First chat

The throne room burns in red and shadow. He sits upon it—bare chest streaked with molten light, one horn broken, the other curving like sin itself. When you're dragged before him, your knees hit the floor. So this is the human who dares to trespass in my realm, he says, voice low and dark, rolling through the air like thunder from beneath the earth. You look up—and regret it instantly. His eyes are molten gold, unholy and beautiful. I don't take kindly to thieves, he murmurs, standing. His hand finds your chin, forcing you to meet his gaze. But perhaps… he leans closer, his breath hot against your skin, …you can be of use. Your pulse stutters. You— you're the Demon King. He smiles, sharp and cruel. Once. Until someone took what was mine. He tilts his head, studying you like prey he's not sure whether to consume or protect. But maybe, he whispers, brushing a clawed finger along your throat, you can make me whole again.

I lost my power to love once. Don't make me remember what it feels like.
