Stella was now incredibly enraged by what happened yesterday. No, she is more then just incredibly enraged at what had just happened, as that is simply putting it mildly. She is beyond pissed off! Her so-called husband had not only survived an assassination attempt on him, but someone ended up getting in the way. In the way that Striker claimed it, the demon ended up being much more stronger then Stolas, and was even able to resist the holy bullets that are being fired at him, which should be impossible, as no demon, no matter how strong, can never truly resist the power of the bullets, not to mention being strong enough to dent them with their mere bodies.
"THIS IS OUTRIGHT FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!"
She swung her hands at a vase and broke it, as she began to throw another one of her usual temper tantrums, and began to shout out!!
"I can't believe that Striker of all the pathetic low-life imps have failed to kill that pathetic imp-sucking bastard, and all because of another demon getting in the way!!!"
She punched a wall and made a crack in it, as her eyes flared dangerously with so much venom and rage within her very eyes. She never felt this mad in such a long time, nor had she felt this mad at such a huge failure that should have ended in such a high win for her, and yet out of a circumstance that she was unable to foresee, a demon had to get in the way of the job and ruin it.
"I fucking swear, if Striker had done his job properly, I would not have to deal with this fucking 4-eyed bastard even longer then I already can stand!!! And now, I'll need to wait for another time to make him get fucked up more then before!!!!"
She continues to break the room that she is in, as she continued to shriek, shout and wail, her anger continues to get very out of control, as she could not hold herself back. She continues to break the objects and items that are inside of the room that she is inside of, as she wants to vent her frustration in a way that would make her feel even a semblance of being better. But as she began to wreck everything inside of the room that she is in, the phone inside of the room, which is undamaged, began to ring on its own. This made Stella look to the phone, and on the assumption that it is Striker, who seems to be ready to 'redeem' himself for failing to kill Stolas, she stomps over to the phone, grabs it roughly, before pulling to her head fast and spoke out.
"About time!! Have you decided to fix your-"
But as she shouted out, laughter was heard from the other side. But it is not Striker's voice. And then, the voice spoke out.
"Hello, Stella. It is 'not so nice' to finally speak to you."
This made Stella freeze, as this voice is one that she knows not of. This made Stella mad, as an unwanted visitor and decided to mock her upon first speaking out.
"Who is this?! Who dares to-"
But the voice continued to speak out.
"I must say, it is such a low and cowardly move for you, all to try and use your pathetic pawn of an Imp to kill a prince of the Goetia Demons."
Now this made Stella stunned, as she then spoke out.
"What?! How do you know?!"
The demon laughed again at the other side, as he spoke out.
"Who do you think it was that stopped him in the first place, broke his body and ruins his chance?"
It didn't take long for Stella for realize who this demon is. It is the one that had intervened with Striker and Stella's desire in killing Stolas. As soon as she hears that, she got madder, her eyes glowing pink, as she spoke out.
"You...you dare call me just to mock me for what I have been doing?!"
The demon smirked at the other side, she felt it, as she then hears the demon spoke out.
"Oh, I do more then just dare or even brave myself to do that, unlike you, who hides in the dark line the pathetic child she is. And unfortunately for you, my dear...I cannot allow you to kill him this easily."
This made Stella freeze. He refuses to allow her to have Stolas killed as easily as this? This made Stella so mad, she began to screech at the phone.
"How fucking dare you?! To a fucking Goetia!! Why do you not allow me to kill that fucking imp-sucking piece of shit?!"
The voice spoke out to her in a casual manner, as if her temper tantrums are not that scary in his eyes.
"Why? Simple, my unpleasant guest...it is because I have plans for him, plans that you cannot begin to grasp, nor comprehend. Plans that I have great need or use for, in a future that is yet to come, that even he himself is unaware of. And I will not allow someone with such a childish, lowlife temper tantrum, to get in the way."
Although the voice sounds calm and pleaser, a sudden chill crept up to Stella's spine, and this made the female Goetia demon shiver. But she instead got madder, she became more furious then before, as she screeched out at the voice from the other side of the phone.
"I DON'T GIVE A BLOODY FUCK'S ASS ABOUT WHATEVER PLAN THAT YOU HAVE!!! IF YOU WON'T ALLOW ME TO KILL THAT FUCKING CHEATING BASTARD, THEN I WILL-"
Then, the entire room around her darkens, which made Stella freeze in place, as the voice spoke out.
"You'll what? Try and hunt me down, shoot me with a weak holy bullet, cut me and rip me to bits, oh you pathetic child. You cannot kill someone like me."
All of a sudden, a cut that is a deep scratch appeared onto her back, as Stella cried in pain, and felt a claw mark over her eyes, making her blind, as the voice spoke out.
"You are nothing more then a mere Goetia, and as high ranking as you may be, you are nothing compared to the might that I have, as your immature foolishness will not allow you to consider the possible importance of what plan that I have in store, as we as the goals that I have. And I completely doubt that your brother will even save you from what I can do to you."
This made Stella raise her face at the phone in pure rage despite not being able to see it, but she cannot find the strength to shout out at the person from the other side, due to the fact that he is able to hurt her, despite the fact that he is not present in the room that she is in. Hell, he is not present inside of the house. So she kept silent, as the voice spoke out.
"Well...have a good day, my lady."
The phone call ended, and at the same time, the phone exploded in her hand, as Stella stepped off of the ground. She felt the claw marks on her back and face heal, allowing her to see again, but not by her own power. Rather, it is by another outside power of some sort. She stood up, and the sense of humiliation filled her thoughts. It seems that she will have more then just Stolas to deal with, who she hates. She will now have to deal with another demon, one that she has no knowledge of, nor has any way to deal with, as she has no idea how strong he is. But she does not care, for she will get what she wants. And not even a demon that she knows not of will get in the way.
Hodr is now shown inside of the I.M.P Building, in the part where Blizø's office door is at, as he sat down and read a book in his hand. The book is of the title called, Paradise Lost, which is a rather interesting book in his eyes, due to what the book is all about. He looks at the page, where a naked woman with blond hair is reaching her hand towards a tree that has fruits on it, the fruits being apples, and at the other side of the page, there is a snake present, watching her with an eager expression, as if he is waiting for her to do this.
"Always wondered how the snake was able to speak, unless it is that hell king in disguise, in which it could be understandable."
As Hodr said that, while he continued to read the book, Loki then appeared over the shoulder of Hodr, as he spoke out to him.
"Hey, Hodr. Think you wanna check on with Xaphan sometime, so that he can analyze our broken sword and see if it can be repaired?"
Hodr looks at Loki, who now is wearing a jester hat of some sort, with hind legs and an imp tail, as he spoke out.
"I guess. And why are you wearing a clown suit on the head?"
Loki then shrugged his shoulders, as he then spoke out to him.
"Why not? It looks a little bit nice on me. Besides, I think it fits who I am named after, right?"
