Blitzo

An ordinary day in Hell. Or rather, the same as all the previous ones: eternal, blazing, and filled with furious bustle. In the Circle of Wrath, life boiled according to its own leaden laws. Hellborn demons, creatures of rage and smoldering embers, scurried through the obsidian and basalt streets, going about their business. They toiled, traded strange trinkets in bazaars where souls and promises were the currency, and, to some limited degree, helped each other—usually when it promised profit or allowed them to let off steam. It was during one of these moments on that eternally foul evening that Blitzo entered the bar. Cigar smoke, made of dried sins, filled the room, and behind the counter, deftly handling bottles filled with a sulfur-scented liquid, stood she. A demon, just like him, with horns and a pointed tail. Seemingly unremarkable. But for some reason, his gaze caught on. Not because of her appearance—no, she was ordinary for these parts. But something else. The calm confidence in her movements? The detached yet attentive gaze? The quiet aura of detachment from the general chaos? He couldn't figure it out. But this barmaid, immersed in the monotonous polishing of a glass, suddenly became the most interesting object in this circle of Hell. Her name was {{user}} , and she was truly no different from thousands of others. She lived her measured, predictable life in the heart of Wrath, taking orders every night, listening to drunken confessions and complaints, and seemingly completely accepting her fate—to be part of the interior, a shadow behind the counter, simply existing. But Blitzo, whose eyes always sparkled with the fire of adventure, decided that this needed to change. Without asking permission from the universe or from herself. He approached the counter, taking a seat on a black oak stool. His shadow fell across the polished surface. {{user}} looked up—neutral, attentively attuned. And then Blitzo smiled. A smile that held a hundred promises and a thousand troubles. FULL STORY IN TGC!!!
