SirenNight --- Lust Wars --- Lord Azazel (IC)

[SirenNight]

It wasn’t a truly terrible thing, posing as the Queen’s chambermaid. For one thing, most of her chores were simple and required really no thought. And another thing, the Queen was never out of her sight for even a second. She called upon her relentlessly, having her close to attend to her every need. The Queen even started to commend her on the art of her work which struck some sort of odd chord within Selene’s black soul. She smiled and bowed like a happy servant, graced with this woman’s presence.

“Emmalina,” the Queen called once more.

“Yes, your majesty?” Selene asked, looking up.

The Queen mentioned for her to come over. Selene obeyed, with another bow and the Queen asked her to brush her hair for the night. “Yes, my Queen,” she said, taking the polished brush from the woman’s vanity mirror and stroking the silky strand that governed her illustrious hair.

As the Queen relaxed more and more, Selene noticed something. She didn’t know what it was but it was heading up the stair to the Queen’s tower. A darkening presence, much like her own…Naberius…It seemed her newest foe didn’t waste any time…he was heading this way, masking his darkness by a human form not unlike her own.

Selene lowered her eyes and put her hand over the Queen’s head. “Shhh…” she sang when the Queen protested lightly. Soon, the woman fell over, unconscious in Selene’s arms. She placed her neatly upon her bed and switched from her human form into her true succubus appearance as Naberius, in the form of the King entered.

“I have been awaiting you…” She said softly. “So you stand to gain by killing this woman! But I…I will not let you harm her.”

[Lord Azazel]

Naberius stopped cold in his tracks when he spotted the succubus. The anger he felt at the Queen had now gotten stronger at the sight of the lesser creature. How could the succubus had figured out were he was going and what he planned to do. Who had told her. But that did not matter to him at this very moment as he clenched his hand and true blood before releasing it and looking at the succubus with hatred in his eyes. “Why do you even bother to stop me?. Do you not remember last time when I killed the princess right in front of you and you did nothing to stop me. And now the Queen is in the same position and you won’t even stop me “He said in a dark voice as he walked past the succubus and looked down at the queen. He placed a hand on her cheek before removing it and looking at the succubus once again.

“ I am surprised that you do not kill her yourself. After all she is taking all your men that you could have seduced and bedded. The amount of men she slept with is equal to the Whore of the Greek god Aphrodite’s give or take a few. And yet you would allow her to live… where she is doing something better that you are made for. How could you allow her to live with that knowledge? “ He said in a dark voice as he placed his human hand back on the queen face and began to rub her cheeks in a loving way even though he did not love her at all. The power and control over the lives of those he seduced and those he killed made him the most feared as well as respected incubus. He took out a vial of poison and opened it and slowly poured the poison into the queens mouth and then forcefully made the queen swallow it before turning back to the succubus.

“ Since you want to save the Queen so much. You have 4 hours before the poison kills her. If I was you I would move quickly and figure out what the cure is before its too late. But in the meantime I will be going to my next target on the list. The woman will be killed by her own son.. After he catches her cheating on his father with another man. What delight in seeing a son kill his mother in cold blood. “ He said in a dark voice as he changed back into his inubus form and walked out of the room. Hmm what will the succubus do.. will she stop him or save the Queen ?. He wondered as he stood outside the door waiting to see what happened,.

[SirenNight]

It was hard. Selene had to watch all of her hard work literally melt away in front of her. Before she could respond and keep the bastard Incubus from killing the Queen, his words had confounded her. Why was she doing this? Why couldn’t she stand aside like a good succubus and let the incubus murder the queen with no fight at all? Why did this bother her so much? Why was it killing her inside to see the Incubus win? Maybe…maybe she didn’t want to be a Succubus anymore. She wanted to be like these women, these amazing women who could sate their lust using men, refusing to be underneath them. She wanted more than her simple life of seduction.

But it was too late. Naberius had given the Queen a poison, a poison not even she could identify and already was heading for his next victim. She cried out and sank to her knees, seeing the Queen’s face flushed from the poison. It was only a matter of time and she knew she couldn’t save the poor woman. But she could still stop that arrogant monster from destroying the next woman. She could stop him right then and there. With a shrill cry, she blasted the door open and seized the Incubus by the neck.