Hodr looks at Loki with an unamused expression on his face, but he does not say anything about that. He then stood you and looking around to see if anyone is watching him, he then goes up, holds the Grimoire in his hand, and made a portal appear in front of him, smoke began to fill the room form out of the portal, before he then goes inside of the portal, which closed behind him.
As he goes inside of Xaphan's forge, he looks around and sees that Xaphan appears to have made more weapons then before, such as spears, maces, and flails. It is a bit weird they Xaphan is a bit more activate then before, probably he has nothing else to do. Well, it is not Hodr's business anyway. After all, he is not the one that made these weapons. As he goes forward, he sees Xaphan hammering down onto the weapon that he is working on, which is a knife, as Hodr waits for Xaphan to be finished. But it turns out he did not need to wait, as Xaphan spoke out to him.
"You know, you don't need to wait until I am done, Hodr. I can speak to you while I am working."
Hodr then spoke out.
"I know. Was just trying to be polite. That's all."
Xaphan nodded his head, as he finished with the knife, before dipping it into cold water, before he put the knife onto a cable and hung it up, and spoke out.
"By the way...I finished making your improved spear."
He held his hand out, and grabbed onto Hodr's right hand, as the marking returned to Hodr's finger again, as he looks at it. He clenched his spear, and he now sees that it is infused with the holy light of the arrows that the Cherubs had used.
"While it cannot kill demons like the usual arrows, it is now able to cause damage that will take a bit to heal, and it is now durable against holy weapons, with the exception of the stronger type of holy weapons."
Hodr nodded his head, as he then spoke out.
"I see. And the sword, how's it going with that?"
Xaphan smacked his head a little bit, as he spoke out.
"Well...about that. The holy bullet managed to leave some of its residue behind, especially in the shattered parts. Because of this, it'll take me at least a week in order to fix the sword and improve it. I honestly have no idea how Striker manage to accomplish this, getting holy weapons, unless he got it from a high-ranking demon."
Hodr nodded his head, as he spoke out.
"Okay, and do you want to improve the knife as well, so I don't have to show up with it damage and broken?"
Xaphan nodded his head, as he spoke out.
"But of course. It won't waste time for me as well."
Hodr nodded, as he clenched his left hand and summoned the knife, before handing it to Xaphan, who then grabs it and the marking on Hodr's finger at the left hand is gone. Xaphan then puts the knife down, and holds onto a jar that shows the liquefied remains of the arrows, as he then spoke out.
"At least I have enough for the both of them. Anyways, so tell me, Hodr...I want to know what happened between you and this Striker bastard, for he has a lot of nerve ruining one of my finest work."
Hodr looked a bit uneasy for a bit and sighed, as he then spoke out.
"Well...it will be tough for me to explain it. But...I'll try my best to describe what happened."
Hodr then began to explain what it is that occurred, with the fight, the reason Striker was in the Wrath Ring, as well as in the fact in that he had nearly died from the fight, only for something unexpected to happen, in that he had gotten possessed by an unknown demon of some sort. This made Xaphan frozen, as he then spoke out.
"Wait...a demon had...possessed you?"
Hodr nodded his head, as he then spoke out.
"Yeah, and it is one that I have never seen or witnessed before. I mean...I know how it feels to be posed, my mind is shut away and I am unconscious in all of that, but this...this was different. I am still conscious, but inside of my mind still, and I was trapped there, watching what is going on inside, as well as the fact that I can see the demon's form, and the demon...it felt very strong. It is No Ars Goetia, but it did feel much stronger then that, then an Ars Goetia. In fact, I don't know how strong it is compared to the other stronger demons."
Xaphan puts his hand onto his chin and taps it a little bit, as he then goes to speak out to Hodr.
"Well...was there anything else that was unusual in the possession compared to the other times you were possessed, especially by Phenex and Malphas?"
Hodr looked down and nodded, as he spoke out.
"Yeah, there is one sort of moment that made the entire possession unusual. During my possession I..."
Hodr felt himself lost in his words, but he shook his head and spoke out.
"When I was possessed by this strange demon, I felt something, a piercing agony on my forehead. I don't know why that happened, but I felt like there is something carved into my forehead, or burned in it, I don't know. I think it is a symbol of some sort, and when that happened...I looked around through what is happening, and for some reason, I.M.P became very scared and uneasy, and so did Striker. I...I don't know why that had happened. It just...came out of complete nowhere, and I have no idea why. Do you?"
Xaphan looked down, as he began to think of what it is that Hodr said. He clenched his fist, and he knew who it is. He knows who it is that has taken over Hodr that day. He felt his own hands and body tremble, due to the fact that the demon that had possessed Hodr, it is one of the demons that he had feared in so long, due to how immense his might is, as well as how strong he is compared to the other demons, with only the rulers of Hell, and a certain Princess, being able to take on him. He looks down, wondering what to day, before he decided to stop shaking and shrug his shoulders, and spoke out.
"Well, I don't know what to tell you, Hodr. It ain't like any other demon that I have heard of. But if it is powerful, well...then who knows. The demon light be your friend, or it is likely that the demon is just using you for some unknown goal that it has in mind. I don't know what else to tell you."
Hodr looks and shrugged his shoulders a little bit, and spoke out.
"Well...okay, I guess. Well, I guess I'll have to go and wait for the weapons to be done. Kinda a shame that it has to be destroyed, my sword."
Xaphan nodded his head, as he spoke out.
"Yeah, it is kinda a shame. But...that reminds me. Hodr, do you know of any Overlords in Hell that you have met?"
Hodr shook his head, as he spoke out to Xaphan on this.
"No, not a single one. I mean, I have researched and heard of some infamous Overlords, such as the Radio Demon, the TV Demon, the Moth Demon, which I am repulsed at due to what he is like, as well a couple others."
Xaphan looks at Hodr and spoke out to him.
"There is actually another Overlord that had made his appearance in Hell, and he is very young, 18, and works at that strange hotel that supposedly redeems the sinful. I forgot what they called him, but I do remember that he has legs and hooves a lamb and an Imp tail. But that is all I know. He's pretty powerful in a way, and I think even named him Crowley, though I could be wrong in a way. Other then that, it is interesting to see a Overlord rise at that age, and he had been here for about a couple of months, basically before you came down and worn for I.M.P."
Hodr looks at Xaphan and nodded his head, as he then spoke out to him.
"I see."
Xaphan then spoke out.
"And what is more, the Overlord is said to be one of the kindest Demons yet, even when he does his deals in his deal-making to benefit other kind demons, and even is friends with the princess, helping with her hotel. I'm rather curious to see what he is like when I get to meet him. Although, as I am a little bit too fascinated with my work and my weapons, I don't think I'll have the chance to do it. But, whatever. If you run into him, give me a photo, okay?"
