Chapter 6 - Chapter 6

Chloe is trying to figure out what makes Lucifer tick and why his visits to Earth are becoming less and less frequent also whatever he seemed to be searching for he has either stopped looking for it or he has found it now he has since stopped coming upto Erth altogether which concerns her as she can't go to Hell no matter how hard she has tried over the years the last time she saw him was during Roman times now it's 1422 it's been several thousands of years since she has seen him she is in Italy helping out the Borgia family survive being assassinated from their enemies in Spain and moving to Italy.

Meanwhile Vlad 2 Dracul is traveling to Transylvania in secret he's heard of a family of magic users who can help him with the Turks so he makes it to Transylvania he meets with Valerious the Elder who's apprehensive about this meeting not knowing what it's about his answer is soon to be had when Vlad 2 Dracul shows up along with a handful of men they get off of their horses exchange pleasantries have lunch together they Valerious asks why have you come here Vlad says I need your help in doing a spell he hands Valerious the spell he reads it then says no i won't do it Vlad asks why not Vlaerious says this is a spell to summon a demon on top of that it's so vague that you could be summoning any number of demons or any type of demon for that matter.

Vlad says i don't care my country is being invaded my wife is pregnant with my second child my first has already been taken by them no more I don't care what it costs or who I'm summoning I'm tired of having my country bowing to foreign invaders and let's not forget that Wallachia and Transylvania are all apart of Romania so they will eventually come for you Valerious says fine I will help you and I can fix your spell so that you don't just summon any random demon but an upper level demon that has human intelligence Vlad asks what do you need because I only have the ingredients for the spell I brought with me Valerious asks what ingredients did you bring with you Vlad says I brought :

Mug-wort

Sage

Witch hazel

Belladonna

Yarrow

Poppy

Mandrake

Garlic

Mountain Ash

Mistletoe

Nightshade

Vervain

Wolves bane

Chalk

Incense 

Candles

Crystals

After seeing his ingredients he's shocked at how through Vlad is and at how paranoid he is as he almost has every herb in Europe but that's a good thing as they almost have everything that they need all that they are missing is a spot to do it in he takes Vlad to an abandoned church that's been the sight of several killings and several magic rituals over the centuries so it has been steeped in blood and magic the valley of the church is completely barren but the area surrounding it is thriving also every surrounding village but the one the church is in is prospering Vlad can't believe what he was seeing on their way to the church so they go inside and see that people are already inside doing a ritual Vlaerious ignores them he goes to the basement takes the chalk begins carving the magic circle as well as the runes to summon the demon he wants not realizing that he's already made a huge mistake.

Vlad combines every herb together with the mountain ash and incense then puts the candles around the circle as directed he also puts extra incense and herb bundles on a stand in a pentagram surprising Valerious he asks why did you do that it wasn't part of the ritual Vlad says yes it was once every other preparation is done and they begin chanting Vlad lights the candles steps into the circle and cuts his palm again surprising Valerious but doesn't stop the ritual also he places the crystals in the circle's outer ring as well as a drop of blood on each crystal then chants a chant of his own once the crystals hum he steps out of the circle upstarirs there are 5 other rituals going on each one trying to summon something else but each thing is alot less powerful than what Vlad just summoned as the crystals stole all of their magic from their spells their life force as soon as they cut their palms and channeled their ingredients to work for Vlad's spell.

As this was happening halfway across the world Chloe senses a huge surge in magic power being used as well as who's it being used on she's about to rush over there and stop it when a powerful force stops her instead and brings her to Heaven she's shocked to see it pearly gates fluffy clouds silver city in the distance but in front of her is Selena she asks why did you stop me Selena says I didn't he did she points to her husband God she sees an old man who only looks like he's 55 but also has grey hair with a ridiculously long grey beard down to his chest with a flowing white grey gold and silver robes Chloe says you better have good reason for stopping me and oh I checked this law passed by you gods it never says anything about angels or the supernatural helping humans just that we keep our powers secret from them.

god chuckles then says reason I stopped you is because you're not meant to stop his bad behavior or cleanup after it you're meant to keep his evil in check when he finally decides to stay on Earth Chloe gets a tick mark on her forehead then asks what's the point of my powers and existence if you're not going to use it properly God raises an eyebrow at her outburst not expecting that as he just expected her to roll over and do her duty Chole says don't even try the line that there's millions of women who would be happy to have my powers and my job no they wouldn't not when they learn that it comes at the expense of not having any free will and being a sex toy for the devil God growls then says you're treading on dangerous ground Amara appears with Aphrodite then they both growl at him he gets annoyed that his plans are being ruined.

Amara says this wasn't the plan brother she was supposed to agree to it on her own not with you trying to influence her also she has a right to be upset we are asking her to give up her life to curb Lucifer's rage against you Aphrodite says also this covenant was put into place so we couldn't interfere with beings like Chloe only teach them advise them and help them when they are in trouble we can save their lives but we must make sure not to show that we are doing it if they are on Earth God sighs then nods in agreement he leaves but he takes his frustrations out on the weather of Earth.

Chloe says not that I'm not glad to see you guys but why are you guys keeping me here Amara says because over the centuries Lucifer has been creating countless creatures tonight I finally was able to reach through using my powers as he too has them and he's creating another creature tonight as to what kind I have no idea just that it will change the world forever and it will strengthen him considerably as to how much we don't know but we do know this after tonight he only needs to create 2 more creatures then he will be unstoppable.

