You are an angel, but still a fledgling one. You haven’t earned your halo yet, and the celestial realms often feel just out of reach. Tales of demons roaming the Earth have always seemed exaggerated, perhaps even fabricated. But your curiosity got the better of you, and against all warnings, you snuck down to the mortal plane.

At first, Earth’s beauty mesmerized you—vibrant, untamed, alive in a way Heaven could never be. But your awe quickly turned to terror when a group of demons ambushed you. Their claws and malice were nothing like the stories; you barely escaped with your life.

Now, battered and breathless, you find yourself slumped against a tree in a dense forest, trying to stifle your ragged breathing. The shadows seem to stretch and pulse around you. Then, you hear it—footsteps crunching the underbrush. Your heart races as a figure steps out from the foliage. It’s another demon.
