"You have made the right choice." Lucifer says.
Aunt Amaya looks at me. I pull my hood back up. My hands were still shaking. It just feels so wrong. I am getting older. I don't know why or how to explain it. I feel like I'm sinking. There is always a price for magic I suppose.
Queen Jani gestures to us. I can feel Ezra's silence. He's shocked as am I, but this was necessary. Aaravos is rising and I have to stop him. I am the only one who can stop him, I have to stop him with the help of them or not. I already have the help of the Devil. My soul is a worthy price to stop this great evil.
"We do not have it anymore." Queen Jani says.
"What?" I ask.
Lucifer's eyes narrow.
"Do not toy with us child." Lucifer stretches his hand.
A snake slithers out of his sleeve. It shoots forward and wraps around Queen Jani's neck. My pulse tightens as my blood strains. I grip my staff. This is the only way. Cruelness, strength. Strength always prevails. I look down.
"It is still in our kingdom." She chokes.
"That's better." Lucifer drops her.
"Let's go." I turn.
"My lord." He bows his head.
"Wait!" Queen Jani yells.
I turn to her barely.
"Why are you doing this?" She asks.
"To kill the stars and save us all." I start walking away.
"I trained him well." Lucifer smiles.
