"The mundane world, why must we spare them?" again asked Finn, he had been the Demon King for over two thousand years, watching as humanity evolves and transitions in to another decade or century, as changes slowly take over. He had watched them with discuss that they should be allowed to live despite the humans branding them as monsters and driving them from the world they had once been so peaceful, even when they the demons had done nothing to begin with. They were just minding their own business and trying to live peacefully, it was the mortals who had turned them into the monsters they had become, erasing their kind nature from history and replacing it with a terrifying imaginative one.

"We were once at peace with them Finn, if we annihilate them as you wish then there will be no chance at bringing them back. Plus some of them still believe in us. As long as there is still believers then we can do nothing" replied the Undertaker watching over the king alongside his brother, the beast and of course the voodoo prince. The four of them together were his inner circle, they kept Balor in check and made sure Finn could control his inner demon. Kane watched his brother carefully especially when his eyes turned white signalling he was once again seeing visions of the future. Finn too must have noticed this as he sat a little straighter in his throne looking towards the one who had officially become known as the necromancer.

"What is it you see my brother?" asked Kane his hair just reaching his shoulders, where as his mask covered most of his face and strikes fear into the hearts of the non believers. Something that had worked well over the centuries, in legends and myth he was Balor's executioner who would strike down all those who were deemed as enemies, which of course wasn't true if it was then the mortals wouldn't be the main population of the mundane world. Kane moved to stand next to his brother, knowing this vision was more powerful than any which had come before. Meaning this vision was likely to be showing several different events.

"Our true enemy will reveal himself, create our downfall he does, seven stones each with the power to combat our powers, a small battle will ensue, there's a stone city with a clear crystal like lake running through it, and a girl" responded The Undertaker, listing some of the things he could clearly see in his vision, although he sounded surprised when he seen the clear vision of a girl as never once had he ever seen a mundane girl in his visions until now. "She has power over Finn, for her he would cease the battle and seek peace with the mundanes" added the Undertaker revealing what the girl could do, his eyes soon went back to their natural colour. When he looked around he seen the looks he was given from those he was in the company of, but what surprised him more was the look of intrigue on the features of the king.

"A girl could stop me, now that is interesting" spoke Finn after processing the information he had just heard. He didn't seem all that phased about the battle or about a man who goes on to create stones which could combat their power. Instead he was intrigued by the mention of a girl, someone who was able to get him to lay down his weapons and try and pursue peace. "She must be special if I'm willing to forget war and look for peace with the mundane world. Who is she?" asked Finn, perceiving she must be someone special if she was able to do that, he just wanted to know more about her. Although he could see Brock was rather worried to learn there was someone out there who could stop him, maybe thinking she was a powerful enchantress from the opposite side who only aimed to destroy him and leave the underworld in disarray.

"I don't know but she does hail from the stone city and appears to have a connection to the man who creates our downfall" replied The Undertaker, revealing he didn't have a name for this mysterious girl, only she had some sort of relation to the man who would be come Finn's mortal enemy and she appeared to come from the city of stone he had seen in his visions. It wasn't long after that each of the four in Finn's company heard him hum to himself like he was amused by what was to come or this unknown yet rather mysterious girl. Each of the four looked to him, knowing whatever he had in mind they would go along with, he was their king after all and they were his close circle on demons, his advisors outside of the Hardy Brothers, thrust they would follow him in whatever adventure or mischief he got himself into.

"Well no point in putting it off, we all know Undertaker's visions are always right and considering Jeff had one similar a few days ago. Might as well go to the city of Shadow-Stone" spoke Finn revealing the name of the city in which The Undertaker had seen in his vision and Jeff had actually had a similar vision to The Undertaker's just days prior. The four looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he was so willing to go to this place, this mundane stone city. The voodoo prince smiled as he followed behind the king much like Brock did, both wondering if it was the girl he was going their to find, just so he knew what she looked like or if he was getting this battle over and done with so he could focus on other things. Like trying to silence Kane's pleas for him to find a queen.

The group soon left the underworld, appearing in the beautiful area outside of the breath taking city. The city seemed to be thriving and the beauty of it made even the five demons appreciate what the mundanes could do. The Gothic like towers of the palace stood high above the houses surrounding it, the gates to the city giving the residence peace of mind and a sense of security, even the small farm lands seemed to being thriving. The five soon began to make their way towards the city, seeing how well everyone appeared to be, each passing them with smiles on their lips, either nodding in recognition to them or saying hello as they went. The Undertaker soon stopped in his tracks, the Voodoo prince noticed and went back to him as the remaining three carried on through the city.

