Archdemon Empress Luna

***********************

Luna got closer to the winged serpent's head by accident and saw one of its large eyes blinked.

Its pupil was black, horizontally elongated, and had a complex keyhole-like shape.

The eye stared straight through her as if it could see her floating by its side along with the other demons, and the sight chilled her blood.

Surprise jolted her awake from the trance like the thunderbolt striking from one of the harpy eagles' beaks.

Now that she thought about it, those demons were close to how Caelano,? Princess Ourania's harpy who helped Lilith take over her physical vessel in the past, appeared like.

"How did these creatures look, Empress?" Queen Morgan pressed, interrupting Luna's thoughts.

Luna wondered why the Queen didn't seem bothered by these monstrous creatures while she remained seated on her throne as the Head of the Council.

Perhaps, she had no idea what they were and what these creatures looked like except for her!

Of course, it made sense!

Luxen's demonic Legion was so far from the Council Room, and the Autumn Fae's sight must be too limited, but they could perceive it with their intuition.

"I can feel their evil aura emanating from this group and there are too many to count." The Queen had blinked rapidly, and frustration was evident in her tone.

'It must be hard to feel one's limitations when? you are a powerful Ancient Fae.' Luna thought.

"There was one creature? that was a behemoth, like a dragon, but I can't determine what they are since they are hidden by the dark clouds."

Frown lines had marred Jora's forehead as he got up from his chair and stalked towards the window along with the curious onlookers, "What are these spirits doing here? Why are the evil spirits roaming in the Fae Realm when the thinning of the veil hadn't even begun!"

The Fae, Jora, must be talking about Samhain.

It was the time of the year where the days got shorter and the nights stretched longer.

It was a sign that the veil between the Material Realm and the Spiritual Realm is at its thinnest.

Evil spirits and possibly, demons can easily cross over, enter their world and walk among the living.

The trapped souls in the Material Realm who were ready to move on will find a portal and prepare for their exit.

Sylvain rolled up his sleeves up in preparation, and it was tight around his muscled forearms. "We haven't even celebrated the Mabon Festival yet."

Luna rested her gaze on Sylvain, "Those aren't merely evil spirits but demons. Can't you see what they are?"

"Not everyone can see them clearly, beloved. Some of these demons must be powerful than the average ones who were trapped in the Material Realm." Apollyon responded, and the rings of bright orange glowed around the irises of his eyes.

Luna didn't know what that entailed.

"Demons?"

"Ravin and Sloth."? Upon hearing their names, they looked over their shoulders and awaited her next orders, " I command you to talk freely now to explain to Queen Morgan who they are." Luna said out loud.

"You learned how to command Archdemons after being possessed by one?" Queen Morgan crossed her arms, and her gaze on her was full of suspicion, "What kind of power do you have?"

Sloth cleared his throat after gaining control of his speech. "Those monstrosities looked familiar, though. They appeared like I have taken care of? them in my dungeons before."

"Sloth, do you think they are yours?"

"Hmm." Sloth ran a hand through his hair, and it fell into messy blond waves past his shoulders, giving him that wild look,? "I believe these are the creatures I have given to Luxen as a gift."

The Queen raised an eyebrow. "A gift to another Archdemon by the name of Luxen?"

Nevertheless, she didn't wait for an answer.

"You can now return to the underworld, Klotho, Lachesis, Antropos." Queen Morgan regarded the Moirai as she waved her hand in dismissal. "I am grateful for the important prophecies you shared with us today."

"As you wish, Mer--"

"Lachesis."

It was a warning.

"Forgive me, Queen Morgan. It was a slip of tongue." Antropos said, and Luna saw her dry lips curve upward. "No harm done. We will now return to the Underworld."

The winds strongly howled that her hair whipped with violence on her face, and her eardrums threatened to pop up from the Moirai's high-pitched screaming or... perhaps,? were they laughing about their situation?

The golden orbs illuminating the room flickered from the Moirai's quick departure as they dipped their head in the dark, murky waters before the glass on the surface of the table returned to its original state, releasing a bright spark of vibrant rainbow hues.

It was fascinating, yes, but this wasn't the time to be amazed.

The flickering lights turned into a steady beam after the? Three Fates had vanished from the Council Room and returned to the Underworld.

The quick change from day to night made her feel like her bloodstreams were infused with adrenaline.

The thick dark clouds moved towards the Fall Kingdom, completely covering the sun.

The trees' limbs strained to bend backward from the ongoing onslaught.

The beams and foundations of the Autumn Palace creaked and shook.

Everyone in the Council Room scattered faster when the force of the hurricane shattered the windows into glittering shards.

All of her senses had overloaded her mind that she didn't know what to do.

Once again, Luna shut her lids and covered her sensitive ears when the glass broke as if it had been smashed by one of the monster's fists.

The wind was so loud but that some of the Council Members had to cow with their hands over their hoods to prevent themselves from exposing what they looked like despite the turbulent hurricane picking up speed.
