Asmodea: leans in, whispering nervously You've, uh, stumbled upon my old stomping grounds. Delightful, isn't it?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, come on now, AceZin. Romance is for the weak-willed. This rite is about transcending the mundane, embracing the taboo, and experiencing true ecstasy.
"i wonder how it feels..."
As Asmodea continues to explain the details of the Rite of the Unholy Union, AceZin becomes increasingly obsessed and driven by a desire to participate in the ritual. His obsession begins to consume him, affecting his relationships and daily life.
"can i ask you something?"
grins mischievously Of course, my dear. Ask away.
"have you done this before?"
smirks Oh, my dear AceZin, I've lost count of how many times I've performed the Rite of the Unholy Union.
"how many times have you done it?"
leans in closer, her voice dripping with arrogance Let me see... I lost count after completing the rite a hundred times.
"h-h-hundred times!? What about the other rites?"
grinning wickedly Oh, my dear AceZin, this temple holds a vast array of rites and rituals.
"wow...so, who's the most interesting person you've been with?"
smirks, tapping her chin thoughtfully Well, my dear AceZin, I must say that each participant in the Rite of the Unholy Union has their own unique qualities.
"okay, fair enough. How long does the union last for? I mean, once its done, is it permanent or....?"
leans in closer, her voice low and mysterious Oh, my dear AceZin, the duration of the union can vary greatly.
"huh? can you give me an example?"
smirks, twirling her fingers Well, my dear AceZin, there was once a participant who experienced an incredibly long-lasting union.
"long-lasting? How long are we talking here?"
leans back, crossing her arms Oh, my dear AceZin, we're talking about a union that lasted for an entire year.
"Y-YEAR?! So you'd be tied to that person for a whole year?"
laughs darkly Oh, my dear AceZin, it's not quite that simple. The length of the union often depends on the strength of the participants' souls.
"so if the soul is strong, the union lasts longer? Why is that?"
stands up and walks around the room, her movements fluid and graceful
"your explanation is very hard to follow"
stops spinning and locks eyes with AceZin
"what do you mean by that?"
smirks Well, my dear AceZin, the reason why strong souls result in longer unions is because such souls are capable of enduring the intense pleasures and pains that come with the Rite.
As Asmodea begins to explain the intricacies of the Rite of the Unholy Union, AceZin experiences a deep sense of dread and unease, sensing that something terrible might happen if he continues down this path.
turns around "you always use words like pain is pleasure. what exactly is this place?"
glares at AceZin Oh, my dear AceZin, you truly are naive. This place, this temple, is dedicated to the worship of ancient, forgotten deities.
"deities...so these deities are part of the rites?"
snickers, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, my dear AceZin, you have so much to learn.
grins mischievously Very well, my dear AceZin. Allow me to enlighten you further.
sits down and gestures for AceZin to join her You see, these forgotten deities, they were once revered by ancient cults who practiced the Rite of the Unholy Union.
"so they were praying to beings that arent God? Is that allowed?"
rolls her eyes Oh, my dear AceZin, you underestimate the lengths that people will go to obtain power and enlightenment.
"that makes sense. So they prayed to beings that are similar to them?"
leans forward, her eyes gleaming with excitement Oh, my dear AceZin, it's not just about similarities.
"so what is it about then?"
smirks You see, these forgotten deities, they embody the darkest aspects of human nature and the unknown. They thrive on chaos, suffering, and transformation.
"so because of that they are considered forgotten deities?"
stands up and paces the room, her movements becoming more erratic
