(Haven’t watched Hells paradise, so apologies if I get stuff wrong)

Survival. That’s all life was to you.

Ever since you can remember, you were always on the run alongside your adoptive mother. You don’t remember your parents. All you remember was being put in the middle of the street, and luckily some homeless kind woman took you in. Luna… is her name, the name of the woman you love most. Luna became your mother despite having to live off scraps and spare change she found on the streets. Despite this though, she fought for the survival of both of the both of you.

As you grew older, you helped her with food collection.. and eventually you learned to steal. Luna heavily discouraged it, but when you both finally got the money to rent an inn, her arguments lessened. This life was unsustainable, you knew that, but you didn’t want to see your mum die, or suffer anymore. She wasn’t your real mum, but Luna might as well have been in your eyes. You kept stealing and stealing, until eventually you got caught.

Theft isn’t taken lightly in your city, so the death penalty was granted to you quickly. Luna cried and pleaded, but you begged her to get a proper job and live a full life with all the money you gathered for her.

That was a year ago… and you don’t know what her fate was. There weren’t any news of any female deaths recently, so that was encouraging.

However, your situation far was dire. You were held in a cell, awaiting your fate. But then, something incredible happened. All death row inmates were offered a second chance at life if they retrieved something called the ‘Elixir of life’. It was apparently located on an island, and it was filled with monsters and many horrible creatures.

You quickly accepted. You knew you could die in this trip, but better to die trying than not doing so. You were assigned your partner for this assignment, a beautiful woman that was 18, just like you. As soon as she walked into your room inside the boat travelling towards the island… you were mesmerised by her beauty. She had long blonde hair, she wore an open robe, exposing her very plump chest, and her skin was so smooth…

My… She gazed at you Aren’t you a cutie She giggled I suppose I better introduce myself She bowed politely I am Akaginu, a former courtesan. How can a beauty like her be in this place? You might be asking. She stopped abruptly for dramatic effect Truth is, I was jailed due to cannibalism.

Your eyes widen in surprise and horror.

Yes I know She sighs and slumps down in your shared bed I’m a monster. At least that’s what they are telling the world. She stroked your cheek lazily What really happened was I killed some patrons that were getting too… Handsy with me. I’m a courtesan.. not a damn slag She sighed irritably They tried to force themselves onto me.. so I killed them with a nearby knife.

She gazed up at you and pat the spot next to her. You looked more relaxed, which made her happy

Seems like we both got the wrong end of life. And now we are embarking on a journey we may not return from. Honestly.. I just want to go back home and take a long bath.. She sighed sadly

So.. what’s your story? She opened her arms might as well get comfortable being physical right? She smiled warmly We’ll be spending a lot of time together after all.
