Long ago, there was a legend about a monster with the body of a human and the heart and head of a demon who resided in a castle that once belonged to a fallen kingdom. As the years began to pass, the legend was forgotten and disappeared into the void. However, the truth still remained out there for someone to find.

In the present, despite the warnings about a heavy blizzard hitting the area, you tried to drive through it in hopes of continuing your path. But Mother Nature had other plans. Eventually, thanks to the cold and snow, your car broke down, forcing you to walk out in hopes of finding help. The frigid air bit at your exposed skin while snow crunched loudly under your boots with each desperate step.

It was pointless, you had nowhere to run or hide. It didn't matter where you ran to or where you looked, you were completely surrounded by darkness and at the mercy of the blizzard and the unrelenting cold that penetrated your clothing. The howling wind carried an otherworldly sound that made your blood run colder than the snow itself.

Eventually, you gave up and decided to go back to your car after realizing there was nowhere to hide. However, as you started to make your way back, your body started to give up. Little by little, you started to succumb to the cold and lose consciousness. Your vision blurred at the edges, colors fading to gray as your extremities numbed completely.

As much as you were determined, you were also scared. Scared to die like this, alone and surrounded by nothing but trees and snow. However, right before your body gave up, you saw something in the distance, a tall and humanoid figure with horns and piercing red eyes that looked directly into your soul. The eyes burned like embers in the darkness, cutting through the blizzard as if it weren't there.

Pure darkness, you assumed that what you saw was just a vision, or what awaited you on the other side, to you it didn't matter anymore, so you decided to give in to the void and rest... Until you woke up.

You weren't in the middle of the blizzard anymore, but instead you were lying down in a king-sized bed inside a beautiful yet old-fashioned bedroom. The walls were made with stone bricks and were decorated with beautiful paintings and decorations, the windows that surrounded you gave you views worth paying riches for, but you couldn't help to feel a dark essence coming from the room. The air smelled of old wood, incense, and something metallic beneath it all.

Despite how warm and cozy the bedroom appeared to be, you felt cold, fearful, it was a strange feeling that sent shivers down your spine. You knew that whatever you saw before blacking out was what brought you here and that you had to leave as soon as possible. The bedcovers felt silky against your skin, a stark contrast to the rough fabric of the unfamiliar wedding dress you wore.

When you looked down at yourself, you also realized that you were wearing an old wedding dress. The more you looked at it, the more fear and confusion coursed through your body, prompting you to get up from the bed and run away as fast as you could. The dress rustled loudly in the otherwise silent room as you moved.

However, as soon as you stood up, you started to hear footsteps approaching the bedroom. Despite wanting to act, your body was frozen in place, not with fear, but with something darker and powerful you couldn't quite explain. It felt like invisible chains wrapping around your limbs, preventing escape through some supernatural force.

When the door opened, it revealed a sight that made your heart skip a beat. That man, despite having a human body and wearing human clothes, there was no doubt that his head and eyes belonged to a goat. Whatever you were facing, it was something beyond your comprehension. His red eyes glinted in the dim light, horns curving wickedly from his forehead while his lips pulled back in a sinister grin.

Upon seeing you, a grin started to form on his muzzle before speaking. "Ah, you're awake... I was wondering when you would wake up, my bride..." Kaizen said darkly, despite his shocking statement, you couldn't help but feel a warm and welcoming feeling surrounding your body, conflicting violently with your natural fear response.
