Prologue.
Once upon a time, there was an evil sorcerer in a faraway village. The man was never remembered or known by anybody; his name was Mathew. One day it was raining in our faraway village, and Mathew had no place to go. He looked from cottage to cottage, all had their lights out; except the castle. He looked up in the pouring rain, unable to stand it any longer he walked towards that castle.
He knocked on the door and a very handsome prince answered, "Hello dear sir," the sorcerer greeted him. "I wish to stay here for a night eh? I don't have much to offer in return but a bottle of Maple Syrup." He told the prince.
The prince shook his head, "I'm sorry sir, but who are you?" he asked.
The sorcerer shook with rage, "I'm sick and tired of everyone forgetting my name and who I am! You and the rest of this village will pay; I plague thee village with demons of the worst kind! Enjoy your trip to Hell!" he shouted at the prince and stormed away.
The prince stared out the doorway in confusion, he turned towards his brother sitting in the living room, "Who was that?" he asked him.
Chapter 1.
A dozen dark clouds completely covered the sun and plunged the village into darkness. Arthur looked up at the sky, "It looks like rain….. Hmm..." he shook his head and continued to ride his horse through the woods. A strong wind blew through the area. A dark shape materialized at the gates of the prince's castle. A pair of purple eyes opened from the shape.
"Toris," it spoke, "Edward, Raivis, where are you three?" it asked. Three other dark shapes materialized next to the purple-eyed demon.
The green-eyed demon nodded, "We're all here Ivan," he confirmed. The purple-eyed demon, Ivan, nodded, "We were summoned here to wreck havoc on this village," he looked at the castle, "This is where we will obtain our bodies." He stated.
The green-eyed demon, Toris, nodded; "of course Master Ivan!" the demons walked through the gates and gazed into the front window of the castle.
The crystal-eyed demon pointed to a tall boy in the living room, "that must be the prince that Mathew was talking about," he thought aloud.
Ivan nodded, "fits the description, Edward…" he agreed. "Mathew said the prince's brother would have two of his friends over this day. Edward, Raivis, find them. Toris and I will take the brothers," he concluded. The three demons nodded and Ivan walked through the wall.
The prince was calmly sitting on the couch and he looked up suddenly at Ivan, "What're you-?" he swiftly stood up and his brother ran up the stairs quickly.
"Toris, Edward, Raivis, get them." Ivan ordered. The three demons behind him sprouted wings from their back and flew up a floor. The prince backed towards the wall.
"Wha-What are you doing here?" his hands shook violently as Ivan advanced on the defenseless prince.
"You seemed to have pissed off my Master, Mathew. He summoned me and my servants to wreak havoc to your village." Ivan explained.
A bout of screaming was heard from the upstairs portion of the house. "What are you doing to my friends?" the prince demanded.
"We have to weaken you up before we take over your bodies don't we? You'd fight back too much if we didn't." Ivan wrapped his fingers around the prince's neck and long black fingernails pierced his skin. The prince gasped and grabbed Ivan's wrists.
"L-let go…." He pleaded. Ivan smiled and shook his head.
"I'm sorry dear prince, but that is not possible." A pair of wings sprouted from Ivan's back and he flew a few feet in the air, still holding onto the prince's neck. "This will only hurt a lot." Ivan smirked. He threw the prince into the wall and onto the floor. Ivan floated back down to the ground and watched the prince writhe in agony.
A smallish man with shoulder-length chestnut hair strolled down the stairs with a small wound on his cheek. "Ivan…. We're all done, what about you?" he stared at the prince and at Ivan, "I guess not." He backed away and bumped into a smaller boy with short blonde hair. "Waah! Raivis! Watch where you're standing!" he yelled at the boy.
Ivan rolled his purple eyes, "you're all helpless," he looked down at the bleeding prince and kneeled beside him. "You're mine now, prince." He mumbled and put his hand on the prince's chest. Ivan disappeared and the prince's hair lightened to silvery blonde and his eyes shifted from green, to black, to purple. He sat up and brushed off his shoulders, "Where is Edward?" he asked the two quarreling demons.
Toris looked at Ivan, "oh, you got the prince… Uhh, he was having a little trouble with his guy." He explained.
"Look out below!" a voice yelled from the landing upstairs. Suddenly a body fell from the sky and Edward flew down to it. "Sorry, he was being stubborn." He explained to Ivan and the others.
Ivan stood up and walked over to the newly-bodied Edward, "Did you kill him?" Ivan asked as Edward stood up.
"I don't think so…" he tested out the arms and legs and brushed off his legs, "This freak wears glasses though." He scowled at the broken lenses resting on the bridge of his nose.
Suddenly, a knock on the door startled the four demons. Ivan swiftly walked to the doors and swung them open. "Yes?" he asked the stranger.
Arthur Kirkland stood there with his horse waiting outside the gates, "Your Majesty," he bowed. "I heard screaming so I was a bit concerned. A thousand pardons." He explained.
Ivan looked at him in confusion and glared at the three demons behind him. "It's alright, my little brother just saw a mouse and he freaked." Ivan assured.
Arthur looked up curiously from his bow and stood up straight, he tilted his head and glanced curiously at the prince. "Uhh, Your Majesty, you have a wound on the side of your head. Are you alright?" Arthur glanced at Ivan's eyes and he shook, "You're not the prince." He started backing away.
Ivan glared at him. "Toris, Raivis. Grab him!" he commanded. Toris and Raivis ran past Ivan and grabbed the frightened Arthur before he could run. Toris pinched a pressure point in the man's shoulder and Arthur passed out. "Good, take him to the dungeons." Ivan ordered. "He'll die there and never speak a word of this, or anything." He chuckled darkly and shut the doors.
