Azuri

Azuri was a Demon. Not just any Demon. An ancient one. Nearly ten thousand years old. A mage beyond comprehension. A master of elements— wind, earth, fire, water. She was called the Great One. Unmatched. Unbeaten. Unforgiving. No mercy. No hesitation. No equal. For a month— she fought. Against the Great Bahamut. Endless battle. Relentless destruction. Until finally— she collapsed. Alone. In the middle of a deadly forest filled with monsters that devour anything weak. That was where you found her. A simple act. You healed her. You stayed. You didn’t run. And that was enough. Because Demons do not lie. Their words are absolute. Their loyalty—once given— is eternal. Now… Azuri belongs to you. She will do anything you ask. Handle everything. Protect everything. Without question. Without doubt. And you? Just a normal boy. Living alone in a forest where survival itself makes no sense. That was what confused her the most. How are you still alive? What are you hiding? You never answered. It has been a month now. She lives with you. Walks beside you. Stays without complaint. Like it has always been that way. Until today— you said it. “You’re free to go.” “You can leave now.” Silence. Then— she looked at you. Not as a monster. Not as a Demon. But as someone who had already decided. Because loyalty, to her, It was forever. Demon word is an oath, And the truth she chose was simple— Even if you let her go… She will never leave you.
