《The Shy Demon(Valak x Reader)》Chapter 8:The Decision
Advertisement
"What will it be, dear sister?" I watched in silence as my daughter's face went from anger, to desperation, to finally defeat. She released a sigh before saying , "Well in order to protect the ones i love the most I will go with you Damian" Everyone stared in sadness for we all knew it was impossible to change her mind. "I'm glad you finally came to your senses. Maybe your not as useless as our worthless siblings." He wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her into a fiery portal. She gave me a remorseful glance before entering the portal, disappearing into the hellish realm. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I seen the last of my eldest daughter. Lucy grieved as Lilith comforted her. Varius held his head down, knowing he was unable to help his sister. Zurk sat beside Varius in disbelief. "I guess all we can do is... wait for her return," Lilith whispered.
Nyx's POV
This sucks ass. I've been in Hell for at least 3 days now doing nothing but training. I already know everything I'm being trained on. Levitating? I know. Mind control? I know. Telepathy? I know. Possession? I know. I sigh as I twirl my fork in my hand. The food is hell is spicy as fuck. Can I get some decent food here? Damian watched me across the table with a smirk. "Enjoying your meal?" "Don't be a smart ass. You know I hate this shit," I set the fork down and glared at him. "Awww, Nyx. Is that any way to treat your husband?" "I can treat you however I want." "You're acting a lot like Lilith," Damian said while slurping on his tea, "what seems to be the issue?" I stood up and banged my hand violently on the table, sending Damian's food flying. "Don't fuck with me, Damian. This is NO GAME," I say in a harsh tone. He laughs at my response and walks over to me. He wraps his arm around my waist as fire emerged from my palms. He caressed my cheek with his other hand. "This is what a husband is like on earth; loving, caring, and protective. All I'm doing is converting myself to your culture since you were raised there," he whispered sensually. '...Does this count as cultural appropriation?' I grabbed his arm and slammed him into the kitchen table. He violently used mind control to sling my body into the window, but I grabbed the ledge since I'm a quick thinker. I climbed back in and blasted hellfire at him using my palms. A smug grin played on his lips as he did the same. Our fires collided and battled for dominance. Before one of us could win, Valak interrupted us and slammed us both against the walls. His sinister, yellow eyes bore into mine as he scowled. "What do you think you're doing to my prodigy, Nyx?" "Why do you care about what the fuck I do? You're the one who brought me here, so what's the deal?" Valak's face dropped into disappointment, "I wanted you to realize your full potential but something is off... I sense that you are feeling... sad? How pathetic." Damian glared at me while crossing his arms. "And I thought you were the strong one. How could you reveal your emotions to others?" Tears streamed down my cheeks as I felt a fire burn in my heart. "W-weak? I'm weak? You're both weak for watching others suffer. I know damn well that you wouldn't want to suffer. I refuse to listen to you any longer... unless you fulfill a favor for me." "Favor? FAVOR? What kind of foo-" "What is this favor you ask of, Nyx?" "F-Father! Don't tell me-" "Damian, I want her to become as powerful as possible. A little favor shouldn't hurt," Valak said while staring down at me. I dried my tears and replied, "I want mother to be here with me. I need her comfort." Damian burst out into laughter. "MOTHER?! WHY DO YOU WANT TO BRING SUCH A WEAKLING HERE?!" Valak pondered the favor before saying, "She isn't allowed to be here since this is Hell... but I will make an exception if you keep her hidden in your room for her stay for a week." "W-what? She won't have any free-" "Nyx, this is my offer and conditions. Do you accept?" I stared at him in shock before saying, "...Okay... Bring her here then." Valak sinisterly cackled and exited in a black portal. Damian glared daggers at me and headed up the stairs. I rolled my eyes and sat on the luxurious couch. 'I hope she gets here safely.'

