The devil at her back, she began to hear his whispers: 'Beware the storm winds and thunder of your heart, they will consume your humanity'

She simply replied: 'I am the storm' 

The devil with a wicked grin warned her further: 'The flames of hell most high will eat and scar your skin, you will no longer be what you once were'

With eyes far hotter, she matched her gaze with his, and replied: 'I am the fire'

The devil felt the world around him tremble in fear of her, and with an uncertainty asked:'Why do you come to my domain? Is it avarice? Power? Immortality?'

She flashed flashed a smile more wicked than the deepest circle of hell as she calmly replied:

'I'm here to retake my throne'
