The office where Dairadel and Alex where, was a calm and bright room. Dairadel sat infront of his large desk, looking at Alex who stood a few feet away from his table. Behind Dairadel was a huge window, one that reflected the morning sun very well. Not just that, but there was also a large book shelf containing all sorts of books to Alex's far right which was Dairadel's far left. Alex had obviously noticed how calm and comfortable this room was, he thought to himself "Wow, not bad for a room.", his eye glanced to the books on the shelf "Looks like it's divided into different categories.", he thought once again. Dairadel explained to him "Those books contain all sorts of techniques and powerful history. Although a few of them are just novels for entertainment, while some other one's are dictionaries.", Alex glanced back at him "Oh, that's nice to hear.", he responded. Alex proceeded to ask, his face straight and his chin up high "If I may be so bold to ask, what did you call me here for, King Dairadel?". Dairadel, his face looking indifferent, but not rude or unreasonable "You sure are a respectful one. You show no signs of fear or wariness whatsoever.", Alex responded to Dairadel's observations "Well, I'm used to a setting like this, so I'm not to confused or strategic on how to reply.". Dairadel scoffed "So, where do you come from, Alex Starion?", Alex told him "Calling me Alex is fine. As for where I come from, I come from the City Of Kagahara, although we mostly call it The City. Just like every other city or country, it's mostly filled with lots of people from different families and clans.". Dairadel proceeded to ask "is it also war based?", Alex answered "Yep, pretty much. Everyone's trained in the academy on how to go on missions and use your abilities and stuff.", Dairadel added "Hence, it gets harder the more you go up a class. Makes sense.". Dairadel rested his back on his chair "Alex, I've told you about the Devil King, right?", Alex blinked "Yeah, you did tell me about the Devil King.". Alex thought to himself "I didn't know too much about the game, this is probably my chance to understand the story.". Dairadel spoke "The Devil King and I where friends, back when we where still young.", Alex wasn't so surprised, but pretended to be anyway "Hm? Really?". Dairadel explained "Back then, before this world came into ruin, the world was united. We had lots of families and clans, along side country's with their ways of life. Among those countries was the Delevian Country. It was a mix of the Armitants and the Devil race.", Alex thought to himself "Great, a back story. I should be able to get something good out of this.". Dairadel's explanation continued "Just like the society you come from, we too, also had to train our body and our powers. But, we never harmed each other. We usually hunted down beasts that terrorised our societies, until one day, a disagreement started.". Alex asked "Disagreement?", Dairadel replied "There where beasts we weren't supposed to touch, talk less of kill. Those where sacred beasts, and the Devil race were fond of those beasts. Of course, we were one, but that didn't mean we always shared our clan's culture and stuff. And due to the anger the Devil Race felt for their sacred beasts being killed, they filed a war against us.". Alex sighed in his mind, and thought to himself in a straight face "Oh boy. I think i know where this is going.", Dairadel explained "The country of Delevian split into two, the Devil Race and the Armitants split apart and where at war. Obviously, I was just a kid at the time, and Xalvagon was my friend who happened to be the young Prince of the Devil Race at the time.". Alex then asked "So you're saying that you two used to be friends before the war between your races split you apart?", Dairadel told him "Yes, that's exactly right. Our abilities in which we slew beasts with, were used on one another. We battled in many wars against each other as a result. Eventually, the rest of the world joined in, it was a world war against the Devil Race.". Dairadel had a sad smile on his face "Eventually, the Devil Race was wiped off the map of the world, this created peace for a while, although the war only lasted for a few years before it ended.", Alex then asked "Doesn't that mean a few people of the Devil Race survived the war? You did say the war only ended for a period of time.". Dairadel explained to him "Yes, about five Devil children survived. A few years back, those 5 children were so strong to the point that they came back, going from country to country and destroying everything. It took them just one month to turn civilization into ashes.", he remembered he and Xalvagon standing face to face as kids who were a few years away from entering their young teens, both of them looking depressed, especially Xalvagon. Xalvagon had long white hair and eye bags as a result of his depression of his race. Dairadel on the other hand had black spikey hair while feeling sad for his friend. The two kids who were once friends had realised that they where at opposite sides, made to hate each other. Dairadel remembered himself and Xalvagon all grown up, standing in the air, the world around them was being destroyed, storms going on rampages. Xalvagon looked coldly at Dairadel who looked back with anger and malice. Xalvagon said to the man that was once his friend "You look good, Dairadel. I hear you're the leader of what used to be once called the Delevian Country.", Dairadel replied "We're the Rebellion's, that the name we call our country now.". Xalvagon smirked, his power rising and shooting out of his body with his hands stretch out. A giant hydra with nine heads broke out of the ground, lightning shooting out from all its mouths as it let out a powerful screech "ALRIGHT THEN, LETS SETTLE THIS, OLD FRIEND! I LOOK FORWARD TO THE KIND OF BATTLES WELL BE FIGHTING FROM NOW ON!", Xalvagon declared. Dairadel's power surged, a sword of black and yellow materialized on his hand "As do I as well.". Back to the present, Dairadel had a sad smile on his face "We've fought over two hundred more times since then. And after that, he brought down an army of hydra just to kill me and wipe out my country. Obviously the rest of the country developed technology and new powers just to combat against the rest of the devil children, but the battle ended In chaos all the same.". Indeed, this was a very tragic tale from Dairadel who had felt all sorts of emotions from fighting a person who was once his friend, as well as trying to protect all what he now had.