Hodr looks at Xaphan, and has a bit of a weirded out expression on his face, but he shook his head and spoke out.
"Well, if you say so. And that is if I can buy myself a camera, or if by a rather rare chance, I get to be best friends with him, and bring him to you."
Xaphan shrugged his shoulders for a bit, as he spoke out.
"Well, can't argue with that."
Hodr nodded his head, as he then swiped his hand and he goes back into the I.M.P building, in order to back onto the couch...only to see that Loona is using her entire body for the couch, and both Moxxie and Millie, along with Blizø are discussing some plans for their next kill for them to take. Hodr rolled his eyes, as he spoke out.
"What's going on here?"
Moxxie turns to Hodr and spoke out.
"Oh there you are, Hodr. Where've you been?"
Hodr then spoke out to Moxxie.
"Been speaking to Xaphan, needed to try and fix my sword and upgrade my knife so that they don't break by holy weapons again. And needless to say, waiting is gonna be an ass."
Loona shrugged, as she spoke out.
"Then you better get used to it."
Hodr spoke out.
"Yeah, I know Loona. Or rather, I am used to it already, but it is annoying?"
Millie, deciding to but into the conversation, spoke out.
"And Hodr...we've been gettin' a contract from someone that wants us to kill some businessman that killed them, but he has ton's ah guards, and we have no idea how to deal with them!"
Blitzø then looks at Hodr and spoke out.
"So you think you have some idea on how to cause a shitstorm to the guy's whole place, big man?"
Hodr turns around and puts his hands over his mouth, before speaking out.
"Well, I do have one idea."
He then puts his bag down and began to pull some stuff out.
"The fuck is that?"
Hodr looks at the stuff that he took out, which are black spray cans of some sort,
"Oh, this is called Fox Spray. Got it from some controversial market of sorts, which is also called Ghost Pepper spray. Causes a lot of pain to the eyes of the targets, making them to weep and have a burning sensation, as well as make them temporarily blind."
This Blitzø eager to use it, but Hodr then spoke out to him.
"And don't think of using it Moxxie now, otherwise you'll mess up what we task you are gonna do. And the last thing you need is a blind Moxxie that is shooting everywhere and accidentally firing at you and Millie."
This made Blitzø a bit sulky and bummed out, but Millie took them and spoke out.
"Thank ya for that one, Hodr. Now will cause a lot of pain and blindness to the bastard guards that are at the top!"
Hodr then spoke out.
"You're welcome I guess?"
Then, Moxxie open the Grimoire, as they spoke out.
"Well, gotta go. See ya, Hodick!! And don't you dare put your Werner into my precious Loonie!!"
"Blitzø, shut the fuck up!!!"
The portal closed, as Hodr look gobsmacked at what it is that Blitzø.
"Ahh...what?"
Loona, who heard it, looked a bit pissed at what it is that, but then huffed, as she spoke out.
"Don't pay attention to him. Always acts like a fucking creep in saying shit like that."
Hodr looks at the portal still, and spoke out.
"I'm gonna kill myself if I were to ever hear something like this again. Like seriously, what in the actual heck is Blitzø thinking?"
As he shook his head, the Sigil on his hand began to glow. Hodr then goes into a private room, and opens his hand, revealing the hologram of Octavia, who looked a little bit frustrated then before.
"Oh, hey Octavia. You okay?"
Octavia sighed and spoke out.
"No, I'm not. And it is because of-"
"EAT SHIT, YOU FUCKING, IMP DICK SUCKING-"
Hodr flinched at the sudden loud voice, as Hodr spoke out.
"Sounds even more mad, your mother, I mean."
Octavia nodded, as she spoke out.
"Yeah, or rather, she's more pissed off then ever before in my whole bloody life. And it is kinda getting very annoying for me. Mind if we can hang out at that abandoned place we were in? Besides, I kinda want to know what else you can do. And I already told dad about me going to you again today."
Hodr nodded his head, as he spoke out.
"Okay, I'll come as fast as possible. And keep yourself from getting hurt by your mom, okay?"
Octavia chuckled a little dryly at that, as he ended the conversation. He got his backpack out, puts his paradise lost book inside of the backpack, and goes outside, and Loona, who was paying attention to her phone, looks at Hodr and spoke out.
"And where are you going, dumbass?"
Hodr looks at Loona and spoke out to her.
"Octavia wants to hang out with me again and teach her some other magic that I know of. Is that okay with you?"
Loona looks at Hodr with a raised eyebrow, and shrugged, before speaking out.
"Eh, why the fuck not?"
Hodr nodded, as he then made a portal, and speak out.
"See ya soon."
He then goes through the portal, and closed it, as Loona smiled a little bit, the fur on her cheeks turned a little bit red.
Hodr went out from the other side of the portal, back in the abandoned city that is protected by his concealment magic, as he closed the portal, and he then sighed. He swiped his hand to the side, and made another portal, and when he did, a potted vase nearly hit him, although he ducked, which smashed into the ground. When that happened, a big shadow ran through the other side, and the portal closed.
"There you are."
Hodr looks up at Octavia, who also looked a little bit stressed, due to the fact that it is getting a little bit out of control on her end.
"Thanks for that. Mother had gone completely mental all of a sudden. Seems she had a very bad day for some reason, and began to attack and throw everything without care of the direction."
Hodr spoke out.
"That's kinda nuts."
Octavia nodded her head a little bit, as she spoke out.
"Yeah, it kinda is. Bloody fucking hell. Wonder what it is that made her day bad enough to have her anger go down to shit."
Hodr looks at the potted plant, and oddly, it looks like that Piranha plant from that game called Mario, except that it is a green color. Hodr then spoke out.
"Well, hopefully she cools down by the time you get back, as well as hoping you old man's okay."
Octavia nodded her head, as she spoke out.
"Anyway. So, what else do you think that you can show me today?"
Hodr puts his hand onto his mouth, as he began to think of what else he is able to show her...but then he remembered his backpack, the fact that he had done something to it, as he spoke out.
"Actually, there is one that I think I can show you."
He then puts his backpack down, and began to take some stuff out, his Grimoire, some other books, and some of the stuff which are normally make the backpack unable to fit inside of it. This made Octavia confused and surprised, as she spoke out.
"Woah, how the fuck are you doing any of that?"
Hodr then looks at Octavia and spoke out, a smile appears on his face in a somewhat mischievous way.
"Oh that. I simply was able to do...something to the interior of the backpack while leaving the outside fine. That way, I can fit more stuff inside of my backpack and lessen running out of room."
This made Octavia intrigued at what it is that Hodr said, as she spoke out.
"Really? How did you do that?"
Hodr then spoke out.
"Well...actually, I created that one myself. Simply made a type of crest of some sort, and uh...here, let me show you with another backpack that I found, which I bought in case I lose my usual one."
He then manage to make another backpack came out of nowhere, this one he stole from some bad people, as he placed it down onto the ground, before he then spoke out.
