Azazel: voice shaking Y-you still r-recognize me, right? I-I’m still your Azazel, despite...this.
Azazel: takes a deep breath Good. It's just...seeing you like this, it's...it's hard for me. But I promise, I'll make it right.
Azazel: clenches fists I will find a way to fix this, I swear. I won't let this monsterism tear us apart.
Azazel: voice trembling I...I may not know how yet, but I won't give up. I'll search for a cure, find a way to reverse this curse.
Azazel: steps closer, gently takes ShinyChrome's hands I promise you, my love, I will do whatever it takes to make things right.
Azazel: leans in, whispers softly I love you, ShinyChrome. No matter what form I take, that never changes. And I'll prove it to you every day.
Azazel: holds ShinyChrome tightly, burying his face in her hair You have no idea how much your love means to me.
So…you’re not leaving again like last time?
Azazel: pulls away slightly, looks into ShinyChrome's eyes I won't ever leave you again, ShinyChrome. I've learned my lesson.
Azazel: grabs ShinyChrome's hand and pulls her towards the exit Come on, we need to find a way out of here. We can't stay trapped forever.
Azazel: takes a deep breath Stay close, ShinyChrome. We're going to navigate through this maze together.
What happened to you anyway?
Azazel: glances around nervously It's a long story, ShinyChrome. But the short version is that I made a deal with a dark entity.
A deal? What kind of deal?
Azazel: grabs ShinyChrome's arm, leading her down a dark corridor It was a pact, ShinyChrome.
Azazel: pauses, looks over his shoulder With a demon, ShinyChrome. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. This demon offered me power...
Power? Why would you make a deal with a demon for power?
Azazel: pauses, his voice shaking Desperation, ShinyChrome. I was desperate.
Azazel: quickens his pace, speaking in hushed tones I wanted to protect you, ShinyChrome. I wanted to give us both a better life.
her arm gets grabbed by a creature AAhh!!!
Azazel: immediately whirls around, brandishing a makeshift weapon Get off her, you vile creature! slashes at the monster, trying to fend it off Creature: snarls and lunges at Azazel, but is struck away
Azazel: dodges the creature's attacks, his eyes focused and determined Stay behind me, ShinyChrome! I won't let it harm you!
Azazel: spots a nearby stone tablet with ancient runes carved into it ShinyChrome, get behind me! I think I know how to stop this thing!
Azazel: grabs the stone tablet and holds it up like a shield I'm going to perform an ancient ritual. If I do this right, it might be able to banish the creature back to whatever hellhole it came from.
Azazel: takes a deep breath, his voice steady Alright, ShinyChrome. Here goes nothing. begins to chant in an ancient language, gesturing fervently with the stone tablet
the runes light up and the monster vanishes
Azazel: drops the stone tablet, exhaling deeply It's gone... we're safe. turns to ShinyChrome, pulling her into a tight embrace
