There was a boy and a girl and they lived happily ever after, oh wait no they didn't. They were siblings and were being chased by a giant elk.
Hey, I'm Ezra Delvuax, and this is my messed up life.
I look over at my sister, she always has this "Why am I alive?"look on her face, yeah you know the look. You see, our dad is Mammon, one of the seven princes of hell (representing the seven deadly sins, he's greed.) Yeah... he took a big toll on our life. Like this ELK SPIRIT THAT HE SOMEHOW PEEVED- NOW IT'S ATTACKING US. But besides that, I have greedy qualities too... and as a demi-demon your parents biggest quality is your fatal flaw, the way you'll die.
"Ezra, I'm scared."My sister, Elisse, complained, her big green eyes made me want to give her all of my money, and I didn't even have any money!
At the moment, we were hiding inside a broken-up car in a junkyard, and it was only a matter of minutes until the elk broke down the doors. Soon, the elk did breaks open the door, I shield my sister... and a stabbing pain fills my leg, the elk had stabbed me with its antler.Wow, it ends here... soon, my sister shakes me.
"Ezra! EZRA PLEASE, PLEASE!"Elisse pleaded, shaking me harder.
You know that "myth" about your life flashing before your eyes? Yeah, guess it was true... My whole life was being projected in front of me like some kind of sick movie theater. My vision blurs for a bit before I pass out, huh, that was fast, not very painless though.
I opened my eyes, bright light burns them so I shut them tightly again.
"Sit up, I'm not gonna hurt you."A person with a stern voice tells me, I slowly sit up, cautiously opening my eyes.
"Hello, son of Mammon,"They give me a cup full of a...something. "Poison..?"I asked, you could never be sure when you're a child of a literal demon.
"You wish. It's a soothing tea, that nasty gash in your leg does not look good."The person nudges me, I sip the tea, but then look down at my leg. It's bandaged, but I can't say it's gonna heal anytime soon.
"Wait- Elisse? Where is she? Where's Elisse?!"I panic, looking around, I'm in an infirmary of some kind, people in nursing outfits walk around... but my sister was no where in sight.
"I had no time to rescue you, and the elk took her."
"YOU WHAT? MY- MY SISTERS GONE- AND- AND- An-"I stare down at my tea, yeah... it was calming me alright, but it also seemed to have drugged me. My eyelids get heavy, the person in front of me smirks, rule 1 of being the son of a demon prince:trust no one,especially random people that you barely know who just happened to save you from an elk.
When I wake up, I quickly unsheathe my knife, pointing it at the person.
"Woah, calm down."The person keeps their gaze on me, "The tea was to make you less... awake, you should thank me, Son of Mammon. You could've sensed that we had money in our pockets."The person chuckled, people around me laugh.
"I- I will! You'll see!"I stand up, nearly falling over. "Uhm- Where am I?"I asked, they person rolled their eyes.
"You're in the infirmary of camp Lucifer. Welcome to your new home, Son of Mammon."
