Asmodeus waited impatiently for a response,
But the man didn't spoke a word, so he shortened their distance.
His onyx tames eyed turned suddenly red,
Screaming satanic wrath, as he showers their atmosphere dread.
His horns became as pitch black as before, while black flames starts to circulate around him,
His friendly and innocent look drastically changed,
As his whole persona was taken over by rage.
"Don't make me angry, speak up and hurry,"
"But...what do you want to know about her? And why me?"
"She is scared of you for a reason, so you better spit it out,
Or I'll make sure to chop your body, and feed it to Lucifer's hounds,"
"I didn't...didn't do anything wrong!
Why are you punishing me? And besides, our history is too long!"
"Then start tellin' me now, dummy!
And don't start crying or else you won't be able to narrate clearly!"
The man shivered at his change of tone,
But the fear he's feeling, made him lost,
What to tell, and how to tell the demon?
He closed his eyes, hoping a memory pops out sooner.
But all that left his mouth were blabberings,
As his whole body shivered like a cold puppy.
He was frightened, truly frightened,
As Asmodeus then choke him hard, every second, it continues to tighten.
"Tell me, now, you stupid human!"
"But...I...I don't know how to say it! Where to start!"
"Just tell me what happened, why she's so afraid!"
Then the man remembered, that fateful night so late.
Tears streamed from his eyes, as he recalls the day he lost her,
"It was a long time ago, we're 15 that point, it was a cold month of December...
I was young, and I could barely control my temptation,
So I asked her for a date, to sleep with her that night was my mission.
She...never had a boyfriend before, nor did she planned to have one,
Until I try my best to covince her, until I eventually won.
She was gullible and innocent, I took...advantage of that,
But I'm sure as a guy, you do understand?"
Asmodeus did not answer as his focused remained unwavered,
The man felt nervous, as he then continued his story quicker,
"She...she told me she loves me, and I told her if she does, we do the thing,
But...she kicked me hard the time we went on to do it,
And she never answered my calls the next morning.
Since then, I've heard that she rarely smiles anymore,
But I did really love her!
Although the news did spread like wildfire,
And it made her family despise her.
She never had a boyfriend after me,
And even though I tried to reach her, she won't answer me,
I wanted to fix us, but slowly lost our connection,
I didn't mean to scar her life, and to bring her family shame...
It was just my way to show affection-"
"Pleasure. Pleasure, you mean?
That was not love, it was sin,"
Asmodeus replied, as he remembered the first few years of him as a devil,
Sleeping with female demons and beautiful women, against their own will.
He changed however, after realizing that he didn't enjoy such actions,
So he swore to only sleep with those, who'd melt unto his arms one touch after.
He was still sinful, as loyalty was something he still needs to learn from,
Although since Sellena came, he wasn't so sure of what a man he had become.
He understood the man, lust was a powerful sin,
But since he loves Sellena, his calmness began to thinned.
Demons aren't meant to be just and fair,
They can be hypocrites, and Asmodeus was self-aware.
The other Princes would speak flowery things about him to Sellena,
But only to make her fall for him quickly, and get what he wants as a fella.
He even remembered the way he first saw her frail body,
How he wanted to touch her, intimately and wrongly.
But why did he suddenly feel like a child again when he began to know her better,
Why does he feel anew, hearing her sing to him, as his ginger hair she brushes with her delicate fingers?
Knowing that someone had touched her hand, kissed her before him,
Filled his heart with envy, stronger than it seemed.
He knew he had done a lot of cruel things,
Much crueler than this man before him,
But something about the man angers the demon,
That he couldn't dare hold his patience longer.
"What else?" He asked, waiting,
"I heard, she was often pestered by insults,"
"What more are they doing?"
The man seemed to not remember much,
So Asmodeus could only watch,
But the man began to burst out crying,
"Please, just release me now," he said quickly, still afraid of dying.
Asmodeus sighed, as he forced him to speak more,
"All I could recall, was that she lost trust in most men and became miserable!
Her parents are religious, so it was a huge blow on their ego,
I didn't intend to destroy that, I loved her truly when we're together.
