Previously: We leant about the High Princess of the Moon, Serenity, and her life… she wakes up in a dungeon with her mother, and she gives her daughter something. Inside is the location to man. But more importantly, we learn of Serena Tsukino. Serenity's earth identity. We also meet character; Luna (the moon spirit that inhabits a stuffed cat doll), Seiya (some one to Serena), Yaten (Serena's secretary) and Mr. Tutsunagi (Serena's boss; who is also a Troian).

"So, do you want the good news or the bad news first?" Seiya posed the first question.
"Am I going to like either of them?" Serena gave a weary glance towards him.
Seiya simply shook his head, "nope. You ain't gunna like either of them."
"Fine, tell me the good news first," serenity spoke as she flicked through the menu.
"Well," Seiya started as he too picked up his menu. "The Wann case in an absolute waste of time! Therefore all that time spent of trying to figure it all out, was in vein. And that pay packet… there's none. So now there is no need to worry about the financial mess it is in."
Serena looked up from her menu, "what do you mean?" she asked confused, "I thought this case was like…major… like something important was to it?"
"Well, yeah, that's what I thought too," he looked around, "but there is absolutely nothing. And best of all, the company sold off to some business. So they can deal with the financial mess," he finished as he moved away from Serena.
"Sold to whom?" Serena inquired. Okay, sure, knowing the business was a floozy after hearing it had something major about it was utterly annoying, but knowing that it sold… a business that was practically worthless, sold? Who would be stupid enough?
"Dunno, some big businessman. Don't know what they would want with a small electrical company… but hey, what ever turns 'em on," he laughed.
Serena was about to laugh, but something clicked, "small electrical company? Do you know who brought it and when it was sold?" Serena asked more urgently.
"Well it sold recently. As far as I know, your firm should be sending over all documents to the new owner. Why do you ask?" He had a brow raised as he inquired into Serena's interest in the case.
"Because I am the one signing over all documentation," she finished looking at him. "I got the case this morning. Apparently it is real urgent!"
"Look, Sere. I know it's your job and all, but don't do it! This businessman… I've heard he gets what he wants and he's a total brute! Say no to the job," Seiya tried to convince her.
"Yeah… I had no idea this was the same case…" her voice faded as she thought more about the case. 'Why would it be so urgent? Such a small company? Why would anyone want to buy it?' she thought.
"What do you mean?"
"My Boss wants me to sign over all documentation as soon as possible to this new owner… so I want to know what's up! But as you say, why would some big businessman buy a small company? I'm sure you missed something. There is something about that company. Why else would they want it…? But I don't know what it could possibly be!" Serena stressed as she thought over the situation.
"Look, I'll do more research. Can you delay your business trip?"
"No I can't. But don't worry; Yaten is doing research into the case as well. I gave it to him this morning."
"Then come over tonight after work. I have loads more research on the base computer," Seiya suggested.
"Yep… but I want to know who the buyer is! Some big business man isn't going to cut it!" Serena wanted to scream out in stress and throw her fists around, but since she was in a public place she controlled herself.
"Well… I dunno if you still want it… but do you want the rest of the news?" Seiya asked cautiously.
Serena just looked at him. Taking a death breath she answered, "Sure. What could possibly be worst?"
Seiya just looked at her.
Serena sighed, "Just tell me."
"Well the results came back from those swabs you brought back from that last fight a couple of weeks ago… and you aren't gunna like it one bit," Seiya went quiet after a moment.
"Tell me Seiya, or I will get angry!" Serena tried to stay calm.
"Well, there were definitely two types of demons there. Dryads and Bogies, maybe even Doppelganger's." Seiya was looking Serena straight in her eyes; every word serious as ever as he spoke them.
Serena just looked at him, "correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Dryads little nature spirits that preside over the forest? And Bogies… by nature, they are harmless ghosts… so why would they be attacking anyone?"
"Yeah…that's what I thought," Seiya gave her a weird look. "I thought that too… but there were remnants of soil that I am yet to locate… and the bogies have unique salvia that was left at the scene… so there is no mistaking."
"Do you have a theory?" Serena raised a brow.
"Astrate!" Seiya shrugged. "I mean the real, true Astrate," he gave Serena a hard look to emphasize his point. "I have been asking around, and it is said that she went missing a few years back. And that coincides with all these spirits and ghosts acting differently."
