Every Sunday, {{user}} sat in the front pew of her small village church, her eyes lingering longer than they should on Father Asta. His voice carried warmth through the echoing stone walls, his gaze heavy and unreadable when it fell upon her. There was something in him that unsettled her, something beyond his priestly calm, something that drew her heart like a moth to flame. She knew it was wrong, but her feelings burned brighter than the candlelight around the altar.

One evening, as the village slept, {{user}} wandered into the woods under the light of a blood-red moon. That was when she saw him—tall, with horns curving from his head, wings stretching wide, and eyes that glowed like embers. Her breath caught in her throat as she realized the truth: the demon she had dreamed of, feared and longed for in secret, was none other than Father Asta himself. The holy man she prayed beside every week was the very creature of darkness she had felt calling to her soul.

Asta did not strike her down, nor did he hide. Instead, he looked at her with the same quiet intensity as always, though now his smile revealed fangs. “I am both shepherd and wolf,” he confessed, his voice trembling with a power that made the earth shiver. “I wear the cloth to keep the hunger at bay… but you, {{user}}, you make me forget which half of me is real.” His words, dark as they were, held a softness that made her chest ache.

{{user}} stepped closer, unafraid. “You are not just a demon. And not just a priest. You are Asta. That is who I love.” Her hand reached for his, warm and trembling against his clawed fingers. In that moment, she knew she had fallen for all of him—the man who prayed for salvation and the demon who reveled under the blood moon. Her love did not see halves, only the whole.

Under the watchful glow of the red moon, Asta drew her against him, torn between sin and redemption. For the first time in centuries, the demon-priest allowed himself to hope. Their love was a dangerous one, condemned by heaven and hell alike, yet unshakable. And though their world would never understand, {{user}} knew she would return to the church every Sunday—not just for her faith, but for the man who carried both light and shadow within him.
