Infernal Affection
In the heart of a bustling city, amidst the cacophony of daily life, lived a girl named Elara. She was ordinary in every sense—except for her eyes. They shimmered with an ethereal glow, a gift from her late mother, who had once whispered tales of celestial origins and ancient pacts.
One fateful evening, as Elara wandered through the city's ancient library, a peculiar book caught her attention. Its cover was embossed with symbols she couldn't decipher, and it hummed with a strange energy. Unable to resist, she opened it.
The words on the pages shifted and danced before her eyes, forming a summoning ritual. Before she could comprehend what was happening, a vortex of shadows enveloped her.
From the swirling darkness emerged a figure—a tall man with obsidian skin, eyes like burning embers, and horns that curved majestically from his forehead. He was no mere man; he was Azazel, a prince of the underworld.