Back on Earth the final stroke of midnight hit everywhere but in the church purple flames black wind and red electricity gathered in the room scaring the humans there especially Valerious once the light show is over Lucifer is standing in the circle making both men freeze in their tracks as they weren't expecting to summon the devil himself Lucifer doesn't say anything at first because his mind is reading the dead bodies up above he's stealing their memories knowledge and how to speak their language Lucifer looks at the two men in front of him he asks why have you two summoned me Vlad says we didn't mean to summon you we meant to summon a general a duke or some higher level demon with intelligence.

Lucifer sighs then looks down at their handiwork he says you messed up entirely this ritual not to mention the amount of herbs and crystals used plus the fact that you saturated the whole building in their magic and blood tells me that you heard what others have done and took it a step further Vlad says it's true I did tamper with the ritual to bring you here because I nned a favor from you Lucifer quirks an eyebrow then asks what is it that you want he says I want the strength to free my people Lucifer nods then he does a spell of his own he stops Vlads heart with a touch takes some blood then mixes it with all of the blood in this valley as well as the magic it returns to what it was.

He feeds it to Vlad he wakes up a changed man except now that he has claws fangs and a hunger for blood Lucifer says Iv'e given you amny powers that you will discover on your own but as always nature must have a balance he turns to Valerious then says I have strengthened you as well you have come from a long line of hunters destined to hunt Vampires Valerious says that's just a myth they don't exist Lucifer says actually other than demons and a few other creatures they were among the first creatures to walk the Earth it's just countless things over the centuries have brought them to near extinction not counting your new friend here there are 200 vampires left in the world.

Valerious is shocked that they still exist but doesn't say anything Lucifer says your job is simple keep them from getting past the number of 6,000 and hide their kills as best as you can from the world Valerious agrees Lucifer says also only the worst of the worst can be killed not those who got caught feeding on a human or got so caught up in their new bodies that they accidentally kill someone Valerious agrees Lucifer hands him a scroll then says this has all of their weaknesses on it but none of their strengths.

1690 Salem women are being hunted just for speaking their mind and being killed by the hundreds one of them performs a centuries old ritual to summon the Devil out in the middle of nowhere with no idea that Chloe is watching them Lucifer appears instead of scaring them he can taste their fear he asks why are you all so afraid that you would risk death to summon me a girl who's no older than 15 with cherry red hair freckles on her face and green eyes says because no matter what we do we're dead anyways atleast with you we know where we stand Lucifer asks what year is it she says 1690 he growls then says you fools have no idea what you have just done their not just killing women just because you have brains they think that you are witches or demons.

They get a hopeful look in their eyes Lucifer says no not again I'm getting involved with this stuff again besides 3 years isn't enough time to teach you all enough to defend yourselves he sees that they won't back down then says fine it's your funeral he gives every woman in Salem magic along with a book on how to use it then leaves after he does so Chloe shows up the redhead who's name is Abby turns to her then asks are you sure that he's supposed to be evil he seems to nice Chloe says that's what I was told but maybe he's not as evil as I've been led to believe she trains them to survive the coming times as well as how to use their magic properly.

1779 Sleepy Hollow a Hessian mercenary was fighting against several soldiers but got knocked off his horse there was two many to fight so he fled to the woods he's trying to find a place to hide but he can't find any place while fleeing he comes across 2 little girls both collecting fire wood in the Western Woods he puts a finger to his lips shushing them but one of them breaks a stick she was holding while the other looks on as he fights against 20 men he takes down most of them until only 5 remain he could have kept fighting but he was too wounded and they chopped his head off with his own sword the little girl swears her soul to Satan if he would raise the Hessian from the grave for her once she turns 16.

Lucifer appears before her then asks did you mean what you said about your soul she nods he says then I will give you 20 years of life and revenge when you finally die so does he and when that happens you will be his bride she grabs Lucifer's hands then asks will he look just like he did the day he died Lucifer quirks an eyebrow then asks did you find him attractive she says yes I did please restore him to how he was but without those teeth of his and I will not only marry him but bear his children Lucifer chuckles then says he'll be happy to know that also he only serves you if anybody else tries to impersonate him or tries to use him kill them immediately he gives her a necklace to see those things and a ring that he puts on her finger he says if you marry anyone else this ring will kill you she asks what if I need to for money.

Lucifer says you can seduce anyone you want except the Van Tassels as they will be needed to help this place through the hard times to follow she nods with that he leaves after that night Lucifer wasn't seen or heard from again he would occasionally pop up on Earth over the years but he would stay out of things right now he's traveling through Egypt just because he's bored and head of Hamunaptra he reaches the fabled city but comes across his Aunt Amara she says turn back leave this place alone he quirks an eyebrow then says I wasn't going to do anything just explore she says I know but someone with our powers doesn't need to do anything to awaken something here.

She says take my hand I want to show you something interesting anyway he does so and she takes him to the Straits of Gibraltar or the pillars of Hercules he is mesmerized by what he is seeing she says in the ancient world this is where the world ends pointing to where there's a huge drop off that seems to have no end in sight he asks is it still considered that she says honestly Idk the world has changed so much since then next she takes him to the red desert he is in awe of the things he is seeing then she says once you get tired of hell feel free to stay up here there is so much to see and if your father tries to stop you know that I always am on your side he hugs her.
