BIRTH OF CIRRUS:


Being the son of the great Paimon, Galphor was expected to be yet another war-mongoring demon to carry on the bloodline. Instead, he found his demise in the form of a mortal woman.

Having warred against the enemies of hsi father for many years, Galphor and his troops found themselves camped near a village slated to be burnt to the ground. He took it upon himself to explore the village first, finding himself captivated by a mortal woman. Disguised, he spent the night with her. Smitten and guilt ridden, he confessed his secret. Frightened, she screamed, alerting both the village warriors and Galphors troops. During the insueing fight, the woman killed herself and the village burned with all inside. Ordered to return to the imperial palace by Paimon himself, Galphor fled to search for the womans soul.

He finally found her months later, and found out that she was unnaturally pregnant with his demonic child. Obsessed, he imprisoned her soul in an amulet, a circler with flames, and sought her corpse to find his child. Fighting his way to the mortal plane, he found the ashes of the village, and laying in the rotten body of the mortal woman was Cirrus, newborn and demonic. To protect his son, Galphor knew he needed to go into hiding, and so took his son and ran to the slums near the Morningstar Imperial Palace, and took up cooking scraps for the locals to fit in. Casting away every part of his past, and swearing to never expose his son to his heritage, Galphor tried to raise his son with relative peace of mind.

Cirrus knew slums all his childhood. He admired his father, and aspired to be like him. and in the unpoliced slums outside of the imperial palace, his father even taught him about things like temperence, law, and compassion. He always assumed those were lessons from his mother, whom he knew to have died in an accident of some sorts. He stayed close to home, at his fathers request. The only thing that puzzled him was his fathers near violent insistance that Cirrus never take demon form. His father had been insisting that since longer than he could remember. Still, he took faith and learned to cook. He was educated by his father, who strangely enough knew how to read and write.

In his adolescent years, he met a young demoness, Aradel. She wouldn't speak of why she lived in the slums or why she was alone. But she was considered wild, even for Hell's standards. Cirrus forced his was into her life, slowly earning her favor untill they became close. He spent most of his free time away from home, with her, and his father took notice. One day, she asked why he barred nothing from her except his demon form. Such a strange notion, something to public not shared between the two. In private, he did so, and she was crazed in horror. Cirrus didn't know that it was the elite Cornugon Royal Guard that had destroyed her life. Cirrus rushed home and his father spoke her Aradel, in private, forcing Cirrus to stay at home, out of his demon form. Aradel recovered, and after some time the incident seemed to be forgotten, Aradel never telling him her secret.

The day Cirrus' life changed forever came the day rebel forces occupied the slums. Scared and excited, Cirrus wanted to speak with the troops, to find out what was going on. His father forbad him, so he ran away to do so anyways. They told him about the mandatory draft, soldiers, Hell, heaven, the Morningstar imperial family, and how they were fighting to remove the order Lucifer forced to reclaim the chaos that should be Hell. After some time, he found out that the rebel leader there wasnted to see him personally. The leader smelled the Cornugon blood in his veins but mentioned nothing. Using stolen uniforms, the leader Balaclar decided to stage an 'imperial kidnapping' of Aradel. So when excited Cirrus went to find her to arrive during the 'kidnapping' he fell into a rage no-one expected to have happen. underestimating the raw power of an enraged Cornugon, Cirrus tore the kidnappers apart with his bare hands, all but one who escaped with bound Aradel. Balaclar arrived just in time to suggest joining the rebels and using his awesome power to avenge and rescue his woman. Quickly agreeing, he left at once, not telling anyone.

