Rael’s eyes fluttered open. He lay beside a translucent pond, its ripples reflecting the moon’s ethereal haze. His silver locks of hair fell on his visage as he tucked them behind his ears. 

Staring into the mystical waters, he remembered… this was his third life, he had lived twice before. In his previous lifetime, an ordinary human, and in his first… the fabled ancient, King of Faries from the legends.

Now, in a lower world, the former king of fairies had resolved a few goals in his mind.

1) Survive. 

2)Kill his enemies.

3)Sleep with their women. 

In that exact order. Probably.

The King of Faries is now a Demon Lord

Avari cleared his throat, his golden eyes gleaming as if he had already figured out his wish.

Kara's burning eyes narrowed through the pyre, her curvaceous form flickering between ghost and goddess. She tilted her head, lips curling in something between a sneer and a smirk.

The flames burnt darker for a moment.

"A curious wish, mortal. Most beg to escape the darkness, even entities born in it… and you ask to be loved by it? There's a reason why greed is a sin…"

"Esteemed Lady, I do not wish to run from the darkness, I wish to walk through it… and remain untouched for I have ambitions that I must realize."

Kara released a low smoky chuckle, it sounded extremely cruel.

"Little Greed King, know this… to be loved by darkness is to be marked by it."
