~Askel's Childhood~
A five year old Askel stared in horror as his father approached him, the black gem held tightly in his hands.
From the look in his father's eyes, young Askel could already guess his father's intentions.
Young Askel knew clearly what was contained within that gemstone, he knew the beautiful black gemstone only served as an enchanted cage to an ancient beast.
Young Askel shook his head in panic, his eyes searching around the throne room for a means of escape, but there was none to be seen.
"Father no! I will do better! I swear it! Take the monster away! Please!" Young Askel pleaded desperately as he took frightened steps backward, retreating from his father and the horror he brought along with him.
"You are my heir! This is your destiny!" Askel's father reminded in a fierce tone.
Young Askel shook his head frantically, he did not know why he had to bear such a responsibility, all because he was future king.
