Ephemeral

1: Queen

Lucifer

Ethereal.

That's how I described the beauty of the woman who immured me in this dungeon. They put a blindfold on me and they even tied me up on a chair. I can smell the stench of blood everywhere and I am not ignorant to not know what the purpose of this room is.

Now, they see me as an intruder of their kingdom. Hell, I don't even expect these creatures really existed, but I cannot say that they are really powerful. Yet, that girl held herself regally like a queen and the way how she yanked my wings against my back, I thought my wings will fall off from my flesh.

My mind wanders back to Astaroth's report on how Rahab's legion has been decimated in just one night. He proved that this is not the work of angels, nor humans and we racked our brains to think what can be the possible creature that could do that.

But Heqt came back with an information that she spotted a peculiar fortress not far from the gates of Gehenna, so Astaroth, Heqt, and I came to see what she is talking about and now we found out that it is a sort of an empire or like that. Heqt pointed out that this is the exact place where one of my hordes has been destroyed easily.

The three of us infiltrated the fortress so easily, it is so strange that nobody is paying attention to us. But I still feel some eyes are observing our movements, the place feels strangely cold and the people that's surrounding us are like humans. But their eyes are the color of rose red or scarlet red, I am amused because I never see a human like this. Not even in my entire existence, and their skin looks so inhumanly pale.

Heqt leaned to whisper on me, "My lord, it is better if we separate ways to find out what this place is." I reluctantly nod, "Go ahead, I'll be fine myself." who will be stupid enough to fight me? They are so dumb if they do that.

The three of us went separate ways and now I found myself walking to a path where there is lots of trees. I fly upwards and when I spotted a window, I perched myself above a tree branch.

From what I see, this is a room but a huge one with a four poster canopy king size bed in the center with crimson blankets and cream colored pillows. The room exactly looks like fit for a royalty, and I figured that this is a room of a girl.

Minutes after, the door of the room opened and a very gorgeous woman came inside, wearing a black robe that ends mid-thigh. She has this long wavy platinum blonde hair and a curvy body, but that is all I see from where I am.

Curious, I still wait for what she will do and she tossed a bloody sword on the bed. I don't know but I found myself watching her, instead of finding out what happened to my horde.

My eyes widened when she peeled off the robe from her body, letting the moonlight feast on her ethereal beauty. I've seen a lot of beautiful women, Lilith is also beautiful but this one is different and I cannot put my finger on what makes her different.

She walked towards the other door, yet she stopped and sensing that someone else is watching her. I hid behind the leaves, and to my relief she ignored my presence. It seems that she is going to have a bathe and now I need to regroup with Heqt and Astaroth.

But when I was about to go down, a scepter hit me hard on the face that sent me flying to the direction of the window and unfortunately, I didn't see the face of the culprit who did this to me.

And now, I am stuck in this situation at the mercy of the creatures called vampire.

I heard the door creaked open, it didn't show it but my senses are full alert as I balled my fists in frustration. I will make sure that I will kill that bastard who sent me in this situation.
