Long ago a once proud warrior had faced a great demon.

After the defeat of said demon he settled down & had a family: two young boys & his eldest, a daughter.

His wife was cooking some meatloaf for the family when his sons came in with both scared & curious looks on their faces. The father saw this & asked "What is wrong?" with a look of concern on his face. Had his sons gotten hurt? Was his daughter hurt? Then his face drained of color when his sons told him that a tree was possessed by a spirit but it felt really powerful & really evil.

He asked them what they felt when they saw the tree & he only shook more as his sons told him that the tree looked exactly like the demon he faced long ago from the stories they were told by their father. He asked a single question; "Where is your sister?"

They responded with "She's in the forest with the demon tree." The father feared the worst. His daughter may have been a lady in her twenties but if the demon tree found her it would surely kill her for revenge against the warrior that killed it more than thirty years ago.

The father donned his old armor, the horns on his helmet showing major signs of wear & tear but still held up as he rushed into the forest calling out his daughter's name. "Amelia!"

It was then he heard an all too familiar booming voice; "So you've returned. Time for a retribution warrior! Your daughter is with me in the heart of the forest where we had our great battle that shook the very earth beneath our feet."

"If you hurt my daughter you foul beast I will make damn well sure you suffer a fate worse than death!" The father yelled into the night sky as he ran in the direction where the heart of the forest resided. As he ran his panic grew & grew for the safety of his daughter. As he made his way to a clearing he saw it, the demon tree. The old warrior steeled himself for another great fight for the protection of his people & his beloved family & daughter.

As the demon laughed he called out to the warrior; "You & I have a score to settle old man. Today you will fall for what you did to me more than thirty years ago!"

"You should have stayed dead, you damn demon!" As he readied his sword & remembered his ancient spells he cried out "Give me back my daughter & your death might just be less painful then what I had in mind." The demon smiled through his wooden lips & sharp jagged stone teeth; "You won't see beyond this day!" he proclaimed & the battle began.

The warrior charged forward to face his old enemy. Spells were cast left & right neither one giving the other an edge but then the warrior saw an opening & charged toward his old foe & cast his most powerful spells to cut through the tree's roots. The demon roared out in rage & pain. The cut was deep & the demon lashed out at the warrior cutting him, thankfully not as deep as the warrior thought but he was bleeding pretty badly. A piece of wood was stuck in his side. It was painful but the demon seemed to be weak & the warrior called out to the demon tree; "Any last words before I end your life once more?!" The demon tree just looked at him & said; "How weak you have become over the years. You haven't even noticed, have you!?"

"Noticed what, demon?!" the warrior said with rage & venom dripping from every word.

"The tree I now reside in has a poison that I've infused with my dark magic. You'll not only be dead but you'll be one with nature" The demon laughed at the warrior who's face paled upon realization of his situation.

"Where is my daughter? Tell me now before I end you here & now before I die." The demon just laughed & said "Look behind you." as the warrior turned he saw his daughter; Amelia, her long red hair, her beautiful golden eyes... wait a minute the warrior thought, his daughter had blue eyes like her mother's. The warrior's eyes were as wide as they could be when he saw his daughter walking up to him. She had a pleasant yet sinister smile on her face." Amelia my daughter, what happened to your eyes? Why are they not blue anymore?" The daughter wore a long black dress." Dear father, I found a new purpose in life & so my eyes are my own & not my fool mother's eyes. I am now me & me alone & I see you've met my new husband..."

His daughter was marrying the demon? The warrior was dumb struck by the news.

"My daughter, that thing is a monster, he's trying to destroy our reality." The daughter then said; "OUR reality or YOUR reality?" The demon laughed & said "I told your daughter the truth about their mother how she cried when you took away her free will & forced her to give birth to children she didn't want, from a false hero."

The warrior looked at the demon tree & noticed it was no longer a demon tree but an ordinary tree but the demon was still there. He loomed behind the false hero of the realm with his antler-like horns & his four, piercing, sunset yellow eyes & dark, red, leathery skin, & demonic armor, with his cape over his left shoulder. "You lied to the world about me & when you knew you couldn't truly defeat me, you left me in a state of sleepless death but now the worst for me & your children are over & as for your former wife, don't worry, she will be spared, however, you will suffer a fate worse than death in about five seconds."

At first the warrior thought his plans for a perfect life with a wonderful woman would be a great one but his plans were ruined by his daughter & a demon he couldn't destroy. Before he could contemplate how his well planned out scheme would be foiled, he felt his flesh being ripped to pieces, sending pain through his body. He looked down at his feet & noticed that they were not feet anymore but roots burrowing deep into the ground. He was planted & would become a tree in no time at all. He looked at his daughter who was now holding the hand of her new husband & she said; "You lied to us all our lives. Now justice, real justice, has been served." The father, a once proud warrior, was turning into a tree, his flesh tearing like fabric, his eyes falling from their eye sockets. He screamed at his daughter; "You ungrateful child! I gave you a home, a life & this is how you repay me? He'll kill you when he gets the chance!"

"Not as long as I'm pregnant with his child & even when he revealed the truth, I think it will be a long time before I'm dead!" the daughter proclaimed & even the demon agreed he wouldn't kill his wife but instead give her eternal life & youth so she could reign over their new kingdom together.

As the father grew branches & the pain became even more unbearable, as his flesh became a banner attached to what was now left of the false hero, he turned into a tree. As the daughter & the demon walked away the demon said; "Are you happy with the results of today M'queen?" Amelia replied "Yes, my king. Now to liberate my brothers from their false lives & to free my mother & then the rest of the world will be yours as I am yours, my handsome king."

"Indeed my queen." the demon replied.

As the two walked away, the flesh of the false warrior hung from the tallest branch of the tree with his eyes still hanging from the former eye sockets. The armor on the ground began to rust away & the world was never the same again.

After both the demon & Amelia claimed the world for their own & revealed the truth to the world about her father's false accomplishments, her brothers didn't believe it at first but after their mother told them it was true, they were distraught.

Their mother was free to do what she truly wanted, to sing in front of an audience like she did in the past & was even given a new body to seduce the men she wanted to.

As for the sons, they went from normal to demonic as a blessing from the new supreme king & queen of the world.

Long Live the Overlords!
