The Incessants
Nexus Of The Planet
North Path
Bishop Daimon sat on the grassy ground thoughtful, his face was hidden in his palms in frustration. He couldn't do anything to prevent what happened from happening, he felt so helpless and useless. He could have done more but what could he have done, the walls were virtually immune to his attacks. He couldn't have done anything anyways. He rested against a tree looking at Scott, Amelia, Bella and Catherine as they surrounded unconscious Clancy who has been unconscious for two hours straight.
They didn't know how they to leave the island but they knew William should be back any minutes but he isn't, perhaps he has forgotten about them. They all looked worried, not about Clancy, they could feel his heart beat but about the fact they are stranded on an island in the middle to the ocean that leads nowhere.
"This was a mistake!" Scott complained "He shouldn't have gone with you, he should have gone with me!" Scott thought aloud in frustration.
Bishop Daimon looked at him, his hands on his thighs. He couldn't do anything than to smile at Scott's childish ideas, it was obvious Scott had no idea what he went through. Bishop Daimon was certain Scott wouldn't have survived what he survived, he might be an alpha wolf but that doesn't apply in the hellish dimension.
"What's funny?" Scott asked the bishop angrily "You think it's funny?" He asked and his irises turned gold as he moved towards him.
The bishop was reticent, he never stood in surprise or defence, he just stared at Scott as he moved closer knowing the latter would never dare attack him. He would not.
Scott growled like a beast but calmed himself, he turned at Clancy and at the women diligently. He was angry and everyone knows that but no one knew he was truly angered by the fact William warned them about what could happened, yet it happened.
"I tried my best Scott, you should have seen what i did there to survive." Bishop Daimon finally said.
"He should have gone with me!" Scott argued again pointing at the bishop "William warned us, he warned us!" He muttered.
With that, a break of light appeared and from these light, William was created hovering just and inch off the ground "You called!" He said immediately he arrived at Scott.
Everyone was frightened at first and happy indefinitely except the bishop and Scott. William observed what had happened and his face changed, he was depressed facially and everyone knew that. He landed and walked towards unconscious Clancy, he crouched beside him caressing his right palm just an inch off his face. It looks like his hand was on his face but it wasn't.
They noticed a reaction on Clancy's face as red auras flumed out weakly like multiple serpents. They were surprised but as soon as William retreated his hand in fear, the aura died down. The council was indeed scared but it never reflected in his face, he just stared at Clancy with deep concentration and rose staring back at the crew.
"What was that?" Scott asked but bishop Daimon answered instead.
"Negative forces!"
Scott looked at him speechless and back at William "is there anything we can do to tear those sins out of him?" He asked.
William scoffed "Sins?" He asked and they were confused.
Bishop Daimon answered him instead "yes, sins!" He paused walking forward "I saw the seven deadly sins!" He replied.
William laughed walking pass the bishop "You know a lot bishop but this time, you're wrong." He said.
Bishop Daimon was confused by William's conclusion about him "What does that suppose to mean?" He inquired.
William stopped beside the bishop "It means you're mistaking the seven deadly sins with the Incessants. You're slightly right about them been seven but they aren't sins." He explained.
Scott sighed "What are they if they aren't sins?" He asked.
William turned at them "The Incessants are the seven princes of hell! Sin simulates but not entirely, they represents different concepts in hell different from the seven deadly sins." He began with his hands behind his back majestically "Many believed after my father merged with Lilith, we were the very first siblings to be birth but they were wrong." He said.
The bishop was perplexed "What?"
"Before our birth, our mother had other children with the known devil himself, the king of hell. We were the second generation, other side of her coin." William replied "that was why I couldn't decide what intrigued him immediately he arrived."
"Now, that's deep? Why don't you tell us that before we arrived on the island?" Scott asked.
"Because I never knew they were the creators of the Unholy Books, I thought it was Lilith." William responded angrily feeling pathetic. It was then obvious even the councils don't know everything.
"Then which generation came first?" Scott asked attentively placid.
