The True Legend
A legend is told, far and wide, by humans and demons alike of the great demon Sparda, the powerful and clever demon that protected the human race from the fierce demons who wished to destroy them all. He suffered many defeats and losses to protect the race all because of his love for one woman, a human woman at that. He and a group of humans resisting the demons created a group known as the Demon Chasers to counter their evil foes. After succeeding in taking down their leader, the remaining demons were scattered across the earth and Sparda settled down with a family with his love.
This is only a glorified version of a far from real truth. There were twelve of them, twelve demons who defied the laws of hell to go to the surface, the human world. They detested the humans, wished to kill them and take the surface world for their own. The group wished to create their own land, free from the shackles of hell and free form the stupidity of human kind. Among the group were two of the strongest, most reputable younger demons from hell. Sparda and Ignius were there names. Ignius, one of the most prominent fire demon form the depth was the leader of this group. He held a great hatred for humans, greater than anyone else in the group. The twelve demons wreaked havoc in the human world, religious folk spoke of the apocalypse, normal folk hid in their homes, refusing to go outside. But there was a small group of humans who defied the demons, whenever the demons massacred or destroyed, the humans would be there to stop them. The leader of these humans was a man by the name of Auron, the group was made of entirely men, but sometimes, sometimes, a woman would be there. The woman would be at the back, out of the way, holding rosary beads and praying. This woman was Trisha, the woman Sparda fell in love with. This was the beginning of a long and spiraling downfall for the demons; secretly Sparda began helping them, all for this one, pitiful, human woman. Sparda was clever, he created a plan to help the humans and never be caught in the act, but one night it fell through. Ignius gave Sparda a mission that involved burning one of the chasers bases, the one where Trisha lived. When the mission failed the remaining eleven began to suspect something, sooner or later Sparda’s treachery was discovered. The demons confronted Sparda and the humans in a dangerous and destructive battle that lasted many days, both sides suffered great loses. Sparda, now allying with the humans, killed Ignius during the battle and fled with the remaining chasers. Now, with renewed effort and the help of Sparda, any portals from hell were found and destroyed and the remaining demons who survived the battle were hunted down, some managed to escape, most were killed. The ones that escaped fled in different directions with no way to contact each other, they hid separately, hoping to evade the chasers and carry on living. They refused to go back to hell.
Meanwhile, Sparda and Trish got married and had a son, a human son. They lived a peaceful and long life, never disturbed by demons, then one day Sparda died. Though demons live a long time they do die eventually. Everything dies eventually. Leadership of the demon chasers was given to his son, Dante. He also came into possession of Sparda’s sword, Rebellion. Many of the original demon chasers, the ones who had not been killed in battle were old and could not continue as demon chasers, so Dante began to gather a new group of people to be called the chasers. The group consisted of a few demons including Usha, a wind demon, and a few humans; it was small at the beginning but grew with time. They began searching for any demons that were attacking humans, intent on only killing the harmful demons and trying to create a treaty between the two races. A while after they created the group they encountered one of the demons who had come through the portal at the beginning, one of the twelve. The demon was named Allister Rouge; he had a small group of demons with him, including Lexus and Skyra, at the time and was wreaking havoc in a small city. The demon chasers confronted the significantly smaller group of demons, causing another large scale fight in a rural area. Both sides came out with loses, one of the chasers, Keinan, managed to shoot the leader of the demons in the eye and both sides lost people though the humans lost more. Neither side attempted to run away but after some point both sides were too tired and worn out to carry on the battle. The demons left the city and laid low for a while, the humans began demon hunting with renewed strength. Old threats were back and needed to be taken care of. One problem the demon chasers were faced with was that more portals were appearing everywhere and demons were coming through before the chasers had time to destroy them. Now the demon chasers have set up base, unbeknownst to them, in the same street that the fight between the demon chasers with Sparda and the demons happened. The same building Trisha lived in at the time, of course, any clues that a battle had happened there had completely disappeared. The demon chasers, under Dante’s leadership became a well known group, not just in the city where they were based but almost all over the world. They were known as the most renowned demon hunters ever, unfortunately, the demons heard this too.
