Daemon and Monica sat in the woods. Both sat next to each other as as they thought about the miserable day they had experienced. He had run away from his abusive stepfather. He was tried of all words and the physical attacks. So much that he had ran away. He had latter met his girlfriend Monica. Both decided to runaway and start a new life together. They had journeyed many miles but had not scene any ideal spots to start a new life. It was dark and starting to rain. They decided to keep moving in hopes of finding a shelter.
They soon came to a castle. Daemon didn’t want to go in but Monica’s persistence paid off. They entered the castle by the front door. Inside was a beautiful hall filled with many amazing works of art. From paintings to tapestries. As they gazed about a voice cut in.
”Who dares enter my castle?” Said a a voice.
Both looked up to see a woman with raven black hair, brown and clad in a blue tunic.
“We are Daemon and Monica. We were seeking shelter from the rain. Who are you are you the lady of the castle?” Daemon asked
“I am Circe lady of the castle you both have trespassed in now tell me why you both have entered my castle?” She commanded
Daemon and Monica explained their plight. After hearing it Circe looked at them with pity. “Your tale of woe has touched my heart as such I will help you start a new life. However it will come with a price,” she warned
“What is the price?” Asked Monica
“You both will serve me for 2 years after that I will provide you with a new home either in the castle or somewhere else. What’s more you have to serve me in any form I chose. Will you expect?” She asked
Both Daemon and Monica looked at each other and nodded.
“Very well what shall you serve me?” Said Circe as she drew a wand.
