The story from Azorean folklore about a sorcerer who turned his life around. He became a priest, helped his people flee, and then faced a choice when his old life came hunting for him.

The creature is a dirty dish towel named the Shirouneri. Like most towels it's actively trying to show you just how much it hates you.

Similar to Faust, a character dabbles in demon magic and uses it to seduce (i.e. rape) women. Mention of it, but actually no mentions of the words "sex" or "rape."
