Crimson Sin

The Break up: part 1

3rd person POV:

In Marry's RV, Patrisha, Suzy, Lola, Vanny, Yn, and Marry herself were gathered around to discuss their next move.

Mark, who had left to hunt down Lilly and the twelve Wardens of Hell, had not yet returned.

Marry: So we have twelve "wardens of hell" on Lilly's side.

Patrisha: You think they'd be against Lilly.

Lola: What do you mean?

Patrisha: Lilly or some previous Demon Queen imprisoned them in the moon.

Patrisha: According to old demon books, that's why werewolves exist and stuff.

Marry: What? Where did you get that information from?

Suzy: Yeah... Apparently, she memorized all of Yn's mom's demon books.

Suzy: That's how we knew to make an antidote.

Marry: Ugh... She's useful now?

Patrisha: Yep.

Lola: If the Zwise archives contained knowledge of these Hell Wardens, then tell us everything there is to know.

Patrisha: They're really old, so there wasn't much from the book about them I could learn.

Patrisha: What I know is the bits and pieces of translated text that were in the book, and the theories and speculation on the sticky notes left by who I assume is Mark and Yn's mom.

Patrisha: Basically, they were powerful demons who helped the demon ruler control hell.

Patrisha: But something happened, and they were trapped in the moon.

Patrisha: That's pretty much it...

Marry: That's not helpful in any meaningful way.

Patrisha: I can memorize things! Not understand them! The rest was just ancient text I didn't understand.

Lola: Can you write some?

Patrisha: Sure.

Shrugging, Patrisha writes some of the letters from the ancient text, showing it to the demon hunters.

Marry: Oh, fuck, it's this bullshit!

Yn: What's wrong?

Lola: It's Hell Latin.

Suzy: Hell Latin?

Marry: So... Back in the day, being a demon hunter made people think you were a witch or devil because of the knowledge you would know.

Marry: So old demon hunters made up a code language to confuse anyone who wasn't a demon hunter.

Marry: They wrote books and stuff, which they traded with other hunters, and if anyone else got one, they wouldn't understand shit.

Suzy: Cool, so you two can read it?

Marry: I can't. Can you?

Lola:(shakes head)

Patrisha: What do you mean you can't read it.

Marry: No one knows Hell Latin because it completely bombed!

Marry: It hid the demon stuff they were talking about but people who saw the jibberish thought it was some kind of devil language.

Lola: Sadly, many journals and documentation were still made using that language.

Lola: And due to several events, few if any were translated into modern tounge.

Lola: A book with that language, could sell for quite a lot actually.
