Author's Note: Hello! I always wanted to write something for Resident Evil (been a huge Leon fan but couldn't come up with any good story for him) but when RE8 came out and I was introduced to the one and only Karl Heisenberg, I really wanted to write something for him hehe. I love Neil Newbon's voice for Karl and just...I love everything about this metal villain. Updates won't be as frequent, it won't have a set schedule, but I will try my best to update as much as I can without life getting in the way =)
Cover was put together by me, but the image of Karl and the factory is not mine. Just a bunch of pictures I arranged together.

Long ago, a young girl went with her Mother to pick berries for her Father who was hard at work. But the forest greeted them with a dark, cold silence, the bushes empty. Yet, determined to find the berries, the rascal broke free from Mother's grasp and vanished into the trees. Mother's worried cries faded fast as the girl ran on; over vine, and under branch and into the forest deep.
Feeling strange eyes upon her, the girl recalled Mother's scary bedtime tales and her throat became bone dry. Then the Bat Lord appeared! He greeted her warmly and bit his own wing. "Come, child. Quench your thirst," he said. So she drank the thick, dark blood and smiled with joy.
Passing through the graveyard, menacing storm clouds loomed and the air turned bitingly cold. The girl was shivering in her thin clothes. Then a Dark Weaver appeared, and with a click of his fingers, crafted mist into a beautiful dress. "Come, child. Warm yourself," he coaxed. So she clothed herself and smiled with joy.
Across waters deep and ominous she went, hoping a boat she found would carry her home. But hunger's grip tightened and her heart grew heavy. Then the Fish King appeared and offered one of his many fins. "Come, child. Eat your fill." So the girl ate and smiled with joy once more.
Deeper into the dark forest, in an area where neither light nor creature dared to venture the girl grew fearful and alone. Then, through the dark foliage, a White Dog appeared. The Dog didn't speak as he walked up to the child, placing himself securely beside the girl and urged her to keep walking forward. The child smiled with joy, ruffling the soft tufts of fur under her hand, seeking the safety and companionship he provided in the barren forest, and together the two walked.
Continuing on, she soon entered the forest's dark heart. Then an Iron Steed appeared, bearing a beautiful, golden gear. The Dog, unable to contain his enthusiasm, left the child's side and dashed forward to greet his old friend as the two playfully chased each other around, prancing and rushing this way and that. Then the Iron Steed stopped, saying nothing as the girl approached…and snatched what she thought was another gift. The horse grew angry and summoned the other monsters.
Terror filled the girl's heart as a wild wind rose around the beasts. Suddenly, a Witch appeared—dark, yet regal. Just as the witch opened her mouth to speak, the Dog looked on in sadness before retreating back into the forest. "Gifts we gave, but more you took," she snarled. "So more, in turn, is due." In a blink, the girl was trapped inside a mirror…
This chapter as well as the next are kind of just laying the groundwork and bringing forth my OC. She will make an appearance very soon I promise! Hopefully you can kinda see from my change in the Village of Shadow what kind of role she may have hehe but there's still so much mystery shrouding her. =)
If you are enjoying what you see so far or looking forward to more chapters then leave a nice little review, follow, or favorite just to let me know. It's not mandatory, but it's greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone for reading! Sending lots of love your way!
