Chapter 5.5: Selfish Devotion

It was a matter of time, until Dabria would find out about my identity. I wanted her to be safe, and so I tested her in a horrific way. It came as a surprise, how she stood up to me. I am grateful to her, after all, it was because of her that I am able to share my troubles. It was her who brightened my dark world, filling my empty void with weight...

A pure one in the church, someone experiencing the terrifying shadows. A goddess' intention, a person increasing their pressure. Something going wrong, this individual racing after the fleeing girl.

Fiends backing the lavender one against the wall, that deity revealing her true state. An entity harshly confronting the innocent one, yet another result happening. Those words from Dabria gripping the maiden, setting forward a new path.

Two growing closer over the passing time, relishing in the bliss of one another. Desdemona building more into her life, proceeding in its simplicity. These two meeting with Sasha and Lily at the park, the warm afternoon sun shining down on them.

"You two have been rather close huh." Lily gripping her arms, slightly raising her eyebrows to Ava.

"Do not get the wrong idea, it is merely a professional relationship." The deity gesturing her arm to the person.

"Yes, a professional relationship." Dabria happily clinging to the maiden.

Maybe I was being stubborn, and I wonder if I would have said something different if I could go back. My devotion, it is both a strength and a weakness...

A sister's mind on her brother, someone yearning to find him. An individual's constant nightmares, waking up in a cold sweat. Constantly searching in the darkness, hoping for a miracle.

Her uneasy heart, not wishing to believe in the worst. Screaming in the abyss, running after the the familiar melody. An agony never leaving her, these tormenting feelings on her.

"Never mind her, I heard you two were also trying to help. Did you find anything on my brother?" Ava's hand on her waist.

"We flipped over everything we can, maybe he just isn't in Inai." Sasha sadly gripping her arms.

"That thought crossed my mind, but his last message was here. If he is not in Inai, then I have no idea where to look.." Lowering her head.

My heart grew cold, my desperation increased. Anything, any clue! I just needed one solid piece. Unfortunately, nothing was turning up. I wondered then, will I ever be able to find Dillon? Will I be able to keep my promise to him?

A grim possibility to the maiden's attention, wondering on its truth. Those searching everywhere, unable to unravel a solid trace anywhere.

Her brother's last message leading to Inai, this place serving as the deity's base of operations. Someone venturing far, seeking out one to her heart.

Hours going by, the goddess finding herself in the lonely park underneath the bleeding light. Her distant vision on the crimson moon, wishing for a miracle.

Shortly feeling a sinister presence, her eyes shifting ahead. A great black demon, their large figure, those blood red eyes.

"Desdemona, your devotion will be the reason you lose everything." Folding his arms.

That voice, he sounded so familiar. If only I had known then...

"My devotion is all I have, and I will not stop until I bring Dillon back to me." Swinging out her arm, glaring at the devil.

"If you are willing to go that far, there is a strong possibility he might be in an abandoned village south from Inai. Let's hope you will not regret it." Turning from her.

Searching for a long time, pleading into the quiet night. Her crying heart in the abyss, desiring for a miracle. A devil coming to her, giving her a piece of information.

A strange occurrence in the dusk, this suspicious person, yet her desperation to believe in the tiniest chance. Feeling the cold breeze against her, the maiden stepping forward.

"How do you know this?" her uncertainty.

"There is so much you do not remember Desdemona. You can choose to believe me or not, either way, his time is running out. Think on it if you wish." The demon walking off.

I should have known then, but my devotion was my greatest sin. I wanted any clue, and this was an opportunity. I made a great mistake, and that selfishness would lead to something catastrophic...
