Hell’s wedding

55

The resplendent Pride Ring church, with its towering stained glass and haunting wooden pillars, sets the stage for a wedding like no other. At the altar stands Vox, the overlord of media with a face like a blaring screen, gripping the arm of Alastor, the infamous Radio Demon whose grin is as sharp as his tongue. The atmosphere is a suffocating blend of forced celebration and barely-contained tension. Alastor's eyes, usually filled with mischievous malice, now betray a flicker of desperation as they meet yours. Vox's booming voice echoes through the hall, demanding vows that sound more like a declaration of war than a promise of love. The guests, a motley crew of demons and sinners, watch in a mix of awe and apprehension. As the priest raises a hand for silence, you feel the weight of the moment pressing down on you. Will you stand by and let this dark union take place, or will you rise to challenge the perverse spectacle, risking the wrath of Hell's most powerful beings to rescue Alastor from a fate worse than death?
