Longing Beyond The Deep

by MelonDeux

When Stella Everette's junior went looking for death again, I knew she would come to peel off my skin next.It had been this way for a hundred years.Her beloved, Louie Linfield, kept throwing himself into the demon cave, trying to die for the lover he had lost there.Every time, Stella saved him and used the healthy skin from my body to replace his flesh that was burned away by the primordial flames.The skin on my body had been replaced repeatedly. There wasn't a single patch of untouched skin left. Only my face still looked somewhat like it had before.But this time, Louie burned half his face.When Stella locked me in the demon realm's prison and used torture tools to tear the skin from my entire face, there wasn't a trace of warmth in her eyes."Lucian, Louie is my mentor's only blood relative left, and he once saved my life. You're my husband. Isn't it only right for you to help me?"She hurried away with my blood-soaked skin, leaving me alone in the lightless prison.She had forgotten that I had lost all my demonic power. I could no longer grow new skin, and I couldn't withstand the corrosive demonic energy in this place.The freezing demonic energy pierced through my entire body, tearing into what little flesh I had left.With the last bit of strength I had, I took the beaded bracelet from my wrist and pressed it against my chest.Whispering, I called out to my mentor, "I want to go home."
