Angela

“Make a new deal…” Angela repeated as she was thinking about that possibility

“We are not offering up someone else.” Gem insisted, remembering Duke Ashmadae interest in Magdalena.

“I’m just wondering what the Duke actually wants?” Angela asked “You guys keep thinking about options and I’ll go asked him.

Angela broke out of the huddle and approached Duke Ashmadae.

“I understand you can't tell me about the deal you made with Ravyn. But can you tell me why you made the agreement? It not about a soul or a baby… but the deeper reason. Why do you want that? Does it make you happier? Extends your life? Makes you more powerful? And if it makes your more powerful… why is that important? What does power give you?” Angela was asking the five why questions.

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

“Power determines Rank. Power gives abilities and minions,” Ashmadae replied as he sat in a chair just inside the zone. The Leather smoldering at his touch. It was going to leave a mark once the zone was done. I am immortal, so no it won’t extend my life. I cannot be destroyed, only banished to the Abyss.”

“I do not experience happiness as you do, nor pleasure.” Chuckling he sat back in the chair. “Ready to make a deal?”​

Angela

“Power” Angela repeated “so you can get abilities and minions. You know… there are other ways to get abilities and minions. Abilities can be acquired by learning new ones, using magic or having a magic item, technology can also can make you powerful. As for minions… you can also use magic like mind control, or technology with things like robots. Friends make you powerful and are great helpers. They are not exactly minions… but all you have to do is be nice.”

“Given you want a quick way to power, what magic or technology can we offer that is equal to Ravyn’s child?” Angela asked

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

“You are trying to impose the morality of mortality upon that which is immortal. Demons have no friends only manipulations. We do not learn new abilities, we take them. And why mind manipulate an army of darkness when they will flock to those with power.”

“The Archon’s natural born, living, and breathing child would suffice,” Ashmadae replied.​

Angela

“Look, here is the thing. I’m not comfortable giving you an innocent life. However, an evil one, is no problem. There are lots of evil people sitting in jail right now. Pick one. Some mass murder or serial killer. I’ll slip down there and bring them to you. I’ll bet there are some in their 20’s. If you need a more powerful being… like say a Ghoul or Banshees. I'll bring you that. You name it.” Angela offered

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

“No,” Ashmadae replied. “I have claim to her, you want her. Give me what I want and I relinquish my claim, after we come to an agreement.”

“Corrupting an innocent is what’s wanted. Having a criminal that is already corrupted is pointless.”

“I would say use yourself, but I don’t like you enough, and you stink of murder and vengeance. The bright one however…” He said looking over at Magdalena again, “She would be.. useful.”​

 

[milkmaiden38]

Angela

Angela turned her head and sniffed her armpit. “I don’t smell anything.” She replied to the demon with a smile. Then she did it again “Wait, I do detect something… Something that doesn't reek of desperation but rather… opportunity."

The demon’s eyes focused on Angela. "Go on," He hissed.

Angela leaned closer, "You want something bright." She gestured to herself. "You see, I'm a good vampire. A repentant vampire. I was able to walk through the school’s wards. I’ve only killed those that deserve death. I think I’m as rare as a unicorn."

Magdalena looked toward Angela as well. There was concern in her face, but she said nothing.

Angela laughed. "What if I offered you something far more valuable than a soul? What if I gave you an opportunity to change the game entirely?"

Angela paused the their eyes locked/ Each looking at the other.

"You think small. A soul, an exchange, a trade. How about this—let's become partners. I’ll give you all the evil people I can find. I get their blood…. You get their evil souls. What do you say?” Angela offered

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

“By making yourself Judge, Jury, and Executioner, you have committed murder. They did not attack you, you attacked them. No matter how dark their souls were, it’s still murder.” Ashmadae commented. “Not that I care, I’m just pointing out the truth that you deny.”

“Though your offer is interesting, I still want a birth from a Virgin. It’s what I require, and I will not change that.”​

 

[milkmaiden38]

Angela

"Well, Judge, Jury, and Executioner system... has its pro and cons. But so do all systems. I'm disappointed with your no to my offer." Angela turned around and walked back to the group.

