The First Lesson of a New Demon
The day that he was born anew
And pain was driven from his heart
And troubles lifted from his mind
A new hunger in him did start.
At first it seemed a simple thing
That he could simply set aside
But soon he just could not ignore
The hunger fierce that grew inside
But not alone, the demon child
A guardian to guide his way
A long time friend, and butler mild
"Your first hunt comes upon this day."
"To feed upon the human soul
A contract must first come to be
Obedient to this you'll stay
Until completed flawlessly."
"But how shall I the contract make
When none have heard of demon me
And all my friends believe me dead
In Heaven for eternity?"
"Turn now your ear to mortal pain
And hear their tears fall to the ground
Then choose the one whose grief is great
Whose pain and need are most profound."
"Then soul with no hope placed within
Shall make pact with a demon new
And serve a master good or bad
I shall endeavor just like you."
"Then let us go and find that soul
And make contract that you might dine
And may luck bring you a master
Who is as good to you as mine."
