Everything to Lose-Everything to Gain (Accepting)

[Randomly Gone Insane]

". . ." Hael only stared him blankly, before letting out a heavy sigh.

"...I don't mean to be rude, but I'm going to assume after you met.. Sandra you two fell in love?"  

[Zahzi]

"Correct." Astaroth growled.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"...Then what happened?" Hael asked quietly, frightened by the sudden growling.  

[Zahzi]

"I allowed my ambitions as Recht's warrior get the better of me...While I was away, she consorted with another demon. One who could manipulate ice."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

Hael remained quiet for a few moments, before looking down.
"...So because you were away so much, she lost interest in you and found another... And she knew sooner or later you'd learn of this, so he cursed you with fire so you couldn't hurt her new lover?" She asked, after piecing together the information she knew.  

[Zahzi]

"Correct. Now is this getting anywhere?" Astaroth growled, glaring at her.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

". . .Yes. It is." Hael said, standing up as she stared right back at Astaroth, completely unphased by his glaring.

"...Zero... Come here."  

[Zahzi]

". . ."

"Hmm?" Zero hovered towards her with an eyebrow raised.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Remove Astaroth's curse of fire." Hael ordered bluntly. "After you finish, I'd like to return to the other realm. I'm sure the others are panicking right now..."  

[Zahzi]

"!?"

"Kaaay~" Zero said, cracking his knuckles and causing a grey aura to surround Astaroth.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"...If you do not wish for the curse to be removed, I suggest you speak up now, Makt." Hael said as she stared back at Astaroth.

"Currently, I'm having Zero remove every bit of the curse, including your power of it. However, if you desire he can change it so the burning feel goes away, but the ability to control the fire remains."  

[Zahzi]

"Err...Technically, you asked for the curse to be removed...Too late for everything to be taken..." Zero said, looking over at her and laughing nervously.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Well... I'm sure it won't be missed." Hael said, shrugging her shoulders.

"Let's go home now." She said, giving Zero a closed eye smile.  

[Zahzi]

"Kay~" Zero said, transporting all of them back to the real world, Astaroth in his cell.

Astaroth was silent now. As Zero had said, the curse was lifted, but he still had his power over Fire.
". . ."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"So... How are we feeling?" Hael asked Astaroth, walking closer to the cell as she gave him the same closed eye smile. "Much better, I hope."
