Chapter 1 - Forever a beast...
Once upon a time, there was a young handsome prince that lived in a beautiful castle. The prince was Kai Hiwatari. He got what ever he wished for in mer seconds of asking for it, if he did not get what he asked then there will be punishment to give of.
The prince lived and easy going life, he grew up with greed, he showed no emotion when his parents past. But he needed a wife to become king, therefore he asked for the most beautiful in the land to come, though none seemed to satisfy the prince.
Months past since his parents death and it was the eve of Christmas day and in a matter of weeks he will become 20 years old. During this Christmas event he wanted everything as usual, his excuse was, he wanted them to show their love for their highness.
It was now past midnight on Christmas eve, making it Christmas day. The prince insisted on getting his presents, but before he could open one of the presents, a loud knock was heard at the door. It was loud but the Prince ignored it, he had just opened his first present, a large and beautiful fiery red bird, which he immediately named Dranzer.
The knocking got louder and the prince was getting angry at the fact that his Christmas was being interrupted, he pushed past his savants that had moved to open the door aside, and flung the door open violently.
There stood an old hump-backed and wizened woman, in the snow, to the prince she was disgusting. The woman lifted one eye up toward his face, and, slowly bringing her aged hands up, asking the prince for help
" Young Prince Hiwatari, I am in dire need of shelter from this bitter cold, and all I have to offer in return of some shelter is a single red rose. "
the prince sneered at the old woman, repulsed even more by her deformed and shrivelled look.
" How dare you approach my castle! How dare you interrupt my Christmas!" he spat out coldly towards the woman.
"Please, Prince…your highness, please accept this rose, and let me stay, even if it is only in the stables...that will do for me" the old woman continued to plead.
"No! Get away from my castle, leave me in peace, you old hag! Or I will send you to the dungeons" the prince gave her a ice cold glare before turning back towards his castle.
But the prince hadn't even taken one step back into his castle. A blinding light filled the door, blocking out his surroundings almost blinding him.
"So, the rumors are true my dear prince. That you would turn even the most unfortunate of your kind out to a stormy night such as this. You are not loved, most vain and un-honourable I have ever met. There is nothing in your heart but hate and greed. But I must admit all humans do have the chance to change..."
The voice now surrounding the prince was pure and high, laced with power. Turning his eyes toward the light, this had caused him to squint, he looked upon a tall, beautiful and regal looking woman. Her eyes bored straight through him, into his soul. This was the same creature that had asked for shelter from the storm, but now she was a beauty none the less.
"Please, if I had known..." the prince started to beg but was cut off.
"Known! Known what? That I have this power, and that I was beautiful? That I could crush you where you stand? That I could easily take you life?" she spat at him like he had done to her before.
"Please! I apologise! Come inside and…" the prince trailed off at the unchanging look upon her face.
"And what? You'd dazzle me with your wealth or your material possessions! I am not interested in anything like that young prince, I want personal penance." she stated purposely.
"Personal penance…? No! What do you want from me!" the prince panicked.
"Your penance is your humanity. Until you change, until you learn to let love and kindness into your heart, and for you to show that same love and kindness, your humanity will never be returned to you. You will spend your days as a fearful beast, with your subjects beside you, they will suffer the same fate, for not standing up to you." she intoned calmly.
"No! You can't! "
"Yes, young prince, I can. However, I can give you some help, and some warning. It is very possible for you to change, for you to break this curse and regain you humanity. But, this opportunity is only open for a short time. You have until this red rose that I offer you dies on you 21st birthday it will completely withered, you have until then to break the curse. If you have not learned to love by then, you will forever remain a beast..."
Her voice faded as did the light around him did. The woman had gone.
The prince gave a sudden scream of pain as he felt his body rearrange itself. His shape contorted, his limbs lengthening, sprouting fur. He grew fangs, and horns, and claws. Lost in his own transformation, he didn't notice his subjects in the same state, changing into their own accursed shapes. He stumbled through the door as the white stone darkened, as his beautiful castle changed into a hideous mockery.
His roar of anguish and anger and pain echoed around the whole land and forest. He was now a beast
