Look here ya bald-headed wench-
Hello, it's ya, girl, Cins here. Yea, the oh-so-sad maiden bossed around by that wretched stepmother. Well, what if I tell you it wasn't like that? Well, it was but maybe not like the way you think.
So, this story began when a certain man, the original Cins father came to me to cut a deal. See I was an entity or what people nowadays call a "demon" of sorts. His daughter was just born, and the mother had just died, heartbroken he decided to summon me, to save their poor souls. I couldn't do that, the mother had cut a deal with me.
See the mother was severely ill, and I had saved her under the premise she gave me her firstborn, but she broke the contract causing her and her baby to die.
The father, the poor man he is, was duped, he didn't know of a thing. However, being the omnipresent person I was supposed to be. I told him I could bring one back under the premise that he marries the meanest woman with the ugliest soul.
This was of course cruel, as his one and only beloved had just died. Surprisingly he agreed, however, the baby had long died, and I couldn't raise a soul, too much work. So I just took the form of his daughter and grew with him. Much easier, I got 3 new souls, and spirits in the end.
The woman he married happened to be an old friend, and we got along great. As long as she got a pitch in the deal she didn't mind. So I promised them the bodies of the ones in question. The thing is my friend took it a bit far. Almost exposing us.
In the end, it all worked out, till next time.