READER'S POV
I laid in my bed and stared aimlessly at the ceiling. 'Is my daughter safe? How could I really know?' I sat up on the edge of my bed and put my slippers on. I stretched and yawned before starting a warm bubble bath. Stripping and flinging my clothes in the hamper, I slid into the bath and inhaled the sweet aromas of lavender mixed with honeysuckle. After a few minutes in the warm water, I felt an intense, pleasurable sensation in my womanhood. It felt as if something slid into my entry and something else rubbed my sensitive love button. I moaned with glee as I shifted my legs around. It's been awhile since I've felt pleasure like this. The feeling escalated, getting more intense by the minute. The bath water turned a mysterious, black color as I felt myself on the edge of an orgasm. A pale hand emerged from the water and traveled up from my pussy to my stomach. I saw the hand and screamed, jumping out the water and landing onto the bathroom rug. My thoughts were correct when I seen The Nun raise up from the water with a smile that could give children nightmares. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back into the water, positioning himself between my legs. "I forget the last time I was between these legs, defiling your innocence," he laughed. "W-why are you here?! WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?!" "She sent me here to get you." The room fills with a long silence before I ask, "And why would she send you?" Valak's smile dropped into a scowl as he said, "I suppose you don't want to see your daughter again? So be-" "WAIT! I.. I want to see her again," I said in a stern tone. "Good, now let's go," he said while dragging me into an ominous, black portal.
I closed my eyes in fear and heard a familiar voice ring out. "Mother... MOTHER?! IS THAT REALLY YOU?!" A pair of arms wrapped around me as I smiled. "Nyx... you're alive," I hugged her back with glee. "Mother... why are you naked? I'll give you some clothes in my room," I opened my eyes and seen her grab a bed sheet. She wrapped the sheet around me and took me upstairs to a room. I looked around curiously as she set a stack of clothes by me. "Pick whatever you want. I have to train with Damian so I'll see you soon. Please don't leave this room. I had to make a deal with Valak to have you here," she said. "Honey, why did you make a deal with that demon?" "I couldn't stand being here without you... I'm sorry for my selfishness," she frowned. I hugged her and reassured her, "Don't worry. I know how you feel." "You'll be here for a week. I'll try to provide the best I can for you," she said and left the room.

I looked around her room curiously while getting dressed. Her bed sheets almost felt like clouds and her walls were neatly decorated. 'I thought demons had it bad in hell?' I sighed in boredom and rummaged around her room. 'There is nothing to do and this is killing me. Maybe I'll go out exploring and see what Hell has to offer,' I thought while putting on a dress and a long, black cloak. I opened the door and quietly walked down the stairs while looking around. 'I shouldn't be doing this but I could really contribute to people who wanna know what Hell is like,' I thought while heading towards the door. I cracked the door open and peeked outside. 'Just as I imagined, it's hot as fuck down here.' I walked out the door and looked around. Hell looked like a very twisted place with little beauty. The bodies of water seemed to be made of lava and the trees were made of fire. Everything was a shade of red which was understandable. Keeping my head down, I walked around and explored. Screams echoed through the air, as well as menacing laughter. I seen demons walking around and plotting what their next move would be. Some of the demons had slaves, which seemed to be souls of humans. 'This isn't safe, I should go,' I thought as I turned around. I bumped into a tall, demonic figure who growled at me. His wings stretched out as he bent over to smell me. 'Holy fuck,' I froze. He stood back up and released a cackle as his horns sparked with fire.
"A human? Why is a pathetic being like you in Hell?"
"I-I... I'm visiting," I whisper in a nervous tone.
"HAH, WHAT A STUPID LIE! I could easily suck out your soul right now... but something isn't right. You have a demonic smell on you," he said, slightly confused.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"No... you have Valak's stench on you. That vile demon cheated me out of many souls years ago," he scowled as he balled his fists.
"Umm... I-"
"You're the one who bore him children as well. Nyx and Damian are very powerful. I still want my revenge on Valak," he growled.
"H-how do you know this?"
"I'm a bookkeeper for Satan himself, I know what goes on down here. Since you shouldn't be here, I could suck out your soul without hesitation. Or... you can do a favor for me," he grinned, showing his sharp teeth.
"...What is it?"
"I need you to poison Valak with this," he said handing me a mysterious, blue potion.
"Oh.. Ok," I whisper.
"It won't actually kill him. It will just make his life miserable," he cackled and trailed off.
'Well... it looks like I have no choice but to do it,' I thought while heading back inside. I looked at the potion, which gleamed sinisterly. I quietly walked up the stairs and back to Nyx's room while trying to formulate a plan. 'If I could somehow spike his drink with this... maybe this can work. Or I can try to get him while he's asleep,' I thought. I put the potion in my pocket and explored the empty halls. I looked into each room, trying to find Valak. As soon as I reached the room at the end of the hall, I saw him sleeping on an odd-looking bed. 'Looks like it's now or never.'

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
