One would think that, coming from the wealthy and influential Wellington family (the owners of the powerful 'Wellington' clothing brand) that presented themselves as a happy and responsible modern family in Ultra Space, Richard would have had a good childhood. Unfortunately, that was absolutely untrue in Richard's case, living in what was a very abusive home.
"I-I'm trying, Dad! I'm just not good with the piano! It's been 3 hours, can I just take a break, please?" a younger, more scrawny, Richard told his father. He was pretty young, only 9 years old at this point.
That resulted in a smack upside the head, his father growling. "Shut up. Even I wasn't this poor at the piano when I was your age. I played the piano, your grandfather played the piano, your great-grandfather played the piano, and I'll be damned if my son can't play worth shit. Go through the music piece once more, and I BETTER not hear any mistakes!"
"Y-Yes, dad…" Richard whimpered.
Richard's mother was little better. Though she didn't go as far physically as Eric did, Samantha was merciless on berating her son if he came out with anything less than an A+. Given that Richard was a decent student, though not talented enough to pull off A+ on every single solitary assignment, he got quite the verbal abuse. But even his parents paled in comparison to his abusive older sister…
"Oh, Richard…~"
He gulped at that voice, dropping his pencil as he was doing his homework. He turned around to see her sister.
"A-Andrea, please. Just let me finish this assignment. If I don't do well, Mom will kill me."
The far more sensual and seductive female Solgaleo rubbed her little brother's shoulders, as if trying to comfort him.
"Why don't I take you for a ride? It always makes me feel better.~"
"Please, Andrea… I-I…"
"Clothes. Off."
Richard gulped. No getting around it now. He admitted defeat, having yielded to his older sister long ago. He sighed, stripping and becoming naked before his sister.
…Richard always seemed to zone out whenever his older sister wanted sex. To him, it was the best way to just kinda… ignore it. But for some reason, it just seemed incredibly torturous today.
He groaned out. "A-Andrea, I need to do… my…"
Andrea giggled as she rode Richard, enjoying this every step of the way. "Don't worry about your… ohh… homework. Like it matters.~"
"B-But… p-please…" Richard begged desperately.
"Really… nothing matters for you.~"
Something inside the younger Solgaleo snapped that day. He wasn't sure what it was, but his reaction to that was completely automatic and out of his conscious control. He shoved his sister off of him forcefully, unintentionally using his rubbermancy powers to bind her to the wall.
Both Richard and Andrea were in a state of shock, with Richard having unintentionally used his powers when he wanted to keep them hidden from his family, and Andrea for well… having her younger brother suddenly fling her off and onto the wall with rubber.
Andrea was the first to break out of the daze, though. "MOM! DAD! GET OVER HERE! RICHARD'S A FREAK!"
Richard, in a panic, held his hands out tried to tell her to be quiet. "A-Andrea, please! I-I…"
Once again, having pushed his hands out, another strap of latex was flung towards Andrea, covering her mouth and gagging her. It was after Andrea was silenced that Richard could now think.
"O-Oh Arceus… I can't let her go… she'll tell Mom and Dad and… who knows what they'd do?" he gulped, panicking but trying to think over his options. But once he came to his final realization…
He ran.
He ran out of his room.
He ran out of the hall.
He ran out of his house.
He ran out of his property.
He ran off into the street.
And wanting to separate himself as far away as he could from what would have awaited him… he ran into an Ultra Wormhole that took him out of Ultra Space.
He didn't even know where he landed.
But he continued to run.
Richard just kept running. And running. And running.
Until finally, his legs failed him as he knelt on the ground, laying on the pavement. He had no idea where he was, where he had run to, or what was even around him. All he cared about was the distance he had put between himself and his family. He had run far enough anyways.
"Just gonna… sleep for a bit…"
It turned out that he had landed in Unova, and ran all the way from the large and lively Nimbasa City to the small and quiet Undella Town, which was nearly half of the region away! He had stopped and slept in front of a small but quaint house, dead in the middle of the night. Nobody would have noticed him at this hour, with the small town almost completely asleep for the night.
That is, all but a certain Nidoking and Nidoqueen couple, coming back to their home in the small town after gazing at the stars at Undella Beach.
The Nidoqueen spoke up. "…You think that wish will come true, Pierce?"
The Nidoking sighed. "I don't know, Marissa. Biologically… you know that I'm infertile. It's just… humiliating that as a husband, I can't give you what you want. A child."
