So like a nice version of the beast....the beast was like half protagonist half antagonist....well in our story he's going to be helping our main characters

I got an idea: what if instead of kidnapping children, it worked more like in Coraline? Like, he runs this kind of dream world, and he wants children there, and he only shows children the good parts of his world and CONVINCES them to stay in his domain of their own free will with him and the other inhabitants, but once they say they want to stay, he never lets them change their minds afterwards unless someone takes their place, so they just live in his domain until they grow old and die.

And he could live in a building made of Azoth, similiar to the domes Iris makes with Zilvra, but much bigger and fancier, like a mansion or a castle of sorts.

And the path of black leaves could be the dark and scary path to his little paradise prison.

Like, he rules over this nightmare world, but the part he (and the children he kidnaps) live is smack dab in the center, where the not-scary nice place is, and the frightening deadly stuff surrounding the paradise is what keeps children and adults from leaving once they're kidnapped?

...maybe I should write a short story about that some time.
