Third Person PoV
Again a few weeks have passed since the last time Cain went out. He was watching the shenanigans in his castle for the past few days.
Scáthach being her usual self, Zeaira trying to know everyone as everyone is family. Sometimes he wonders if she can match that one bald guy from his previous world.
Rayla making money, Lilith being the best wing woman, hellbent on getting the godslayer and Ereshkigal in his bed.
Ereshkigal for the first time interacting with people who don't get scared by her. Grayfia taking care of the most absurd requests of the two new residents.
Everything was pretty amusing in it's own way, but he can't stop now. He needs to get a fairy for his plan to continue.
Someone needs to manage the world tree for him, and who better than a fairy. He first thought about Viviane, the lady of the lake.
But seeing that she was a good person, he changed it to her counterpart the black madonna, Morgan LeFay.
And what Cain found about her didn't disappoint him in the slightest. Having a scheme, and another one in the backup with a plot going in the background.
Not trusting, evil and all kinds of traits suitable for nourishing a world tree for the devils. The only question being
"How am I supposed to get her in my peerage?"
Scáthach was sitting infront of him hearing that she said
"Who?"
"Morgan LeFay, the black witch."
"It is fairly simple, I also have the title of the lady of spirits. I can get her to join me immediately."
But Cain replied with astuteness
"No, I am the king I must get her by myself. If you do so she will listen to you not me. And so did I pass your little test?"
"So you knew, Well i should have expected that. But yes, if you would have agreed I would have failed you."
Showing off his skills to Scáthach, Cain went to Europe in order to get the current location of Morgan.
He knew that she was living in a forest which was completely isolated to any and all normal humans. And there were lot of forests like that in Britain.
Cain was hoping that his sense which could span the entirety of Europe and more will help him find the famed witch faster.
...
Cain was in the middle of a forest currently searching for something he sensed. While flying he felt a spatial disturbance arise from here but soon disappeared.
Feeling that this might be the place he came down and was searching for it. But the pulse never appeared again.
Cain continued searching for it and couldn't find anything so he decided to go into the dimensional gap.
Going in he could feel the fabric of space much better. And he could see that in the forest, there was a little pocket space hidden.
This was much smaller than a dimension, but much easier to hide. But that posed no problem for those who knew how to transverse the dimensional gap.
After all the entire world was built on the dimensional gap, hence anything in the world unless very brilliantly hidden could not escape being breached from the dimensional gap.
Cain teared a part of space and directly entered the little sanctuary of Morgan.
Entering inside, Cain felt like he was inside a different world. No pollution, clear sky, and large variety of animals roaming around. He could even spot some fairies flying in the distance.
The trees were massive and of vibrant colors. And in the horizon a massive castle stood, no doubt the Abode of the Fairy Queen.
Sensing Cain the little fairies came close to him and tugged at his sleeves.
"Devil! He's a devil."
"Hey you, this is fairy territory go away!"
Another one said
"Oh, no this devil has come to help the queen. Our lives will become even more worse."
Hearing that the other two distanced from him and attacked himself with their little attacks.
Cain didn't feel any power in them so he let them hit him and looked at them with his eyes.
But the fairies mistakes him as preparing for an attack and started crying.
"Please, spare us!"
"Uwahh! Queen help us."
Seeing that they were just baby fairies Cain touched their heads and poured a little energy, the purest one he could manifest.
Sensing the pure energy the fairies calmed down and spoke
"This devil is good!"
"Umu!"
"Devil man help us defeat our queen, we will make a contract with you!"
Hearing that Cain said
"Sure, why not. Take me to this queen of yours."
...
Cain while playing with the baby fairies and watching the pocket space, reached infront of the gate of the castle.
Teaching there the fairies stopped and said to him
"The queen lives inside, we can't go in."
"Why?"
"She is scary, she says we lack power and are unreliable."
"Yeah, Very scary!"
