Prologue
It was beautiful, really; the way the black and white rose petals danced in the breeze. The thorny plants grew close to the ground and crowded around Sebastian's ankles as he walked. He carried with him his master, Ciel; a newly reborn demon. The steady breeze made his locks of raven hair sway to and fro in front of his face as he looked to his master with a rather emotionless gaze.
"Where shall we go now?" he asked.
Ciel shrugged slightly, "You know, I don't much care. After all you and I already know where we're ultimately going to end up. I was always going there; as a dead human, or as a live demon."
Sebastian stopped at the edge of a deep canyon that cut through the earth. It dropped straight down into a black abyss; into a world the child-demon didn't know. The tails to the older demon's tailcoat flapped and swayed to the pace of the breeze. He stared into the awe-consuming blackness, thinking . . . thinking . . .
Ciel's eyes slipped closed as he allowed the breeze to push his bangs back. A rather peaceful look settled on his face.
"I feel good, somehow; as if released from a spell I was under for a long time."
"Yes," Sebastian said with a sigh, looking down at him, "And in return for that, I have been put under an eternal spell."
A hand that had been resting on Sebastian's shoulder visibly tightened and Ciel shot him a stern look.
"You are my butler, Sebastian."
"I am simply one hell of a butler. For eternity."
Ciel's tone went sour, "And as before there is only one answer that you will give me. You know it, don't you?"
Sebastian sprang forth over the edge of the canyon, kicking up the black and white rose petals that were beneath his feet.
"Yes, my lord."
"I know that was rather short for a prologue, but bear with me! I HAD TO START SOMEWHERE! The idea for this story was brought on by a writing prompt from Kiara Dawn. I will be working on this while waiting for 'Violated: A Butler's Suffering' to gain more reviews. Please enjoy!"