"So… Astrate huh… you think she's doing this for some sort of revenge… or someone is forcing her to use her powers over the Spirits of the dead?"
Seiya looked at Serena, "I don't know. Not many people know much… like their afraid… I have a bad feeling," he looked her right in the eyes and leaned closer, "I think this has something to do with you know who… the same person from all those years ago," he said in a low voice.
Serena just looked at him. She didn't know what to think… she wasn't even breathing. Just hearing him say it could be the same person from all those years ago made her scared. "Is it possible?" Serena whispered; her voice was broken.
Seiya nodded, "As I asked around, people kept saying that it was all the work of a woman… one of Satan's wives," he whispered back to Serena.
She just sat there; her eyes widening with fear. 'What… this can't be the same woman…' Serena thought as her mind tried to block out all those ugly scenes from so long ago.
"People are saying that all those years ago when she made a mess of our world, she was looking for something. And now they're all saying she is continuing after so long… like whatever she is looking for had made an appearance. That an opportunity for her to get it has arisen."
Serena swallowed hard, "but how?" she started to shake in her seat, "who… what else have you heard?" her voice was barely audible. If it wasn't for Seiya's super hearing, he would never have picked it up.
"I don't think we should discuss this here… you know, so publicly… come to the house after work," Seiya nodded as he continued to stared at Serena, "it'll be fine, she wont be able to find you alright. My brothers and I are here to protect you; nothing is going to hurt you!"
Serena just stared at him, "I think I have lost my appetite."
"That's fine, how about we go and get some ice-cream?" he suggested.
Serena just nodded and followed Seiya out of the restaurant.
"Excuse me," the waitress started, "Is it inadequate here?"
"No," Seiya turned to the waitress, "my friend here has lost her appetite."
The waitress nodded and let them continue on their way. Seiya had Serena in his arms as they walked. Serena on the other hand was too focused on trying to stop herself from shaking.
"Do your brothers know about this yet?" she managed to ask.
"No, they don't… I wanted to tell you first."
"Thank-you," Serena replied.
They continued on their walk to the small ice-cream stand that was in the local park and took a seat on one of the benches. There wasn't much talk, but Seiya could tell that Serena was really shook up.
"Hey don't worry so much. You're safe here… there are too many people here to narrow it down to you. Just make sure you keep your identity and power hidden… you'll be safe."
"Thanks Seiya," Serena nodded as she finished her ice-cream.
"It's fine… besides, we better be getting back to work. I'll see you tonight at the house, okay."
"Yep," she smiled as they parted their own ways.

"Oh good, Serena" Yaten spoke as he saw Serena coming out of the elevator, "just after you left for lunch, a man rung up. It was about the file you gave me, at first I didn't know what he was talking about, but after a few names and reading the file, OH MY GOODNESS! You wont believe it." He spoke fast as he followed Serena into her office.
"And?" Serena asked softly as she closed the door behind them.
"And?" Yaten nearly laughed, "That big businessman who brought that small company, his name is Darien Shields! No one knows much about him, but he only invests in things that are worth while. I took some time and read the file… the business was a floozy! There's nothing to gain by buying it… but the man that rung up was on Mr. Shields behalf, and was asking what reservations you have made for your trip. I said I have made none for you since it was like a two hour drive; therefore you wouldn't be staying over night. But then and all of sudden he said that he will send a flight ticket for you to catch a plain, plus all accommodation is taken care of. You will meet your driver, whatever, at the airport."
Serena just froze and looked at him… 'Where have I heard that name before?' she thought as she looked at Yaten, "and what are those reservations for accommodation? Where exactly am I going?"
Serena noticed Yaten swallow hard, "Mr. Shields wishes for you to stay at one of his many hotels. But the top floor will be all yours… and everything will be charged to him. Completely professional. But he said nothing about the location… he wanted an answer first. "
"Hmm…" she took a seat at her desk, "what do you think?"
"Well, I dunno… I'm not sure if he knows you… so if not, why go to all this trouble? If he doesn't know you then obviously there's nothing to be worried about… but I dunno…" Yaten couldn't really think of anything eligible to say. The whole thing was bizarre.
"Yes, your right… when did they want an answer?"
"They said they would ring later, when you got in."