"The girl from my vision" spoke the Undertaker pointing towards a girl with long wavy hair as black as night, brown eyes and pale skin. Her purple dress torn slightly at the bottom and had mud stains on it, the shawl around her shoulders protecting her slightly from the cold air. The kind nature in which she showed when she gave some gold coins to someone asking for help. She appeared to be in her late teens, maybe early twenties. With a smile that could make someone around her smile too. "Must keep an eye on her. If Finn wishes for this to be over soon then she must be around when it happens, since she is the one to stop it" added the Undertaker stopping when he noticed Bray was no longer paying attention but watching something, where the girl was. When the Undertaker turned to see what he was watching he was met with the sight of Finn walking over to the girl, giving her a black rose and some how getting her to laugh, which in turned caused Finn to smile at her. He soon left her to her business returning to the four who were accompanying him.

"Her name is Morgan Devitt, she lives with her aunt and uncle outside of the palace. Her uncle is a knight of the kingdom named Ashton" spoke Finn, revealing the name of the girl although unaware she was the one he would do anything for. It wasn't long after that did they all watch as a man in shiny silver armour come along and pull the girl with him, making her drop the rose Finn had given her and the bracelet in which she had been wearing. Brock picked up the bracelet noticing for the time period it was of high value making the synopsis she was a high class girl. He gave the bracelet to Finn who smiled a little. Placing it around his own wrist so he knew where it was and could return it to her in time.

"I suppose we better find somewhere to stay" spoke Kane knowing Finn wasn't likely to leave until the vision the Undertaker had seen was brought true. Although none of them really new what was going to happen, the only one who did was Jeff Hardy, he was currently in the underworld alongside his own brother. Both of which were using the flames to see what their King and his companions were doing. A handy trick which had come in handy over the years. Jeff had smiled when he and Matt watched as Finn interacted with the girl, thrust setting the events that were set to take place into motion although he felt for the girl as she was destined to pay the price of both the love and the hate.

It wasn't long before the five found a small inn, each one being given their own room as well as food and drink. It had become evidently clear Finn had become fascinated with the small stone town and with the girl in which he had met. She was a rare beauty as Finn had put it, making it clear he had taken a liking to her, something that wouldn't have gone unnoticed by the town's residents. After all they were strangers in this town, people who weren't likely to be trusted so easily. The residents would be weary of them for a while until they were sure they could be trusted.

With Ashton and his family, he had been in a foul mood since returning from his quest with the king. He had the intention of marry his oldest daughter to the prince but had found of recently the prince had taken an interest in his niece Morgan instead. Something he had not planned for. Ashton had been close friends with King Mason for a long time. The two had trained together and basically grew up together, when Mason married his queen Ashton was there as his best man, where as Mason was in attendance when Ashton married his wife Anna, and even became watched as their daughter Myra grew up. Anna had taken her niece Morgan in when her father, Anna's brother had died and her mother was no longer able to care for her. An act in which Morgan's mother was thankful for, as it gave her daughter another chance and spared her from the suffering she was sure to suffer on the streets.

"How could you? What did you do to gain Prince Allen's attention?" shouted Ashton at his niece as soon as he had dragged her through the door, both Myra and Anna appeared from other rooms of their home to see what the commotion was about this time. Anna seen her husband had a tight grip on Morgan's arms, stopping her from retreating, there had been may times the poor girl had been on the receiving end of her husbands wrath. To make matters worse she could hear Morgan whimpering. "What did you do?" once again shouted Ashton throwing Morgan to the ground with a thud, causing the young girl to land awkwardly and belt her head of the wooden table as she went.

"ASHTON" shouted Anna in response coming to the aid of her niece. She knew of her husbands plans for their daughter, but never understood why he was so abusive to their niece, especially when she was so innocent. She knew the girl had done nothing wrong, only being her kind natured self. The only other thing Morgan had done was being the same age as Myra and Prince Allen. "Morgan has done nothing to gain Prince Allen's attention, you know as well as I do, he has always shown affection to her, he and the king like her kind nature towards people. King Mason has often said it reminds him of his late wife and Queen Talia" explaining to her fuming husband their niece had done nothing but remind the king of his late Queen who had passed on a few years earlier, being the victim of the same illness that had killed Morgan's father.

Ashton left the house after that, slamming the wooden door behind him. Morgan herself tried to hold the tears that were threatening to fall back. She had lost count how many tears she had wasted on her cruel uncle or how much pain he had caused her through the beatings she had suffered when he was in a fowl mood or when he blamed her for something she didn't have anything to do with, normally when something he was doing went wrong. There was a knock on the door which surprised the three woman of the house, Anna nodded to Myra while she tended to Morgan. To which Myra nodded and opened the door, seeing a dark hair man stood there, he looked to be in a high status if his clothes were anything to go by.

"Hi, I'm Finn Balor, I was told Morgan Devitt lives here. I have something which belongs to her" spoke Finn introducing himself to the girl at the door, she had sandy brown locks with green eyes, she nodded to Finn before going to fetch Morgan leaving the door open but Finn stood outside in the night air. The moon shinning on him, he smiled when Morgan appeared at the door, appearing to be limping and the smile from earlier gone. He didn't known what happened but knew whatever it was had wiped her heart warming smile from her lips. "You dropped this is the market earlier on today, a kind market owner told me where I could find you so I could return it" spoke Finn holding out the bracelet she had lost in the market earlier to her. Morgan looked at him for a few seconds then to her bracelet, before gently taking it from his hand, the same smile from earlier beginning to reappear.

