The sound of the crowds roar echoed through Vincent's ears. Xan, his demon ran over to him, he stood next to his tamer and said “Master, we have done it.” Vincent stood there, the thought that he was now champion hadn't hit him yet. It wasn't until he saw his name up on the screen above him that he realized he had done it. Days passed and the Tamer League was over, Vincent was brought into Northern Wind's lab. His newly created demon was floating in a tube filled with water, the demon was strapped to dozens of wires and an oxygen tank. The scientist walked around studying it, that was when he walked in Alexander Phoenix, the man who started it all. He walked like a man who had it all would, he was one of the world's most famous men. He walked over to Vincent, placed his hand on his shoulder, and said “so, what do you think? Did I get it right?” He looked at the demon, it looked similar to a werewolf however it had nine tails that all swayed through the water. It had an aura about it that just made it seem powerful, this demon was clearly of champion level one could see it with a single glance.

One of the scientist walked over the Alexander and said in a hushed tone “Sir, it is time for the surgery.” He nodded and then Alexander escorted Vincent out of the lab, the tube the demon was floating in slowly began to drain. They then opened the glass door of the tube and began transferring the demon over to the table that was no more than ten feet away. Suddenly the demon opened its eyes and began flailing around trying to escape the grasp of the scientist this was unusual most demons didn't wake up during this process. One of them grabbed a needle to try and sedate it, but the demon broke free and ran toward the window. Guards rushed through the door and began firing, a stray bullet grazed the demon and it crashed through the window. It touched down on the ground, leaving cracks in the ground from the force of the fall. It looked at its wound and then ran off, the guards looked at each other and then at Alexander. He sighed and said “don't just stand here go after it, that demon hasn't been taught not to attack humans, it could kill someone.” The guards rushed out of the lab and chased after the demon.

The demon ran through crowds of people, no one was disturbed by it seeing as they had all seen demons before. The demon managed to make its way to the lower class side of Star city, it was filled with apartment buildings and generic stores. The demon hid in the back alley by the train station, it hid behind a dumpster and curled up in a ball. It was dark so the only visible part of the demon was his light silver eyes. The demon stared at the people that walked passed, none of them even knowing he was back there. Riven made her way down the stairs of the train station, she was on her way home from work. She worked at her best friend's restaurant, it was a small Italian restaurant. It had a few problems with crime, but it was a good place to work and was quite popular so Riven knew she would at least get to keep her job for a while. As she made her way down the street she noticed blood on the sidewalk, she looked and a trail of it lead into the alley. She saw silver eyes staring at her, she started to walk away when those eyes started to get closer. She then started to run, but before she could get away the demon jumped on her and pulled her into the alley. Riven watched as the Shinai, she had on her back dropped to the ground. She pulled herself away from the demon and rolled toward the Shinai, she picked it up and smacked the oncoming demon in the face. The bamboo sword was swung with so much force it broke against the demon's face. She dropped the Shinai and began to run when a human male hand grabbed her wrist. She turned to punch the person touching her, but when she saw how blood he was she stopped herself. He barely got out the words “help me” before passing out on the cold ground.

Riven sighed, the demon had just tried to attack her, but she couldn't leave him like that. She slowly propped him up on the wall, the light from the street lights and billboards allowed her to see him clearly. His silver eyes hidden behind his closed eyelids, from the angle she was looking at him he was actually slightly attractive, even though he did try and kill her. She took her hoodie off and put it on his shirtless body, she looked down and luckily he was wearing pants, ripped pants, but they were better than nothing. She stood there trying to figure out how she was going to move him, this demon was bigger than her and looked like he was heavier. She shook her head and then grabbed his arms and began pulling him. Her apartment was only a few blocks away, when she finally reached the building she unlocked the door and dragged him up the stairs. She got to her door and swung the door open, she looked at her younger brother,Johnathon, who was on the coach and said “want to give me a hand with this.” He walked over to her and looked at what he thought was a dead man and said “you finally did it, you killed a guy and now you want me to cover it up for you.” She sighed and said “shut up and help me put him in your room.” He looked at her and said “I don't want a dead guy in my room.” She quickly yelled “he isn't dead and he isn't going in my room!” Johnathon sighed and helped her drag the demon into his room, Riven began wiped the blood off of the demon and then threw a blanket over him. Johnathon looked at her and said “ you know mom is going to kill you right?” Riven smiled and said “Well, we will cross that bridge when we get there.”

Riven sunk down on the coach and sighed, Johnathon placed his hand on her shoulder and said “Promise me that the next time you almost kill someone you don't bring them home.” She stared at him for a second with an agitated look on her face. He then smiled showing his shiny braces. The two then sat there watching the TV. Suddenly the demon came out of Johnston's room, he slowly approached the coach his silver eyes on Riven. He wrapped his arms around her neck and Riven reacted by jumping up and flipping hi, over using the moves she learned in her judo class. The demon landed on the floor in front of Riven's feet, he looked up at her and said “I just wanted to say,thank you.” Riven gasped and said “Oh, I'm sorry.” Riven helped the demon up and said “why did you attack me earlier, I thought demons couldn't attack people.” He looked at her confused and said “I wasn't trying to attack you, I just wanted help.” Riven shook her head, she smiled and said “well you have a interesting way of asking for help.” The demon smiled, his silver eyes now shining, Riven then said “so, what is your name?” The demon shrugged and looked around as if he was slightly confused. Riven thought for a second and then said “your name should be Silver.” It was clear she was basing his name off of the shining silver eyes the demon had. The demon smiled and said “That sounds like a great name.” Johnathon rolled his eyes showing that he didn't agree, but Riven didn't care. Johnathon then looked at Riven and said “how are you going to explain to mom that we now have a demon in the house?” Riven shook her head and said “I wont?” Johnathon laughed and said “yea, I'm sure she wont notice the six foot, silver eyed man walking around.”
