Chapter 80: Love Makes You Weak

Love. An intense feeling of affection.

A word that most humans dreamed of having.

Lilith, the Queen walked silently in front of her sons and daughters. She was the mother of all evil. There are a lot of stories about her but for her children, she was a caring mother who wanted to protect them.

"Terra is a place full of mortals. Though some other beings or entities lived there that came from the Underworld, it is still a land for humans. We do not have a place in that realm. We belong here in the Underworld. Remember, the reason you will be sent there is to test the Terrans whether they are worthy to live in paradise or to rot here in hell. The human slaves are people who have accepted their fate and are willing to deal with the devil in exchange of momentary happiness and luxury. Your time in Terra is temporary. You are forbidden to love a human. You could have fun with them but never taint your heart with love."

She then gave each of her children an amulet before continuing her speech.

"Our time here is different from Terra. Our timeline is seven times faster than theirs. That amulet will protect you from their mortality. You might find it hard sometimes to live in their realm and each of you will be sent to different terris. You will live there as one of the rich and famous. You could contact one another if needed and seek help from the Underworld using that amulet. After your time is up, you could only come back here once you devour the Terran slave's soul. For them, there's no turning back. Once they sign a contract, their names will be added to the book of the dead."

Athanasia was listening to her mother's every word. She wouldn't allow herself to fail this task. She wanted to fulfill her duties and make her father proud. Then when her task is done, she will come back and choose Zuriel so she could help him guard the first layer of their home.

"My sons and daughters, the punishment of falling in love with a Terran is death. You will lose the powers you have and will become a mortal. Love will make your heart weak and you will eventually die. Do not break this law and complete your task. Come back to the Underworld and make your king proud."

When the Queen finished her speech, Asmodeus, the King of the Underworld, stood up and walked towards his children.

"With the power granted upon me by Orcus, I, Asmodeus, the Fourth King of the Underworld, Protector of Altum and the father of all evil, I hereby permit six demon princes and four demon princesses to enter Terra. May the power of evil be with you at all times."

The ceremony ended and all demons left the throne room, leaving only those who will enter the human realm. Each of them needs to enter Terra from Altum up to Semel. 

The first one to leave is her brother Azael, one of his powers is to control temptation and desire. He was one of the weakest demon princes of the Underworld. Maybe that's the reason Antaura wanted to help him because his powers are no match to the others. 

The next to leave is Elisia, the 68th daughter who could control time. Phelan, a demon prince who could transform into a wolf. His lover is Selene, the moon goddess. Together, they rule all the packs of the werewolves.

Samael, the prince of death. He is powerful enough to kill a human just by touching them. Dolion, a deceitful demon prince. Morana, a demon princess who could control dreams. She is responsible for the Terrans' nightmares.

Naamah, who has the power in seducing both demons and humans. Circe, an enchantress who uses potions and herbs. She could turn her enemies into any type of animal or monster.

Sura, a demon prince who eats humans. Though eating humans was also forbidden, Sura was permitted by Orcus. However, he is not allowed to eat their flesh, he could only consume their souls to appease his hunger.

Athanasia was the last one to leave. But before walking out of Altum, her father called her.

"Athanasia, you are a virgin demon princess am I right?" He asked.

She frowned and looked at her mother.

"Yes father." She answered simply.

"You might feel the urge of mating with another being whether it is a demon or a human, it doesn't matter. However, if you feel it towards a human, remember the law, never fall in love." Her father reminded her.

"Yes father. I will never fall in love with a Terran! I will not fail you and make you and mother proud." She smiled and bid farewell to her parents.

As she turned and walked away from them, the High Priestess Sabrina approached her parents.

"The Moirai didn't give her an option. Only that Terran. It was supposed to be a list of at least ten Terrans, but she only received one. I consulted the Moirai, they said they have tried to search for more but it was just him. Athanasia's doom has been written and carved in the abyss. It has never been found and discovered by any demons, even you my king. Her, being a virgin demon at that age seems so peculiar, don't you think? Royal demons crave and lust for another demon as soon as they meet the monster inside them and usually it's at the age of twenty, but in her case it was different. She had her monster when she was just seven, yet she never craved any demons here in the Underworld."

The King didn't speak and was just sitting in his throne silently.

"Only Orcus knew about her doom. Athanasia is strong and I believe she wouldn't fail us. She would never do something that could cause chaos in the Underworld.." Lilith, the Queen, commented instead.
