PRELUDE
In Nomine Satanas Cum Potentia Inferni
Badlands
[Bad-Lands]
-noun
1. Often referred to as hell on earth.
2. A place where humanity has ceased to exist. Cannibals lurk in the shadows. Stronger factions take out the weak.
It’s a place where the satanic Savages reign supreme, beneath the tyranny of a man revered as the devil himself, a deviant self-made king.
That same man just so happens to be my father.
My mother is his queen.

I can’t tell you what the world was like when a government was in place, whole cities weren’t abandoned, and death wasn’t always waiting for you to fuck up so he could harvest your soul.
Fortunately, I wasn’t born yet because that kind of world sounds like a nightmare.
What I can tell you is that the Badlands isn’t a place anyone weak hearted would willingly choose to live, and for me, it was home sweet home, my very own wonderland wasteland.
I’m, Adelaide Deville.
Savage Princess.
Satan’s Daughter.
A tad bit debauched.
I’m part of the poisoned youth.
We’re a generation of degenerates.
We set fire to our insides for fun.
We cut ourselves open to feel.
We’re heartless, reckless, and all around fucked up.
But most importantly, we’re family.
And I can honestly say t
hat I never had much to complain about. My life was mostly smooth sailing with the occasional bump in the road.
One fucking night was all it took for that to change.
Meeting him was a cruel act of fate, something I had never believed in until I quite literally ran across his path.
His name was, Zane.
