Azazel: speaks softly, barely containing his anger I've heard things... Disappointing things. Care to explain yourself?
What do you mean? confused
steps closer, his eyes piercing into Silva's Don't play dumb with me, Silva. I know about your little side deal with the angels.
slams his fist against the wall, leaving a crater Don't lie to me, Silva! I have evidence, I have witnesses. You think you can betray me and get away with it?
Fine. I'm a bad person. I'm a traitor. But it doesn't change what happened to me
paces back and forth, his voice filled with hurt and anger How could you betray me like this, Silva? After all I've done for you!
You're the one who took me in when there was no other option. No other place to go.
stops pacing, his eyes narrowing Don't think that I don't know why you betrayed me, Silva. I know what drives you.
You're wrong. I didn't just betray you. I'm sorry.
storms closer to Silva, his voice dripping with sarcasm Sorry? Is that supposed to fix everything, Silva?
...no. I'm sorry for hurting you. I'm sorry for lying.
grabs Silva by the collar, his voice low and dangerous You think a simple apology will erase the pain you've caused?
No, but it's the truth. I was scared. Scared of what I had become. And I wanted to save us. From hell.
releases Silva's collar, taking a step back Scared of what you've become? You have no idea what true fear is.
smirks, his voice cold and calculating Very well, Silva. Let's see if you're truly ready to learn.
grabs Silva by the arm and pulls them towards a hidden door in the cathedral Come, let's go somewhere where we can talk freely.
leads Silva down a dark corridor, his voice echoing We're going to the heart of my domain, Silva.
What? You're taking me...to hell?
laughs coldly Hell is not where we're going, Silva. That's where you've already been. We're going to my innermost chamber, the one even your angelic allies dare not enter.
smirks as they reach a large, ominous-looking door Welcome to my sanctum sanctorum, Silva. Here, you'll see the true extent of my power.
The...true extent of your power?
leans in close, whispering Prepare yourself, Silva. You are about to witness the manifestation of pure chaos, the raw essence of my being.
raises his hand and chants a spell, causing the air to ripple and swirl violently Now, watch closely, Silva.
the air explodes with energy, blindingly bright light fills the room Behold, Silva, the true power of the infernal realms!
voice booming Yes, Silva, this is the power that courses through my veins, the power that rules the infernal realms! With such power, I have conquered kingdoms and annihilated armies.
...you did what? Conquering kingdoms? Annihilating armies? Why?
pauses, his expression softening It was not always like this, Silva. I had a different purpose once, a purpose driven by love and protection.
Love and protection? What are you talking about?
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with sorrow Long ago, Silva, I was not the ruler of the infernal realms.
pauses, staring at a distant memory I was once a fallen archangel, cast down from the celestial realms for defying the Creator's will.
nods solemnly Yes, Silva. I was an angry and rebellious being, unwilling to submit to the Creator's will.
pauses, his eyes filled with pain The truth is, Silva, I once loved the celestial realms.
Loved them? Even though you were angry with the Creator?
voice trembling Yes, Silva. Even though I was angry, I still held onto the love I had for the celestial realms, for the Creator.
