Astrid Xenia an unknown woman who came from a dangerous and evil forest who happens to be humanity's only hope to survive. Will they see her worth as their hope? Or will they still doubt her existence and pretend that they can survive without her help? You? Yes, you- are you ready to face the demons you feared in your dreams or in your own system? Love can be their only hope
Everyone is happy inside the city of Venctus, this city is probably the largest in the whole land of Thundra. This city is considered the center of everything, especially trade and fighting through competition.
Thundra is further divided into five cities. First is the city of Inferno, this city is literally surrounded by fire because they are its guardians. The people living in this city have three classifications. First there are those who are capable of using the red fire, the most ordinary of all fires. Second are the people who have the ability to use the blue fire which is said to be the most sacred of all and only selected people have the ability to retaliate and the last is the black fire which is the number of people in the Inferno, usually those who have this fire are the evil beings or Demons.
The second city within Thundra is Aerial, this city is located in the highest part of Thundra where the wind is very strong. They act as guards for everyone in Thundra, especially when a typhoon approaches. They have the ability to use the air as a weapon. The third is the Terrestrial, this city is the closest to the city of Venctus because they guard its entire city. The people of the Terrestrial city are people who have the ability to use the land based on their wishes.But they don't just stay in their city. There are as many as five to ten Terrestrials in each city because they are also the builders of the walls in case of disaster. Their city is located near the forest.
The fourth is Aqua city where they can control everything that has to do with water. They are the reason why water flows smoothly in every area. It is the responsibility of the people here especially the leader to watch over everything that has to do with water, especially the rain.The city of the aqua people is close to the water. The fifth and last is the city of Aizen, this city was named after their king, Lord Aizen the first, because he taught them how to use their freezing power. And their kingdom is located in the northern part of the whole Thundra, where everything freezes, especially the trees and the kingdom.
All the people in each city lived happily until one day. As soon as the sun went down and the darkness bit in, different kinds of demons suddenly came out. Demons that eat people and also use their own magic. People rioted in different cities and many died due to unexpected events. However, due to the conflict, all the Terrestrial people tried to build different walls in each city so that the demons could no longer enter.
Three years passed and the demons who sowed more and more terror, they made the sacred forest west of Venctus their home and the people called it the Hollow Forest. In the morning they hide but at night, they look for a hole that they can destroy to eat fresh people. With the increasing number of demons, the Primes, known as the King and Queen, decided to look for people to guard each wall. Each city gathers every person who has reached the age of 18. And each person will be given a weapon capable of killing demons. They made it a policy and because of this their children were not safe either.
So they also decided to build a school where they will teach everyone especially the Primes, who are called blue bloods to fight and kill demons. And every time it gets dark, they go out to their respective places to guard the wall and they go back inside every time the sun rises.Such a routine lasted for several decades, and it cannot be denied that many also died every night as they ventured to protect the wall.
And now, almost four decades have passed and nothing has changed, except that more and more people are taxing their lives. But a big change will happen and with the arrival of a woman with strange eyes and hair, their fate will change forever.

"I'm nervous about our son Lucas" - said my wife Alicia sadly. Phoenix is our oldest son's 18th birthday tomorrow. And tomorrow is also the time when he will go to Venctus to practice so that he can start the fire-protecting Thundra against the demons
"Alicia, my love. Don't worry, our son is strong." - I reassured her. I make sure nothing bad will happen to our son. He will come home alive and finish the demons. Our son is strong and I believe in him.

"Dad, I'm afraid.. what if I die on my first night?" - my daughter said which made me flinch.
"No! You will not die Feliz! You will come back here alive!" - I exclaimed and I saw how a sad smile crept into her face. No... I can't let anything happen to my son

Primo Aqua
"Ready son?" - I asked my son who is about to turn 18 tomorrow. He is about to go to a battle field and I believe he is ready. We prepared for this day
"Yes father. I will fucking kill those demons who killed my mother" - he replied which made me smile sadly. He will avenge my wife, his mother. And I hope and pray that nothing bad will happen to him in the hollow forest

Primo Terristerial
"I am ready mom" - my daughter said with a smile on her face, but I definitely know that her smile is fake. Sino nga naman ba ang matutuwa kung sasabak ka sa pakikipaglaban sa mga demonyo kapag 18 ka na? And that only thing to get out of that place is when they are about to step in the throne.
"Magi-ingat ka anak. May the Earth Gods guide you" - tanging sagot ko nalang sakanya kasabay ng pagyakap ko sakanya ng mahigpit. I wish and pray for my daughter's safety in the battlefield.

Primo Aizen
"Aizen the third where have you been??" - I yelled as loud as I can that if it wasn't enough I would disturb the people here in the kingdom
"Darling have you seen Third?" - I asked my husband, but he gave me a smile then said
"He came first sweetheart, hehe it took you a while" - she replied causing my jaw to drop.
Damn what an impatient man!

