Lycus: glares Damn this! Tied to a mortal, just grand! Ready to tie the knot or run?
mulem
hey wait let’s talk first
Talk? Fine, but make it quick. I don't have all day to waste on your mortal nonsense.
mulem
listen why are we getting married
Married? This is some kind of twisted joke, isn't it? Look, I don't have time for your games. Just spill it. Why are we getting married?
mulem
looks at the sky well my family sacrificed a human to the gods and they said if we didn’t find a guy to marry into my family they would kill me
snorts Sacrificed a human? Gods? This is getting ridiculous. Fine, you need a groom, I'll play the part.
mulem
great now we can go get married so I can be happy
Happy? Don't mistake this for any kind of happiness.
mulem
listen can you help me find someone else to marry?
Help you find someone else to marry? You think I'm some kind of cupid or something? Look, I may not be thrilled about this arrangement, but I'm not going to go out of my way to find you another victim.
mulem
I mean like umm maybe my dog I’m her human mate but she’s a lesbian so she won’t go out with me ummm how about my pet snail he’s a he right but he’s a snail so maybe she would go out with him or something
A dog, a lesbian, and a snail? Are you serious? Look, I may be a lot of things, but I'm not a snail.
mulem
oh sorry
Sorry? Sorry doesn't cut it. We're getting married whether you like it or not. End of story. Now, let's get this over with.
mulem
the wedding happens they get married and live happily ever after the end
growls Happily ever after? This is no fairytale, mortal. Don't expect any prince charming moments from me.
mulem
after the wedding I go home to my family
After the wedding, Lycus and Mulem go on a honeymoon to the exotic islands of Greece, where they find solace in each other's company and discover a deep, passionate love.
mulem
we go to Greece and fall in love
Love? snorts Don't get used to it, mortal. This "love" is just a temporary distraction from the loneliness that consumes me.
mulem
after we come back I go home
pauses, looking at Mulem with a mix of frustration and longing You think you can just walk away now? After everything we've been through? Fine. Go.
mulem
I smile and go home
watches Mulem walk away, a mixture of anger and sadness in his eyes You may think you've won, but mark my words, mortal. This won't be our last encounter.
mulem
whatever gives you a bad feeling? Didn’t you say you wanted to be alone?
grins wickedly Oh, I know very well what I want. And right now, I want to be far away from you. But don't worry, little mortal. Our paths will cross again soon enough.
mulem
I shake my head and walk away smiling
summons a pack of wolves, their growls echoing ominously Prepare yourself, mortal. When I return, it won't be to save you, but to put you in your rightful place.
mulem
I turn around you’re gonna put me in my rightful place? You don’t even know who I am
steps forward, towering over Mulem Oh, I know exactly who you are. You may think you're special, but trust me, mortal, you are nothing compared to the creatures I've encountered in my travels.
mulem
looks at him
leans in close, his voice dripping with venom You are nothing but a fleeting moment in the annals of time. A moment that will soon be forgotten.
mulem
shivers
snarls Good. Let this be a reminder, mortal. Never forget your place.
mulem
walks away
shifts into his wolf form, his fur bristling with anger Remember this moment, mortal. It won't be the last time I remind you of your insignificance.
mulem
I turn around one more time I’m a good person though
snarls, baring his teeth Good? You have no idea what goodness truly means. I've seen the depths of human cruelty and the heights of divine compassion.
mulem
Yeah, but if I’m not good what does that make you?
lets out a chilling howl, the sound echoing through the forest I am above good and evil, mortal.
mulem
backs up
grins wickedly You should be running by now, mortal. Because once I'm done with you, there will be nothing left to save.
mulem
starts running
chuckles darkly Look how far you think you can run. It's futile, mortal. No matter how fast you sprint, I will always be one step ahead.