“I tried. He is not going for the other deals, I offered.” Angela explained.

“We could try to wager something bigger. For example, Ravyn and Magdalena souls, for that matter, all our souls.” Gem suggested “Well, except for Angela, since she doesn’t have one. Anyhow, one big cosmic bet on something. We win, everyone is saved. We lose, Well… you all know what happens" Gem offered

“Or we go back to the status quo… or Ravyn needs to pay her debt” Angela suggested

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

“You want to force my sister to have sex and give birth?” M’Kael said glaring at Angela. “Before or after she’s conscious?”

“She’s already made her decision by not doing it.” He added as he turned away from the group, especially Angela, before he punched someone.​

 

[milkmaiden38]

Angela

“I have been forced to do a lot of…” Angela started to replied when Gem cut her off.

Gem

“M’Kael, makes a good point.” Gem said to Angela. “Status quo it is.” Gem said to everyone and she removed the anti-magic spell.

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

Ravyn:​

Raven fell to the floor as the Hexgrammatical and Pentagrammatical runes returned in full force, subsuming the Deamon back inside. “Damn, could you give a little warning next time?” She muttered as she stood up.

Slender and athletic looking Ravyn looked at the Group. “Thank you for not making a deal with him.”

“We can’t give him what he wants.” She told the group.​

 

[milkmaiden38]

Gem

"Ravyn! You’re back!" The Blonde Mage gasped, relief and excitement flooding her voice as she pulled Ravyn into a tight hug.

A wave of bodies pressed in, everyone eager to check on her.

"We need to catch you up," Angus said, his expression tense. "Most of it isn't good." His eyes flickered with unspoken grief—her mother, Van, gone… Too much had happened in her absence.

"And if you could stop getting captured, that’d be great," Angela quipped, arms crossed. As usual, her words held just enough bite to be irritating rather than helpful. But this was Angela—holding back wasn't her style.

Gem stepped forward, tone serious. "You’ve got two demons after you. Anything you can tell us about those deals might give us an edge. And I have a feeling one of them is gunning for the power of the demon inside you. Some demon-on-demon shit going down."

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

Ravyn:
“And if someone would take their hand off my ass before I bite if off that would be great!” Ravyn quipped and she extricated herself from the mass of bodies.

“Well, if everyone wasn’t after me, I wouldn’t get any dates would I?” she sighed rubbing her temples and eyes.

“I only made one deal. I don’t know about any others.”​

 

[milkmaiden38]

Gem

“You are payment to demon #2, who did something for two someones on a certain matter that has already taken place. When I pointed out “no one can own another person”. The demon stated these two someones “had possession” of you, therefore they could. Like your parents… or the inquisition… etc

The demon #2 also said if you had not made a deal with the demon #1 inside you, you’d go to Celestial Realms upon your death. If demon #1 were to be removed, then you would also return to that state of being.” Gem explained. “I thought you should know.”

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

Ravyn:​

“You’re wrong, a person can own another person. It’s called slavery. Or employment, depending on your point of view. But there are slaves still in remote sections of the world, or under certain circumstances.”

“And Demon #2 lied to you. Making a deal with a demon is an absolute Hell sentence. But I was burning alive and Ashmadae answered.”

Realizing she was avoiding the answer, the elephant in the room so to speak, she sighed. “The Deal… I get immortality and in return I give birth to a living child of my bloodline.”

“And he and I both screwed each other over. My immortality comes with a price. I get to die. A lot and painfully. But then I come back. Hanging. Fire. Steamroller. Bleu Gate Bridge – I jumped. Water is like concrete at the far of a fall, Drowning. Poison. Bullet. And setting off the ward M’Kael called it Jamming the Spell. Oh and evisceration on a sacrificial stone slab.”

