10 years ago:
The day that Akali has been waiting for nearly the whole her life finally came, the day when she became the real priestess both mentally and physically. Today was the day when she's supposed to become the one with the demon that was her destiny. To say that the woman was excited would be an understatement, she wasn't able to stand still for more than a couple of minutes. Her normal calm and collected attitude as if vanished, replaced with excitement. Today her long and faithful service for the Blood Moon shall be rewarded. Even though Akali was the worshipper of the Goddess for nearly twenty years, she had yet to be granted the honor to share her human vessel with a demon that to some extent existed deep inside of her. It's said that she's the first woman to agree to follow the dark path that was designated by the Moon Goddess herself. Frankly saying, for years she wasn't even aware that the people like her even existed, then she's approached by the mysterious man who named himself Twisted Fate and was currently in charge of the whole cult of the Blood Moon. He's also the one who informed her that she's worthy to become the one with the demon. The message with a location where the ritual would be performed was designated with his signature, for the woman it's enough, after all, the man had the favor of their Goddess on his side.
It took the raven-haired woman nearly a month to reach the sacred place of the cult. During that time, she's forced to halt her journey several times, caused by her inner demon need to be fed, she needed to be fed with desire, with lust, with helplessness, and the priestess provided that with pleasure. When she finally reached the peak of the mountain where the ceremony was meant to be held, the woman must admit, it wasn't anything that she expected. There was nearly nothing around there, plain peak a bit of snow and a single small altar where she could spot the dried blood. None member of the cult was there yet, after all, the ritual was planned to take place when the Sun would go down, taking place for the living manifestation of their Goddess, Moon. It wouldn't be the simple plain white Moon, no tonight the Goddess would have risen with her avatar covered in a blood-red color. Akali had nothing better to do than to meditate, pray to her Goddess to be seen as worthy of the honor that she would be granted later tonight. The raven-raided woman discarded her red outfit, staying in only a thin material of her underwear, placing her swords before her. She closed her eyes, letting her mind drift into the realm of the Blood Moon, to seek guidance, to seek the peace of mind.
The priestess didn't even notice when the day started to come to its end. She didn't feel cold that that high in the mountains should have already killed the normal human more than once, she didn't feel ashamed when she heard the footsteps of the fellow members of the cult, she didn't care at all. Akali didn't put her clothes back on herself, instead, she stood up and closed the distance between her and the altar.
"Stand aside weakling," Jhin growled.
"Is she that stupid to oppose the master of the ceremony? I guess I'll have fun spilling her blood tonight in the name of the Moon." The executioner said with a wide smile.
"Are you deaf, woman?" The mage shouted. "Do you know the consequences of opposing me?"
"The Blood Moon has already spoken, I'm to finally be the one with my demon." The priestess said calmly. "Do your job Jhin and summon the missing part of me already."
"You aren't the only one who is to be put into the trial. You need to wait for your turn," Shen stated cooly.
"Who will try as the first, then?" The raven-haired priestess asked.
"Katarina." The voice of the leader of the cult sounded. "Even though she isn't with us for long, I strongly believe she's ready to be merged with her demon."
"I assume the will of the Goddess means nothing to you, then Fate?" The black-haired assassin asked venomously.
"The Goddess will is my own, I know what must be done. You aren't going to lose your chance to be united with the creation of our master, but you need to wait."
"Why?"
"Cause I said that, and you as the member of the cult and as the priestess are required to obey my command."
"Fate, let me tell you one thing." The ninja started in a low voice. "I'm the only one who ever had talked with our Goddess, she's telling me to reach for my destiny, and then you're making me wait, making the Goddess waits."
"Child, a little patience you'll have your chance."
"Fine."
"Katarina, come closer, your time has come." The leader said to the white-haired woman with a pink mask on her face.
"Yes, leader," Katarina responded, closing the distance between her and them.
"Don't get yourself killed," Akali spat. "I don't have time to fight with your demon, I have my own to defeat."
"I wouldn't worry about me."
"Confident, aren't you? We'll see how truly strong are you. Jhin, begin."
"I don't follow your orders, weakling."
"I'd really recommend you to start then."
"Jhin, we can start," Twisted Fate said.
"As you wish, master."