With the rebels, Cirrus learned the foundations of fighting. The signature weapon of the Cornugons, the spiked chain, was his weapon. He killed imperials in small skirmishes, but soon came a major engagement. Cirrus fought hard, but the rebels were crushed. In defeat, they showed some of their true colors, and Cirrus was too angry to care. However, Balaclar made a grave mistake. He had been using Aradel as a slave, and Cirrus came to seek council unnanounced to find her in chains at his feet. A struggle ensued, and ended with Balaclar's claws at her throat. Swearing vengeance, he ran home. His father confessed everything, and angry Cirrus left again to find his grandfather, Paimon. Spies for Paimon had followed Cirrus home from the rebel camp, and armed with that knowledge, Paimon held an ace on Cirrus. Cirrus surrendered and confessed to having taken part in the rebellion and begged for forgiveness. He asked for military service, saying he wanted to destroy Balaclar. Furious that Galphor had lived, let alone bred, Paimon granted Cirrus' wish and sent him straight to the toughest academies he possibly could. Failing those schools was death, and death was the only failure. Fail rates commonly over 50% for the common body, of whom all already had former training and battle experience between academies. Cirrus had no former training, but his hatred forced him on.

The last and hardest academy was the elite Cornugon Royal Guard. Expected to die in the first day, Cirrus not only passed, but survived repeated attempts on his life made by faculty. Paimon, frusterated by Cirrus successes, sent him to the Morningstar Seventh, with the intent on dealing with him later. Quickly taking Corporal, he met Sergeant Nova Morningstar. He made an unlikely friendship with her. He allowed himself to enjoy life, always guarding his past, but getting to know other demons. Over this time, Cirrus grew very close to Nova, prising her as the one friend he still cherises the most. Then the war ended. Due to the Seventh being primarily for shit bag duties and generally forgotten about, it took some time to track were Nova had taken them before returning to her family. But once found, he was brought straight to Paimon. Paimon told him that Balaclar had been killed, and a demoness matching Cirrus' description had been found dead with him. Then, he sent Cirrus to eradicate a slum full or rebels and dissidents. Unknown to Cirrus, Paimon had glamoured Cirrus before leaving, to make his father Galphor appear as Balaclar to Cirrus eyes.

Cirrus killed everyone. Every last being in the slum died before Galphor though. Galphor took demon form to fight Cirrus, but could not stand before his son's rage. upon death, the galmour wore off, and Cirrus realized what he had done. Taking his fathers pendant, he returned to Paimon, intent on killing him, but Paimon had been expecting this. Paimon lied and said he had Aradet captive and would cancel her trial and execution for Cirrus to be obediant. Doing so, Cirrus was sent to a private jail in Paimon's own palace. Imprisoned, Cirrus was beaten, tortured, and starved. Whole cages of demons would be given one ration of food, just so the jailers could watch them kill each other for the meat. Once Cirrus had survived multiple cages, he was given his own cell and a weapon of his choice. He chose the spiked chain that he had carried from the very beggining. Once there, he was forced to fight for the sport of others. Some time in, he heard from a fellow inmate that a demoness that sounded to Cirrus like Aradel had died in his cage some time back. Deciding he had failed her, he lived on. Cirrus spent 1300 years killing in the pits of that prison, driven by his hatred for Paimon.

Paimon had heard of Nova's rebellious nature and decideed that a gift could curry favor. Presenting Cirrus as a potential family servent, Paimon presented an edited service record to Lucifer. Accepting the gift, Cirrus was dragged out of the prison, cleaned up, and presented to Nova. He has been with her since.

Not trying to set the bar or nothin' >.> :-P

No, no, is good.

O_O; Holy crap, and I thought Caia had it rough. OH man, really want to hug Cirrus now. XD

Well, Cirrus did get that hug after all!

Muahaha

Heh. Am imagining Cirrus' reaction to that hug. Makes me giggle.

HAH. Imagine his reaction to my latest post.

...Muahahaha

Oh dear god. MY reaction can be likened to 'wtf just happened?'

Im trying to respond to that, and its proving more and more amusing as I go. Although I can't really say I'm surprised, just surprised it actually happened.

So yeah,

XDXDXDXDXD

:3 I had to. It was no longer a choice and Caia agreed. >D

Yeah, i saw the relative lack of choice a number of posts ago. i just didn't think THAT was going to happen. like expecting to get hit, but being like 'whyd you hit me THERE??'

*facepalm*
