Curses

Prologue

In many fables and fairy-tale, it is quite easy for us to tell the villains from the heroes. The characters we should cheer for from the ones we should shun. The "good guys" are clear as are the "bad guys".

But seldom is life so simple, for as one grows they begin to realize that the lines often blur. Not only that but oftentimes those who are painted as villains become so due to wrongs which plague their pasts. Heartaches. Loss. Betrayal. All of which can shape a person, or in the case of this story, a demon.

Just like Earth, Hell has its favorite tales and stories. You may be familiar with the tales regarding the feared Radio Demon and his rise to power. You may have heard older tales of Lucifer and his love, Lilith. How they built the many cities of Hell and how they divided the territories. You may even have heard more recent tales of the princess and her hotel. But those, dear reader, are not the focus of this story.

Rather, the tale I shall share with you if you would allow me the honor is the origin stories of the overlord group known as the "Triple V Gang". In the odd case you are new to Hell and do not know them, they are as follows:

Velvet. Doll demon and specialist in all things social media.

Vox. Television demon and owner of one of Hell's most popular television studios.

And for the center of this little tale, Valentino. Moth demon and owner of the top adult film studio of Hell.

Now, you may have heard fables before of how these three came to power, but I think you will find that those tales are not quite fully accurate. For there are secrets kept by every demon in Hell. Parts of their pasts only known to those closest to them. And often, these details are not the prettiest.

So, dear reader, I shall say this before we begin. I cannot promise you a happy ending to this tale. I will not you this is a light and happy journey for our three main characters, for that would be untrue and my goal is to reveal the truth, not hide it. This journey will hold sorrow, pain, betrayal, and much more that may just change your view of the seemingly glamourous lives of the overlords.

That said though, I can also tell you that this story is one of love, kindness, and in a strange way, family. I can promise you a story about a bond between three people who needed that support more than any of them will admit.

If you chose to read on, then please do so with an open mind. Allow yourself to meet the Triple V Gang in a new light that you have likely never seen them in before. For you shall see them as they were, not as they are. And believe me when I tell you that the overlords you know now were very different in their pasts.

Are you ready, dear reader? Are you comfortable?

Good. Then without further ado, let us begin.
