This place was not at all like Prydain -- or not like any part of Prydain the Horned King was familiar with, at least...
The further in he walked, the more abundant the people became... Although, unknown to him, the crowds were usually minimal at this time of year.
There was a wide assortment of people. They all came in various ages and skin tones, and spoke in different tongues. To say nothing of the clothes they wore, which ranged from normal enough to the truly bizarre... Just what exactly were they wearing on their heads?
Many stopped and stared as the Horned King passed them by. Some w

"No! You'll not have me...! My power cannot die...! Curse you!"
The lich could only stare in horror as he was pulled closer and closer toward the Black Cauldron, it's iron surface burning hot red, illuminating the face of the Death-Lord carved upon it's side. He clung to the ledges of the cauldron's opening, the winds whipping up around him with the intensity of a thunderstorm... Caught within the current of the cauldron, the Horned King's powers were severed.
From within his own body, the Horned King could feel his blood boil and burn ; his skin began to bubble and crack, breaking off from his body, little by little.

Once Upon a Time... The Horned King ~ Ch1
Once upon a time, in the mystic land of Prydain, there was once a king so cruel and so evil that even the gods feared him...
Since no prison could hold him, he was thrown alive into a crucible of molten iron ; and there his demonic spirit remained, imprisoned in the form of a great, black cauldron...

Once upon a time, in that very same world lived another king...

Once upon a time...
That was oftentimes the beginning to many a story... Stories of beautiful princesses and noble heroes ; of magical genies and dastardly pirates ; and of enchanted swords, cursed treasure, and empires that were lost to the world. Great stories ; wondrous stories filled with adventures beyond the stars, and stories going way back to a time long before man was born, when the earth was ruled by great beasts... Stories that have captured the hearts and held the minds of many, young and old, for many, many years.
It was these stories which stoked the fires of the imagination. And from the imagination came more stories o
"... Oh no."
That was all Aku could manage to get out... He pawed at the ground, uttering a string of soft little 'nos' as he frantically sought the time portal, to reach through and pull the Samurai back in time. But it was gone. The Samurai, and Aku's own, traitorous spawn, had passed through the portal, and into the past!
"No!" snarled the demonic entity, rising up to his full height. Perhaps, if he could open himself another time portal, he could pass through and reach the Samurai, and prevent him from slaying him in the past!
"You will not best me, Samurai!" exclaimed the Shapeshifting Master of Darkness. In one, final effort, h

How is everyone!? It's been a while. Still here - as you can see by my recent postings of the Dinosaurs made with LeviaDraconia (https://www.deviantart.com/leviadraconia)'s LineArt Pack. ^^;
Still very passionate toward The Black Cauldron! Which, speaking of which...
Can't say I really know for sure - a LOT of sites are talking about it, even though I have found that one site saying whether or not a thing is a hoax or not - The Same Site also has "UPDATE 28/01/2017 : This story seems to be false." and I'm not entirely sure if that's referring to the story of him being dead, or the story of it being a hoax - So really, it's kind of up in the air for me?
