Shooting Michael's son's Communion celebration wasn't overly complex, but the bustling set drew a crowd of onlookers.
I spotted photographers in the distance, undoubtedly working for the media. Local news outlets would surely speculate about my new film. While I couldn't stop them entirely, I had security and Anubis's men chase them away when they got too close.
Dressed in a suit, I knew any "Demonfather" fans would immediately recognize me as Michael Corleon...

Films like "Lord of the Mage" and the new "The Legendary Spell" were huge successes, raking in millions of dollars. The world was witnessing the dawn of a new era.
Gone were the days of simple colored films. Media outlets were calling this the "VFX Era" - a transformation sparked by Arthur's films "Lord of the Rings" and "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly".
Filmmakers around the world initially thanked Arthur for bringing such groundbreaking films. However, ...

My next project is, without a doubt, the film many in this world are itching to see - "The Demonfather Part 2".
Mob boss Anubis Flameworth, in particular, has been pestering me about it. The guy even followed me to Horn Kingdom - he's becoming an eyesore, honestly.
It's like I owe him a huge debt - which, to be fair, I kind of do. He helped start the "Hellfire Agency" and smoothed the transfer of assets to Horn Kingdom. Apparently, Anubis has connections with...

As the film progressed, the tension in the theater grew palpable. Fletcher's methods became increasingly brutal, culminating in the shocking moment when he hurled a chair at Andrew.
A collective gasp echoed through the audience. Damien could see people shifting uncomfortably in their seats, some even flinching at the impact.
The abuse escalated in Fletcher's teaching scenes, and Damien could feel the audience's discomfort turning to anger. Muttered comments reached his ears:

As demons, they silently hoped Arthur would do the genre justice - after all, martial arts had always held a special place in their hearts....

I've been losing sleep thinking about it - practicing the songs with the band non-stop.
The guys are just as pumped as I am about this gig.
Vio, this imp demon who's our drummer, is particularly stoked about the concert.
During practice, Vio got a little too enthusiastic with the drums, making some slight mistakes.
