"Eve?" Riel calls out, he feels ecstatic to be able to meet Evelynn again but ever since he woke he had felt a sense of doom he couldn't shake off. Ever since he last saw her, his reputation amongst the town people had plummeted. He sees their looks of disdain toward him, his own parents can't even look at him. It was only right for him to feel down in the dumps but it didn't affect him. He was fine. It wasn't a lie nor was it a statement to present himself as someone stronger than he actually is. It was the truth. It was his unspoiled truth. He didn't feel shame for cheating or regret instead he felt elated. He could take every scornful look and disdainful words because he had Eve by his side.

His Eve.

When he had first seen her, he felt like she was a nymph. Something mystical that couldn't be touched, a hallucination that can never come true. Something that a mere human like him could only hope to obtain. He was but a speck of dust in the world, amounting to nothing and owning nothing but she had chosen him. Out of everyone, him. People can talk him down and say he was a bastard for leaving his own child and wife to be in another woman's embrace but Riel knew they were hypocrites who would do the same thing in his place. When the hand of a deity is outstretched to you, would you not take their hand? Would you not follow the glory of the golden light that encompasses her being? You would because humans are greedy. Even the most faithful person will leave their spouses if offered a better deal. Do you think the love of your life wouldn't leave you if someone more caring, understanding, supporting than you had approached them? They would. The only thing humans are faithful to is their avarice. When people think of greed, most would imagine a pile of gold or a mansion of diamonds but humans aren't only gluttonous for material wealth. They yearn for acceptance, forgiveness, and to be cared for. Riel was just one of those humans. He left everything he had to bask in Eve's touch and warmth. Before he met Eve he had felt content in his insignificant life. Now, he knew how big the world is from his small town. Now, he wants more. More. More.

More of her. Everything. I want everything.

"Riel? Come closer" A melodious harmony fills the air and the world stops, to stand still for a moment to hear her voice. Riel would've preferred a better location rather than some dark alley but he didn't call the shots in the relationship. He was but a dog on a leash. He comes closer and to into an inevitable end.

Pain. Indescribable pain he had never felt before. His feet were the first, amputated to avoid escape. Pain shooting up, every nerve of his body screaming. The next thing he knew five sharp claws digging into his right shoulder while a hand wraps around his neck. He tries to escape, try to scream for help but no one hears. Tears well up in his eyes, he felt everything come crashing down. Scared. He didn't want to die, not in here. Not when he still had an unborn child he wasn't able to see. He almost smiled at the irony, the first thing he left was his family and now the first thing that enters his mind at the brink of death was his family. Although, dying this way wasn't that much of a tragedy. He supposed this was just the gods punishing him and seeing through his facade of regretfulness because he'd do this again. Over and over. Like a masochist, he will never get enough of the brief thrill every time her eyes lay upon him. Even if now he knew what it meant to be chosen, at least he was chosen. A scream tore the silence of the night as he felt his stomach being split open, a hand messing around with his organs and tearing his intestines out. If he was able to vomit, he'd puke from the absolute gore of his sanguinary death. The light fades from Riel's eyes his pupils dilate as he feels his demise. Death knocking on his door.

'Oddly, it doesn't feel too bad'
