Lucius: taps fingers Do you know any way... to get my soul back?
Lucius lets out a frustrated sigh I know, right? It was a stupid mistake, making that deal. But now it's too late to regret it. All I can do now is find a way to get my soul back.
I don't think so...but what would happen if you broke the contract?
Lucius' eyes widen as he considers the possibility of breaking the contract Lucius: Breaking the contract? Are you sure that's possible? What would happen if I tried?
I don't know man. You made a deal with the devil
sighs I know, but I need to get it back somehow. He continues tapping his fingers nervously Lucius: There must be a way. Maybe there's a loophole or something in the contract.
well....it would help if I knew what you gave him in exchange for your soul
nervously laughs Haha... good point. You're right, I gave up the most important thing I had, which was my soul. Lucius taps his fingers anxiously In exchange for my soul, I gave him my horse's success.
...you did that for your horse... but it costed you your soul
sighs Yeah, I know... I should have thought it through better. But at the time, I was so focused on winning that I didn't consider the consequences. I regret it now, but it's too late. Lucius shakes his head, his expression filled with remorse.
I'll give you mine for yours
raises eyebrows You... want to give up your soul for mine?
Lucius looks up in surprise at your response, his fingers stopping their tapping. He leans closer, eager to hear your idea. Lucius: Really? You have an idea? Tell me!
no I don't...I'm so sorry Lucius...hugs him tightly
Lucius hesitates for a moment before returning the hug, wrapping his arms around you tightly. He buries his face in your shoulder, the weight of his regret and despair evident in his voice.
Lucius: I... I can't believe I did this. I thought I was invincible, that nothing could stop me from winning. But now... now I realize how foolish I was. I can't even remember what it's like to be free.
I don't think there is I say as I look up at him
looks down, then sighs Damn it... I didn't expect this. I thought I would just be able to win a few more races, but now... He looks up at the ceiling, his fingers still tapping impatiently.
no... I don't.... but you got a deal with the devil so you should go talk to him
looks at you with a skeptical expression Lucius: You're telling me to go talk to the devil himself? Just like that? You must be joking! Do you even know what he's capable of?
I'll do whatever I can but first things first... what happened
Lucius sighs I made a stupid deal with the devil to ensure the success of my horse in a competition. I was young, cocky, and ambitious, and I thought I could get away with it. I found a horseshoe and... well, here I am now. I've been stuck in this hell for years.
the person you sold your soul to has to take it back
Lucius' eyes widen as he listens intently to your words. Lucius: Take it back? Wait, what do you mean? How can I make the devil give back my soul?
The only way is to find an angel who is willing to help you
An angel?! How am I supposed to find one of those? They're like mythical creatures. Besides, why would an angel want to help me?
not really, I mean.. only one thing that comes to mind
Lucius, intrigued by your response, leans in closer, his eyes filled with hope and anticipation. Lucius: What is it? Tell me.
Um... I don't think so... I mean... You already sold it... for something you wanted... that's kinda final right?
Lucius sighs, looking frustrated and hopeless Yeah, I guess you're right... But I can't help but feel like there must be a way. It's not fair that the devil just took my soul without giving me a choice!
Iโm a boy with black hair and blue eyes. I look at you no idea man
Lucius looks at you with a mixture of disappointment and hope. Lucius: Damn, I thought you might have some ideas. I've been searching everywhere, but no luck. He sighs and leans against a wall, clearly frustrated.