The raven-haired assassin took a few steps back and still half-naked started to watch as the ceremony master worked. She must admit, his skills in magic, casting spells were impressive, but it's nothing that cold steel couldn't surpass. The whole process of creating the correct incantation took Jhin about 15 minutes or so to complete. Even though he's fully clothed the woman could easily spot that the hot sweat was steaming in the cold air. The task apparently was tiring the mage, another weakness of him, the assassin whispered under her nose. After what felt like an eternity, the portal opened before the altar. The skies that were already blood-red, became even darker. The portal was flickering for at least a minute before the demon started to make its way through it. The demon was a woman with breathtaking beauty, a single glance at her was enough to tell that she had a body that both men and women would kill for, or pay any price to spend a few wild moments the demoness. Her blood-red hair was put into the high placed bun, her eyes were lited with a sapphire glow, from her forehead two medium-lengthed horns grew up. Her outfit was rather skimpy to tell at least, her kimono was loosely tied to the point that with every single step the demoness took her whole things were being exposed to the level of her slim pelvis. On her throat, she had a tight black lace choker. Her whole appearance as if screamed I'm gonna seduce you and use you as much as I want.
"Charmer?" Yasuo snorted. "I thought better of you, little one."
"Oh, you doubt my value, young man?" The demoness asked in a seductive low voice. "Mhhh, I'm gonna enjoy raping all of you, once I'm done with that little bird that stands before me."
"Keep dreaming, you're mine, demon."
"Aaaa, a little kitten has claws?" The red-haired teased. "I'm already interested, you don't have to put yourself on the plate for me, I'll do it myself."
"I'd recommend you to shut up," Katarina growled.
"Make me, darling."
Without a second to waste the white-haired priestess leaped to the demon immediately slashing with both of her blades. Unfortunately for her, the red-haired succubus blinked a few steps forward dodging all of her attacks. The long curved claws of the demoness met the thin leather armor of the assassin. To be perfectly honest they tore it apart with such an ease that even Akali was surprised by the sight of it. The white-haired woman screamed when the claws made three long wounds on her back causing heavy bleeding. The fight was unfair, the demoness was much stronger and experienced than the assassin, it seemed as if the monster just toyed with her prey before devouring it. Akali was lost in her thoughts, there was something intoxicating about the succubus thas occupied her mind, but she couldn't exactly point out what was that. The raven-haired felt like she had some kind of connection with the demon that was strengthening with every passing moment. The fight itself was boring in the eyes of the older priestess, Katarina wasn't ready to face the charmer and she learned it hard way, through her own pain. It's already known that the white-haired would die sooner or later, it only depended on how much the demon wanted to play with her. For Akali, there was no point in watching it, letting the fight to continue. The bond that she started to feel was getting stronger and the raven-haired was nearly sure that the charmer was part of her destiny, she's meant to be the part of her. With a heavy sigh, the ninja watched the combat for several more minutes before she just attacked the demoness.
"Oh, it isn't fair to fight two against the one, honey." The demon whispered playfully.
"Don't count that weakling as an opponent, I'm the only one you need to fight against."
"What will you do with the girl, then?"
"End her humiliation," Akali responded and instantly appeared before the white-haired priestess, hitting her in the stomach and pushing away.
"Darling, that was so nasty, I like it." The demoness purred.
"What's your name, demon?"
"Evelynn, for you, however, Eve."
"Splendid, be part of me, Eve. Become my demon."
"You know the rules, you need to defeat me." The woman chuckled.
"I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Don't be so confident, dear. Your predecessor already made that grave mistake, and she's currently living only because you knocked her out of the fight."
"Don't compare me to her!" The raven-haired woman ordered. "She'll years of hard training to be near my level, and even then I'd crush her. Fight seriously or give up, the choice is yours."
"It'll be fun till it lasts," Evelynn purred while launching the attack at the assassin.
"Test me," Akali taunted the demoness, blocking the claws with ease.
"It seems you're telling the truth, you aren't as weak as her. It's fantastic, my hunger for your pain, and your body is only rising."
True to her words, the demon sped up her pace and started to take the fight more seriously. The priestess would have lied if she said that it's easy for her to block or dodge attacks of the blood-frenzy monster. Each passing moment seemed to only strengthen the red-haired succubus that felt completely in control. Akali was doing everything she could to survive the brutal onslaught of the demon, but as the mere human her body started to tire after some time. It wasn't long before the half-naked body was marked by the claws of the monster for the first time. She's a millisecond late to block the slash and she only ended up blocking it partly, one of the claws torn through her skin on the arm, sending the impulse of burning pain into her head. The priestess jumped back in the heartbeat, adjusted her posture, preparing for the next assault. She didn't have to wait long. It seemed like a fraction of the second was all it took for the demonesses to closed the gap between them and engaged the raven-haired woman. The assassin's swords weren't able to reach the succubus, who was omitting them gracefully. Even though it's clear for both of the fighters who was truly winning, Akali didn't give up, she gathered all her strengths and was fighting back with all she got. It wasn't enough, the demoness was quicker than her, stronger than her, and to make the matter even worse, she seemed to be immune to fatigue. The same couldn't have been said about the ninja. With every passing minute, she felt her body was losing its power, its strength. It's only a matter of time before the priestess started to receive more and more wounds inflicted by the enemy. Akali wasn't able to win the fight, it's nearly settled and done, but she wasn't ready to give up, she wasn't ready to just die. It wasn't the destiny that she's promised.
