Chapter 4: Her
It was her...she who would open that portal to Lucifer.....
Alfred stared as she emerged from the dark.
"I am not here to visit a prisoner or right hand man of my brother Lucifer." Abadon spoke with an ice cold voice to this goddess of a demon.
"Then what brings you by then?." The way she spoke. Alfred could tell she had power and authority. It was just funny how Abadon seemed to would have imprisoned such a fine lady such as her.
"I'm going straight to the point goddess. I need a portal to Lucifer here and now."Abadon said and even her expression changed. She walked closer to stand and inch closer to him. Her striking blue eyes staring into his everything so beautiful ember eyes.
"Are you dumb or what? You and i know that re opening such a portal can crack open the earth. The darkest denons could crawl out."
"What about that? Isn't that what you and your master want?." He asked her.
"It is everything i need."
"Then why hesitate?." He raised a brow. Hecate stepped back.
"Ever since my creation. I have served my one and only master. It has been his dream all along. To crack open this earth and unleash those demons. It is not now that i shall tarnish those dreams." Hecate said with an authority.
"Then you will be helping him. In some way." Abadon seemed so less concerned about the dreams of his brother.
"No you don't understand."She stepped closer to him. "It can't be done that way. Not without the supreme being we need. Lucifer must absorb the energy of his creatures."
Abadon chuckled. He stepped closer as well. Grabbing Hecate's wrist as everything about him darkened. It was almost as if when with her he was forced to be this dark version of his. Alfred just seemed to watch them closely.
"Listen you goddess of nemocracy, all i need is a damn portal. I do not need to know of your masters plans. It won't help me in any way." He stopped and released her. Looking at her eyes which showed hints of fear. She'd tried so hard to hide it. Rubbing her red and hurting wrist. Where Abadon had gripped. "Now,are you opening the damned portal or are we doing this the hard way goddess?." he asked her. Hecate staggered back a little. She tried to recover herself as she did. She gulped a little.Not believing she was really betraying her master.
The goddess lowered herself to the ground kneeling on just one of her knees.She drew an imaginary circle round herself as she now placed just her fingers on the floor. Slowly,she whispered words only she could hear. The circle soon became visible as it shone with a blue light. Hecate's hair rose as she now as well stood. Alfred could feel as the floors crumbled under his feet. He could feel everything loosing it stand. As Hecate stood,she opened her once shut eyes,they were now a glowing blue. Her words became louder as she raised her hands. The circle rose along with her. Her feet slowly raising off of the ground. With a sharp word,ahe cast the circle over to the other side. Opening the required portal. As soon as this happened,Hecate fell. Only for Abadon to support her. She turned weakly to Alfred.
"You have just five minutes. In that place time will seem slower. If you don't leave once time is up,the portal will close. You'll be stuck there and tge boundaries will at once be broken. You have to hurry." She spoke. Alfred nodded assured stepping into the portal which was in front of him. All he could do was prepare himself for the unpredicted world...
Every where was dark. Alfred stood. Staring into space and this place with no ends and beginnings as the portal closed behind him. He turned to his front as a certain shine from in front made his eyes squint in confusion. Slowly emerging from the dark was a highly beautiful silver haired man.His silver eyes glimmered as he smiled widely in pleasure on seeing Alfred.He wore all black as his hand were situated behind his back.
"You've come again now have you."he smiled wider.
"What have youdone Lucifer?."Alfred went straight to the point.
"No need to thank old friend. In fact,i have been expecting you." This man spoke ever so lightly. Even so in that light voice,there was mystery.
"Expecting me?So you knew all this while?."
"How wouldn't i? Old friend..."
"I am not your friend."Alfred cut through his sentence. Causing this thing,Lucifer to frown.Deeply.
"Alright then.Theres this thing about my deals.I don't wait unnecessarily for time to pass. I snatch what i have asked for as soon as i get it. Besides you layed the price not me."
