Lucifer slammed his fist into the pool of water he'd just watched one of his demons being eaten by the dragon in. Someone had taken his Oracle from under his nose and killed two of his best demons in the process. He was furious at the loss, she had afforded him great power.
"But I thought her being found brought us closer to your apocalypse." Said Dita from across the room. She knew better than to get too close to her father when he was in a rage. That was a good way to lose her horns or even her life.
"It does." He said furiously. "But I thought it would be a great battle fought by famed warriors that would be remembered through the ages. Not a surprise skirmish from a nobody vampire and his mongrel team. Plus I had a hind all these centuries and didn't even know because of incompetence. Apparently, none of you fools can spot a hind without horns or nails. I didn't have to charm that hag Mab for hinds blood." Dita looked at the group of her sisters who were gathered with her and swallowed.
"Father. We could go and reclaim her for you. I know the family. I..."
"You're in love with the youngest mongrel. I can't trust you. Now they have her, I will let events play themselves out." He said with a snarl. She wanted to deny loving Cassiel but contradicting their father was dangerous enough when he was in a good mood. In a bad mood, he might just fry her to a crisp on the spot.
"Go to the house. Fawn over your mongrel. Make sure the Oracle doesn't come to love man or creature kind. I need her to be as indifferent to them as she was in ancient times."
