Meeting Lucifer

PRIAM'S POV:

She left with Felix, as I watched the portal close down. there were lots of emotions going on in my mind and I didn't know which one to focus on. Angrily I slammed my fist to the nearest wall as I groaned.

I cannot afford to lose her once again. I love her to the madness.

A voice flew over my ears as Gina said-" You need to understand the being of a real King, Priam. She had finally found herself and now is your turn. You must trust her. Trust is the one thread that ties down two people for the long term."

It was not I didn't. I do trust her. With all I have. But right now maybe it was a bit cautious. I had the right to be. I lost her once and that paid off to me really well. I remember the nights I spent thinking of her. Confused with the feelings of love and hate at the same time. It felt like I'd lost my mind soon.

I closed my mind as her memories flashed in my mind:

"I love you... It was always you... And it always will be... Wait for me. I will come back to you"

She had this amazing effect on me that can calm my nerve at any pace. I took a long breath as I opened my eyes finally figured out what is the right thing to do right now.

I looked at Gina and said-" I will wait for her.... and will look after her family behind her back...I know she will come back soon to me"

Gina smiled and watched me leave for the battleground.

Thousands of armies were battling for their home, their family... their kingdom as I watched the evil army of Aya was overpowering them. The second I stepped out of my feet from the palace, the smell of toxic henbane engulfed me. It began to take away my powers slowly as I watched our soldiers in the same pain.

The human army took advantage and started slaughtering them with silver swords. Junnie's Vervain worked well with the vampires as our allies, werewolves were now the same to fight with them. Luna Megan instructed her packs to attack the vampires around them.

If we talk about only physical strength apart from our magical abilities, werewolves natural instincts were stronger with their wolve form. Whereas Vampires only relied on their inner demons.

Venom being out of their pack, werewolves got easy to get the bunch of vampires who lost their super abilities. Luna Megan didn't quite accept the fact that her husband's killer had joined our hands. If it was been in my hands I would have put a stake through his heart. But it was Shawna that holds me. Luna Megan is handling the packs of vampires along with her army.

While I saw, A few giants have been in the army as King Alan is using his divine sphere to kill them down, But they were too many, probably soon will be overpowering us.

Junnie's powers are not working as the air was infected by the henbane. But she was still good with her moves. Brad had joined her. But it looked more like he was protecting her.

John and his best men were on the front filed with the army of humans. John was one of our best swordmen and his men were the best of best. They didn't look much affected as their swords swiftly moved in and out of the opposite army men.

William had indeed grown into a great warrior as I watched him lead the troop towards the entrance. How can I just stand there and watch them fight for our home alone? I know Shawna is a strong woman. I believe in her. She will come back soon.

I gripped firmly to my father's forbidden sword and let out a growl as I attacked along with my army.

AYA'S POV:

Our soldiers were on their borders. Our plan was working they were getting weak with every breath they took in from the inflected air of henbane and wolfsbane. I looked through the goblet of air mirror as I can see their every move.

With Georgia and Amira back in my team, I was determined with my next move.

"Amira, call out for your slave through slave bond....". I ordered as she nodded and began to chant the spells.

"Georgia.. your slave is finally heard... call out for her too"

Using their slave bond through the blood they started to call out their particular slaves.

END OF AYA'S POV.

As soon as Amira and Georgia started the spell, Patricia and Ruby started feeling something uneasy about them. Their neck started itching at the same time as they both looked confused.

Patricia was with her son, as she started feeling an uneasy heat within her. While Ruby was with Harney as she was watching the spell Harney was chanting to protect their soldiers.

With a sudden frenzy in their vein, their breath started to get heavy. Patricia fell down from the bed where Jonathan was sleeping and Ruby fell on her knees. They left out a loud scream before everything blacked out before them.

Harney slowly approached Ruby not sure what she is going through. She slowly kept her hands on her shoulder as she called-" Ruby?... Is everything all right my dear?"

Ruby opened her eyes as they were turned stone white, letting her know she is possessed. Harney gasped at her sight as she stumbles to her feet. Ruby said in her double tone-" Hello Sister... It was nice to meet you again". Fear took over her as she tried to run, but before she could make her way out, Ruby chocked her by the neck as she said-" It is time for you to leave this world"

Tiara came to the palace a few hours ago as she was with Queen Kelnier. She heard Patricia's scream and quickly made her way towards the room. As she entered, her eyes widen when she saw Patricia with blood all over her hovering over the children's. She turned her head with the sudden movement of Tiara as she hissed over her.

