Dark To Demnix
A New Beginning
Not always the chaotic beast she is now, Demnix was once an arctic wolf known as Dark. Originating in the South Pole, Dark was a lone wolf with a hunger for adventure and knowledge. It was this hunger, that lead her across the harsh waters of Atlantis to the Last Cave, where she spent the rest of her -- short -- life. Being in the cave, her senses and even fur changed to better fit her habitat. Her fur grew to be more of an ashen hue, her vision growing better in the dark than in the light. It was here, in the Last Cave, that Dark met a fallen angel known as Praeteritus, who later became her closest friend and companion. They adventured together, looked out for each other, and protected one another. Ultimately, they were inseparable.
One day, however, Dark's adventures brought a great danger into the duo's lives: The Death Children. An army of immortal hounds, they held many secrets... and Dark had witnessed one of them. She had stumbled upon the group and witnessed their turning ceremony. The Death Children later hunted Dark down, with full intentions of killing her to keep their secrets unknown. Duivil, the army's ruler, gained a great amount of interest in the duo, though, and decided to mark Dark as his servant-pet, allowing Praeteritus to stay at her side so long as he caused no trouble and revealed none of their secrets."I would stay away from them, they would rip you limb from limb with joy."

Years later, just as Dark were reaching her teen years as a young cave-wolf, Duivil came to the decision that it were time to bring her into his militant ranks. Dark was given two choices: to join his army, or go on the run and into hiding, where his army would hunt her and Praeteritus down and slaughter them. Despite Praeteritus' great amount of disapproval in the idea, Dark agreed to go through with the turning ritual and become a Death Child herself.. assuring Praeteritus it would be alright, and they would have many more adventures together in the future.
This, however, was cut very short, as Dark was apparently too weak to make it through the ritual. Her life ended in supposed tragedy when, during the ritual, she lost lost her life. Duivil and his army were left to bring the news to a broken-spirited Praeteritus, before venturing off to leave Praeteritus to his coping... and Dark to rest in eternal slumber. There would be no witness to what was to come.
There would be no witness, that is, to Dark's revival. Something none would have imagined to happen, Dark later revived as what one might call to be a incomplete Death Child...This is where the story