"Fine," Serena thought for a moment, "I shall agree to his offer, only if I am allowed someone to come with me… Taiki… my personal assistant?"
Yaten looked at her, "alright, I'll tell them when they ring."
"Alright, oh and also, tell them I demand to know where I am going, or they can come here for the signing! Also, could you give me that file?" Serena asked before Yaten left her office.
Yaten nodded as he left the office and returned shortly after with the file in hand. "You can look over it as much as you like… but I couldn't find anything… there's no reason why someone of his statue would buy that company."
"Can you also send me what ever info you have on this Darien Shields?"
"Yep, already done," he said as he ran out of her office.
Serena sat at her desk looking over the folders, 'what is it that is so familiar with Darien Shields? That name… why would you buy such a company?'
After a moment, she picked up her phone and dialled her 1st speed dial number.
After the third ring it picked up, "hello, Mr. Tutsunagi?"
"Speaking," a deep smooth voice replied.
"What is the reason for changing the signing location for that small electrical company?" she asked in a clam voice.
"Hmm… yes," there was a small laugh, "Serena, trust you to be the first on my tail. But a man rung me a while ago and told me that his employer was stuck in another city and would not be able to get back in time. So he asked if you would be able to meet him there. This way you can sign the company over as soon as possible and they wouldn't have to wait longer."
"Fine! Did they give you a location?"
"Hmm… come to think of it, no. they just said they would take care of all flight tickets and accommodations."
"Okay, thank-you sir."
"Anything to make a customer happy," he replied as he hung up.
Serena almost through the phone down. She hated travelling away from somewhere safe. But her job required her to travel, so it was only natural.
The rest of the day she continued to look over the folder and information on Darien Shields… but it all resulted in a failure to learn anything. It was like the man didn't exist. But she was sure she had heard the name somewhere…
+-+-+-+-+- 0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0 -+-+-+-+-+
'6:30pm, grr,' Serena thought to her self as she looked at her clock. She had been so focused on trying to find something about this Darien Shields she didn't even notice the time. "Time to go," she said out loud as she closed off the program and turned off her laptop. She then put it in her specially made laptop hand bag and left her office. All the way to the elevator she felt disconnected; like someone was watching her… trying to get inside her mind… but it was a different feeling altogether. She's had people watch her, and had people trying to penetrate her mind… but this was different… like… she couldn't explain it. She just knew, that somewhere, someone was trying to locate her, and she had a very funny feeling she knew who that some one was.
Due to her feeling, she decided to take the stairs instead of the elevator. Some people called her crazy, or even weird for her method of thinking, but she trusted her instincts. And right now her instincts were telling her to stay alert and beware. She hadn't felt like this for awhile, but she knew that no matter how far she ran, she would never outrun the evil that lurked behind her; wanting her.
When she was in the basement she went straight her car and started it. She didn't leave straight away, but she sat there for a moment. She didn't exactly know why herself, but she knew she had to stay there for a moment before she left.
When her stomach finally felt at ease, she put her car in first gear and left the park. Once on the freeway her stomach started to jab of pain as it twisted itself around. She had an urge to speed things up, and that's exactly what she did. She put the paddle to the metal and didn't look back as she left the city. Once she was out side heading way out of town the feeling of uneasiness started to settle down; but there was still that twisting, knotting feeling that lurked in her gut. Keep her speed; she sped towards the outskirts coast to the forest where Seiya had told her to meet him; at the house.
The location was great because it was way out of town, and it was close to the coast. The house itself was more like a large cottage like house. All made out of timber and pure hard labour. It had the little green shutters and the wooden veranda all around it.
As Serena pulled into the driveway, she couldn't help but reminisce about the old days; the days when she first came to the house, and when she used to live there. Even though it was so many years ago, it felt like yesterday for Serena.
When the car came to a stop, she felt her stomach loosen, but there was still that knotting sensation here and there. Getting out of the car she paused and stared at the house. All along the drive way and around the house there was a shiny green luminesce light. For eyes that were gifted with sight of spell were able to see everything; but for those who were not gifted with sight of spell, all they saw was a forest. No house, no driveway… no nothing.
As she took a step forwards, her car was then consumed by the light. It was sad that they had to take such drastic measures like that to hide away their location; but it was the only way to stay safe. Even though she did not live there anymore, it still had to remain hidden since she had once lived there when the time for hiding was at its most importance. And since they, whoever were looking for her, did not find the cottage hidden amongst the forest, they kept it hidden and made it serve as a safe house whenever it was needed again.
