       The man paced back and forth in his room. Even though he wasn't old in age a tired expression was already drawn on his face. He'd tried to prevent this from happening in any way he could, he'd tried to stop demons from entering into the mortal realm. But even being the king of all the magical realms can't stop fate from taking its course. He couldn't years ago either when he lost his family.

       "Bring me the duke." The man said to his butler waiting politely by the door.

       "Of course. Right away your majesty."

       A minute passed and the duke appeared hopping through the door.

"What was so important that you had to interrupt my mid-afternoon hop in the park." Said the duke to the king.

Turning away the man rubbed his temples sensing a ghost of a headache slowly intensifying. "Please, Henry. I don't need any fights between us today. On the contrary. I need your help."

"Can't you just tell me what you need tonight at dinner?"

"No. Have you heard the news going around the realms?"

"Do you mean the one about Mary's lamb climbing the beanstalk? Or the one about the cat who was frightened by the mouse? Oh, I know, the one about the drunken knights dancing for the fly."

"Be serious Henry." Said the man once again massaging his temples. "I'm talking about the jail break. Do you have any idea where they are headed? Don't answer that, your bound to say Disney World and that ain't it. They're going to give a visit to someone very special to you."

       The king knew he had Henry's full attention, it was obvious the way Henry's face fell from a smirk to a stone cold expression.

"We can't let that happen. We have to do something! Have you done something? Do something!"

"I've already designed an amazing plan. I need you to go to the mortal realm and disguise yourself as a human to protect her. I will come later."

"That's it? That's the great master plan? Gee, I hate to break it to you buddy but you've lost your touch. And what would I be doing in the mortal realm." Henry asked in an offended tone.

"Well first of all that's where most of the demons are, second of all you will be a servant to a prince. A butler to be more precise."

"A what? Oh no I refuse to do that horrifying job. No offense."

"Non taken." Said the butler waiting patiently by the door.

"Why can't you go. All I'll be hearing the entire day would be 'Henry do this, Henry do that, Henry, Henry, Henry!'"

"You know I can't. I have an entire kingdom to watch over. And besides, they won't call you that." Explained the king. "Because your name will be Milo."
