It is the new millenia, in this time evil lurk around almost everywhere, demons disguises as human, animals or anything to pursue their dreams of taking over the world....and then there were witches.....half of them human, so they decided to hunt demon and kills them, from time imemorial, this battle have been going on....the tough wins.....but who can surpass the evilness of demons? especially demons like Oslak? who is in close relation with the big boss "satan"; tagged the big boss favorite......
but then, with his power who could resist him.....
even his sworn enemy have fallen into his mercy...even a white which who have sworn to kill every demon that comes in their path, fell on her knees......fallen.....in love?

And then, secretly, she made love with him, believing that his intention was true, that he shall vow to kill his fellow demon for her, unknown to other witches who have sacrificed life to kill demons...here she is, fallen to an enemy.
Every now and then, they will see each other secretly, in a world only he, Oslak the Demon knows, they will exchange kisses, he will profess his love...but then behind every kiss, and every thrust is a lie....a lie to kill a powerful witch

"It is time Oslak to kill the woman...." the voice of the "boss" echoed in his ear while he was resting on his lair, but then he knew he cannot for the witch is bearing with her the fruit of his lies
"She is having my child"
"then kill the child as well"
no answer
"I can read your mind Oslak" the voice
"If that child is the mix of me, a powerful demon and Alora, a powerful witch, she then can be the most powerful demon......if she is raised here....she can be the realization of your dream to take over this world."
"well then...." said the voice, "let her have the baby, then burn her!" ended the voice then it was gone.

9 months had passed, The demon Oslak was never again seen by Alora, she run away from her village until the day she give birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl......and then.......

A woman, wearing a red house dress were screaming, she went inside the cavern where Alora's daughter was laying, peacefully quiet, the Demon Oslak hid himself and cast spell on every human to see the child looks like a demon
"The child is a demon.....she is a daughter of a demon we must kill the child" shouted the woman
Town folks went in to see, and to their eyes they see a hideous monster sleeping quietly in rocker, Alora confused went inside using her power, seeing a normal baby, she knew, Oslak is here, and to what he wants she will find out, but the people were so angry at her that they beat her up, thinking she herself is a demon
"You're a demon, die!!!!!!" shouted the town folks, then they tied her up after beating her and hurled her to their plaza, tied in the pole that stands in the center, from then on, she was burned....she can hear her cry, her cry of innocence...and then she shouted her daughters name last....."ZALTA!!!!!!!!!!!" then she succumbed to her death...and finally burned at stake.

Oslak relieved the towns folk of the spell, and they hurried back to the cavern to kill the demon child, but to their surprise, what they see is a beatiful child, they were so surprised, that finally they thought of the burned woman who claims innocence....they burned an innocent woman, some slump on the floor, some left in disgust, some cried, some shouted in grief...but Oslak, looking as he was hid somewhere was happy, he was grinning with contentment, for the sorrow he had brought upon the humankind.....that is the reason why he and the big boss were close anyway.
In the middle of the evening, he took his daughter to his arm and teleported back to his lair, where he was greeted by his servant demon.
"This is the fruit of my loin, my heiress to my throne....it is in her that my full power is given, heed her words, make her safe and never hurt even a single strand of her hair!!!!!" this Oslak commanded, a command as good as the big boss command...nobody dares touch the child.

It was after 25 years, Zalta had grown to be a very powerful demon, she had killed all his fathers enemies, had done great distress to humankind, had broken hundreds of men's heart, killed many of them....but then, still that side of her that says.....Zalta, Enough, hear me.....this is not you....i am your mother.
This voice in her head had been bugging her for years, in her dreams she sees a beautiful woman, almost just like her, she is embracing her, and in every embrace she feels security, she is as if being under a blanket, nobody can harm her...even though she is a demon, and anyone who hurt her dies with her father's wrath....but then she believed that demons never have parents...her father is just her father for rearing her...she comes from nowhere.....but then how come she looks different from others?
As years pass, this voice in her head becomes stronger and stronger, soon it will be her 25th birthday, her father will be transferring every evilness in him to her...she was being drawn by the voice to a place, a place...she seems to know, seems familiar....

She stepped in a cavern, there was merry singing in the stage, she sat herself in the cavern's bar
"what is it lady?" ask an old man to Zalta, while he was doing something
"Whisky" she answered in a calm manner. The old buttler lift his head, and his eyes met hers, a look of surprise can be seen in his eyes
"I have seen that...eyes before!!!! I know i' ve seen that eyes before!" exclaimed the buttler
"What's in you old man?" ask Zalta, she herself was puzzled with the oldman's reaction
the old man was quiet, looking at her intensely.........
for the first time in her life, her heart beat fast...is she nervous? afraid? why? she can kill these stupid people in an instant...why then is she feeling this way? She decided to move away, she was near the door, when the old buttler broke the silence....
"You! you are the lost daughter of the woman we burned at stake......her name....her name..."he can't seem to put the right name in his tongue
She stop. turned around and look at the buttler, everyone in the cavern now is looking at her. An old lady screamed a name
"ALORA!!!!!!"
Alora?...yes....that name was familiar.....she knows that name but can't recall how?, an acquaintance? no, a friend? she doesnt have human friends, shes a demon...but the name gave her a feeling of belongingness, a feeling of wanting, a feeling of parenthood and identity.
The old woman came near her, look at her eyes, then she cried and knelt before her
"I have been waiting all these years to find you, child.....to ask for your forgiveness....now i am prepared to die even in your hands" she said while crying
In her real sense, she would have killed her, not only her but everybody in that cavern, but what is this she is feeling? remorse? can a demon feel remorse at all? she can't kill this lady, nor anybody in this room...its as if it is protected in some sort, protected by love? love? what is love? does she know the meaning of such word?
She turned around, walk out of the door and left everyone, she can't beleive herself for sparing such idiots....she was walking
"What is it that you want baltos?" she exclaimed in a calm manner to a demon walking hidden at her back
"I....i know what happened?" he hissed like a snake, winding his upper torso left and right
"I dont want to know"
"you will know who alora issssss"
she stopped, the wanting was ignited, "you can kill me if i sssssay a lie"baltos
she think, hard...and for the first time her heart speaks rather than her brain. Both of them disappear

In a flash everything had been relayed on her, in detail, her father's intention, and lies and deciet.
She was in a rage, not even Oslak can stop, for she is much powerful than her own father.

He was sleeping, though he knew his fate...he is ready
She was holding the sacred knife given by Baltos, his father's adviser, a secret enemy
then there was blood...............

She have to flew away to get off the other demons, wanting to kill her for killing Oslak, his death dissolves all laws Oslak made.
She was tired, bleeding from injuries, she cant fly anymore
"TOOOOOTTTTTTTTTT!"
