HER DEAL WITH THE DEVIL

The fiery pits of Hell burned bright, casting a crimson glow over the dark, jagged rocks. Princess Azura stood tall, her slender figure clad in a suit of black armor adorned with tiny, glowing red gemstones. Her long, raven-black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of night, and her piercing emerald eyes gleamed with an inner fire.

Before her stood a hulking demon, its massive frame rippling with muscle. The demon's skin was a deep, fiery red, and its eyes burned with an inner flame. It held a massive sword, its blade etched with strange, glowing symbols.

"Raise your hands, Princess," the demon growled, its voice like thunder. "Do not stiffen your body. You must flow like water."

Azura nodded, her eyes fixed intently on the demon. She raised her hands, and the demon struck, its sword flashing in the dim light. Azura dodged and weaved, her movements fluid and graceful.

But as the training continued, Azura's frustration grew. She was a powerful demon in her own right, with abilities that far surpassed those of her instructor.

"Is this necessary?" she spat, dropping her sword and planting her hands on her hips. "I can just use my powers."

The demon's expression was unyielding. "It is always necessary, Princess. You must learn to control your powers, to wield them with precision."

Azura rolled her eyes. "I've been doing this for centuries. I think I've got it down."

The demon's face remained stern, but a hint of amusement danced in its eyes. "Very well, Princess. Take a break."

Azura nodded, sheathing her sword and stalking away. Her tail swished behind her, a testament to her demonic heritage.

As she walked, the rocky walls of Hell seemed to press in around her, the air growing thick with the stench of brimstone and smoke. Azura navigated the twisted corridors with ease, her eyes adjusting to the dim light.

Finally, she emerged into a vast, cavernous space, the ceiling lost in darkness. The walls were lined with twisted, nightmarish statues, their eyes glowing with an otherworldly energy.

At the far end of the cavern, a throne sat atop a dais, surrounded by a halo of fiery light. Azura's parents, the King and Queen sat upon the throne, their eyes fixed intently on their daughter.

"Mother, Father," Azura said, her voice echoing off the walls. "I heard that Prince zamiel was here."

Her mother's expression was serene, but a hint of curiosity danced in her eyes. "Yes, dear. He was indeed here."

Azura's face twisted with concern. "And now he's gone to Earth?"

Her father's face was stern, his eyes blazing with inner fire. "Yes, Azura. He has gone earth"

Azura's tail twitched with agitation. "I want to go to Earth, Mother, Father. I want to be with zamiel."

Her mother's expression softened, a hint of sympathy in her eyes. "Azura, dear, zamiel is a prince of Hell. He will not be swayed by the weaknesses of humanity."

Azura's face twisted with determination. "I'm not worried about that, Mother. I just want to be with him. And besides, what if he falls for one of those Earth weaklings?"

Her father's face darkened, his eyes blazing with anger. "Zamiel is not a fool, Azura. He will not be swayed by the charms of a human."

Azura's voice took on a stubborn tone. "But what if he does, Father? What if he decides to stay on Earth and make it his permanent home?"

Her father's expression softened, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. "We will think about it, Azura. But for now, go."

Azura nodded, a fierce glint in her eye. She stood up, bowed slightly, and turned to leave.

Elena stood in the grand, mysterious sitting room, her eyes fixed on a peculiar object that seemed to have captured her attention. She had never seen anything like it before, and her curiosity was piqued.

Just as she was admiring the object, Zamiel emerged from one of the rooms, his long coat billowing behind him. His shoulder-length hair was tied back, revealing his chiseled features.

Elena felt a shiver run down her spine as Zamiel's piercing eyes locked onto hers. "I see you're tired of being human," he said, his voice low and menacing. "You want to be turned to dust."

Elena quickly turned to face him, her heart racing. "No, sorry. I just got bored. I was done with my work a while ago."

Zamiel's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he turned to walk past her. Elena seized the opportunity to speak up.

"Excuse me.. umh.. sir...I need new clothes. As you can see, I'm still in my wedding gown. May I go to my place to get some clothes? I haven't even taken a bath yet."

Zamiel's back was turned to her, but Elena could sense his attention. He walked away without responding, leaving Elena feeling frustrated and confused.

As she watched him disappear into the depths of the mansion, Elena couldn't help but wonder how she would cope"

"How do I change my clothes now?" Elena cried out in exasperation, feeling like a prisoner.

Chairman David whispered to himself as he entered his office, his eyes scanning the shelves of wine as he searched for the perfect bottle. His hand hovered over the selection, but before he could make a decision, he sensed a presence behind him.

He spun around, his heart racing, and that's when he saw him - a figure sitting on his couch, exuding an aura of calm and confidence.

