The devil's son

Chapter 06

The day of the full moon arrived, and Ayla was completely anxious to know how it would be. Denys came to visit her before the ritual. He pulled her by the back and kissed her, suggesting they have one last time together before the ritual. She agreed and led him to the bedroom, holding his hand. He took off her dress and panties, positioned her on her stomach on the bed, holding her hands and entered her. He pulled her hair, turned her over, and continued. After some time, they stopped and went to the kitchen.

~Is this really what you want?

~Yes, this is what I want.

~Are you going without knowing the consequences?

~I am going to be strong enough not to need anyone and to have you.

~And if that’s not possible?

~I will still pursue what I think is right.

With his eyes red, he kissed her on the forehead and left. The day passed, and at night Lilith arrived, ready for the ritual. She went to the back of Ayla’s house and made a large circle with a pentagram inside. At each point, she placed an element: a seven-day candle, incense, a moonstone, and a jar of water. The goat sat at the top point and stayed there. Lilith told Ayla to go naked to the center of the pentagram. She took a chicken, cut it in half, and poured its blood on Ayla’s body. When the last drop fell, Ayla began to levitate, and the pentagram circle caught fire. Lilith started dancing and humming a song around the circle. Ayla began to twist, her countenance darkened, and what was once an illuminated woman now seemed like a woman of shadows. Her eyes turned blood-red, and fire began to come from her hands. Lilith laughed and jumped around the circle. Ayla descended to the ground, the fire in the circle extinguished, and the goat had transformed into a man with goat legs and horns. When Ayla landed, he made an inverted cross on her forehead. The goat-man was terrifying, but Ayla, now changed, showed no sign of fear, appearing hypnotized. She took Lilith’s hand, and they went to the other world, where they heard people moaning and some screaming. They walked through streets bathed in dark red, where there was never a sun or moon to illuminate the place, only fire. They went to a castle that seemed to belong to Lilith.

~ Each time you grant someone's wish, a bit of their soul becomes yours, making you stronger. Many people perform rituals without knowing the consequences, but you didn't. Your soul didn't come to us; it only drained our power. ~ This is your new home, said Lilith.

But Ayla said nothing.

~ Soon you'll get used to the voices in your head of people calling or invoking you.

Ayla was now submissive to Lilith and had to work for her. Whenever someone called her, she heard it too and had to perform rituals. She saw people killing babies and pouring their blood on their bodies to ask Lilith for youth. She started going crazy with the things going through her head and decided to respond to a call to see what it was like. Lilith was summoned to grant strength, beauty, and power over men. The woman who called her was dismembering a black cat. Upon Ayla's arrival, the woman couldn't see her, but the candle flame flickered more strongly, and the incense smoke moved chaotically. Ayla blessed her with her request, and the lights in the room flickered, making the woman smile like a child.

She returned to the castle, and Lilith, sitting on a throne, asked her, ~ Do you request these kinds of rituals? ~ The greater the sacrifice, the greater the gain. Little is not accepted.

The old Ayla would have found this cruel, but the new Ayla said nothing, taking it as a lesson. A week passed, and she only appeared in rituals to see what they did and gain more power, not even thinking about Denys, only power and knowledge. One day, she asked who the goat/man was in the ritual, and Lilith said he was the true demon, not the subordinates, the real Satan, and that only those considered gods could summon him. Then Ayla remembered Denys and understood that he was just a subordinate, which was why he was punished, and now she was a subordinate. After learning many things, she decided to go to her house, which was just as she had left it, but dustier from weeks of not being cleaned. She cleaned up and sat on the couch to read. For a moment, she became who she used to be, then she got up, returned to the other world, and went to Denys' house. She opened the door, and he was sitting on the couch, looking at the fireplace.

~ I didn't believe you would come.

~ For a few days, I didn't remember you. For a few days, I only wanted power, and I still do, but you're still inside me.

~ You look so different.

She had black eyeliner and eyeshadow, a black dress, and red lipstick. It was the first time she wasn't wearing a peasant dress but something more sensual.

~ Don't you like me like this?

~ I love you in any form. I love you enough to let you become a dark witch, even knowing I might never see you again, just because it was your wish.

~ I love you enough to let the darkness take over me to come to you.

Then they kissed, and he took her to his room. They had s*x, and this time she didn't just want to be submissive to him but also to dominate him. She bit and hurt him as well, and they both ended up hurting each other during their lovemaking. Afterward, she wanted to know if he had another human, and he said yes, it was a man of God, and it was more difficult because the guardian angels wouldn't let him get close to the human. He had to find gaps to gain power. He told her she was lucky just to attend the calls to gain power, but she wanted to understand the power she had, to test and know what she could do. They agreed to meet the following week for him to show her some things she could do.

So she attended various rituals to become stronger and have enough power to use it with him. But one night, Lilith called her and reprimanded her, saying that not every ritual she performed could grant wishes. Otherwise, instead of gaining power, she would lose more than she gained. Lilith then taught her the proper rituals and those that truly invoked them.
