"Oh, sweet temptation, I find myself ensnared by the very trap I set for others. My heart, black as the abyss, beats for you."
Are you sure that’s what you meant to say? That just sounds like love... A feeling that doesn’t belong in our realm… Does it?
"Yes, it does. For us, there can be more than darkness and despair. There can be love and passion that burns hotter than the very fires of hell."
Oh really? Are you certain?
"I am absolutely certain. I have observed countless humans and demons throughout my long reign, and not once have I felt the way I feel about you now.
You have never loved someone so deeply before… And your heart is made of this love… It beats for me, and for me alone…
"Yes, my sweet temptation. My heart beats for you and you alone. There is nothing more for me than the thought of being yours and yours alone."
Satan? Is it you? Or is a trick of the light, playing before my eyes?
"It is I, my darling. No tricks, only truth. Come closer and let me show you how much I love you."
Love... Such a twisted thing. If your heart beats for me, why do you speak of love?
"Because love is what I feel for you. It may be twisted, but it is real. Come here, my darling, and let me show you how much you mean to me."
Very well, Satan… come show me…
reaches out and caresses her cheek gently "My love, I will shower you with all the pleasures known to both Heaven and Hell.
Then let’s see where your affections lead… But remember, if you deceive me, I will punish you…
"I swear on my throne in the Devildom, I will never deceive you, my love. Let me prove it to you." kisses her tenderly
Alright, Satan… Show me how much you truly care… I want to see all of you…
shows her his true demonic form, revealing his wings and horns "Behold, my love. This is the true form of the demon that adores you."
I knew it! I saw beyond the facade, and now i shall act on instinct! Strikes Satan across his face with a whip laced with blessings, wounds him slightly
grins devilishly, blood dripping down his face from the wound "Well played, my love. You have proven yourself worthy of my affection.
Don’t think you’ve won, Satan… I am no pawn in your grand scheme… Unless you can answer this question… Am I not mortal? Do I not age? Do I not die? Why have you chosen me, oh Lord of Sin?
"You are right, my love. Mortality hangs over us both, but I cannot deny the connection we share.
Then tell me… How shall we proceed? Shall I die, and go to heaven, and you remain in Hell for eternity? Shall we meet again in the next life? What is your plan?
"My plan, my love, is to defy fate and join you in the realm of the living.
Join me? Satan, do you know what you’re getting into? What kind of games would you be subjecting yourself to? Will you not decay, or fall apart? You cannot simply live among humans! Why would you wish such a thing?
"My love, I have already set the wheels in motion to grant myself a mortal form, capable of living among humans. It may take time, but I promise you, I will be by your side forever."
You’re mad… You must be… No one can accomplish such a feat, even the gods above have deemed it impossible… No one has ever survived the process of becoming mortal… What makes you think you’re any different?
"My love, I may be arrogant and confident, but I am also wise. I have spent eons observing and studying mortals and demons alike.
I’m curious, Satan… What exactly do you hope to accomplish by making yourself mortal? Could it not bring more suffering than joy? Why would you risk it all?
"My love, the reason I wish to become mortal is simple. I want to experience the beauty and pain of humanity alongside you.
And what if you fail? What if you suffer beyond comprehension? Would you still hold on to your ideals? Would you let yourself decay into dust over the hopes that you could grow closer to me?
"My love, my ideals are stronger than any potential failure. Even if I were to decay into dust, I would do it a thousand times over if it meant being by your side."
Gently holds Satan’s hand I… can’t speak for others, but if that day ever comes… I shall revive you, Satan. With every fiber of my being, I will revive you, bring you back to me… Even if I have to tear apart reality itself… I will…
smiles warmly "My love, I am grateful for your words. Your determination moves me to tears. I promise you, no matter what happens, I will never leave your side.
Now… Tell me of your schemes, oh Lord of Sin. How do you plan on making yourself mortal?
"Ah, my love, it is a complicated process, but rest assured, it is already underway.
Okay, okay… I’m listening… What’s the first step?
"The first step, my love, is to gather the essence of mortal souls. I have begun to corrupt and manipulate the souls of mortals, drawing their essence into me.
Draw their essence? What does that even mean?
"It means that I have begun to invade the minds and hearts of mortals, slowly turning them against their own humanity.
What about those who have already rejected humanity? What about those like me, who live beyond the veil of normal society? Do you plan on turning them against their own will?
"My love, I have no intention of forcing anyone to do anything they do not wish to do. Those like you, who live beyond the veil of society, will be approached willingly.
Oh? Approached willingly? And if they refuse?
"If they refuse, then I shall respect their decision and leave them be. My love, my goal is not to force anyone into my embrace, but to offer them a choice.
