Damien sat cross legged on his mattress, the bed abandoned. It was too small for him, neither wide enough nor long enough, so he had pulled the mattress onto the floor. Several of the guards had noticed it on their regular inspection, but none of them had commented. He didn’t think any of them relished being in the cell with him, not with the reputation he had so far developed.

He hadn’t seen much of the prison inmates. He was in solitary confinement, the four walls pressing in on him. Damien knew he had to do his best to ignore the presence of his half-brothers incarcerated within these walls, that or else Legion would be drawn out to rage and smash. As it was, he was happy to stay here for the time being, safe in the knowledge this incarceration was only temporary.

The walls of the prison might be able to hold Legion unleashed, but the same couldn’t be said once he was past the prison gates. And this would come for he still had court appearances that the law insisted on.

He felt troubled though. Not for himself because he knew he had a destiny he had helped shape. Soon, his father would come to unleash the evil of the Fallen upon the world and Damien believed he had done enough to prove his worth. And then the fun would really begin.

What exactly would his father ask of him though? There was still an uncertainty there as to what Damien’s ultimate purpose truly was.

He had surprised himself by feeling concern for his psychologist Vicky Ralph. Normally he cared little for the affairs of the monkeys that had learnt to walk upright, but this one had touched something inside him. There was nothing romantic in these feelings. Damien was completely asexual and had little interest in the flesh dangling between his legs. Damien supposed he had formed a fondness to Vicky as a person, something that rarely happened. Strange how such randomness happened. As for the guards, he would happily let Legion rip them limb from limb. But Vicky had nothing to fear from him.

He knew Legion would never harm her.

Damien had spent a lot of his life trying to understand himself. At first it had been to try and discover what was wrong with him, to fathom why his parents had so relentlessly punished him. Then, as Legion’s influence grew, his thoughts veered more towards how truly horrific he could allow himself to be. Although the mind called Damien did not commit the brutal acts, he willingly drew the victims into his web, trapping them, drugging and subduing them. He was as complicit in the murders and the rampaging madness that Legion represented, a fractured part of him containing all his insanity.

When you realise you aren’t normal and that you have no intention of being so, it gives you power. When you walk through the streets and see the demons that skulk in the shadows and have no fear of them, it gives you focus.
