‘This is so blissful…’
Lillian was basking in the afterglow of her first sex with Abaddon, her mind in such a deep state of relaxation and euphoria that she could not even dream.
As she slumbered, her consciousness was locked within an abyss of beautiful floating clouds.𝒪𝓋𝐥xt.𝗰𝔬𝔪
She felt so comfortable, she had no desire to ever wake up.
“It’s nice here, isn’t it?”
Lillian suddenly spun around to find the rest of her sisters floating in a circle, looking equally as peaceful and gorgeous.
“What is this place?” Lillian asked in wonder.
Lailah: “We’re not sure.”
Eris: “But this is a place all our own.”
Lisa: “We have theorized that since we are all bound together as one, this place is a shared space where we are free to rest and bask in euphoria.”
Audrina: “It is like our own little clubhouse.”
Lillian was somewhat amazed by the gravity of everything she had just been told, and she naturally had a great many questions.
“Do we come here very time that we are intimate with our husband?”
“Not sure, this is the first time.” Valerie admitted.
“Could husband ever come here? Or has he been here already?”
“He hasn’t but something tells me that he would not come here even if he could. ” Seras guessed.
“Why?”
As a response, the girls only shrugged as none of them really knew the answer.
But the truth was, Abaddon loved the close knit relationship that his wives had with each other.
A fear of his was that one day they would have some kind of falling out, and lose their beautiful friendship.
If he learned that they had a space all their own in which they could fellowship with each other and relax together, he would no doubt be overjoyed.
“What happened to us tonight? My mark from husband seems to have changed as well.” Audrina added.
The girls all took glances beneath their skirts and realized that the vampire was not the only one.
They all had similar yet eerily different tattoos on their flesh.
But strangely enough, they all felt more connected now than ever before.
Though what this meant and why, they weren’t completely sure.
Suddenly, Lillian felt a chill run down her spine, and felt as if her very soul was being tickled by some kind of fly.
‘That’s a bit annoying… go away.’
As she desired, the uncomfortable feeling soon passed and she promptly pushed it into the back of her mind, deeming it an experience of no real consequence.
–
When Abaddon awoke, sunlight was streaming into the curtains and falling down into his eyelids.
He was still resting on the floor right where Valerie had tackled him, still inside of Eris and with Valerie’s head resting in the crook of his neck.
Normally after waking up to such a blissful and dreamy scene he would have drawn the curtains closed and continued his rest, but things were a bit different now.
There were things he needed to do, plans that he needed to set in motion.
If before he had been desperate for growth, now he was desperate to establish something.
The insults inflicted by Samyaza had hardened the hearts of all of the Tathamets, and Abaddon was not an exception to this notion.
‘I’ll have to make a decision. We should be ready to move in about two weeks, one and a half if we really-‘
Poke.
Always the rough sleeper, Valerie had accidentally jabbed Abaddon in the eye with one of her horns, disturbing him from his thoughts.
‘Wait… what?’
Abaddon suddenly took a closer look at the women sleeping on the floor with him.
As he thought, Valerie now had a pair of little red horns curling out of her forehead, and she had a few bright red tattoos on her body that resembled Abaddon’s.
“A demon…?”
“Hm…?” Valerie’s eyes fluttered open and revealed themselves to be a bloodcurdling red.
“Yes you are, husband, you’re the big bad demon so give me five more minutes and then we can go again, okay…?”
Abaddon stared blankly at his obviously still dreaming wife and he wondered if he should directly teleport her to the bath to wake her up.
Suddenly, Eris began to stir and she revealed her own unique little changes.
Her hair had become much longer, and became a purer white that was luscious and soft to the touch.
A pair of thin and beautiful antlers now curled out from the sides of her head, and there was a small green gem seated between her golden eyes.
“I can go again if husband desires it…” She said sleepily. *Yawn* “Just don’t be too rough, okay?”
Almost on cue, Valerie and Eris laid eyes on each other, and all of their weariness was wiped away.
“Sister…”
“Eris, you…”
“”You look so pretty!!”
Both of the girls scrambled to hug each other in excited and giddy voices, inadvertently trampling all over their still confused husband.
As expected, their screaming woke up the rest of the girls, and another big surprise followed.
“Bitch who the fuck are you!? Why the hell are you in my bedroom?!”
“Because it’s mine too? Why are you acting slow and why do you look like that??”
“Audrina??”
“Duh, you fluffy idiot. And what happened to your hair?? Your eyes are really scary looking too.”
In all fairness, the reactions of both girls were completely justified.
For starters, Audrina no longer looked like some kind of sexy zombie.
She now had beautiful porcelain skin like that of fine china, with long pointed ears and a large pair of dark red horns on her head.
On the other hand, Bekka’s changes were not nearly as drastic, but her hair and ears had become a dark grey color while her eyes were a deep and soulless black.
“…”
“…”
“”You’re so cute!!””
Just like the pairing of Eris and Valerie, the two girls became giddy and excitable as they threw their arms around each other and rubbed their faces together.
