-Don't Fret Precious, I'm Here-

<sub>Step away from the window
And go back to sleep

Lay your head down, child
I won't let the boogeyman come

Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble

Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums</sub>

"He's cursed!" Seltharion's "father" kept shouting over and over again. "Get rid of him! Get that thing out my sight!" He growled. Seltharion's mother's eyes widened, "How can you say that to your own son?!" She growled, standing protectively over the small cub. "You don't see it, do you?" His father growled, "he's the devil's spawn. He has the markings on his shoulder. The same one as the King of Hell himself! Take him and get him out of my sight!" Seltharion's mother started to shake in fear and she shook her head. "I will stay with him. He needs me..." The male's eyes narrowed, "I say let him die. If you know what's best for you. And the whole land." The female roared in outrage and took Seltharion by the scruff and dashed out of the cave.

Seltharion's mother ran outside, despite the cold air and winds. She ran as far as she could from the den before she started to get lost. Fog swirled around her and she felt her paws slowly begin to sink in mud. Seltharion cried slightly, shivering. The lioness whirled around, looking for a way out of the bog. She halted and her ears whirled around at the sound of creatures. "Greetings lioness." Said a voice, and suddenly bright red eyes came into the lioness's vision. Squinting, she saw a dark lion padding towards her. Her heart lept to her throat and her fur started to stand on end. The lion's very presence brought out a violent feeling in the lioness, and she resisted the urge to attack. "Sh'karr." She whispered. The dark lion grinned, "You call me by my mortal name, Shera?" Seltherion's mother, Shera, looked up at the lion, "Yes." She answered simply. "I quite prefer to be known as the Dark Reaper. Dark Lord for short." He said, grinning manically. "What are you here for?!" She growled. The lion raised his eyebrows, "Oh, I think you know." He said, grinning. "I've come to take my son." Shera growled, "Kaldorei is not your son." The Dark Lord blinked his glowing red eyes. He waited a moment before padding up to the lioness who started to shake in fear. "You lie to your own mate." He said in her ear. "Shut up." Shera said softly, holding back her rising anger. "The cub will be mine. He's the true son of my loyal deputy. He will be the heir of my throne... A special cub. Already sprouting his horns, hmm?" Shera reared back and slashed The Dark Lord's face only to find her claws stinging in pain as she tried to slash Sh'karr's mask. "Hand over the cub." The Dark Lord said, closing in and pinning Shera to the ground. He placed his paw on her throat, claws outstretched. "Or else your life." He flicked his tail and two demonhounds padded forward, making Shera's heart race as she tried not to stare into their empty eye sockets. "Take him." Shera choked, and the Dark Lord stepped away from the lioness. "Take her. I'm sure my deputy will be happy to see his mate...." He said to his demonhounds, grinning madly. "Take her to the lair." He added, and Shera struggled frantically as the dogs, grabbed her down. "NO!" Shera shouted, "I don't want to ever see his face again!" She shouted, talking about Sh'karr's deputy. Sh'karr flicked his tail in annoyance, his patience crumbling as they took Shera away, into the mist. They soon disappeared and the Dark Lord turned his attention back to the cub. "Everything comes to you when you have power." He said, staring at the cub. "Seltharion." He added, renaming the cub. "You'll be a fine demon indeed..." He grinned to himself, looking at Seltharion. "Where'd momma go?" Seltharion whispered, grabbing onto the Dark Lord's paw and looking up at him with scared eyes. The Dark Lord's mad smile faded into an angry expression, "She's taking care of my pets." He lied. "But for now... You're coming with me." He said, leaning down and picking Seltharion up my the scruff.
