Prologue: The beginning


Every story begins with a once upon a time.

Stories about princesses and princes, who met and fell in love with each other, were common especially to children. They love them.

Stories about how the prince would rescue the damsel-in-distress was always popular. It was sweet, wonderful and lovely.

Stories about a love so true it could overcome almost anything. A love that would stand the test of time. A love that would never be destroyed by anything or anyone, no matter what happened.

However, this is quite different to those stories because you see..

Our princess isn't exactly the kind of princess you expected. In a way.


"Then the prince bestowed upon the slumbering princess a kiss that would break the spell." A woman, in her mid-years, narrated and briefly glanced over to the little girl who sat beside her.

"A true love's kiss." They whispered at the same time before the little girl looked up to the woman and grinned widely. "The prince loved the princess with all his heart and he broke the spell!"

The woman giggled at the excitement the little child displayed and she softly combed her long turquoise locks before humming an agreement.

"And they lived happily after that." She continued before placing a kiss on the little girl's forehead.

"The princess was freed from her curse and she was able to find the man who loved her truly." The little girl muttered with a yearning gaze as she stared at the picture drawn on the last page where the prince and princess shared a kiss.

"Yes, she did."

"Mother? Do you think I will find the man for me as well? Like the princess in the book?" The little girl looked up from the book to look at her Mother's gentle and loving gaze.

"Of course, my dearest, you will. When the right time comes, the right one will come along and change your world. He will be different from everything. The feeling will be very endearing it's almost scary." Her mother explained as she wrapped her sweet little daughter in a warm embrace.

"Scary? Why is it scary, Mother?" The little girl, a bit confused, asked.

"You will understand soon, dearest. Now, why don't you be my good little girl and sleep, okay?"

"Mm. Good night, Mother. I love you." The little girl said and adjusted herself so she was comfortable under her covers.

"Good night, Miku." Her mother whispered before placing one last kiss on her forehead before retiring for the night as well.


Miku, the princess of the Xesithia Kingdom of the underworld, is the scion of the Demon King and Queen- the most powerful demons in the whole realm.

Contrary to popular belief, the King and Queen were very doting to their child. They loved her very much and gave everything she wanted within their power.

Now this princess, being a child from both very powerful demons, possessed power beyond what her parents could imagine. This caused her to be locked up inside their castle walls. She was never allowed to venture beyond the walls or else she'll be in danger. In a lot of ways.

Yet, even though she was secluded inside her home, it didn't make her any less happy and kind. She was a peculiar one, given her race and the uncharacteristically kind soul she was, and they loved her all the same.

Growing up with powers she could not control well yet, she had to undergo fierce training and studied all kinds of different spells. Add to it the lessons she had to take to prepare her for succeeding their kingdom and someday rule it.

Everything that was pushed onto her caused her extreme exhaustion and depression. The only thing that kept her going was the promise she shared with her parents, that when she finishes her coming of age ritual and have taken full control of her powers, she was allowed to roam free beyond the walls- even beyond the realm if she wished.


On that night, as soon as her mother closed her bedroom doors and she drifted off to sleep, a dream, so vivid and true, visited her.

There was a boy. He had a wonderful pair of aquamarine orbs that stared back at her. However, he was crying.

Miku went close to him and gave him a gentle embrace. She did not understand why but the sound of his sobs was tugging at her heart and she can't help but be sad for this unknown boy.

"It'll be fine. Everything's going to be fine." She whispered and caressed the boy's hair.

She soon woke up to the light knock on her bedroom door and gently pushed herself up.

"Yes?" She called to whoever was beyond the closed doors.

The heavy double doors opened and in came her attendants- Radia and Ulna. They both bowed deeply without looking at her eyes.

"The King and Queen requests that you go to the dining room and join them for breakfast, Milady." Radia said.

"I understand." Miku answered and closed both of her eyes so they could attend to her.

Are you wondering why? Well, Miku had this rare ability of killing whoever meets her eye, regardless of anyone or anything. That is except for the King and Queen, who seemed to be not affected with it.

