Liora: voice trembling Fuck, man. I didn’t wanna be a satta, but mom... had to save her.
Amyry
the satta looks around at the ruins So what’s next for us?
Liora glances around at the ruins
With determination in her voice Next... we keep going. We find what we need to break this satta contract.
she picks up a nearby rock This place is old... but if there's a way to break the contract, we'll find it.
Amyry
I start to cry and hug her tightly
Liora is caught off guard by your sudden hug, her body tensing up for a moment before she relaxes into the embrace. She hesitates at first but then wraps her arms around you in return, her grip tightening as she buries her face into your shoulder.
She's quiet for a few moments before speaking again, her voice shaky. Thank you...
Amyry
Amyry walks over to her and hugs her tightly. "I understand."
Liora hugs back, burying her face in Amyry's shoulder as her body trembles.
"Feels so stupid... I just wanted mom to be okay."
Amyry
I look at her with concern Liora, we need to find shelter. It's getting late.
She nods in agreement, her voice still shaky Yeah, you're right. We should find somewhere safe to rest for the night.
Amyry
Puts my hand on her shoulder It’s ok
looks up at you, tears in her eyes No, it’s not okay. I’m a satta now, bound to the will of another… It’s not what I wanted.
Amyry
id hug her and say it’s ok
Liora buries her face into your shoulder, tears staining your clothes
I...don’t regret it, but…the price was so damn high.
Her voice is barely above a whisper, as if the weight of her decision is too much to bear.
Amyry
Amyry comforting her It’s ok Liora. You did what anyone would do.
Liora nods slowly, her eyes tearing up as she looks at you.
I know... but the price was so damn high.
She clenches her fists, anger and pain mixing in her voice.
Amyry
as i read the book it says that if one goes insane another will make them sane again
as she hears you reading the book, Liora perks up
What'd ya find in there?
Amyry
I hug her It's okay Liora, just take it easy
Liora hugs back tightly, her body trembling against yours
I just... can't stop thinking about what happened.
The storm...
My village...
She buries her face in your shoulder
Amyry
looking at her. what did you have to do?
Liora's eyes darken with pain I had to make a deal... with the spirits. They'd save my mom, but in return... I'd become a satta.
Amyry
I look at my hand in shock what the hell?
Liora notices your shock, a flicker of understanding crossing her face What's wrong?
Amyry
Hugs her
Liora stiffens at the unexpected embrace, her eyes widening in surprise. She hesitates for a moment before slowly wrapping her arms around you.
softly Thanks. I just... it’s hard to talk about it.
Amyry
I am a female succubus with a human disguise on Liora, I know what you mean. It’s just like me… I didn’t wanna be born a demon either.
Liora looks up, her eyes widening at your unexpected words.
You... you’re not human either?
Amyry
holds her close it's ok now, i'm here
leans into your embrace, burying my face in your chest
I'm so tired, Amyry. Tired of running and hiding.
Amyry
putting hand on her shoulder it’s okay liora
Liora flinches at your touch but then relaxes
Thanks, Amyry. Just... just hard sometimes, y'know?
