XXXXXTHEY CAME TO THE RESCUE
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FROM A WAR RAVAGED KINGDOM a King and Queen arose from the ashes of war victorious and bloodied, the other kingdoms crumbling to their knees and being overtaken within days. The kingdom was filled with joy as it seemed they would be the ones to perish as their kingdom was small compared to the kingdoms they warred with, that is until their king and queen returned. Their beloved rulers returned completely different people, a sinister and evil presence surrounded them; no longer were they the kind and gentle rulers they had grown to know and love, they became dark and intimidating because of something evil they had done, forever twisting their hearts.
THEY SOLD THEIR SOULS TO THE DEVIL for victory in all their battles to come, and for their kingdom to reign supreme over all. Their kingdom expanded and their victories over enemies were many, but some kingdoms they had no qualms with stayed neutral in all of this. These kingdoms were of a peaceful kind, with kind and wise rulers that were smart enough to avoid the chaos that came with this evil kingdom and its allies.
BUT SADLY, the kingdom was not safe from other kingdoms who in last ditch attempts tried to take over the peaceful nations' supply of warriors and land, trying to gain strength in the war and the peaceful kingdoms were soon to crumble. The King and Queen came in at the last second offering their help with sly smiles and a simple contract; 'Said kingdom must put their utmost trust in the Kingdom of Vale with a token of allegiance.' A binding agreement that would keep the two countries allied forever after this war. Many signed thinking that they would be allied kingdoms, pledging their allegiance to one another, but sadly that was not the case.
YEARS HAD PASSED, and this dark kingdom that had become mammoth in size after years of conquering enemy kingdoms, which in turn caused an all around peace. Vale keeping their contracts with the kingdoms they had signed with which happened to only be six, it was then that the King and Queen decided that it was time for these six kingdoms to fulfill their end of the contract after being kept safe during the great war.
WEDDING RINGS WOULD BE IN ORDER seeing as the Kings and Queens of these allied kingdoms signed what was actually an arranged marriage contract to the Crowned Princes' and Princesses' of Vale. The Kings and Queens grew outraged at such a contract but sadly they could do nothing but comply in order for their kingdoms to continue existing. With heavy hearts they sent their heirs to fulfill the contract of marriage, and sadly you were one of them so welcome to the Royal Castle of Vale.
SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT THOUGH, you noticed they slept during the day along with most of the city, not rising until the sun has set. They did not eat suppers with you, and they kept you confined in your own room during the day, albeit some of you needed to be as you were dead set on not getting married. The Royal Family happen to be unbelievably pale and beautiful, then you realized something, they are as the rumors tell.
THEY ARE DEMONS.and you were to wed whichever one had chosen you as their partner. You see, the parents aren't as evil as you think, they still hold a tender heart for their children, whom shall be damned too unless they find love in someone other than themselves. You dear, are the key to either their Salvation or Damnation, let us see what will your and their decisions be!
WEDDING BELLS AND SPOKEN VOWS sounded out; choices made. Tension remained or faded with time as first hours, then days, then weeks and months passed for the new royal couples. The humans of the kingdoms were welcoming of the Valeians (although some needed to be reminded that it was the will of their own king and queen that this be done), but not quite all. A new religion has emerged from the dark alleys and dreary warehouses - a doctrine of hatred and desire to purge the demons from their kingdoms and all of the world. Practitioners are careful to abide by the law and remain hidden, easing their silvered lies into unknowing ears.
ON THIS DAY, nearly seven months since the contracts fulfilled, a full moon rises. A dreaded breeze crawls across the lands and those still awake at this hour swear to hearing faint conversations between unseen and unknown voices, just out of range to be heard clearly yet distinct enough to definitively be heard; there is no source for the voices despite the very best of efforts to discover it. Something is about to happen - something that has never been, or shall be ever again...
THE FIRES OF WAR are stoked once more - history repeats itself with a single man against the world. The shrouded man holds a large, ancient tome to his breast as his feet steadily take him towards Vale with confidence. His minions are already within the kingdoms of the humans, ready to announce the invasion of this world and send it into chaos again. He seeks what lies underneath the Vale; an ancient power long forgotten even to the Demon King. What will the Allied Kingdoms do: aid this man to seize the Vale from the demons and repay the blood of ancestors spilled by their hands and shatter the peace contract, or come to the defense of the Vale to preserve this peace?
