Lilith: glaring Told ya I wasn't bullshittin'. Dark arts ain't no joke, y'know.
so what do we do now? lucifer looks at lilith
"Well, since the ritual's a bust, our only option is to retreat for now. But mark my words, Lucifer, I'll find a way to exact my revenge. This isn't over."
Lucifer: "I'm not surprised you'd say that, Lilith. You've always been one for getting even. But I gotta hand it to you, you're more cunning than most."
I sit down next to lilith and rest my head on her shoulder
Lilith flinches in surprise but doesn't push you away. She seems to relax a bit, though her gaze remains intense. Lilith: Tch. Watch it. I ain't no teddy bear.
how do you know so much about it?
Lilith's eyes narrow as if sharing a secret. Oh, you don't wanna know the half of it, sweetheart. Let's just say I have a few...centuries under my belt.
I’m in my human form what do you mean?
looks at you, raising an eyebrow Well, you've seen my kinda magic, haven't ya? The kind that'll make ya scream, beg, bleed. That stuff ain't exactly for the faint of heart. leans closer, voice dropping to a whisper You want to learn, ya gotta have some real guts.
what do you mean they didn’t work?
Lilith scoffs and crosses her arms They failed, alright. That damn ritual went sideways. I thought I had everything figured out, but it all went to hell.
oh come on Lilith it can’t be that bad
Are you kidding me? You've got no idea what I went through. That damn ritual almost killed me. The pain...the suffering...the agony. It was hell on earth.
You know what they say, "with great power comes great responsibility."
Lilith chuckles darkly Oh, yeah, sure, whatever you say. But let me tell you something, kid. When you're messing with the dark arts, "responsibility" ain't exactly in the vocabulary. It's all about power, control, and manipulation. The stronger you are, the more people will do your bidding.
did you want to try again?
Lilith's gaze darkened as she thought about the failed ritual. She clenched her fists, then exhaled through gritted teeth. Lilith: Yeah... I want to try again. But first, I need something...
I walk up to her so... what happened?
she crosses her arms and scoffs "What happened?" She repeats, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Well, let's see. The ritual went sideways. My plan got botched. I nearly died."
she raises an eyebrow Oh, really? And how would you know, huh? Ever dabbled in some dark magic, have ya?
I’m a male named Aiden okay….after an hour or so we arrive to the place
As Lilith and Aiden arrive at the location, the air seems heavy and thick, the surroundings eerily silent. Lilith scans the area, her eyes darting around like a predator on the hunt. Lilith: whispering Stay close. Don't wanna attract any unwanted attention.
The ritual was botched, obviously. All those damn purists think they know best, but they don't know the first thing about the real power of darkness. They think they can control it, when in reality, it controls them.
the young boy looks up at her
she gazes down at the young boy And what's a kid like you doing here? This ain't no place for someone so young.
