《Prince of Madness》 Damien the 3rd Prince ( prologue) The City of Jaquebei A full moon envelopes the night as the ¡°City of Cries¡± sleeps ever-so soundly. But, if one was to pay attention, a faint but sure sound would radiate the city which earned it its name. ¡±Arghhhhhhhhhhh¡± In the deepest most darkest depths of the Dungeon of the Kalenjue Palace lies a boy, no more than 14 years old, screaming almost incomprehensible cries whilst clawing his eyes. ¡±Help!!!!!!!!!!¡±-young boy ¡±please.....¡¯sob¡¯ just someone hel-¡°- young boy ¡±Shut up!!!!¡±-young boy ¡±no!no!no!no!no!no!no!no!no!no!no!no!no!¡±- young Boy *** ¡°Arghhh!!!!¡± I awake to screams flooding my brain. My name is Jaques Kilebrin, the Emperor of the Great Adar Empire. I was crowned when I was 15 and effectively conquered the Continent and united all of Adar under a single banner in my 45 year rein. I met my wife Caroline when I was 42 and the gods were gracious enough to bring 4 children into my life, Jasmine, Kanius, Julian and Damien. My first child Jasmine is the pinnacle of beauty and could make countless nobles fall under her charm, she was all I could hope for as a Father. My second child Kanius is a son worthy to brag about to my subordinates, kind but firm, he has all the qualities needed to rule my Empire. My third child Julian is a lost case, he¡¯s never shown emotions to anyone but his family and manipulates all he can, and that brings us down to the fourth, Damien.Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. When the Empire learnt of a 3rd prince they celebrated for 3 days and 3 nights for their Emperor had brought another Kilebrin into the world. But when the child was born, he was different. Born with hair as white as the clouds and eyes as red as blood, he was shunned by the kingdom as the problem child of the Royal Family. But none the less our family accepted him as the son he is, not the monster he was made out to be. But then, on his eighth birthday, something happened, something that still baffles us to this day, he screamed. We asked if something was the matter but he didn¡¯t answer, he just kept screaming. He screamed on and on, day and night and finally for the first time in two years whispered a faint word unknown to this day to my wife Caroline When he was 10 my Wife, due to unknown reasons, ended her life. Due to this my 3 other children began to scrutinise him, blaming him for Caroline¡¯s death I, fearing for my Damien¡¯s, locked him in a special room in the deepest most darkest depths of the Kalenjue Dungeon He rarely ate, he rarely slept , he just screamed and soon the screaming turned to begging, the begging to crying and the crying to whimpering and then, for the first time in 4 years he stopped. I run towards the dungeon still in my night gown, not caring for the face I am showing to my servants and knights. I open up a large metal door and inside sat a boy, no more than 14 with shoulder length white hair and eyes as red as the blood surrounding his body dripping from his eyes ¡±Hello Father¡± God (chapter 1) Light Darkness Love Hate Beginning End Life Death All that is seen All that can be seen I have seen.

Last I remember I was at the ball celebrating my birthday with Mother, Father, Jasmine, Kanius and Julian. ¡± Your mind collapsed ¡° It what? ¡± In this world everyone is born with a certain amount of Magicka, or Mana. This determines their talent and the more powerful spells they can cast. You¡¯re a natural talent, too much really, you were born with so much Mana that it split your brain into fragments and repaired it simultaneously millions of times in the course of 8 years thus resulting in a breakdown when the mana finally set inside your body¡± I see ¡±No you don¡¯t¡± Meanie ¡±Don¡¯t try to act smart in front of me, I know everything you know¡± Anyway... How much magic was I born with? ¡°In your world society measures Mana by numbers, the average person having roughly 500 Mana, a noble having 1000 and royals having 1500. Yours, well.... it¡¯s 30000¡± Why the hell do I have so much? wait Is this why I have white hair and red eyes? ¡° No. Not even I can tell you the reason behind that as it is not within my powers¡± So there are beings higher than you? ¡± Yes, one to be exact, but you need not worry about that old fart¡± Ok So now for the grand finally...

