Epilogue: Forever

I still don't know what happened that day I had the vision of Daman dying at the hands of The Righteous Warriors. After all, all of Daman's visions had come true. So why hadn't that one?

I could only guess, of course, but I couldn't help but wonder if the Devil had given me the dream so that I'd think it was a vision and go back to Daman faster.

Either way, things changed between us that day. Daman kept true to his promise, and I to mine.

We didn't stay long at our cave in the woods, his vision he had before I ran away from him returned again. So we knew we had to go back to the town. We did so disguised of course, but before we returned we meticuously planned the battle ahead of us to take over The Righteous Warriors' headquarters where I'd been hung not so long ago.

The Devil provided us with an army of demons sent straight from Hell to help us in our quest, and though I had been worried about Daman being too cocky, too convinced we were going to win hands down, I needn't have been. It was as easy as he had reassured me it was going to be for days and days on end.

The battle only lasted four hours, from the time we stormed the gates to when we captured the head Righteous Warriors and slaughtered them. We had superhuman powers after all.

When Adam and Eve came to beg for my forgiveness, as Daman and I now ruled over them, I took pleasure in executing them both whilst they were grovelling on their knees.

"Adam, you never stopped Eve from torturing me. And I'm not sure which is worse, perpetrating the torture or standing by and doing nothing, even though you knew fully what was happening. Regardless, I shall kill you both now." Speech delivered, I ended their lives swiftly, perhaps feeling more generous than I should've done given their treatment of me.

Daman and I used the puny humans of the town, combined with more demons sent to us by the Devil to then conquer the world.

And, only two years after having first met Daman, the Holy Conversion had been ended. And everyone no longer needed to worship God. We had more human allies from common beliefs than I'd ever thought possible - about 1000 people didn't want to love God, Jesus and Heaven too. They joined us willingly, others were forced to join our ranks. But it didn't matter to me how they came to us so long as they obeyed.

Daman and I brought many of our demon children into the world to carry on our legacy, though I didn't understand what Daman originally meant when he'd said this to me.

"But I thought that we were practically invincible. That we would live forever..." I said, shocked.

"We could if we wanted to. But there's somewhere I think you'll enjoy better than Earth." Daman had replied with one side of his lips quirking up.

"You mean Hell?" I cried with wide eyes. And at Daman's nod, I added, "You mean we have to die to go there?"

I had to admit, despite all my powers and being the soulmate of the Devil's son, I was still scared of this thought.

"Not quite. We are demons. We can come from and go to Hell as we please. But I would rather live there permanently, once our children are old enough to take over from us, that is."

Live in Hell? Permanently? Hell...

"It's not like how it's described in the Bible, Ally. I mean, some of it is. For those human souls who don't believe in God and those who have done bad things in their lives. But for us demons, it can be paradise. I'll show you one day, if you'll let me."

My fears slightly abated, I agreed that one day I would go to Hell with him.

That day came around all too soon, but when we got there, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Daman was right. I should've trusted him completely, of course.

The Devil never sent Daman anymore visions, so we knew we'd achieved all that he wanted us to.

So when the real time came to transition from Earth to Hell, I had no qualms about it. I could still see my children when I wanted to. But I could escape dready Earth for the paradise of Hell. And if you'd told me that I would ever say that sentence at sixteen, I would've completely denied it.

But, most importantly, I could spend eternity with Daman, my soulmate. My forever was going to be amazing. I could tell you that now.

And that's a wrap! So, I hope you weren't too disappointed with the outcome. I know it was maybe a little anti-climatic so apologies for that.

I would just like to say, I have nothing against religion of any kind, whether it be Christianity or otherwise, so please don't be offended by this. It is just a work of fiction and it doesn't mean this is what I believe.

If you liked this epilogue, or the whole story, please VOTE and COMMENT. It means the world to me :)

Thanks for sticking with it until the end!
