1770 AD Venice, Italy: The Royal family has had a disappointment. The queen has had a secret lover and got pregnant by him. When the child was born the tyrannical king of the time had a plot to have him and the queen killed. This is where our story begins, a story of the Akuma Prince.

The queen had snuck out of the castle with her newborn son. She had to escape the king and keep her son alive. Her son was not just human. His father was a devil. A devil that the queen had fallen in love.

Yelling could be heard from the castle.

They must have found out I left, the queen thought, I have to get me and my son away from here.

The queen started to run into the forest as guards were sent out to look for her. The queen kept running and tripped on a root and fell down. The prince started crying and she tried to calm him down.

"Shh shh don't cry my prince." The queen rocked him.

"Over here, I hear something." A guard called out.

"Oh no." The queen continued running deeper into the forest.

She kept running until she ran into a clearing. The queen looked around the clearing.

"Come on, come on I need to escape." The queen said.

A pentagram appeared on the forest floor turning all the green around it into black and red. A devil came out of the pentagram.

"Hello my love." The devil said.

"Takashi you're here." The queen ran up to her devil lover.

"How's our son?" Takashi stoked the baby's head.

"He's good." She smiled.

"So what are you doing running in the forest with our baby?" Takashi asked.

"The king wants us dead, can you please help us."

"I can help our son, but you have to come to hell with me." Takashi stated.

"What about our son."

"He will be alive but you will not see him grow up, one day he shall become king and rule this land." Takashi prophesied.

"King?" The queen said "My little Masaru will become king?"

"And he shall be the greatest king ever."

"Ok I will go to hell with you." The queen put Masaru down on the ground and went to Takashi.

"Foolish mortal." Takashi stabbed the queen in her stomach with his claws as she fell onto the ground bleeding excessively. "You'll come to hell with me, you'll just be going there dead."

Takashi disappeared as the queen looked at her son with blood coming out of her mouth. She tried to reach for her son but couldn't. Just then a light shined down as a man with wings came down.

"Your son shall indeed become king, before that he shall suffer great heartache and grow up as an orphan." The man pulled out a sword and stuck it into the ground next to Masaru "He shall have this sword, the swords name is Clarent." The man disappeared.

18 years later...

A man in a black cloak and pants, a white shirt and orange hair was running from a group of thugs chasing him.

"Come back here Masaru." One of them said.

Masaru laughed "You can't catch me."

The group kept chasing after Masaru until her stoped at the edge of a building.

"We got you now." Another one of the thugs said.

"Do you?" Masaru pulled out Clarent.

"Ooh a sword." One taunted.

Masaru pointed the tip of the sword at them and shoots fire out of it like a flamethrower. All of the thugs jumped off the roofs and ran away.

"Told you you wouldn't catch me." Masaru chuckled.

Masaru jumped off the building and walked to a guild.