Some time, I began to see that their family slowly healed,
Although she still don't like most men, in that particular kind of love she seemed not to believe,
She was always serious, and I could only watch from afar,
Sellena, I did love her, she was my first kiss, a fallen star,
But she felt too different, too cold,
I heard that she preferred, being alone.
It still hurts me, seeing her like that,
But no matter how hard I try,
She didn't want me back,"
Asmodeus was not convinced he loved her,
Since he would know, if the eyes lie or not,
Years and years of watching Satan work,
He knows a sincere look, and it wasn't that.
His eyes were lying, no matter how hard he tried,
"You did crueler things to her, but the remaining, you try to hide,"
"I did not! I would not!"
"Just spit them out, and no buts,"
The man did not continued and insisted with the same version,
But Asmodeus knew better, this man manipulated more than one situation,
"She may not have even loved you, and you may have just forced her,
At age 15, true love don't exist, if you claim they do, I would have given you laughter,"
Soon enough, Asmodeus stood up from his seat,
As he then released his chains, that then glowed in heat.
He freed the man, but locked the room,
"I'm still mad at you, though,"
"But what did I do?"
"The way you disrespected a high Prince's wife is enough reason for you to say goodbye,
Don't even try to reason, for I have 1000 ways in mind for you to die.
I know I may have done worse, but I'm a demon after all,
I could do anything I want to, I can torture you and more,
Now start running, and run as fast as you could,
I want a great exercise, to lighten up my mood,"
The man quickly fell to his knees, begging to be released,
But Asmodeus was not moved, and he showed him why he's a true beast.
He kicked him afar, as he kept telling him to run,
And so the man did, as Asmodeus thought it'd be fun.
He kept burning him slowly, as the man kept running away from him,
And when he was on the brink of dying, Asmo suddenly grinned.
"I was gonna skin you alive but...my wife is waiting,
So I'd just use my amulet, to do my bidding,"
He pulled out the eye shaped amulet, as the man's inners turned inside out,
He died painfully, ending his connection to the world with a shout.
Asmodeus had always been known to do questionable things when he's jealous,
And to be frank, he still felt quite furious,
He was childish, something Satan told him not to latch on always,
But he did not care. He was free who to choose as prey.
He dragged the human meat and placed it on a sack,
As he visited Nemue, to feed it to her pack,
The witch was delighted, as Ken took a quick peek,
Seeing the familiar demon, who was once seated next to the woman he seeks.
He wondered who he was, or why the sack smells so awful,
But he seemed important, and he knows where she is, so he continued to look over.
Asmodeus and Ken made a brief eye contact,
Before Ken felt too scared, as to his own lap he looked back.
The demon frowned as he was still in a bad mood,
So he left shortly, didn't even said goobye, though it was rude.
Nemue only sighed as she opened the mangled meat,
"Asmodeus sure was mad, this smells like mildly burned beef,"
Ken felt like throwing up when Nemue puts it inside,
Cutting them, on smaller size,
"The monsters I'd be feeding are children,
So I need to cut them equally, so their ratio won't be shorten,"
"May I ask if you'd please?
Who was the man that gave you these?"
"He is Lord Asmodeus, the Lord of Lust,
Don't worry much, for he's scarier in the past.
What remained of him now was a mellower version of him,
Although from time to time, he still commits something quite grim,
But as long as not provoked, he had better manners than the other Princes of hell,
Although to anger him, well, I'd rather not tell.
He is Satan's adoptive son after all,
So your fate in his hands is much worse than being mawled.
He's like two people in one body,
Try him, and you'd live so shortly..."
...
Meanwhile, Asmodeus felt regret of seeing her coldness as a sign of her disliking,
But in truth, it was her, still traumatised from the past she kept holding.
She was so afraid, to let her guard down again,
As she was very young, when that manipulation happened.
The man did not tell him everything, it was merely the surface.
So he would ask her, when the mood is set, and if she would may.
Asmodeus felt no guilt killing the man from before,
In fact, he was still unsatisfied, and he wished he would have lived longer,
So he could suffer more,
From his untamed anger.
