The butler smirked as he stood up to his full height now. "You are Croffin." He said this with no hesitation, as if already knowing that she was of royal blood. Blinking out of their trance, the man dug the knife a bit further into Angela's neck. "S-Stay back! I don't know who...or what the hell you are, but one step closer and I'll-" "Silence mutt!" The butler turned his crimson gaze on him and genuine anger could be seen there. Yelping, the man finally released the girl and backed away. The butler turned to Angela once more and grinned. His teeth were not human, almost animal teeth. "You, who have summoned me. You, who has given me purpose! I serve you eternally." He bowed in recognition to the young girl. "I am the Shadow of the Croffin family. Their most brilliant achievement...and deadliest weapon. Your ancestors called me many things. However, your father christened me...Damien." The man rose up once more. "What is your bidding my Lady? I will serve...eternally." "Alright, that's enough!" The man with the knife ran forward and plunged the thing deep into Damien's chest....only to squeak in fear as the butler turned his head and grinned. "Ahahaha, is that all little pig? Command me, my Lady. Order me to tear out their innards and flesh out their bones! To consume and devour these pathetic souls who are nothing than meat! Do it, my Lady! Do it, so I may prove my loyalty to the Croffin name through blood!" A dark and sickening aura began to fill the basement, and the knife in Damien began to slide out on its own, clattering to the floor.
