Prologue
In Japan, there is an old legend. A legend about a family of eight who stole souls. Legend states that these eight live in an abandoned mansion at the end of a maze in a forest known as the 'Dark Woods'. No one has ever stepped foot into the maze, as they are afraid of what might happen to them if they do; as no one has returned. This old legend tells about the eight: The Master, The Mistress, The Lady, The Princess, The Doll Twins, The Butler, and The Maid.
In the legend, The Master is described as a tall, skinny man with shining blue hair and eyes. His name is unknown, hence why he is called The Master. The Master is a very fragile, nice, young man. The man's age is unknown, but some people think his age is about twenty-two years old.
The Mistress is described as a delicate and beautiful young woman. She is described as a short skinny woman. Her name is also unknown, as age is as well. She is described with brown short hair and chestnut eyes. To people, her age is twenty-two years old.
The Lady is described with long pink hair and sparkling blue eyes. People like to think of this beautiful lady as The Mistress's sister. She is described to be the exact same as her supposed sister, only taller. Her age is unknown, as is her name. To people, her age is twenty years old.
The Princess is described as young fifteen year old with long teal hair and gorgeous hazel eyes. Her name is unknown. She's a tall, well-figured girl for her age. Often people speak of her being the daughter of The Master and The Mistress.
The Dolls Twins are a pair of blonde fourteen year olds. Their names are unknown. The Doll Girl is supposedly the older sister of the Doll Boy, who is the younger brother. The Doll Twins are described as a little shorter than The Princess, well-figured, and have bright blue eyes.
The Butler is described as tall, well-figured young man. His age is unknown, as his name is as well. People like to think of this man as a year old than The Master and The Mistress, being aged at twenty-three. He is described with long purple hair tied into a ponytail and violet eyes.
The Maid is described as a young, well-figured teen. She is aged at sixteen, with green hair short in the back and side pieces long in the front. The Maid is described to be childish, and is often in charge of keeping The Princess in check and taking care of The Doll Twins.
Most people go against the idea of saying that these eight are a family, as each one seems to have a background story of their own that hasn't been told for centuries.
Though this legend still lives on, even today. Many do not even know if these eight really exist. And if they do exist, how have they been kept alive all these years?
The only way to gain answers would have to be to ask the eight themselves. But, how would that happen?
Once you go into the Dark Woods, you never come back…right?
