Beauty and the Beast

Prologue

Upon once a time in the hidden heart of Galilee, there lived a handsome prince of demons in his beautiful castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was selfish and unkind. He taxed the town's people to fill his castle with the most beautiful objects and his parties with the most beautiful people.

Then one night, an unexpected intruder arrived at the castle, seeking shelter from the bitter storm. As a gift, she offered to the prince a single rose. Repulsed by her haggard and plain appearance, the prince turned the woman as making fun of her. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, beauty is found within. When he dismissed her again, the old woman's outward appearance melted away to reveal the Goddess of Beauty and Love Venus of the 12 Gods of Olympus and one of the followers of the Father God. She was a highly attractive and very beautiful woman with pearl white-colored skin and light pink eyes with long, thick eyelashes and dark pink eyeshadow. Her hair was strawberry blonde long and wavy like the waves of the beautiful ocean.

She wore a white gown as it was dazzled by the light surrounding her while having golden jewelry. The prince begged for forgiveness and mercy, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart. As punishment, she transformed him into a full-blood, hideous beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there. 

As days bled to years, the prince and his servants were forgotten by the world, for the Goddess Venus had erased all the memory of them from the people they loved. But the rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose.

If he could learn to love another and earn their love in unlit his 2021 year before the last petal fell, the spell would be broken. If not, he would doom to become a pureblood demon beast for eternality.

As the centuries passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope, for who could ever love a beast?
