[ CW ] `` Demons run when a good man goes to war . '' Constraint within .

He was a good man now. 
 
 He hadn ’ t started off that way. A good man had been the last thing he had been. His enemies had called him a demon among demons. Life had taken and reshaped him into a good man. One who protected his loved ones and his country. His people named him a king of kings. 
 
 And now, a friend stands before him with an ultimatum. Give up his son or face the death of thousands of his people. A ‘ friend ’. A betrayer. He was no longer a friend, but was but a liar. The liar still wears the slick smile. As if forgetting what they called him during the war. The liar still wears the smile when his head hits the ground with a resounding thump. 
 
 He will go to war again over this. Demons will flee before him, enemies crushed below his feet in his anger. To protect his people, to protect his family. He would become the demon that so frightened his enemies. 
 
 His people and he stand strong, unified. He terrifies the opposition just as he had years ago, before they had forgotten their fear of him. But he has new weaknesses. 
 
 Returning from what he hoped was the final battle, his son is missing and his wife lies with her throat slit on the ground. His enemies had fled, demons running ahead of a true devil but they had taken all that truly mattered to him.
