The Abyssal Revelation: Unveiling Shadows and Curses

"Bathed in an eerie perpetual twilight, the demon palace looms with its obsidian spires piercing the darkened sky. Within its shadowed halls, corridors wind like serpents through chambers adorned with pictorial designs depicting ancient rituals and demonic triumphs. The throne room, a grotesque spectacle, houses a grand seat of twisted metal atop a dais of black marble, surrounded by an air crackling with unholy energy. Beyond the palace, a courtyard guarded by eerie gargoyles and demonic statues leads to a blood-red moat swirling with otherworldly mist. The infernal banner flutters high above as the palace stands as a silent witness to the dark power residing within its formidable walls.

The demon prince strides, fury in every step, shadows swirling around him. His eyes blaze with an unholy fire, and the air crackles with malevolent energy as he commands the very essence of the underworld with his wrathful presence. Consumed by rage, he marches towards the Forbidden Abyss, a place of ancient power and malevolence. The air thickens with dark magic as he seeks the counsel of the Eldritch Oracle, hidden deep within the cavernous depths. Only there, among ancient runes and swirling shadows, can he unleash the full extent of his demonic fury and seek answers to the unsettling visions haunting his infernal kingdom.

A whisper, capable of damaging the tympanic membrane of a mortal, echoes through the abyss, "What brings the most feared person in this kingdom to the abyss at this time of the day."

The prince's voice, a tempest of seething wrath, resonates, "Why do I keep seeing Lysander in my dreams?" Each word a thunderous proclamation that sends shivers through the demonic realm.

"That's a simple question to answer. He has resurrected and now stands as a greater threat to you. The human body has grown stronger and can shift into two creatures," the oracle replied.

"How many times do I have to kill that son of a...?" the prince's anger is palpable.

"That's how the curse works. He can't die until he breaks the spell," the oracle calmly explains.

"Breaking the spell would only make him stronger and difficult to defeat. Isn't there a way to eradicate him?" The prince disagrees vehemently.

"There is. We would have to ask the Ebony Coven Pack for help."

"What? That's insane!" The prince is incredulous.

"It's the only thing we can do," the oracle insists.

"That lunatic Luna would do nothing to help us."

"She would. Their breakthrough is also a threat to their pack. The wolf would kill their current Alpha, and the witch would be forced off the position of Luna, leaving her no choice but to be our ally."

"We have to kill them. He has to be annihilated," the prince declares, ready to leave.

"But there is one problem..." The oracle's words stop the prince in his tracks.

"What is that?" He asks, curious.

"We can't defeat the man if the spell is not broken. He has to break the spell, then the power that has been resurrecting him would be gone with the spell."

"That's no problem at all. We just have to let him be, and he would break the spell before we make our moves," the prince dismisses it.

"If he breaks the spell, he would be in his full strength and won't be defeated easily. The wolf would overpower the current Alpha and take his place. If this happens, our lifetime labor would be in vain," the oracle warns.

"You speak of him as if he has the power to defeat me in a duel. He is one weak, overrated demon," the prince storms out in anger.

"Poor man. If only he knows that his father, who was the king, was stronger than him twofold, and this Lysander was responsible for his death," the oracle says, returning to her meditation.