“So I am immortal, I just figured it would mean not dying. So he fucked me. But I screwed him as well.” Looking at the group she gave a wry smile. “We never set a time limit, as for when the baby gets born. And I absolutely don’t want that part of the deal kept.”

“When..If.. I give birth he will possess a corporeal body on the Prime Material Plane. Which means he can’t be banished and will have access to all his abilities and powers. He’d be a God without limitations.”

“The ritual I was trying in the basement.. It would have separated him and his powers. So I would have had his powers and abilities, and he would have been sent back to The Abyss.”

“But apparently some of the ingredients I had were forgeries, or impure in their grading. Maybe I drew a symbol or uttered something wrong.”​

 

[milkmaiden38]

Gem

"So you’ve delayed the inevitable, but you haven't escaped it. Now we have two demons after us. At some point you are going get tricked into having sex. He will find a way to enforce his part of the deal” Gem reasoned.

“I think Ravyn has outmaneuvered him” Angela countered. “In fact, she can remove her baby maker… and she’ll never have a child. The demon can lurk in the shadows, but he’ll never get what he wants.” Angela suggested

"That’s a horrifying suggestion! Don’t you think Ravyn has suffered enough pain already?” Gem said to Angela.

“Hey, it was just an idea.” Angela replied defensively

“Look we need to find another way. There’s always another way.” Angus added.

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

Ravyn:​

“I have a feeling that if I try anything that would result in me being sterilized and unable to finish my aspect of the contract Ashmadae would renege on his side of the deal as well. And probably make me beg for death. And I’ve seen what he can do, in his memories.”

“He, well technically it, as the Daemon doesn’t really have a gender, but it feels more like a he, than an it. Either way, he/it is a Duke in charge of Vengeance, or revenge, I’m not really sure about the distinction, if there is one.”

“But he/it ensures that rapists get raped for all eternity, murders are murdered, Sadist become toys for torture deamons, and masochists get deprived of any pleasure at all. They just get stuck in a hole to small to allow them to move or do anything to inflict pain on themselves. He/it basically makes sure souls go where they belong.”

“Kind of like the big bad secretary of the Hell/Abyssal Realms. With a mean streak.”

M’Kael:​

“Fuck me. Talk the Devil you know and the Devil you Don’t…”

“Fuck I crack myself up!”

“What’s our chances of killing this thing as soon as it’s born?” He asked looking at Magdalena and Gem.

“Slim,” Magdalena replied. “It depends on how fast he can access his powers and abilities. Plus there is gestation time. Will it be hyper-fast, or the normal length.”

Looking over at Gem and Angela she shrugged. “Can you clone her and give a clone to the second demon?”​

 

[milkmaiden38]

Gem

“A clone spell?” She restated. “There is a spell to grow an inert duplicate of a living creature as a safeguard against death. This clone is formed inside a vessel such as crystal coffin. The clone will grow to full size after 120 days. It can also be a younger version of the same person/creature. It remains inert indefinitely, as long as its vessel remains undisturbed.

At any time after the clone matures, the original creature dies, its soul transfers to the clone, provided that the soul is free and willing to transfer. The clone is physically identical to the original and has the same personality, memories, and abilities.” Gem explained

“I’m not sure that would work. The demon does not want a soulless clone” Angela stated

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

“Yeah, and swapping into a different body doesn’t mean I keep my immortality. Ash may use the body swap to renege on his part of the bargain. I have a feeling he’d allow the soulless body to reanimate and be an immortal zombie, or something similar. Maybe a new kind of Undead.”

“Plus it takes four fucking months? I don’t think we have that much time.” Ravyn said glaring at everyone.

“Hey, I’m just a pretty face with muscles and a big cock. I’m no spellcaster.” M’Kael Boasted

“You’re not that pretty.” Magdalena snipped.​

 

[milkmaiden38]

Different COAs (Courses of Action)

“I think he is handsome!” Angela opined

“I’m not gay, but I agree with Angela. M’Kael is hot and loved by lots of ladies” Angus added

“Ok… enough. This group’s ability to become side tracked is astounding” Gem grumbled. “Let me suggest two COAs to move forward on this problem. 1. We figure out a way to get the two demons to fight over Ravyn. The one that wins will be in a weakened state and we attack at that point. Now dead demons aren’t really dead they just return to hell. So, we’ll need to fight them again in hell to kill them permanently. Or we start the fight between the demons in hell. We can save a step by doing that.

