Dull purple eyes soon lit up as it took in the few traces of light that it could. Looking around him, Akihisa saw that he was sitting in a dimly lit room with various lamps that stored burning flames which flickered.

For some reason he felt... warm. It was hard to describe, but it was a pleasant feeling. This sudden warmth that embraced his entire body.

When he finally came to, he realized that he was sitting on Hela's lap. His head resting against her chest while her hand was placed gently on the top of his head with her digits twirling through various locks of his lavender hair.

The two were seated on her throne which was designed from a fine wooden material.

"Finally awake? My you virgins are something."

"Can you really blame me? That was the most amount of pleasure I've felt in awhile."

"Yes. Thanks to you passing out so easily, I wasn't able to torture you more."

"You'll have plenty of chances. I'm not going anywhere."

She leaned in enough just to slide her tongue against his ear while she whispered into it. "You're mine now, Akihisa Ina. The moment you entered Hell it was decided that you would be my plaything."

"Is that so?"

Her hand made its way to caress his face before she turned it to the side while she greeted him with her soft lips. "I know what it is you want the most, Akihisa. When you came to Hell you were lost weren't you?"

"I was lost before I came here. What is it you're getting at?"

"Don't think of this as a place to suffer forever. Think of this place as a new start for you. A new beginning." She pressed her lips against his own while her hand trailed down to his lap. "Give yourself to me."

"What makes you think I'll sell my soul to you so easily?"

"Because I can grant your wish, Akihisa. I can give you purpose."

Akihisa turned his head away from her, but her hand reached out to cup around his cheeks as she forced him to look into her red hues.

"You think you can do that?"

"I can. We Demons know what it's like to suffer that's why we try to fulfill the desires of others."

His features softened a bit as he continued to stare into her hues.

"That's all I ever wanted. A reason to exist."

"You're reason for existing was to serve me. Your purpose for living will be my purpose. My wishes are your wishes, my dreams are your dreams, my desires are your desires. You won't have to worry about any of that nonsense, because you know your place now."

"Is it really that simple? It can't be. I've been asking myself for a long while now. I lack ambition, I lack motivation, I lack dreams. These few years I felt like life was just passing me by." His eyes closed briefly.

"How does it feel to have that now?"

"How should I feel?"

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Hela giggled and returned to running her fingers through his strands. "You should feel honored that I've taken an interest in you."

He smiled softly before resting his head back against her. "That's exactly how I feel. Thank you, Hela."

"I should be thanking you."

"Why's that?"

"Because, you're going to be a great help to me. Your power will come in handy."

"What is it you wish me to do?"

"I need you to exterminate greed from this world."

"If that's what you want."

"Care to know the reason why?"

"It doesn’t matter."

She giggled and leaned in to kiss his cheek. "It's ok to be curious about me. My reason is actually quite human."

"Tell me the reason."

"What is it that you noticed when you first met me?"

When I first met her... back then when I felt her aura it was like a thick feeling of hatred and anger. What makes this different from other Demons? Is this w this what I should tell her?

"I could feel how intense your energy was. You didn't seem too happy."

"Well, I was far from happy! You made a mockery out of my guards and had prisoners escape! Something that you'll still be punished for!"

"…"

"My energy comes from my father. Amon. One of the Seven princes of Hell."

"You’re his daughter?"

"You never will have the chance to meet him sadly. He was killed."

"Who killed your father?"

"A person he thought was his best friend."

"What was your father like?"

"He was an angry person. It was to be expected since his sin was wrath."

"So that's where you got it from."

"Now you know."

"Seven princes all ruling Hell? How does that work?"

"Each king rules over a large portion of Hell. Wrath, Greed, Lust, Sloth, Pride, Envy, and Gluttony."

"Where does the Devil fall into that category?"

"Why the Devil is none other than pride. I believe it was Belial last I checked."

"I take it he's in a foul mood ever since his plan fell into chaos."

"Hmm? What plan?"

"His plan to take over Earth as its new ruler."

"I had no idea he was planning something so risky on his own."

"I shouldn't go off topic. Back to the person you wanted me to kill."

"The person responsible for my father's death is known as Mammon."

"Mammon..."

"His sin is Greed. It's what led him to betraying Amon. He stole all of his subordinates and left me with barely any man power. My people and I have been struggling for awhile now."

"We'll avenge your father. Leave it to me."

"That's what I like to hear."
