The rest of the day's itinerary for the eleven was to go to Snake Island, have some boodle fight lunch, and finally head back to the main resort.

While that was ongoing, Marjolina, Neon, Silver, Catarina, and Sukram were discussing plans for a certain ritual.

"So this Daemoness of Lust requires a host body of a breeder, and the blood of six other females, one of them being a breeder and the other the summoner itself," Catarina said to the others, "What do you suppose we do with it?"

"This is our vengeance against Vincent and his entire family," Marjolina replied. From her black widow abdomen she shot out a line of thread and pulled herself up, dangling from it.

"Let me tell you a small story," Marwyllise said. The others came closer just to hear her tale, and then the drider cleared her throat.

"The Svalbards were descendants of legendary Hunters hired by the Celestials to keep the Daemon and Celestial populations in check," Marjolina spoke, "These hunters were agreed upon by both Sides of the Ethereal Plane, and each side had fifty of these great Hunters."

"What does this have to do with the daemon summoning, the putting Vincent to jail, and the breakup?" Catarina asked.

"One of the Hunters, The Broken Thread, was the best and most exceptional of all the one hundred, showing exceptional talent along with The Seductress, a breeder daemon who is the sister of the Great Ovira herself," Marjolina continued, "Both of them were an unstoppable force, and both Celestial and Daemon alike revered to these two, decapitating rogue Celestials and Daemons left and right.

"Unfortunately, when the time came for the Omni Council, a supreme council composed of the wisest Celestials and Daemons, to select a new captain to lead the Hunters with justice, however, favor fell upon Corellon 'Ciel' Larethian, the supreme God of the elves and an exceptional Hunter himself. The Broken Thread was furious, and asked the Council blatantly why it would be him and not her. 'Hunters are meant to subdue the criminals and test their innocence before using their blade, not instantly killing them and ripping their guts out,' an elder Daemon replied, 'They only kill for justice when needed, you kill for sport.'

" 'But there are so many criminals that need punishment!' The Broken Thread protested.

" 'Yes, but where there is punishment, there is also absolution, if the guilty owes up to his mistakes', an elder Celestial replied, 'As a Hunter, you should know that!'

"Immediately, The Broken Thread and the Seductress lunged at the two elders and stabbed them right in the center of their necks, right in front of everyone else.

"After that, Ciel immediately stripped them of their positions and expelled them from the Ethereal Hereafter at the orders of the Council. They went around the other Dimensions, killing and sapping anyone of their life force and magic until they had powerful, infinite springs of magic welling up inside them. This is how they became our Supreme Gods.

"Unfortunately, it was Ciel's son and Lolth's daughter that crippled the Broken Thread and later dispelled the Seductress, who is now constantly depending on a physical form to survive. After that, they began to take down all cults that worship the Seductress and the Broken Thread."

"What does this have to do with you?"
Catarina asked. Marjolina turned around, and showed the hourglass on her black widow abdomen. It began to glow and change form and color to a purple symbol: an eye inside a circumscribed octagram.

"Our family, but our dad, are some of the last descendants of the Broken Thread cultists. We want to exact revenge on anyone and everyone who descended from the Hunters and / or who knew or is related to Ciel or His son," Marjolina exclaimed.

"Then definitely, you are not alone," Neon replied, "Of the combined populations of humans and mythological creatures in this country , thirty percent are supporters of the Cult. Fifty percent of remnants of age-old civilizations, the Plato Nava included, are also supporters. This does not include the other 210 countries of this Earth, which have Thread Cults which some governments secretly support."

"And how about our own planet?" Silver asked.

"Among the 120 billion residents of every race, more than five percent are Thread Cultists, and that includes rich, poor, powerful, and wimpy alike. They are all devout supporters and worshipers of the Thread and the Seductress, something Vincent does not see and has not seen during his term," Neon replied, "This means, we have a very large gathering to accomplish the ritual."

"But can we gather all of them in a single night?" Marjolina asked.

"They will happily oblige to come once word of the Ritual spreads," Catarina replied, "And I'll make sure Vincent and company don't notice!"

"Very good!" Marjolina replied, and she began to laugh maniacally...

Nehehehe....
