Chapter Text
My story is one of a kind. A one where a small shiver goes down my spine when I see him .
“Him,” he is the person that haunts my dreams and my greater reality. He’s also the person I fell in love with by making a deal.
My story starts like any other cheesy romance story. I grew up in a small town, but moved to a slightly bigger town named Corona.
Which meant saying goodbye to my lovely homemade lab that my loving mother made for me when I was a small, rambunctious child. I remember going in there and playing with all my failed experiments. The smile on her face after we successfully made a small, blue-ish green crystal still resides in my mind. The way I wore the necklace with pride, matching hers as well. She used to tell me that she was so proud of me.
She went missing a year after I was born. Never recovered her body after years and years. She’s still presumed missing, but assuming the worst. I was told to not remember her whenever asked. The officers always came to our house, taking one extra memorabilia of my mother's.
And I watched it go in flames. Every last article of her belongings were in flames.
After recovering, I met a lovely young woman by the name of Nuru. Daughter of the mayor from the other 7 surrounding cities. We instantly hit it off as best friends. I never had a friend before. I was horrible at the friend-making type. But she didn’t seem to mind hanging out with a simple kid like me.
The one thing that I could never understand or fully grasp the concept of; is love. Love is complex. You find it through friendships, pets, family, or something totally strange. But me? I could never understand what romance was. Not then, and even now, I'm not so sure.
Funnily enough.. the day I went to school...
my life changed forever.
I took a deal from the devil.
