The vast forests of pine and spruce trees swayed in the chilled winds,

The dark fog laid over the cursed forest, hiding any predator behind  its unsettling feel

But near the forest, over the deadly fields of tall grass that could hide anything and everything

Laid a rather quiet capital, although the streets of the capital were often busy,

Especially at night,

Although,  yes, most would sleep, those who stay up past sunset, dare not talk,

As the fear of the forest demon is far too strong in the people's hearts

The castle laid on the highest point of the capital, as it held the royal family

The royal family wouldn't often leave their castle until a ceremony comes around, or the royal guard battle begins

You can often see the Queen and her daughters attend the ceremonies

Except for one,

A prince, the next one in line to the throne

As he was the eldest of the siblings he had

He has never been seen before by the common people or the upper class, except by those who work in the place

There were multiple rumors as to why the prince never left his future castle,

But most were incorrect

"Remember, do not leave these castle walls"

A long-haired woman said as she sat by a fireplace, brushing a child's hair on a beautiful velvet couch

Draped with soft skins of animals, half of the skin hanging off the end of the couch

The child, sitting on a bench,

That looked out of the window, draped with see thru curtains, with the view of the curious forest

"... Why shouldn't I?"

The child weakly asked his mother

The mother stopped for a moment and only sighed out of difficulty

"because it's dangerous "

"But why? ... You go out with my siblings all the time...- why not me?"

You could hear his voice break as he asked the question, as the mother's expression only became more difficult and conflicted

"it's dangerous for you. You're the next in line, so there are people who wish to take that from you. And if you wonder off, you just might walk into the forest"

She continued to make the boy's hair, now, a tad irritated by the constant questions

"... What's so bad about it?"

"there are monsters there. Creatures. They hide within the laid dark fog of the forest."

This only got the boy more curious.

"... Like... Demons? ..."

Bryan couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, they will try to make a deal with you, and get your soul for them to devour"

"..."

The boy only looked away from the forest, but as his mother was conveniently finished combing his hair
