Helluva Loud Adventures.
"Unlocking some hellhound secrets."

(May 4. Royal Woods Library.)

Here we are, the library from which everyone goes to for something to read and enjoy, and the folks walking towards it are, Lincoln, Luna and Jordan. They are here for something they need to look into, and they walk by Lisa, Caroline Linnaeus and Agnes Johnson as they are checking out some books.

The group is now inside and they look around the place and then Lincoln speaks. "Alright, so we all know what to do, right?" asked Lincoln. They all nod. "Good, now split up and find anything about hellhound history and other demonics and stuff. When you guys do find something, meet by the tables."

They all agree and so they all begin to split up and look for what they need, and then Lincoln heads to the ancient history area, and then he recaps why they are here. 'The best way for us to know more about the bloodline of our mom and why her blood seems strong is here, if we can figure something out then this'll show that the bloodline of another hellhound from long ago is continuing within myself and Luna.'

'A damn shame that Tannins couldn't be of much help, but she is needed for something involving Putin and something about hacking his country to stop an upcoming possible invasion. You know, it wouldn't surprise me if someone hired us to kill that damned man, that would be awesome and I would enjoy peelin the skin off of his stupid ass face.'

'But if we cannot find what we seek here, then we're gonna need to try and ask some others. Alrighty then, time to find out more about our mom and who her ancient ancestors might be.'

(A few minutes later.)

We now see the group are back with several books and all of them are so clustered with what they have been reading and then Sam closes the book she has been reading. "This is the last book I brought here, and nothing still."

Jordan also closes the book she was reading. "I got nothing too, all this book has is about the day when Lucifer fell from heaven and was sent to hell and I feel bad for him and the other angels who were with him when it all went down."

"No kidding, dude." Luna then puts her book away. "We have been goin through this whole library and we haven't found anything of good use to try and know more about the whole demonic origins of the hellhound blood from which our mom once came from."

Lincoln on the other hand ignores them and he digging deep into the book he found, which is called "The stories and tales of demons from the past." this gets the attention from the others and they are confused at Lincoln who is still reading the book, then luna asks. "Bro? What have you got there?"

Lincoln then tells them. "This is the book from which we have been looking for guys, this book is what we have sought out and possibly, this can help us learn more about the bloodline of our mom, Loona."

This surprises them and then Jordan asks. "Well, what information is there about hellhounds?"

Lincoln then reads to them. "A Hellhound is a supernatural dog in folklore that originates from the Underworld. A wide variety of ominous or hellish supernatural dogs occur in mythologies around the world. The Hellhound has been seen several times throughout history, and it is not specific to any one place, but they are commonly associated with graveyards and the underworld. The most recent sightings occurred in Connecticut, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio, and Vilseck, Germany, in or near cemeteries."

"While considered a bad omen, the hellhound has often helped many as well. The supernatural dog was said to warn people of danger and protect them when they needed it. The dog is often very loyal to those who call upon one and is said to be very watchful. While the creatures are often known as evil, they are not as evil as one would suggest. For example, the Welsh "Cwn Annwn" (Hounds of the Welsh Underworld) were actually believed to be benign. However, encountering them was still considered a sign of imminent death."

"Seeing a hellhound or hearing one howl may be an omen or even a cause of death. Hellhounds are called The Bearers of Death because they were supposedly created by ancient demons to serve as heralds of death. According to legend, seeing one leads to a person's death. Sometimes it is said to be once; other times it requires three sightings for the curse to take effect and kill the victim. These factors make the Hellhound a feared symbol of bad things that are about to happen."

"They often get assigned to guard the entrances to the world of the dead, such as graveyards and burial grounds or undertake other duties related to the afterlife or the supernatural. Hellhounds not only are guards for cemeteries but they are often seen as helper dogs for those who are about to pass. But they also can show up to said loved ones and sort of inform them or a loved one's passing."

