《Empress' Evolution》62. Childhood
Advertisement
Drowsy and having a splitting headache, Lilith was in a state of hangover.
Currently, she was sitting on top of a tree trying to get over the fact that she got hammered drinking wine, WINE of all things.
"Damn it, that thing was pretty strong." She had to cast Earth's Grace and lighten up her headache and then transform into a Tribulation Leopard and summon a block of ice and some water.
She has had not experienced a hangover for such a long time that the feeling had become foreign. Raising her head and looking over at the moon, Lilith could not believe that such a thing was happening.
"Damn, I didn't even realize living as a daemon is going to be this really interesting. I got to meet the creator of all life, the one being who gave birth to the other Gods (the Seraphs), and most importantly, I got to drink some damn good wine."
Lilith was pretty much satisfied with what had transpired in this life. The Goddess wasn't a bitch, and more like the chick you see ranting at a bar, and the daemons were much better companions than humans. It was a pretty good life.
Closing her eyes, in that moment of silence and weakness, Lilith reminisced of the past. The way she was treated and how she retaliated to the world.
She was once a child who was abandoned for the sake of her family's interest.
Her father was someone of power, and she was a whore-child. When she was three, she was living nicely with her birth mother. Despite everything else, she smiled for Lilith even when life was tough.
However, when her supposed blood father arrived at their doorstep, Lilith's mother and that bastard of a father had a big argument about taking Lilith away.
Lilith was hidden in a closet where she watched as her father killed her mother.
Lilith was stunned and frozen, unable to do anything other than watch her mother suffer. Lilith's mother died, and when the closet doors opened and Lilith looked at her father's face, he smiled as her saying, "Hello, your mother must have talked about me in the past. I am your father. Although there was an unfortunate accident, why don't you come with me?"

Lilith declined and went to her mother's side, but she was beaten to submission until she agreed to be taken away.
She lived as the heir for two years, but she was still treated more poorly than one would treat a maid.
Caged and fed to the bare minimum so she won't rebel, Lilith was treated as a beast rather than a human. It was a pretty shitty life, but she thought she would get over it in time.
But it didn't end and only got worst as her father's wife birthed a child, and with that, Lilith's role ended. The only reason why she was taken in was that her father did not have a child from his wife. To avoid getting embarrassed so that others wouldn't call him impotent, he went and sought out Lilith.
So that he wouldn't get embarrassed, he killed Lilith's Mother... the only family she had.
The instant he was given a child, her father threw her away as a form of kindness he left her life intact. At that time, when Lilith watched her father leave her to die in the slums, Lilith clearly remembered the feeling of liberation she was granted.
Freed from her mother's killer, freed from the torture that was being unable to achieve revenge.
When she was freed, she vowed to kill them as a form of revenge.
Even after twenty years, she had yet to succeed in doing that. Lilith does not blame Letza for what happened to her. For she understood that her fate was not controlled.
'One cannot blame God for everything that happens to you; if you are born poor, then it is your job to claw your way out of that hell hole.
'This world of wonder, where the Earth's water is blue, and the forests are lush and green, where the air is clean, everyone can rise. This world is infested with danger, but it is also flourishing with opportunity. I have spent my human life trying to get power and then get my revenge, only to lose after the conniving people of the world triumphed over me.'

Lilith watched the stars smiling.
'I am not angered for that only meant I was defeated, but this time… as I live another life, another chance to slowly strangle him and make him feel the pain mother felt that day is given to me. This time, I will not fail.
'Hehe, Letza, my goal, and your goal is not the same thing, but do not worry, for I will not fail you. I need power and an ever-bigger army to kill him and that power to raze this world to the ground and make them recognize who you are.'
Lilith wobbled in her toddler-like body. She was drunk, and her fatigue remained at 90%.
Losing to Letza's Divine Wine, Lilith lost her balance and fell from the tree branch. She was defenseless, and her current situation was not the most appreciated.
As her grasps of reality failed her, she fell headfirst and was going to bump her head on a rock.
But as she fell, golden and black figures appeared below, catching the little Lilith who had already fallen asleep.
"The boss head must be exhausted."
"I do not doubt that. The Boss had been planning and moving around for the past few days after all."
Sylva held onto Lilith's tiny body as gently as she could. Trying not to disturb Lilith or waking her up from her sweet slumber.
Staring at Lilith, the two followers were in a daze. Looking at Lilith now, one cannot make out the peerless leader of the daemons in her. The being before them was merely a defenseless child who had been thrown to the forefront of the war.
Sensing Sylva's warmth, Lilith snuggled closely onto her and rubbed her head on Sylva's still growing chest. Feeling the body of someone else and her earlier thoughts, she could not help but dream, "Mother…"
She whispered under her sweet and melodious voice of a child. The longing and loneliness behind it were more than apparent to the ear.
It strung a chord in the hearts of the two followers, and Dhampy stretched her hands forward as she bashfully asked, "Um, can I hold her?"
"By all means, big sis."
This kind of thing is rare to come by. None of the two knows if they will ever be able to encounter such an event; thus, they wanted to enjoy it for as long as possible.
Holding Lilith in her hands, Dhampy felt her weight and her warmth, for being someone whose current position was neither an undead nor fully alive, feeling the heat of a child was simply heavenly.
She turned to Sylva as she asked…
"Do you have a mark on the village?"
Sylva furiously nodded her head, "Yes!"
Holding hands with Dhampy, the three disappeared. As the night filled with death came to pass and the lives of every human were eradicated, the Forest of Beast should be celebrating.
But as Lilith returned, sleeping peacefully, everyone stopped their cheers, and for some inexplicable reason, that night, everyone managed to grasp the concept of taking photographs using the HNP.
That night, the celebration of the daemons was not met with drinks. Rather, it was fitted by taking pictures of Lilith, who slept peacefully under the creepy gazes of the daemons.
Lilith did not ask for it, neither did the daemons knew, but at this moment, the forgotten dream of being loved by others in her childhood came to be. It was unknown to Lilith this ever happened, nor would she ever come to think if this was Letza's intention to make her reincarnate in the child's body.
But as she slept, Lilith found bliss.

Magikind
Disclaimer: This is a low-fantasy, soft-sci-fi genre. In fact, it's a variety of genres, so don't be too put off by the tags Through several centuries of selective breeding, these beings, known as mages, have become part of the very foundations of society. However, some humans refused to change or adapt along with them. They believed in purity and refused to interbreed with magikind. Known as the manush, they were a rarity among society. Now, in the fifth millennia, the manush are thought to be extinct. With magikind ruling the world, a three-way war grips society between Eurasia, Afro-Australian Alliance and The Americas. In these uncertain times, a manush called Gin enters the Eurasian army. From there, our journey unfolds. A story of how mankind could realistically evolve while still pushing boundaries. PS.
