A young woman that appeared in her late teens was breathing heavily. She had a buxom figure, a light skin tone, and blue-green eyes. She had long brown hair that reached down to her thighs, with a single hair strand sticking out from the top as her bangs hung loosely covering her forehead and framed her face.
Currently she was in a hospital gown with her legs open, doing the one thing only a woman can do.
Give birth.
Venelana Gremory née Bael, wife of the current head of the Gremory Clan.
She was giving birth to her third child today.
It was a miracle that she was still able to keep such an amazing figure after her second time.
But then again, she was a Devil.
Such a thing was easy for her.
"One more push dear, just one more." Her husband said to her.
She just gave him an evil look, "I know thaaaat!" she shouted as she finally pushed her child out and a wonderful cry filled the room.
"It's a girl, a beautiful girl!" the nurse said as she went to clean the young child.
After the cleaning, the child was brought Venelana in a pink blanket.
She opened it with a smile as she looked at her second daughter.
She had a tuft of red hair, just like her father and siblings, the same light skin tone as herself, husband, and children. Next were her eyes, they were colored not her husband's or her own blue-green color which both they and their children had, but more of a bright ocean blue.
The child looked at her and let out a squeal of happiness and Venelana hugged her close.
"Welcome to the world my little Haru." The mother said as she kissed the child on the forehead as her husband came close to hug both her and his newest child.
And so, a new legend was born.
7 Years Later…
A small child with long red hair with a single hair strand sticking out from the top as her bangs hung loosely covering her forehead and framed her face. She wore a pair of black shorts and shoes along with a yellow shirt as she ran through the bushes and climbed up a hill, she turned around as a smile tugged on her lips as she cupped her hands around her mouth, "Come on Ravvy, you're missing the view!" she shouted with a giggle.
A disgruntled noise was her reply as another girl came out of the bush and walked tiredly up the hill.
She had long blonde hair in two pigtails with large drill-like curls and blue ribbons holding them in place. The front of her hair had several bangs hanging over her forehead, with a V-shaped fringe hanging over the bridge of her nose. Her eyes were a darker shade of blue then Haru's and she wore a fancy pink dress with brown dress shoes, which were not very unfit for hiking in the woods such as this and had a few twigs in her hair.
This was Ravel Phenex, Haru's best and closest friend.
Since her older sister by two years Rias Gremory was scheduled to marry Ravel's older youngest brother Riser when they were older, both families thought it would be good for them to become friends.
When they first met, it was without a doubt a bit rocky since Ravel thought she was far superior to Haru due to her powers of immortality, but it didn't end very well when Haru had enough.
Even though Haru was a bit of an airhead, carefree, and just liked to have fun. When it came to combat… She was nothing but a true devil in frightening ways.
That was why everyone tried to make sure not to get Haru angry.
Basically, even when Ravel kept reviving, it didn't stop the pain Haru inflicted due to the powers she inherited from her mother of the Bael clan, the Power of Destruction, just like her older siblings did. Combine that with the Gremory's youngest tenacity and brutality in combat? Well, it just seemed Ravel only got up to take more and more until she fainted from pain and exhaustion.
Though even when their parents found out about the "scuffle", it did turn out that Ravel was humbled greatly from the fight and was eager to be around Haru since she was awed by how powerful she was.
"Honestly, how can you have so much energy?" Ravel asked her with a huff of breath while getting some branches out of her hair. They've been running around like this all day!
Haru giggled, "You're just lazy. Lazy lazy Ravvy." she teased with a light grin as she turned back to the purple sky of the Underworld and saw the setting sun. She plopped herself down on her bottom and patted the seat next to her, asking Ravel to sit too.
Ravel did so and looked at the sunset with a smile, but turned to her friend and noticed that she was strangely quiet.
It was quite scary since she was usually loud at times.
"Something wrong?"
Haru sighed and played with her bangs a bit, "Onee-chan got this Akeno girl as her Queen after her recent visit to the human world."
"So?"
"She's not spending as much time with me as before." The redhead pouted and crinkled her nose.
Ravel giggled a little, her friend was so possessive at times.
Haru laid down on her back with a plop and looked up.
"Hey Ravvy, would you be my Queen?" she asked as she gave her those big puppy eyes.
Eh?
"Eh?" Ravel repeated from her mind.
"Pleaseeee. Onee-chan has her own Queen, and I don't want to be left behind!" Haru begged as she grasped Ravel's hand and started to add a whimpering pout to her puppy dog eyes.
"Um." Ah, her resolve on the matter to begin with was already going down fast.
Don't look at her with those eyes!
Ah, looking that cute should be illegal!
"You know I want to be a Maou, I want to even beat Onii-tan for his Lucifer title and you'll become even stronger then Grayfia-nee if we work hard enough! Plus if you become a Queen, you'll get faster, strongest, sturdier, and more magically powered. Combine that with your Immortality, Pyrokinesis, and Aerokinesis, you'll be supercharged so that you could easily beat that baka Riser." The Gremory stated tactically.
She never really liked the third son of the Phenex clan. The first son, sure, he gave her candy and was nice. Never met the second son. But that Riser just rubbed her the wrong way.
Haru grasped Ravel's other hand and held them close to her chest and came an inch away from Ravel's face, "Please Ravvy?" she asked using that damnable pet name that she secretly found cute.
Not that she would ever admit it!
After a long suffering look at Haru's face, the only daughter of the Phenex clan caved.
"Yes."
"Yahooo!" Haru cheered as she circled her arms around Ravel's neck and pulled her close in happiness.
Ravel's cheeks turned a tint of pink, but gave a small smile as well.
"We better get going back or Onii-tan'll get worried and send that lackey of his." The Gremory commented as she stood up and dusted herself off.
Ravel stood up but they heard some growling and turned to see some wolves… that were ten feet tall.
Why did devil animals have to be so big?
Ravel sighed, really, Haru just has to venture into the more dangerous part of her family's property.
Just as she was about to wave a wall of fire to scare them off, a small red and black orb the size of a handball shot out and bounced around in the air randomly as it went through all the skulls and hearts of the small pack at blinding speed, killing them all in seconds.
Ravel shivered a bit, this was one of the reasons why Haru was so strong, she had such magical control over her Power of Destruction that it was amazing. If Sirzechs Lucifer, one of the current four Maou's and Haru's older brother used the Power of Destruction like a nuke and destroyed all without a trace and her sister Rias used it like a cannon to do the same, then Haru used hers like a sniper rifle with perfect accuracy and equal speed with a mere thought.
This was her personal form of the famed Bael clan's power, Destruction Lance.
As the glowing ball of demonic power returned to Haru's hand, it dispersed into nothingness.
"Well let's go back to the house, Ravvy, I got my Evil Pieces in my piggy bank… or was it in my sock drawer?" she wondered as she placed a finger on her chin as a question mark floated above her head.
Ravel just face palmed.
Was this really a good idea?