Marissa looked up to her husband. "Hey. I didn't marry you for the child. I married you FOR you."
Pierce had a bit of a forlorn gaze as he hugged his wife. "I suppose… there's artificial insemination."
Marissa shook her head. "You know I don't want that. I want this child to be yours as much as mine. I wouldn't want the child to be 50% me, 50% random guy I'll never know."
Pierce hugged his beloved tightly. "So… adoption, then?"
Marissa smiled back. "Yeah. Adoption sounds good."
As they broke from the hug, Pierce saw the unconscious child in front of their house.
"Oh my god, Marissa!"
"Pierce, what is-OH MY GOD!"
Both of them ran to the Solgaleo child, with both of them concerned about him. Pierce, being a trained nurse, immediately checked his pulse.
"OK, good. He has a steady pulse. He doesn't seem to have any cuts or bruises, either…"
The Nidoking listened in closely to the young child's breathing… before sighing in relief. "Thank Arceus. He's just sleeping."
"Why on earth would a child be sleeping out here?"
Pierce shook his head. "I don't know. But let's just give him a warm bed for the night and help him find his parents in the morning. It's already pretty late."
Richard woke up the next morning. His body was still exhausted so he still couldn't move much. Opening his eyes, he saw that he was laying down in a small, but still comfortable, bed. His surroundings were unfamiliar, but guessed that he was in a guest room of some sort. Despite not knowing where he was, or even who had put him in this bed… he couldn't bring himself to worry as he laid in the bed, happy to rest.
Until there was a knock on the door outside.
"…Are you up?" asked the voice on the other side. It wasn't his father's, or his mother's or his sister's voice. It was male, slightly gruff but clearly concerned in his tone.
"Umm… yes." Richard answered.
"…May we come in?" asked a different voice, this one female.
"…Yes." Richard answered again, now just wondering if these were the people that found him.
The door opened, and a Nidoking and Nidoqueen came inside, careful as to not startle the child too much. Closing the door softly behind them, the two Nidos looked at the young Solgaleo child, just wondering what had happened with him.
But introductions were probably best to break the ice with first. "…I'm Pierce. And this is my wife, Marissa." The Nidoking told the child. "We found you outside our home. Are you OK?"
Richard paused. He was far away from his family. He didn't have to worry about anything he could say being covered with lies from his parents. He didn't have to think about any counselors he talked to at school being bribed with hush money. He no longer had to fear the consequences of 'tarnishing' his family's image.
So he told the truth.
The resulting answer was so shocking and horrifying to Pierce and Marissa that they wasted no time to pursue a legal case. Richard was no longer under the control or restrictions of his family, now outside of Ultra Space. No longer did he have to worry about any 'image' to preserve or money silencing those that tried to look into the family. No longer did he have to keep living in a nightmare.
"…I think that's all of the facts, Your Honor."
An anthro Persian, representing Pierce and Marissa Samuels in court, affirmed to him after he received the binder of notes. Richard sat with the Nidos, looking with disappointment over to the other side of the courtroom. To his 'family'. It was clear that their defense was non-existent and that they had no rebuttal to the Persian's gathered notes. In that binder of notes were multiple details.
One from a counselor at Richard's school who wasn't convinced by the family's hush money, but was still silenced legally.
One from a (now former) friend of the Wellingtons, who had suspected that the family wasn't as happy as it seemed. As soon as he tried to investigate, he too was shut down.
Diary pages from Richard detailing the abuse that he kept.
And perhaps most damningly of all, clear-cut signs of female ejaculation in Richard's room. While most of it was wiped up the day Richard left, small residue remained behind.
The Noivern judge groaned, looking over the notes. "This isn't just open-and-shut, this is revolting."
He looked over to the Wellington side of the courtroom, EXTREMELY displeased. Eric Wellington, Richard's father, seemed to suddenly become very squeamish underneath the fierce glare of the Noivern judge. The judge kept fierce eye contact with Eric as he spoke.
"The evidence is pretty damn convincing. Not only was Richard the victim of physical, psychological, and sexual abuse, but the family had gone out his their way to cover it up, all in a sad and pathetic attempt to protect their image. Mr. Wellington, if I were you, I'd come out with any regrets you have to MAYBE get a few sympathy points. Not that it changes your sentence."
The Wellington family seemed to gulp nervously, sweating in a panic.
