Shane, The Demonic Dryad: Chapter 2: Origin story part 1
My name is Gift From God, and I am the living treaty. You all know me as Shane Madej. Everything you know about me, all of the story’s you have heard on that fun channel of I work on, about my life and where i grew up, is all true. I just left out all the important stuff, the things that are beyond your understanding. Honestly, I thought i would never tell you all these things. But according to the laws of the trail, my must speak honestly and freely about my life, otherwise… your boi might not be able to make his appearance in season 6.
So, for the first time ever, you people will know the truth. Why I say I don’t believe in ghosts, why Ryan never finds any proof, and what really happened with my parrot, which I DID NOT eat by the way. Anyways, here we go
About 35 years ago, 1983 in the human calendar, something happened that sent the three worlds of the Fae, Demons and mortals into a turmoil. A moment that sent a chain events into motion, changing the way these worlds interact, something that has not changed in many millennia. The two people who began this event, were my parents. Mainly my mother, Iola grimfall, the demon warrior of the high guard. She was a demon of average human height, with black flowing hair and light brown eyes. She had horns like a faun of a dark brown color, and she had a well defined figure of an olympic level athlete. She was a fierce fighter and would hold her ground with most demons, using her prefered and only weapons, two small hand battle axes that she would use in a fiery fury upon her foes, enjoying the fight for what it was worth, but unlike the other demons, she was not happy with the life she had. While over demons were content with their life down below in what you humans call hell, my mother was… unhappy with the life she had been forced to live
While other demons thought of war and torment, looking at the human and Fae worlds with disgust and loathing, hating them for what they had, plotting to destroy all these worlds held dear, my mother was was on a different chain of thought.
Anytime she thought of the other worlds, mainly the one of Mortals, she felt only sorrow and longing, wishing to be apart of the human world, a place of change and growth, where things always seemed to be happening, unlike the world of demons, that seemed to be trapped in a infinite state of rotting and decay, the human world seemed to develop and evolve, a world where anyone would make a change if they tried hard enough. Iola saw the world of mortals wasn’t perfect, full of evils and suffering not unlike the ones of her world, but unlike her world, it was full of beauty and potential. She was bored of the literal hellhole she was trapped in, she wanted to go to the mortal world, where anything would happen. A world of excitement.
And my mother, Iola Grimfall, wanted to be apart of it.
She had began to study the old books, searching for a way to the mortal world, and according to every source she would find, she had to enter the Fae world first.
“According the current treaty, a demon requires the permission of a Fae of the low council to enter the mortal world without starting war,” a elder demon had told her, “and likewise a Fae requires the permission of a demon of the low council to enter the human world. This law was made so that both councils will always know how many citizens of both worlds are in the mortal realm at all times.”
“When was the last time a demon was let into the mortal world?” Iola would ask in a low tone, her hand on the handle of one of her axes, showing she meant business and wanted the truth.
The old demon smiled and looked into the eyes of Iola “well, last time i checked, no new demons or fae have safely entered the mortal world since 200 BC, but you are welcome to try… that is if you don't mind dying afterwards! HAHAHA!” the old demon laughed till the ground shook, and in rage Iola, in one swift motion, drew her axe with a hand of pure flame, and beheaded the fool with one quick swoop.
(And by hand of flame, i mean her whole arm became aflame in demon fire. I did say she fought with a fiery rage didn’t I?)
Iola stared at the corpse of the fallen demon, who was quickly turning to ash, and as despair began to overtake her, a voice suddenly spoke behind her.
“If you want to enter the mortal world, there is one Council member if the Fae who might grant you permission” Iola turned around quickly, axe put against the speakers throat, finding a old hag short hag of dark skin and white thin hair who looked into her eyes with no fear. “Now darling, that is no way yo treat your elders.” the old demoness let out a raspy chuckle. “Don’t you want to leave this world and enter the world of the humans?”
The hag wore a faded gray cloak and was a head shorter then Iola, but she seemed to radiate this strange aura… Iola couldn't put her finger on it, but the hag was definitely more than what she seemed to be.
Iola lowered her axe, looking at the elder demon, sudden hope filling her black heart, “yes,” Iola said in a whisper, “more than anything thats what i want.”
The Hag looked at Iola with a strange gleam in her eyes. “Then go to the Fae world and seek out the dryad by the name of Brier, he shares your love of the human world and might just sympathize you and give you the permission you seek”
“Might?” Iola asked tentatively.
“There is a chance he will say no.” the hag chuckled again in that raspy voice, a strange gleam in her eyes “but there is a chance he might say yes, and no matter how small that chance is, is the only one you have.” the hag began to walk off.
“Wait, who are you?” Iola called out, “why are you trying to help me?”
The Hag turned around and looked at Iola with that strange stare of hers. “My name,” the hag said in a steady voice, “is Lumen, and I am helping you because… well, no else seems to be helping you are they” Lumen let out a loud cackle and suddenly disappeared, leaving in a flash of white light.
Iola stared at the place the hag Lumen had once stood. She didn’t know what was happening, but she knew one thing.
She finally had a way to get to the human world, and as she began the journey to the gate that connected the demons realm to the one of the Fae in search of the Dryad Brier, she didn’t notice as a small imp took flight, an imp who had saw the whole scene, and the imp was grinning from ear to ear, traveling to the throne of his master.
“Wait till the boss hears this” the imp let out a insane giggle, “finally something interesting is happening around here!”
(before we continue the story further, i have one thing to say. I, Shane Madej, hate Imps.)