It's really difficult for the raven-haired to estimate how much time they're fighting. Akali was already bruised, the fresh blood was streaming from numerous cuts and wounds, she's weak, she's beaten, but somehow she's still standing on her feet and fighting.
"There is no way you can win, you know that?" The demon whispered into the ear of the woman. "You fought well but it isn't enough to beat me," Evelynn added while one of her hand enveloped around the waist of the human, the second resting on the throat of the latter.
"I won't give up," Akali responded weakly.
"Haha, you're such a precious prey, you know?" The succubus purred. "Even your body is betraying you, you became slow, clumsy, there is nothing left from the assassin that started the fight a while ago."
"It doesn't matter. I need to defeat you, to fulfill my destiny," Akali breathed out.
"Honey, how do you think you're going to do that? You have already lost so much blood that it's really impressive for me that you're still standing."
"I'll fight till I draw my last breath."
"Then let me help you with that." The red-haired monster said with a mischievous smile.
"Aghgggh" The priestess cried out when the claws pierced through her abdomen muscles, making their way into the body of the worshipper of the Blood Moon.
"You have such a wonderful body, it's such a waste that I have to kill you," Evelynn purred into her ear. "I can feel all of those strong muscles tensing, tightening around my fingers, I can feel those strong hands of yours that could probably break human bones, losing their strength, softening against my body, I can already taste your sweet blood, that is driving me crazy. You're perfect, it's such a shame that you weren't stronger."
"I'm…not…going..to die." The woman mumbled the blood started to slip from the corners of her lips.
"You're about to, goodbye beautiful. It's such a good fight, now I need to obtain my reward," Eve whispered licking her lips.
"If I'm to die … you're going with me."
"Hmmm, I don't see it coming."
The demon didn't notice when the latter somehow rose her hands that were still holding the sharp blades. Her eyes widened with a terror when she finally understood what the woman wanted to do, but it's already too late for her to stop it. Without hesitation, the ninja pushed her weapon into her flesh, piercing both of them. The scream that escaped the throat of the succubus was filling with true agony. The steel was burning her, causing her to leap off her prey, trying to tend to her wounds. They weren't closing, they weren't healing, something that was on those blades prevented her demon's from regenerating. She felt dizzy in an instant, she felt as if she's drunk.
"I need to get out of here!" She screamed not caring if the humans heard her or not.
"You aren't going anywhere without me," Akali stated weakly.
"Get away from me mortal!" The demon ordered.
"No, you and I, we're destined to be together. If one of us can't live the other one can't as well." The priestess somehow stood up and started to run into the demoness.
"What are you doing fool?" The red-haired demon cried out. "You're going to kill us both."
"That's what I'm going to do. Goodbye, my demon." The ninja whispered when she pushed them both from the ledge.
"You're insane, you …"
"Stop talking."
Akali kissed the demoness in the lips, preventing her from saying anything more. It's truly surprising for her when she felt the demon returning the gesture. Evelynn's kiss was desperate as if she tried to devour her before both of them would smash into the ground. The priestess never in her whole life felt more completed, she felt as if she had everything she needed as she's slowly falling from the top of the mountain. "Goodbye, beautiful." She added in her mind.
"That wasn't anything I've expected," Jhin said after a full minute of silence.
"Neither did I," Yasuo responded. "It must be said, she got the guts to finish the fight like that."
"Shut up!" The leader ordered. "Because what has happened, we lost one of the strongest priestesses in our cult."
"I wouldn't call her that, she's weakling." The master of the ceremony said.
"Silence! Jhin, you summoned wrong demons, we both know about that."
"Me? I don't think so."
"The charmer wasn't meant to be summoned tonight, and as we could see, it's. What she really a threat to you, master of the ceremony?"
"As I said she's weakling, nothing more."
"Your actions speak otherwise, you're dismissed," Twisted Fate announced. "We'll talk about it later. We must make sure no one finds the body of Akali."
"She'll be nothing more than a puddle of blood, why do you even care?" Yasuo asked curiously.
"Casuse it isn't uncommon for demons to merge with the humans when their life is in danger. If she somehow survives the merge, she'll hunt all of us down, starting from you." The leader pointed on the Jhin. "We must make sure that she is dead, no matter what."
"What about the weakling number two?" The master of ceremony asked.
"She's unconscious, we'll tell her another story that will just make her hate Akali. She'll be our weapon if the ninja ever returns."
"That's something that I can agree with," Jhin replied.
"Get back to work, we can't waste another minute." The order was given by the leader of the cult. "I hope you're dead, Akali. Otherwise, you'll be a pain in our asses." He added in his mind.