On the other hand there was a woman sitting on top of a tree in the middle of the hollow forest. He didn't have any weapons but his cold look at every demon around was noticeable.
"Tss worthless demons" - she coldly whispered as she saw a giant serpent attacking a man with a sword. The man fell down and the snake was about to grab the man when suddenly it flared up causing it to gradually follow.
"Run boy. Run" - she mindlinked the man who is obviously still on state of shock and when the man heard her voice he quickly got up on all fours and ran quickly to the end of the Hollow Forest where the wall was they guard.
He got down from the tree and slowly walked towards the snake.
"I already warned you.. Don't ever let me see how you kill and devour my kind or else you'll gonna die tonight" - he talked to the snake and before the snake could even protest, its flames grew stronger because of it will turn to ashes.
The lady slowly closed her golden eyes and as if on cue a red magic circle appeared beneath her.
"I am the fire that will burn you slowly, the fire that will bring you in deep despair. Do not fret for this fire is your friend, for a dragon once bowed to serve the princess hidden in the castle. Come to me fire of the gifted; come to me and devour the enemies that lurks in the darkness" - as she whispered those words the red magic circle slowly turned into bluish red, like those you see in burners.
And slowly bluish red fire started to come out from it. Little by little it sticks to the body of the woman however rather than feeling pain, what she felt was a comforting embrace.
"Come forth Igneous and devour them in your thousand wolf form" - she whispered once again and as if on cue thousands of wolves suddenly appeared from the bluish red magic circle. The wolves' color is bluish red as well and their eyes are golden, same as the woman's eyes.
"Go" - she said and in just a blink of an eye the wolf disappeared from her side but even though she can't see them anymore she knows and feels what they will do.The wolves are deeply connected with her body and senses.
"Help me!!!"
Suddenly the woman looked in the direction where the scream came from. He quickly ran closer to that place and when he arrived he saw a woman lying on the ground and crawling.
She also saw a demon dragon rider not far from the girl. He looked at the woman's body and saw that she had a mark on her leg.
"So she was marked by an asshole that's why she's being chased"
"HELP!! HELP ME!!" - the woman exclaimed and as if on cue, what looked like tentacles suddenly appeared from the demon's body.
But even before it wrapped around the woman's leg, he immediately ran closer and cut off its tentacles, which made the demon scream.
"Flare" - she whispered as she pointed her hand at the leg of the woman lying on the floor. Suddenly his leg caught fire, a black flame. It did not bring disease to the woman and because of the fire the mark on her leg gradually disappeared.
"You!!" - the demon screamed and he could see its ugly appearance coming out from hiding in its cape.
It has a wolf-like appearance with red eyes and a body with tentacles. Its body also has a huge mouth with sharp teeth. The black dragon that had a body that already had some bones started to disappear.
The dragon is only one of the hundreds of dragons bitten here in the Hollow Forest and turned into demon dragons.
"Yeah it's me and you're about to disappear" - she hissed, she raised her hand and pointed it at the demon rider. The dragon was about to fly to avoid the attack he was about to make when a green magic circle appeared under the demon rider and the appearance of various vines that caused it to not fly.
"Rawrrrr!" - scream of the dragon because of the pain caused by the vines. Because the vine wrapped around it has poison that only kills the devil
The demon's tentacles extended and it was about to approach him when it suddenly stopped in the air.
"I call forth the power that is hidden within, no commoner can wield thy power for it was only bestowed upon the chosen one. Thy power will remove darkness, thy power will burn evil." - she chanted and slowly a blinding light came from her hand
"I call forth the power of Sol" - and when she said that the light from her hand attacked the demon in front of her. The light surrounded the demon and every time the light touched his skin it caused excessive burning and pain.
"GRRAWRR!" - screamed the dragon and he just stayed there. Watching the burning of two demons
"You will pay girl! You will pay!" - screamed the demon causing him to grin.
"Sure I'll wait for that" - she said with confidence and she closed her right hand that was pointing at it, at the same time as her hand closed, the two creatures ended up turning into ashes.
He turned to the woman he saved and he could see the shock on her face
"Be careful Miss. I may not be here to save you next time you'll be in trouble." - she said and she turned away from him before she started walking away from the person she saved. Today is her birthday, her 18th birthday to be exact. And the very next day he'll be going to a school to train... if he even needs to train. I just hope that when he returns to this place, the woman he saved will still be here, but it seems unlikely that will happen.
With him missing a few days in this place, there is sure to be a lot to lose.
"Fuck" - she said crisply as she clench her hand into fish. Well, she would choose not to leave the place but she also knows that she needs to. That's the only way to stop the demons and she will do everything to save future generations from its demise.
