"Hello, young Equinox. You can call Cain. An Asmodian that killed his own brother." Cain stated as he looked at Adrian.
"Sorry but I do not know of that na." Adrian stated as it seems that the Asmodian in front of him wanted to see his reaction once he hears Cain's na.
"Is that so? Has my story not been passed down because it is too shaful?" Cain stated as he got dismayed hearing that his story is not being told by the demons.
"It is not that your story is not told but there are no survivors from the ancient era that are still alive now. The only one that I know who was alive at that era is Pann but he would probably be a kid back then. All we have of Asmodians are recollections that they were once alive and how they are the ancestors of the five races." Adrian answered which greatly shocked Cain.
"That should be impossible. The items that preserve the five races should still be active. There should be no reason that they our stories and experience to be erased. Those five items at as a record of all the lives of the five races." Cain stated.
"Five items…if you are referring to the five items that can create our races then only the Selvaggian have theirs. The other races are looking for their items as they do not have it at the mont. The Will of The Wilde is also not properly powered up." Adrian stated as he knows that the five races are very low in numbers because their origin items are missing or unusable.
"Are you saying that the Daemos are now dwindling in numbers? Are the other races like you and have limited numbers?" Cain asked as it seems that he cared for then well being of the five races.
"Yes. You could say that the ones dominating the world in terms of population are the humans, elves, gnos, orcs, and dwarves. There are dragonkin and they are increasing in numbers because of a hero rising among them." Adrian stated.
"I should not have been locked in here. If it weren't for the curse that is affecting my body right now, then I would have no problem with breaking these chains away." Cain stated as he looked so gloomy.
"How did you get here anyway? I am pretty sure that Asmodians are powerful enough to break free from sothing like that." Adrian stated.
"I am not able to because of the curse and that these things suck all my mana when I try struggling. You may be able to help out of these but that will just be useless anyway." Cain stated as he looked glum.
"I can help you as long as you tell how I can break the chains away." Adrian stated but Cain did not answer him right away.
"I like your positiveness, young Equinox. I do but I am already dying. I can sense it because I can feel the grasp of the aspect of death for my life. Even if you take away these chains, I will still die in about a few days. They already have taken too much from at this point and I am already tired of continuing to live anyways." Cain stated as he looked more tired than he was before.
"If you fight then you can stay alive. You should not let your past define what you can be in the future. You must use the past as a steppingstone and not sothing to hold you back." Adrian stated but Cain is not convinced.
"I deserve this because I killed my own brother. I am only getting what I deserve right now. You do not need to pity as I am only having karma co through . Instead, I have one final request from you." Cain stated.
"Request?" Adrian uttered.
"Find my brother or rather collect the pieces of my brother's soul." Cain stated as a mission suddenly popped up.

[Do you wish to accept the quest given? Yes or No.]
"I accept." Adrian stated as he accepted the mission that is definitely not easy.
"Thank you, young Equinox. I shall now tell you about my brother whose na was Abel." Cain stated as he told the story of his brother.
Cain and Abel were twins that were born only a minute apart. Cain being the oldest while Abel the youngest. Their parents were both Asmodian that were closer to the Daemos as they looked like them. The two were naturally born which is rare for Asmodians because they have a difficult ti in creating descendants.
Their births were naturally celebrated but the two were constantly compared by everyone. Even if the brother's love each other, the constant comparisons will eventually create a rift between the brothers. This rift further intensified when Abel fell in love with an angel.
Cain knew that the angel would never love his brother because he knew that angels are a selfish race that only looked at their own race. They were made to be selfish and only follow the commands of the Goddess of Light.
Cain wanted to give advice to his brother, but the dark gods soon invaded the universe. The fight between the gods of Pandemonium and the dark gods soon ca. The Asmodians beca the fighters at the forefront while the gods supported them.
In the end, the dark gods were repelled but at the cost at the lives of the Asmodians. Most of the Asmodians died in the war but others died after because of the curses that the dark gods used against them. The dark gods might have been afraid of the Asmodians but they also used whatever ans necessary in order to kill their weaknesses.
Cain managed to return from the war alive. He was cursed but he could bear it at the sa ti. He wanted to find his brother because their parents died during the war. In the end, he learned that his brother shielded his lover from the dark gods, but the angels did not even support him or take him back from being abducted.
Cain tracked down the dark god that kidnapped his brother, but he was not happy with the result. He learned that the dark god infected his brother like a parasitic lifeform. Even with the barrier that separated the planes of existence, the dark god that infected his brother did not separate from him.
The dark god that day said sothing unthinkable to Cain. It is so unthinkable that he did not even want to believe that is actually real. The downfall of his brother is actually due to the angels or rather the lover that he trusted so much.
"Your brother was so easy to latch on to. He was almost brainless when I ca. You are lucky that I did not kill him because I thought that his body is useful to . Whatever those stupid shining white birds did to him must be so effective that he felt like an empty husk." Abel stated or rather the possessed Abel stated.
"You have no right to use my brother as a host, vile creature. Your other companions have either been killed or driven away from this plane of existence. Get out of my brother right this instant." Cain stated as he started attacking his brother or rather the dark god that latched onto his body.
"Should I actually tell you sothing interesting? There is not much of him left to begin with. Magic like this is very complex because they made him almost like a doll. I just ca in and made the doll co to life after all." The possessed Abel stated as the two brothers started wreaking havoc on the surroundings.
In the end, Cain managed to seal the movents of his brother and was able to separate the dark god from Abel. The only complication is that Abel could barely live, and it seems that the dark god was not lying when it said that there is nothing left from his brother.
"I am sorry, Cain. It seems that I am not strong enough to hold on. My soul could no longer hold on. I will not be able to reincarnate because my soul is broken already." Abel stated as he died in Cain's arms.
Cain saw his brother's soul break into pieces, and it almost broke into nothingness if Cain did not interrupt. Cain used his life force to keep fragnts in place, but he does not know how many he created. He passed out as soon he sowhat fixed his brother's soul.
