"The balance between good and evil must be kept at all times."
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~
The beings governing the universe since the beginning: Fate, Time, Love, Death, and Sin have witnessed a tremendous tilt on the scales to evil than there is to good. Years have passed and the mortal realm is now stained and influenced entirely of the seven deadly sins; Wrath, Pride, Envy, Lust, Greed, Sloth, and Gluttony.
However, that does not signify that they give a shite despite the thousands of warnings they failed to heed. If they are in power of the world, why shall they care anyways?
The superiors were troubled knowing the balance of the universe is not to be taken lightly at all, it can cause immense danger if they will not take action. Seeing that Hell possesses no true king, the superiors chose to propose a tournament for the Princes to win what all demons endlessly lust for... power.
"Whoever marries his true love first shall become the King of Hell."
Of course, the Seven Deadly Princes can never be in love! They feel disgusted with the bloody word itself! Over their dead bodies-- even if the blood of immortality flows in their veins. Perhaps, they are always willing to resort to desperate measures that does not involve the pathetic idea of the-most-ruthless-beings-of-hell-falling-in-love... Anything just to be appointed the King of Hell.
But there is a morbid twist with the tournament, one that surely made the impossible erm... shall I say more impossible? The one they should be bethrothed to must be pure and honorable-- someone who is almost non-existent in the filthy mortal realm and not much in the immortal realm either.
And most definitely, someone who is NOT their type.
Therefore, how the HELL are they suppose to conform to the superior's proposition? How far can their thirst control their fates?
After all, there is no such thing as too much power.