"Oh, so you guys go and play I will talk to the scary queen."
Hearing him say that the three little fairies cried and said
"Dont die, kind devil man!"
"Let's play sometime later."
"Beat the queen up."
Cain laughed and then went inside the castle, whose gated were open as if inviting him. Fearlessly Cain waltzed in.
Inside the castle, in the throne room a single woman was sitting. With a large black spear leaning on her throne. Her eyes glinted with mysterious intent.
Cain reaching there stood for a moment to appreciate the beauty of the fairy queen, as he was not uncouth, he was a man of culture.
Long white hair with enchanting blue eyes, a revealing black and blue outfit showing her navel and abdomen. A black crown in her head. And a large black spear resting on her throne.(Image)
Morgan looked like the perfect queen to anyone who met her but to Cain she was not the ideal queen, afterall he had met Scáthach and no queen comes close to her.
"If you have watched my beauty enough devil, state your reason for breaching my barrier and coming to my utopia."
"I have come to the black madonna with deal."
"Do you take me for a fool, making a deal with devil? And that silver hair of yours doesn't make it any better. What is your name?"
"Cain Livan Lucifer, Your Majesty!"
Cain called her majesty but Morgan felt that it was sarcasm. Morgan was the queen of fairies who were almost extinct and weak. While standing infront of her is the king of devils, who are a strong race.
Knowing that she was provoking him by sitting on the throne while he was standing. As this could be seen by him, that she was not thinking him as a equal.
But Morgan was a experienced queen, she stood up and said with grace.
"Apologies for not knowing of your lineage, Shall we go for a better place to talk?"
Cain knowing her intentions didn't cause a scene and said "Sure."
Morgan lifted her spear and started walking alongside Cain. She went out from the throne room and walked inside a room with a round table with two chairs, each made up of enchanted gold.
They both sat on the chairs and then Morgan asked him
"So what is the deal you are proposing to me?"
"First of all lets talk about something. Do you know why no panthron attcks you, like Odin must really want his Yggdrasil to run by fairies not like the dragon in roots and some squirrels?"
Hearing that Morgan said
"Of course I have thought about that, he can't afford to win without some damage to the Norse pantheon."
Cain sighed
'Looks like she doesn't really know stuff or is to lost in her own world that she forgot that Thor is a god in the Norse pantheon.'
"When was the last time you went outside or what was the last major thing you know happened outside?"
Morgan looked in deep thought and then answered.
"Its been two centuries since I went outside and I don't really keep a track of the outside. Many people will figure out this pocket space if I go out often."
"So you have no idea what happened in the devil faction or the supernatural in general?"
"No."
"Well let me get you updated."
After that Cain explained to the witch all that had happened in the last two centuries, and about Thor and the reason why no one attacked her. And finally the devil civil war and the evil pieces.
Hearing that Morgan was in shock, she whose only goal was to rule over Britain mostly ignored this stuff but now she was bewildered by the knowledgeable Cain gave her.
"So you are telling me that the only reason I wasn't attacked was because some another pantheon may use this excuse and start a divine war?"
"Yes, Divine wars are troublesome. No one wants to start it but everyone wants to participate in it."
But then Morgan looked at Cain with renewed vigor and said
"Then I only need to get stronger and more powerful right? If your deals help me with this then I can make it."
'What a woman! Even after all of this she is thinking about manipulating me and using me.'
"Sure, but first answer this. What does any fairy want the most?"
Many things rushed in the Fae Queens mind but only one thing was the answer, even Morgan with all her determination for control and ruling couldn't deny this.
The thing a fairy wants the most is to serve a world tree. Even Morgan was willing to do so currently even if it meant she will be the one serving him, not the other way around.
But Morgan scoffed at Cain "There is only one world tree. That is Yggdrasil."
Cain after hearing what Morgan said showed a smirk, reminiscent of a certain American when he heard a british guy say bottle of water.
"You will be astonished to knew that as of now I have this thing."
