When I was a child, I used to think the monsters Mom used to tell me in her fairytale stories were scary. But now that I've seen the real world, I've realized humans are much scarier. There's an evil king turning innocent people into demons, villages literally dying from lack of resources, and the only way to solve this is an eighteen year old girl who doesn't even know her real identity yet. Well, that's going to change real soon because unless the world wants an army of controlled demons ruling the world, someone's got to stand up. Cover: @LadySnowdrop [HIATUS]