Seras and Lisa looked at each other and realized that they did not have very large changes either.
Lisa’s eyes became yellow as if they were made from the purest lightening, and the horns of both girls now pointed forward instead of back, giving them a more demonic look.
“I would have liked a magical makeover as well…” Lisa said sadly.
“You are already plenty beautiful, sister. You didn’t need it.”
Seras kissed the distraught dragon on the lips and her mood seemed to show a small improvement.
Lillian and Lailah looked at each other carefully and realized that their bodies were not any different either.
The only change was that Lailah’s eyes had become golden, and she now emanated a dominating and regal aura.
Somehow, the girls seemingly had the same idea all at once and they all crawled on top of the bed and began inspecting each other carefully.
“Your boobs are bigger, let me feel!”
“Your eyes are so pretty!”
“Look at your little horns!”
While they were excitedly giggling and hugging each other, Abaddon remained sitting cross legged on the ground, too stunned to speak.
‘What the hell is going on…?’
Try as he might, he could not recall anything that might have happened to change his wives into demons.
But what’s more surprising was that they, like him, were also in possession of true names that closely resembled each other.
From Lailah to Lillian they were ;
A’tivik.
A’ghor.
A’zieb.
A’habbat.
A’nuht.
A’distat.
A’tanti.
‘…My head hurts.’ He thought exhaustedly.
In his mind he decided that it would be best if he consulted his father and Gabrielle about these changes.
The two of them were certainly the most knowledgeable people around him, and more often than not he found himself turning to them for guidance.
“Husband!”
Abaddon looked up to see all of his wives staring at him with expectant eyes.
“What do you think? Are we pleasing to your eyes as well?” Audrina asked warmly.
As Abaddon was still naked, his lower body answered before his mouth did.
‘…You know what? The meeting can wait.’
–
A few hours later, Abaddon was seated in the living room of his home, surrounded by his wives and his direct subordinates in addition to his oldest children.
After showering his women with much deserved adoration, Abaddon called for the rabisu trio, Lusamine, Kanami, and Kristina.
“I’ll need you all to start preparing our troops for a full scale war. They need to be ready to move within a maximum of two weeks. Anything longer is unacceptable.”
While the ancient rabisu did not seem bothered by this order and even seemed to delight in it, the others were admittedly surprised.
“We’re going to war against the humans already?” Lusamine asked as she rubbed her horns. “You should give yourself some time to-“
“No, not the humans. Business with them will have to be postponed until the end of this year.”
“Then.. who is our enemy, god?” Kanami asked respectfully.
Abaddon glanced at his children who were standing side by side, silently pleading for him not to name a particular continent.
“… Abeir, the land of the dwarves. This will be our first full scale war, so prepare our people well. I want our losses to be as few in number as possible.”
Needless to say, his declaration of a war agains the dwarves did catch them all of guard, but no one put up any kind of argument against him.
Not only because he was emperor, but because everyone else respected Abaddon too much to question his decisions.
In the end they all bowed and made a vow to carry out his orders as they prepared to leave.
“Apophis, Thea. The two of you stay behind.”
The siblings twitched and froze halfway out the door.
They took a seat on the couch opposite their father and mothers, clearly nervous as if they already knew what this would be about.
“My children, your time is limited.” Abaddon said.
His tone was equally stern and gentle, as he knew the dilemma that his children were wrestling with could not be an easy one.
But in the end, their feelings would not change what had to be done.
“We know father, but…”
“It is difficult. The more I grow to care about Claire, the more I fear that I will do irreversible damage to our relationship by telling her.”
Abaddon’s wives looked like they were on the verge of tearing up.
Their children were just so gentle and considerate of their loved ones!!
As their mothers they could not be any more proud!
Abaddon was also moved, but his children knew full well that they would have to do this at some point.
“The girls are supposed to be leaving in two weeks. The longer you wait to tell them, the worse off you will be.”
Abaddon suddenly stood up and stretched his body before making his way towards the door.
“I’ll be leaving in the morning to go and give King Darius notice of my decision. I would like for you to have told them by the time I return.”
Once Abaddon left the room, his wives immediately swarmed the children, desperate to offer some kind of condolences.
But no matter what they said, it was of little help to Thea and Apophis.
They cared about Jasmine and Claire genuinely, and the thought of their relationship being fragmented over something they had no control over was terrible.
While they knew Abaddon did not have impure intentions for the vermillion birds and was only doing this out of necessity, no one else in the world would believe it.
What kind of man just goes around conquering lands if he has no intention to touch them??
Even the idea of such a scenario was laughable.
‘My lovely Jasmine… please do not come to hate me.’ Thea pleaded silently.
Beside her, Apophis’ mind was completely blank, and he stared off into an empty space.
Within four days, they would have to put their relationships with the vermillion sisters to the ultimate test.
If they just so happened to fail, they were not sure if they would ever heal from the disappointment.