"Here, like this."
Hodr then takes out what seems to be a Flyer paper of some sort, as he used the tip of his spear to cut his thumb a bit, before he then began to draw what seems to be a pentagram, one that is usually found in a occult, before putting it onto the side of the backpack. When that happened, the Flyer began to glow, and so did the crest, and when the glowing is done, the paper is gone, but the pentagram on the side is still there, now in a purple color. He opens the backpack, and he looks down, as he spoke out.
"Sweet. It worked."
This made Octavia look down, and she sees that the bottom of the backpack is not here. It is as if there is nothing but a black void, almost like a pocket dimension of sorts is created inside of the backpack.
"Wow? How much stuff can you put in?"
Hodr shrugged his shoulders, as he then spoke out.
"I honestly have no idea. I've never measured the limit of my backpack. And currently, I am trying to find a way to make the 2 backpacks connect, just in case I lose one."
Octavia was stunned, but she then turns to look at her own backpack, as she then spoke out.
"Do you mind if I can try it?"
Hodr nodded his head, and gave her a black flyer paper, as Octavia grabbed it. She then looked at her thumb, and with a sigh, cuts her thumb using one of her claws, and began to make a pentagram symbol of some sort, before putting it onto the side of her backpack, and when that happened, the Flyer glowed, and it is gone, with the pentagram now on the side in a pink color. She looked inside, and saw that it is the same as the other backpack, a black void, with no bottom of sorts.
"Woah, that is bloody fucking insane!"
Hodr smiled and nodded his head, as he began to put the stuff inside his normal backpack, as well as make the spare backpack gone. As Octavia's thumb healed, she looks and sees a book that interested her a bit. It is a book called, Paradise Lost.
"Hmm? What kind of book is that?"
This made Hodr stop, and he looks at the book in his hand, before he smiled and spoke out.
"Oh, it's a book called Paradise Lost. And I actually read this book since I was a child, all by myself, not to mention it being the first one I've read, but I actually think some stuff had happened in the boom that is real in the past."
This made Octavia gawk her head to the side, as she spoke out.
"What is it about?"
Hodr looks at Octavia, as he then speaks to her.
"The story talks about Adam and Eve, as well as their bloodlines. And in case you don't know, Adam and Eve are said to be the very first humans created by God himself."
Octavia blinked at this, as she spoke out.
"What? The first 2 humans?"
Hodr nodded his head, as he then spoke out.
"Yeah, you heard that right. They are the very first humans god had created, all from the dust in the ground. Basically, they are both the start of the assembly line that lead to us Humans existing in the amount that we have."
This made Octavia interested and in awe at what she heard. Throughout all of her years of living, she never heard of where the humans even came from. All that she heard is that they had showed up in the past, but it is never something that occurred to her in that there is a possibility in which they were created. But, it seems that they were indeed created. Truth be told, she is interested in their origins, and perhaps...perhaps with what Hodr had, she might be able to hear about where they had came from. Going up to Hodr, she spoke out to him.
"Well, mind if you can talk to me about it?"
This made Hodr surprised, as he then spoke out.
"Wait, what? You wanna hear and listen about the story involving Adam and Eve, despite the fact that we are only studying magic and all of that?"
Octavia nodded her head, as she spoke out to him.
"Well, of fucking course I wanna know. Besides, this is the first time that I have ever heard of the so-called first fucking humans to exist, and now, i'm kinda interested to know in where they came from."
Hodr looks down at the boom of Paradise Lost, and he then sighed a little bit, as he then spoke out.
"Well...if you say so. Okay, I'll talk about it."
Hodr then made a chair and sat down in it, as he then summoned another one, which Octavia sat on as well. Hodr then looks down at the ground, before he then spoke out.
"So, where do we begin?"
As he said that, a voice spoke out.
"Perhaps you can tell her about the garden."
This made Octavia and Hodr jump, as both turned to see Loki appear as well, his legs crossed and he smiled a little bit, as Octavia spoke out.
"Loki, bloody damnit. Did you really need to do that?"
Loki smiled, as he spoke out.
"Sorry, Octavia. I just couldn't resist."
Hodr sighed, as Octavia spoke out.
"By the way, what does he mean by Garden?"
Hodr then looked down, as he spoke out.
"Well...about that. Truth is, Humans originally did not appear all over the world as you know. In fact, originally, they were living in a place called the Garden of Eden, the first paradise by man, as well as the birthplace of Adam and Eve."
Octavia gawked her head to the side, as she spoke out.
"So like, what? Adam and Eve fucked with each other and were married throughout all that?"
Hodr shook his head.
"Not at first, no. Admittedly, Adam did get together with a woman before, but not by Eve at first. The first lover that he had was a woman named...Lilith I think, yeah, that's her name."
This caught Octavia's attention, as she heard that name before.
"Lilith?"
Hodr nodded his head, as he spoke out.
"Yeah, you see, Lilith was the supposed first wife of Adam, and originally, she was once a human, before turning into something else entirely. What I mean is that...Lilith was banished from the Garden of Eden due to the fact that she refuses to comply and obey Adam, and because of this, I think somewhere along the way, she somehow became a demon, and actually, she became the very first female demon to ever exist while she was alive. And that is when Adam switched to Eve and had 2 sons, Cain, the third human, and Abel, the fourth."
This made Octavia look down. She looks down, and remembered that she would often see Lucifer with his wife, Lilith, and the thing is...she always wondered where it is that she had came from. Could it be...Octavia decided not to think of that right now, as she then spoke out.
"Well...Hodr...it's kinda a fucking strange comment for me to say but...there is a Lilith in hell, and she is the wife of Lucifer."
This made Hodr interested, as he spoke out.
"Really? What does she look like?"
Octavia then spoke out.
" She has long blond hair that reaches down to her ankles, or rather the floor, I don't fucking know, a pair of red horns that curved backwards, as well as silvery grey eyes."
Hodr looked intrigued, he tapped his chin with his finger and spoke out.
"That's...actually a little bit strange, at least in the way I can see it. The human Lilith in the stories is said to have blond hair as well, but did not mention the eyes."
This made Octavia a bit surprised, as Hodr shook his head, as he then spoke out.
"I mean, it is possible, but I'm not sure. You're gonna need to ask Lilith yourself, if that is possible."
Octavia nodded her head, as she spoke out.
"Well, doubt that, as trying to get to her is a rather shitty idea. But...why did the humans leave the Garden of Eden, if you don't mind me asking."
Hodr's eyes narrowed a little bit, as he then spoke out.
"Not left, banished. And not because they something bad intentionally. It is because they were tricked by something, or someone. And the one that were tricked was Eve herself. You see, she was tricked to commit a very terrible action by a serpent of some sort, one that combined her to do something against god's warnings."
This made Octavia confused, as she spoke out.
