Lived in Era 19 and got 1 heir(s) (Shadowhunter).
The Demonlord NightFury had been rampaging through the realms of Fantasia, slaughtering anything and anyone that dared to oppose him on his path to dominate this world. Lord Nightfury only stopped once during his onslaught in order to regain some strenght and to give his armies some rest before they would march on. The city he had chosen to set up his camp, had been the abandoned elven town of Amranulurial. However during that night he discovered the city not quite being abandoned, as a small group of female elves had been lurking in the shadows of the city. As the group of elves went on the attack, one of them dared to enter the tent in which NightFury was supposed to be sleeping.

As the battle outside NightFury's tent went on, there was another battle getting started inside. NightFury had been doing everything except sleeping. He had been waiting, waiting for the one that dared to enter. His demonsoul knew the city wasn't abandoned, and he also knew that it would be Amlagwen who had the bravery of entering his tent and try to assasinate him. As she sneaked inside silently and moved onto where she thought NightFury was sleeping, she suddenly was jumped and knocked unconcious by the Demonlord who had been hiding in the shadows near the entrance of his tent. Outside, her fellow elven warriors had been killed off by the guards, but she would not die just yet, because NightFury needed her for a ritual.

As she was carried to the altar, NightFury started to chant the words to the ritual that was about to happen. As he was chanting, his body slowly started to change into that of the demon with whom he had been merged. Slowly the demonlike tentacles emerged from his body, entangling Amlagwen in the proces and the room began to glow in the eerie green way which seemed to be common with the Carrothian rituals. As Amlagwen lay on the altar entangled by NightFury's tentacles, she seemed to awaken. Nightfury's demonform was now hovering at a small distance above her body and as she started to scream, NightFury's mouth touched hers and his tongue went deep inside her throat, silencing the noice she had been making. The ritual was about to reach it's climax and throughout the city of Amranulurial a strong wind sweaped through the abandoned streets, knocking down monuments, trees and soldiers seeking refuge. With an explosion of light the ritual ended and NightFury had changed back to his former self. Amlagwen was laying still on the altar with her eyes and mouth wide open.

NightFury's army moved on, leaving Amlagwen behind in the state she was in after the ritual ended. As the army swept through the lands, a few elven scouts stumbled upon the comatised body of Amlagwen and they took her back to the hidden elven capital, little did they know she had been tainted by the demon inside NightFury. As the months passed by, she slowly started to react on her surroundings and eventually she had fully recovered from what horrific acts NightFury had done with her during the ritual. The only thing she found weird was that she wasn't feeling well during the mornings and had an increased appetite for meat, but she took this for granted since she was still alive. Then on a darkened night, the moon slowly started to glow a different way as it used to, as the Elder walked outside to watch the sky, Amlagwen started to scream in pain as the true nature of the ritual was about to unfold.

Hearing the screams a few of the Elder rushed into the room where Amlagwen resided, astonished to see that she was giving birth as the lunar event outside was ending. It turned out she was pregnant all this time, however she knew it was impossible, unless...stopping at this horrible thought, she looked at the little babyboy to whom she had given life to. It looked like a normal baby, however there was something about his eyes, they seemed to be green and his skin seemed darker then those of other children she had seen in the village. Thinking nothing of it, she decided that she would keep the boy as well as the secret of his origin. As the months and years progressed, the little boy grew up rather fast amongst the Elven people, learning all they were able to teach him. During hunting sessions, it turned out he was more stealthy then the others, seemingly being able to merge with the shadows as he stalked his prey, hence they named him ShadowHunter.

ShadowHunter himself however was already wondering, why he was able to do things like sneaking about the woods unnoticed as well as being able to cast magic with an almost uncontrollable power during magicschool. His teachers had also noticed that his traits had become rather different from those of the other children in the village and turned to the Elder Council for advice. The Elder Council had no idea what could be the cause of ShadowHunter's unnatural developement and they decided to visit Amlagwen for an answer. However as they arrived at her house, they found that she had fled the village. The Council searched the house and found a letter written in Amlagwen's handwriting, as they read it, they suddenly started to show a worried expression upon their faces. Amlagwen had left the village because she feared what the Elves would do to her once they found out that ShadowHunter's father was actually the Demonlord NightFury.

When ShadowHunter returned to his home after yet another succesfull huntingclass, he found not his mother, but the entire Elder Council waiting his arrival. As the Council explained why his mother had left the village in such a hurry, ShadowHunter started to pack his things, he figured that his father being a demonlord would make him rather unwelcome in the village from now on. The Council looked upon the young boy and told him they had hoped that his unnatural traits had been of another origin, however he should not forget the things they'd thought him over the years. ShadowHunter walked away and ran into the woods, screaming that he'll find his socalled father and that he will get his revenge! The elves who witnessed the little boy leaving the village in such a hurry, had been stunned by the vengefull undertone of the boy's voice as he ran into the woods. They hoped those words had been directed at his father Demonlord NightFury and not at their peacefull village.
