“Hey, you… you – you bitch of a Vampire…” Lilith, the Queen of Demons wearing only a black bra and a short skirt made from a ripped dirty cloth, barked out. (Shockingly, her beauty did not cease to shine even then.) She was drunk, but everyone in the ballroom seemed to be on their side with this one.

“Yes… What did you say to Hades, Vanessa? If you did not try to lure in my husband with your vulgar behavior, what were you speaking of? Most are demons here… mostly equal to or even higher than you... So there is no reason for hiding it, ” Persephone, the gorgeous red-haired beauty wearing a never dirtying cloth weaved in Olympus added to the accusation.

“Please… what are you all accusing me of? I do not even have a king! I am still a fucking virgin!” Vanessa backed away from the crowd pushing toward her. “And – And!”

“Slut!” The three-eyed and four-eyed demons screamed at her, throwing cups and whatever was in their hands. Even one of her Vampire generals threw a glass of wine toward her. “Slut! Whore!! Son of a —”

“You don’t get to call me a slut, you awful creatures!” Vanessa cried out from the top of her lungs. “I have heard what you both have been doing in your chambers while Milord has gone for his reasons!”

The two faces of the Goddess and the Queen went pale.

“Yes! I know! You two have been pleasuring each other with many vulgar actions in secret! I know… I have heard of your awfulness, and you call me a slut!”

The crowd turned to the two ladies of the Lord of Hell, awaiting their response.

“OH SHIIIIIT!!” The whisperer yelled into the mic from the DJ booth.

There was absolute silence for a few seconds, with two pale faces and a tiny smile of pleasure from the Vampire Queen who was soaked in margarita.

“Get with the times, homophobic!” Vasiliz snapped from the crowd, throwing a tomato which he had been summoning for quite a while now.

“Slut! Whore! Homophobic!” The screams of the crowds were ever-increasing, and Vanessa almost fell into tears.

“Ugh!!” Vanessa yelped as she shifted back into a little bat and flew away to rest in the top half of the gigantic pillars where no one could throw anything at her.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Right then and then, the doors of the basement opened wide and the crowd shifted their heads only to see an old, wrinkled man with an old three-headed hound.

“Huh!? Hades!!” Persephone cried out in vain. “What has happened to you, my dear!” She pushed through the crowd to meet with Hades, and the crowd pushed forward to see what ill fate had befallen the King of the Underworld.

“I –” before Hades could speak, he was hugged tightly by his lovely wife, Persephone. He hugged her back.

However, Lilith did not rush to her devil of a husband ever so eagerly, because she had been deceived before. Whenever a being would ask if she trusted her lover, she would reply, “Would you trust the Devil?”

“Hmm… you old runt,” she called out from behind the large crowd surrounding Hades and Persephone. “Have you decided to test your kinks in the form of an old man? Well well… I should have known,” she added. “I still do love you, old crone.”

“Aww….” the crowd was surprised by their great affection, except for one little bat hanging from a tall pillar. ‘Why do I live amidst these freaks?’ she thought, shaking her head.

Both Persephone and Lilith stood with Hades, in the Lord’s two arms. His right hand wrapped around Persephone’s waist and his left hand under the skirt of Lilith, for he knew his wives very well.

“So, Hades… tell us! Why have you taken the form of an old man?” One reasonable voice called out.

“Well… there is no meaning in hiding this," the Devil announced."Since the Earth has fallen, we all know that our powers grew weaker. Earth was, after all, a life source for the many. And so… as our dear friend Vasiliz suggested, I may as well look for another world… or worlds, for our Underworld to exist.”

A few heads nodded to the statement, there were pats given for Vasiliz as he blushed pridefully and a few eyes narrowed suspiciously. Lucifer sensed a wave of suspicion, yet, he continued and left it unspoken.

“So, as a Star-crossed traveler has said to Vasiliz, the higher beings of the universe are creating a great throne. A throne for the whole Galaxy of what humans referred to as ‘The Milky Way.’ Well, trust me on this my dear folk. This is a big fish. We are Gods for this godforsaken humanity… or, as of now, we were. However, I do not believe that we should proceed to be rulers of a fallen world. We should aim for the —”

“Messire…” a demon lord, fat and long-nosed interrupted his majesty’s speech. “Have you grown weak…?”

A wave of whispers flew across the crowd, and the Devil smiled. “Have I now?” he murmured, in a slow and vicious whisper. His hands resting on the waist of the two wives slid off and took the cane which Cerberus was holding from its jaws.

“Have I?” The Devil waved the cane at such a speed, no one saw how it transformed from a cane to a sword and back to a cane once more.

The crowd fell silent, and the demon lord’s head fell off his neck. The body fell onto the ground and the head rolled on towards Satan’s feet. The head was still grinning, and of course, alive.

“Ok… he is not, apparently,” the head squealed. “Ah –”

The Devil stepped on the treacherous demon’s head and gazed at the crowd with gleaming red eyes and slowly tightened his foot against the face. “Remember… Never will I grow weaker than any of you. No one can step above me, demon lords… or any Gods, if there are some shapeshifters present in the ballroom. NEVER!”

The crowd fell silent.

“Good. Now, the party is over… we shall continue onwards by the coming sunrise. We shall sail the sea of stars… and show the otherworldly beings what we are. Anyone who would rather stay on this wasteland of an Earth? Or has more important business to attend to?”

Utter silence in the ballroom once more.

“Well then… that’s done. Remember, first light tomorrow. And, as my great minds for this conquest… I have to choose my most humble servants. Death himself, Vasiliz, my wives, of course, the great shapeshifter Andre, Hecate,” here, a number of cheers went on, “and finally… the Queen of Vampires, Vanessa.”

“Boooo!!” the crowd cried out. However, hanging on the top of the pillar, the little bat smiled joyously for she was chosen by the great Devil himself.

“Shut the fuck up!” The Devil roared. “Are you showing displeasure with my personal choices? Tonight, many beings seemed to have forgotten their places. I am greatly disappointed in you runts… all of you now flee and prepare for our great flight. And – do spend your night in the chambers within the palace… for there won’t be anything stopping those great mountains from erupting. For the last time… First light in the morning!”

To be continued….
