The Dark King is an ancient spirit roaming in Brightwood’s woods. Back when the town was first founded in the 1600’s, the Dark King was a child leading a miserable life. Eventually, the child had enough. He went to the forest and carved the silhouettes of a cat, a rabbit, and a sheep respectively. He then cursed the town, and infused his soul into that same tree, silently waiting for 150 years to return.
What was the curse, you may ask? It was for any woman of mothering age, and it seemed very innocent at first glance. At the tree where the silhouettes were carved, there were three books, all three with a prince and one of the animals featured. Once the woman read one of the three books, the next baby she would have would bear a birthmark that matched the same silhouettes on that tree, as well as a discolored moon on it.