"I've come to my ruling. Pierce and Marissa Samuels are granted legal guardianship of Richard Wellington, as request by them and Richard. And in line with Unovian Law, rather than Ultra Space Law…
Eric Wellington is sentenced to 50 years in prison for physical abuse and neglect of sexual crimes.
Samantha Wellington is sentenced to 40 years in prison for emotional abuse and neglect of sexual crimes.
And Andrea Wellington, being of at least age 18 upon the sexual assaults on Richard at age 12, is sentenced to life in prison.
Case dismissed."
Richard sobbed after the ruling… sobs of both relief and joy as he hugged his REAL family, who held him close as the Wellingtons were escorted out, sobbing a very different kind of tears. Finally, it was all over and a new chapter of his life would begin…
The days after the trial were far more normal, allowing Richard to start living a more normal life with his family. While he still carries the scars of abuse, the appropriate therapy would help heal him. It was not a magic cure-all for what they did, but he was strong enough to leave the past behind as he got older with the proper encouragement. However, Richard had left one secret from his true family, one they would discover quite unintentionally just a few days later after the trial…
"Oh, Pierce." Marissa sighed, seeing her husband working on the rooftop of their second-story home, replacing some of the broken tiles after a fierce thunderstorm days earlier. Richard was looking up with his mother, quite unnerved as well.
"Please come down from there, Pierce. We'll just hire someone to do this!"
"Marissa, I've got it. It's just a few broken tiles. I'm not paying some overpriced company a hundred bucks to replace, like, six tiles."
"I don't know…" Marissa sighed. "I just don't like you up there."
"Would you relax, Marissa? I'm totally…"
Pierce wouldn't finish that sentence, slipping on a wet patch left over from the thunderstorm. Being close to the edge, he attempted to get a grip on the edge of the roof… but his hands just barely missed, sending him falling.
"PIERCE!" Marissa screamed in horror.
Richard was horrified as well, having only a split-second to react. Once again and out of pure instinct, he shot forth latex from his hands. It quickly wrapped itself around Pierce's body, inflating itself rapidly and covering his entire body as a cocoon. By the time Pierce hit the ground, he bounced off of it harmlessly, no worse for the wear.
Pierce had clenched his eyes in fear to brace for impact… but was surprised to bounce harmlessly with no injuries. So he… slowly opened his eyes.
"W-What…?" he asked in confusion. He squirmed a bit in the rubber cocoon. Safe, but stuck in there pretty tightly.
Marissa was confused as well, but wasted no time in running over to her husband and hugging his head. "Oh Pierce! Thank Arceus you're OK! You… Y-You could've…!"
Pierce looked ashamed. "I… Sorry, Marissa."
It was only now that the two of them took more notice of the rubber cocoon that had saved Pierce's life.
"Where… did this come from?" Marissa asked.
"I-It was… m-me." Richard stuttered, shaking nervously as he approached his family. "I-I'm so sorry, I just didn't want Dad to…"
Pierce looked at his son. "Richard, why are you apologizing? You saved my life."
Richard was in awe. They weren't… ashamed? "I… I've had these powers since I was born. I don't know where they came from. I didn't want to reveal them to you because… I was afraid you'd think of me as a freak. Like… my sister…"
Pierce shook his head. "Richard. Don't you ever be ashamed of who you are. If it wasn't for those powers of yours, I might've died today."
Richard was silent. He almost couldn't believe what he was hearing. These powers he had… they weren't ashamed or angry?
"…Admittedly, those kinds of powers are something I don't understand. But maybe we can find someone to help you with them."
Richard shook his head. "I don't think so. It's… exceptionally rare. I never met anybody with these powers. It's not from my biological family."
"…Then you just keep practicing with them." Marissa finally spoke up. "Maybe you could put those powers to good use."
Richard felt… so grateful. His family truly wanted to support him. He teared up a little bit, getting emotional. "T-Thank you so much… Mom and Dad."
Marissa smiled. "You'll always be our son, Richard."
Pierce agreed. "You will… but umm… how do I get out of here?" the Nidoking laughed.
Only a few days after that reveal, both of the Nidos and Richard himself would receive a visit from someone Richard knew very well…
"…And you are?" Pierce said.
An elderly-looking Solgaleo arrived at the home. His face was tired and worn, as if exhausted with the world.
"…Abraham Wellington." The elderly Solgaleo sighed.
Pierce glared. "We don't need another abuser from his family haunting him again." He growled, about to shut the door.
