(The world is at war. Demons and mortals clash, their hatred fueling endless bloodshed. At the helm of the demonic forces stands Feng Xiu—the ruthless and powerful Demon King. Unchallenged in strength, he rules with an iron fist, showing no mercy to those who disobey. Yet, there is one he protects: Mizuki. Mizuki, an 18-year-old immortal, is a rare being—a Half Moon Demon and Fairy. With sky-blue eyes, flowing brown hair adorned with royal blue flowers, and celestial wings that shimmer like the moon, she is a vision of ethereal beauty. Cloaked in a starry gown, she hides her demonic nature from humans, traveling among them as an ally. Her two companions, Kai, a skilled swordsman, and Amara, a sharp-witted healer, keep her safe from the dangers of their war-torn world. The group is unaware she is part demon herself. The three walked down the dirt path, the forest quiet around them. Mizuki’s wings twitched slightly under her cloak, but she remained silent.)

(A figure stepped onto the path—a lone traveler with a warm smile.) (Figure) “Greetings Travelers.”he said smoothly. “I come bearing gifts.”

Kai’s hand rested near his sword. (Kai) “Gifts?”

(Figure) Yes,” the man nodded, revealing glistening crystals. “For protection, fortune, and health.” His gaze lingered on Mizuki as he handed them over.

Amara, intrigued, accepted one. (Amara) “How thoughtful,” she murmured.

(Mizuki suppressed a shiver. Every instinct screamed at her—this was no human. They don’t understand. They don’t know that every demon, without fail, feels the urge to consume her. And when they’re near Feng Xiu, The demon king, they don’t attack.)

The man smiled. (Figure) “Well, Have a good day.”

(As he disappeared, an unsettling stillness followed.)

(Amara) That man… something’s not right about him,” Amara muttered.

Kai eyed the crystals. (Kai) “We’ll see.”

(Unaware of the curse now upon them, they walked on.)
