prologue

Sprinting through the woods, one man and a smaller woman both run aside each other. The man was injured, while the woman was unharmed but had slight bruises. The injury the man suffered was a gash across his chest.

Ignoring the wound both of them kept running in till,They reached a Forest clearing.

Without warning the man fell to one knee. Without hesitation, the woman kept running until she ran out of sight of view.

From the forest four men in full silver plate armor. Each one of them brandished their swords at the man. A look of despair appeared on the man's face but it quickly changed to a grimace. "You bastards! You betray your future ruler!" He shouted as he ran his hand through his bag. "With this, your fates are sealed!" with his declaration he pulled out a batter scroll.

At this, the four men held their swords in a defensive position. "Come forth, answer my summons!." He shouted. Holding the scroll up to the sky, it began to flutter up in the air. In an instant red flames appeared on the scroll and in an instant, the flames were swallowed up by flames.

The flames swirled into a fiery sphere around one meter wide and one meter in height. The sight of the fireball made the men in plate armor hold their shields in front of them. Slowly the sphere of flames weathered away, from the center of where the fireball was there was a silhouette. The Moon's rays slowly uncovered the person's shadowy figure.

At first sight, the figure looked like a man but upon closer inspection, there were glaring animal characteristics. For instance, there were its two thick horns protruding crookedly.

Examining closer you could see its feet were bestial akin to a goat. The most glaring thing about its appearance was its arms. Instead of the average two arms, this creature had four in total. It has two on the right and two on the left. Lastly on its back were protruding bat-like wings.

The creature appeared to be stunned for a moment. However, with a slight chuckle itself, the creature opened its arms out wide. The creature formed a sinister grin. " ah! This must be the material world! How I anticipated this day!" he shouted for a moment. "Daemon!" the wounded man exclaimed. "Daemon! I'm your

summoner so listen to my commands and kill these men!"

The daemon's grin disappeared and he folded three of his four arms, while he placed his fourth arm on his chin. pondering what the man said, the daemon grimaced. "Mongrel, know your place." he said. The daemon stretched out his hand and instantly the man's arm was separated from his body. Blood sprayed from the man's arm causing him to cry out in pain.

"I don't take orders from a weakling," the daemon said. " You shall address me as lord, mongrel."

"Y-yes. Lord, I beg you to destroy these men." he said, visibly frightened.

"That's more like it, I hear your request and I will fulfill it."

With the daemon's ego quenched he followed through with the request. In the blink of an eye, all silver-plate men were instantly killed. Their demise was quick and painless, their bodies were severed into multiple pieces.

"I've done as you requested. Time for my payment." the daemon said.

"Wait! My lord, please hear my plead" the man begged " I come from the kingdom of Edenia. My princess and I were betrayed by the knights we trusted and the princess is only. She fled past me when the knights caught up with us. Please I beseech you to protect her. She is alone and afraid."

The men's requests intrigued the daemon. The daemon felt a connection because he too had been betrayed.

"So betrayal. I've changed the contract. So in favor of your final request will protect your princess." the daemon said. "But doing so you will contribute your body and soul."

A single tear escaped the man's eyes. His last thoughts were of his family and the kingdom he loved. One thought stuck out from the many, it was his time with his beloved princess. The memories of her only grew stronger as he thought about her. If only I had more time with her.

The man's emotions only made devouring his soul even better. His sweet emotions of lost and unrequited love were side appetizers. If the man's emotions were food then the daemon would be an eater of such things. Though this was his first time he instinctively knew what to do.

Eating the souls of the men in silver armor and the man's. The daemon merges his spiritual being with man's soulless corpse giving him a physical body.

" Ahh. This is amazing! I can feel and smell everything." he said in excitement. "I'm going to enjoy this body. I'm going on a rampage where nobody will be safe. Men women and children are all going to serve me."

The joy of being in the physical world overwhelmed the Daemon. Joys of hearing, seeing, smelling, and touching thrilled the daemon to no extent. If he could he would have burst with satisfaction.

But before he could he remembered the promise he made. Reeling himself he focused on the princess he had entrusted to him.

" I wonder where she wandered off to?"