"Hellhounds have been said to be as black as coal and smell of burning brimstone. They tend to leave behind a burned area wherever they go. Their eyes are a deep, bright, and almost glowing red. Other features that have been attributed to hellhounds include glowing red - or sometimes yellow - eyes, razor sharp teeth, super strength or speed, ghostly or phantom characteristics, foul odor, and sometimes even the ability to talk. In cultures that associate the afterlife with fire, hellhounds may have fire-based abilities and appearance."

"While most pictures show the Hellhound as being evil and vicious, this is simply not the case. Hellhounds do not have to be evil looking or scary looking. They can look like any large dog only with pure black fur."

They are all surprised to hear this. "Dang, that sure is something. Well, that sounded like some kind of history lesson on what we should know, are you gonna borrow the book little bro?"

Lincoln nods, and then he closes the book. "Yes, yes I am and we need to show this towards mom and to someone we need to discuss this to." He then looks towards Sam and Jordan. "Thanks for helping us, you girls don't have to be part of this anymore. We can settle the rest soon when Lunes and I have to...'

"Nope, we're gonna tag along" replied Jordan. "We wanna help out since we feel like we are a part of this family, Silva Hound. Don't think we're gonna take your words into serious. We're not gonna sit at the sidelines and let you guys just gallivant right off."

Sam nods. "Jordan is right, no way can we sit this out." She then crosses her arms and this makes Lincoln and Luna smirk.

"We got ourselves the toughest and awesome girlfriends, huh little bro?"

"No kidding there, sis." He then readies the book. "Let's check this book out of here, and then head back home. Mom will be messaged about this, and Blitzo might be told about this. Dang shame Verosika Mayday isn't at the house."

They then make their way for the librarian to check out this book, and then Luna speaks. "Well, she has to be ready for the small musical tour this May, but she did say she'll be back around the last week of May, so that's gonna be a thing."

Sam then asks. "Linc, earlier you said you guys need to ask someone."

Jordan recalls. "Yeah, what the heck did you mean by that, Linc?"

Lincoln then checks out the book and then they head out of the library and then Lincoln explains to them. "The book spoke further about who we need to turn to so we can be able to learn more about the olden times of the hellhounds, because apparently there is so much more the books don't inform about hellhounds and what else they do."

"We need to speak to a demon or demon lord who has been around during the olden days of war, conflict and darkness. So, we could either speak with Lucifer, or we head off to speak with someone who is royal and yet not as powerful as Lucifer."

Luna knows who he means. "Ars Goetia. Now that does make sense, alright then. Let's head off home, show this to the others and then make the plan to speak with the feathery royal dudes."

Lincoln nods. "Come on, we got a book to show to mom and the others, and... Wait, we'll need to show this to the others later in the day, Lucy is busy with something else. Remember?"

Luna then recalls. "Yeah, a meeting with her friends again and..." They then hear the sound of Luna's phone and she sees who it's from. "Delilah, we got another gig dudes. Let's see what this is all about." They all come over and see what the text message is all about.

Client:
Robbie Brenton – A 28 year old office worker and an engaged man who was once addicted to chocolate to the point of stealing it, but has served his time and is trying to change his ways. He was killed after he saved his fiancé from some sick stalker by getting shot in the head, though the stalker has been caught and recognized, he escaped and is on the loose.

Target:
Scott Markus – 29 year old man stalking folks, mostly beautiful women so he can rape them. He has been heard of and called the stalking rapist creep, but he has never been caught until now, and he's escaped.

Results:
He is a strong person, and luring him with women would work, but first you need to find out where he lives because no one knows his hideout. Kill this man, and crucify his soul, double pay for if the recording has been given to the client.

"Dang, looks like we got our work caught up dude" replied Luna.

"We can do this tonight and then make sure this dumbass is dead for good" replied Lincoln. Jordan and Sam are both thinking, that they wanna be part of this too. After all, they don't wanna be on the sidelines and be part of some of the stuff they do.

"To be continued in the next chapter folks!

A/N: They have the book, and they have read some of the history, but they need to know more and who else than the Ars Goetia, and thanks to "Avenger44" for the idea of the target and client. I hope you all enjoyed reading this new chapter folks!
