User blog:GoldenDiva/Armistice Asylum: Taken Demon

The lady collecting those accursed pages of the 'Tome' had left the city, with her new set of pages, wondering where was the one that made those abominations. She pondered why would anyone try to undo what had the current Demon Lord had done to stow the tide of death of suffering.

Lost in her thoughts, she almost didn't notice that the surrounding area was darkened by the blighted light of two flickering pages. Taking her time seeking them out, they are eventually found in the ruins behind a waterfall. The corrupting aura of hatred irradiating from the pages compelled the reader to cleanse and seal the place from anyone to avoid a leak.

Later on, the 'Tome with the two new pages were over the mini-table, next to a kettle and a cup of vanilla tea. These pages, however, were special. Instead of the usually white page, these two were blue. It described a particular 'Taken'. She sat down with a sigh, sipping her tea and breathing calmly as the pages translated to mandarin. She opened the book to the two new pages...

You are Demon.

''Lieutenant of the dark army. Leader of your own coven. Ruler pulling the threads behind.''

You have been t̩̎ͬ͂̒ͭ͛͋ã̫̙͎̠̝̳ͨ̅ͩk̯̝̬̈̈́ͤ̏e͔͓̭ͭͧͩͥ͊͊ͧn̫͙͚̦̥͕̽͐͐̂͌̽̒.

''Set off your puppets. No need to conjure a contract. You have power now.''

''Why do you hold your contract so dearly? What do you hope do get out of those. Do you not see it is corrupted?''

''You used to manipulate entire towns into self destruction by civil war. Drove emperors to ruin and madness by giving them more than they could bargain for. And then, you took your payment, their souls to do as you wished, as it was signed in the contract.''

''You were a seasoned veteran. Resting alongside you sister that was the ruler, you checked to see if an intruder stalked the realm you lived in. Because of changes, you hoped for one. And so, a lone man came in the border of the realm.''

You charged at him to affirm your control, because you loved your sisters, to join those that would get up in the hierarchy.

''But, this man tore your contract, bested you in combat, the physical and arcane. And then, he made you see...''

''Your very nature was changed, corrupted by the current Demon Lord. She enfeebled it, preventing you and your kin from ever attaining true power from the mortals. She sliced off your threads and presented you with her own brand. Upon making contracts with men, you think to be in control, but she has cast off you absolute domination, reduced you to trivial things that masters should never do to their bound slaves. And, with this contract, you are as much a slave to the man as he is to you.''

Your kin knew that, yet they still sent you to your doom, to be a slave to common man.

"Not even they were safe from his tainted hand." the reader regards after reading those two pages. To be concluded
