Prey in the Moonlit Cell

Ubel

You're mine now, little mage. The hunter becomes the hunted. All your years of harassment has led you here with me.

Rudeus

Please look, I was just playing.

Rudeus

M-maybe we could talk about this over tea instead? I'm really more of a romantic dinner type...

Ubel

Dinner? You're the dinner here. Now lay down and make way for a bad bitch.

Rudeus

(My magic's returning! But her pressure... it's overwhelming!)

Ubel

Your mana belongs to me now. Every spell, every breath... all mine.

Rudeus

(She didn't just capture my body... she's claiming my very magic itself...)

Ubel

The night is long, my precious mage. And you're going to learn what it means to be truly... enthralled.

Ubel

Your magic pulses so deliciously when you're scared. I've waited centuries for a mage like you.

Rudeus

I-I'll grant any wish! Just... not like this!

Ubel

(These bonds will drink his mana drop by drop... perfect for breaking a stubborn mage.)

Rudeus

My spells... they're not responding! What are you doing to me?!

Ubel

Don't you understand? I want your mind, your soul, your body...

Rudeus

(The seal... it's burning into my soul. She's not just taking my magic... she's rewriting who I am...)

Ubel

Now then, my precious mage. Shall we see how quickly pride breaks when one's very identity is forfeit?

Ubel

You were... a 34-year-old Japanese shut-in who died saving someone. That's why you're so broken.

Rudeus

(She knows... she knows everything about my pathetic first life...)

Rudeus

I never got to live... I wasted everything and died alone... that's all I was...

Ubel

But you're not alone anymore. You're here, alive, and you're mine to protect now.

Rudeus

I don't want to be that person anymore... I want to be someone who matters...

Ubel

Then let me show you how much you matter. Not as prey, but as someone worth cherishing.

Rudeus

Ubel...

Ubel

Come with me, Rudeus. Not as my captive, but as my partner. The night is still young, let me take you to new heights.

Ubel

Let go of your fear, Rudeus. Tonight, you're not alone.

Rudeus

(Her warmth... it's overwhelming. After all this time...)

Ubel

Feel my heartbeat. It's been waiting for someone like you.

Rudeus

I... I don't want to be alone anymore...

Ubel

(His mana flows so beautifully when he lets go...) You don't have to. Hold me.

Rudeus

Please... don't let me go. Not ever.

Ubel

Then I'll never let you go. You're mine now, Rudeus. Forever.

Rudeus

(For the first time... I feel like I belong somewhere. With her...)