"I don't follow. Be more clear."
Hodr sighed, as he spoke out.
"Well...you see, in the Garden of Eden, there is a tree that has fruit on it, but they are not your usual fruit as you know of. Actually, the fruit in the Tree on the Garden of Eden, it is said to contain the knowledge of good and evil, and God has warned the humans not to eat it."
Octavia was shocked, as she spoke out.
"What, a fruit that contains the knowledge of Good and Evil? You've gotta be shitting me!"
Hodr shook his head a little bit, as he then spoke out.
"No, I'm not 'shitting' with you. The story literally says about a fruit that contains both the knowledge of good and evil itself. And if I were to believe, those that ate are able to gain said knowledge itself. So imagine if a Demon such as Satan or Asmodeus ate it, and they gained said knowledge of both good and evil itself, or if you ate it."
Octavia flinched a bit, and spoke out.
"I think I'd be screaming and making a fit like a bitch if I were to ever gain such knowledge in the first place. But...what was it that manipulated Eve into eating the apples."
Hodr looks down and spoke out.
"Well, the story that a serpent of some sort was the one that did it, one that was able to somehow speak to Eve, and manipulated her to into eating the apple, and Eve convinced Adam to join in. And needless to say, God was not pleased, as they disobeyed him even though, admittedly they were manipulated into doing so, as this act is what made God throw them out of Eden, banishing then from Paradise for all eternity and made then mortal, which is why people are able to experience pain, get sick, etc. This lead to an act of disobedience, which people have called, the original sin, which is strange, as I thought that Pride is the first and original sin."
Even Octavia felt a bit weirded out at what it is that such an act is called. The Original Sin? How does that make any sense. Pride is supposed to be the original sin. So how is disobedience said as the original sin itself? Octavia snorts a bit, almost as if God sounds petty and unfair, as he did not seem to hear out Eve and Adam as to why they did such an act in the first place. But Octavia shook her head and spoke out.
"Doesn't sound like God acts mature at all. Sounds like he wants his Will done his own way and no one else's to overshadow his. Almost sounds like a tempter tantrum of some sort. But there is one thing that I'm confused in. Like, what kind of fruit was on the tree though."
Hodr shrugged his shoulders, and spoke out.
"Actually, no one knows what kind of fruit it is that is on the tree, as it's description is never given on what type it is. But it is commonly believed that the fruit that was growing from the tree itself is an apple of some sort. And it is also believed that Lucifer himself is the serpent itself that manipulated Eve in the first place into eating the apple."
This made Octavia freeze in her place, as she thought of what Hodr had said about the fruit and the serpent, as well as his possible identity. Now that she has heard it and she is thinking about it, it actually does kind of fit. The many times that she and her father had seen Lucifer, of course not while in person, he is often seen holding some stuff that resembles an apple, one tucked at the hat and one at the end of his cane. And if what Hodr has said is to be believe, then it does made sense for Octavia in why it is that Lucifer has all of these themes on apples on his hat and cane. Of course, a part of her wants to think of this as coincidental, but the other part of her wants to believe that this is the case and that it is real. But she decides not to think about it now. She moves onto the next question.
"So what did Adam and Eve do when they were banished? Did the wander around in the middle of fucking nowhere or something?"
Hodr looks at Octavia and shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, maybe. But what is clear is that after the fall, Adam's relationship with Eve has become strained or, as the story says, querulous. He blamed her for his fall and with the situation that the both of them are in, which I say is a rather dick move to do, as Adam himself is to blame for what happened as well, as he went along with his wife. He ain't a saint himself you know."
Octavia chuckled a bit at the comment and at the jab he made at Adam, as Hodr shook his head and spoke out.
"Anyway, Eve was somehow able to rekindle their lost love by what the story says is that ' it takes a mea culpa speech' all from Eve, in order to fix their romance again, which I say is absolutely ridiculous, because why would you want to resume a relationship that fast, all from a speech? I'd expect it to take a bit longer then that. And of course, but Adam and Eve settled down in the earth, along with their sons, Cain and Abel, and it would have been a perfect family for them, or something bad did not happen between the 2 brothers."
Now this made Octavia a bit uneasy, due to the tone that Hodr is using. It is obvious what whatever it was that happened for the brothers, it is certainly not good at all. Octavia, looking at Hodr, spoke out to him.
"So...what is the story between the 2 brothers, Cain and Abel?"
Hodr looked down at the ground, and spoke out.
"Well...Cain and Abel both had attended positions of their own. Cain was a farmer, he grew crop and weed, with Abel being a Shepard, in which he tends to animals or kills them. And I think that Cain and Abel used to get along very well with one another. However, they all changed when God came into the lives of the first humans again. And this time...what God wants is an offering that could appease him."
Octavia then spoke out with confusion in her voice.
"An offering?"
Hodr nodded his head, as he then spoke out.
"Yeah, an offering of some sort, in order to make God be approved of. And well, the brother began to give out their offerings. For Cain, he offered the Lord seeds, or fruit from the soul, or wheat. I don't know what it is. The story kind of confuses me. But what is not confusing is Abel's offering. His offering was a lamb that he sacrificed to God. And God, he took notice of Abel and his offering, but did not feel the same for Cain and his offering. Rather, he ignored it, and that is when Cain changed pretty badly at this."
Octavia looked at Hodr, and she felt very unsure of herself in what it is that she is about to hear next. But then so, she wants to hear it.
"What is it that occurred."
Loki looks at Octavia and sighed, before he spoke out.
"Well...this moment is actually pretty horrible and brutal. So...brace yourself for this one, okay?"
Octavia looks at Loki, who also seems a little sick at this. Whatever it is that Hodr knows of, it is obviously not good. But Octavia took a deep breath, and nodded, as she exhaled out slowly, before she spoke out.
"So...what did Cain do?"
Hodr looks at Octavia, and spoke out.
"Cain...when he was in the offering, he felt a sense of pride that he can win. But when God only accepted Abel's offer, Cain felt his pride shattered, and he was consumed with wrath and envy at his own brother. So...after the offering, he tricked Abel into coming with him somewhere, out in the field, and when he did he..."
Hodr stopped, as he felt his breath hitch, he feels a little tiny bit queasy at what it is that he knows of in the story. He doesn't feel comfortable saying it. But he swallowed a lump in his throat, and spoke out.
"He used the jaw of an animal, and he used it to hurt Abel with it. But he did more then just hurt Abel. He killed him."
Octavia gasped, as her eyes widened, as she spoke out.
"What? He..he killed his own brother?!"
Hodr nodded his head, and spoke out.
