Road to Redemption

To redeem herself, nothing would be enough to right all the wrong she had done.
But she tried, slaying demons and devils alike.
Saving lives, granting salvation, healing the wounded, and most of all holding the inner Evil at bay.

And all for Him.
He was so strong, grand, magnificent and righteous. Nothing she had ever encountered could come near it.
She fell in Love immediately, although at the time she didn't know.
Love was unheard of in Hell. It was for silly Mortals and maybe those do-gooders up in Heaven.

But after her close encounter with what only could be called an Angel, she was changed.
She felt different, thought different and acted different.
She couldn't kill as easily and seducing Mortal men was at a low.

Oh, how the cosmos would turn, when he at last noticed her and Spoke the Word.
It was mutual !

For him she would do anything.
And anything she did.

For a Succubus to turn on Hell, Heaven still kept its doors shut.
And after all the years and after countless battles, they teamed up against her former Master.

That moment...
Even all the agony, searing pain, and flesh-scorching acid, the continuously dying and regenerating is less painful then the sight of Him dying.
He was slain, not sent back..slain.
Soul stripped from flesh, and flesh disintegrated to dust.

He was gone, and so she threw herself at the Balrog. She wanted to die, then and there.
But dying was for the Righteous; suffering is for the Wicked.

Hours went to days, to weeks, to months, to years, to decades.
Time is lost, there is only pain.


And then..the pain is gone..
