A Tale of Two Hells

Chapter Five: Intrusion of an Atlantian

Totec stared boredly ( is that even a word?) At his glass of blood in front of him on the table.Krolus on his lap, playing his bottle. Doing his own little baby noises.While Tori spoke with Marionette, both women holding the daughters on their laps. Around the dinninghall, Cenobites and nobles chatted with these new comwer with interest. Lilith, the pink hair succubus tried to flirt with Chatterer at one point. Ultimately, Cindy looked at her as a threat.

" Whats wrong with that cenobite?" Marionette gestured over at Cindy and her death glare upon Lilith.

" Mother and Cindy have always had jealousy about them. Both had a thing for Xipe at one point." Tori explained."If I weren't her daughter, Angelique would have had me murdered long ago."

" Whose Jedah speaking to?" Marionette asked.

" That's one of my at long last found aunts. We call her and her twin sister, the wire twins." Tori said.

Marionette smiled," You know, at first I was afraid of your people....I mean Cenobites. But now I have learned they are indeed very kind."

" You just be glad you are no human."

Jedah glanced up from where he sat at the table, and stood. Bringing his glass over and sat next to Totec," You seem very bored." He started.

Totec looked at Jedah for a moment, then shrugged."I've had more exciting evenings." He said emotionlessly.

Jedah smiled and sat next to him," I have always wondered about those nails in your face." He began.

" What of them?"

" Why are they there?"

" Leviathen put them there, and I did not ask why." He answered,

Jedah nodded," Do they hurt?"

" No, the pain has long sense then numbed."

Again Jedah nodded," One more question, Totec. Your twins. How are you going to choose your successor for the throne?"

" What do you mean?"

" I ask because my father left the Doma throne to me, however. Natla, my twin sister became angered and lead
her armies against me, it lead to her exile to Atlantis. To share a throne with two others."

" And you think if I choose one, then the other will become jealous and be driven to the state Natla was." Totec mused. Then looked over at the bee woman and Lilith." Tell me, where did you find a bee and a very confused looking succubi?"

"Q-bee I found in the forest one afternoon. I had been reborn two days before...she was caught in a bear trap. I freed her and she offered me her bee army and her own servises( spelled wrong?) to me. Lilith is a different story. She was appart of Morrigan Aensland's soul...."

"Who?"

" Ah, forgive me. she was the daughter of Moloch Berial Aensland. He was ruler of the Succubi and Incubi lands."

" Was?"

" I killed him. He declared war with my people as soon as I fell. Now Morrigan was a spirited succubi, whose lust over a vampire lead Moloch to insanity. For centuries I had tried to keep the peace between the vampire and incubi race. But that peace broke as soon as he found his daughter in bed with Demitri Maximoff, a young vampire noble. He blamed apart of her soul and took it from her, where he named this part,Lilith. He said he was her father and locked her away in a far tower. Lilith screamed for help. For over one thousand years. Until I heard her cries and freed her."

" I see. " Totec said taking a sip of blood. He was about to speak again, when something came flying into the dininghall.And exploded through the wall. A ball of flame. Totec slowly rose, holding Krolus tightly. He glanced around. His eyes widened." Spread out to the floor." He ordered as several more balls of flame came flying into the room. Tori tried to calm Nesmie. Then she looked around," What's that noise?" She asked.

Marionette gently placed Easter down and stood. " Jedah, Atlantians." She said to her husband.Totec glanced up just as someone, walked into the diningroom. Following this woman were skinless creatures. With dart shooters. And fangs.

" Natla." Jedah growled." What business do you have to enter the Labyrinth?!"

" Jedah, dear brother, is this any way to treat your sister?"

Totec handed Cindy Krolus and arose from where he croutched down by his seat." Natla of Atlantis. Who let you out?"

"I have my allies, Totec." Natla said.

" Lucifer." He mused to himself.

" Wrong. Lucifer suffered at my hands. When he resurrected Jedah." Natla said. And noticed Jedah reaching for his back. Where a long rod began to form slowly. She knew he was summoning Ba'al. His trademark Scythe. The scythe that was appart of his metal razor sharp wings. Then her eyes moved to Totec, his hands reached for a knife." Tell your husband, to remove his weapons.Tori." She ordered.

Tori had given Nesmie to Angelique and walked slowly around the table, her own blade out." Leave." She ordered firmly.

" I came for Jedah." Nalta said." Please all of you, lower your weapons. I do not want to fight."

Jedah dispelled Ba'al and wondered towards Natla. Marionette following." The scion, puppet."Natla said towards Marionette.

" No." Marionette said." I will not let you unleesh your monsterous creations to the mortal realm."

" If you do not...." She paused just as something struck her in the side. One of Totec's weapons. Sparking a fight. The Atlantians ran on all fours passed Natla. Tori readied her knife. As Jedah summoned his blade.
