In the years followed the war between the Five Generals of Hell and the Five Gate Keepers [along with their Guardians], a book was unearthed from the ashes of a forgotten town located far to the north. After many grueling weeks of careful restoration and translation, our scholars were able to identify the book as the Lost and Forgotten Diary of the Keeper of Hell's Fire, Kale Rezma. Though she had sacrificed everything to protect the people of Si'kres, her story would never be told outside of the rare few that she had encountered in her travels. This is her story...

Why am I even doing this? Why is it so important to write one's thoughts in a little book? It's not as if someone is going to look back and reflect upon my actions. However, Mel managed to convince me to keep a journal of sorts... after he threatened to shove a lightning bolt up a certain part of my anatomy. I don't even know what the hell to write in this thing... Guess I might as well as start at the beginning.
My name is Kale, Kale Rezma. I am currently the only human in this whole damn world and apparently I am the Keeper of Hell's Fire. At least that's what the others keep telling me. There are Five of us, including me: a Half demon named Mel, a Dreamer named Sapphire, Evyian is the Elf, Zer the Demon, and I am the Human. I'm also, apparently, the youngest, so the others tend to boss me around. Well, except for Mel. He's the only one that doesn't look down on me since I don't have 'divine blood' or 'spiritual essence.'
I swear there are just some times that I wish that they would all just erupt into flames. I voiced this once to Mel. He told me that I shouldn't think like that since I have Hell's Fire inside of me. If I think thoughts like that long enough, it would consume me until everything did erupt into flames. He also said that he felt the same with his Thunder, sometimes all he wanted to do was zap things until they were nothing but a pile of crispy ashes. "It's the Demon in all of us." he would say with a smile. "It makes us crave to do something evil, even if we try and do good."
I tried asking him what he meant, but he shook his head and changed the subject. I wish he would stop trying to protect me from the truth. Just because I am the youngest, does not mean that I don't have a right to know the meaning to my existence. The only thing I know is that inside of me is Hell's Fire and that I was suppose to protect it, no matter what. Protect it from what? What does the Key open? Why wont they tell me anything? One of these days I'm going to find out what...
