Makai History, part 2

After the Demons had fled from Hell to the newly created Makai, they decided to split themselves from the Devils as much as possible.

The Demons created a new language, called Daemon, that after, three hundred years, everyone spoke fluently, and thus threw off the language of the Devils, which is known as Latin.

Don't be afraid of a language; without the accompanying power, it is simply a method of speech. Although I know a bit of Latin, languages have a tough time of sticking around in my head, so I just know a handful of words and a bit of the grammar.

Anyways, another few hundred years pass with the Demons living in peace, the few who try to maintain their combat prowess practicing their spells and skills in (and sometimes on) the massive desert laced with mountains. The mountains are reformed by the sand after a few weeks if they are destroyed, which is good for some of the powerful assault spells that Demons have at their disposal.

One of the Demons, named Kazandar, took a position of leadership at the request of the community, and she was an exceptional ruler. She didn't exert her influence whenever she felt like it, and was called "Lesparda", which roughly translated from Daemon to English as "the benevolent princess". (Or something like that. Language ain't my thing.)

Kazandar was also a great scholar, devoting what time she didn't use to settle disputes and conflicts to furthering her people's society. She even learned how to speak the language of the Spirits, which has not yet been given an official name, although it is quite similar to Japanese.

While the Demons were relaxing in their peace, however, the Spirits continued to wage war against the Devils. The Spirits noticed that their were far fewer Devils than before, even though a greater number was fighting, and sent a small team of warriors, headed by the Spirit Luck herself, to search for any Devils that were hiding in pocket dimensions.

As was inevitable with Luck at the head of the team, they quickly found the Demons in Makai, and were welcomed peacefully. Though the warriors were suspicious at first, seeing Luck completely at ease assuaged their fears. Luck negotiated an alliance with Kazandar, who was more than happy to help the Spirits, although the number of Demons was only just beginning to grow.

Kazandar made an offer to Luck; I have a word for word transcript of that event, written by Luck herself. The reason I left out some bits of the negotiation were... well, let's just say that few words were said... Anyways, Kazandar's offer was "Give me time to build an army, and I will send some of my most gifted mages to teach your armies some of our spells."

Thus the Spirits, who had only had basic Physical and Mental magic up until then, gained access to Meta magic and Elemental magic. The Physical and Mental magic was then taught to the Demon mages, who took the knowledge back with them to Makai where some Demon clans, like the Kitsune and Ape clans, would find their greatest strengths in the new spells.

Time waged on, and the Demon numbers grew as fewer and fewer Spirits died in the war against the Devils. After nearly five hundred years, the Demons joined the war completely, giving some much needed relief to the battle-weary Spirits.

The Demons noticed that they were growing stronger the more they fought; their magic grew in strength. What was once a spell to warm one's dinner became a flamethrower. With the strength that the Demons now possessed, their was a need for control. Kitsune Demons took over the fighting for the Demons for a while; their magic was already refined as much as possible, and the other Demons needed to regain control over their newfound power.

As even more time passed, the Spirits and Demons noticed that they were facing the same foes over and over again. It was then that the Devil known as Lucifer was captured and interrogated by the Spirits and Demons. The translator and primary interrogator was a Demon named Nubarec, and the scribe for the interrogation was a Grand Spirit known as Lucia.

I'll try to stretch my influence with the Spirits and gain the transcripts from Lucia, but I make no promises. Lucia the Life-Bringer is too calm for me to speak to for long, and I would prefer to keep my sanity.
