His Royal Breeder
I imagined his middle head, the one with the six glowing red eyes, scanning the wasteland for any soul brave enough to approach.
Beside him, Deucalion would be coiled like a shadow. A winged snake with twenty arms, ready to snatch the life out of anyone who dared to look at this prison.
But the monsters outside weren't the ones I feared.
The real monster lived inside.
Lucifer.
I caught my reflection in the glass. My skin looked like pale milk against the dark room, and my hair, a silvery white that used to glow now looked cold.
I felt a hot tear track down my cheek. I was mourning. I was mourning my life, my freedom, and the people who were gone.