"The Incessants came first, they were the very first unexplainable phenomenon that struck the planet, not of these world but attained sovereignty first. They were imperfectly created and weaponized, they were the ones responsible for the death of the dinosaurs. They aren't my father's siblings, they were Beelzebub Lucifer's offspring, our stepfather." William exemplified "Not our concerns to begin with!" He added.
"Why don't you tell us that earlier?" The bishop screamed angrily "You have no idea what I went through back in that short hell! I almost died!" He angrily added.
"But you didn't!" William interrupted.
"So, Clancy is what now? your elder sibling?" Bella asked.
"Siblings!" William corrected "The Incessants isn't just one body, they are bodies of specified demon princes." He nodded.
"Did you just say princes of hell?" Bishop Daimon asked, he had come across such explanations before by his father during his explanation hell and it lordships.
William nodded accurately and the bishop remembered "The first plague brought upon humanity by Lilith, now i understand where you are heading." He said.
William was intrigued, he never knew the bishop could know anything about the Incessants "Tell me what you know bishop!" He commanded and Bishop Daimon nodded affirmatively.
"As my father explained to me before his death," he began facing them except William who just listened attentively "He said something about the very first plague after the genesis of enlightenment, he said after the emergence of the hidden world came the first plague that kept humanity and all creatures in darkness for thousands of years." He said looking at William's face and the fallen council nodded in confirmation.
"Before Lilith could produce us and the hidden world, the Incessants were the first to walk the land of humanity, they took over major lands on the planet and named it after themselves!" William was interrupted by the bishop.
"The land of Buer, tower of Stolas, volcano of Sonneillon, the Malphas temple, tomb of Nysrogh, city of Eurynome and the desert of Cresil!" Bishop Daimon listed out.
"Each representing tiniest aspects of their being." William continued but the bishop interrupted again.
"Pestilence, Sadism, Hate, Fear, Wrath, Gluttony and Sloth respectively." The bishop paused "They aren't just demons, they are the princes of the devil, heirs to the supreme throne of hell. Always arguing on whom is suitable for the throne." He added.
"You know according to mythology, hell has ranges and domains. Are these demons or princes part of them?" Amelia asked, she has been hearing a lot about hell and it related species not knowing they originated from it.
William stretched his arms "It's obvious they're not, the princes of hell ruled one only one domain in hell which is the Court of Princes." He explained "And each courts falls under one supreme ruler, Malphas. He's the grand president of the Court and all princes falls under him."
Catherine walked forward "And Clancy represents all these demons?" She asked "How can we get them out of him?" She asked again.
William was dreary, he knew everything was planned by Lilith from the start but the interference of the Incessants means nothing to him. He couldn't describe why his bastard brothers would want to intrude the peace on ground, he doesn't even know the Incessants were the creators of the Unholy Books. He thought he knows everything but to his disappointment, there are things he's not even exposed to, many out of the odds.
"How can we get them out of him?" Catherine's voice brought William back to reality and he stuttered. The team thought they heard him wrong but hearing a council stutter sure means everything is wrong, everything entirely is FALSE.
"I don't know?" William finally answered and there was peace, solemn peace to be precise. Peace with force.
Catherine knelt beside unconscious Clancy again and caressed him by the cheek, she somehow wished she could get into him to see what's happening inside his head but it was just a feeble idea. Her powers aren't enough to create a psychic link with the fellow but thinking about it, she looked up at bishop Daimon.
"You can!" She said which caught everyone astound but with her gaze fixed at the bishop, everyone stared at him "You can!" She repeated.
"I can what? I don't know what you're talking about!" Bishop Daimon intruded.
Catherine rose and rushed towards him "You can wake him up, just do your mind thing and bring him back." She said shrugging the bishop by the shoulders but he insisted.
"I can but I won't, not especially with beings like that in question. I've gone through a lot for the day, I won't repeat that again." Bishop Daimon replied.
"Why?" Catherine and Scott asked simultaneously.
The bishop heaved "My powers are impervious against them, i tried preventing them from reaching Clancy but they were too strong. I felt powerless against them and it wasn't even them in physicality, they were rocks." He muttered "I'm useless!" He added.
