Now Playing: Forbidden Friendship - John Powell, from the How to Train Your Dragon original soundtrack.

•~•~•~•~•

You were a demon living in Victorian England. You led a pretty simple life, minding your business and occasionally feasting on a human soul. It wasn't much excitement, but such is life.

Though, recently, a reaper had been looking for the root cause of why so many souls were going missing on a regular basis. Ronald hadn't ruled out the possibility of it being a demon, but he was surprised to find that it was, indeed, so.

You'd spotted him first, but Ronald made the first move, striking with a quick attack of his lawnmower-shaped weapon. Thus you began fighting. And eventually, you'd have him at the edge of a building rooftop, hanging on by a hand, a moment away from slipping off.

"Woah, woah, okay, I get it! It's nothing personal, believe me, I'm just doing my job!" Is what Ronald said to you, the one holding him inches away from a second death. It was here he got a good look at you. "Hey, maybe you help me up, and I'll put away my weapon, yeah? I won't hurt you."

It was stupid, but you obliged him. Neither of you could imagine, but this was the beginning of your forbidden friendship.