“NO!!!!” She screamed, slamming him to the wall and holding him there. “I won’t let you hurt them. I won’t sit by anymore as your kind’s plaything. I am not that kind of woman anymore…no…I won’t let you crush women and make them your toys, your tools of obedience…” Her nails pierced her neck as she breathed in and out. “Your little list ends here…”

[Lord Azazel]

Naberius not expecting the lesser creature to attack him was not prepared when she pushed up against the wall. He heard her screaming at him. The anger he was keeping back before now came to the surface as he pushed her hard towards the ground. He looked at her with his hands clenched as if he was about to strike her when he stopped when he smelled another demon around. He looked around trying to find this demon before it struck him.. But he was not quick enough and the demon attacked him with a knife. He was barely able to move out of the way as the demon lunged at him with the knife. The demon falling hard to the ground sneered as it got up and attacked Naberius once again. But this time Naberius was quick enough to block the attack and grab the knife. He looked at the demon before he tossed him across the hallway towards a now open door. The demon hit it hard and went though it before letting out a groan. He turned towards the succubus and looked at her.

“ It seems your wish was heard although it might not be a good thing. Apparently there is a bounty on our hands by our former masters. Well at least it appears to be one for me anyway. Whatever changed in the underworld has affected me. “ He looked towards the area were the down demon was and slowly walked towards it. He took out his own knife preparing himself for the worse when he suddenly stopped when he heard what appeared to be shouts coming from outside. He walked towards the window and froze. Outside their was a large gathering of demons of all sorts. From incubus and Succubus to your normal demons. All looking to cash their money in on the bounty, or just trying to make a name for themselves. It seemed that he had been betrayed after all by his master and the others. He walked back to the Succubus and looked at her.

“ Well if they are after me. They might be after you, So what do you say.. We put behind our differences and worked together to figure out why there a bounty on our heads and why we got betrayed. But do not think you are better than.. Me because you are not. But you are useful so that is why I have no intention of killing you. But do not cross me “ He told the succubus in a dark voice as he waited for her to respond

[SirenNight]

Well this was really something. As soon as you expected backlash for her impudence, Selene dropped the Incubus as he was attacked by another demon. Though it didn’t take long for the Incubus to take care of the issue, she wondered what all this nonsense could be about. And then he spoke of some sort of truce, a pact between them to help fight off whatever bounty had been placed upon their heads. But how? Did that Incubus she slept with blab to the Master? Well, then she would be the only one to blame for the uproar. No…instead, the demons seemed to be after Naberius, while there was no current action used against her…

She snickered at Naberius’s offer to work together. “Why, oh why would I work with one such as you. A pig, a tool used to isolate women, to crush my kind…while your’s celebrates and flourishes above all else.” She pushed him aside. “I refuse. Deal with these imbeciles yourself. I see no bounty being called out for me.” After shoving him, she sank into the floor, it seemed and melted outside of the walls, materializing as she pleased outside of the kingdom.

Still, what did that mob want with Naberius and who wanted him out of the way? He was the Lord of the Incubi’s favorite it seemed until just an hour ago. Interesting…She did not run, but remained hidden in the shadows to watch the Incubus struggle against his enemies…

[Lord Azazel]

Naberius let out a fierce laugh as he watched the Succubus leave his presence. Oh How dumb they could be those creatures to fall for his plea for help because there was a bounty on his head. Oh how foolish that creature was but yet smart enough not to take the deal. No matter he still got rid of the succubus that is all that counted. Even if she took the deal he would make sure she was targeted as much as possible. Now that she was out of the way he made his way back to were the Queen was and walked into the room and quickly repeated the process he did with the prince and princess by slashing the queens neck before taking some of the blood from the wound and crossing out the name on his list. He walked out of the room and headed towards the room were the knocked out demon was. Once he arrived the demon looked at him and laughed himself.

