Liliana

I sat with Robbie all night long waiting for him to wake up. Laila came in and checked his vitals then stood beside me. “Everything looks good. He will wake up it just might take time Lili.” I nodded to her, “ I know Laila. Can you link Brian and have him ask josh to come sit with him please. I don’t want him alone not even for a minute.” “ Of course Lili. He said him and the boys are almost here.” I looked back at Robbies face and chest as it rose and fell as he breathed. Brian, Josh, Travis, Ricky, and Brock walked in followed by Robbie’s parents. They looked at me and then at Robbie. His mom sat down in the chair grabbing his hand with hers while wiping tears off her face. “ Thank you for coming. I need one of you to stay here and guard him while he’s like this. I can’t leave him unprotected in this state. Katherine said softly, “I’ll stay with him.” Travis spoke up next, “Luna Liliana I will make sure no one gets past me and if anything happens I’ll let you know.” “Thank you Travis and thank you Katherine. I’ll find a way to fix this. It will not go unpunished.” I stood up, kissed Robbie on his lips and walked out while the other boys followed me. I knew they were all worried about me. But I couldn’t worry about that right now, right now I have answers to get. “Laila, did you ever figure out how to put that barrier up?” “Yes I did. My aunt and the other witches are working on all the ingredients we need. We’ll be able to put it up in an hour or two.” “Thank you I want it up as soon as possible. And please let your aunt and the other witches how much I appreciate this. If it works we won’t have to worry about Whiro getting in or any of his goons getting in to hurt anyone else I love.” I walked determined into the dungeon and straight to Dione’s cell. Everyone was there. Rillifane was holding Aine. Aita was holding Empusa. Bahamut was holding Selene and the other gods and goddesses turned to look at me as I walked up to her door and yanked it off the hinges. I stepped into the tiny cell and looked at Dione. She was strapped to the wall her head hanging down as blood dripped from cuts all over her body. “Beta Brian please go get all the torture tools we have here.” My voice dripped with venom the longer I looked at her. She finally raised her head, “So you’ve finally come back. The almighty champion. How’s your mate doing huh little girl? You’ll never wake him!” Laughing hysterically she flung her head back and just cackled. I walked over to her and pulled the chains off her. While holding her neck I slammed her into the chair sitting in the middle of the room. Strapping her down I asked Moradin,” God Moradin can you make this cell bigger for me with a giant hole in front of the chair. Goddess Hecate can you spell the hole so that it has every poisonous snake at the bottom. Goddess Atargatis will you fill the hole with water at the bottom.” All three stepped forward and what I had asked was made right before my eyes. I couldn’t see the bottom of the hole but I knew it had water and snakes in it. I held my hand up and created chains to dangle over the center of the hole. Placing Dione in the shackles I raised her up so she was just hanging there. She looked at me with hatred in her eyes. “Oh Dione if your going to look at me like that then I have to give you a gift.” Brian walked in with a tray of knives I grabbed the scalpel and began slicing Diones hair off. She screamed and tried to get away from but I wouldn’t let her go. Aita and Moradin walked in front of her with pity and disgust on the faces. “Why did you try to kill Liliana Dione?” Aita asked her. She looked at him and then Empusa with just as much hatred. “I work with Whiro. He wanted her dead so he could come here and kill all of your children.” I stepped in front of them and slapped her across her face. Reaching into her mind I told her, “ Dione you will tell me everything I want to know. Once I know everything I’m going to kill you since I’ve already stripped you of all your powers. Now start talking you stupid b***h!” Her eyes widened and she began her story.

“When the realms where created we all agreed we would live in harmony. I created all the beasts and mystical beasts. Each one was my child. From the birds to unicorns to phoenixes down to mice. They were mine. My children were killed for food or for rituals. Some just for sport. I had one love who I would do anything for. I would create anything for. I loved him with everything in me. He chose Empusa over me! Her the creator of vampires who fed on my children! Why did she deserve your love more then I did! I did everything for you Aita! I gave you life in your underworld! I gave you light where there was darkness! When I realized that I was never going to win his heart I decided to create Whiro. It took me years to make him perfect, so that none of the other gods or goddesses could destroy him. He’s the ultimate child and what child wouldn’t do what his mother asked of him? I fooled all of you except you Empusa but I was able to take Aita away from you. If they hadn’t of found us I’d still be with him. I was working on getting him into bed with me. I would have finally of had him if not for you, Liliana and the bastard mate of yours. But here’s the kicker you’ll never find his soul. I hid it when I stabbed him and none of you will get him back!” She started laughing and crying. Aita looked at her and then grabbed a dagger from Brian. He walked up to her and grabbed her hair what was left of it anyways and made her look him in the eyes. “You were like a sister to me Dione. I love Empusa and I always will. You kept me from her for your own selfish reasons. I will help Liliana find his soul and place it back in his body. I’ll also help her kill your precious Whiro. You have nothing left. Your children will be split up amongst us and we will be the ones to show them the truth and how to live in harmony. I guarantee you will not make it out of that hole alive.” With that he sliced the dagger across her neck and then shoved his hand into her chest pulling out her beating heart. Stepping back he handed it to Empusa. She placed Dione’s heart in a glass jar and hugged Aita to her as she kissed him. I let the chains go so she fell into the hole. When I heard the splash of water I held my hand over the hole and thought of invisible lid sealing her and anyone else who was dropped into there to never be able to get out again. That will be their final resting place all of my enemies. “So we have a lot to do. Where do we start with finding his soul?” I asked them. Moradin looked me in the eyes and said, “We need to find our first children. And I need to find all of mine. They’ve all gone in to hiding but I can’t feel my children’s presence at all.” “Where’s the last place anyone would to look for them?” Aine asked us. I thought about it and then it hit me. Dione was in love with Aita. He was the god of the underworld. “We look in the underworld.” I looked at everyone in the room as they all looked at each other then to me. Brian stepped up, “So, when do we go?”
