Once upon a time, in a far away land, a young prince named Alastor lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. Then, one cold winter's night, someone came to the castle. A young man was sitting on a throne with a bored expression on his face. He had brown hair and brownish skin. He wore a red suit with a red and black bowtie, dark red pants, and black tap shoes. He also wore a pair of reading glasses. He scowled as he looked out the window to see a big blizzard outside. "Ugh! I'm so bored!" he groaned. "This isn't fair!"
"What's the matter sir?" one of his male servants asked. He had blonde hair and he wore a white suit with pink strips. He also wore a black and pink bowtie. He looked to be around 8 feet tall.
"Something wrong?" another servant asked. He had tan skin and he wore a butlers outfit with a red bowtie and a small top hat.
"Is there anything we can help you with?" asked another servant, this time female. She was a short, chubby woman who wore a maid outfit, and she had white skin and had short, blonde hair. Alastor groaned.
"I was planning to take a little stroll outside, but this stupid blizzard had other plans. Now, I'm stuck inside with nothing to do and it isn't fair!" he pouted.
"Oh, boo hoo," the servant in the top hat grumbled sarcastically. The small woman slugged him in the shoulder.
"Ow! What was that for!" he yelled quietly so the prince couldn't hear.
"You wanna lose you're head idiot?! Keep you're mouth shut!" she yelled quietly back to him.
"Ugh, I'm so bored!" Alastor groaned.
"Don't worry sir, I'm sure we'll think if something," said the blonde, 8 foot tall servant. He thought to himself, then he got an idea. "I know, how about a little song and dance to lift you spirits sir?" he asked.
"Ugh, not a damn song," the prince grumbled.
"Yeah, I agree, please don't sing," said the servant in the top hat. The 8 foot tall servant scowled at him.
"No one asked you motherfucker," he said before turning around to face the king. "Come on sir, I bet it will make you feel better," he said in a cheery tone.
"The answer is no, now why don't you three do me a favor and fuck off?" he retorted. The three servants were offended.
"Rude," grumbled the 8 foot tall servant. Suddenly, they all heard someone knocking on the door.
"What the-? Who the fuck is here?" hissed Alastor.
"Huh, someone's at the door," said the short, chubby woman.
"Oh really, I haven't noticed," said the servant in the top hat in a sarcastic tone while rolling his eyes. The woman slugged him in the shoulder again. "Ow, what the fuck!"
"Would you like for me to get the door sir?" said the 8 foot tall servant.
"No, let me get it, It'll at least give me something to do," grumbled Alastor. He got off his throne and started walking towards the front door. More knocking was heard. "Alright! Give me a fucking minute! My God!" he yelled angrily. He stormed over to the front doors and slammed them open. "Who dares to disturb me?" he shouted.
"Excuse me sir," he heard someone say. He looked down to see an old woman wearing only a cloth. He was repulsed by her haggard appearance. "My name is Lilith and I am but a poor beggar. Please, take this rose as an exchange for shelter from the bitter cold," said the beggar holding out a lovely red rose. Alastor slowly started to laugh.
"Are you serious right now? A rose? A fucking rose?!" he laughed hysterically. "That's just so... utterly disappointing," he said scowling at the beggar. "Get out of here you ratchet, old hag."
"Let me warn you dear prince, don't be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within," said Lilith.
"What does that even mean? You know what, I don't care. Why don't you go find someone else to bother you filthy peasant." He then slammed the doors in her face. He then started walking away. Suddenly, the doors burst open and a bright light shone through the castle entrance. "What the?!" Alastor said in surprise. He turned around and saw the old woman's ugliness melt away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. Alastor stared in shock.
"Sir, what's happening?!" shouted the small woman running over to Alastor with the two other servants. They looked up at the enchantress.
"Holy shit!" shouted the 8 foot tall servant.
"You have been deceived by your own cold heart! A curse upon your castle and all who live in it!" said Lilith. A magical aura started to surround everyone, and they started to change into strange demonic creatures. "Until you have found one to love you as you are, you shall remain forever a beast!" Alastor screamed in pain as he started to change into a demon-like monster. After the curse was set, ashamed of his monstrous form, Alastor concealed himself inside his castle, with a magic mirror as his only way to the outside world. The rose Lilith had offered him turned into a small key with an eyes design on it, and the eye would start to close on his twenty-first year. If he could learn to love another, and earn their love in return by the time the eye closed completely, then the curse would be broken and everyone would turn human again. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all eternity. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever learn to love a beast?