Tiara made her way towards the dead body of a few kids when Patricia acted all wrecked and possessed. She jumps on Tiara making her stunned by her action.

Patricia said-" You came in the wrong time"

Tiara stuttered before she asked-" Pa-Patricia.... you killed those kids?"

She laughed like a maniac as she replied-" Only one more left... He was too smart of his age..." She looked at the door as she jumped out like an animal towards the door. Confused about what is happening, Tiara looked towards the dead bodies of 49 kids who were lying lifelessly on the ground smudged with blood.

She was terrified to see the scene before her. She looked out in confusion and found the one body which was missing was Jonathan. She quickly stood up on her feet and ran outside.

As she passed by she began to encounter several dead bodies of the maids on the floor which was possibly done by possessed Patricia. She ran with all her might to find Jonathan.

SHAWNA'S POV:

As the portal closed down we were now standing before the huge door in the middle of nowhere. The surrounding was black with a negative aura around them. I can hear the creams of several people from the space within. It was the gate of hell.

I was nervous, not sure how will I make it to the Hellbound sword from the hell Prince.

Felix took my hand in his as he said in his soft voice-" As long as I am alive, nothing can hurt you"

I wish I could feel the calmness he wanted me to have. I wish these words were said by Priam. But I had to take control of my feelings and focus on what I am here for.

"Let's go..." I said as we walked in. Just a few steps after we saw the hellfire had been moulded the floor from where we can see the seven-floor. each one denotes one gate of the 7 princes of hell. We need to reach King Lucifer.

The first step, burnt my foot as I set a low growl controlling the pain. Felix was not much affected as he was cold-blooded. Fire won't harm him that much. The second step made it worse, as I scream a little. the pain was excruciating, but I knew my powers can hold through. I just need to hold on to my inner Chi.

Felix asked with his concerned voice-"Shawna... Are you okay?"

" I am okay. Keep going We need to find King Lucifer as soon as possible"

I channelled my powers to focus not on the pain but the first gate. As I walked further. the pain was still hitting me, but It was not worse anymore. Felix followed me.

We stood before a gate, that was the 7th prince, Prince Belphegors'. He was the prince of sloth. As we entered the door, we found Prince Belphegor sitting by his window with his hands on his cheeks. he was lazily looking at the line that leads to the hell gate for souls after their death. The room was gloomy but not that dark.

There was a long lazy line of souls of different people who died and was walking to the gate of hell. Two demons stood at the gate, guiding the souls in their assigned way.

I asked-" Prince Belphegor?"

His gaze lazily shits towards us and he replied-" Queen Shawna... Why are you here already? Your days of Earth wasn't over yet."

" I came here for a deal."

" You should ask that to King Lucifer then, I am not the right guy."

" Alright, can you show us the way?"

" I can only show the way to the new souls my dear. Certainly, you are not one of them"

Felix walked a few steps towards him as he asked-" We need your help to reach King Lucifer"

" I am too lazy for it Felix"

I was a little uncomfortable by how he knows all our names.

I looked in the room and there was a small door in the vast room. One single door. Opposite from where we came from. This might be it. I tapped Felix's shoulder and showed him the door. We didn't have much time, The clock was ticking by. We need to take the risk. Without any further words, we walked away from the door.

Unlike the 7th prince's room, this one was bright red in colour. This was Prince Satan's room. The prince of wrath. The room was huge and empty. We looked at each other as we didn't find the 6th prince. I spotted the second door and we walked that way. But before we could walk away, a huge force of air snapped us to the ground. We looked that way and found the 6th Prince, Satan standing in front of us.

" Well, what do you owe to visit the Hell without your breakage of the soul?"

" We are here to make a deal" I replied steadily.

He laughed at me a little and asked-" Deal? With the devils? That is going to cost you"

"I am ready to pay anything right now". I replied firmly. I knew at this moment nothing is important than the people who were suffering for us.

He smirked as he said-" First let us have one battle"

I was in no way ready to have a one-o-hand with the 6th prince of hell. But we also didn't have much choice.

Instead of me, Felix stepped forward. Even if he was one of the ancient powerful beings, he was no match with the 6th prince. Prince Satan easily defeated him as Felix landed straight on the floor. He coughed as he sat up.

Prince Satan said-" Well, you lost. I cannot allow you to proceed further"

I cannot take any back from the steps I chose. I had to make till King Lucifer at any cost.

