I paced around my room, noticing how my desk was messy, how silly of me. I compulsively organized it, My books in a nice stack, my pencils all right-side-up in their pencil holder(There are ten pencils, I like counting), my laptop perfectly centered, and my fresh cup of peppermint tea next to my small potted-cactus. The group had made me in charge of finding a way to help Erik. So far... I had nothing. I took a blue pen from my desk, chewing on it.
"We tried healing water...we tried giving him time- and reminding him...still,nothing."I mumbled to myself, writing down every possible idea that came to my mind. Most people didn't like being alone, but I enjoyed having no siblings at camp. They would ruin my perfect system, they would make everything messy.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Probably Ezra, I thought as I opened the door. Alas, I was wrong. In front of me stood my mother, Lilith. Her long black dress had actual blue flames at the end of it, her slightly tan skin glowed. She had a short black hair cut, she was Asian, like me, her yellow eyes glistened, and a Screech Owl sat on her shoulder. I noticed her curved horns with golden clamps around them. Her expensive jewelery glowed(Lucifer had totally bought it all for her.)
"Ah, greetings Aella."She stepped towards me.
"Good..."I paused, looking at my watch. 12:30 AM. "Good morning."I finished.
"No hugs?"Lilith asked, giving me a warm smile... and yet, she was still cold and fierce. "Nope."I replied.
"Good."She chuckled a bit."I have an errand for you to run. In exchange your friend can get his memory back."Lilith explained.
"What do I have to do?!"I asked, now interested in the topic we were facing.
"Ah, just dive into hell, gather my crown, and then return it to me. I would go but... I've been exiled for a month. Sadly, I lost a bet with Mammon. And... I don't have control over my palace without my crown, anyway. It goes rogue. But meet me back here."Lilith sighed, petting her Screech Owl."Mother, I cannot simply dive into Hell by myself. I need people to come with me."I reminded her.
"Ah, yes. I knew I was forgetting something. Take that Erik boy with you, a child of Asmodeus named Valentina, and Octavia, daughter of Andrealphus."She told me, her Screech Owl became reckless, it began to screech and hoot."Sadly, we must go. Do not die in Hell. And, hurry."Lilith smiled, before she disappeared into thin-air.
"Gee, thanks."I mumbled, slamming the cabin door.
I picked up my pen. Octavia... I'd never heard of her. I think I've seen Valentina, though. She could heal people with her charm, I believe she took care of Erik as he was...well... dying. I picked up an owl feather from the floor, throwing it into the trashcan. Okay... My third quest... I could do this. Though, I'd never plunged into the depths of Hell before. Luckily, my mother's palace was in the first level, so I wouldn't die as I breathed the air.Still... I felt eerie about this mission. Not to mention I have to meet new people, ew.
