Hellfire by Finesse28

Getting down to business

The next evening I went to meet my connect to reop on what I needed. I pulled my beanie over my head and slipped into my fur coat and slid on some glasses. My lover Pristina caught herself cleansing my apartment of bad energies. She sat in the corner with incense burning while she spoke softly. I kneeled down and gave her a kiss. I hopped on my bike as the door lifted and rode out of there.
Ezra was looking over a relic as I came inside. She looked up as she felt my presence putting the item down. "Is it true your going against your father?"
"Word travels fast I see." I slid off my shades.
"Your gonna need some real good artillery to have a chance against that."
"More like divine intervention itself." I joke.
"It's never too late even for the damned." She presses a code under her display case and the door opens.
She changes the sign on her door to break and we both walk inside her secret room that was full of old relics and weapons. Lights illuminate certain shelves as she passes. "Shopping for anything particular?"
"Something that won't way me down and easy to conceal." I slid my hands in my coat.
"I see." She picks up a few guns and knives then places them on the table.
She picks up a box of sharp tipped bullets. "These are filled with Holy water, these will be efficient against lower level demons."
I picked it up looking at it then picked up one of the handguns checking the chamber mechanism.
"Ah yes the hammer of God." I call it very precise, less blowback and almost undetectable at first glance.
Ezra shows me a few more guns and I scoop up one of the knives one in particular. It was Jewel encrusted with a jagged tip called the "Hellblade." The name said it all created by a unknown creator that was made with blessed metal if a demon was fatal pierced by it they would die unless given the elixir that was made to counteract it.
"I expect you will face some opposition from your siblings." Ezra crossed her arms.
"Oh I'm looking forward to it."
Especially Damian we had a old score to settle.
*******************
My next trip was to visit Soriel the queen of serpents and also connected to the underworld. I walked through the brothel and some of the girls looked at me as I passed. I had a big sexual appetite but that wasn't what I was looking for tonight. Selena, one of the girls comes to me giving a devilish smile. "Hey sexy it's a been awhile." She bites her lips as her hand travels down to my crotch.
A smile spreads across my lips and I slowly pull her hand away. "Not tonight love."
She frowns. "Aww we could have had fun."
"I'm here to see you mistress Soriel."
She pushes a lock of black hair back. "She's in the back."
I stroke her face. "Thanks Selena."
She watches as I walk to the back. Soriel was lounging in her chair as her snake slithered over her body. I push the beads back and she glances at me. "Morgan...it's always a pleasure to see you."
"I'm not here for pleasure tonight." I slid my hands in my back pockets.
"Hmmm shame, what do you need then? Info?" She sits up.
"What do you know about the army my father is building?"
"Ahhh....Lucifer's legion. It's intrigued a lot of the demons. I only know from what I've heard, trying to raise hell on earth, blah, blah. Honestly I'm not interested. Did Jax come to you?"
"Matter of fact he did, I'm guessing he came to you as well. You say you want to be neutral but what about your girls? You know how Damian's twisted mind works."
"Yes he's given me a proposal as well. Said my women would be protected if I sided with him." She places her baby inside its basket.
I lift a brow. "Did you agree?"
"Of course not. I have some sort of standards. " She poured herself a drink.
"Well who has joined?"
"Damian of course his prodigal son, probably promised him the throne after it's done with. Lilith and Augustine that I know of aside from the lower level demons."
"Of course Augustine sided dying to gain daddy's approval."
I might have had his bloodline but I had none of their interests. I enjoyed living more among the humans, watching how mortals interacted, feeling warmth of their bodies as I took them to eternal bliss. But the one thing I would never forgive was how he let my mother die when I was younger. She had become terminally ill, he said she had fulfilled her purpose giving him a child who could reign on earth. But Damian was more like him ambitious and manipulative.
"Make sure your well prepared because he knows now that you are coming. He will not hold back because you are his seed Morgan."
"Even Lucifer has a weakness." I turn on my heel walking away.
