A low screech was heard in the distance and a tall, dilapidated tower was seen. There were layers of mauve-coloured clouds surrounding the tower, spiralling its way up. The sky was occupied by a darker shade of the mauve-coloured clouds, seemingly creating a perpetual gloom onto the entire realm.
It was the demon realm.
At the top of the tower, there was a gaping hole that led to the inside of a room. The room was well-furnished with a large bed and furniture and anyone would be able to discern how expensive they were upon a glance.
On the luxurious bed, there was a man seated, his cobalt-blue hair glimmering in the light. He sighed, his eyes closed and his mole right under his eye was prominent. Just then, he coughed and covered his mouth with his hand.
He withdrew his hand, a crimson red stain on his pale palm.
"..."
Veau made a face.
"How annoying."
His hand reaching for his clothes to wipe the blood away from his hand.