"Thank you, is there anything I could do in return for you bringing back my bracelet?" asked Morgan, placing the bracelet around her right wrist. Finn watched as she did so, trying to think of something where she could repay him for her returning her bracelet. "You're new here aren't you?" asked Morgan, bringing him out of his trail of thoughts, something he seemed pretty surprised about, his only response was nodding to her question watching as the left side of her lips turned into a half smile. "Thought so, I haven't seen you around here before, everyone knows everyone here" added Morgan revealing she hadn't recognised him when he gave her the flower earlier in the day at the market, she knew everyone there just as everyone knew her. They were a tight knit community who looked out for each other, well at least most of the time they did, neighbours had a habit of turning a blind eye to certain things.

"Well since I'm new to these parts then maybe you would be able to show me and my companions around so we know where we are going" spoke Finn reply to her question earlier on, she smiled slightly and nodded, that smile soon faded being replaced with fear when she seen someone behind him. Finn turned around to see the same knight from earlier in the night and who appeared to be a prince. The Prince smiled at Morgan where as the knight seemed more angry to see the interact between the prince and Morgan. She quickly moved out the way when her uncle barged towards the door, not caring much for her well being or even to the fact there was a visitor at the front door. Morgan merely looked back shivered slightly at the memory of what happened before Finn had arrived.

"Tomorrow in the market, at the fabric stall" spoke Morgan before bidding him good night and closing the door, returning her attention to her family. When she turned around she seen Myra flirting with the prince who didn't seem that comfortable, where as her uncle was happily talking about how the pair were a good match for each other. Her Aunt Anna on the other hand quickly ushered into her room, to tended to her injuries. She was sure the Prince would have noticed the blood dripping from behind her right ear, as she was sure this Finn boy would have as well, she also knew the Prince would ask questions over what caused since he had show affection for Morgan on so many occasion.

"Sir Ashton, I did not come here to go down memory lane nor to flirt with your daughter Myra. I came her to ask you for Morgan's hand in marriage. I wish to make her my queen and wife" spoke Prince Allen after a few uncomfortable minutes of silence. He knew something was wrong almost instantly when Ashton didn't appear happy with what he said, didn't even crack a smile for the news, instead all the laughter disappeared and only the seriousness of the situation was left, both Anna and Morgan had heard the entire conversation so had thrust heard what the prince had said, Morgan looked shocked to say the least, not knowing how to react to such thing. She was not a princess or from any royal line, plus she really didn't see Allen in that way.

"Let me ask you something Prince Allen. What is it you see in my niece that my beautiful daughter doesn't process?" asked Ashton, wondering why Allen had fallen for Morgan rather than Myra, especially when Myra was the one to take notice of him when he was around where as Morgan had made it her personal mission to avoid him, other than when King Mason had sent them on diplomat quest together a few years prior. He knew she was a pretty young woman who was as of yet unmarried but didn't really believe she was the Prince's type, or even suitable for him.

"Morgan has everything a Queen should have, she's fair, kind beautiful, selfless, she cares more for those around her than she does for her own well being. Plus the people already love her. There have been many times I have seen your niece around town helping those on the streets by giving them food or warm clothes. I have even seen her lend a helping hand with the farms on the outskirts on the city" responded Allen, revealing he had watched her as she helped people and noticed how much the people of the city smiled when she was around. "I haven't seen Myra do any of that, I have seen her look in discuss at the homeless, and demand things from others around her, but nothing to say she would be a good queen" added Allen, saying the difference in Morgan and Myra he had seen.

In the bedroom Anna looked at Morgan and smiled, knowing what the prince had said was true, her own daughter had grown up to be like her father, uncaring and could be cruel at times, as well as very demanding where as Morgan her niece had turned out the way her father had wished, kind and helpful, selfless. Anna also knew with the words the prince had spoke would come the torment and suffering for Morgan, as her husband didn't see Morgan as anything, just a burden to his family, something that wasn't true in the slightest. She was the heart and soul of the family. It was then that Anna turned to Morgan, a serious look in her eyes and painted on her features.

"Pack a few things quickly" spoke Anna, well the conversation between the prince and her husband continued, Morgan looked at her confused but did as she was told none the less. She knew her aunt had a reason for asking her to do as she had. "When the prince goes, you know what Ashton will do, go and hide until the morning, show you friend around then come back. I will tell him I sent you on a few errands" whispered Anna, sweeping Morgan over to the window when she had packed the bag with some things and given her a small purse of coins, she helped Morgan out the window and gave her the bag before watching her run into the dimly lit street hoping above all else, her husband wouldn't find her before she returned tomorrow afternoon. She was also all to aware her husband would search for Morgan to get answers of why the Prince had chosen her over Myra despite Allen answering those question for him.
