Chapter 23 - VISITING RELATIVES

It was a week before Halloween, and they were sad because they would be away for two weeks, and they did not like that at all.

"I love you, my prince, and I want you to know that I will miss you very much, and I do not know how I will endure this agony of not having you" said Francesca, while she gave him a tender kiss on the mouth.

"Baby, I love you too, and I will also miss you very much, and I don't know what I will do to endure this agony of not having you," Alexander replied as he returned the kiss.

They were all sad, saying goodbye with kisses and hugs, and promised each other that they would find a way to find out about each other.

Everyone had to say goodbye at Francesca and her friends' house, so that they would not notice anything strange when they had to go to their parents.

Alexander and his friends understood that Francesca and her friends, could not see them when they ascended to heaven and, on the other hand, Francesca, and her friends, understood that Alexander and her friends could not see them when they descended to hell.

The time came when they had to reunite with their respective families.

Angel Jahweh and his friends ascended to heaven in the morning, while Lilith Satan and her friends descended to hell at night.

When Angel Jahweh and his friends got to heaven, they grew up because they stopped being teenagers, to be men and women.

The men are muscular and tall while the women are thin and tall, and all were dressed in white with light blue.

"Daddy, little brother," said Angel Jahweh while hugging God and Jesus.

"Welcome home, little brother, and not just you but also all of you" said Jesus.

"Thanks, brother. I think the time has come to talk about the real reason they sent us to earth" Angel Jahweh concluded.

"That's right, little brother. We should all sit down and talk at length about the matter," said Jesus.

Before they could speak, Athena's mother and daughter appear.

Athena's daughter, seeing Angel Jahweh and his friends, felt a strong attraction to them (men and women) and could not stop contemplating them.

And it is not for less, because each one of them has its charm and they are extremely attractive.

Angel Jahweh is beautiful on the outside and inside and emanates its aura of peace, tranquility, love, and harmony.

The same could not be said for Athena. Although Athena is a woman whose hair is beautiful and she is an attractive woman, there was something about her that prevented them from being close to her.

None of them liked the aura of Athena because it is a negative and evil aura it is as if it were part of the darkness but in the deepest and most sinister of hell.

None wanted to be near her because the aura of Athena's daughter is so evil that they feared that they would destroy them.

"Daddy, little brother, we'll talk when neither of us is there," said Angel Jahweh, pointing to Athena's mother and daughter.

"Daddy, little brother, we don't want to talk in front of them because they both have a negative and dark aura," said Angel Jahweh.

"Neither my daughter nor I have any evil aura. We have always served for the sake of light, protecting humanity from the plague of darkness. We are not the ones who should be careful it is the pests who are in hell" said the Goddess Athena, annoyed.

"I don't believe them at all. On the other hand, I know that "the plague" as you refer to the deities who are in hell are better than you, "said Angel Jahweh, defending the deities who are in hell, and defending his point of view.

"Enough! I will no longer allow these types of fights, and right now that my son and his friends are here! Also, if my son says all that, it will be for a reason. And my son, he is not the first nor will he be the last person, who warns me about you", said God, trying to calm and control the situation.

"Athena, I want you to go out with your daughter. If my son and his friends are here, I do not want you around, because I do not want to continue witnessing this kind of confrontation. I want to enjoy this time, with my son and his friends and with all the people who are willing to help and not to cause confrontations", said God, trying to avoid any type of confrontation.

"Okay, My Lord, my daughter and I will go out and do what you ask of us," Athena said, taking her daughter with her.

"Angel Jahweh, my son, please come closer," God told him.

And Angel Jahweh did what his father had asked him to do. When he approached, God, he took him and hugged him with all his might.

"My son, I am glad that you are here. Welcome to each of you for being here," God said.

"Thank you, daddy, and each one of you for our welcome," said Angel Jahvé.

"Daddy, I miss him a lot," Zeus said to his dad Zeus.

"And you and your sister Clarisse," Zeus said.

"Daddy, I love him so much," Clarisse said.

"Daughter and I love you, with the same strength that you love me because our love is unconditional love," said Zeus.