"Well i choose wrong. Lucifer,i need to have my own children."
"That really doesn't concern me." Lucifer rolled his eyes. He looked irritated at Alfred. "You asked for life. I gave it to you when your wife needed it now you ask for what? The price you paid?.It doesn't make any sense." he said looking ever so pale.
"I will give you anything you ask for just let me have a child of my own Lucifer! I gave you the right to my children but now I'll give you their souls. Just let me have at least one child and its soul will belong to you and no one else.Mark my words Lucifer."
One could tell from the desperation in Alfred's voice that he meant what he was saying.He wasn't just joking about with the souls of his unborn children.The man,Lucifer,walked closer to Alfred.
"You aren't joking are you. Cause i seem to want to reconsider."He tilted his head.
"Just give me a child. I'll prove to you I'm not a joker."He said as Lucifer burst out laughing.He stopped and stared at Alfred.
" I'm interested in you deal,and so a child you shall get. Make sure to return home by sunset.For then you shall find what you seek."
And with these words,the portal opened. It was time for Alfred to leave. He stared unsure at the demon lord as he turned to leave...
Abadon pushed to a side the woman he'd been supporting.
"Even for a woman you're too heavy."He said as she turned to glare at him. She only groaned in pain from the power drainage she passed through. "By the way,are you okay?." He asked staring down at his nails.
"Do i look okay to you?."He asked staring dagger at him.
"Even when I'm bing polite?Oh come on goddess."Abadon said irritated.
A deep silence then followed as Hecate sat quietly and Abadon leaned quietly by the wall. She seemed a little better now.
"What do you want?."He suddenly asked.
Hecate turned to look confused at him. "What do i want?."She asked him.
"As a reward for opening the portal.What do you want? New dresses? Books jewelry...."
"I want to go outside."Hecate said and Abadon immediately stopped talking.
"Outside?. Like outside the cell or dungeon?." He asked her. He seemed quite amused with her answer. It was normal for any prisoner to want to be outside,it was just that the way she asked,seemed almost as if she had hope outside there.
Like she wasn't planning on escaping or anything. Just to see the world and its beauty.
"Yes. That's what i want." She said this time looking up at Abadon. "I would love to go outside."
"And why is that? I know your plans goddess. You plan to escape don't you?."
"Listen,Abadon. If i wanted to escape i would have done years ago."
"But you failed." he reminded her.
She sighed. "The point is,i am tired of being here. Reading books in the dark. I want to be out and see the world. Even for a second or two i am willing Abadon. Just give me this chance.Please."
Now if this was a trap,Abadon was sure he'd fallen for it. The way she begged him. There was no way he could believe it was a plot. But before he could reply her tge portal opened up and Alfred stepped out.
"Where's Rafe?." He asked as soon as he was out.
"He's with Aamon. How did it go?." Abadon asked.
"I need to head home as soon as possible." Was Alfred's reply as he stepped out of the cell. Abadon turned to follow behind him. He closed the cell once he was out turning to Hecate.
"You'll get you reward soon goddess. Wait for me."He smiled walking out of the dungeon.....
Aamon poured Rafe a cup of hot tea as the man picked up his cup. They drank in silence for a while.
"You say you and lord Abadon are brothers to Lucifer?." he asked sipping his tea.
"Yes." Aamon replied simply. Sipping his tea as well.
"There's a question I've been meaning to ask."
"Go ahead."Aamon permitted.
"If you people are siblings then..."
"Who are our parents?."Aamon raised a brown as he completed the sentence instead of Rafe. He then lowered his head as dphe chuckled. "Many people seem quite compelled to ask such questions so you're not the first."he said.
"Really?."Rafe seemed quite relieved now.
"Well,when brother had the idea of taking over the heavens,i and my brothers didn't hesitate to follow behind him. We found the idea victorious and smart. We were the one who compelled the rest to follow him. But as time went by and we put the plan in process,we failed,our father was too much powerful than us. But as well where sent to hell,i and my brothers tarnished except Lucifer,he brought us back to life and our bond grew then. We became his brothers because we where there from the beginning."Aamon finished as he stole a sip from his tea.
