Prologue
"This better work", said the woman in the blood red cloak as she walked through the thick forest in the dead on night.
"You must have faith Miss Velvet", said her winged companion, "the blood moon will be at its closest point to earth soon. Then all will be fine".
"I hope your right", said Velvet solemnly. She looked up into the night sky. The red moons light illuminated her old yet beautiful face. She pulled her hood down and stared off into the distance.
"You succubae sure know how to plan a ritual" she commented as she finally saw their destination before her. A great wooden altar taller than the trees and wider than most buildings stood in a clearing surrounded by tall obsidian stones just shorter than the altar. A set of stone stairs led from the ground to the very centre of the altar where a set of 4 torches burned in a square.
"Of course, the succubae were given this holy duty by the creator herself" said the demon licking her fangs in anticipation. Velvet raised an eyebrow with curiosity as to how a ritual this demonic could be considered holy by anyone.
As they reached the clearing Velvet saw the obsidian stones she assumed to be smooth were in fact covered with a plethora of engravings and symbols carved to extraordinary detail.
"You took your time", said an obviously peeved voice from the top of the altar's stone steps.
"Why sis you haven't changed a bit", Velvet said knowing Rose hated being addressed that way. "I'm sorry were late, we'll just have to skip the tea and biscuits and catch up some other time".
Rose smirked as she descended the steps. Her elaborate robes flowing as she went. She stared at the pair at the bottom of the stairs. Her sister's companion stood barefoot on the grass in her black and red corset.
Rose could see why Velvet loved succubae with their flawless skin of any colour and measurements that would make anyone's fantasy a reality. Rose had never been tempted to "enjoy" one as her sister put it. Velvet however….
"Enough!" Rose thought internally. Bringing herself back to the matter at hand.
"Go get the others", she ordered the succubus. The succubus for her part did not even hesitate to follow the order walking off at a brisk pace round the corner of the altar.
There was a pregnant silence as the now alone sisters stared at each other.
Velvet went a fraction of a second first hugging her sister and holding her close.
"I hope this works", Velvet whispered.
"It will", replied Rose her determination as strong as ever, "and there is no need for you to worry. I'll be doing most of the work".
"Today, but from then on its pure madness for me".
They heard the rustle of the rest of their party and quickly seperated.
4 women and a minion came round the corner. The group was odd to say the least.
The minion was called gnarl. The ancient minion looked exhausted. His hunch was even more pronounced and his trademark shuffling was even slower than normal.
But it was the women of the group that made it particularly odd. One was a succubus of pale skin and sharp fangs. Another was a fairy queen that projected evil with the grace of a monarch. The humans of the group were the most "normal". With one being a red haired huntress and the other tied up and gagged.
They tossed the tied woman to the ground at the bottom of the stairs with a thud and a squeal from their captive.
"Shut up Juno", said the huntress kicking the damsel as they all gathered round the captive.
"If you're quite done Kelda", said the evil fairy venomously, "there is the small matter of saving the world".
"Precisely Miss Fey", gnarl said as he hobbled up the stone steps to the eye line of the group.
"As you are all no doubt aware after the fall of your respective lover, son and nephew the creator in all her hormonal brilliance…" he paused realising he was surrounded by woman all of whom would take great delight in hurting him, "ahem… To cut a long story short - the world has been reshaped into one great continent, the minions have scattered and a new empire has risen from the south. This altar now stands at the centre of the new world. And from here we shall bring about a new age of the overlord." There was an awkward silence as gnarl was expecting shocked gasps.
"We are all well aware of that gnarl" Rose said, her frustration clearer and clearer, "tell them what they are all doing and what will happen afterwards. And be quick".
Gnarl, annoyed he couldn't be as dramatic as he wanted, continued, "Miss Juno you are going to be up on top of the stone square on the altar along with Miss Fey, Velvet, Kelda and Rose. From there please follow Miss Rose's instructions. Miss Harriet," he said pointing a withered hand to the succubus, "if you could summon your coven to fly around the altar at speed while projecting your power onto it and chanting the sacred words." The succubus walked a few steps off the clearing and then flew off.
"Up on the altar you will each have your part to play. Which I'm afraid for you miss Juno means dying," Gnarl taunted as tears rolled down Juno's face.
"Don't cry Juno," Kelda said, "it's the most selfless thing you've ever done".
"Returning to the matter at hand. Once it is complete a lot will change. The few minions I remain control of have gone into hibernation and will return once we know it has been successful. Which I'm afraid may be 20 years from now. However it's the other minion's I'm worried about. The tower heart has since lost most of its power and so have the minions lost most of their energy. The brown hive is the only one in our possession and as you will soon see it is at the base of the altar. The rest I'm afraid I do not know as they were taken away in a panic when the heart lost power. However once this is complete they will mutate and change. As too will the minions. The only ones who will remain are the ones I have put into hibernation and me of course. So all minions even the browns that disserted, will be changed beyond all recognition".
