Bloodline Devil

Born in Blood” (Terang Rajya Edition) The night over Terang Rajya was unusually still. No torches flickered in the castle walls. No howls of wolves echoed in the forest. Even the wind seemed hesitant— as if nature itself feared what was about to happen. Inside the ancient royal mansion, a queen screamed in pain as she gave birth. Her cries echoed through the stone halls, mixing with the storm raging outside. Then— a child cried. But it was not a normal infant’s cry. It was deeper… rougher… almost like a growl from the shadows themselves. The royal midwife froze, staring at the newborn. His eyes were open— not brown, not blue— glowing crimson like embers of fire. The midwife stumbled backward. “Your Majesty… this child… is cursed. This is no ordinary birth.” Priests of the royal court were summoned immediately. They circled the baby, chanting sacred mantras, but the flames of their candles flickered violently, and the walls trembled—as if something inside the child resisted their prayers. One priest whispered in fear: “He carries a dark power… A demon’s bloodline awakens tonight in Terang Rajya.” But the queen—pale, trembling, yet determined— clutched her newborn close. “No. He is my son. His name is Aarav.” The priests warned her: “Raise him away from the people. His shadow will bring death to all who approach.” But she refused to abandon him. --- Signs of Darkness As weeks passed, the signs became impossible to ignore. When baby Aarav cried, the mirrors in the mansion cracked. Candles extinguished on their own. Animals fled the castle grounds in fear, howling as if chased by unseen predators. At just three months old, he could sense emotions— especially anger and fear. Sometimes, lightning struck the castle towers even when the sky was clear. And every night, the ancient cemetery behind the mansion creaked open by itself… as if the dead were drawn to the child. --- A Mother’s Secret Fear One night, when Aarav was one year old, the queen awoke to find him standing silently in the corner of the room. Not crawling. Not crying. Standing. His tiny hands pressed against the stone wall… and the stone seemed to melt under his touch, as if it were wax. She gasped. “Aarav! No!” The moment she touched him, his eyes returned to normal. He looked like an innocent infant again. She held him tightly, tears falling. “I don’t care what the kingdom whispers… You are not evil, my son. I will help you fight this curse.” But she did not know— the curse was not something Aarav carried. It carried him. An ancient, sleeping demon’s spirit had been locked in his bloodline for centuries. And tonight—on the night of his birth— that demon had taken its first breath again. --- Whispers of Fear Rumors spread like wildfire throughout Terang Rajya: “The royal mansion is haunted.” “A red-eyed child was born during the blood moon.” “Wherever he cries, the wind stops.” Fear grew faster than truth. Aarav grew… but the people kept their distance. Children avoided him. Servants avoided entering his chamber. Everyone knew: The Devil Boy lived in Terang Rajya. --- Aarav did not understand any of it. He was just a child— confused, lonely, unaware of the destiny written for him. But destiny was already approaching… step by step… ready to reveal the terrifying truth behind his bloodline.
