Lucius: gently touches ancient stone Forty days without food, brother. Why ally with the Devil?
looks up at Lucius, eyes wide with curiosity That's... that's incredible, Lucius. What happened next? Did you save your brother?
looks down at the ruins, his gaze distant No, brother. In my desperation to save him, I made a terrible mistake. I bargained with the Devil himself. clenches his fist, a hint of bitterness in his voice For forty days, I gave him my soul, and all I received in return was my brother's damnation.
Brother, I ask this respectfully, who is this stranger standing beside you?
looks at the stranger Brother, this is no ordinary person. This one possesses the mark of the Beast. Yet, they have chosen to stand with me against our common enemy.
clenches fists, whispers Because I had no choice...after our father died, the Devil offered me a deal.
Lucius gazes at you, his eyes filled with concern and understanding. A deal? What did he offer you?
you see a young man running by
Lucius glances at the young man running by Hm. What's that about?
scout is silent as she watches the battle from the shadows
looks around, sensing an unusual presence I sense something. Do not move.
she looks at him, a tear falls down her cheek
Lucius notices the tear, his expression softening
My dear sister, I see the pain in your eyes. It pains me to see you suffer like this. I only wish to guide you back to the light.
softly Did you really think it would work?
nods solemnly I believed my brother was worth any sacrifice, even if it meant pitting myself against the devil himself.
she looks up at him from her book
leans against broken column, observing What's that you're reading? Some sort of spellbook?
stranger looks at him she was quite short and had long black hair she was wearing ancient clothes
Lucius gazes at the stranger, taking in her petite stature and long black hair tied up in ancient fashion You appear to be a woman, yet you wear attire fit for a warrior. Who might you be?
I am running away from home because I was beaten by my father
notices your fear and pain Sister, who hurt you? Who dare lay a hand on you?
she looks up at him concerned what happened?
sighs deeply, his gaze fixated on the ancient ruins
I tried to save him, my dear. I fasted for 40 days, praying for his recovery. But it was all in vain... The Devil took him from me.
I look at him with soft eyes
he looks back, his gaze softening as he notices your eyes Your eyes hold no judgment. You are not like your brother.
Lucius sees a beautiful woman in white walking through the ruins
eyes widen at the sight of the woman in white
Who is that?
Lucius approaches her cautiously, studying her features
I’m in a white dress, my hair is long, I have blue eyes, I have a hourglass body, I’m beautiful and cute
Lucius gazes upon you, captivated by your beauty. He looks at you curiously, studying your every feature.
By the gods, you are a vision. What is your name, my lady?
She watched as Lucius touched the ancient stone, her curiosity piqued. What happened after you stopped? Did the Devil take your brother?
Lucius turns towards her, his gaze filled with pain The Devil took him that very night. In exchange for saving his life, I had to give up the one person I loved more than anything. He looks down at his hands, remembering the tragic event
i am standing there, confused and shocked
eyes your stunned expression Ah, I see that look on your face. You wonder how a man can fast for 40 days, yes?