"Daddy, Mommy, we miss you so much," Poseidon and Amphitrite said while hugging their parents.

"And we miss you very much, dear children," said Poseidon and Amphitrite.

"Mommy, dear mommy, I miss you very much, and I love you very much," Aphrodite said, hugging her mother.

"I miss you a lot too, my daughter, and you don't know what I would give to have you by my side, and the same thing happens to each of us," Aphrodite said while hugging her daughter tightly.

"We promise that we will visit them more often, and I love him Daddy and I have missed him a lot too," said Hipólita.

"Mommy, Daddy, my sister, and I want to see you all the time. It is true that our brother, Perseus, is with you, but we also want to be with you", Poseidon said to his parents.

"I, like our parents, we want the same thing, and we also miss them a lot," said Perseus, while hugging his siblings, and they hugged him back.

"Daddy, it is true that I am on earth with my cousins, but it is not the same as the presence of our parents," said Perseus, who joined the group hug.

"We all want and feel the same, and it is enough to see our eyes, to understand how much we love each other and how much we miss each other," said Apolo.

"It's true. We all want and feel the same, and something tells me that, in a noticeably short time, we will finally be together, and this time, it will be forever", said the nymph Dafne, who came to hug her daughter.

"Mommy, I love you very much and how beautiful you are," said Dafne, while hugging her daughter.

"My daughter, aren't you coming to hug your mother?" Tique said as she extended her arms to receive her daughter.

"Mommy, I love you very much, and don't leave me anymore," said Tique, while hugging her mother.

"Mommy, I love you so much, and you do not have any idea how much I have missed you, while I was on earth," Aura said as she ran into her mother's arms.

"My daughter, I love you too, and I have missed you with the same force that you have missed me," said Aura while hugging her daughter tightly.

"Mommy, where are you? I love you very much and want to see you," said Harmony, who was looking for her daughter as she said that.

"Here I am daughter and I also love you very much," said Harmony, while in the arms of her daughter.

"Well, who will do us the honor of taking the tour with us to get to know our home better?" asked Angel Jahweh.

"All of us," God said.

And immediately, they began with the tour of the sky, explaining how things work there and the functions that all have.

Also, they told them the real reasons why they had to send to Earth.

"Please, do not trust any of you in the Goddess Athena, and her daughter, because there is something in them that makes me completely distrust and also makes me want to keep them away and that not only happens to me; but also, to my friends", said Angel Jahweh, who felt total distrust towards Athena's mother and daughter.

"We will take it into account and now, to enjoy the tour and not think of anything negative," said Harmony.

And they continued with the tour throughout the sky. Angel Jahweh and his friends were surprised to see how wonderful heaven is and how many people work in it.

While they were in full swing, Lilith Satan and her friends, reached hell.

When they got to hell, they noticed that they no longer look like teenagers; on the contrary, they have their true appearances of men and women.

On the one hand, James, Hades, Lestat, Thanatos, Phobos, and Deimos, noticed that not only did they increase in size; but also, in muscle mass, because they are extremely muscular and, they felt that they have a demolishing force of about a hundred titans and when they touched their hair, they noticed that they were longer than they had on earth.

On the other hand, all women are extremely thin, just as strong as men, just as tall as men, and their hair is so long that it reached below the waist.

As for everyone's clothes, they are black, with a huge black cape and their wings are black and they have shoes as the Romans used at one time, and on their arms, above the elbow and below it, they have leather ribbons.

The women have heart-shaped tiaras, and they are black with red, and in the center of the tiara, there was a red tear.

As for Mattew Azarian and Rick Cain, they turned into dragons. Mattew Azarian is a beautiful and imposing white dragon, and Rick Cain is a beautiful and imposing light green dragon, like an emerald.

Finally, everyone, including the two dragons, has blood-red eyes.

"Are your dragons?" Lilith Satan asked, seeing that they are two beautiful and imposing dragons.

"Yes, Your Highness, we are dragons," said Mattew Azarian.

"Please do not tell me, Your Highness, I dislike that expression. We are all the same because we are friends, and here, in hell, we will use our real names and on earth, our false names," said Lilith Satan.