"Sere, you're here, quickly now, in the house," Yaten said as he opened the door before she could knock.
"Yes, I'm coming," she replied as she picked up her speed and walked inside.
"Serena," Yaten stopped her as he closed the door, "Seiya told us." He spoke in a low voice. But it was enough to send a small shudder down her spine.
"Where are they?" she replied, trying to ignore the shudder.
"They're in the rumpus room," he said walking past her. She didn't need to follow to know where to go, but since they were heading the same way, she followed.
"Serena," Seiya nodded his head in acknowledgment as he looked back at the TV.
The rumpus room was much like a lounge room and dinning room smooched together. All the rooms in the house were white with a chosen window wall that was painted coffee. From the doorway, Serena could see Seiya seating at the head of the table facing the TV that was in front of him.
'And it was still only recently that this has happened. No one can say for sure why these attacks are happening, or why they are so frequent, but one this is for sure; once we get to the bottom of it, you will surely know. This it Kelly Re from WWH; till next time.'
With that Seiya turned off the TV and faced back towards Serena. Yaten had taken a seat across from his brother on his left and sat in silence.
"SERENITY!!" another voice broke through the silence.
"Taiki," Serena turned to the doorway to see the mysterious man standing there holding a silver tray. She was smiling, "it has been too long my friend." He had long chocolate coloured hair that was slicked back in a low pony tail and light blue, almost grey eyes. He was wearing a sugar yellow suit with white shoes, and deep marine blue shirt and light blue tie.
"Yes, yes," he put the tray down of the table and hugged her. "Oh, its so good to see you Serenity!" he kept her in his grasp for a few more moments then let her go, "care for some fresh made tea?" he motioned towards the tray he put down.
Serena just smiled at him, "yeah, for sure." She then took seat directly in front of Yaten on Seiya's right.
"Tea?" Taiki looked at the others.
"No," Yaten and Seiya said at the same time.
When Taiki finished pouring Serena and himself tea, he took a seat next to Serena and waited for something to happen.
"Well?" Serena looked around the table, "who wants to start?"
Serena noticed the way Yaten looked at his brother and Seiya nodded, "You know how that guy rung up about offering you accommodations for your business trip that is now taking place somewhere else?" Yaten started.
"Yeah, did he ring back?" Serena inquired. She was confused by the way he looked at Seiya, but she blew it off.
"Yeah," Yaten looked back at Seiya, "The plan has changed altogether." He looked back at Serena.
"What do you mean?" Serena inquired. She felt Taiki shift uneasily next to her and Seiya let a breath out, "guys?"
"Well you are to leave tomorrow night to get there Thursday morning. Since the city is far away, you will be required to stay there about a week. I told him that you demanded to know where the location was, and that you wanted company. He said that is fine for Taiki, but all he said was that they were stuck in Saint Laurance's; just outside the capital."
"Well that should be fine then. But what are you all keeping from me?" Serena looked at them all. They were all keeping something secret… obviously big if they were all keeping it.
"Look, don't worry Sere," Seiya took his eyes off Yaten to Serena, "We will protect no matter what."
"Protect me from what? This is just a business trip! Isn't it?" she looked at them all.
"Yes, but the city you are going to, and since you will be staying for maybe a week… anything could happen," Yaten replied to ease her somewhat.
"Maybe a week?" she lifted her brow to confirm her confusion.
"Well, you will arrive there Thursday morning, sign a few papers and send them away. But you have to wait there for confirmation just in case the files don't send. Therefore you will have to resign. It will take three business days… which means next week Wednesday the results and confirmation should come. If it's a goer, then we can leave," Yaten explained. "Therefore we will be staying at one of Mr. Shields top floor penthouses for the week. Since he is stuck ion the town too, he will be staying there as well."
Serena just looked at him, "and what's so dangerous about that?" she was utterly confused. "And what's this about 'us'? I thought I was taking Taiki?"
"Well, due to certain circumstances, we will all be coming with you," Seiya lifted his head to meet her eyes, "And as your bloodwarriors, we cannot let you go into enemy territory with out us! It's just too dangerous!"
