Chapter 50:

A fitting punishment

The angelic court, heaven:

..

..

"If the high seraphim could step forth please" a melodic, yet booming voice spoke up as Sera would approach and step into the light as in the balconies around her, 7 radiant, powerful angels sat…..the 7 virtues….

The 6 winger angel would bow "Your radiance…" before cocking her head slightly "May I ask, what is the occasion for this meeting? Why did you summon me?"

The 7 angels would exchange knowing glances, seemingly communicating without uttering a single word "we are here to evaluate your behavior?"

Her face a combination of confusion and shocked surprise, the high seraphim began to stutter and stumble "M-my behavior?! But, y-your radiance, the exterminations were cancelled and the traitor Lute was cast down. I've done everything in my power to take accountability and mend my mistakes. Hell and the heavenly realm are at peace, I don't understand, i…."

One of the virtues, a more feminine looking angel would clear her throat, getting Sera's attention as she spoke up "Is it true that about roughly a year ago, a human soul by the name of Ashley Brooks set foot in the heavenly realm?"

Looking more confused then ever, Sera spoke "Uhm, yes? Very likely, there are ALLOT of souls named Ashley here in heaven"

Another virtue interjected "That is very interesting, because we see a "Ashley brooks" in the ledgers, but this soul seems completely absent from the heavenly realm"

Sera wracked her brain over the accusations as the middle one of the virtues spoke again "St.Peter, as a first-hand witness, if you would be so kind to re-tell the story of what happened to Ashley Brooks?"

As his name was mentioned, the blonde angel who normally watched over heaven's gates entered the room with a thick, golden book under his arm as he put it down, opened it and began to flip through the pages "Ah yes, Ashley Brooks" as he began to recall the events of that day.

As the 1st saint began to tell his tale, Sera's face fell as he jogged her memory and she began to remember the human soul who she so unceremoniously kicked out….."Oh…."that" Ashley Brooks…."

The middle of the virtues would rub his brow "Sera….we are deeply disappointed….sure, this soul's methods were…..a tad uncouth but no serious offense was made….." as the other 6 virtues nodded in agreement.

Feeling a boiling dread bubble up in her stomach, her face paled as the middle of the virtues would gesture with his hand "Silence your fears, high seraphim, you won't be cast out…." Causing Sera to sigh in relieve "….BUT….." Which caused her to flinch….. "We do believe a punishment is in order….one befitting the crime….a lesson in humility needs to be learned here…."

The twisting knots of anxiety once again wrapped itself around the 6 winged angel's chest as she tried to get her breathing under control "A-and…..w-what might that be, your radiance?"

Gaining a smile, the virtue spoke "you shall humor this woman…..and fulfill 1 request…"

Sera would stutter and stumble "W-what? Surely you can't be serious?" To which the virtue chuckled "We are….….you shall allow the human soul known as Ashley Brooks to take you on a date….ONE date…." As another virtue would add "Whatever you choose to do on this date is completely up to you, but you shall treat this soul with dignity, compassion and respect"

Sera stood there, face blank as she tried to process the sentence she just received.

"…Y-your radiance….pardon my language, but WHAT THE FUCK?!"

..

..

Ashley's penthouse, pride ring, hell:

..

..

"I still can't believe this is actually happening" Ashley laughed to herself as she gave herself one last look over in the mirror.

Velvette would join her as she hugged her from behind "Well do you want me to read the official letter from heaven again?" as the 2 of them couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all.

In about an hour, the 2 of them were going to go on a daten with the high seraphim, as part of her punishment for casting Ashley down…..even saying it out loud sounded surreal.

And as the 2 demonesses arrived at the heaven embassy not long after, they were greeted by the tall form of the high seraphim, who was rubbing her temples in frustration.

"Hey tall, dark and sexy" Ashley joked, smirking as she saw Sera giving her a look of discomfort before receiving a flick on the wrist and asmirk from her partner "Babe, behave"

"Oh come on, that teasing is nothing compared to what she did to me. Do I have to remind you?" Ashley piped up.

Sera was dressed, not in her usual robes, but a dark blue dress with light blue accents and golden details while it sported exposed shoulders. It was elegant, yet modest while still flattering her figure.

She wore her hair in a high ponytail, tho it still easily reached to her lower back.

"Uhg….let's just….get this over with…." She grumbled under her breath as she held onto a purse which was in a similar style.

"Hu, you don't sound too thrilled" Ashley spoke "Funny, the way you dressed suggests otherwise" to which the high seraphim would grumble out "Isn't it customary to dress for the occasion? I'm following the conditions of my punishment…." After which, she muttered the next part under her breath "…and what a punishment it is indeed….."

This apparently didn't go by the anarchy demon unheard as she quipped back "Eh well the night's not over yet, it's only just begun" causing even more grumbling from the tall, 6 winged angel as Velvette would giggle at the constant teasing before speaking "We decided to spare you the horrors of dealing with a dive bar and chose a more classy establishment in the Goetia district"

This caught the seraphim's attention "The Goetia district? Isn't that area reserved for demon royalty?"

Ashley just shrugged "Eh, anyone is welcome as long as they have the money. And luckily for you, neither me nor my babygirl here lack in that department" as she playfully nuzzled the short demoness in her neck, who would giggle "Babe, not here, we're in public"

The 2 would exchange a quick peck as around this time, a luxurious looking car would roll up, to which Velvette smiled at their angelic company "Our ride is here"

Sera raised her brows as she was met with the different luxuries "I see you're doing well for yourself after being cast down?" to which Ashley gave her a smug smile "Perks of being an overlord who owns property"

..

..

A little while after, the luxurious vehicle would pull up to a ornate building as the chauffeur got out and opened the passenger doors, allowing the 3 women to step out.