"Okay, we will do that, crazy little girl. Before entering, we have several questions, and I begin, how are we going to communicate with our partners?" Persephone asked.

"We will communicate with them telepathically," Lilith Satan said.

"I am a vampire, and James is a werewolf, and our love is forbidden. What can we do to be together?" Victoria asked.

"Well, what I understand is the following: the moment we went to earth together, you are free to love each other and do not need permission from your respective packs to be together. If you want to be together, no one must stop you," Hades said.

"And I agree with Hades. In addition, the two are children of the union of vampires and werewolves, and that makes them hybrids; that is, they are free to love each other," said Lilith Satan.

"Hybrids? Are we hybrids? That we did not know. If it is true, because it is true, Victoria and I can love each other without anyone stopping us from doing so. Thanks, folks," James said.

"Well, I have another question, and anyone can answer it for me, and that is, will we tell our parents who are the people with whom we have fallen in love?" Enio asked.

"Good question. I do not know about you, but I would say that, for the moment, let us not say anything, until we see how things go, and then we will see, "said Lestat.

"Well, so far with the questions. The best thing is that we continue with our path because I think it is long until we reach our parents," said Thanatos.

They all agreed and continued their way. After half an hour of walking, they reached the hall of hell.

In that place, the door was copper-colored and around it, everything was dark, and you could feel the cold of death.

Using all their powers, they managed to open the door and continued their way.

They felt as if someone was watching them and said the following: "We know that they are watching us, appear in front of us or leave us alone!"

Then, a deity that looks like a child appeared in front of them, and they knew perfectly well that appearances can be deceiving.

"Who are you?" asked Phobos.

"I am VALAK," he said, as he took on his actual physical appearance which is far more sinister and terrifying than that of a mere child.

"You finally decided to appear in front of us! Thank you for taking care, protecting, and defending us," Deimos said.

"It is my pleasure, Your Royal Highnesses," VALAK said.

"Enough of telling us like this. Here, we are all equal, and no one is superior to the other," Medusa said.

"I will accompany them until they reach their parents," VALAK said.

"Thank you VALAK, our great protector," Ennio said.

"As we walk, can you tell us why the hell they sent us to earth? Do you hate us so much to have distanced us from you? asked Phobos.

"If not, can you please explain why they abandoned us as if we were worthless?" asked Lilith Satan.

"As we go all the way, I will explain to you, point by point, the reasons why we had to send them to earth," VALAK said.

And from that moment, VALAK, accompanied them throughout the journey, while explaining to Lilith Satan and her friends why they were sent to earth.

After a long walk, they reached what would be the second gate of hell, but stopped, because they heard heartbreaking screams, coming from the other side of the door.

They decided to pretend they were not listening to those lost souls and decided to continue their way.

When they reached the second door that leads to hell they saw that above, and in the center of the door, was the head of Satan, and it was red in color and the door black.

What most caught the attention of Lilith Satan and her friends is the following inscription that reads the following:

"It is because of me that you enter the city of tears.

It is for me that you turn to eternal pain.

There, the doomed race suffers.

I was created by Divine Power

put aside hope.

If you enter here "

"How ingenious that inscription is! With this, we know that we are close to home". Hades said, as he again contemplated the inscription.

Suddenly, the doors were opened, and they noticed that everything was red as blood.

"Let's go inside before the doors are closed and not opened for any reason," VALAK said.

After hearing, VALAK says that they decided to enter hell, and when they all managed to enter, the doors were closed, and a roar was heard.

They continued their way as if nothing had happened, while VALAK continued with the story of why they were sent to earth.

They reached the first circle of hell which is Limbo. In it are not baptized. In it, they found important philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, the mathematician Euclid, the Amazon Queen Penthesilea, Virgil, Averroes, Avicenna, Homer, Saladin, Horace, Ovid, Lucanus, Trajan, and Rifeo are also found in hell.

When Lilith Satan and her friends saw them, they recognized them quickly, because they studied them when they were in school, and seeing them in Limbo, with lost eyes and minds, is something they never thought would happen.