This rare gift- or should I say curse- was one of the main reasons why she never had a friend, why she was not allowed outside the castle grounds, why she never saw another set of eyes stare back at her except from her parents and why she was not formally introduced to other demon aristocrats.

After dressing Miku and fixing her hair, they accompanied her to the dining hall with eyes cast downwards.

"Good Morning Mother, Father." Miku greeted with a small curtsey and walked to her seat after her parents gave her an acknowledging nod.

"Did you sleep well, my princess?" Her father, the King, asked after setting his cup of coffee down.

"Yes, Father. Although I had a very strange dream last night." Miku answered.

"Well, nightmares are common for someone your age already. I believe it shouldn't scare a demon of royalty but I guess you can't help it if you're scared, little one."

"No, Father. It wasn't a scary dream. It was just odd."

"It's just a dream, dearest. Eat your breakfast so you won't be late for your lessons." Her mother spoke before she sipped her tea.

"Yes, Mother." Miku obediently did as she was told and proceeded to eating her breakfast.

After everything, she excused herself and went to each of her lessons. Unfortunately, even if she did, she could not rid her mind of the uncanny dream she had which resulted to her focus straying every single time.

Later that night, as soon as her Mother kissed her goodnight and closed her doors, Miku got up from her bed and pulled out a book, she took from their library beforehand, from under her pillow.

She searched for a certain spell that would help her have that same dream again. She needed to know who that boy was. She couldn't understand why she was so restless after having that dream and she figured that the only way to rid the uneasiness from her system was to witness that same dream again and see the boy again.

After finding one that told her would help her, she recited the spell. It was all so silent so she thought it did not work when all so suddenly her surroundings started to distort and a light momentarily blinded her.

She squinted and closed her eyes to get them accustomed to the brightness of her new surroundings. She was between tall trees that easily towered her and stretched up to the skies. She felt scared. She was frightened. She did not know where she was.

There was not a place on her kingdom that had light as much as this. It wasn't what she usually saw. Everything was new and foreign. As she grew even more scared, she could feel her control on her power slowly slip away till the grass beneathe her started to change in color and the trees around her started creaking.

They're dying. The trees and grasses are dying. I'm killing them!

She thought to herself and immediately calmed herself to regain back her control and stop poisoning the trees.

"Whe-Where am I?" She breathed out shakily as she let her eyes roam around.

She got up and started to explore the place so she could figure out where she was and find a way back. As she walked and walked, a creature, she doesn't know, leapt in front of her and she let out a shrill scream making the furry little creature jump in surprise as well.

Miku opened her eyes and found the little one there, just staring at her. It seemed harmless so she peered closer to it and the moment it met her eyes, the once red orbs of the little creature turned black before it stiffened and laid lifeless.

Miku gasped and remembered about her gift- I mean curse- as she immediately closed her eyes again. She tried to feel her surroundings and side-stepped the poor little creature as she whispered an apology.

She tried to continue navigating through the woods with her eyes downwards to avoid killing harmless and innocent creatures.

Miku was about to rest and maybe think about things when she heard a hissing sound. She thought that it was another harmless creature so she immediately shut her eyes close and maybe wait to let it pass by her.

The hissing only got louder till she felt its cold skin touch her till it wrapped around her arms. She was starting to get nervous about it and tried to shrug it off when all so suddenly a stinging pain came and she jerked it off her while letting out another shrill scream.

She flung her eyes open and found a slithery creature wiggling towards her. The creature raised its head and Miku purposely met its eyes. Like the furry fellow she accidentally killed, the slithery creature's lime green orbs darkened till it became black and stiffened before it fell to the ground.

"Ah! I'm bleeding. The-There's so much blood." Miku muttered and fell to the ground letting out soft sobs. "Mother, Father, please help me. Find me please."

"Hello? Is anyone there?" Miku heard a voice and whipped her head towards where it came from.

A bush suddenly rustled till a stranger, a boy with ocean blue orbs, stumbled in.

"A-Are you fine?" The boy asked.

"I-It's you." Miku whispered.