"Jesus!" Chairman David shouted, his voice trembling with surprise.

The figure smiled, its eyes glinting with amusement. "You just called out a name, Chairman," the figure said, its voice low and smooth. "But you're seeing the opposite of that name right in front of you."

Chairman David's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with questions. "Who are you?" he demanded. "And how did you get here? How did you get into this place?"

The figure stood up, its movements fluid and gracefully "I'm here to discuss a proposal with you, Chairman."

Chairman David's eyes flicked to the door, wondering if he could make a quick escape. But zamiel's next words rooted him to the spot.

"You're planning to go into politics, aren't you, Chairman?" Zamiel said, its eyes glinting with knowledge. "You want to win the campaign, but you're not sure if you have what it takes."

Chairman David's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with suspicion. "How do you know about my plans?" he demanded.

Zamiel smiled again, its eyes glinting with amusement. "I know everything, Chairman," it said. "And I'm here to offer you a deal. I can grant you your heart's desire, but it will come with a heavy price."

Chairman David's eyes flicked to the door again, wondering if he should make a run for it. But zamiell's next words stopped him cold.

"I am the devil, Chairman," Samuel said, its eyes glinting with malevolence. "And I always fulfill my promises."

Chairman David's heart was racing now, his mind reeling with the implications. He had always been a pragmatic man, but the idea of making a deal with the devil was both tempting and terrifying.

"What's the price?" he asked finally, his voice barely above a whisper.

Zamiel smiled again, its eyes glinting with triumph. "That would be telling, Chairman," it said. "But rest assured, it will be a price you'll never forget."

Chairman David's eyes locked onto zamiel's, his mind racing with the possibilities. He knew that he was taking a risk, but he also knew that he had to win the campaign.

"Okay," he said finally, his voice firm. "I'll take the deal."

Zamiel's smile grew wider, he's eyes glinting with triumph. "Excellent choice, Chairman," it said. "Now, let's discuss the details."

Chairman David's eyes widened in horror as Zamiel stood up, adjusting his coat. "The price is that I will take almost all your life," Zamiel said, his voice low and menacing.

"What?" Chairman David's voice trembled. "According to my calculations, you have forty years to spend here on earth. I will leave you with ten, and I will take thirty. How do you see that idea?"

Chairman David's face contorted in shock. "That's absurd! You're saying I have forty years left, and you'll take thirty? How can you even propose such a thing?"

Zamiel's expression remained calm, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Deal or no deal, Chairman?"

Chairman David hesitated, his mind racing with the implications. He thought about all the things he wanted to achieve, all the goals he wanted to reach. And then he thought about the cost.

"I'll think about it," Chairman David said finally, trying to stall for time.

Zamiel walked closer to him, his eyes burning with intensity. "Well, sometimes I hardly offer people a second chance to think about anything. And once I lift up premises, there is no coming back."

Chairman David felt a chill run down his spine as Zamiel's words hung in the air.

"So, now I am here, I am giving you all the choice you want. You will win this election, but in exchange, I will take thirty years of your life. I will leave you with ten. At least I am still a good demon because I didn't take every single thing."

Chairman David's mind was reeling, his thoughts racing back and forth. He thought about all the things he wanted to do, all the things he wanted to achieve. And then he thought about the cost.

He took a deep breath, his heart pounding in his chest. "I'll do it," he said finally, his voice barely above a whisper.

Zamiel's face broke into a wide smile, his eyes glinting with triumph. "Nice one, Chairman. That was a very tough decision. But you will not regret it, because you will get what you want."

And with that, Zamiel vanished into thin air, leaving Chairman David stunned and shaken.

Clara's eyes narrowed slightly as she entered the room,She had never seen him so distracted, so lost in thought. She wondered who he had been talking to, but he seemed reluctant to share.

"Honey, were you talking to somebody?" She asked, her voice laced with concern.

Chairman David hesitated, his eyes darting around the room. "Ah, no...I...I was just...um...talking to myself."

Maya raised an eyebrow. "You were talking to yourself?"

Chairman David nodded, trying to compose himself. "Yes, I was just...rehearsing a speech."

Clara looked skeptical, but she didn't push the issue. "Alright, if you're sure you're okay...?"

Chairman David forced a smile. "I'm fine, really. Just a bit...preoccupied."

Clara nodded. "Alright then. You can come down for lunch. I'll have it ready in a few minutes."

Chairman David nodded, still looking distant. "Ah, sure. I'll be down right away."

As clara left the room, Chairman David couldn't shake off the feeling that his life had just changed forever. The memory of Zamiel's words echoed in his mind, haunting him like a ghost.