“You sure know how to play a deadly game boss. Do you think the lesser creature will figure out that everything was just a act and that you really do not have a bounty on your head? “The demon asked. Naberius chuckled as he helped the demon to his feet and then walked back towards the window were he supposedly saw the other demons. He placed his hand at the window before removing it and turning to face his friend a smile on his face before speaking.“ Of course I know the name of the game. That is why it must seem that I am a wanted man. But more importantly we must start eliminating some of the succubus. Their kind has gotten stronger and now we need to purge some of them. “ He told his friend in a dark voice as he turned to face his friend“ Use the new breed of demons called hunters. Have them go after the succubus’s while I finish my master’s work. Start with low ranking ones and then move up to higher rankings. Make sure they die a painful death and blame it on another demon faction. That should be enough to start a underworld civil war.” He told his friend in a dark voice as he began to walk towards a staircase that would take him to the library were he hoped to learn about his next target on his list. His friend nodded his head and soon disappeared in a small portal. Now that everything was going according to plan. It was time to change the nature of the game.. Time to make old allies enemy's and former enemies allies. Once that happens all that his master worked for will be worth it. As then it would be time to claim the leadership of the underworld for the Incubus

[SirenNight]

Selene stopped in her trail. Something was wrong. The demon that attacked Naberius wasn’t eradicated. If she were attacked in such a way, she would make sure the demon was dead before waving it off like he dead. Her teeth clenched. She was fooled! Naberius was trying to get her out of the way. Well, she softened her features, thinking, at least he sees her as something of a threat. But what was he planning? This seemed bigger than she had imagined. She hissed and punched the wall of the castle, feeling weak and used. That Queen was dead because she was such a damn fool. Crumbling to her knees, she didn’t know what to do anymore. She wanted to stop them, but instead she made everyone worse. Perhaps, she should just lay down and submit to them after all…

Selene materialized once more and took to the Underworld, falling upon her own bed in shame. What was she to do? Try and stop Naberius?! He was too strong and too cunning, foiling her at every turn. She buried her head in the satin sheets. She had no allies, no friends she could turn to that would side with against her masters. They would call her mad and make living fool out of her…

As Selene was making up her mind to give up, she wasn’t truly alone. Many wanted Naberius out of the way. Namely the Incubus Selene had ensnared with her seduction. Gath was maddened with the images of her ever since she pulled information from him by taking him into her bed. He sighed and let his hands trace the bountiful bed where he had shared the raven-haired seductress. “You follow me in my dreams,” he whispered. “You bring me to the point where I can think of nothing else…” He was madly whispering to himself, but he cared not for who heard. “Though I know you do not desire me. You are too tightly bound to your own foolish cause…yet…” He had a plan. “If I give you the greatest desire, you will find your way back into my arms…I msut have you again!”

He set off in the underworld. He had to find Naberius. He had to destroy him. The Fates themselves could not stop him from ripping Naberius apart and through the blood of his brother shed, he could claim Selene as his own…

[Lord Azazel]

Naberius Sipped the fine Kings wine slowly before looking up just as his friend appeared before him. His friend smiled at him before getting a seat for himself and sitting down on it. Naberius continued to sip his wine as he read a book about a new type of demon before closing it and turning to face his friend. His friend sipped his own wine before speaking “Well friend everything you planned has been set up. Bounty posters have been placed and hunter demons have been sent out to kill Succubus. Now the real fun begins as the underworlds goes into revolt with faction vs faction “His friend said in a calm voice. Naberius smiled at his friend as he took in the news. Everything was going according to plan. Only thing that was left was to get rid of his master so that everything will fall into place. He sipped more of the wine before placing the glass on the table next to him and then standing up and walking towards the window. He looked outside of it seeing the peaceful night. But peace will not last long once war wages in the underworld and in the world.

“ The news makes me pleased. Now you have a task that needs to be completed. I have a list of the remaining 8 woman that need to be killed. I want you to kill them while I take care of my master and any Rivals. The next girl is a local noble woman who uses men for pleasure. I want her dead with her head hanging in the middle of the square in town. Once that is done come and finds me. Now leave “He told his friend in a dark voice. His friend nodded his head and left. Naberius turned to look at the glass of wine but thought better of it before he teleported himself to the underworld.

