Chapter 8.

Now, summoning Cole's mother Elizabeth was easy the hard part was actually trying to get her to remain in the same room as Phoebe! Phoebe although use to the very clear dislike her mother in law has for her finds it hurtful that Elizabeth won't even tolerate being in the same room as her. After explaining their situation to Elizabeth, Elizabeth with her son, his wife and children teleport down to a secret chamber in Underworld were coronations take place. Hex and the Grimoire were taken with them since they would need the two spellbooks to perform the ritual and the demonic baptism.

"Ah, I haven't been here since the twins baptism," Elizabeth commented.

"Well, we've busy mother," Cole replied. Cole hopes in his head that his mother can even be civil just for a few minutes.

"Nevermind I'm not surprised considering the heritage Phoebe was born into probably finds our customs sickening and not as important as her Wiccan customs," Elizabeth says. This comment hurts Phoebe. God Phoebe wanted to punch Elizabeth in the face but what kind of example does that set for her boys.

"Grams, can you at least be nice to my mom, she is your daughter in law and the Queen of the Underworld," Matthew spoke up. The brothers hated how cruel their grams could be to her own family/clan at times.

"Being nice isn't a demonic quality that we consider to be a great aspect of who a demon should be but since she is apart of our clan I suppose," Elizabeth Says.

"Okay, can we hurry up with the demonic baptism," Tobey said wanting desperately to hurry up with healing the First Fire.

"Patience is a virtue," Elizabeth told her eldest grandson.

"Patience is overrated," Tobey replied.

"Nevermind the demonic baptism needs to be done where is Cerberus,"? Elizabeth asked.

"Cerberus. As in the three-headed dog of the Underworld that guards the Underworld." Phoebe said.

"Yes, Mom but Cerberus is much more than its guardian, he's the essence of the Underworld and can only be harmed by his owners magic me, Tobey and little Matthew," Bane explained to Phoebe.

"I'm not little," Matthew mumbled. But he was just ignored mostly all he earned was his hair being ruffled by Tobey.

"If he is a guardian of the Underworld. Why hasn't he attacked me, my sisters, Leo in the past before I married Cole?" Phoebe questions.

"Cerberus guards only some of the most important parts of the Underworld. And unless he can sense you being a threat to the existence of the Underworld." Tobey spoke.

"Time to start the baptism," Elizabeth spoke up. Seconds later Cerberus teleports in blue flames. The giant black furred dog with three heads. And almost runs over to the boys excited to see them. The three boys embrace Cerberus each stroking the top of one of three dog heads.


Setting up for the Demonic Baptism took around an hour. After setting up Hex and the Grimoire on two book stands next to each other near a drawn-out pentagram. Matthew is standing in the centre of the pentagram. While Bane, Tobey, Phoebe and Cole with Elizabeth surround Matthew. Cerberus is standing behind the twins.

"Time to begins Tobey," Elizabeth said. Tobey holding a bowl of black feathers from a raven throws the feathers over Matthew. Bane then with the bowl he has throws the content of the bowl at Matthew. The content in Bane's bowl was crushed bones of fallen demons belonging to the Turner Clan. Elizabeth briefly turns to look at the open Hex and Grimoire before turning back to face Matthew.

"Feathers of the dead bones of our fallen we call on to thee. This demonic infant we ask you bless thee may our dark knowledge and power protect and nurture this demon our ancestors we beg thee." Elizabeth chants. Then all a sudden the bone dust and feathers merge into a dark mist and spirits of the fallen demons of the Turner clan rise from the Wasteland and enter Matthew's body for a moment leaving a mystic and invisible mark on Matthew before the spirits return to the Wasteland. The mist fades and before Matthew can leave the pentagram Cerberus runs over to Matthew and claws his left cheek as a symbol of protection and of Matthew's high ranking in the Underworld.

"Ow," Matthew whined for a moment his voice almost sounding younger than he is. Matthew leaves the pentagram and walks over to his family.

"So, now all we have to figure out how our powers heal the First Fire," Bane says.