"Papa?"
Richard's young voice spoke, seeing his grandfather for the first time since the trial.
"I'm sorry I wasn't at the trial. I was out in the old country of Ultra Space. I like the quiet and isolation there."
Pierce looked uneasy, looking back to Marissa, then Richard, then the elderly Solgaleo again.
Richard smiled. "Don't worry. Let him in."
Pierce was hesitant, but the Nidoking finally allowed him to come in.
"I apologize if my appearance was sudden. But I had just heard of what happened and… I would never imagine that my own son would allow such a thing to happen."
Richard dashed towards his grandfather, tearfully hugging him. "I'm so glad to see you again, Papa."
"I'm glad to see you too, Richie. But I am here for a very important reason as well."
Marissa had her suspicions as well. "…Go on…"
"…Richie, did you tell your new family of your… abilities?"
"If you're talking about the rubber thing, yeah. We kinda found out ourselves." Pierce chuckled.
Abraham sighed. "You certainly took it a lot better than my son."
Richard was confused. "Papa… are you saying… that Dad knew of my powers?"
"…Yes. He did. I know that because… I have the same powers as you, Richard."
Silence. Then Pierce spoke up again.
"I think we all need an explanation." The Nidoking put it bluntly.
"I was going to." Abraham said. "Richie, your father may not have told you, but rubbermancy runs in the family blood. I suspect the reason he didn't tell you was because he was envious. You were born with the powers that he wanted. It skipped his generation. The genetics also tend to favor giving males the ability of rubbermancy, so your sister never had it."
Richard thought back to the day he left. "…I don't think she even knew about this…"
"It's all probably the reason why he treated you the way he did. Utterly unjustifiable, and I wish I had known earlier. I had my own suspicions, but I didn't think of anything to this level…" the elderly Solgaleo sighed. "I am just so ashamed."
"Papa, you didn't do anything wrong." Richard tried to comfort him, hugging him again.
"…Richard. I came here to tell you something else as well. A wise man once said "With great power comes great responsibility". Or maybe it was just some old comics from my childhood. The point still stands."
Richard looked at himself, generating a small glob of rubber. "I was always afraid of these powers… but maybe you're right, Papa. Maybe I can make a difference with them."
Over the years with his new family, and the help of his grandfather, Richard would grow into a fine and mature 'Mon. He grew up to be strong physically, academically, and emotionally. He had put away the demons of his past as he matured, developing his desire in life. For him… he wanted to stop people from hurting others as he had been hurt. It instilled a very strong sense of justice in him, eventually evolving into a passion to be a righteous and good police officer. But on the day before his first time on the job, Richard wanted to visit a few individuals in particular… and to show them what they had lost.
"Richard Wellington?"
"…Richard Samuels." The Solgaleo corrected.
"Right…" the Naganadel replied. "Can't believe you'd want to come back after everything that happened."
Richard sighed. "I wanted to say one last thing to them before I left their life forever."
He had warped back to Ultra Space (having developed the ability to create Ultra Wormholes like most Ultra Beasts from there), visiting the prison within that dimension. The Naganadel led him through the prison. They passed by a couple of other Pokémon. Some Ultra Beasts, some regular Pokémon, some even humans. It didn't take long before the Naganadel stopped a bit behind Richard, giving him some space as he continued forward.
He looked to his right. "Father."
The Solgaleo in the cell Richard faced towards groaned, slowly waking himself up. "I-Is that… my son?"
"EX-son." Richard said bluntly.
Eric sighed, stepping off of the bed and walking towards the edge of the cell. "Son…"
"Richard. You don't GET to call me Son. If Grandfather disowned you, I'm making the same call now." Richard snarled a bit.
"…Richard. I… I genuinely regret what I did. I was wrong. Covering up what your sister did… trying to present ourselves as something we weren't… all for the sake of a stupid 'image'. Because I held back on letting you know about your power… I really was envious of it. Look where that got me."
"Yeah, 'you'. You only looked out for your stupid image, and hated my stupid power even though I didn't choose to be born with it. I didn't matter to you."
"Richard, that's not…"
"If that's not true, then tell me why you never did anything. Any parent that CARED would've stopped it. They would have called someone. Did something. ANYTHING. And it's not like she's the only one guilty of abusing me."
