I basked in the release I gained from the burning and smiled raidiantly, yet I felt different, stronger and more confident, and beautiful, however I felt strange, as if something were missing.
"I may not have been able to judge your soul, but I can make your life miserable, this is your penance for your life previous to the one you lived, and though you may not remember, you agreed to it..." A voice rang out in my head.
"Agreed to what? What did I agree to?" Then I heard my voice and choked on my saliva.
A beautiful voice, sounding like the softest melody of music filled my ears, causing my face to flush.
"You figured it out, you're female now, and you belong to a certain Infernal Clan, the Clan of Amsodeus, have fun in your new life, and don't die, there will be no second chance."
I gulped, and then looked around me, only to find a broken landscape of trees long dead and burnt grass.
Looking up at the sky, I saw an endless darkness above me, looking like the Abyss.
'I need to survive, but first, what do I look like, at least not let me be ugly!' I looked down and saw small budding breast and a small waist, and clad in black clothes.
And on my back, it felt like they're were fans connected, so flapping slightly, the grass around me was flattened immediately.
Peering back, I saw pitch black feathery wings, dark as the sky above!
'Eh? I'm a succubus? Yet I have angelic wings?'
Then I heard them, the screams.
It was like music to my ears.
'Wait, who's thoughts are these?'
I'm your thoughts, the ones you push down and bury deep inside.
'If that's true, go back to being buried!'
No can do, I am you and you are me, so merge, and become stronger so as to survive, or you will die, why do you think demons aren't weak.
'What do you mean? Death said I was immortal right?' I asked while walking towards the trunk of a tree long dead.
Immortality means your invulnerable in the Mortal Realms, but you're in the Inferno Realm, where immortals die every day.
'So I'm not immortal?' I asked while scanning my surroundings warily.
You are, I'm just your insecurities given form, every Infernal Creature is immortal, having your corporeal body slain will just result in you being banished back to the Abyss, where every Infernal Creatures actual body resides.
'So this isn't my true body? Then why would I care if it got killed?'
Exactly, you don't, you are a true immortal being, and will grow stronger, all you have to do is let me take control, and then we'll merge.
'Um, yea, no, sounds suspicious as fuck, get out of my head!' I shouted at it causing the skies above me to churn.
Okay, okay, stop trying to bring your main body here, I'll leave... Then my head felt clearer than ever before.
"You successfully overcame the temptation on power that almost anyone would fall for, now wake up!"
