Long ago, way before the Current Era, there were Four Dukedoms, all but one Pagan. The four Dukedoms were known as, Halpin, Newport, Astati, and Quinn. Though Halpin had issues with the Pagans because they were strictly Christian, war or conflict never broke out, virtually ever. A few petty arguments here, a few territory disputes there, nothing much.
I am the first born son of Xerxes Quinn, our Duke, thus making me heir to the throne, but I was fifteen, I hadn't even dreampt of the day I would be duke. I have two siblings, we're actually triplets, there's Ren Apache Quinn, he's my younger brother, and Katsy Natalia Quinn, our younger sister. Ren, Katsy and I always got along pretty well, we looked after eachother, and for the most part stayed out of trouble.
When we had hit Thirteen, dad had sent us three to the prestigious Quinn Academy. Anyone in Quinn territory was allowed to go, as long as they were invited. Being Royal, there were no questions asked, we were accepted immediately.
Quinn Academy was built like a castle, so many rooms, so many classrooms, a gargantuan library, dueling grounds, a rose garden, and many other various things. In the first year at Quinn, our Professor had told us three that since we were Royal Pagan Bloodline, we natrually had Espirítu Energía, the essence of Gods, our Magik power. The Professor had told us, so long as we learned our Magik, we would have no issue getting by, and at our level of knowledge and power, we had no issue. Ren, Katsy, and I all had graduated first year top honors and ranks, along with another girl.
Neah Lotti Scarlatina, a Neko, as we called her. She was human but had two feline atributes, a jet black tail, and cat ears. Neah was close to Katsy, they actually shared dorms with Ren and I, so natrually she was closer to us as well.
Neah, though small, standing at only four foot eleven, had long raven black hair, and a very beautiful face, and most of all, we had grown exceptionally close. We'd spend most after hours together, we would train together, and though against the rules, would sleep together.
Neah and I were soon noticed as a couple, we were always paired in things, we always studied together, and never were seen not together.
Around my third year, my inner prowess was awakening, what that meant? Well, I had contact with my actual source of power. Some may call it chi or chakara no it's actually called our Emblem.
My Professor was confused when he saw mine, and frankly he was frightened. He pulled me asside one day: "Glen, listen. Your inner prowess is one not seen in millions of years, the God who claimed you, not even sure if he is a God or just a Demon, he's known as Creation and Chaos, or as we know him in Book Of The Black, The Nameless One. His power alone can destroy el Mundo del Vida. You have to promise that you don't let his influence get under your skin, he will make your soul deteriorate and decend you into Madness."
I had said: "Yes, Sensei" and had bowed, walking out.
I myself have always been confused in the process of how gods chose their hosts.
A year had gone by, and the power of The Nameless One had started to take control of me, I had fallen into madness, and i couldn't stop it.
Neah started to distence herself from me, same with Ren and Katsy. My Espada was created, me naming it el Demonio Murciélago, and it's power was unparalleled.

At the end of my senior year, my butler had come to visit telling me of terrible news. My father Duke Xerxes had been mortally wounded, he was struck by an assassin under the command of Duke Halpin.
Katsy, Ren and I had been rushed back to home, only to see everyone had died, they were murdered by the Catholic Crusades.
Butler had rushed us towards a dark hallway and down a flight of stairs to an obsidian gate, and said: "through that gate is your safety, goodbye children, avenge us!"
And with that we were swallowed whole by that darkness behind the gate.
