"What do you say, son of Adam?" Belial turned both their faces to Matthew. "You can go back to Earth. Everything that happened inViolentia can stay behind. You won't need to hold yourself back anymore. You won't need to keep yourself in check afraid of losing control. You'll finally be able to relax." The demon's words were sweet.
Matthew looked at the ziggurat behind him. He then looked at Avariel and Nanael who were now silent. Both the angels knew they couldn't guarantee that their god would help him. They knew how important it was for Matthew to turn back into human and go back to Earth.
They just looked at him hoping that he wouldn't accept the demon's proposal. Nothing good could come from it.
Ffyr touched his shoulder and squeezed it. She could feel his indecisiveness through their connection. Unlike the angels, she didn't have any prejudice towards demons and making deals with them. But Ffyr didn't trust Belial.
