Archdemon of Envy

  (High Priestess Lilith)

Princess of the 3rd Circle of Hell

****************************************

Lilith ran swiftly in long strides with gritted teeth, jumped high when she came across high boulders, and untangled herself from vines coiling around her legs.

As she moved one with the wind, Lilith frowned when she noticed that she became heavier while she was in Luna's body.

In the beginning, she thought it was because the Vampire King's wife was just fat, and she couldn't be bothered not to drown in blood lust.

Lilith's eyes widened in recollection as her hands hurriedly shielded her bulging stomach from thorns, sharp branches, jagged stones, and snakes hanging from the branches.

Anything that was in the way, she would get rid of it. 

Lilith realized that she was pregnant, and she needed to take good care of this small creature inside her.

It would be detrimental to lose her only anchor in this world, and she didn't want to risk it.

Lilith couldn't believe how in the world the Vampire King had caught on to her tactics.

How?

Maybe, someone from Hell tipped Luna, and she took this theory as truth.

Scowling, she dodged the hindrances she encountered on her way to the summit.

Did the Archdemon of Gluttony aim to sabotage her plans when he realized that Luxen was involved?

Of course, Ravin would have figured out about Luxenwhen he shape-shifted into the Vampire King and even warmed his mate's bed.

It happened in his own Castle. He wouldn't dare miss something that important.

Lilith sensed a slight chance that Luna carried the Archdemon of Lust's child along with the Vampire King.

Yet, this was mere speculation that she would like to keep to herself.

Lilith had no other way to confirm until the moment she will give birth.

When that time comes, she will use Luxen's baby to further her manipulation and make her wretched soul permanent in this physical vessel. 

She smiled in anticipation. 

The higher altitude she climbed at that particular mountain, the colder it got.

Chills ran down her spine as if icicles had hung around the atmosphere.

  Every time the wind blew, the crown of the forest trees shook, after which the raindrops clinging to the leaves will fall to the ground as if the clear, cloudless sky that night had another drizzle.

Lilith advanced so fast that the dewdrops from the canopies couldn't drench what was left of her blue dress. 

She didn't want to care about this body at all since both of them—she and Luna—were immortal Archdemons.

Unfortunately, that only applied in Hell.

Their souls were powerful and indestructible in a sense--unless stronger Archangels from the Heavenly Realm were adamant on extinguishing their existence.

She admitted that being an Archdemon will not experience the death of the soul, but it wasn't entirely true.

The Demon Kind had the ability to heal fast, especially if their enemies were weak and couldn't inflict much damage against them.

Yet, if the Archdemons were against someone stronger than them, they will not disappear completely.

Still, their most primal essence—just a charred black soul goo with a consciousness-- will be trapped in the eighth and ninth circles of Hell, forgotten by the Archdemon civilization, which was only focused on defeating demon princes and princesses in the hope of taking over a specific Kingdom during Satan's tournaments.

They would stay like that for centuries until the Archdemon gained his strength back enough to morph into the appearance they desired.

Mostly, powerful Archdemons mimic humanoid forms since this was the most powerful shape they could take, and it would take a lot of Archdemon Magic to keep it.

It pissed her off that she couldn't use her Archdemon wings to fly upwards and scrutinize the entire realm to gain information about the territory.

At least, she recognized that she was in the Summer Courts and not at the previous location.

  Lilith didn't think that most enemies knew this fact since Demon Kind was good at keeping their weaknesses a secret.

The Demon Kind considered other creatures, weak in general, except for their real enemies in the Spiritual Realms—beings of Light residing in the Heavenly Realms and the Gods and Goddesses walking between any worlds they pleased.

Any creature that didn't belong to these classifications was considered a lower life form.

Lilith just hated that some of the critters the Archdemons called 'lowlife' can still be useful.

A tool for their freedom.

This was where the High Priestesses came in. 

Luna might be an Archdemon in the present, but she still thought that the girl was lower than the lowlife… and had a small chest to add.

It wasn't like she was envious... but for the life of her,  Lilith couldn't understand what the Vampire King loved about these mediocre looks. 

She recalled her time at the Spring Courts where Apollyon, Prince Aspen, King Zephyr, Cederic, and the High Priest Fei were there with them under the basement in Lilac Manor-- including the demonic faeries he and his companions had painstakingly gathered to exorcise her without her knowledge.

The captured prisoners were spring faeries under her demonic influence due to the cult her conjurer had started.

The beautiful young Fae practiced summoning Archdemons on her own from an old spell book, believing that Archdemon Magic was superior to the Summer Monarchs.

Now, Lilith had no idea where she got this forbidden spellbook.

Maybe, it was a grimoire passed down from her Fair Folk ancestors to their descendants for all she cared.

Lilith was aware that these ancient spells and witchcraft books were scattered all over the Material Realms to open portals from Hell and summon Archdemons and their legions.

It was obvious that the Fallen Angels and the First Archdemons have started this.

The ambitious conjurers from the Realm of the living will be used until the Archdemon bled them dry of their essence in exchange for a drop of Arhcdemon Magic.

Tonight was the night she would play as one of the conjurers.

When Lilith reached the edge of the cliff, she called for assistance from evil spirits around her. 

It was time to summon the Archdemon of Lust.
