Aurelia bachelorette party

The bachelorette party was off to a wild start before we even reached the bar. It was a chaotic whirlwind from the moment I stepped out with Lise, Eileen, and Zaya.

The four of us were a formidable group, walking through the bustling streets of the demon realm, drawing attention with our chatter and laughter.

Zaya, Ciara's younger sister and the most carefree of our group, already had a bottle of something strong in her hand. "I propose we start this night with a toast!" she declared, holding it aloft.

"Zaya, we haven't even made it to the bar," Lise said, her tone exasperated but her smile fond.

"Details, details," Zaya waved dismissively. "Here's to Aurelia, who is finally giving up her freedom tomorrow to become a married demon."

Eileen snorted. "You make it sound like she's walking into a prison sentence."

"Oh, please," Zaya said with a grin. "If anything, Lydia's the one surrendering. Aurelia's... well, let's just say you're a lot."
