The Night-watch Demon

My world as I knew it was over and I was banished to this new world being the only one of my kind. There was a war going on between the realms of demons and night-watchers (who captured demons that left their realm) and would banish them back into oblivion. The war seemed like it would never end and us night-watchers would have prospered as we always do. But Hero, as the demons refer to their king was different than the rest. Hero used to be a night-watcher but one day changed him and he knew how to overpower the night-watchers. He was ruthless and unstoppable, and my family feared only for my safety. My father and mother were the best night-watchers ever, but they too had their limits. Before I was banished my mother gave me a little black book and said when I land, I will find what I am looking for. I didn’t understand what she meant, with all the chaos going on and my world crumbling but, in her eyes, there was hope. Hope for me. And here I am standing in this mortal world with nothing but this black book. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I opened it, didn’t know if it was a key to another dimension but I knew there would be answers. Looking around my surroundings this world seemed rather boring, compared to the mountain towers and rivers that flowed between my realm, but I guess this is how mortals lived. It was nightfall when I descended from the sky, so I knew that I was not noticed but my senses were still on alert. One can never be too careful when it comes to a world one does not know.
