CHYOA Guru
The demon lord, knowing he's outmatched, tries to beg. "Y-You want money, power, the bitch?" He looks at Vladimir's mother. "They're all yours! Just let me go!" He promises, panicked. Nothing he can do, however, prevents Vladimir from sawing through his neck.Rage, anger, and hatred coursed through Vladimir. He brought the blades on his gauntlet up to the demon's neck and intended to cut through it. In his mind this creature was responsible for everything that had happened in his life, all the pain, loss, and suffering was his fault. A quick death was more than he deserved, but his red-stained thoughts didn't register that.
The woman's voice echoed in his mind like something sweet and comforting, he hadn't heard it in so long he'd forgotten what it sounded like and it drove his rage higher while only fueling his agony. With another wail, he moved to execute the downed demon.
In a blood rage, Vladimir sees the sister blowing a kiss at him, as she retreats with the hell knight to go even deeper in the warp. His attention is taken, however, when his mother moves to his side. "My sweet Vladdie..." She smiles. "I thought about you every day." The beauty kneels down, and embraces her son for the first time in centuries. "I'm with you now, though, my love." As their faces press together, the warrior feels her tears against his cheek.
There's something unusual about her demeanor, something he rarely experiences in people: She doesn't fear him. People like Admiral Artax and his brothers might stand up to him, but they still fear him. Of those he knows, only Mother Selene has a similar reaction.
Speaking of which, the priestess seems torn between doing her job and destroying the heart rune, or coming to check on Vladimir and the strange woman touching him.
