Starlight and Hellfire

Magical Girls battle hellish monsters.

Chapter 1 by CxSeth CxSeth

When the red lightning crackled across the town square and the first Hellbeast touched down, it was chaos. These days, it was routine. Sure, they were still horrifying, dangerous monsters, but after the first few attacks, people knew to clear out when they saw the warning signs and wait for the cavalry to arrive.

Besides, there was something cathartic and uplifting about watching an attractive, super-powered young woman beat a Hellbeast to . These mysterious monster-battling heroines became celebrities in their own right, and were even recognized by the city as “Deputized Champions,” a title which allowed them to fight fully without fear of legal repercussion or investigation. “A necessary good,” The mayor said, “To fight an unfortunate evil.”

Behind every good hero, though, is an enigmatic demon. The powers each woman used to defend her home city and its citizens were only granted as part of a demonic pact with an extradimensional demon, whose support came at the cost of a mild possession. The voice of a Champion’s patron demon is ever in the back of her mind, urging them towards vice even as it leads them to victory. The public is unaware of the demonic nature of their Champions, seeing only the colorful, heroic young women they’ve come to adore.

But there’s always more to see than meets the eye. So begins our tale of Starlight and Hellfire…
