The world was not as it is now. It was once dark, cold, and unforgiving.
People lived in fear of upsetting the delicate balance set forth by nature. It was such a delicate matter for anyone who stepped out of the white and black and into the gray would suffer pain beyond imagining.
It was that fear that governed them.
Only one King ruled, and at the time, he was feared, a beast by many, and none were allowed to see him, for he did not rule the humans, directly, only by a connection, a human connection, a fleur, as the humans called him or her, the flower of the people.
He wasn't a king for humans, but the King of the Supernatural. He ruled over the vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and other dark creatures, but protected the humans. He, also, protected the balance, and had only one rule.
No one would break that rule, not even him.
He refused to fall in love, for falling in love was disastrous for his world. He especially would not fall in love with a human, for she would be too delicate to withstand him.
This rule set the tone of the world.
Love was forbidden, and in time, it was forgotten.
For how could the world survive if love was not present?
How could a king rule fairly if he did not love?
How could the darkness be contained if love did not tame it?
But love is the most powerful force in nature and it will not be tainted or destroyed.
Especially true love…
In time, the King began to realize the truth.
Love was light. It was a fleur, but it wasn't the fleur the humans sent him. It had to be a special fleur, and though he didn't say it out loud, only to his most loyal and trusted adviser knew why.
For since the King was a young boy, he had seen a vision of a special fleur, a woman with kind eyes, and for reasons only the King and his adviser knew, that fleur would be the one to guide his world into peace.
But as the years passed, the King fell into a hardened shell, as did the world around him, for he realized the fleur, the human connection he needed, was nowhere to be found.
The world, his world, was forever to remain cold and dark.
For who could ever learn to love a beast...