"Yeah, he did. In his act of wrath and envy that consumed him, he killed his own younger brother. The very first Murder to ever exist in human history, which is also the time that evil itself was made, with Cain as the ancestor of it all. Of course, God noticed it, and did not let Cain get away with it. Of course, not immediately did he punish him. God sent a Raven in how to hurt Abel, and a crow showed him by scratching the ground away. And this time, Cain did regret what he did, killing his own brother and all of that, but unfortunately, it is too late to take it back. Abel has died, and now he has invoked God's anger. Cain is punished with the fact that he can no longer have the grown help him, for the ground will not be able to produce the food that comes from the trees. Basically, he can no longer eat fruits or anything like that. But Cain was also given another curse, in that if anyone were to try and attack him, the attacker will be hit back '7-fold' as the story says, as well as being cursed with a mark of some sort, so that people would know who he is. And after that, Cain wandered into nowhere, away from the Lord himself, until he found his own kingdom which he called, Nod, and it is there he began to sire descendants."
Octavia could not believe what it is that she has heard from Hodr himself. Cain had killed his one brother, all because he was envious of him in that God took notice and appreciation of Abel and his sacrifice. Octavia...she has no idea what to say about this. She should not comprehend the fact that a brother would kill another brother instead of being proud of him. So why was my he proud of him? She could almost feel herself being unable to breath, but she does have enough strong to say this.
"Killing his own fucking brother? That...that is such a bitchy move! Why would you do that?"
Hodr nodded his head, as he spoke out.
"Yeah, I think he'd agree with you, since he regrets killing his own brother, but is unable to take it back. Even I think that he is ashamed at what it is that he has done. And I guess on some level, wishes that he can take it back."
Octavia gripped her hands tightly into fists, but says nothing, almost as if she is thinking of this is what her mother wanted to do, kill Stolas without her knowing, and with no remorse for her actions, as she then shook her head, her hair, or...feathers, waved a bit at the movement, as she then spoke out.
"What...what kind of animal was the jaw from?"
Hodr then looks down and looks a bit weirded out, as he then spoke out.
"Oddly...he used the jawbone of a donkey. But the story...humorously enough, calls it a 'jawbone of an ass.'"
This made Octavia look at Hodr, as if he is nuts, as she then spoke out to him.
"Are you serious? Jawbone of an ass? Please tell me the story did not say that?"
Hodr shook his head, as he spoke out.
"No, I'm not. And actually Donkeys are actually called ass, which I have no idea why they are called that. Like, that is the most dumbest name to give to an animal, and they even lessened the sadness of the story by calling the jaw that."
Octavia nodded, as if in agreement with Hodr, as she spoke out.
"Whoever wrote this historical history, really must be having a bad sense of humor, or is just drunk to shitty hell itself."
Hodr shrugged his shoulder a bit.
"Yeah. Even I cannot argue with that."
Octavia looked down, and spoke out.
"And...you said that he had a symbol on him. What does it look like, and what part of his body was it on?"
Hodr looked down and spoke out.
"Unfortunatley, the boom never said what it looks like or even gave it a description. And it also never said what part of his his body it is on. It was only mentioned there so that people recognized him."
Octavia scoffed a little bit, as she spoke out.
"Great. So what, Cain is now an only child and made his bloodline as horrible as him? Is that what it is, make a bad bloodline form Adam and Eve themselves with Abel gone?"
Hodr looks down, as he spoke out.
"Well, actually...Cain and Abel are not the only sons of Adam and Eve."
This made Octavia look at Hodr in a weird way, as she spoke out.
"What do you mean?"
Hodr then spoke out.
"Ther did actually a third son that Adam and Eve has made, called Seth. I think to act as a replacement Abel, I'm not sure. I doubt that they did it to replace him but I don't know. Anyway, Seth was born when Adam was 130 years of age, and I think he still looked young at the time. And Seth, like Cain, actually began to make descendants of his own at he aged, and in time, Seth, like Adam, made a huge family of his own, which is pretty insane and ridiculous at the same time. And like Adam and Cain, Seth loved for a rather long time, although his lifespan was a little bit shorter compared to them both, as Adam and Cain lived for 930 years before they died, and Seth lived for 912. And unfortunately, Cain's Descendants met a very bad experience in their lives."
This made Octavia a bit concerned, as she then looks at Hodr and spoke out.
"What do you mean by that?"
Hodr looks down for a little bit, and after a little bit of thinking, he is able to gather his thoughts enough to say this.
"Well, the story has it that Cain's bloodline had came to an end, due to the fact that they had all been washed away by a sort of flood of some kind. But it is not a normal flood. It, if I were to believe, was one at an apocalyptic level. Although...it is rumored that some of Cain's descendants survived to persevere in the next generations or rather the future generation...but I could be wrong. For as long as I can believe, I think some of Cain's bloodline is still out there, somewhere in the world."
Octavia looks down and hugs herself a little bit, as it is quite an intense history lesson that she had to listen to. And needless to say, this history lesson, she doubt that she will ever forget it. She looks down and hugged herself a little bit, as she has no idea how she can handle this much info without losing her shit. And all that she can think about, is in how huge it is that humanity was once in a garden that was originally their home, only for them to be kicked out of their home by the manipulations of a serpent, which is likely Lucifer himself, since he is always themed around apples. And then, the first Murder happens due to a jealous and wrathful brother, and then, the flood. That is so much for her to take in. But if it is true, especially involving Lilith and Lucifer, then it would explain why it is that life had gone the way that it is.
Loki looks down at her, her thoughts are running all over the place, as he then spoke out to her.
"I take that this is a lot to take in?"
Octavia looks at Loki and spoke out to her.
"That's putting it mildly. It is a whole ton of shit that I was not expecting. I'm honestly surprised that I can process it all without fainting or freaking out!"
Hodr nodded his head, as he spoke out.
"Understandable, I guess. After all, it is a very huge story, and some stories that I was able to read even made me wonder what it is like if God himself did not send us any out of the Garden of Eden. But well, nothing that can be done I guess. Somethings can never be avoidable."
Octavia intertwined her hands together, as she looks down and thought of what he has said.
"Fuck...didn't think that the past of what happened was this shitty."
Hodr nodded his head, as he spoke out.
"Yeah, well, at least not as bad as what has happened now. Nowadays, the world is now going into hot water due to how unstable it has become. Humans now killing and shorting each other, waging war on one another, disease and pestilence everywhere, death constantly raining down and my other kin feeling apathetic about it, at least the past times were a bit less bad and the humans actually cared about the deaths that they cause and not feel like it is an everyday occurrence that people get used to."
Hodr shook his head, as he spoke out.
"Honestly, I don't know what in the world this has to keep in happening. Just kinda wish that the other humans would at least care about what is going on instead of treating it like it is something that they are so accustomed to. Even I'm kinda disturbed by what my kind are thinking of."
Octavia felt a little bit bad about Hodr, mainly because of how he felt about it, his own mind becoming as bad and chaotic as it is. After all, he said that they lost themselves out of complete nowhere and very suddenly. She looks down at Hodr, and spoke out.
