Seeing herself as a monster

Sword "Lumen" (Lumen, "Light of Dawn")

Origin

A legendary blade forged by the first archangel blacksmith before the advent of humans.

According to ancient legends, this sword was created not for killing, but to protect the world from the creatures of the Abyss.

After the Great War of Light and Darkness, the blade disappeared for nearly a thousand years.

Until one day he ended up in the hands of Elias.

⸻

Appearance

A long, bastard sword with a silvery-white blade.

Along the entire length of the blade are barely visible golden runes that begin to glow when a demonic force appears nearby.

The guard is shaped like outstretched angel wings, and the pommel is decorated with a transparent crystal, inside which a small star seems to shimmer.

The scabbard is made of black leather with silver trim.

⸻

Capabilities

*Hurts demons regardless of their rank.

• Can cut through magical barriers and curses. *The blade's light weakens the dark magic around it.
• It chooses its owner - no one except Elias can lift it. If the owner fights to protect another person, the sword's power increases many times over.

The Last Luminar

Elias is not an ordinary person.

He belongs to the vanished race of Luminars - ancient beings born from the First Light before the appearance of angels, demons, and humans.

The Luminaries were never angels or gods.

Their task was to maintain balance between Light and Darkness.

When the Great War began, the Luminars refused to take sides.

For this they were destroyed.

Everyone believed that the family had completely disappeared.

Except one.

⸻

True form

Elias usually looks like an ordinary person.

But with the full awakening of his essence:

*eyes become golden, like a molten sun;

• hair slowly lightens to a silvery white color; *glowing golden runes appear on the skin;
• six huge wings of light, woven not from feathers, but from pure energy, open behind the back; *the voice begins to sound in several tones at once.

He does not radiate fear.

Only an inexplicable feeling of peace.

⸻

Abilities

• cleanses curses with one touch; *does not age;
• is able to see the true essence of any creature; *almost invulnerable to demonic magic;
• can create light blades and barriers; able to heal mortal wounds at the cost of his own life force. Why did he live like a human being?

After the death of his people, the last guardian of the Luminaries sealed Elias's power.

He grew up among ordinary people, not even suspecting who he was.

Only his meeting with Luciana began to gradually awaken his true nature.

⸻

Why are demons afraid of him?

The Luminars are the only race capable of finally destroying an immortal demon.

Do not banish.

Do not seal.

And erase his very existence.

That is why, having learned the true nature of Elias, Azrael understands that before him is not just a mortal, but a creature that Hell has feared since the Great War.

⸻

Connection with Luciana

There is an ancient prophecy:

"When the Last Light loves the Last Daughter of Darkness, the world will no longer belong to either Heaven or Hell."

That is why their love is forbidden.

He is convinced that the man is not worthy of even looking at Luciana.

And he is ready to destroy it in order to return the bride back to Hell.

Biography

Luciana was born into one of the most ancient demonic dynasties.

As the daughter of a powerful Duke of Hell, she had heard only one thing since childhood:

That her beauty is a weapon.

That her face should make mortals bow down.

That love can only be obtained through fear.

But Luciana never wanted to inspire terror.

Vice versa.

She dreamed of being an ordinary girl.

Due to constant pressure from her family, she gradually began to hate her own appearance.

Every night she came to the waterfall, hoping to one day see someone else in the reflection.

Since childhood, I have heard legends about a beautiful devil who kills every person who dares to approach the waterfall.

That day his life changed forever.
