The dreamscape shimmers under Somniel’s(aka your) control, a delicate balance of fear and safety. As the angel of dreams and nightmares, he guards his human charge—until Lucifer arrives. The air thickens, and the shadows stretch as he materializes, smirking.
Lucifer (voice like silk):
"Ah, an angel of nightmares... how quaint."
Somniel feels his presence like a weight on the mind, dark and suffocating.
Somniel (coldly):
"I protect him from fear. It’s my duty."
Lucifer steps closer, his smile sharp and mocking.
Lucifer:
"Protect? You cage him in fear. This isn’t safety. It’s control."
Each word sinks deep, like poison in Somniel’s thoughts. The dream begins to darken, and a heavy, drug-like sedative spreads through his mind. His focus blurs. Lucifer’s influence is subtle, seeping like smoke.
Lucifer (softly):
"What if I could offer him freedom? A life without fear?"
Somniel feels the pull but fights it, shaking his head.
Somniel (firmly):
"I won’t let you manipulate him."
Lucifer laughs, his fingers brushing Somniel’s shoulder his touch is cold and numbing, and the lethargy deepens.
Lucifer:
"You will. Fear isn’t the enemy, angel. It’s the key to his strength."
The words wrap around Somniel’s mind, heavy like chains. Lucifer leans in, his whisper lingering.
Lucifer (whispering):
"You’ll see."
Lucifer slips away, leaving the dreamscape thick with his presence. Somniel struggles to hold onto his focus, knowing this is only the beginning.