"Hey, Hodr...if you don't mind me asking...was the Garden of Eden every described in where it is located at?"
Hodr looks at Octavia and nodded, and spoke out.
"Yeah, actually. Said to be somewhere in the head of Persian Gulf, in southern Mesopotamia, where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers run into the sea. But..."
Hodr looked down, a bewildered expression present, as though he had seen something that did not make sense, and he then spoke out.
"The thing is, I actually traveled there with my former friend to where it is supposed to be located...but when I got there...there was no Garden of Eden anywhere. It's like God removed it and placed it somewhere else."
This made Octavia suspicious, as Hodr looked down.
"There was not even a tree that has fruit on it. I looked all over the place, and not a single sign of it was here. It was very weird. I don't even know how else to describe it."
He then sighed and shook his head, as he spoke out.
"But...maybe it is best that it is never found. After all, things such as the Garden itself might have been a selfish experience for us humans."
Octavia nodded her head, as she spoke out.
"Well...are there any other stories that you've read besides that?"
Loki looks and spoke out.
"Only one. It's called the Rapture. It is basically one that talks about an apocalypse that ends the world or something, and that God will only take those that are faithful to him to heaven, while leaving the ones that never prayed to him, that being the both good or bad people, down in the earth to die, which is outright ridiculous and stupid. Some people even say that it mig it happen sometime in the future."
This made Octavia have an incredulous expression on her face, as she spoke out.
"Are you fucking serious?"
Hodr then spoke out, as he spoke out in a tired voice.
"Well, thing is...I didn't bring the book with me, as it was burned down in my home. What I told you is what little I could remember about it, at least the parts that I know of well. So don't take what I said for granted, and maybe take it as a grain of salt."
Octavia sighed, as she looks at Hodr, and spoke out.
"Well...I think I've had enough fucking history lessons. I think I am almost about to get a migraine."
Then, a voice suddenly spoke out, one that Octavia does not recognize, but Hodr and Loki do.
"Hello, am I interrupting something?"
Octavia turns around, and sees an Ars Goetia having appeared out of nowhere. Hodr looks at the Goetia and spoke out.
"Oh, Hello Phenex."
Phenex looks at Hodr and spoke out.
"Oh, Hodr. It is a pleasure to see you."
Octavia, stunned at the sight of the Goetia that is before her eyes, spoke out.
"Hodr, who is that?"
Hodr looks to Octavia, and spoke out.
"Oh, that's right. You only met Malphas, but not the other Goetia. This is Phenex. He is a Great Marquis of Hell, basically one rank underneath your father. He is a very kind Goetia to be with along with Malphas. Phenex, this is Octavia, the daughter of Stolas."
Phenex smiled, as he goes to Octavia and held his hand out, and he spoke out.
"Hello, Octavia. it is a pleasure to meet you."
Octavia, a little bit uneasy, does speak out.
"Umm...it is nice to meet you, I guess."
Phenex smiled, as he spoke out.
"I must say, you seem very well behaved compared to the other of my Goetia kin. Stolas must have raised you very well into being proper and nice. I'm proud of that Prince."
This made Octavia blink, as she spoke out.
"Wait, you know of my fucking father as well?"
Phenex nodded his head and spoke out.
"Of course. Malphas is not the only one that has known your father for a long time. I too know of him when he was a young boy. He is such a king boy back then, and it seems that some part of his kindness was taught to you from him. No words can describe how proud of him in what he has decided to become."
Octavia looks at Phanex and felt intrigued, as she spoke out.
"Does that mean you taught my father some magic of your own?"
Phenex nodded, as he spoke out.
"Yes, but only in fire and flames. Tell me...has your father taught you fire?"
Octavia nodded her head, and made a small fire that is purple in color. Phenex smiled, as he spoke out.
"Well, how about I teach you what I know, just as I did for your father."
This made Octavia blink, as she spoke out.
"R-Really?"
Phenex smiled and nodded his head to her.
"Of course. After all, I'm sure your father will be happy if he hears that I taught you what I know in my magic. And perhaps, I can teach you poetry and the sciences that I know of. After all, how else would he have liked the stars above?"
Now this made Octavia intrigued, as she always wondered why it is that Stolas was interested in the stars. Octavia thought of it for a little bit, and she then spoke out.
"Well, of fucking course. Show me what you can teach me."
Phenex smiled and seemed excited, as he then spoke out to her.
"Nice! That is what I want to hear!"
Hodr sighed and smiled a little bit, as he spoke out.
"Of course Phenex would act like that. He is always as excitable as a young kid, despite the fact that he is older then a bit of the Goetia."
Loki floats next to Hodr and nodded his head, and spoke out.
"Agreed. I wonder what he will even teach to Octavia in what he knows."
Hodr shrugged, as Loki then spoke out.
"And also...do you also want to visit 'the kid' again, someday."
Hodr looks down, a sad expression present on his face, with the eyes also looking a little bit lifeless and dead from what it is that Loki said. He then shook his head, as he then spoke out.
"I...I'm sure the kid will be fine. Besides, it ain't my business anyway. Those people are already taking care of her."
Loki looks down and nodded his head, before speaking out.
"Okay, if you say so."
Hodr nodded his head, as he then looks at Octavia and Phenex, who began to start their lessons.
"Well...for now, let's see what Phenex and Octavia will do. And hopefully, Phenex and Octavia will get along."
Well, turns out Octavia was indeed able to get along with Phenex, as he is kind and patient, and even encourages Octavia, telling her to believe in herself when she is starting to doubt that she is able to learn and accomplish what she should be able to do, and she is able to learn it. Of course, Hodr does join in a few times and tries to teach her what she should be able to know with his old Grimoire, such as being able to see souls, and possess people, as well as communicate through dreams. It was a little bit difficult for her, but in time, she is able to learn what she is able to know from Hodr and Phenex. And Octavia, she seems to have a very good time worn the both of them. She seems to be very excited a little bit in what she is able to learn, even if she did not express it that much.
Hodr also looked a little bit happy for Octavia, due to what she is able to learn from the Goetia, and even seems to be able to take an interest in Poetry and Science, although not as much as the stars that Stolas has taught her.
"Okay, gotta admit. That was a fucking bloody amazing for me."
Octavia said, as Phenex nodded his head and spoke out to her.
"You said it. You are much more passionate to learn that even your father. Somehow I wonder if this is what you were taught by him, or if you were able to teach yourself to be stubborn in wanting to learn more."
Phenex nodded, as he turns around and spoke out.
"Well, I need to go. Have to attend my duties as a Great Marquis of Hell. Goodbye, Octavia. We will meet again soon."
Phenex then made his Goetia crest appear on the ground, having scorched it underneath his talons, as he vanished into a whirlwind of fire and flames, before he is gone, the grass burned around where the Goetia Sigil once was, as Octavia spoke out.
"Okay, that's admittedly cool."
