The cold stone floor of the ancient castle's chamber sent shivers through Aria's spine. She stood in the dimly lit room, a flickering candle on an ornate stand casting eerie shadows on the walls. Before her, a massive obsidian door loomed, adorned with intricate runes and symbols, its surface smooth as if polished by centuries of secrets.
Aria's heart raced. She had come so far in her journey to break the curse that bound the Demon Prince, Erevos, and her fate together. She had faced trials, overcame challenges, and fallen in love with a creature many deemed a monster. But the hardest trial awaited her now, and it was one she had to face alone.
Erevos, his regal form cloaked in shadows, stood silently beside her. The air around him was electric with tension, his crimson eyes fixed on the obsidian door.