As they each wondered what that could be they heard the flapping of hundreds of wings as the succubae arrived.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!" Rose ordered in a manner that would make a giant shrink. They all stopped in near unison.
"Shall we begin? Velvet, I assume you wore something suitable". Everyone stared at Velvet expectantly.
"Oh yes sis. I think you'll enjoy this", she took off her cloak and let it drop to the ground revealing her not-bad-for-creator-knows-how-old-she-is body in a loose fitting toga of the same style as Juno used to wear. "I thought, hell, she's not going to where it".
They all sniggered at that. They had all spent too long with the overlord for any pity or mercy to be shown now.
They walked up the stairs too focused to be nervous. At the top there were markings etched into the stone surrounding a raised stone slab and as Velvet looked around she noticed there were markings all over the clearing.
"So that's why they didn't fly closer" Velvet thought as the others chained Juno to the slab facing up.
Rose guided each to their positions as each held one of the 4 torches. Kelda stood to Juno's right, Velvet her left, Fey stood at her head and Rose at her feet. Rose nodded and the woman set the wood around them ablaze. The fire spread quickly and for a brief moment the markings on the stone and the clearing burned and marked the ground.
Having seen this gnarl signalled the succubae and they took off circling the clearing the colours of their skin creating a mesmerising pattern. And all gnarl could do was hope.
As Juno struggled with her chains Fey took the liberty of taking off her gag.
"PLEASE STOP. DON'T DO THIS," The formerly silent woman begged and sobbed.
"Hush now", Rose said gathering her focus, "there is nothing you can do or anything anyone is willing to do to help you. You might as well enjoy the show."
The fire spread to the very corners of the wooden altar and on each corner lay banners of each minion type. As the fire licked at them the banners pointed, as if by some ungodly wind, towards the centre.
They could hear the chanted of the flying succubae, "DARK IS DARK, LIGHT IS LIGHT, EVIL FINDS AWAY!"
Rose raised her staff above Juno's crying body. "THE LIGHT IS POISONED, THE DARK IS DEAD," the remaining standing women repeated after her almost in a trance, "GOOD IS CORUPT, THE EVIL GONE…..WE BRING HOPE, WE BRING HELL…..FOR THE JUST AND THE CRUEL WE SHALL BRING PAIN…..2 OVERLORDS SHALL BECOME 1….. AND A NEW PRIMARCH OF DARKNESS SHALL BE BORN…..THIS NEW DARKNESS SHALL CLEANSE THE LIGHT…..WITH THE ESSENCE OF THE OVERLORDS THERE SHALL BE A NEW AGE OF DARKNESS!"
The markings came in. Slowly at first then faster and faster till they covered Juno's writhing screaming body. The women on the altar were no strangers to screams of pain and pleasure and knew that those lines blurred, but none could describe Juno's.
Rose and Fey's eyes locked and their magic spread over Juno's soon to be corpse. Then they saw it. Juno's eyes glowed. The magic wielders directed their magic towards Juno, Velvet kneeled by Juno's side making eye contact with the hypnotic glow of her eyes, Kelda pointed Juno's head towards Velvet, then slit Juno's throat.
A moment of relative calm came over the proceedings. For the first time since it began Rose felt nervous, Juno felt nothing and Velvet was happy.
"It's working!" Velvet cried, "everyone get back down." They made it halfway down the steps before a team of succubae grabbed them. Only Rose looked back and all she could see was Velvet standing on top of Juno's lifeless corpse laughing manically.
The fire burned out of control. All of the succubae reteated to the nearest mountain, which for many was far too close. The obsidian glowed and the fire slowly burned out.
Upon returning they saw Velvet atop the stairs cloaked in her toga. Even from a distance they could see she was different. They stood at the bottom of the stairs among the ash that covered the clearing.
Down the stairs came a beautiful young woman. Velvet walked down with the grace of an empress and from the feeling of magic wielders the power of one.
"Your expressions say it all," she said with a voice like honey, "I appear to have gained my youth as well as Juno's best features. And let's not forget this," she said pointing to a slightly pronounced baby bump.
A sigh of relief came from the women at the bottom of the stairs. Rose quickly regained her focus.
"This works out even better than I expected," with your new youth and some of Juno's looks you can pass as her sister and take her house and money in the empire's capital. Destroy it from within."
"Brilliant," Velvet said, "now Harriet if you could escort me to Juno's late house. I have a Special way of thanking you."
