Y/n remained trapped within the confines of her own mind, a swirling darkness wrapping around her like a suffocating shroud. She could still hear the echoes of familiar voices—soft, yet powerful—piercing through the void.

“Y/n… I’m so sorry,” Lucifer’s voice resonated, filled with regret and sorrow. “I never meant to leave you behind. I should have protected you.”

Tears threatened to spill from her eyes as she felt the weight of his words. She remembered the warmth of his presence, the strength he had always offered her. But that warmth felt distant now, obscured by the darkness that had seeped into her heart.

“Lucifer…” she whispered, her voice barely a sound, lost in the vast emptiness. “I’m so lost…”

Then, a new voice emerged, cutting through the gloom. “You’re not lost, Y/n. You just need to find your way back.” It was Alastor, his tone steady and reassuring. “You have the power to fight this.”

As Y/n focused on his words, she felt a flicker of warmth in the cold darkness. Alastor’s essence seemed to reach her, a vibrant energy that contrasted sharply with the void surrounding her. “You’re stronger than you know. Remember who you are.”

Images flooded her mind—moments of joy, laughter, and love. The beautiful days spent with Lucifer, soaring through the skies of Heaven, the warmth of the sun on her wings. Then, there were the darker memories, the betrayal, the fall, the loneliness. But Alastor’s voice cut through those memories like a beacon of light.

“Y/n, listen to me,” he continued, his voice firm yet gentle. “You are not defined by the darkness that surrounds you. Your heart still holds the light of an angel. You can reclaim it.”

She felt something shift within her, a tug at the remnants of her heart. The darkness pressed in, but the warmth Alastor provided began to push back. She thought of their shared moments—his teasing, their banter, and the way he had stood by her side during the darkest times.

“Alastor…” she murmured, feeling a flicker of hope igniting inside her. “Can you really help me?”

“I believe in you,” he replied, and she could almost see him standing beside her, his unwavering gaze filled with determination. “Let me reach into your heart. Let me guide you back to the light.”

Y/n closed her eyes, willing herself to focus on that warmth. She felt Alastor’s presence enveloping her, wrapping her in a cocoon of comfort. The darkness pressed down, but she fought against it, reaching for the light within her heart.

In that moment, Alastor’s energy surged through her, filling the void with radiant warmth. It was as if he was pulling the light from deep within her, reigniting the flicker that had been so close to extinguishing. She could feel the dark tendrils receding, struggling against the onslaught of warmth and hope.

“Breathe, Y/n,” Alastor urged, his voice steady and calming. “You are not alone. I’m here with you. Together, we can fight this.”

With each breath she took, she felt stronger. The memories of her past—both light and dark—swirled around her, but they no longer had the power to consume her. She remembered the love she had for her brother and the bond they shared, as well as the newfound connections she had made with Alastor and her friends.

“Lucifer, Alastor,” she called out, her voice rising with newfound strength. “I’m here! I’m not giving up!”

The darkness recoiled as if wounded, and she pushed further, reaching for the light that was her birthright. She felt Alastor’s warmth enveloping her completely, pulling her closer to the light. The flicker within her grew into a flame, bright and unwavering.

In that moment, she could feel the essence of her angelic self returning. Her wings, once twisted and blackened, began to shimmer with hints of white, fighting through the shadows that had plagued her for so long.

“Keep going!” Alastor urged, his presence a steady anchor amidst the chaos. “You’re breaking through!”

With one final surge of willpower, Y/n embraced the warmth, pushing against the darkness with everything she had. Light exploded from within her, a brilliant glow that shattered the confines of her mind.

In the real world, Y/n’s body stirred, her wings flaring with a blinding light. Alastor and Lucifer watched, breathless, as her form began to stabilize, the darkness retreating in a burst of radiant energy.

“Y/n!” Lucifer shouted, hope flooding his voice.

As the brilliance enveloped her, Y/n felt the darkness disintegrate, leaving only the warmth of love and the promise of redemption. She was no longer trapped; she had found her way back.

“Alastor… Lucifer…” she breathed, finally free, as she opened her eyes to the world around her, surrounded by those who loved her.
