Demon's Desire
By Jacob

18 Oct, 2023

In the heart of the underworld, a demon boy named Azazel nursed an unusual desire. Unlike his kin, who reveled in chaos and destruction, Azazel had a fascination with the human world, especially a human girl.

The girl, named Lily, was an ordinary human girl. She lived in a small town, went to school, and spent her free time reading books about mythical creatures.

Azazel's fascination with Lily wasn't just rooted in her normality. He was intrigued by her kindness, her empathy, and her unwavering belief in the goodness of people.

One day, Azazel mustered the courage to visit the human world. Using his demonic powers, he took on a human form to blend in.

As he roamed the human town, he was taken aback by its simplicity, its tranquility, and above all, its peace. This was a stark contrast to the underworld he was used to.

He finally gathered the courage to approach Lily. He introduced himself as a new student, hiding his demonic nature. Lily, with her welcoming nature, quickly befriended him.

As days passed, Azazel found himself enjoying his time with Lily. He enjoyed their talks, their walks, and the human experiences she showed him.

However, his desire to conquer the world never left him. He was torn between his newfound friendship and his demonic nature.

His internal struggle reached its peak when he overheard a group of demons planning an attack on the human world. The target was Lily's town.

Azazel was torn. He didn't want to betray his kind, but he also didn't want Lily or her town to suffer.

His decision was made when he looked at Lily's innocent face. He decided to protect her and her town, even if it meant opposing his own kind.

Azazel stood against the demons, revealing his true nature to Lily. To his surprise, she didn't run away in fear but stood by his side.

Together, they fought off the demons. Azazel used his powers while Lily provided moral support. Their combined efforts successfully repelled the attack.

After the battle, Azazel was prepared for Lily to shun him. However, she simply thanked him for protecting the town and accepted him for who he was.

This acceptance made Azazel question his desire to conquer the world. He realised that he didn't want to rule a world where Lily was afraid.

He decided to abandon his ambition, choosing instead to protect the world that Lily loved. He promised to use his powers to keep her and her world safe.

The underworld was in uproar when they found out about Azazel's betrayal. The demon king, Azazel's father, was furious and vowed to punish him.

But Azazel didn't care. He had found something more important than power or conquest. He had found friendship, acceptance, and a place where he belonged.

From that day forward, Azazel split his time between the human world and the underworld. He continued his friendship with Lily and protected her world from his kin.

Lily, on the other hand, continued her ordinary life. She kept Azazel's secret and often helped him understand the human world better.

They became an unusual pair, a demon and a human, standing together against any threat. Their bond was unbreakable, their friendship, unyielding.

Azazel's desire to conquer the world was replaced by the desire to protect it. His heart, once filled with ambition, was now filled with warmth.

Lily's belief in the goodness of people, including demons, was proven right. Her kindness had changed the heart of a demon, turning him into a protector.

Their story spread throughout both worlds, becoming a legend. The tale of a demon boy who wanted to conquer the world but ended up protecting it, all because of a human girl.

The demon boy who sought friendship over domination, and the human girl who accepted him as he was, had changed the course of their worlds. Their story was a symbol of hope, acceptance, and the power of friendship.

The story of Azazel and Lily remains a beacon of hope in both worlds, reminding everyone that kindness, understanding, and friendship can indeed change the world.