Later, they looked around and noticed that the place has green meadows and a castle which, they found nice, to be Limbo, a place that was close to heaven and far from God by not being baptized.

They stared for a few more minutes and realized that it is almost like the earth, and the only difference is that here you can breathe an air of hopelessness.

They decided to continue their way and reached the second circle of hell that is Lust. The people who are in this circle are the people who were carried away by their carnal and sexual appetites and could not control themselves.

They are the first to be truly punished in Hell. These souls are condemned to be impelled by a strong wind that hits them against the ground and walls, shakes them, and makes them collide with each other without rest, in the same way, that in life they were carried away by the winds of passion.

They saw how despicable and low they fell for being carried away by their base instincts. They could not believe that being married, they had decided to have lovers, just to satisfy their sexual pleasures.

In this circle, they can see that penish the following characters in the story: Semiramis, Dido, Cleopatra, Helena, Achilles, Paris, Tristan, and many others who did not control sensual love during their life. Francesca de Rimini and her brother-in-law Paolo committed adultery and later died violently in the name of love at the hands of her husband, Gianciotto Malatesta.

Finally, in this circle, there is also Guinevere and Lanzarote, who committed adultery, while she was married.

As Lilith Satan and her friends watched them crawling by the desire for passion, VALAK continued his account of why they were sent to earth.

They reached the third circle of hell called Gluttony. In this circle, they already felt that the true terror and Calvary would begin for the souls who are in these circles.

The sin of gluttony with the pain of being beaten by an extraordinarily strong cold rain mixed with thick hail, and deafened by the terrible barking of Cerberus, who also tears them with nails and teeth. Among those unfortunates he finds Ciacco.

"And what about that dog? As it is called? Whose is it?" Hades asked, astonished, as were his friends.

"It is Can Cerbero, and that three-headed dog belongs to your father, to Hades, the Lord, and King of Tartarus," VALAK replied.

"That? Is that gigantic dog my father's?" Hades asked, seeing the impressive size of Can Cerbero and hearing his terrible barking.

"That's right, my prince. That dog belongs to your dad", VALAK repeated.

"How amazing is this world! If those souls are here, it is because they committed the seven deadly sins and even much more and perhaps, they failed to comply with the ten commandments of the Law of God", said Hades.

While in this circle, they watched an endless rain of hail and icefall on the souls, causing them to scream in pain.

Although they were born in hell, they felt sorry to see how souls suffered, who, in life, we're human.

Disappointed in the souls, who every day, descend to hell because, in life, they commit all kinds of atrocities and do not feel remorse about it.

When they were about to leave, they all saw the other end of the third circle of hell, the Devil.

Lilith Satan and her friends, seeing him, could not take it anymore and went after him, leaving only VALAK.

They began to chase him throughout the third circle, starting an all-out war.

While they were in the middle of a fight, VALAK mentally warned Satan and all who are in hell, what was happening.

Satan, Lilith, their allies, and the demons, came out of their houses, to help Lilith Satan and her friends.

While they were running like crazy, they were constantly telling themselves not to kill them and for VALAK to be with them, protecting them.

The moment Satan turned his head, he saw the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the four beasts and the Specters, heading where the Devil, VALAK, Lilith, and their friends were.

They all went as fast as they could to get to where they are.

When they managed to arrive, they saw that it was a war without a quarter and that, indeed, VALAK was there, helping them in this confrontation.

They knew they could not waste any more time, and they came to their aid. They all provided Lilith Satan and her friends with all kinds of weapons, and the most powerful weapon they had is magic.

This is one of the longest of the battles and at the same, the most important.

As time progressed, the more bloodthirsty and terrible the fight had become.

Lilith Satan and her friends managed to cut off the head of the beast, called Roma, but its head grew back.

While Satan, Lilith, her allies, and her demons, were fighting with the Devil, the four beasts, and the four horsemen of the apocalypse, Lilith Satan, her friends, the witches, the Moiras, and the vampires, were fighting with the Specters.

