They say a winged beast screeches through the night sky.
No one has ever truly seen it—but all have heard it.
When you hear that scream above, hide your children… for the winged beast comes to take them away.
It moves too fast to be seen. But after its cries vanish into the distance, somewhere… a mother cries for her missing child.
Villages say the creature burns crops for sport. Flattens homes for fun. Leaves ruin and terror in its wake. But its most horrific act…
It feasts on children.
Many gave it names—but only one stuck: Nachtschrei.
It means "night scream."
Nacht's brothers—the demons of Hell—soon learned the name the humans had given him. They abandoned his true name and began calling him Nachtschrei too.
He hated it.
The sound humans feared came from the holes in his massive wings as he tore through the skies. And the name mocked him for it.
Out of shame, Nacht began hiding his wings even from his brothers.
One day, Lucifer summoned his kin and gave a command.
"There exists a crystal with a radiance brighter than the sun. Its shards are scattered across the universe.
You are to find them—so we may free the Master from his prison."
And so, Nacht left Hell along with their youngest brother,Legion.
He disappeared for years, scouring distant dimensions, while Lucifer—bound to the Master's pain—suffered in waiting.
Nacht, due to his cursed similarity to the Zodiacs, could open portals between dimensions.
He searched endlessly for shards of the crystal—and for the Zodiacs, whom he was warned might stand in his way.
Nothing.
Until fate guided him to opening portal leading to Nalvakar—home of the Zodiac twins: Gem and Mini.Gemini was two beings who functioned as one.
The twins immediately sensed the overwhelming difference in power.
Something ancient… monstrous… had invaded their sacred realm.
What Nacht didn't know was that they, too, were on the same mission—and they were ahead.
The twins had already gathered several crystal shards.
"Finally," Nacht grinned, hovering over the sacred grounds. "Some worthy opponents. Those humans barely lasted a second."
Gem stood in front of his sister.
"Take the crystals and run, Mini. We can't let him have them."
Mini hesitated.
"Now!" he shouted.
She turned and ran. Behind her, she heard her brother casting one last spell—
Then came the wet crunch.
Blood splattered.
She turned—just in time to see Gem's severed head slam into her face.
She screamed and collapsed. Blood poured from her nose, her mouth, her tears.
Nacht approached calmly. He lifted her by the nape and pummeled her into the ground—again and again—until she was barely breathing.
Then he stopped.
"You're all...weak," he muttered in disappointment.
"If you want revenge, come find me when you've grown stronger."
He knelt beside her and plucked the crystal shards from her pouch.
"I'll be taking these… and his head."
He let out a twisted laugh—and disappeared.
The King's brother had returned to Hell.
And he wasn't empty-handed.
