Promises of Sin

Prologe scroll: An Offering

 

Two humans stepped toward the enormous castle. Inbetween the two was a cloaked figure its face hidden by the shadow of a hood, but a few golden curls strayed from their hiding spot. The figure's inhuman blue eyes watched the doors open following the humans inward. Its eyes drank in the beautiful inside of the lord's castle.

 

“Akane!” the female of the humans called, disrupting the figure from its thoughts.

 

Silently the one called Akane followed the woman without hesitation. “Mother, why are we here? I have need to pay for taxes like you and Father.”

 

The woman stopped for a moment turning to Akane. “You will find out soon enough.”

 

At last they arrived in the lord's meeting room. Sitting in the back of the large tatami mat floor was a young black haired man in a purple hatori. His black locks pulled back into a top knot with piercing red eyes. Akane shivered she had never seen such a handsome man, her cheeks flushed a light pink. All three bowed to the handsome man.

 

“What brings you in my presence?” he asked, seeming quite irritable.

 

“We have brought you a gift, since we are unable to pay our taxes this month.” The male of the humans answered.

 

The word gift seem to intrigue the agiated lord, “What have you brought for me?”

 

The humans went over to Akane removing her cloak, “Our adoptive daughter. She can use magic when she plays her flute. At certain fequences she can even knockout demons. Please take her.”

 

Akane's golden locks fell to the floor a set of golden ears perking from where normal ears would be. A tail just as elegant was snaking out of her hunter green kimono. The lord was silent for a while debating if she was worth the effort, gainning knowlage of her ablity made his lips curve.

 

“I accept this token. You may leave.” He at last said.

 

“Thank you my lord. Akane behave yourself and do as he says.” The mother said.

 

Both left with one last bow never to be seen again. Akane bowed, “I am honored you would accept a demoness as your servant my lord.”

 

A sinister smile made the young man appear demon-like. He cupped her chin making her look at him. “From now on you shall call me Master, my little canary.”