Regardless of the magic and the way they fought, they could never beat the Specters, and that made them feel like they were fighting the wind.

"Let's all use our magic together, to see if we do some damage like this," Hades said.

"Let's do it!" Lilith Satan said.

The moment they did that, some of the Specters were eliminated.

"Hades, my lord, mission accomplished," Lilith Satan said to her friend.

"You're crazy, and I don't like being called 'Lord' or 'Your Highness', I'm just Hades, nothing more," Hades said as he continued to fight.

"Well, "just Hades " thanks to you, the fight got a slight twist. Congratulations," Lilith Satan said while she was fighting.

Seeing that they began to corner him, the Devil decided to flee, along with his army, giving a short victory to Satan, Lilith, his allies, his demons, Lilith Satan, and his friends.

Everyone was immensely happy with this victory that they could not believe it.

They began to hug each other while screaming with happiness.

"Together we are invincible," Thanatos said, immensely happy.

"That is true, and from now on, to start training to fight better and better," said Phobos, just as happy as Thanatos.

Their respective parents, seeing their children in hell, went to where they were and hugged them tightly, while crying from the happiness of having them with them.

"Thank you for coming to our children. We have missed you greatly, and we no longer know how to live without you," Deimos said, hugging his children.

"Daddy, we don't know how to live without you either," Deimos said, as he hugged his daddy back, along with his sister Enio.

"Well said Deimos. What you just said is true. We no longer know how to live without you, and we want to see you all the time and congratulations to all of you for the fight you gave against the Devil and for your excellent ideas, Hades. You make an excellent team, "said Satan, with a tone of sincere pride for the fight given.

"Thank you, daddy, for your words and for encouraging us at all times. But we know we need practice and training," said Lilith Satan, hugging her dad.

"They indeed lack more practice and training, but for the first time, you did very well. Congratulations on the fight, with all my heart I am telling you this with my heart openly," said Thanatos, who had his son hugged.

After everyone was congratulating Lilith Satan and her friends, they went to the house of Satan, to celebrate the triumph they had had over the Devil.

"Little princess, go with them, I have to do something of great urgency, and after that, I will join you," said Satan, while he hugged his daughter and kissed her on the forehead.

"Ok daddy, but don't delay," Lilith Satan said, hugging her dad tightly.

"I will not belong," said Satan.

As soon as Lilith Satan went with her friends to her father's house, Satan decided to go to heaven, to warn God of what had happened.

Satan put aside his true physical appearance and transformed into a man with long, straight, black hair, muscular, black eyes, and white skin.

His clothes, like his wings, are black and he had two necklaces, one that is given to people who are baptized under the Law of Satan of gold color and a black necklace which had a single photo of him, Lilith, and of Lilith Satan as a baby.

Satan immediately went to heaven, where he was not well received. They treated him badly especially Athena.

"Well, if you don't let me talk to God, don't blame us if all the bad things happen to you," Satan said firmly.

"Let him in," said Angel Jahweh, after listening to Satan.

"Don't you know who he is? It's Satan," Athena said.

"I know perfectly who he is. The person who does not understand anything is you, Athena. I have more authority than you; so, I decide if I let him in or not, and I want him to come in, to talk to him, without anyone bothering us," said Angel Jahweh, annoyed at Athena's insolence.

"I don't need anyone to intervene for me, just because you feel sorry. All I will say is that this is the last time I have come here. My people and I are not going to allow you to continue humiliating us," Satan said, upset to see everyone's reaction when they saw him in heaven.

And he left. Before he left, he swore that what happens to heaven, hell, will not intervene to rescue them and what happens in hell, is between them.

Angel Jahweh went directly to where his father was and told him what just happened. God understood the gravity of the situation and tried to communicate telepathically with Satan but to no avail.

After several failed attempts, God understood that Satan broke all contact with him and that he is not going to allow the covenant that existed, until recently, between heaven and hell to become stronger again.

"Son, from now on, you decide what to do with Athena," God told him.

"Okay, Father. I will do exactly what you ask of me. I will take charge of the situation and put all the limits on Athena and her daughter", said Angel Jahweh.
