Nikolas was odd from birth, born with an unusual affliction. For thirteen years of his life, he was the root of his parents' grievances. A monstrosity, they called him. One day, a "crow" comes to visit, gruesomely murdering Nikolas's parents before his very eyes. Unfortunately, the demon fails to kill Nikolas, instead leaving him with a parting gift. A curse. This curse may hold the power necessary to slay Crow- but may also turn Nikolas into the monster his parents always saw him as along the way.
