The Unholy Trinity {The Unholy Trinity: Book Zero}

Angel of Mine

The night was shrouded in an eerie ambiance as the members of the Justice League Dark gathered in the depths of Hell for Raven's coronation as the new Princess. The air crackled with arcane energy, and the dim glow of hellfire cast flickering shadows across the ancient stone walls.

Raven stood at the center of attention; her regal presence juxtaposed with her usual enigmatic aura. Her emotions danced within her, a complex tapestry of happiness, nerves, and a hint of sadness that Flamebird couldn't be present. Nonetheless, she understood the importance of his duties with the Lantern Corps and accepted his absence with a bittersweet grace. As the ceremony commenced, the solemnity of the occasion embraced Raven's heart, but beneath it all, a subtle excitement stirred. This was a milestone, a recognition of her power and influence over the realm she had conquered. The weight of responsibility rested on her slender shoulders, and she was determined to prove herself worthy of this newfound title.

Beside her, Captain Marvel stood tall, his chest puffed out with pride. The young hero admired Raven's growth and accomplishments, seeing her transformation from a troubled young woman into a force to be reckoned with. His eyes shimmered with admiration as he watched her, knowing that she would bring a unique perspective and strength to the team. John Constantine, ever the irreverent cynic, wore a sly smirk, his pride for Raven concealed beneath his sarcastic facade. He recognized her journey and the sacrifices she had made, both for herself and those she cared for. And in his own peculiar way, Constantine found solace in knowing that despite the chaos and darkness that surrounded them, there were individuals like Raven who defied the odds and rose to greatness.

The ceremony unfolded with somber elegance, blending the sinister beauty of Hell with the regalia of royalty. Raven's coronation marked a new era, an alliance between the supernatural and the mortal realms. The gathering was a sight to behold, filled with otherworldly beings, both awe- inspiring and terrifying. Amidst the solemnity and grandeur, Raven's emotions swirled within her, but her determination never wavered. She was ready to embrace her role as Princess of Hell, to lead with wisdom and strength, and to ensure the delicate balance between darkness and light.

The grand hall fell into a hushed silence as Lucifer, the fallen angel and ruler of Hell, stepped forward to crown Raven as the Princess of Hell. Their presence commanded attention, their ethereal beauty and enigmatic aura captivating all who gazed upon them. With a voice that resonated with both power and grace, Lucifer began their speech. Their words carried a weight of ancient wisdom and a profound understanding of the delicate balance between darkness and light. They spoke of Raven's journey, her triumphs and struggles, and the strength she had shown in conquering her own demons.

"Denizens of Hell, esteemed guests from realms near and far, today we gather to witness a momentous occasion—a coronation that marks a turning point in the tapestry of existence. For too long, the shadows of Hell have been shrouded in chaos and despair. But now, a new era dawn. Raven, child of darkness and harbinger of light, stands before us, her spirit unyielding and her resolve unwavering. She has journeyed through the depths of her own soul, confronting her inner demons with a tenacity few can fathom. In her, we find the embodiment of resilience and the promise of redemption." As Lucifer spoke, their eyes sparkled with a mix of mischief and sincerity. Their words seemed to flow effortlessly, painting vivid images of the realms and the responsibilities that Raven would now shoulder. The audience, comprised of the Justice League Dark, Raven's demons, and Lucifer's subjects, listened with a mix of reverence and curiosity. "Today, we crown her as the Princess of Hell, not merely a title, but a mantle of responsibility and guardianship. She shall lead with a wisdom beyond her years, guided by her innate understanding of the delicate balance between darkness and light. Her presence shall bring order and stability, forging a union between realms that have long stood divided. Raven, you are not only a vessel of power but also a beacon of hope. You have confronted the depths of despair and emerged stronger, transforming your pain into strength, and your scars into sources of wisdom. Your journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the potential for growth that lies within each of us."
