Curse: The Mark of Redemption
Prologue: The Day Satan Almost Won
For years, the kingdom of Heaven has held against the eyesore that is Hell. Countless times, Satan has failed at charges against Heavens gates, only getting one step closer and two steps farther. So then, he came up with a sinister and ingenious plan. The only weak point to heaven is the gates and the only way in is if you a soul or an angel. Satan was known as the master of masks, the lies that lie in every mind. Satan transformed his own devilish appearance into a handsome young angel. As he approached the gates, the guardians slowly opened the large golden gates and allowed the “Angel” to pass. Satan marveled at the walls and structures. “They all will be mine…” He said to himself with a grin. But he knew that the angels would suspect of him. They keep every angel under check with the Book of the Lambs.
So he needed a cover, or to change disguises often. But even Satan had his limits. As he stumbled across the holy grounds, he saw a young maiden approach him. His own cover story had walked to him. Satan could masquerade as a young lover until he is able to ambush God himself. “Why, I never have seen someone as beautiful as you, my fair maiden.” Satan said, his voice changed from his usual growl. The maiden smiled.

After years of this act, the devil himself, found love. The young maiden understood who he was, Satan or not, the young maiden believed she could change him. After years, Satan finally provided that he return to Hell and never return. The maiden could not live without him, so she followed.
Another year later they wed. And lay birthed in Holy and Unholy blood, lay a child. The young maiden held the baby clothed in a blanket.
The baby slept softly as she hummed a hymn. “What shall we name him, my sweet?” The maiden asked Satan, who sat beside the maiden and his new offspring. Satan had long forgotten his rouse and had been using his own skin from then on. Satan was not afraid of being caught anymore, they were in HIS domain. “I am unsure, any… suggestions?” Satan said, his voice in a growl, but very low. The maidens eyes were locked on the baby nested in her arms. “On earth-“she began. “Austin is a peculiar name, but spelled awfully difficult, why not change it a bit?” The maiden said, smiling. The demon king smiled a soft grin, his first one. “Why not?” He said. Satan held the birth certificate carefully in his hands. He carefully wrote down “Auestyn” on the spot next to “Name”. Satan looked down for a moment and thought, and then he looked back to the maiden. The maiden instantly frowned. “I know what you’re thinking, I refuse to allow my son to become a fighter, I don’t want our only son to
die on the battlefield.” The maiden said calmly. “Do not worry, my sweet-“Satan said, his growl disappearing. “I will protect him, myself.” He finished. The maiden looked down upon her baby, thinking quickly. Finally, she sighed. “Very well. But please live up to this promise, this once.” The maiden said.

This child would grow up to become the world’s greatest hero, or become the world’s cruelest Tyrant.

This is where our story begins.

Chapter One: The Beautiful Deception
“Damn it! I’m so late!” Auestyn shouted. “I’m really sorry Mizuki but I really need to go!” He apologized to his best friend Mizuki. “Oh? Okay we’ll finish training tomorrow.” He said, waving goodbye. It was dusk, way past curfew. Auestyn had grown from when you last saw him. His hair had changed to a dark blue color and spiked a bit, leaving a spike downward on his face. He’s also aged to 16. As he ran outside of the abandoned training facility, he turned his head quickly to check if any Daemon Guards were following him. Daemon Guards are guards who keep Hell in order, or well, disorder. Auestyn turned his head quickly and resumed running, only to bump into a hulking figure.
“Ow!” Auestyn shouted grabbing his nose. “What’s the big id-“He began, then quickly shut his trap when he noticed it was his father, Satan. “Hello…Son.” Satan growled.
Now before you start getting an appearance in your mind, I’ll go ahead and tell you he looks nothing like a giant red-skinned, curved-horned fire demon. He looks like a human, exactly like one. He has long black hair that falls behind his back to about a few inches from his waist. His eyes are blood-red and he has fangs. He also has six-pack abs. So now that you have the picture, let’s get back to the task at hand.

“Hello…Son.” Satan growled. Auestyn began to stammer. “It- err, I- This isn’t-“Auestyn began. Satan held up his hand for silence. Auestyn obeyed. “Do you think me blind and depth, Auestyn?” Satan asked, his growl lower. “Of-Of course not!” Auestyn answered. “You snook out of your bedroom way past curfew, then you come down here to train?” Satan asked his final question. Auestyn knew he was busted, he nodded slowly. His eyes fell on his fathers. He began to bite his lip, knowing his punishment would be fierce.

“You actions are irresponsible! You know it- it-“Satan began, his face changing from a menacing glare to a smile. Satan gave a small laugh. “It reminds me of myself!” He said, patting his son shoulder. Auestyn suddenly smiled. Whew…Thought I was a goner there. Auestyn thought, his grin staying firmly placed on his face. “Now…” Satan said, pulling his son gently. “Off to bed or your mother with get pissed.” Satan said, letting him go. Auestyn took off in a sprint back into the castle. When Auestyn was out of reach, Satan spoke to himself. “We are ready to begin the procedures.” He said, his lips forming a devilish smile.

“He has no idea of what will come, this will run smoothly.” Satan said once more. In his right hand lay a small reflective orb. A face appeared in the orb that was not his own. “His powers have not fully developed yet, I think we should wait.” Said the cowardly voice emanating from the orb. “I said proceed with the procedures, he is ready…” Satan said, his smile falling from his face. The face in the orb dropped its face for a moment into his hands. “Fine! Fine! He will have the mark at dawn.” Satan began his walk back to the castle, and then stopped. He turned his head behind him and looked up. Above him, way above him laid the crust of earth. “Soon… I will rule you and your counterpart.” He said softly.
