You Reap What You Sow

Chapter 1 (King)

(My art. This is Damian)

You reap what you sow, was what went through 24 year old Damian's mind as he returned to his kingdom on that day and brought his parents back. That day, Leah, his little sister, and Samuel, his little brother, got to see their parents in quite a long time. As he thought this, he knew things weren't going to ever be normal again. Well, were they ever normal in the first place? The young king didn't know for sure, but what he did know was that he could finally see his now lover, Cliff, after a long many years. He sighed out as he fixed his cloak and necklace that was given to him. The cloak was a gift from Tom before he died, then the necklace was a gift from Cliff when they were younger. It was a beautiful amethyst that was cut into a diamond shape, and he always wore it.

As he stepped into the throne room, he saw his lover speaking to someone and he smiled softly. He looked different now. He had scars all over, including one over his eye, nose, and lips, then his build became stronger and his skin, tanner. He changed over the years, no longer that whimpy kid who barely did anything because of how weak he was. Now, however, he was strong and very smart. No one had been able to defeat him yet, and he'd like to keep it that way.
Though, Cliff soon noticed him and seemed completely shocked. A moment after, they were embracing and kissing each other's faces. They were overjoyed to be together in one another's presence again, and so they couldn't help their affection.
Although...a minute after they finished, Samuel came into the throne room, blank and creepy as always. He had short hair that barely reached his shoulders, and his eyes were like Damian's; silver with black sclera. His voice was low and disturbing, while his teeth were nightmarishly sharp and dangerous. He was short too, only 5'1" now and fully grown, so he remained shorter than their mother. It always amused Tord, truly.

Nonetheless, Samuel stared at them for a couple moments before sighing. "Welcome back, big brother. Everyone missed your presence but as I expected, they scarred you." Damian merely shrugged and smiled at his youngest sibling with a sort of brightness that it was painful to watch as Samuel merely glared.

"Stop smiling, asshole, you still have to catch up on training." Samuel hissed and made Damian frown. "What do you mean?" He had asked, only to get hit in the chest by Samuel. "To be king!" The youngest male yelled, making Damian flinch. So, after saying goodbye to his love, he left with Samuel and they went about all day doing things that were counted as training to be king again. It was pitying how hard Samuel tried, but even then, he didn't mind. He was his oldest sibling, so it's completely fine.

This peace, however, wouldn't last forever, as this world is still corrupted. There will never be true peace.
