《The Devil's Parcel》Chapter 19: The Seven princes of Hell appear
Advertisement
Michael and Lilith reached their home in a short amount of time.
Michael had been living with Lilith since the war had ended. This wasn't unusual since he didn't have a place to live or money for a home. Michael usually cleaned up their house or cooked while he wasn't on guard duty.
The two often talked during their free time, whether about their favorite places or movies. They got to know each other a lot in the short time they lived together.
Michael opened the door, and the two walked in.
Lilith and Michael sat down, and she started venting hard.
"Why does Alastor not want to see me?! First, he abandons our child and me; he doesn't show up for his child's birth but will attend Lillia's birth."
Michael stood silent and just Listened.
"I waited for him for nothing! I was hoping we would be together again if I waited long enough. I could've looked for someone else, but a part of me still wanted to be with him. What's the point of waiting, though, if the guy I want doesn't want to see our child or me."
Lilith looks up to Michael to ask a question. "Michael, am I enough?"
Michael brings his hand to her face and wipes off the rolling tear. He reassures her that she is enough and that anyone would be lucky to have her.
The compliment causes Lilith to blush, and she kisses Micahel
Michael responded in kind.
The kissing got so intense they moved to Lilith's room, where the door was locked behind them.
Alastor appeared at the door and engraved a marking on it.
"You're going to need this to survive the threat of the witches."
Alastor places his hand over the marking and disappears.
Alastor reappears in the middle of the combined nations.

Alastor calls Abel.
Abel appears with Lillia and Eve.
"This better be important, Alastor."
"We're going to set up a barrier."
"What type."
"Mine."
"You really don't want anything getting through."
The two lift up into the air.
They fly up so high the two nations look like tiny pebbles.
The two conjure a magic circle big enough to cover both nations. With the barrier in place, Alastor leaves.
Abel descends and lands next to Lillia
"What was that about?" Asked Lillia
"Alastor is preparing the city."
"For what?"
"Another problem we have to deal with." Said the annoyed Abel
"Which problem."
"Erin."
"She died, though."
"Not her but the cult she was in."
"Oh."
Abel grabbed Lillia's hand and reassured her that everything was fine. After that, the two teleported home.
Far off to the east of the country was a cave where the Cult that Erin was in resided.
"My lord, is there any way you could return Erin to us." The Cult leader was conversing with a man.
"That is not in my power. She was damned to hell by someone higher in authority than even me."
"You're the king of hell! Who has higher authority than you?!"
"Don't forget who you're talking to! You're lucky we're not talking face to face, or I would teach you a lesson."
"Forgive me, my lord, but without Erin, it will be harder to go through with the plan."
"Then go capture the man that damned Erin and force him to break the damnation."
"Then, please tell me the man's name, my lord?"
"The man's name is Abel ."
A shiver ran down the cult leader's spine. "You can't mean that Abel, can you?"
"It is that, Abel."

"How do you suppose I kill the shepherd of death?"
"From what I heard, he has a newly born child."
"What does the kid have to do with him."
"Use the kid as bait."
"You're fucking stupid if you think I'm going after his kid."
"GET IT DONE."
"Fine, let me use the Seven princes."
"They'll be on their way."
The talk ended, and the smoke they were using to communicate was sucked into an urn.
The Cult leader got up and left his office.
The leader walked onto a balcony where his cultists were waiting for the news below him.
"The King of Hell has given us his command. We must Kill Abel, The Shepherd of Death, to free Erin."
Abel awoke from his dream and sat up quickly
This action woke Lillia up. "What's wrong, Abel?"
"Nothing."
Abel kissed Lillia and got up to make breakfast.
On his way to make breakfast, he stopped by to see Eve.
She was sound asleep, so he left her alone.
Breakfast was made, and everyone ate.
Abel put on his coat and summoned his Scythe.
The eye on the head of the Scythe moved to look at Abel.
"Did I wake you?" Abel said to his Scythe
The eye closed, and went back to sleep.
Lillia got dressed and dressed up Eve, who was already walking.
"You ready to go?" Asked Abel
"Always." Said Lillia
The space around them distorted; before Lillia knew it, she was in the Ancient Library.
Brother landed in front of the Family.
"This is a bad time, Abel; Mother is here."
"Perfect. She can meet Eve and Lillia."
Roaring can be heard from a distance.
"Hello 'Mother'"
Brother suddenly flew up in the air, replaced by a more enormous dragon.
The Dragon was white and had a female voice.
"It's been a while, Abel."
"It's been what, a few millennia?"
The Dragon growled, "Many worlds have been born and destroyed since I last saw you."
"Close enough."
The vibe the two gave off was filled with murderous intent.
Suddenly the Dragon pulled out her claws and snatched Abel.
The Dragon stood on its hind legs and proceeded to hug Abel.
"Oh, I can't be mad at you."
"Mother, I would like you to meet my Girlfriend and my child." Abel pointed at Lillia and Eve.
The Dragon turned to look at the two and let Abel go causing him to slam to the ground.
The Dragon got on all fours, put her nose against Lillia and Eve, and started sniffing.
Eve reached her hand out and touched Mother's nose.
Eve started smiling and started cheering.
Abel said, "I guess she likes you."
"Of course." said the Dragon
"Mother, I have a favor to ask."
"Of course; what is it?"
"Take care of Lillia and Eve for me while I'm gone."
Lillia turned around, confused
"Of course."
"Wait, Why?"
"Also, train them both for me, please."
"I will train them both."
"Good" Abel cast an Incantation and kissed Lillia's cheek leaving a mark.
The mark disappeared as fast as it appeared.
"Why do you have to leave?"
"A big battle is going to happen in the capital, and I can't have either of you getting hurt."
Abel disappeared before Lillia could object.
Abel appeared at his house surrounded by the Seven princes of Hell.
"Long time no see Lucifer." Said Abel to the man standing in front of him

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