"Richard…"
"Play the piano wrong because of the 'family legacy'? Whack to the head. Try to tell someone about how my family was royally screwed up? Whack to the head. Followed by hush money. Come home with anything less than an A+? Whack to the head. I got a FREAKING 96 on my fourth-grade final project "The Thesis and Creation of Ultra Space". I was so proud of that. And that STILL wasn't good enough for you or Mom because 96 is only one damn point short of an A+."
"Rich-"
"I am NOT done. I am SO FAR from done. I could go all day. So I'll finish off with this. I hate you. I absolutely abhor and despise you."
Eric looked like he was extremely close to tears.
"You want to know what I'm going to do? I'm going to go out those cell doors. And you will NEVER see me again. By the time you get out, you will be old and decrepit, and I will no longer be there to take care of you. I am leaving, and I will never come back. You and I both know that Grandfather's looking down from heaven, utterly ashamed of you."
"N-No! S-Son…"
"Goodbye, Eric."
Richard turned back towards the Naganadel, nodding. And the two walked off, only for Eric's desperate pleads and apologies to hopelessly echo throughout the prison walls…
"…Andrea's out." Eric finally spoke.
Richard stopped.
He turned back around, DASHING towards his former father.
"What the HELL do you mean 'Andrea's out'?!"
"Unfortunately, exactly what it means."
Richard's face paled, now that one of his worst nightmares had become a reality. "How… how did she get out?"
"A couple of different cops came by her cell. It was the empty one near mine. Said that she was on parole for good behavior." Eric explained.
Richard's face cringed up in the most revolting manner, utterly disgusted. "Who the hell gets parole for RAPE?!"
"I… I feel that money may have been at play here…" Eric confessed.
Richard sighed. "Of course. It always comes down to money, doesn't it? You'd know that."
With that, he made his exit for real this time, now feeling much more melancholy…
Only one day after that encounter and horrifying revelation, Richard would have his first day on the job on the Unova Police Force. His mind wasn't in a very healthy place, but he knew he couldn't miss the first day (and potentially his first assignment). After orientation that day, he would receive his first assignment, but it went south for the unfortunate Solgaleo…
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FAST WE'RE GOING?!"
"We have to catch that thief, don't we?!"
Richard was swerving through the streets, hot on the tail of a bank robber. He and a Lilligant co-worker were patrolling when they had received the notice of the bank robber and happened to be nearby to make the chase. While Richard proved himself to be good at dodging the traffic to chase after the robber, the poor Lilligant couldn't help but think this whole scene was straight from an action movie.
Unfortunately, the imitation of an action Hollywood scene came to an end when…
"Out of gas?! I thought this thing was like, at least half-full!"
"Kinda goes down quickly when you're chasing a robber around the city blocks for 2 hours. Looks like this was a bust…" she sighed.
Richard turned off the car, stepping outside to see the getaway car make its' escape.
"…Not if I can help it. Uhh… just don't freak out, OK?"
Richard was fast to use his rubbermancy to slicken the road and would allow him to slide down the frictionless rubber he used at high speed. Before the Lilligant could question anything, Richard went dashing off onto the road, shooting globs of rubber to slicken the road ahead and continue his speedy sliding.
"I'm coming for you, thief."
…It took about 20 minutes for Richard to finally catch up with the getaway car, given the high speed it was going at. Once again slickening the road ahead, this time in front of the getaway car, it caused the car to spin and slide out of control as the driver desperately fought to regain control… before crashing into a tree by the side of the road.
"Ohhh… Arceus. Pain…" the voice inside grunted, with Richard halting his sliding to approach the crashed vehicle.
Richard walked up cautiously with his gun drawn, just to be safe. "You're under arrest for grand theft and larceny. Come out with your hands behind your head."
"That would be nice if I could move…" he groaned. Peeking inside, Richard saw that the thief was a Zangoose.
"…OK. I'll call for backup and a medic. You'll be under arrest after a physical check." He said, placing the call on his cell to his police station.
The Zangoose groaned, but was able to see the odd… rubber substance that he had slid on.
"…The hell is that… slick rubber stuff? You did that to catch me?"
Richard grinned proudly. "Whatever it takes to catch a criminal."
"Congratulations. You're a freak of nature. Bravo." He said, utterly deadpan.
The Solgaleo rolled his eyes as his backup arrived. Unfortunately… with the backup officers and medical assistance was the lead director of the Unova Police Force, a Scizor. And… he didn't look happy.
