Path of Night

Welcome to Hell - part II

You have a choice, and after that, you will have more and more. But be careful. Once you made your choice, you can't go back to pick another.

It took us nearly two hours to find the ingredients for the ritual. If you are asking why am I not participating in the quest for Regalia, I am simply waiting for Sabrina, or Caliban, to take the silver. I have my ways of knowing when they are close to the entrance of the Pandemonium. I will just wait and take it in the end. Right now, Dorian and I have to finish this ritual before Lucifer finds out.

"Ready Sephone?"
"Ready."

We both took a knife and made a small cut on the others left hand. We took each other hand and started chanting.

-Nos obligamus nos in sanguinem
Nos obligamus nos in vitam
Nos obligamus nos usque in sempiternum
Donec mors nos separaverit-

Bright red light surrounded us and it disappeared after a second. I was so happy. I don't remember the last time I smiled like this.

BANG!

But of course... The door of, my?, room flew open.

"What in the name of nine circles was that?"
"My L..."
"Don't you say another word, Mr. Gray...."

I decided to step in, it's not like he would kill us, right?

"We performed the wedding by blood."

He was silent. That terrified us more than him yelling, but I tried to stay composed. He was looking one second at me, and one second at Dorian. It felt like hours, before he said 'Alright', and left.

"What just happened?"
"I think that he is ok with it."
"Not that I'm not grateful, but, uhm, why?"
"I have no idea. I have to go now, Dorian. Sabrina is close to the Pandemonium entrance with Juda's silver."
"I should probably get back to the living world. See you at the coronation."

******

I made my way to the Pandemonium entrance without being seen, which wasn't that hard. Everyone was in the Hall of Pandemonium, so...

"Hello, Sabrina."
"Calisa! What are you doing here? How are you here?"
"That isn't important, what is, is you giving me the silver."
"And why would I do that?"
"Come on, Sabrina! Ok, let me tell you something Lucifer lied to you, all of you. You aren't his daughter. I am. And that crown and the throne are mine. So, you can give me the silver and go back to Aunties."
"I can't."
"What do you mean, you can't?"
"I... uhm.."
"Spill it!"
"Because I am already there."

What does she mean? How can she... Oh. Oh!

"Sabrina you idiot! You created a time paradox?!"
"Cool!"
"Not cool! Do you know what you did? Who am I kidding, of course you don't. Now listen to me. You have three options here: the first two end up with you turned into stone, or killed, and the third one is you give me the silver, and you go back up there and try to fix what you caused."

There was a lot of talking and convincing, but she gave me the silver and left. I guess this is it. I opened the Pandemonium doors and everyone was looking at me. I hate attention, did I mention that before? No? Ok. I hate being the center of attention! I placed the silver in its place, and when some demon asked about the crown, I just turned to face everyone as I carefully took off the ring on my finger. The ring was the crown, the real crown, Dorian gave it back to me when we finished the ritual.

The preparation for the coronation started and I specifically asked for Lilith NOT to be anywhere near me for that time. I need to think of some way to get rid of her. I usually wouldn't care, but now I do. She wants the throne, to be queen, and I can't let her have it. It's not that I want it, I mean, I do, but not that much. But, I have nowhere to go. If I go back to the Academy, Zelda will kill me, and I have no one, and nowhere else to go. Dorian's bar is a part of Academy, and I can bet that Zelda will be extra careful around there. So, all I have is Hell, ironic when you think about it.

As I made my way to the balcony, I kept thinking only about one thing. Like it or not, this is my home now. As demons cheered, saying my and Lucifer's name, I could hear only one thing ringing inside my head. I knew that voice all too well, Lucifer said only one sentence, but it stayed ringing in my mind:

"Welcome to Hell.....My Queen."

A/N Ok, so the spell used is in Latin and the translation is below. Now, this is the end of Part III of the series. It will take me some time to write the next chapters because it will mostly be something that isn't in the show. Hope you like the story so far.

- We bind ourselves in blood
We bind ourselves in life
We bind ourselves forever
Until death separates us -
