There is an island dim and grim,
Which host the vile villains and their kin.
Locked away, punished, and rotting,
Sad, pathetic, thou ponder with longing.
In a land of fairytales, a king and queen, longing for a child, are blessed with a beautiful princess. Their joy is boundless, and the entire kingdom rejoices - until villains arrive, unleashing calamity and destroying their happiness. As is customary in such tales, the villains are defeated, and the fairy godmother, aided by twelve good fairies, banishes them to a grim sub-dimension called "The Devil's Paradise" - a desolate island where the most wicked souls rot in isolation.
But the story doesn't end with a happy-ever-after for everyone. The villains, though punished, have children of their own - innocent offspring burdened by the sins of their parents. These children, desperate for love and recognition, grow up surrounded by danger, raised among murderers and fiends, enduring a life of unjust hardship.
A pardon may yet be the key to breaking this cycle of inherited suffering.
