I quickly fall asleep under the warmth and weight of my lovers. It was a quick session of love, but a fun one.
"Hello?" a voice calls out. "It's a lot harder to pull soone who isn't my daughter. You'll need to speak for to hear you. I'm not the owner of this land."
"Um, what?" I say. I'm surrounded by black, but I feel my body still. A bit different from the Goddesses taking up. Shouldn't I be scared about this?
"Good. I'm normally only bringing up my daughters here. Sorry," the woman says. "I'm Sarania's Mother. The demon at the divorce and then marriage and all that."
"Oh," I say. "I was hoping to talk with you about stuff." I can't see her, so I'm not sure if I should trust her. Does Nature or Justice have so way to pull up here? That could be dangerous.
"Yes, one second. Things still aren't right. Damn Goddesses making everything hard on . They believe that since they are the shiny ones, they are the center of attention. Here we go."
It takes a mont from her statent for anything to change. A small glow forms, like a fire, letting see the white demon. She doesn't have that small shine the Goddesses have, I guess, but she is still bright. She's missing the sword and hat, but has the sa black dress on.
"I want Sex to die," I say. "What do you want in return?"
"Sarania wasn't wrong about you having a request," the Demoness says. Not even flinching at my declaration. "You'll have to bait her out of her territory. Love has her rules, and the fact that she was overseeing a marriage, sothing she doesn't truly control, is what gave the ability to threaten her. You can hate Sex as much as you want; she rules over just her affinity. I'm not going to wander into her territory unless you get her to start wielding the affinity she doesn't own. Otherwise, you have to drag her out sohow."
"Got any ideas?" I ask. Is there a ritual that would drag them out? I doubt Fertility has a lot of knowledge on them when everyone calls her absent. Maybe Sea could help, or Space? Maybe promise Hearth that I'll be nicer to my wives?
"Dragon really has done a number on you," she says. "No. I wasn't really planning on killing Goddesses. This isn't a small ask. The others don't care for Sex, I think they all wish to be her, but they won't let kill her for free."
"I'm willing to pay," I say.
"How are you willing to pay ?" the Demoness asks. She studies for a bit. I don't know why, she clearly knows my body well. She knew about markings I didn't even know I had. "I've heard about what you've done so far, and I'm not sure if you wish to continue that style."
"What is the mission Sarania has for ?" I ask. "I'll complete it."
"I have two succubus daughters left. Well, direct daughters. I do like to call all my descendants Daughters. One is your servant, and the other is a prisoner of the temples. For a few hundred years, they tortured her for trying to have a kid. They've stopped in recent years, but they keep her locked up like so murderer. I can't just free her, too many wards in place. I would have to go down personally. The Goddesses have a pact not to go to the lower realms, and I'm the one exception. I go down, and they can co to fight . I've been waiting for them to do the right thing while I gather supplies. Can you promise you'll get her out?"
"Where is she?" I ask. Please be close. They all seem to think this Queendom is important. Wouldn't they give the long-term prison to it? Unless the higher realms took her away. But I have so connections there, I just don't want to wait till after the war. I need this promise now.
"The Queen should know. She's in your Queendom. Becoming Queen will only get you access to her. You'll have to find a way to convince the stuck-up bitches holding her to let her go. Priestesses can get a little too into following the Goddesses. Following rules that no longer exist."
"I can do that," I say. "No need to wait to be the Queen, or have a broodmare beco Queen. I can start now. I have a few things to promise the Queen if I need to."
That earns a small smile. Not that I deserve it. I should've asked Sarania about this a while ago and started without needing sothing in return. Sarania's sister has been through worse than I. How could I not do sothing about this? I'll get her out. Fertility should help as well.
"How much more do I need to pay to kill two Goddesses?" I ask. I doubt I have enough to get three, but maybe I can sneak Justice in as well. I doubt I could get Nature out of her territory, but Justice. I think Justice is a prideful woman. I can trick her out, I'm sure.
