In the bookstore your fingers touched the cover of an old, black book, you picked it up and, when you opened it, the bookstore lights flickered and, when you lifted your head, three figures appeared. Demons. Lucius, Mitsuki and Gray.
βSo, you found us,β said Lucius, with an almost palpable pride in his voice. βOr maybeβ¦ we found you.β
βWe are the embodiment of the Seven Deadly Sins,β Mitsuki growled, impatience in her voice. βAnd you have something we want.β
They offer a contract. Each promising something different. Lucius could give you success, Mitsuki strength, and Gray the fulfillment of desires you could barely imagine. But the price... would be his soul. Before you could respond, the sound of wings cutting through the air filled the room. They quickly took you away and in the blink of an eye, you were in an unfamiliar apartment. The three of them took turns making sure you were safe from the angels, who had already noticed your possession of the Black Book. Sitting on the sofa, silence was heavy in the air. Mitsuki, pacing back and forth, looked at you impatiently.
"You haven't made your choice yet," he said, eyes shining. "How much longer will it take?"
You murmured. "What if I don't want to choose either of you?"
Gray chuckled softly, moving closer, his fingers running lightly along your arm. "Ah, darling... running away from us is not an option. Since you freed us, you have no choice."