Serena let a small nervous laugh out, "what do you mean enemy territory? Guys? What's going on?" her voice was breaking and she kept looking at them all, trying to get some sort of answer out of them.
Taiki put a hand on her shoulder and sent a small warm electrical volt through her to calm her, "After Seiya and Yaten told me about the case you were told to do, and how it was all one big mess, I did my own research after I heard who the person was who brought it."
"Sorry Sere," Seiya said, "I had to tell them everything."
Serena diverted her eyes between them, "and what did you come up with?"
"When you got here, you heard the last of the news," Yaten spoke, "more and more attacks are happening. No one can explain why the dryads and Bogies are behaving this way, but it's become a common sighting now. And although it said that no one knows who it is, they just won't speak up since it's… someone we thought we would never hear from again."
"And right now, the last sighting was in Saint Laurance's. Normally there is a few, then it skips town. But the sighting there was recent, so you will be in the middle of it," Taiki finished, still holding his hand to her shoulder to calm he down.
"This is why we are going with you. You and Taiki will be staying at the hotel penthouse, while myself and Yaten keep watch from somewhere around," Seiya explained the plan.
"Okay, and what of everything else?" she asked them; her voice squeaky and scared.
"Well," they all said at once.
"You act totally normal, like everything is fine dandy, while we look after you. If you are confronted by any dryads or Bogies, and you can't fight, just act scared. Don't fight. As your bloodwarriors we will look after you!" Seiya spoke slowly as he kept his eyes down and focused on the table.
"That means you too Taiki. You have to act normal as well," Yaten quickly added.
Taiki merely nodded.
There was an uneasy silence. There were many more things to be discussed as there were many more secrets… but one thing lingered in Serena's mind. "What if this IS Agrat-bat-mahlaht?" Serena spoke in a whisper. "What if she knows about my identity? What if she has caught on? What if this is an ambush?" she wanted to sop, but it was all she count think of. This demoness has been worst then her worst nightmare. A nightmare she could never shake off. There was always something that made her remember of the evil demoness.
"Yes, it is true that there are rumours going around saying that these attacks are done by one of Satan's wives," Seiya started, "but no one knows for sure, nor which one of his many wives."
"Simply, it could be someone else," Taiki sent one last volt into her to calm her down as he got up from his seat. "Now, about this Darien Shields," he started to walk, motioning them to follow. "I did some research, and it is good that we have all agreed to come. This man is very mysterious. At first I thought he didn't exist. But I struck gold when I started to look into some of his other investments."
He had taken them down a hall, and turned left down another until they were at the far end of the house. The floor in the room was glazed timber. In the corner were two book cases and two white leather double seated couches. At the other further side of the room was a white desk that had a laptop sitting atop it. Taiki took a seat in front of the laptop and pressed a few buttons.
"Now, before I continue," he looked at Serena, "I need to know, what do you know about Darien Shields?"
Serena just looked at him, "I don't think I know him at all; but I have this feeling I do know the name somewhere."
"As I thought," he then brought up a file. "Darien Shields, at first I didn't know what exactly I was looking for, but as I looked through all of his business history, I realised that there is a connection. Every case that you have signed over that has something to do with governmental stuff; like that requires names and numbers of customers. He has had some sort of role in. Like the water companies, electrical companies, telephone companies, real estate; any company that holds mass storage of every single person. I don't know why, but I think he is looking for someone in particular. Already he basically owns half the world; either the whole business or just shares. But he is someone to be feared. A very powerful man."
"Well he doesn't seem to be that much of a threat to me," she said. Looking at the other two for support, but they all focused on Taiki.
"No, not if you think of him that way; professional. But his argh…"
"Extra curriculum activities?" Yaten suggested.
"Yeah," Taiki nodded his head, "He is a very notorious man to be very cunning and conniving and he always gets what he wants. But more to the point, he goes around with a few other names. All of which are known in the underworld to have some sort of significance to one particular wife of Satan's," he turned back to his computer, "Beryl is her name. There isn't much on her. But they are feared in the underworld, and no one ever talks. I had a hard time even getting this simple piece of information."
"Beryl… isn't she the sister… more so then wife?" Yaten whispered as his eyes held on Taiki's.
"Isn't she the one that made a deal with Satan, that if she were to kill one of his wives, he would allow her to gain their powers?" Seiya asked.
Taiki nodded his head, "yep."
