Upon a misty mountain, where the sunlight barely touches a specific spot,  a castle stands with a cliff behind it. The palace was dark, with statues of a variety of demons, it's marbles were dark and all of it's statues were extremely detailed, it's gardens huge and full of red and white roses, fountains were majectic, it's halls long and dark, without anything but wallpaintings of demon wars and summoning ceremonies. In the furthest room form the west side of the palace , whose door is covered with blood and claw marks sleeps a monster. The beast twisted and turned as it slowly began to wake up, it's body slowly stood up and went straight to a large body mirror, he looked himself and sigh in agression. He had large black feathered wings  instead of hands and his body from the waist up to the neck seemed like that of a human but had markings from it's countless battles, his lower half was covered in black fur, his feet were that of a black panthers and his tale was of that of a snake. His face had two piercing red eyes, feautures that seemed godly, his mouth had two pointy fangs feeled with poison, his ears were pointy with an golden earing hanging from the left side, he had a large twisted horn in his head, it was black just like the long silky hair that waved as he moved around.                                                                                           He gazed at his reflection and the memory of his mother, Lilith, the demon mother, poked in his mind. She had called him a success and her most beloved of all children, though her love was anything but motherly like, she had tried to seduce him countless times in the past into making love with her, however to him she wasn't attractive at all, he was used in the beauty of the female demons and that of a succubus.                                                                                                                       He cared little about love, what he always wanted most was to fight, to kill and savor the pleasure of death and carnage, he wanted to hear screams of terror and suffering... and he did. He spent over 3.000 years killing and torturing, now he was bored of it, his own father, the devil had even forbidden him to return to hell in fear that he might turn against him, the other demons gave him the title "King of Beasts" and were forming lines to take him down and steal his title. And as someone could guess from all the blood and corpses he had around, none of the were succesfull up to this day. But even with that he no longer wanted to fight, at least not with the same passion he did centuries ago. He knew why Lilith was so persistant with him, lust was a powerfull emotion that was driving her to madness and he knew that madness could be blissfull, he never cared about love or any emotion directed to romance, he had mated with other demons in the past but truth be told it was more like a momentarely seduction, now he wished for something that would last a little bit longer, for a year or maybe more, he himself couldn't determent the time. What he knew was that it was about time he actually had a successor, female demons had the power to selectively stay pregrant unlike mortal women, and even this female demons were afraid to bear the child of a beast such as him. He wasn't worried though, he was going to have a woman as his own, one way or another. With this in his mind he went to the large balcony of his bedroom and closed his eyes as he felt the cold winter air of the mountain consume him, he never had a problem with the cold and since he couldn't get sick or die he never really cared. He positioned himself and opened his wings as wide as possible, with a fast jump and a powerfull swing of these gigantic wings he found himself flying, he felt the air pressure for a mere second before become stable during his flight, he was quick and carefull to stay untoticed by any nearby mortals, he had enough trouble with thr demons, he wasn't in the mood to provoke humans in this time of year, winter was his favorite season, he wanted to spent it in peace for now. He soon found a small hat in the middle of the forest, it was near the largest river in the area and since he saw smoke coming out of the chimney he guessed someone was in there. He landed down without a sound, his paws touched the grass and he briefly recalled a recent kill of his, it wasn't important. He approached the hat and took a small peak from the window, he then froze in amusement. Inside this pitiful building was a young female with beauty similar to that of the succubus queen, though in this case, the female wasn't almost naked. He smiled and came to a decision without thinking any possible problem.

- I found my woman. He whispered and with a huge crash he smashed the wall and entered the hat. Before the girl could even realized she fell in the floor sensless. Her fate had been sealed.
