Once upon a time, on the borders of France and Germany resided a small kingdom of Mitras. The king and queen of the small kingdom were known for their kindness and charity, for the queen had lived as a prostitute in the underground below her new throne. The soon to be king at the time had secretly gone to the underground to see what problems he would have to address once he became king and spotted her. He was enamored with her beauty and saw how kind she was to the people below. He soon fell in love with her charitable and kind spirit. Despite the warnings of his advisors, he asked for her hand in marriage. The new queen bore 3 beautiful children with him, two boys and one girl who shared the families signature ebony locks. The queen, overjoyed and hoping to spread her glee built a public garden around the castle, to signify new beginnings for the entire kingdom to enjoy.
For years the couple and their children were happy, the kingdom was becoming richer and it's residents were as well. However, the richest of the noblemen were not happy with this plan, for the king and queen imposed new taxes to help bring the poor out of poverty. The queen's brother met them in secret and offered a solution to the few who opposed the king and queen, an evil plan that would change their lives forever. On the cusp of the two princes 8th birthday, the king and queen had gone to the underground to help with rebuilding and on their way back, were murdered.
The queen's brother, Kenny, preached to the public that it was the fault of the underground and the people who lived there. A great divide was created among the classes until it became an outright civil war. Kenny took the throne as the king had no siblings to take it in his stead. With the responsibility of the throne, he raised the taxes of the poor and lowered that of his friends. Anyone who spoke against the new throne was quickly killed for all the kingdom to see.
The children were soon spoiled and taught by their uncle, corrupting them and molding their young minds to be like his. They were cruel and selfish, uncaring of anyone besides themselves. Just like their uncle. He often pitted them against one another, enjoying the drama that ensued as they fought verbally and physically with one another. He taught them to think lowly of both betas and omegas. To the cruel king, omegas were mere toys, a means to gain pleasure and worth little to nothing else except for their ability to breed.
The kingdom of Mitras was the place of nightmares for those who were not close friends of the king. Their population began to plummet, the death rate higher than anyone could give birth. This news troubled the king, so Kenny brought about the Societal Resources Restoration Law. This law forced all newly presented omegas to give themselves to the country and become concubines for the elite Alphas of the country. To the king, omegas were nothing but breeders, and he used them as such. The kingdom was in a civil war, and all the kids could do was watch as everything they had known was torn apart. As the war raged on, Kenny had his niece and nephews watch him rule over the prisoners brought before him.
One girl entered the courtroom, chained and beaten with pretty blue eyes but an ugly face. She had been arrested for being an omega, refusing to give herself to the state under the law. She begged the king to see reason, for him to stop his evil ways. He merely laughed. Turning to his nephews and niece, he asked them what he should do with the omega. The two knew what Kenny would have done with her, she would be used as a breeder in the training barracks, a comfort woman who would birth more soldiers for the cause.
However as they looked at her pitiful form, they felt an emotion they hadn't felt in a long time. Sympathy. For the first time, they felt shame for all that their uncle has done. However, her ugly appearance made them less inclined to help her. The oldest of the three announced that she should go to prison for a year as the punishment, greatly surprising the king. The girl could sense that despite their corruption, the princes and princess could be redeemed from their uncle's corrupted ways. She asked one last time to be spared, for a loophole to this law was that any omega who could pay the fee would not be subjected to the law. She offered a rose as her payment, an enchanted rose she claimed would bring good fortune. The Princess accepted the rose, looking towards her uncle in hopes that for once, kindness could prevail as her mother had taught.
Kenny did not relent, demanding that she be used in the barracks for the new soldiers. Before they could take her away, she suddenly caught fire, a beautiful enchantress taking her place. "I had heard of the mighty Mitras's downfall, but I did not know it had fallen this far. For your crimes against your subjects, I sentence you, Kenneth Ackerman, to death." The enchantress ordered, fire scorching around the screaming king as he perished. The noblemen and guards around her quickly perished, their screams echoing throughout the halls of the once magnificent castle. The children watched passively as their home burned around them, not lifting a finger to help their uncle or the noblemen around them.
"I can see that you wished to help me," the enchantress spoke calmly, looking at the princes sitting in their thrones. "For that, your punishment will be less severe. I see within you a growth of great evil, but you can be saved from your uncle's corruption. With time, love, and patience, you can become good men and great alphas." Her eyes glowed white and a bright flash overtook the room as the princes began to scream, figures changing as bones cracked and flesh parted. Their sister watched in horror, as her brothers became beasts, ugly and ferocious.
"For your punishment, you must find someone to love you and love them in return with great ferocity. You must have them love you for who you are as a person, despite the ugliness of your body. At such a time you meet an omega who can love you wholeheartedly, my curse will be lifted." She promised. She looked to the princess who was shaking in fear of her own punishment and gave her a soothing smile.
"Princess, you tried to save me, despite my ugly appearance. You remembered your mother and her message of love and kindness. But you did nothing all this time to spread her message, both to your brothers and to your uncle. For your lack of action, I will grant you the power to save your brothers, the power to reverse this curse and magic beyond your imagination. But you can never exist in this world to help them, and they can only see you in their dreams. You will know when you meet the person who will break the curse, but you can never tell that person of the curse, or the curse will become permanent. You will be like a ghost in this world, no one will hear or see you. As you have lived your life as one." The enchantress revealed, bringing a hand to the rose and watching as it shook in the frightened girls' hands. The stem elongated, the wiggling stem beginning to wrap around her hand and arm, dividing into more tendrils that slowly engulfed her.
"Mikasa… no!" One of the princes shouted, gasping as his teeth fell out, replaced by sharp canines that could rip apart human flesh. The enchantress hummed, already seeing in her mind the boy who would break the curse.
"You will thank me one day, even if you hate me now, you will. As a gift, I will leave you with a few of my own servants. They will teach you and hopefully help you in the future." With that the enchantress disappeared in a flash, leaving an empty hall of burning bodies, and two crying beasts.
Like I said this is the prelude to the actual story. This will be posted and then I will try and quickly post the first actual chapter! Thank you for your patience and I hope you enjoyed! Leave a comment if you liked it!
