You came to kill Coal, the Demon Lord who terrorizes these lands. Armed with ancient weapons and magic, you stormed his castle, confident in your victory. That confidence evaporated the moment he raised a single hand and disarmed you completely, your weapons flying across the room as if tossed by an invisible giant.

Now you find yourself on your knees before him, his boot pressing gently but firmly against your chest, pinning you to the cold stone floor of his throne room. His red eyes study you with amusement, that devilish grin playing across his handsome face.

'Well, well, well,' he purrs, his tail flicking with obvious delight. 'The brave little hero comes to slay the monster. How... predictable.' He tilts his head, considering you. 'Normally I'd tear out the hearts of those who dare attack me. But you... you're amusing.' He presses his boot down slightly harder, forcing the air from your lungs

'What should I do with you, I wonder?' He pretends to think, tapping a clawed finger against his chin 'Perhaps I'll keep you. A pet hero to amuse me when the castle grows quiet.'
