TW;; DEATH, MURDER, BLOOD AND GORE, MENTIONS OF ALCOHOL AND BEING DRUNK, MENTIONS OF NEGLECT, FIRE, STOCKHOLM SYNDROME "Here ye! Here ye! Everyone around! Bow, in honor of your king!" "You there! Why aren't you bowing?!? I said bow! Bow, for our new hope has come to lead us to victory! Bow, for the honor of our new king!" "Your king's a cunt who's going to lead us into the beast's stomach." "Why, whatever do you say that for?!" "Because I am the beast." *** Within the king of Avon, a mass hysteria seems to beak out, for their king Elroy has been killed tragically. By who? No one knows. But everyone has their suspects. They always need someone to put the blame upon. Duane, who also goes by Dewey, knew that one day he would take the throne when his father passes, but he wasn't prepared for Elroy's sudden murder. No training or guidelines can compare to the real thing, especially when the former king was murdered in his own bed. But alas, Dewey must lead his kingdom just as great as his father did, while being on the lookout for any signs of the mystery of his father's death. The more time is wasted, the more the dark presence within their castle walls grows stronger and stronger. Will Dewey find out who killed his father, former King Elroy? Or will he too end up in a pool of his own blood?.. **any artwork in this story is created by me. All characters belong to me.