"We have arrived" Velvette smiled as she gestured to the imposing building before them "Welcome to "The grail of sin", only the finest jazz club in the entire pride ring. Anyone who is "somebody" come here" as they approached the entrance.

It seemed the club had 2 sections, where the lower section was open to the public, albeit the more "well off" demons. Velvette however had led the 3 of them to an elevator in the back, in front of which stood a tall, imposing hellhound in a suit, guarding what appears to be a velvet rope, barring off the elevator from the rest of the club.

Eyeing up the trio, the hound simply stepped aside, unclipped the rope and gave a affirming nod "Miss Velvette, Miss Fortune, welcome to the grail of sin" as the 3 of them were allowed to step inside as they made their way to the rooftop section of the club.

Once Sera stepped out of the elevator, she couldn't help but feel…..uneasy…..everyone here knew EXACTLY who she was…..

She would shuffle around uncomfortably, following her company as several bird like demons would look at her with intrigue….the Ars Goetia….the upper crust of hell's society…..the only demons above them were the 7 sins themselves and the Morningstar family.

She was quickly snapped out of her thought by a very loud and cheerful Ashley going "STOLAAAAS, fancy seeing you. How've you been? It's been ages" as she was currently in the middle of hugging a tall, owl like demon "Oh well….plicated…." to which Ashley smiled "Still seeing that imp? What's his name again?" tho after seeing the owl demon wince, she quickly dropped the subject as Stolas spoke up "I'd….prefer….not to talk about it….sensitive subject…"

Furrowing her brow in worry, she put a hand on the owl demon's arm "Oh shit….you alright Stolas?"

The tall owl demon took a deep breath "….let's….change the subject…" he quickly blurted out before straightening his back as he elegantly bowed "May I just say, it's a pleasure to meet the high seraphim herself"

Being pleasantly surprised by the tall demon's politeness, she returned the gesture "My, thank you, sir"

They would bump into several more prominent figures during the night, at one point even sharing a drink with the angelic arms dealer, Carmilla Carmine before they ended up at a private table, close to a small, round stage, an old timey microphone stand propped up as a single spotlight lit the stage.

"Ladies, gentlemen and all different configurations of being…..please put your hands together for the overlord of blood, the red empress….. the alluring….the mysterious….and the dangerous…..Ink" a announcer spoke up as a small, red curtain opened and a tall, slender figure sauntered its way onto the stage.

"Pro tip, don't let "her" get too close" Ashley leaned into Sera as she whispered, gesturing to the tall, elegant, yet imposing demoness.

Her hands were enormous, slightly bigger then those of Carmine, tho they sported, long, spindly, razor sharp claws. A long, flowy black dress hugged her figure, a high cut in the side, allowing her leg to stick out, both of which ended in sharp points.

She was tall….almost freakishly tall….

Her hair was long and as her namesake, black as ink as her face sported a wide, sharp fanged smile as 8 red eyes covered her face.

As the announcer had stated before, she indeed looked both beautiful, and yet, dangerous.

"I see we're in the presence angelic royalty tonight" the tall demoness smiled, her voice sensual and smooth as butter "This one….is for you…." As what came next. Sera could only describe as liquid gold being poured directly into her ears…..

..

..

Several songs and even more drinks later and Sera was well on her way of feeling the effects of the alcohol.

Sure, there was wine in heaven, but it was not as strong as the stuff from the human world, and even that didn't hold a candle to the MUCH stronger alcohol served in hell as Sera's rational decision making was getting worse and worse.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Sera" Ashley said in a slightly worried tone, all the while Velvette was filming the whole ordeal with a big smirk on her face "Come on, girl, chug, chug, chug" to which Ashley interjected "BABE, DON'T ENCOURAGE HER" turning her face to the shorter demoness for a minute as the seraphim was in the process of bringing a large glass of beelzejuice to her lips.

As the shark sinner returned her gaze, she would stare in horror at an empty glass "You…..downed the whole thing…..do you even know how fucking strong that shit is?!" Ashley yelped, but when she looked up, she stared into the half lidded, vacant stare of a now VERY drunk Sera….

"Vel…..we got the high seraphim shitfaced…..what have we done…."

..

..

The heaven embassy, next day, pride ring, hell:

..

..

The streets of pentagram city were full with the usual bustle of sinners as the singsong voice of Charlie Morningstar rang out, handing out flyers to passing sinners, a process which, since heaven backing her hotel, has become much easier as not far away, her partner, Vaggie would gaze upon the scene with an adoring smile.

They would be temporarily distracted by an unusual sight.

"Sera?!" they called out in unison as the high seraphim could be seen, speed walking towards the large, golden building with a blank face and an intense golden blush over her cheeks, all the while followed suit by Ashley and Velvette, both sporting the biggest smirk one could only describe as a "shit-eating grin"

Once the tall, mocha skinned angel reached the building's front doors, she turned to the 2 demonesses "it seems the conditions of the "punishment" were met" she said, tho as she held her head up high, her high collar would slip down ever so slightly, revealing black lipstick marks in her neck.

Seeing this, Velvette gave her partner a joking elbow nudge as Ashley smirked, while gesturing to her own neck "You uhm….. missed a spot this morning" causing the 6 winged angel to blush even more intensely and the princess and her partner to stare at the scene, mouths agape and eyes wide, completely dumbfounded.

Realizing her error, Sera quickly pulled the collar of her robes up high as, with a face deeply gold, she would blurt out "let's never speak of this again!" as she quickly disappeared into the embassy.

As the princess and the former exorcist stood there, not believing what they just saw, Vaggie finally would break the tension "Ashley, WHAT THE FUCK did you do?!" to which the shark overlord smirked.

"It's not really a what…more a "who"…."
