Div-e Sepid
In the Persian epic of Shahnameh Div-e Sepid, or Div-e Sefid, (lit. White Demon) is the chieftain of the Divs (demons) of Mazandaran. He is a huge being. He possesses great physical strength and is skilled in sorcery and necromancy. He destroys the army of Kay Kavus by conjuring a dark storm of hail, boulders, and tree trunks using his magical skills. He then captures Kay Kavus, his commanders, and paladins; blinds them, and imprisons them in a dungeon. The greatest Persian mythical hero Rostam undertakes his "Seven Labors" to free his sovereign. At the end, Rostam slays Div-e Sefid and uses his heart and blood to cure the blindness of the king and the captured Persian heroes. Rostam also takes the Div's head as a helmet and is often pictured wearing it.

It is written by the Royal Central Asian Society in the Journal of the Royal Central Asian Society that the struggle between Rustam and the white demon represents a struggle between Persians and invaders from the north, from the Caspian provinces.

Age of the Five
Age of the Five is a trilogy of fantasy novels by Trudi Canavan, an Australian writer born in 1969. The fictional series recounts the story of Auraya, a young priestess who, after rising to the highest rank in her world's religious hierarchy, subsequently discovers that the gods she worships are significantly different entities from those in whom she was originally taught to believe.
Plot synopsis
Age of the Five is set in a universe overseen by a pantheon of five gods (the Five) who are the only apparent survivors of the War of the Gods. Before this war, it is understood that hundreds of gods existed on Earth. The Five control the destiny of the northern half of the world through a priesthood known as the White (the Five's five representatives in the human world, Ithania). In southern Ithania live opponents of the White, who claim to worship five different gods (known as the Voices of the Gods). Both factions vie for control over their opponents, and eventually engage in war.

We finally at the end of it all what do I see
The Demon standing before me the end of the story
How horrifying does he look I don't know he wears a cloak
With wings out his back and his breath is black smoke
I can't see his face and he stays so still
No movement you'd lose it if you knew how it feels
To stare at evil and know that evils' starin' back
Next thing I know he gripped my soul and before I could react
I saw everything he did from eating up little kids
To burning churchs and despersing hurt to all the earth
And the worst of it all he raped the virgins as they bleed
He planted his seed he brought innocence to his knees
Blood ran through the seas and the rivers of the world
Plague everyday when he placed you get world
Into a vortex of death when he crawls on your chest
Distress and fess everything until nothing is left
It's the (Demon(echo))
It's the Demon(echo)
[CHORUS]
The Demon takes control of me and I must fight him for my soul
The Demon has control of me and he won't let go of my soul
Were finally at the end of it all what do I see
The Demon standing before me and melting gotta grip my A-X-E
How to describe the Demon alive before my eyes he painted my soul
Look at the light up in the sky he'll make you fly, fallen angel
That's what he is wit the axe I'm goin' get this wicked temple back to hell
Got it in my mind that I'm gonna be fine won't let my mind fall under his spell
Little did I know that I'm under control the Demon has a hold of me
And like a window into his mind his evilness is all I see
I saw he just takes somebodys life and burns it down
By bringing fire from the sky and water from the ground
I saw him eating babies and I saw him killing mothers
And I watched him make us crazy then we all turned on each other
Then we shot, cursed, and killed our brothers and our loved ones
Until everyone is dead and all that is left is no one
And we shot, cursed, and killed our brothers and our loved ones
Until everyone is dead and all that is left is no one
It's the Demon(echo)
It's the Demon(echo)
[CHORUS]
The Demon takes control of me and I must fight him for my soul
The Demon has control of me and he won't let go of my soul
Then we had the motivation to do what we came to do
Kill the Demon have him screamin' for the whole world to pay amige to
I took a step forward and he screamed like a baby goat
Bodys cold the Demon reached and pulled off his cloak
And then I saw his flesh and it was drippin' with flames
Hes naked and shaken with dragon scales and veins
That bleed green gasoline his wings turned into fire
And his body was buzzing with such a hateful desire
To kill us both
So we gotta hit em gotta get em reunited with his father, the Devil
I never thought it would end up this way
The people we saved they will all know these war angels we took control
And then gripped our axe, steady and fast then let the attack
We swung our axes on the Demon and blood fell to the ground
And he realized the Profits had been found
We cut the head off the Demon and fire came out his neck
And it burned the whole Unforgiven Forest down
We cut the head off the Demon and fire came out his neck
And it burned the whole Unforgiven Forest down
We cut the head off the Demon and fire came out his neck
And it burned the whole Unforgiven Forest down
[CHORUS]
The Demon takes control of me and I must fight him for my soul
The Demon has control of me and he won't let go of my soul
We cut the head off the Demon and fire came out his neck
And it burned the whole Unforgiven Forest down
We cut the head off the Demon and fire came out his neck
And it burned the whole Unforgiven Forest down
We cut the head off the Demon and fire came out his neck
And it burned the whole Unforgiven Forest down
We cut the head off the Demon and fire came out his neck
And it burned the whole Unforgiven Forest down
[CHORUS]
The Demon takes control of me and I must fight him for my soul
The Demon has control of me and he won't let go of my soul
We cut the head off the Demon and fire came out his neck
And it burned the whole Unforgiven Forest down
We cut the head off the Demon and (Angels come take me away)
And it burned the whole (Angels come take me away)
We cut the head off the Demon and (Angels come take me away)