I stepped in as he smirked at me. We looked straight in the eyes as I waited for him to pounce first. I knew even if he was a devil, he does have desires. Desires for power... For the crown.

I cast a spell-"apparent corona". As soon as he pounced on me, I swiftly moved away as he fell straight beside me. But he was quick to get back on his feet and ready to attack me but I cast the spell in front of him. The vision in front of him changed into a dark room, where he can only see the crown. Confused with their surrounding he proceed towards it.

As soon as he touched the crown the thin veil of facade ended and before he understood what is going on I used my powers to snap him down.

He stood up, but I still hold my defence position. He smirked and said-" Very well... You can proceed"

That was way more than easy, but my heart kept saying something is going to be very bad soon.

The 5th room was of prince Beelzebub's. As soon as we entered the room, I saw the form was filled with the dishes, which was my favourite. I suddenly then thought about Felix and looked at him. His eyes were red blood as I understood what he was seeing. Blood. He pounced in the thin air and tried to grab the blood. His vein popped up and his thrust for blood was on his verge.

I understood the test of gluttony. I had to take him out of the room soon.

I somehow spotted the small door and held his hand within the door. He stopped as soon as he stepped out. Everything calm down as he gulped and looked at me in shock.

We now reached the 4th floor. Prince Leviathan's room. The room was painted in green and the walls were portrayed with several paintings. As soon as we stepped into this room, we had a sudden uncomfortable feeling. Envy.

The memories of Priam with Cindy flashed in front of me. The way she touched my husband was beyond hurting. I watched as his lips met hers and she let out a moan. I envy her. I was envious of her position. That was supposed to be me. Not her.!!!!

My powers began to overpower my mind as the aura began to glow in golden. I was about to let off the powers, but then I found one hand that pulled me through the room. It was Felix.

He looked at me and said-" I know. I have felt something the same. But Since I have always watched you with him. I could make out from there."

I couldn't imagine what he could have felt in there.

But now is not the point.

The next door was of prince Asmodeus'. The prince of lust. He stood there with a smirk on his face, as he welcomed us. I remember Gina's words. I have very little time left with me.

I walked towards him and said-" I need to meet King Lucifer"

" Only if you can make it there in time" He looked up at Felix after me and vanished in thin air.

The from was filled with red coloured aura. We started to feel the heat in there. Felix began to stare at me with his lusty eyes. I finally know what Prince Asmodeus means. Felix was already tempted by me, It was hard for him to control anymore that too while standing in the room of 3rd Prince.

Felix swiftly make his move towards me as he pinned me in the wall. I could see the fight he is doing with himself within his eyes. It was the power. The power of hell that was making him do all this.

I was not supposed to feel anything for him, but still, I was feeling certain unknown feelings within me. " NO" I mumbled closing my eyes, trying to picture Priam in it. Felix was too strong for me to push him off from me.

I then saw him. Priam. The first meet, the first kiss, his smile, his warmth... his voice, soothed my ears. I finally opened my eyes and pushed him with all my might. The next door was near as I grabbed his hands within.

We were now in the 2nd prince's room. Prince Mammon. Though he was not physically present in the room, we can feel his powers, Greed. What I truly greed is for a family. A family with Priam. With all my people living happily within.

I heard a sift sobs as I turned around. Felix was crying. Though his tears never left his eyes, still I could feel his pain. "She-she is here"

I couldn't understand what he was talking and then he said-" Cara..."

I remember. His lover. the one I resemble with. Does he mean her soul is here? He slowly walked towards me and took out something from his pocket. It was a ring. I looked at him confusingly.

" I know I am probably late. Bith the times. But I want you to have it. As a memory of me. That once and for always I will still have you in my cold heart."

His words were painful to hear. I could understand the love he had for Cara. But I could never give that to him.

" I am greedy or her touch... her one sight. I saw her within you today. And I know it was not my mistake to think of you like her. Shawna...?"

He called out as his hands reached mine. " Let us get away far from here... I promise to protect you and this child forever. I have logged in for a family and I finally found you. I do not want to lose it again"

"Felix.." I removed my hands from him with a frown. " This is wrong. You know I am married and I love Priam. I do have a soft corner for you, knowing still you killed my father and so many innocent people. I don't know if this all is true that I am Cara's next life. I don't know if this feeling were of hers. But in this life, I only love Priam. Till my last breath."

I said that with my true heart, without any greed on it, and as soon as I did, the environment changed. The door behind us opened and we know finally we have reached the King of Hell, Lucifer's room.

" Welcome Shawna, I was waiting for you"
