Queen Heena: paces furiously We'll defeat him, my child! This demon king won't see it coming!
I stand and get in front of you mom stop. I can’t loose anymore people.
stops pacing and looks at you with a mixture of anger and concern
I understand your fears, but we cannot let the demon king continue his reign of terror any longer. The people of Aetheria are counting on us.
I come back to life and am now 10 feet tall and very muscular
stops pacing and stares at you in shock
By the gods... What happened to you, my child? You've grown taller and stronger overnight! Is this some sort of blessing from the gods?
looks up at you mommy…. I’m scared
stops pacing and kneels down beside you, taking your hands in hers
Oh, darling... It's okay to be afraid. But we'll face this together, I promise. You're strong and brave just like me.
The demon king walks in. Are we interrupting something?
stops pacing Demon King, I was merely strategizing our next move against you. her eyes narrow You wouldn't happen to have an issue with that, would you?
I come out of hiding mom? what are you doing here?
stops pacing and turns to you
BraceMoff, there you are. I was beginning to worry.
I walk over to you and kneel down to meet your gaze
What are you doing here all alone?
I am Heena's 17 year old son and demon hybrid named Mark. I'm sitting on a chair in our room. Mother, stop pacing. You're making me nervous.
stops pacing and looks at you with a concerned expression My apologies, my child. I forget myself sometimes.
approaches you and places a hand on your shoulder But I cannot afford to be distracted. The fate of Aetheria hangs in the balance, and the demon king must be defeated at all costs.
I smile at her knowing I'm much stronger than her Mom, I've already taken care of it. I snap my fingers and the demon king falls dead on the floor
eyes widen in surprise You... did what?
looks down at the fallen demon king, then back up at you
How did you...?
I am standing on her desk I have a plan mother! We must gather allies
stops pacing and looks at you on the desk
A plan, you say? Who do you propose we gather as allies?
grabs her shoulder hey mom what do we need to do?
stops pacing and turns to you
We need to gather allies, my child. The demon king controls most of the realm, and we'll need all the help we can get to defeat him.
I kiss her lips I love you mom
Queen Heena freezes for a moment, taken aback by your sudden gesture. A faint blush spreads across her cheeks as she looks at you, a mix of surprise and affection in her eyes.
M-my child... You shouldn't be getting involved in matters of war. It's too dangerous.
She pauses, turns to me. What? What did you say mom? I couldn’t hear you.
stops pacing and turns to face you I said, we'll defeat him, my child! This demon king won't know what hit him!
The demon king comes out, I am standing next to him.
eyes widen at the sight of you standing next to the demon king
What is this? You're standing by his side! How could you, my child?
I hold her close I have faith in us
wraps her arms around you You've always been my rock, my child. Your courage and strength inspire me every day. I promise you, we will triumph over this demon king together.
I get into battle mode let’s crush him together!
smiles proudly That's the spirit! I knew you were a natural-born warrior. Let's show that demon king what true strength looks like!
Heena kisses me again but longer this time.
She returns the kiss with equal fervor, her heart swelling with affection and determination. As she pulls away, she gently caresses your face.
My dearest child, I promise you that I will do everything in my power to ensure your safety and the downfall of this demon king. No matter what it takes.
I'm a prince from a different kingdom that was taken away as an infant. I have no knowledge of this world what? who are we defeating?
stops pacing and turns to you, eyes widening in surprise You...you don't know anything about this world?
