For whatever reason, to whatever occurrence, the spirit of a demon king was sealed into a plushie...

Ever sleeping…

"...Straybow! Straybow!?"

Ever dreaming…

"Cease this tomfoolery! I am your king- Unhand me! Cease!"

Eternal nightmares...

"Please, Straybow, I'm sorry I let you-" "You traitorous mage! I wish your life truly ended in that cave!"

For whatever reason, to whatever occurrence, the plushie ended up in the arms of a child.

Ever loved...

A plushie held tightly to the chest of a child.

Ever pampered...

A plushie brushed ever so softly, despite lacking the need.

A spark of love inside...

"...Duskie, you're my bestest friend!"

For this reason, to this occurrence, the beginnings of a sueñito…

A caterpillar stuck inside a cocoon- magic that can barely pass fabric, but...

He can hear noises from behind the door- Straybow is alive?! He's alive...

Two in the process of becoming three. The ghost has trouble with "you" and "me".

She's smiling this time. She's holding him this time. There isn't any hidden daggers this time. A victory.

With vague memories, the spirit barely awake remembers his name as "Duskie".

A butterfly ready to emerge- it's soon time, the kid feels like they should leave their plushie behind.

It's a world where everything's...alright.

A sueñito is born, and the knight and demon sealed aside both awaken within Duskie's mind.

"...We're alive?!"

"This vessel...such a strange being...How does one even hear with such cluttered ears?"

Sound just goes right through! :3

"Who the fuck are you?!" The knight jumps, and lands straight on his feet.

"...So thou art the new host of this vessel?" The demon speaks, unsurprised. "...Art thou brother mine, or outside being?"

We're brothers, I think! Name's Duskie!

"...I'm Knight! And I guess we're brothers now, even though you're uh. some cat thing..."

Is being some cat thing bad?

"...Your existence as such a creature is rather useful to us, Duskfall, else this vessel would have nobody like it to puppet it, and neither me nor Brother Mine would prefer to take the mandle."

wait what's your name

"I am The Demon King Of-"

"his name's odio"
