The Beginning

The time passed by, a pregnant woman was forced to live in the Abyss of Inferno where the demon leader rules in —- everyone had to lie to say the unborn child belongs to the demon himself, and did the lady after finding out that it wasn't straight from a demon she once loved but a god.

Everything went well and the woman gave birth to a daughter, she knew her life wouldn't let her live longer since she was supposed to give birth to a son — not a daughter. All demons especially the leaders want sons to take over if something happens to them.

The mother who made it through decided to name her daughter, Devina. She knew this baby was blessed by the gods and goddesses to be called Divine. How wonderful and I hope it will change her child's father's mind to keep her and give her a happy life.

Did it happen?

Never... 4 years, Devina had suffered from verbal abuse, always got scolded when making one wrong move, had to take the punishment to herself, etc by a worse leader of demons. The mother always confronted her time to protect her daughter and the parents often fought. The hatred in the eyes of the demon leader made Devina suffer from constant fear at a child age of 4!

The flawless skin, like a porcelain doll — Blue eyes with long natural eyelashes — everyone often says she looks like a mother — Blonde curly hair — the wife of the demon leader.

That was when Devina's mother decided to give up using the spell, "The Bless of Hypnos, Deep Slumber!" As the blue-purple light suddenly glows from the hands to swing the target to the leader. It fucking hurts to know that she fell for his dirty tricks, she was so happy to dream of having a happy family with a demon as a witch.

The Demon leader who was working on paperwork immediately knocked out from the spell to lowered his head to the desk. A mother decided to head to the room of her daughter Devina to pick her up into her arms.

"Sweetie, we are leaving, I know who will adopt you to fulfill my dreams of you living a happy life."

"Mommy...? Aren't you coming with me...?" Devina pouts with puppy gaze.

Devina's mother smiled sadly and didn't say a word, snapped to summon a red portal like a door to another realm while carrying a girl who knew she would never be ready to say goodbye.

"One thing I want you to know... that I love you so much, you were a treasure and my most happiest gift I ever received to bring to the world. I am sorry for being blind... All I wanted was... You to live as a princess, not a slave..." the female voice sounds so sad, and this is close to crying.

Slowly leaning the lips against Devina's forehead as a good night forehead kiss.

The child's eyes slowly blinked and the eyelids felt so heavy... she gave in to fall asleep... Deep in the wonderland of the dream meanwhile, the mother entered the door of a portal. It closed as soon as the guards barged in to find Devina missing — they knew the wife of the leader did this. It becomes the most common law that a wife must be killed once she is found.

Finally, the portal leads to the kingdom, the kingdom she could've chosen if she had kept the relationship with the former king of this land.

Kingdom of Everlasting Village — a mother stood tall in front of the door with tears, the palace reminds her so much of previous good memories. Slowly the pink glitter turned into a casket with silky fabric to put a sleepy daughter near the door.

"May Gods and Goddesses bless you and watch you for the rest of your life when I am not around. I believe you shall become a powerful witch that I look forward to seeing in spirit." The tear dropped over Devina's side eyes to roll over the cheeks and gently wiped it to absorb the tear drop to carve a sigil on the forehead where it was kissed to seal a magic. A mother gave up all her magic and power to transfer it to her daughter.

The mother narrowed at the door to knock real fast before she vanished like a ghost. The door opened and the green eyes gazed in hope it wasn't another prank and found a casket of a beautiful kid there. The red with slight pink on the tip medium-haired length king slowly kneeled to pick Devina up like a baby and treated her as a fragile doll.

"Esther... You've left your child to me... as you promised. Thank you... I shall treat her as my real daughter... the one I ever dreamed of." Lucius whispered. Not so long time the heels could be heard from behind, a queen to look over what Lucius was holding. "She's beautiful."

Esther is the name of Devina's mother.

"Quite! It's Devina, I will give her our shared last name, Devina Shivani."

The queen looks at her husband calmly with a small smile, in her mind, she prays that Esther will be ok — offering her arms open for Lucius to lend Devina into a Queen's arms, "May I?"

"Of course, just be careful, her injuries aren't fully healed," Lucius whispered and the Queen nodded in agreement. Not so long time, two young kids around 4 years old as Devina bolted to see what their parents were up to, and saw sleepy Devina.

"I-is that our new sister that daddy was talking about?!" Sunako's blue eyes sparkle. Akumu sighed and nudged his one-minute-young twin, "Keep your volume low..." he used the voice and hand gestures as sign language. "Can't you see, she's sleeping."

Lucius kneeled with a smile and nodded while signing, "Yes, she is your sister, make sure to treat her as a princess when she wakes up\~!"

Sunako did a little happy dance, singing lightly, "We have a sister...! I always wanted to have one for me to protect as a big brother!" With a happy stomp.

Akumu facepalmed over Sunako's excitement and politely bowed, "Please excuse me, I'll need to make sure my brother finishes his homework then we meet her when she's awake."

The queen nodded again, "Good boy, Sunako, listen to your brother and you'll play with her once everything settles, ok?"

"Okay!" Sunako said with joy. Akumu grabbed his twin's arm to drag him up the stairs to their study room while the parents chuckled. The queen shook her head, "her power... It's underdeveloped but she will be so great for our children."

"Yes, she's the one prophecy was about but... if we programmed her to follow the hero's step — I don't think she would become destructive as long as she feels love and support that she needs. I have a good feeling that she will bring us a lot of joy that we need in our lives!"

"My, you're too faithful and I'm about to be jealous." The queen joked and gently pressed Devina's face against her neck like a mother. "I truly adore her too much already."

They began to walk away after the door closed to live a new life of having a gift in their home. Yes, it's just a beginning.

A beautiful beginning that somebody would pray for.