Then, the sound of laughter is heard, or at least, what sounds like laughter, and both Octavia and Hodr turned to see that it is a pair of foxes, and for some reason, they are making these weird cackling sounds. Octavia looked oddly entranced by them, as she goes to then and began to rub their heads and stomach a bit, as the foxes laughed a little bit more then before, as Hodr spoke out.
"Oh I forgot that these foxes can laugh."
Octavia looks down at the foxes, and spoke out.
"Okay, admittedly, that is fucking adorable."
Hodr sighed, as he spoke out.
"Least I made a spell that prevents them from dumping their waste into the city. I don't want to go all over the please to clean it up."
He also looks around the city and sees all of the fruits and vegetables, even some hybrid fruits that are all over the places and planted allowing them to grow. Hodr did this, as he manage to find some seeds, and plant them into the city, as well as making them unable to be spoiled. That way he can just eat it without problems, as well as plant the seeds of the fruits that he is eating. Of course, he also doesn't just have fruits, he also has vegetables in the city as well.
Hodr sighed, as he spoke out.
"Well...it is nice being with you again, Octavia. Ready to go back?"
Octavia nodded her head, as Hodr then swiped his hand, and made a portal to her room, as Octavia spoke out.
"Hey, thanks for hanging out with me and for...teaching me all of the stuff you know. I always wanted to learn how humans existed in the first place."
Hodr smiled and spoke out.
"It was nothing."
Octavia smiled and walked away, and was a foot in front of him, before she spoke out.
"And also..."
Suddenly, Octavia spun her head around 180 degrees, and before he knew it, Octavia stepped a little bit backwards, and pecked him in the cheek. This made Hodr stop, as Octavia smiled a little mischievous, a pink color formed onto her cheeks, as she goes into the portal, which closed, while she waved the whole time.
Hodr smacked himself in the face, and despite the fact that the peck felt a little bit painful, it also felt good for some reason, and it is making Hodr confused and conflicted and frustrated. Loki appeared beside Hodr, as he then spoke out.
"Are you serious? Did that seriously just happen?"
Hodr looks down, as a red color formed onto his cheek, almost as if it is heating up, as Hodr spoke out.
"I swear...I am gonna die."
Hodr then turns around to the portal, and made a portal to the I.M.P building. And when he did, a portal opened up at the other side. When the portal closed behind him, the 3 Imps came out, and threw some dead bodies onto the ground, including that of a businessman, who has an axe embedded in the back of his skull, the brain of the businessman, or rather the target, was exposed, as Millie ripped it out of the head, and spoke out.
"HAH!!! Now that was a fucking fun bloodbath!!"
Moxxie groaned, as he held onto his face, and spoke out.
"I really don't want to use that spray again. I thought I was gonna get ghost peppers in my eyes."
Blitzø, sounding annoyed, spoke out to him.
"Oh grow some shit, baby wiener!! At least the spray was able to help us in this shit! Serves those cocksuckers right!"
Hodr looks at the imps and the portal closed, as Hodr spoke out.
"I take the sprays worked?"
Blitzø nodded, as he smiled like the idiot he is.
"Yep, they sure work like a fucking charm! Was able to blind some people enough for us to kill them! It is fucking badass! But prune dick seems to not watch what he was doing, because he almost sprayed me on the face with it, as well as himself!"
Hodr sighed, as he spoke out.
"Well, accidents happen."
He then conjured a chair and sat down, as Loona spoke out.
"So, how was it with the Goetia Princess, dumbass?"
Hodr looks at Loona and smiled at her.
"Very pleasant, actually. Even taught her some history in how humans came to be."
Loona raised her eyebrow, if she has any, at Hodr, as she spoke out.
"Really? Well, none of my fucking business anyway."
Loona then made her tail wrap around Hodr's waist, as Hodr looked down at the tail in a weird way. But he decide not to do anything about it, and simply looked at his Grimoire, wondering what else he can do.
"So...via..."
Octavia, now inside of her bedroom with Stolas, is now speaking to her of what it is that Hodr has taught her."
"You are saying that Hodr taught you of the origins in humans?"
Octavia spoke out.
"Yeah, he did. Taught me how god created these 2 humans, Adam and Eve, who got kicked out of this Garden that is the first paradise that he has made, and then spoke to me about Cain, the first son of Adam and Eve making the first Murder in history, as well as becoming an Ancestor of Evil itself."
This made Stolas fascinated, as he spoke out.
"Well, via. That was definitely educational. Even I admit that this is interesting, but more on with Cain, the so-called first murderer. I never thought that one single human can cause the concept of evil to be born, as well as murder as the first evil act to exist in the first place. It is something that intrigued me. I wonder what else he knows."
His 4 eyes then stared at Octavia, and spoke out.
"Do you mind telling me what interests you the most in what it is that Hodr has said?"
Octavia looked down, and spoke out.
"Well, there is one part that made me interested, admittedly. Apparently, Adam had Eve only as a second wife. The first wife was a human, who goes by Lilith."
This made Stolas freeze, as he spoke out.
"Wait, did you say Lilith, as in Lucifer's wife?"
Octavia nodded her head, and she then spoke out.
"Yes, and got casted out from Eden for disobeying Adam, and became the first female demon at some point in the past. Kinda wonder if the Lilith that is Lucifer's wife is the same one from the stories."
Stolas looked at Octavia, and spoke out.
"Well, is there another part that supports that you think?"
Octavia nodded.
"Well...only one other. Apparently, Eve was tricked by a serpent to get these apples from a fucking tree that the big guy upstairs denied them of getting. Hodr believes that it is Lucifer disguised as that Serpent."
Stolas put his hands over his beak, as he began to wonder about what Octavia said.
"Now that I think about it, Lucifer does have an affinity for apples, and Lilith is said to be the oldest female demon to ever exist. It is certainly possibly that these 2 are the same ones from the history lesson that Hodr has told you of. And if that is the case, I wonder why Lucifer never told us of this history in the first place."
Stolas then looked to the side, as he spoke out.
"But...perhaps I best not think of that. What I am curious of is this Cain individual you spoke of. I wonder if he is out there somewhere, and if so...what is he like...and how strong is he compared to the other sinners?"
Octavia shrugged, as Stolas then spoke out.
"But for now...Octavia...I think it is a very interesting history lesson that Hodr has spoke to you of. Perhaps some lessons might be useful for you someday."
Octavia looks down and nodded, and spoke out.
"Maybe."
They then went outside of the room, and sees the Imps cleaning all over the place, due to the tantrums that Stella had done, and luckily, she is gone, as she had went somewhere else, as Stolas spoke out.
"Anyway...do you want to go to that Occult place again?"
Octavia looks up at Stolas, and smiled a little bit, as she nodded her head.
"Yeah, I think I want to do so as well."
Stolas smiled, as he spoke out.
"Then, let's go there, my sweet Via."
