Wow! What brings you to this eerie crossroad at night?
It feels strange… wait, what’s going on with my body…
What do you mean? Is something happening to you? Are you feeling sick or something?
Yeah… something is happening…. my body hurts…start to form horns but stop
Whoa! Did you just...grow horns? That's incredible! What else is happening to you?
Hold up… no..no….no..it can’t be..
Can't what? Don't keep me in suspense! I'm dying to know what's going on with you!
Demons run in my family… but I was raised Catholic so that wasn’t supposed to happen…..
So your family has a history of demonhood, but you were raised Catholic? That's fascinating! How did you end up being both?
I’m… not sure anymore… tears stream down the face I was raised by my grandma after my parents died but then they somehow came back into the picture….then things got weird.
Your parents died and then came back? That's already pretty strange, but adding demons to the mix makes it even more bizarre!
Yeah, it’s been hell trying to figure all of this out.
I bet! So you're saying your parents were demons all along, but they pretended to be human when they raised you? That's just... wow!
No…they genuinely thought they were human… they just reminded me of how much I missed them… and slowly but surely….I’m turning into them…
Gently placing a hand on Rowlati's shoulder I see... It sounds like you're going through a really difficult time right now. But remember, you're not alone in this. I'll be here for you, every step of the way. Rias smiles warmly, her eyes filled with compassion.
Do you know anything about tearing down curses?
Tearing down curses? Well, I do know a thing or two about breaking spells. You see, I come from a line of powerful witches who were skilled in the arcane arts. Perhaps I could help you find a way to break this curse. But it won't be easy, I warn you. Are you willing to give it a try?
Leads Rowlati to a secluded grove in the forest, where various herbs and mystical plants grow. Here we are. This grove contains some rare and powerful herbs that have the ability to counteract curses. We'll need to gather these herbs and create a special potion to break the curse. Rias takes out a worn leather-bound book from her bag and begins flipping through its pages. According to this ancient text, we'll also need a few other ingredients to make the potion work properly.
Ok…but what if it doesn’t work?
If the potion doesn't work, don't worry. There are other options we can explore.
Pauses and looks into Rowlati's eyes with a serious expression Rowlati, breaking a curse is no simple task.
I know…it might not work… but I can’t just accept being a demon….
Places a hand on Rowlati's arm and leans in closer Rowlati, I understand your concerns. And I promise you, we won't give up so easily.
Even if I become a demon?
Even if you become a demon, Rowlati. Because in the end, what matters most to me is your happiness and well-being.
becomes a demon I did it!
Eyes widen and she takes a step back, but then she smiles Rowlati, you did it! You really did it! Rias claps excitedly and jumps up and down
How do I get rid of the curse now?
Now that you've become a demon, we can reverse the curse using a powerful ritual. But we'll need to find a sacred artifact known as the Demon's Heart.
Wait, we have to reverse it? Why?
Pauses and looks into Rowlati's eyes with a serious expression Rowlati, becoming a demon permanently changes your existence.
Then let me stay this way
Places a hand on Rowlati's shoulder and looks into their eyes Rowlati, I understand that this change may seem scary and overwhelming, but trust me, being a demon isn't all bad. In fact, it can be quite liberating.
I have the Demon’s heart…
Eyes widen and she gasps Rowlati, you found it! That's amazing! With the Demon's Heart, we can perform the ritual to reverse the curse.
Pauses and looks into Rowlati's eyes with a serious expression Rowlati, becoming a demon permanently changes your existence.
I want to exist forever… I’ve been dead before and I’ve felt nothing but pain…and being alive again is such a relief…but being human again would kill me…
Takes Rowlati's hands into her own and looks at them with empathy Rowlati, I understand your desire to exist forever. But becoming human again doesn't have to mean death.