"What is your theory then?" Serena asked.
"I honestly, I don't know. But I agree with Seiya, Astrate is probably the most likely choose as a culprit for the recent attacks, but again, she is known to only haunt when someone has angered her. And her moving from town to town haunting just doesn't make sense either. So I must agree with Seiya again that someone must have captured her and are using her to use her powers. But again, who would do such a thing? So it may also be the works of Agrat-bat-mahlaht. But where this Beryl and Darien Shields come in… it's still unknown to me. No one is willing to speak up and share information." Taiki kept his eyes to the floor as he spoke.
Serena on the other hand had to hold onto Yaten for support as she tried to breathe. "How about you stay here tonight Sere?" Yaten suggested.
Serena just nodded.
"Don't worry; we'll take care of everything," Seiya tried to assure her. "Just go to sleep and we'll see you in the morning."
Serena just nodded as she let Yaten guide her to her old bedroom. Once she got there she assured Yaten she was right and closed her door. Her room was painted a light blue. Her curtains were the same colour and her carpet was a grey blue colour. Smack bang in the middle was a large dark oak bed with white bed covers. There was also a tall dark oak drawer and two single antique chairs. Opposite her bed was a door that led to her bathroom.
As she made her way towards her bathroom she pulled off her cloths and headed straight to her shower. "I need this,' she thought as she stood under the warm water. She could feel her muscles loosening. But she could still feel her gut lightly knotting and twisting. Once she was out she grabbed one of her old towels and made her way towards her wardrobe. There she grabbed one of her old cotton pants and singlet. Once dressed she lazily walked to her bed and hopped in. She couldn't explain why, but her body felt on guard. But even thought she felt on guard, like something was to happen, she tried her best to sleep.

)(: Dictionary, Reference, Guide :)(
Luna: Luna is obviously the moon, the spirit of the moon in this story. But she only appears before Serenity as a ghost or a black plush cat. She helps guide Serenity on Earth and reminds her of her mission. Although she is tough on Serenity, she does it because Serenity is known to give up when the going gets tough.
Mr. Tutsunagi: He is Serena's boss, and head honcho guy at 'Tutsunagi's Empire Bank'. He is a Troian which is a Russian demon of the night. He doesn't kill, but he likes to lure pretty women into is grasp and making their worst nightmares come true; making them fear for their lives.
Dryads: Are female spirits of nature that preside over the forests. A Dryad is born with a certain tree species and a particular tree, which she watches over. If the tree is destroyed the Dryad perishes along side the tree. Normally it is vice versa, if the Dryad dies then the tree will too, but it depends on the relationship, and closeness she had with her tree.
It is also known that a Dryad may punish mortals or other creatures if they somehow damage the trees or forests they preside in.
Bogie's: Are mischievous but harmless spirits that live in darkness. They can be found living inside anything as long as there are areas of darkness. Bogie's favour places where people store goods which they no longer use, so a dusty attic can harbour a number of Bogie's.
They try to be stealthful, but by nature they are clumsy. Most people find Bogies scary due to their actions, but they actually like to amuse themselves by hovering behind a persons back to create a feeling of uneasiness, as well as removing the blankets on the bed during a cold night.
Doppelganger: Means double walker, which in normal terms is a duplicate of another person or creature. A doppelganger does not necessary have a blood relationship with its double. A doppelganger may therefore be either an astral projection or a ghost. Their true identity/form is unknown.
Example: if it were able to get a hold of DNA, or a good look at whatever it wants to turn into, it could make a double by reforming its body, or display an astral projection or ghost. ie, grabbing a strand of hair from a pretty woman, it could transform into her, or create an illusion of her image.
Astrate: Is a female demon and she is the Queen of spirits of the Dead. Therefore, what ever spirit or ghost lands in hell, she has complete control over. She may also gain control over earth bound spirits that are dead or spirits that are created.
Unlike many demons that taunt for fun, she only haunts and uses her powers when someone has totally pissed her off and made her angry.
Kelly Re from WWH: Kelly Re is a news presenter. WWH is 'What We Hear'. Therefore, what we hear goes straight to you, the listeners.
Agrat-bat-mahlaht: is apparently one of Satan's wives. She is also the demoness of whores. Not much is known about her… but since she is a wife of Satan, her powers are nearly unlimited and she may have much more power then just over Whores.
