Razilla, Demon of Destiny

~PARAGON CINEMATIC UNIVERSE: PHASE 4, BOOK 4~

*This novel serves as the 4th novel of Phase 4. It is technically a standalone narrative, but uses major villains from past novels in the franchise.*

"Do you get tired of the endless fires of Hell licking at your heels? Do you grow weary of hearing the sounds of sizzling flesh, ear-piercing screams, and the laughs of demons? Do you long for a chance at redemption? To cross over to an eternity beyond the pearly gates? Well, today's your lucky day, folks.....because I, Razilla, am here to show you the way!" -Razilla Ashbane

Hell is typically seen as a realm of fire, brimstone, and eternal suffering. Under the watchful eye of the Devil himself, the souls of those who lived sinfully during their lives are sent down here at the end of it all, fated to plunge into the lake of fire and writhe in untold agony for eternity. With his army of loyal demons, the Devil rules Hell with an uncontested iron fist, and almost no one dares to question his reign.

No one.....except for Razilla Ashbane.

Unlike others, Razilla has started to feel sorry for the tortured souls, and she wishes deep within her heart that they could have another chance at peace. But with the Devil in charge, any dreams she has for the souls' hypothetical "second chance" are destined to be dashed.

Soon, she decides that enough's enough. Those in Hell's custody have burned for long enough, and it's time to test them to see if their torture should continue. And what better way to do so than with Razilla's "Rehabilitation Race", a set of challenges concocted by the quirky demon herself to determine which souls are worthy of redemption, and even safe passage to Heaven?

And so, with determination flowing deep within her spirit, Razilla sets out to dethrone the Devil from power and put her own plans into motion, while learning a lesson or two about mercy, reconciliation, and one's capacity to truly do good along the way.....