Why? Oh let me guess, you¡¯re lonely. Oh that¡¯s just sad, having to spend time with a young boy to sate your sexual disire. Last time I checked wasn¡¯t that a crime? ¡± How does a young boy have such a sick mind, anyway I¡¯ll make you a body for this plane, you know what? I¡¯ll make myself one too.¡± A bright light floods my vision and I awake to a long grass field stretching as far as the eye can see ¡± Hello Damien¡± I look towards the voice to see a young girl, about my age with long blonde hair and blue eyes. ¡±Hello Karva¡± Origins ( chapter 2 ) And so, over the course of 5 million years ( 5 in the outer world ) Karva taught Damien all she knew, how to fight, human emotions, to read & write, spells, and of course, the origins of Humanity. In the beginning there was a being, capable of love, hate and all in between. Capable of destroying, of creating. None no why or how he was created but he was, he was simply born from existence itself. He created the lands, the trees, the seas and all that they would hold, and then, in an act of self-curiosity, created humans. 4 to be exact, Adam, Eve, Seth and Karva. He gave them a simple challenge, resist the fruit for 40 days and they could grasp the seat of god hood, but, if one of them was to touch it, they would all perish. In the center of the world he crafted, layed a tree, like none other. It¡¯s stump was grey, it¡¯s leaves blue and on one branch of the tree hung an apple. It was red, orange, grey, black and green, all the colours man could think of decorated it¡¯s skin. and it¡¯s leaf White For the first 36 days they had resisted, he being proud of them for their resistance and proud of himself for his perfect creation. But then Eve began to stare at the Apple, for hours upon end before feasting upon the succulent fruit. Adam and Seth, upon realising, or believing for better terms, that he would not know that they ate it, also took a slice for themselves. They tried to convince Karva to join them but she refused, believing it to be unrighteousness to disobey their creator.The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. On the 40th day they were waiting brazenly to accept their god hood for they believed that he did not see their betrayal. When he came to bestow upon them the god hood he had sensed the apple within the three and in a moment of pure rage, killed Seth. Adam and Eve, begging for their lives, were given mercy and cast out to the wastes of the world. But he did not cast out Karva, for he sensed the good in her heart and bestowed upon her the title of one true god. That very Karva had been the one in which Damien had spent these 5 million years with. Although Karva had not known it, and certainly not Damien, was that both of them had fallen in love one another. And all Karva had wanted for Damien once he went back to the real world was to have a good life. Though Karva could not help it the years inside his head had started to take a turn on him, for the worse. Believing he would have to lose Karva if he went back to the real world he started to try to find ways to kill his physical body, but alas no way was possible due to his mind and body being of 2 seperate realms that merely operated with one another. Coming to terms with the fact that he would lose Karva he decided upon a simple descision. If he couldn¡¯t have her, then no one could. Using one of the skills taught to him by her, Deus Mutus, which had the ability to temporarily mute the powers of any being of high status, including immortality and magic, muted Karva and beated her to death with his bear hands. Realizing what he had done in his act of insanity, he so pathetically tried to revive Karva. But alas she had taught him no spells to revive the dead, for it would go against the natural balance of the world. As he wallowed in despair for another million years in the plane that Karva had created, he came to the realisation that he still had family. The family he loved so much for accepting him for a human, not a monster. As he neared the time of his awakening he remembered Karva and all that She had meant to him, pledging to himself to live a life of fun, however he wanted. Even if he had to kill Even if he had to slaughter Even if he had to commit genocide Wage wars Burn city¡¯s Any if didn¡¯t matter one thing did having fun. *** I awake to see a Middle Aged man with long curly black locks and deep blue eyes lined with the aura of a king staring bewildered at me. It was my Father, Jaques Kilebrin. ¡±Hello Father¡±
