Within a week, Cyborg had completed the containment chamber. Kellyn and Raven set to work attaining the blade.
"Are you sure about this?" Raven asked as Kellyn pulled off her charms. "Maybe you should keep them on."
"You know why I can't do that." Kellyn protested, hiding the necklace and ring in one of her drawers. "Now let's hurry. The sooner we get this done the sooner I can put them back on." Raven nodded curtly and the two moved to the gym to perform the spell.
Kellyn began drawing the symbols from the book onto the floor while Raven helped Cyborg move the chamber in.
"Are we ready?" Raven asked. Kellyn nodded and stepped away from the circle as the empath recited the incantation.
"Traer a nai de demos. Aquel que empunha a espada de Dante! Traer a nai de demos. Aquel que empunha a espada de Dante!" The ground shook. Knocking Kellyn off her feet.
"There's resistance." Raven said. "Help me."
"Somethings wrong." She said. The words translated in her mind. Mother of demons. "Raven stop!" Raven looked up startled at Kellyn. Having not felt the tremor moving through the room. Even with the incantation halted, the summoning continued.
The green haired girl racked her brain for a counter spell to stop what was going to happen. Every spell she'd ever learned. None could help as the ground cracked and a spout of fire erupted from the floor.
When the flames died, a woman was left standing there. White, clouded eyes surveyed the room and landed on Kellyn. Blood red lips turned up in a smirk.
"Kellyn dear." She said. "It's been a while. I wish you'd called."
"Raven?" Kellyn asked. "What spell did you read?"
"The one I showed you." Raven read the page several times over again. "It says nothing about this."
"I would appreciate if you didn't talk about me as if I weren't here." The woman remarked.
"We need to find a way to send her back." Kellyn said. "We must have done something wrong."
"Oh, you did exactly what you were supposed to." The woman grinned. "You can't have the blade without the one who owns it."
"What?" Raven asked.
"Allow me to introduce myself." The woman flicked her black hair back. "Lilith. Mother of Demons and wielder of Dante's Blade. At your service."
"If you think I'm going to let you stay here your out of your mind." Kellyn stood. Glaring at the woman.
"She has the blade Kellyn." Raven reminded. "We need her."
"She'll get over it." Lilith assured Raven. "She's not too fond of me is all."
"Not too fond?" Kellyn snapped. "You're the reason I'm like this! Not too fond? I hate you!"
"Now now. That's no way to speak to..."
"Don't you dare."
"Dare what?" Raven questioned.
"Tell you that..."
"No!" Kellyn yelled, throwing Lilith back.
"You did always prefer your father." Lilith stood, crossing her arms over her chest. "I guess you never got over that."
"Kellyn what's she talking about?" Raven asked.
"I'm a monster because of you!"
"You're alive because of me!"
"What is going on?" Raven snapped.
"If you don't tell her. I will."
"She doesn't need to know."
"If you want her safe she does."
"Lilith..." Kellyn paused. "Is my mother."