" Oh i see." Rafe's voice became remorseful.Aamon voukd sense it.
"You know,i use to be an Angel of music while Abadon was situated in the heavenly army."Aamon said to brighten up the mood.
"Really?Wow. That must have been nice."He smiled.
"Well it really was,i loved what i did back then,i wonder what came over me."Aamon said. Regret was plain in his voice. It was obvious he wanted to hide it.
"And the lady Duke Alfred was going to see. Who is she?." Rafe asked.
"Oh you mean Heacte. The goddess of nemocracy. She was created from the pain and agony Abadon felt when he had Lucifer create an emerald key for him."
"Why did he need that?."
"To protect our heavenly possessions. My harp and his arrow."Aamon said with a smile. "Him and i wanted to keep ours but Lucifer didn't want us to.So he had brother suffer enough to create a dark soul. Such as Hecate's."
So that goddess was never even Lucifer's creation. No wonder she was under Abadonsp's care. Because no one,not even Lucifer could control her power.He was only a match for her but not good enough to be her master..It was only Abadon who could.....
"Rafe!!."Alfred yelled as he barged in.
"Yes my lord." Rafe answered sharply. He was clearly startled.
"Get up. We leave now." Alfred said as soon as he stepped in.
"N..now? But my lord,what about your meeting?The woman,Lucifer?!."
"I have met him."He then paused.Like he was trying to think. Is it almost sunset?." He asked Rafe.
"Well my lord..."
"It should be at least three hours from now." Aamon replied them as he stood from his seat. Walking closer to them both.
"Good. That should be enough time for us to get home."
"But my lord,what's the rush?." Rafe asked concerned and confused.
Alfred turned annoyed to Rafe. "I know know what i need to. What i didn't know all these years. Are you coming or not Rafe."
"Of course i am my lord. In fact let's go. Let's leave immediately." Rafe said as Alfred turned and walked out. Rafe took a few steps as he stopped. Waving at Aamon before he walked out. He'd made a new friend. Now it wouldn't be nice if he'd left without a proper good bye now would it?....
The both horses race down the path they'd both come. As soon as Alfred thanked Abadon he'd left. He didn't hesitate at all. He was in a hurry. A hurry to see his wife. To see her smile once more. Could i have finally been possible for them? Was it?....
Alfred jumped off his horse. Rafe watched as he walked hastily to the entrance of his mansion. He was utterly confused at his lords actions.As Alfredo passed the halls,whispers followed. Whispers of the gossiping servants. He couldn't pick out what they said cause that wasn't his problem at the moment. He barged into their room. Him and Jane's room. There she stood,by the balcony,as if she was waiting,waiting for the return of someone close to her heart. Him maybe?
As soon as tge doors went open ahe turned. She smiled the brightest on seeing him.So itwas him she awaited after all.
"Alfred?." She called as soon as she set eyes on him. Walking as fast as she could. Jane now found herself standing in front of her beloved husband. She cupped his cheeks in her soft palms as she kissed him without thought.
Alfred was confused at her actions as she pulled from the kiss. She smiled at him. A comforting and heart warming smile.
"I'm..I'm pregnant Alfred." She finally let the cat out of the bag. Alfred's brows creased. He stared at Jane. Not believing her words even a little bit.
"What?." He asked her.
"Well i woke up this morning and i felt really nauseous throughout the day. I even fainted over at the dinning. I was checked later on just a few minutes from now and it turned out i am pregnant." She said with a smile.
Alfred now also couldn't help but smile. So it really worked. He then held Jane close to himself. In what one would call a bone crushing hug. She hugged him too. He sensed her joy and everything she felt. It was soon that the thought flashed in his mind.
The thought of thier children's souls belonging to the devil....
