A Cities Love Song

Prologe

In ages past, creatures created by Lucifer himself to torment the mortals upon the Earth that his father, God loved so much. Vampires didn’t start out as the creatures we know today: It started with God’s creation of six generals; demons with the ability to create a lower level of creature. They were set free on the Earth below, their sole purpose to create in God's name all manner of creatures that would walk this new world. Envious of God’s love of these lesser creatures over that of his angelic brethren, Lucifer, an angel of the highest order, cursed the mortals, pinning his descent to Hell upon them. In wake of his fall, the factions of Heaven and Hell were born, resulting in war that would shake the Earth.

Lucifer's brother: Michael, in spite of his love for his sibling, swore allegiance to their Father. In vain, Michael attempted to convince his brother to surrender and rejoin their father in Heaven, but the vain Lucifer had no intention of ceasing his coup, deeming mortals imperfect, a blight upon the Earth. Vicious battles raged amongst their followers, scores of casualties on each side, until one, where the brothers would face each other in combat.

Their battle shook the pillars of Heaven and victory for Lucifer, having struck a mortal blow unto Michael. This act infuriated God who cast his from Heaven to the Earth below. Defeated and humiliated, refusing to dwell amongst the inferior mortals he cursed, gathered what remained of his power, creating a dominion beneath the Earth, in defiance, bringing with him those who were also forsaken. Centuries had past, Lucifer had ample time to heal from his wounds. Ready to carry out his vengeance upon the Heavens that had forsaken him, he created the demon, Nero born from half of Lucifer’s heart, and blessed with his power. Nero's first goal was to turn those who had fallen with Lucifer into demons themselves; accomplished only by her bite, delivering to them the gift of  immortality as it were. With the fallen transformed, they were ready to bring their blessing unto Earth.

Upon reaching the world above, Nero seethed with hatred, as she knew naught but loathing for the creatures God loved more than his own.  As a few centuries passed, Nero would ceased the spread of her blessing, becoming a Queen over the mortals she once loathed. The mortal races were educated under her rule, and peace would reign in this once chaotic world. Despite her change, her original loyalties to her own, as well, as to Lucifer, began to haunt her.

This angered her brethren, who attempted to overthrow her upon rescuing a human child. Nero overpowered them with ease, but the kindness that had blossomed within her heart would lead her to spare those that wronged her. With each betrayal, unsure what motivated those who were once loyal to her. A chance to usurp and attain her power? Or was it because of her treasonous actions?

Finally, it happened, a coup to seize control over the lands she ruled was being staged by her former followers. In spite of her kingdom’s warning and methods to protect her, she would be slain… or so it seemed. With Nero declared dead, the next in line took his place upon the throne she had created.

In wake of her kingdom’s seizure, she traveled in secret, gathering any and all who would aid her in reclaiming that which she had lost. Many centuries would pass, and the cycle of history repeats, this time upon a new battlefield, between the mortals of Earth and the legions of Hell itself.

Will you be it’s salvation, or an agent of its destruction?
