he'd just be okay with a bunch of kids turning up dead then you're wrong.He didn't care about those children,All he cared about was the power he craved,the power to rule over everyone who ever existed. So he went to the palace,Where the Demon King resided,And vowed to do whatever it took to obtain his desires."We've never heard of a Demon King ruling the entire Demon Nation. Is that true, Ata Raine?"A young girl,who appeared to be around eleven years old,asked at one point.Ata Raine laughed."Of course, it is! Why wouldn't it be? Everyone knows that Demons and humans can't live together without fighting each other. But don't worry, I'll keep everything under control. You see, Demons and humans can't live together unless we rule over everything!""But Ata, I don't understand:"Ata Raine interrupted her,"You're just a kid, little one. How could you possibly understand how this works? Just let me do my job and everything will be alright!"Ata Raine didn't wait long before leaving the room. The girl watched him go before turning back towards the others who were talking amongst themselves. She frowned－she couldn't remember the girl's name. Her name sounded vaguely familiar but she couldn't quite put a finger on it.After Ata Raine left, the whole group turned towards her－as did the girl."Well," she said. "Now that everyone seems to be fine…I think I need to leave you all to talk about stuff.
