Challenge
Your protagonist loses their lover to an early death. Ridden with grief, they plea with the devil after being turned away by god. The devil says he'll bring your protagonist's lover back to life, but on one condition. What is the condition, and does your protagonist comply?
The Dealer Of Souls
"Why, or course I will." The devil said, slyly. "But, as I'm sure you have already guessed, there is a price. I cannot give away a perfectly good soul and get nothing in return."
My legs felt weak with relief and I had to focus on not letting them give out. "Oh, oh yes! Thank you! I'll- I'll give anything!"
The Devils smile grew wider. "Ahh.. If you wish."
My lover, who had been previously barely clothed and hung in chains had suddenly disappeared from their captivity, but in their place were our two children.