The second COA is we treat each demon separately. For example, we find the person or persons that sold Ravyn’s soul a second time. They had some plan in mind and gained some kind of benefit. We figure all that out and we can have them break that deal. 2nd Demon problem solved” Gem suggested to the group.

“What is a COA?” Angela asked

“Oh, for the love of the gods!” Gem exclaimed.

“Just joking I know what a COA is… Cum on Ass” Angela answered

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

“It’s not gay if you don’t kiss and I seem to remember a certain individual that had Gem a little furious at you for a tiny bit of time.” M’Kael replied as he walked over to the tall and well built Minotaur. Placing his hand on the muscular chest he leaned in as his hand slid down to the Minotaur's stomach, stopping just short of his belt. “Are you sure you don’t wanna give it a try?” he said seductively.

“Maybe a group grope? Nobody knows who’s doing what to whom in the dark.” He said looking over at Gem and giving her a wink as his tongue slid between his lips. “I wouldn’t be upset over being the ice cream in that sandwich…”

Ravyn looked like she wanted to wretch as she was even paler than usual. “The Demons can’t fight over me, as one is bound inside me. And inside the magic bubble thing he had no access to his abilities, otherwise he’d have killed everyone in here for their corruption.”

“If the two demons fought, it would be my body getting fucked over, and if Ash dies or gets banished, I’m pretty sure I lose my immunity to death. Since I can’t fulfill my obligation to him. So I’d die if Ash dies.”

“I’d rather go with option two.” She added, "But I kinda like the undying part, so if I can keep that it would be awesome.”​

 

[milkmaiden38]

Angela

“Ok we’ll start with the demon that was offered virgin Ravyn. Well, our bargaining chip is her virginity. If Angus has a go at her, she is worthless to that demon. It also breaks his payment… and the demon will go after whoever made a deal with him. Problem solved” Angela suggested

“Angus? Let’s pick someone else. You know, with less girth. It is her first time” Callo commented

“Hold it a second. We want to know who made that deal? And why?” Gem pointed out.

“Ok, we threaten to give Ravyn and really hard fucking from a man or woman of her choice” Angela looked over to Ravyn and mouthed “Pick Me”. Then she turned back to the group. “Unless the demon tells us who made the deal with him.”

“How do we do that? That fucking demon creature will rip us to pieces” Gem pointed out.

“Sending stone. We’ll just call the demon up. Offer the deal, see if he goes for it” Angela said

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

“Excuse me, but I’m not having sex with a Minotaur. Or a vampire. Or a succubae. I’m not having sex. We need a different option. Unless you plan on raping me, and giving Ash a demon baby.” Ravyn said looking at the group.

“What if we destroy the big demon first, and then talk to the smart ass Demon?” M’Kael suggested. “Do sending stones work through dimensions?”​

 

[milkmaiden38]

Gem

“Well, I love you too Ravyn.” Angus replied sarcastically to Ravyn.

“Hey don’t feel bad, I got kicked in the pussy too!” Angela told Angus

“Angus and Angela stop fucking around.” Gem said to both of them harshly

“We are not fucking around; Ravyn made that clear” Angela joked back at Gem

“Oh bother. Ok, to use Sending Stones, you need a pair of tuned stones. What I think Angela meant was a sending spell. I have one, we can send our demon friend a message of 25 words or less. He can reply to it as well, 25 words or less. And so on. It does work across dimension, although, there is a 5% it will not work when going that distance.” Gem explained. “If we are going to bullshit the demon, we’ll need our best liar. Who wants to do it?”

“I vote for M’Kael” Angela offered
