Vrexen and The Seven Sins
72
"A pleasure… Yes." Vrexen replied softly as the transmission ended. Vrexen stared at the device the holograms had appeared from for a moment. To communicate in such a way was different for the demon not native to this world.
"As our king and queen requested! Summon the Dread Order! The advisor ordered the soldiers stationed within the room. The heavy clanking of boots followed.
It was a sight to see how quickly the soldiers snapped into action, but Vrexen was much more concerned with Myra's gentle touch on his tail.
Still unseen. No matter. Vrexen thought as he eyed his tail that started to slowly snake back and forth behind him. He bared his teeth in anticipation. He had done what Lilith had tasked him to do and these creatures would aid in the arrival of more of his brethren to this world.
"Brethren… yes, they will be here quite soon. I wonder who or how many. They will come to this world to aid in conquest." Vrexen said aloud, but more so to inform Myra, who he considered his young sister.
In short time, the Dread Order arrived. Seven cloaked figures in black and red robes appeared, escorting them to a large open room. One of the figures spoke up to the group.
“We shall begin now.” The seven figures began raising their hands in the air chanting in an incomprehensible language. The opening of a rift using the powers of dark magic had already been considered dangerous and required dark elves of high magical prowess. The Dread Order were deemed the most powerful practitioners of dark magic on Daka, only falling second to their queen, Amarantha. They were possibly the only ones that could be trusted to successfully open abyssal rifts without being completely overpowered by whatever monstrosity climbed out.
A few moments is all it took before seven dark abyssal rifts formed.
"Yes… Brethren. They're coming!" Vrexen's teeth clenched in his excitement.
The first to arrive was a demon that was slick black in color with wings sprouting from his back and two tails, dawning four horns on his head. This was Pride.
The second to arrive was the demon, Lust, a humanoid-looking demon with perfect porcelain skin and long flowing red hair. She was completely naked and had almost an ethereal look to her.
The third demon to appear from the rifts was known as Envy. They appeared as a pale skinny demon with six arms and many eyes sprouting from their body with a pair of wings.
The fourth demon was Gluttony who emerged from the abyss. This demon was much larger than the previous arrivals, having three large mouths filled with rows of teeth, horns sprouting from his head, and long claws for hands. His skin had a sickening grey color to it and it would take one a moment to locate his eyes.
The fifth Demon stepped forth. Greed. He was covered in gold and other precious gems and metals. He was the smallest of the demons with a crown of horns with long orange hair and torn wings.
The sixth demon, Sloth, was the largest; he was slow to arrive but had to tear the rift open some to fit his body. The sight of this demon was extremely chilling with skin a putrid green color, six spiked crab-like legs, and spikes protruding from everywhere. What may have been the most terrifying part, however, was the large open maw in the center of his stomach. There were teeth everywhere in this thing, but to make things worse were the three tentacle-like protrusions from the center. At the end of these tentacles were womanly figures with fangs and claws.
The final demon to come from the rifts was Wrath. She appeared as a wispy shadowy figure; she had no face but seven eyes looked upon the room. Wrath had two normal-sized arms but one very large clawed arm coming from her right shoulder and another smaller arm on her left shoulder.
Once all of them came through the chanting stopped and the rifts closed.
"Welcome to-""Sister…?" The demon interjected before there was a brief silence within the room.
"No! Nooooooo! RAaaaAAAAAAaaaaaah! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! WHY HAVE YOU CURSED ME, MOTHER?! WHA-"
"Vrrrrexenn!" Wrath spoke sharply. Just speaking his name caused the red-faced demon to quit his mad shouting and twitch with anxiety as he looked at the seven powerful demons before him.
"Much better. I thought I would have to decorate this room with your innards… I could do it anyway… My that would be a show to put on with the arrival of the Seven Sins of Lilith." A low snicker escaped the monstrosity before a few of the other sins joined with their own snickering.
“Ehem! Welcome greater demons, I will tell you why you are here before us. We want you to seek and hunt our enemies who seek to stop us, in turn, we will help your kind build a new home in Avalia as well as find a more suitable place ourselves.” The advisor said to the seven new demons in the room. Every one of them had their attention towards the advisor, taking in the image of the first dark elf they'd seen in the flesh. Pride stepped forth, towering over the dark elf.
“I, Pride, the greatest of the sins shall purge your enemies, none shall escape. Nobody is greater than I! To prove it so, and it shall be proven, we will spread ourselves across this new realm! As mother wills us.”"yes this is... Good! That means no sharing with any of you derelicts! Sounds profitable to me." The crown-horned fiend snickered just thinking about the prospects of pillaging this new world.
"Agreed! I can devour all I want and more, alone!" Gluttony piped up with excitement. The other four remained quiet as they schemed in silence.
”These are the current targets.” The advisor said as he showed images of the light elven princesses.
“We will update you with more information and other targets as we collect information.” He then put the pictures in his coat.
“Take these as well, this is how we will contact each other from now on. I wish you luck.“ The advisor finished giving them all a transmission bracelet.
The sins were escorted out of Malthemoor shortly after, receiving any additional information they might need before they began their hunt.
Within the chamber, Vrexen's twitching ceased. His body was still for just a moment before he trembled with rage.
"MOTHER! MOTHERRRRRR!" He screamed, causing the dark elves in the room to ready their weapons. They found the demon to be out of his wits as he panted aggressively.
"I will be better. Vrexen does not need sin to commit violence! Vrexen… Vrexen is violence!" “There will be much more violence on your path ahead, just avoid doing anything here.” The advisor spoke calmly, giving a smirk to Vrexen.
