The priest found a demon on his way home.
A weak, pale, and battered demon-lying beside a pile of trash at the street corner, as if the whole world had abandoned him. The priest should have purified him, or simply walked away.
But he stopped. And watched for a long time. Then, with a single silver coin-barely enough to buy a pound of cheap meat-he bought the demon from a slave trader. He took the demon home, washed him, tended to his wounds, gave him food and shelter.
A weak, pale, and battered demon-lying beside a pile of trash at the street corner, as if the whole world had abandoned him. The priest should have purified him, or simply walked away.
But he stopped. And watched for a long time. Then, with a single silver coin-barely enough to buy a pound of cheap meat-he bought the demon from a slave trader. He took the demon home, washed him, tended to his wounds, gave him food and shelter.
He didn't know the demon's past, nor why he had fallen so low.
The priest merely followed a certain impulse deep within his heart-something he couldn't name-thus beginning a dangerous, ambiguous act of salvation. The demon was beautiful and fragile, yet hidden beneath his skin were deadly thorns and endless secrets.
Between sanctity and blasphemy, between salvation and ruin, a silent struggle of faith, desire, sin, and love began to unfold between them. The priest wished to save the demon's soul.
But what the demon desired-might be the priest's complete corruption. I bought you, with one silver coin.
Then, my master, what would you have me do?
