## History

### Background

Spinel is a type of low ranking Oni, which is able to create red crystals.

She is watched over by her close confidant Lapis, both had become slaves to a mercenary group but, considered useless as their magic could not create stable gems. Because they both had still considerable strength and tactical abilities, they were kept alive and made to do grunt work, as part of the mercenary group. Their captain, was a powerful demon, but considered a tyrant and hated. Uniting, their forces with most of the low ranking demons, and some mid and high ranking once, they began a plan to overpower him. Spinel and Lapis, used a powerful poison, which over time weakened the leader. They waited for him to get drunk, and stabbed him with multiple of their man. Regardless, their captain was too strong and easily shook off this attack. While Lapis suggested a retreat, Spinel instead pushed onward, and almost killed the captain before he used a teleportation spell with a random location, that turned out to be the Human World.

Spinel was temporary given command but, it was expected that she would need to kill the captain before her troop would accept the new status quo. Lapis assisted her in this task to find the captain.

As he destroyed an entire group of Taimanin, he found Kannazuki Sora and Igawa Sakuya. Willing, to keep Sakuya as a pet or eat them, this moment of stress, awoke Sora's Ninja Art and she killed the still weakened demon.

As Lapis and Spinel, learned of this situation, and the fact they could no longer be credited for the kill, Spinel made the decision to hunt down Sora, to keep the troop in line. However, some elements of the story seem still uncertain.
