Thread: Hell's Progeny  -::-Haru & Parkway-::-

Viola approached the Fortress. She could feel souls she did not know. This concerned her...yet the watchmen were not alarmed. Landing in the courtyard she looked around to assess her surroundings. Slowly she walked up the steps to the entrance way and the door opened Des greeted her, followed quickly by Mei. Ladies, where are my Lords? She addressed the two succubus'. Her voice oddly silky. Her hand caressed Mei beautiful radiant red hair. They are in the study M'Lady. Let me take you there. The lower demon said to her mistress. No...please not yet. Des, let them both know I have arrived but I need a few hours to rest. Show me to my bed chamber Mei and draw my bath. I want to look my best for them. Des nodded but neither succubus felt comfortable telling the volatile commander all that had been going on. She hurried off for the study. Mei brought Viola upstairs. Where the demon felt the heavy presence of doom. She looked at Mei who said nothing, just lowered her eyes and rushed to the door that would be Viola's bed chamber. Here we are Mistress. I'll get your bath ready. Someone else was near. No...no...more than one...? No..not right...damn! What was going on here! She was tried and before losing her temper she decided to let it go for now. Once she rested and bathed she would sit with her Lords. ---------------------- Viola smiled when she heard the voice. Abigor. I thought I told Des... Stop Viola, she did let us know but I wanted to give you some updates. He strolled over and pet Mei going over to the small sitting area. He gestured for Viola to sit while Mei continued to ready the bath. Viola followed sitting across him giving her full attention. He seemed serious yet casual. What is it Abigor, is all well with our plan? She began to feel that familiar anger towards the faceless entities that she reasoned held her back. Abigor felt her anger build and he placed a calming hand on hers. Easy Viola...easy. Our Plan is fine. But you should know I had a few spies warn me of a charge so I am taking leave first thing in the morning to the western lines. I expect you to stay here and protect the fortress. As he spoke his grip on her hand tightened. Her breathing increased. How could they have gotten wind of this? Who betrayed us? She hissed through client he teeth as Abigor's powerful dark magic held her in place for if not she would have been in a tear through the Fortress. Viola! His voice was a low snarl. Menacing even. Mei felt it and accidentally spilled some of the water on the floor. Viola felt his power and knew he meant it. She was furious! Never more was she going to bow to others. Never. He knew her thoughts and her ideas to overcome the weakening she saw all around her. No, she would not bow ever again. Abigor knew having Viola had advantages to their cause but also volatile. Before he left her he cast a little black magic to calm her wrecked nerves. He also cast another so that at all times he could feel her where abouts. He trusted her...yet with whom he surmised was coming things could go to ruin quickly. Viola was a power hungry demon the crown was a symbol of the power she craved. When she had first approached him with her idea he had balked but now he saw how cunning she could be. He was counting on her being overcome by the forces being sent here and perhaps a deal being struck. He walked to his own room. He needed to collect his things and head out. Why wait until morning, hed go now. His last thoughts were on Viola, either she would survive the ordeal and come out on top or be killed. He had been warned, ordered to have her here. Abigor did what he needed and left. Viola was soaking in the bath when she stepped out and wrapped herself in a sheet. Still fuming at being left to protect this fortress. The idea had been hers! She should be the one in battle. She laid on the bed and exhaustion claimed her.