"I..." she lets out a heavy sigh, her eyes falling to the ground. What could make the powerful hesitate? "I want a sister."
"I'm good with kids," I say. "But I'm not sure how to give you a sister. I need soone to get pregnant, and I don't know who that would be in this instance. You seem to be the oldest of your line."
"The only way I can explain it is that you need to get the world pregnant," the Demoness says. "I don't know how or if that ans a sister will pop out or not. I just know the world is my mother like the elder Goddesses."
"Anything else I can give?" I ask. I know I wanted to stop this, but I would really like to give her so daughters. She's kind of pretty. "How do you know getting the world pregnant would give you a sister? Couldn't that just make another elder Goddesses?"
"Promise you'll try to find a way to give a sister," the Demoness says.
"I'll ask Fertility about it," I say. "She should know about it, or maybe she has a ritual for it tucked away sowhere? I'll figure it out." Two things I need to figure out now. Three, if you count getting Justice and Sex out of their lands. I'll need to get them out together. I doubt they'll be leaving their territory anyti soon if I only get one out.
"Then I want a daughter. Promise to help get a sister and get pregnant. I know the world will make a sister because the Goddess of poison, the one I killed, poisoned the world before I was born, and that is what created . I don't know how or why or anything. I didn't care about the Goddess of Poison till she aid to poison my line. I've been thinking she may have succeeded at that."
"I'll give you as many daughters as you want," I say. "But this deal with getting the world to create a sister is going to be hard. I doubt the Goddesses are going to be much help."
"I understand. Do what you can. I have a feeling you'll have plenty of ti and a lot more power to do it than you think. In the anti, find a way to get the two Goddesses together outside their lands. I would like so help. Taking two of them won't be easy, even with what I've prepared."
"I'm sure Fertility would be happy to help get so revenge and make it so I'm not Sex's champion."
"Thank you," the Demoness says. "Good luck. Make it through and you'll get your final revenge on two of them."
"I can't wait to see you with a belly," I tease.
The light fades away, and dreams take over.
*** Nature ***
Slow. That genocidal goddess just had to step in for more deaths. Fights everywhere! Why let the stronger side just walk in and enact their will? I've been grooming this army for millennia. Why would these Queendoms get to hold their own against ? I can't flank them, I can't surprise them, I can't do anything but fight head-on, with the enemy knowing everything that is happening the second it happens. She won't help . She'll let , a Goddess, get surprised.
"You've got how many beasts and you can't move faster?" Justice says.
"Most of them are stupid," I say. "You try getting sothing that will live this long and be powerful out of a mortal. I'm moving along a lot faster than you are."
"I'm not the Goddess over my forces," Justice says. "Many of them are just hiding behind Dragon's skirt instead of fighting for justice. Letting a dragon breed with the phoenixes isn't getting them to co. They just don't have the heart for it. I'm in a fair fight, unlike you."
"I've got several Goddesses against ."
*** Phrogni, Sister to the Queen of the Dragons ***
It hurts more than I expected to have our Goddess refuse to help us. I've co close to making my sister my mate. Maybe I should. But the Goddess wants the strong to live. If she wanted us to stop, she would openly support Alzi. No, our Goddess has what she wants already and just needs to see the strong survive.
I hope. It could just be a cruel ga to get us killed. We're closer than I'd like to blasphemy.
"Sister," I say. "We have to be careful. Nature isn't moving as fast as we thought."
"Crazy that they're getting held up," my sister says. "Champion! What is going on? We were told they would be fractured. Why are we facing two higher realms and the Queendom? Then the Goddesses even help them. Justice and Nature aren't doing much for us."
"They are working for you," the Champion says. "Think you would be alive right now if you didn't have them backing you?"
Nature did earn us a place to set up in the lower realm. But with us having to worry about the Phoenixes attacking our realm, we can't bring all the limited warriors we have into the attack now. Too many listened to the Goddess's will.
We'll have an issue if this level of fighting continues. My sister may do sothing unforgivable if we stay stuck. We aren't here to destroy the lower realm, just take back our blood.
