An Untold Love Story

//written by Stixx

Once upon a time in the land of kings and queens there was Walpurgis Kingdom. At the center of the land stood Hexen Castle, home to the young prince and his family. With every kingdom comes its plague. On the outskirts of the kingdom stood the castle of another. One single man lived within the castle by himself. The people of the land called him "Eater des Menschen", which translated to "Eater of Man", because when the man came into town someone went missing. The only thing they found of these people when they turned back up was their chewed up remains. The same thing happened to people who entered the castle without permission. They labeled the castle as Fleischesser Castle, translated to Flesh Eater Castle.

Though when the prince learned of the monstrosity terrorizing his kingdom and killing the people, he set out to end the creatures life. The encounter however didn't go as well as the prince had thought. The Eater des Menschen had killed all of the royal guards and poisoned the prince. He returned the prince to the castle with a note on the prince's chest telling the king he would remove the poison as long as Walpurgis agreed to leave his castle be. The king refused to agree leaving the prince ill as the king sent guards to kill the monster. Finally the princess that had fallen for the young prince arrived at Fleischesser and asked the man to remove the poison from her love. He agreed on two conditions, one being that she would owe him a favor and two being that she tell the kingdom of his real name, nothing more.

The young princess agreed and returned to the castle and did as she was told, completely unaware of the fact that she was followed by the ghoul. He made sure that she did as she was told then removed the poison from the young prince. He told the nurse that spotted him that he would need plenty of fluids to replenish the young prince fully. The poison he had injected into the young male was meant to dehydrate him until death. Since it has been almost a week since the poison entered the younger male's body it had worked better than he had thought leaving the prince nearing death faster than he expected which wasn't something Bruce wanted. He looked at the nurse and in the blink of an eye he was gone. Over the course of the next few days the prince recovered fully and there was peace in the kingdom. That was until another person went missing. The princess.

"Gather the guards and get me a horse. The Eater des Manschen will fall today," Jayce, the young prince, spoke out as he moved though the corridors of the castle. His father didn't object to him going out and hunting the beast that plagued their castle. Jayce was determined to kill the creature that took his best friend. He made his way out of the castle and down to the horse that the servants had prepared for him. The guards followed closer behind him to protect the prince and keep him safe since it was their job. The silver haired prince wasted no time mounting the horse and riding off towards Fleischesser Castle.

At Fleishesser castle, the princess the was tied to a chair that was at the main entrance to the castle, just awakening from being knocked unconscious. Her soft green eyes scanned the room in a panic as she struggled against the restraints and started to cry out for help but only for no one to hear her.

A dark haired male shook his head before stepping into the light. His multi colored eyes lit up in the light as he scanned over the princess only shaking his head. He sighed and put a gag in her mouth telling her to keep her mouth shut in German. He grinned as he heard the horses drawing closer to the castle. He shook his head and stood behind the princess awaiting the prince to enter.

Jayce kicked the front door open with his bow drawn back, arrow ready to fire at the creature. When he saw the princess he let the arrow fly letting it hit the creature through the center of the chest.

The larger dark haired male growled slightly before shaking his head. He ripped the arrow from his chest and threw it to the ground. "That was very uncalled for. She is unharmed but she isn't leaving, my prince. Your people ignored one simple request. I just wanted to be left alone. I take only twelve people a year to sustain life in myself. I could have slaughtered your entire kingdom but no. I take twelve fucking people out of a kingdom of millions. I try to go for the people that have the least so they aren't stuck suffering. I even return the remains for a proper burial. Yet you continue to try and kill me when I am trying to do is survive," he growled as he looked over the silver haired prince. "Not only do you try and kill me but you enter my house without permission. You go through my things and I don't take to kindly to that so yes I kill trespassers. All I am trying to do is live in fucking peace."
