Author's Note

The Prince -
All good fairytales begin with the classic words, 'Once Upon a Time.'
Trouble is, I'm not meant for fairytales.
A Prince like me is meant to live in greatness, and in darkness.
I've accepted my fate with my head held high.
That is, until I see him.

The Stableman -
My mother's words echo deep in my hollow chest as I'm thrust into a world I don't want.
His world.
Our Prince may be the devil, but he underestimates me.
I will leave this palace, and when I do, it'll be with my head held high.
Trouble is, I don't think he'll let me go.
