The sound of rain hitting the window had woken the sleeping child up.

He looked beside him; to his bedside table. His clock read 7:26 AM. Four minutes before his alarm. He sat up and swung his legs off of the side of the bed. He stood up and walked across the room to his closet. He grabbed some clothes and walked over to his mirror. He stared deep into his reflection. Will he ever be anything but that monster?

He shook his head and changed. He was walking out the door when he looked back to the mirror and saw him. Well, Yes he did see himself. But he saw the demon. The demon did not possess him like you would think. He is the demon. You see, In this world there are many levels of royalty. Todd was apart of one of the highest levels. Also one of the richest. He was the oldest child, therefore the heir of the throne. He was the family perfect. His family represented owls. Funny, eh? He delts with the dark arts at around age 11. He didn't realise what he was doing, his father had showed it to him.

How would he know he would turn into a demon?

That's besides the point. He really ever was taken control by it anymore.

He was snapped back to reality when he heard a knock on his door. It had to have been his father.

"Yes, father?"
"Come, Come, son. There is much to do today" His father said to him while waving him out into the Hall.

They were walking in the Hall when his father spoke up.
" You have been engaged today."
"Excuse me?" He asked, thinking he heard his father wrong.
"You have been engaged." He said, more sternly this time.

That was the day the abuse started. His wife ended up being awfull. She would verbally abuse him. He, However had a big enough ego that it wouldn't affect him. He was fine with it all. He only had one task, Have a child to be heir. At age 18 he found out his wife was pregnant. After that they split up without divorcing. They both decided it would be too much work, but she continued to live in his palace. Annoying, right? Well it was for the next 23 years. His son was married with children, and he had gotten into some.. Trouble with the dark arts. Todd had annoyed one too many people with power. He was corrupted. 25%. His skin turned pure white, he had multiple eyes, all pure white. And his mouth and nose vanished. Scary, huh? That's not the end. He had black cracks all over his skin. Almost tear like streams going down his cheeks. His father had been corrupted years earlier. He had taught him about it. That meant nothing now though. He was dead to Todd.

Todd had discovered someone.
A witch.
She was kind to Todd, her name was Asher. She was a teacher of some sort, he never cared too much to find out. She was together with a man he didn't know the name of. She listens to him. She understood him. She had helped him with the owl.
