Chapter Text
Once upon a time in a land far away, or more like down below, there lived a demon prince. The prince’s name was Thomas Lucitor, or as he preferred to be called, Tom, a (roughly) half-demon and half-mewman prince of the Underworld. The only heir to the throne, he is the Demon Prince Tom.
Prince Tom was about to come of age, in the following day to be exact. The past few days, he has been diligently completing his princely tasks and practicing his swordsmanship. All to show his Father King that he was ready. And, he was honestly more than 'just ready'. Tom was dying to be sent away.
When the awaited day finally came, this very prince was found excitedly rushing about the castle corridors. All of the prince's efforts finally bore fruit. His Father King finally acquiesced for him to begin his rite of passage (to adulthood). Tom was going to be sent on a journey to the world above.
“Go forth, son! Venture to the world above! Save damsels in distress. Slay a great beast or a dragon." said King Dave Lucitor as tears pool in his eyes, yet his voice remain steady. "Find a beauty you fancy and woo her! And if you're ready, bring her home!” Queen Wrathmelior, at his side, gently caressed his back as she also wished their son safe travels.
“Come on, Dad!” Ever the caring son, Tom coaxed his father with a promise, “It’ll be fine. I’ll be back before you know it!”
After finally setting the saddle on Skeleton horse, whom he favoured most among all the palace mounts, they finally set off. Carrying a map, a bit of supplies, the armor he wore, his weapon and a great big smile, he rode out of the castle gates and into the great fissure on the earth above.
Demon Prince Tom is finally starting his own adventure. Oh, how long had he been patiently waiting for this day to come!
As he traveled through the tunnel into the great unknown, he recalls the tales his father read to him before bedtime. Tales of former Lucitors rescuing damsels in distress, wooing great beauties, conquering foreign lands or slaying a great beast or two.
On his own adventure, Tom also wished to experience the world above to the fullest.
Hopefully, he'd also come across a fair bit of company; the lady of the lake, a woodland fairy, a powerful witch, a fair princess, a great dragon, or just someone to happily and lovingly spend the rest of eternity with.
Yes, our dear Prince Tom was of demon descent, partially so. Yet, his whole being was nothing short of romantic.
Or maybe, he has just been reading too many fairy tales in his spare time.
