Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

"Are you still pouting? "Baphomet the big old goat challenged. "Arsene just left a few hours ago, but you're moping around without the slightest inclination of breaking through. Where is that motivation you had a few hours ago?"

Snuggling deeper into my bed, which cradled me better than any man, I pulled my sheets to my lips, "I don't feel like it. Breaking through is easy for me. I just didn't break through these past few years to make Sene feel good."

"What is your limit, if you don't mind me asking? I know you're the daughter of the Abyss, but there has to be a limit, right?"Baphomet uttered, staring a little hard in wonder.

Pulling the sheets a bit higher, I felt a bit hot, for some reason. "Who knows, I never really explored all I could do outside having complete comprehension of every Dao to exist," I muttered, feeling a little too hot.

Pulling the sheets from off my soaked body, I held my stomach, which had suddenly begun to cramp. Paling from the pinching sting stabbing over and over, I felt even worse, wishing for nothing more than to sleep.

"You on your period or something?"

"Screw you! Get out," I spat, glaring a bit embarrassed he would ask such a thing. I never had a period in my life.

"I swear, it's like you and Arsene think you all do not need to show respect. You know I am an Elder God, right? Literally, I could snap and destroy this planet."

Annoyed by the very clothing around my body that burned against my skin, I grunted. It wasn't very painful or life-threatening, but this little pain was more annoying than hell for some reason.

"Hey, look who's here," Eroma, that bloody idiot, shouted, barging into my room.

"Sure, just come one in. Don't bother knocking. "I sarcastically scorned, glaring at the three people standing by his side.

"See! I told you she would not mind!" Arsene's idiot of an uncle explained, shifting his gaze to literally one of the most captivating women I had ever seen. There was a bit of peace about her, yet a hint of something naughty that seemed to blend together in a type of chaos.

"LILI!!!!" Adrienne screamed, leaping onto my bed, wrapping her tiny hands around me. She fluttered me with an endless amount of kisses. That felt a bit good.

Snuggling into her chest, I could see a bit of blood flowing from Eroma's nose, but I did not care. Recalling that strange woman with long silver hair and golden eyes, I suddenly turned to her, staring with a smile.

She appeared to be dressed in a strange leather breastplate and leather shoulder guards covered in Infernal and Enochian runes attached to her jerkin beneath, with a long golden hilt blade strapped to her back.

The sheath on her back was a marvelous ebon color with scales trailing down to its tip. Yet, for some reason, I felt like it was that sheath itself that was keeping us alive.

"Eroma darling, can you give us some room?" The Strange woman suddenly requested, startling everyone in the room.

Opening my mouth wishing to speak, the words I held became halted. Shocked to my core, I flooded myself with abyssal energy to break out of whatever this was, but to no avail. No matter what I did, I could not speak, much less move.

Unfortunately, my shock only grew deeper as Eroma nodded with soulless eyes, withdrawing without another word. Turning my gaze to Bahopmet, a deep-seated fear tugged at my heart as I saw the same soulless eyes.

"How dares Grandpa send Dumb-Dumb to give you a message, but I can't visit my Aunt." She said, pulling closer with a mischievous smile. "Even Truck-kun got to talk with you more than I. It's simply not fair."

"Who are you," I asked, witnessing something I was sure I would never forget. Baphomet, with his elder god, prowess keened over, while Adrienne followed in suit.

Snatching my hand, she smiled with a bit of childlike innocence. "I am Aurelia. Aurelia Morningstar," she said, wrapping her arms around me with familiarity.

"Grandpa really made you with extra care. Hehe, Dumb-Dumb doesn't even know it was I who begged him to listen to Super Aunty." She said, a little too proud of herself.

Grandpa, Super Aunty, and Dumb-Dumb?

"Sorry, but I do not know you."

Flashing me a lusty smile, she shook her head, "Of course, you know me, I was the first to give you kisses before I planted you in the Abyss for someone to find. Although, I didn't think you would find your way to Zariels, Big Bro."

"You know him?'

"Married that bastard. The worse decision of my life... Don't tell him. You know what, tell him. After making that damn deal behind everyone's back, I'm still pissed."

Leaning back, Aurelia giggled, glancing around for a bit. She eyed me. "I am here to take you to the Abyss. The real Abyss outside Grandpa's creations. And Since Granpa interfered when he said he wasn't, I must interfere too!"

"Stop who the hell is this Grandpa you keep mentioning?" I uttered a little fearful of this woman before me smiling without care. It was a bit unnerving.

"GOD. The one who created this little game. The one created that moral body of yours." Aurelia explained, once again glancing around. "We need to go. Grandpa doesn't like to look much, but he may be mad about this."

"Why are you taking me to the Abyss?" I could not help asking, a little touched, more so than I should be.

Feeling a bit of tears streaming down my cheeks, Aurelia's lips curled even higher, "It's just the hormones, dear. You will get them under conto... Well, Arsene will learn to live with it. Zariel tossed me out of the house while pregnant. I had to barge in and stomp on his nuts—that traitorous rat bastard."

Breaking down into more tears, I shook my head, "I am not pregnant." I explained, feeling my heartbreaking.

"But your body is now ready to make kids. Just wait till you see Arsene; your panties will drop in joy." She claimed with a bit of a blush, pondering over something. Arching her hands, I watch the golden Blade, Morningstar appear in my hands.

"I gave you this blade for one reason, so hold onto it carefully. Arsene has his blade.. Now it's time you get yours."