William sighed and chipped in "I can!" He walked towards Clancy and crouched beside him "I should be able to deal with whatever lies within him." He muttered placing his right palm on Clancy's face smoothly and red auras flumed again like tiny sparks. He closed his eyes and with a blink, he was gone. Not physically, but psychologically.

Mind Plane
One of the planes of existence in the universe, unlike the other seven planes of existence, the mind plane is a place for mind based power users which allows them to read and control the thoughts and minds of others and project their thoughts into reality or even track minds into the plane. No one holds authority over the plane except their own minds amongst the collective unconscious dwelling in the domain. In simple definition, it's the source of all mind based abilities.
He opened his eyes to see nothing, absolute nothing to be distinct. He was floating in the vast nothingness, he was the only light visible in the plane. He has been in the mind plane like always, it's like the base spot of his manifestation and transcendence. So, he knows basically how reality works within the plane. He shifted his mind to suit his pursue and out of the shards of existence within the plane, reality formed like separating liquids revealing Clancy.
He was scared and lost, William noticed that immediately he saw him but there was something odd about him. Around Clancy, there were seven different perspective figures. Clancy couldn't see them but William could, they were formless and had the shapes of gothic smokes with red burning eyes. William couldn't tell their actual figures but judging by their appearance, he knew they were the demon princes.
William gulped and steadied himself, the clouded smokes of figures doesn't want him close but he had no other opinion.
"Clancy! Look at me!" He called signalling his arms at Clancy.
On seeing him, Clancy smiled and tried to run but he couldn't, his feet was glued to the ground heavily he felt stiff. Clancy struggled to unfreeze himself but he couldn't, every muscle of him were not his to control anymore, they were of something else. He could tell definitely.
"What's happening to me?" Clancy asked William afraid and weak.
William who knew what was happening raised his hands "Just calm down Clancy, everything is going to be fine. I promise!" He assured.
The figures chuckled throaty like giants, their voices choked the very sound in the plane. William wasn't pinched by this, he just stared at Clancy with satisfaction and back at the figures.
"What are you going to do brother?" A figure asked with a throaty voice.
William chuckled and sniffed under his breath "Nothing, just this!" He lashed out his right arm threatening the very reality around them.
The figures were perplexed, William attacked them and out of rage, a figure amongst them retaliated bursting back the reality at William but before the effort could take over, William elapsed it into nothing.
"You can't fight us William, your days of reigns are over as the council, including your siblings." A figure reported amidst the figures.
"Why him? I thought our father casted you away forever?" William asked confused and lost.
The figures laughed but one amongst them replied "First, he's not our father. Cain is your father and fighting over the throne of hell requires physicality. We'll need a body to rule and since our body was altered and deteriorated by Cain, we became imperceptible and trapped in stones but with this dampir, we should be able to continue our reign."
William laughed "You just be Malphas, the one with fear. Too bad you ruled only with fear, nothing else." William smirked.
The figures grumbled laughing heartedly "Trying to rip me off, nice trick council." He replied.
"Actually it's the truth, you don't rule with dignity, you rule only with fear. Craves on the fears of your siblings which isn't proper, it isn't the best way of dominance and right over the throne of hell." William reported.
The figures grew mad but calm, not noticeable on his face but William could tell "Fear is the weapon to all, it brings out the heaviest of weaknesses in existence. It makes them weak while i grow stronger." The figure replied.
"So, he's telling the truth!" Another figure replied to Malphas "You crave only on our fears!"
"He's lying, I would never rule on your fears." Malphas replied but another figure cut in instead.
"You're the liar Malphas, you're the liar! You only did everything for the throne of hell!"
Malphas was about to rage out then a discovery struck him, he wasn't William's plan, his siblings were William's plan. William knows basically how argumentative Malphas and his siblings are in decision making over the throne. So, decision making between them could be late, lasting and endless.
Right time for William to drive in, he clapped his palms rigidly reality released a wind wave that struck the figures. They roared in sharing miseries but before they could hold tight onto Clancy, the wind blew them away like dirts.
He never defeated them, he just erased them from Clancy's consciousness. They would be back, they are part of him now but before their return, Clancy would have known how to manipulate them instead of been a puppet to their wills.
Done, William spoke to Clancy "Wake!" And he woke.