Saying show Cain revealed the World tree seed. Seeing that Morgan's instinct as a fairy were raging to submit to Cain but she was a queen too.
She tried to move her hand in order to snatch it from Cain, her instinct making her stupid. But just then she felt death.
From all sides, pure death. She started shivering, sweating from all over her body, nausea hit her like a brick and she was trembling non stop.
Seeing that she would most likely faint and get PTSD from his killing intent, Cain stopped his it and allowed Morgan to breathe as she had forgotten to do so.
"I think your rational mind is back on track, so let's talk again."
"Y-Y-Yes, let's continue." Morgan was still stuttering and recovering from the full brunt of Cain's killing intent.
She was sure of one thing, she can't control him like this. She needs to find another way but first, the most important thing.
"So you are plan on creating a new pantheon, I presume. And you need me to look after the world tree."
"Indeed, I do. The more detailed plan will be revealed when everything is ready. So any conditions you want to put or nothing else?"
'Sheesh! She is back to her queen persona and planning to negotiate, truly living upto her name.'
"I do not have any wish but what about my utopia."
"Do not worry, I will teleport this inside the newly made hell. So you can still keep your fairies."
"I am grateful for that."
After some other minor talks the plan was finalized. Cain took out his bishop and laid Morgan on the table.
He kept the piece on her chest and started chanting.
"I, Cain Livan Lucifer, hereby order you,
Heed me Morgan LeFay, your soul belongs to me from this moment.
You shall become my bishop and rejoice in your newfound role in life."
With that Cain had got the queen of fairies in his peerage. With this the formation of Hell comes more closer than ever.
...
Morgan then went with Cain to the underworld. In the way back she asked
"Can, I call you husband?"
Cain raised a eyebrow at that and said
"Get permission from my wife, Zeaira. Then maybe. Till then lets stick with something simple, what about master or Lord?"
Morgan tried to keep a smile at that but failed, after all Cain was insinuating that she can't control him but he can.
But still she agreed and they entered inside the castle of the Lucifer. And just as they entered inside thay found an interesting scene infront of them.
Ereshkigal was sitting beside Lilith, who was whispering something in her ears and everytime Ereshkigal was blushing harder.
Scáthach was at the side seeing it and shaking her side from side to side as to signal Ereshkigal to get away from Lilith or she will fall into a pit.
Seeing so many Legendary figures infront of her Morgan was shocked, especially seeing the Lord of Spirits, Scáthach Skadi infront of her.
"You never said, that your queen was the godslayer."
"You never asked."
She looked at Cain with scrunched up eyes but went back to normal soon after. Grayfia came from the stairs and announced that Dinner was about to be served.
She was also the first one to notice Cain and Morgan.
"Welcome back, My lord. Will you like to eat too?"
"Yes I would and also make a seat for our newest member."
"As you wish my lord."
Hearing that the other three looked at them. Ereshkigal looked at Cain, then at Scáthach and then at Lilith. And after that she blushed hard.
Cain found it amusing but left this for a later time.
...
On the dinner table, some of the most famous people were sitting.
Cain sat at the top with Zeaira and Rayla at his either sides. On Zeaira's side, Lilith and Scáthach and on Rayla's side sat Ereshkigal and Morgan.
Grayfia was standing behind Cain on his left side while Melissa and Vanessa were standing on his right.
Morgan sitting infront of Scáthach was nervous but didn't show it. She was a queen a she must maintain her queen persona but it was failing spectacularly because of Lilith's empathy.
Cain lifted up his glass and hitted it with his spoon, drawing everyone's attention.
"I would like to introduce the new member of my peerage, the Fae Queen, Morgan LeFay as my bishop. She will also be the caretaker of the world tree. Please be kind to her."
Cain said that as he knew that not everyone will accommodate her in the clan immediately, some will work fast while some slow.
And then the main question started, how to deal with Olympus.
