Chapter 9: Something New
It's been five years since I've been disowned by my family, but I've gotten making contracts with mortals down as well as control of all my demon abilities. I'm drawn to an odd word, a world where only darkness and corruption live. Sadly though I wasn't called to this world by anyone, I simply happened to find it while wondering from world to world.
I go from city to city playing harmless little pranks on people, just to get a good laugh. I have noticed that my since of humor has darken since becoming a demon as well as my outlook on certain things. I learn later on that the cities are actually known as kingdoms, I ask a young woman a simple question with no strings attached.
"Miss, what is the name of this world?" I ask politely.
"This is the World of Corruption, are you new to this world?" She asks me.
"I'm just passing through, but I thank you for information." I say and bid her farewell as I disappear into the shadows.
I make my way to another kingdom to play pranks on it's residence, though I find this kingdom odd since it seems to be normal unlike all the other ones I've seen so far. Instead of playing pranks I observe the people, I feel a ping of pain in my heart when I see people that look just like my family. But they look much younger, almost as if they're children that are still under the guidance of their parents.
I take the picture that I took from my old room out from the shadows and look at it, the memory of being happy comes back to me as well as tears from the very night when I was disowned. I'm hidden from site so that no one can see me, I'm pulled out of my thoughts when I hear a commotion. I see a man dressed as if he were someone of nobility fall to the ground, blood pooling around him. I also see someone running off, hiding in the crowd of confused and scared people.
Guards come running, trying to figure out what's going on. By the time they do, the killer is long since gone. A young boy falls to his knees crying over the man's death, I guess that is the man's son. I'm unable to see the boy's face but that doesn't bother me.
The boy orders the guards to find the killer, they do as they're told. A few days later a funeral is held for the man that was killed who I quickly learned was the king of the kingdom.
"So that boy must be his son or some other relative."
The son comes to the alter to say a few words about the king, his identity is a complete shock to me. There standing before the alter is a younger version of Nash, the pain from that very night comes back to me. I don't pay that much attention to what the young Nash says, but I do catch the part where he says the king was his father.
Days after the funeral of the king the queen dies of a broken heart, a funeral is held for her and shortly after that Nash's coronation to be king happens. I hide in the crowd of people that are watching his coronation, I don't care much for what's going on and go to hide in the shadows.
