Archdemon Empress Luna

"It is my desire is to steal your identity and make it my own without losing myself! It wouldn't be long until I am powerful enough to access all your memories and steal all of them after we completely merged." Lilith calmed down a little when her perceived victory reassured her. Yet, when she spoke again, her voice went deeper the more as another demonic high-pitched voice at the back of her throat joined in, "I want to know how to act accordingly that the Vampire King couldn't even tell the difference between us. The fact that we interacted in this same consciousness gave me this notion that we are still on the early stages—"

Raising her chin haughtily, Luna challenged her, and she took the birds squawking loudly over her head as the support of the divine, "You can try if you can. It's not like  I would let you."

"Never mind." Lilith waved her hand in dismissal, and Luna could tell she was changing her tactic. "Since I am a kind-hearted Archdemon who looks out for fledglings like you, I could give you another option.. If you make yourself scarce, you are doing your husband a favor."

She walked, and with every step closer towards her, Luna prepared herself.

"How many times have you hurt him from all the secrets you have been hiding in here?" Lilith tapped a forefinger in her temple, which indicated her mind. "If you really love him do him favor, love, and go back to Hell!"

"Creatures like you, Lilith…." Luna clicked her tongue as she regarded her the way she would look at trash. "I wonder where all of enemies you get all that audacity from? Tell me where your source is so that I can destroy them. Who are you to decide if I should stay or go in my OWN PHYSICAL VESSEL?" Luna's voice grew louder and harsher with every word.

Exhaling a sigh, her voice softened but still full of threats, "Remember that you had no control over me, Lilith, and wanting to control someone who you can't. Wouldn't  that make you feel powerless every single moment? I know you are doing this sad tactic but your defeat is already decided from the start."

Lilith's primal scream was a pain in the ears, and it had the raw intensity that spoke of urgency, of desperate need.

Breathing deeply, Luna regarded her with a feigned mask of sympathy.

Lilith had to resort to screaming like a child on a temper tantrum that must have hit home.

All that emotions Lilith couldn't cope with and express in words came out as she acted like a desperate and violent child.

The bright blue heavens darkened to graphite, and Luna raised her eyes upward.

Streaks of bold lightning electrified the atmosphere and illuminated a pathway above.

It seemed like Lilith was showing off her powers in her own world.

Luna remained calm and waited for her enemy's logic to return—like how one would search for a  lighthouse when one is lost on stormy seas--but her lips quirked into an amused grin when she realized that she got the better of her.

"See here." She clapped her hands to get Lilith's attention, but she wouldn't stop to listen, so she continued to speak over her so that she could still understand from all that stormy chaos inside her, running amok. Luna's arrow of truth must have hit her straight through her heart. "Isn't this the best evidence that you are losing control? You think I am an obedient idiot who would believe everything you say? I am an Archdemon like you, Lilith, with magic that had the potential to surpass what you have. The biggest mistake you will ever do is underestimate me." Suddenly, the vines in this wild garden climbed to her limbs, and the ground beneath  Lilith's feet became muddy and wet. With just one snap of her finger, Lilith lost her ability to speak when  Luna's Archdemon Magic sewed her lips shut.

"Right now, you are using my own face while you talk to me. Do you think that would intimidate me?"Make me doubt who I am and what I want to achieve with my own physical vessel? " Luna narrowed her eyes at her, making the sweat gather on Lilith's brow.  "I'm not going to fall for it because I'm not your victim."

Unfortunately, Lilith didn't seem like she could put up much of a fight as she started sinking the muck when she tried to struggle and lift herself with Archdemon Magic.

It wasn't effective against Luna's.

Lilith's mouth opened in a silent scream as her form rebelled against the quicksand, but no sound came out.

"You should choose a weaker target next time, Lilith." Luna glanced at her cuticles, looking bored as she witnessed Lilith's arms submerge the more she attempted to lift them out of the quicksand, "This body is mine and in this territory, I reign as the queen. The Empress of the Vampire Realm and the rightful mate of Apollyon. " 

Luna loved the look on Lilith's face, even if the enemy was using her image as her mask.

Lilith's terrified eyes moist with unshed tears were the sweetest thing she had seen all day.

Well, it wasn't like she would help her enemy.

No words can ever convince Luna, and Lilith knew that.

That was her fault for arriving in a world where Luna was the one pulling strings.

As she crossed her arms over her chest, Luna stared at her with a cold gaze while her enemy descended up to her neck. 

Lilith was caught in her trap, and Luna didn't think about how long this quagmire would last as long as she was able to contain the enemy's consciousness for now.

When the dirt reached up to Lilith's nose, and she could hear her pathetic whimpers, Luna straightened her spine to move around the garden, looking for a large rock before she returned to the quicksand. 

Luna smiled and threw it in Lilith's head.

There was no sign that she was there.

Dusting off the powdery dirt in one's palms, she mumbled. "Sleep well, Lilith."