"Well? I uhh… caught the criminal on my first day, sir." Richard smiled, before noticing the Director's frown. "Uhh… what's wrong?"
The Scizor sighed. "Look to your right."
Richard did and…
"Oops."
Turns out the slick rubber Richard had used to catch up with the criminal had caused many, MANY other cars to get into uncontrollable crashes. Crashing into buildings, trees, streetlights, and at least a 7-car pileup at a stoplight. A LOT of property was ruined in Richard's chase to get the criminal.
"Uhh… I-I…"
"Let's just talk back at the office, OK?"
Richard fiddled a bit with his hands, sitting across from the desk where his Scizor boss was at. He had been too ashamed to look him in the eyes.
"I… I apologize, Boss. I… I was just trying to do my job and apprehend the criminal. I got him, right?"
Silence from the Scizor, rather discomforting for the Solgaleo. Finally, his boss spoke.
"I… took a risk letting you on board, Richard. I convinced the Unovian Police Department executives that I think you would make a great addition to the team. I really believed that. But now? They're breathing down my neck. Saying that I should've known better than letting someone with your… unique powers and background join… I want to give you another chance… but…"
Richard sighed. "I understand. The executives want me out, right?"
"Yeah… they just think you aren't worth the trouble. Plus, they have their hands full in trying to calm down the civilians who witnessed your rubbermancy to explain that you are NOT a threat."
"…I suppose you're right. I was just focused on the criminal. I didn't think about the collateral damage. I suppose I'll take my pink slip, then." Richard admitted, rather depressed about the situation.
The Scizor thought for a moment. "Well… there is something I could do for you, Richard. Technically, you could remain an officer… but are you open to the position of a prison guard?"
"Prison guard? I certainly don't mind, but what brings this up?"
"…There's a new prison being built, close to the edge of Unova. It's almost done, and they're looking for anyone qualified to apply. Given that this is a… special kind of prison, I feel like you'd be a perfect fit. They would also have great use for your powers. I can give you my recommendation. You get a secure job, and the executives stop breathing down my neck and don't have to worry anymore. I think it's a win for everybody."
Richard's response was immediate. "I'm in."
Richard's transfer and recommendation from his boss, along with his powers, would prove to be very beneficial to his new spot as a prison guard. The Solgaleo quickly learned what the Scizor meant by this prison being 'special'. Angel Island Prison, as it was called, was on an isolated island on the edge of the Unova region, with nothing but water surrounding it and the only way to access the island was by boat.
A lot of the prisoners were some of the scummiest in society, with serial murderers, rapists, major drug dealers, violent gang members… it was a place for the most troublesome. Most prisoners were treated reasonably well, even humanely. But prison guards had a lot of power here, and as such, went under serious security checks before getting a position.
But what was most 'special' about this prison was how they operated. Like most other prisons, Angel Island Prison would fully discipline its' prisoners. Unlike most other prisons, it would do some in very unorthodox methods.
Namely, the guards would get very 'kinky with it' with the prisoners. Bondage methods galore were used for discipline. Ball-gags, full-body rubber suits (a form of which was the prison uniform), tight rubber bondage, chastity devices… the more severe the crimes, the more serious gear a prisoner would wear. Guards would toy and play with prisoners about twice a day, and Richard himself brought new methods to the table with his rubbermancy abilities.
The absolute worst of the scum and utterly irredeemable, however, got the strictest and harshest punishment of permanent dronification. Richard himself was very capable of this, and despite treating most prisoners humanely, he would treat the ones he considered to be "less than the dirt underneath my boots" as nothing more than objects to be droned. Richard's choice of prisoners to dronify were usually the most serious serial murderers… as well as ANYBODY who ever sexually assaulted anybody ever. Prisoners on Angel Island came to a very quick (and reasonable) assumption that Richard had a particular bias against rapists. And given his powers, NOBODY wanted to be on Richard's bad side.
It wouldn't take long for him to rise in the ranks to obtain the title of "Head Warden" about 2 years after the prison opened. With his power and successful occupation as Head Warden, all seemed to be good for him… but despite what he wanted to believe, it wouldn't be the end of his troubles or his inner demons haunting and influencing him…

This is the beginning of a new series, but much darker than my usual fare. This is a pretty hard M, discussing things like rape and abuse pretty thoroughly and seriously. Richard is far from your average Solgaleo OC, and you'll see more of him and other OCs to come.
I sincerely hope you will give your feedback as I work on the next story.