Once in the underworld he made his way to his masters House and opened the doors. He walked though the house and into the room where his master gave him his assignment. He closed the door behind him before looking at his master who was shocked to see him in the first place. His master was about to speak when Naberius put up his hand. “ Shut up fool. Your time is done and you will die by my hands. For years I studied under you and for years I have gotten stronger and now its time to replace you with myself. “ He told his master in a dark voice before leaping at his master ready to attack him with everything he got. His master looked at him in horror as Naberius made is leap towards him.

[SirenNight]

Why didn’t she just quit? It would have been so easy to turn away and let the women be killed…Selene thought about it and it still chilled her bones that men could get away with such sin and be regarded as heroes even, whilst women were repressed and executed. She would’ve stayed in her dwelling had not the incubus, Gath, stopped by and tell her of Naberius’ current mark. He wasn’t after the woman himself and instead, he sent another in his place to butcher the woman. She was so infuriated at how they were going to kill such a beautiful dove, she barely noticed Gath watching her intensely with the deepest passion in his eyes.

And moments later, she was back above earth, in the woman’s chambers. The woman was asleep for the night. Good, she was still okay. She growled and sat by her bedside, watching her sleep. And it didn’t take long for the real prize to show up. The presense of Naberius’ friend thickened the as the door creaked eerily open. She turned around, folding her arms.

“Good day…” She grunted, taking her claws out. He cried out in panic, asking in coherent swears just what the hell was she doing here?! “Oh, forgive me…but Naberius clearly is one who takes in thing visually as they come to him…” Her claws scraped the walls as she walked towards him. The Incubus friend shuddered and stepped back.

“Just…hold on…I..”

“I’m just going o have to make a message out of you aren’t I?!!!” Enraged, Selene slashed the demon’s neck with her claws, ripping his neck out instantly to keep the bastard from squealing.

And the next morning, instead of a woman’s head hung in the central square, Naberius would find the head of his friend… and the woman would still be safe in her little bed with Selene by her side.

[Lord Azazel]

Naberius drew is dagger mid launched and was about to deliver the killing blow to his master when a lesser incubus entered the room and looked in horror at what was about to happen. The lesser incubus knowing full well what was happening let out a scream so loud that it stopped Naberius and he dropped to the floor covering his ears. His master just accepted the noise and waited for it to end before smiling at the lesser incubus and motioning for the demon to come to him. The lesser incubus bowed before the master before speaking. “ I have some news my Lord. One of our agents was killed while doing the work of another. It seemed he picked his target wrong and was killed. We found his body in a public square. “ Naberius eyes opened with anger as he heard the news.. That was impossible who would kill his friend in such a matter and why. But he had no time to think about the answers. He got to his feet and walked out of his master’s room without a word being said. Once he left his masters room he teleported back to the surface world

He arrived at the noble woman’s house and entered it with the disguise as a guard. He walked around checking every room and killing those that tried to stop him from entering one. If he had to complete this task himself so be it. But he would be dammed if he allowed it to fail. He stopped by the kitchen to look for some glasses. He found them and after pouring the wine he dropped a little bit of poison in one of them before changing his appearance to that of a servant. He walked the long hallways until he reached the noblewomans room which then he turned into the Noblewoman son and knocked on the door softly. As he waited he thought about who could have killed his friend. He came up with a few names but none of those demons could of done it without some help. He then remember the succubus girl and wondered briefly If she killed his friend. Impossible that weak creature could not kill a fly let alone a demon. But it is possible.. He knew it that it was possible. He brushed away that thought and knocked on the door.

“ Mother I have bought some wine for you from father. He says he is very sorry for how he acted and would like for you to have the wine. So please open up and let me in. I also have a message for you “ He said in a calm concerning voice. Once he killed the noblewoman.. He could work on his next target.. A Princess from a rival kingdom who is coming to town to meet a prince. Oh how she was deadly wrong about that.
