Chapter 6 - What Am I?

Lilibeth was met with a beautiful scenery as she stepped into the isle,mist curled around the lonely isle,she walked across the sandy path unto the pile of rocks which led to the crystal cave,she could feel her leg peeling as she stepped on the relatively warm and sharp pile of rocks ,the rocks pierced her footwear and she could see her blood spill on the rocks,she was in pain but yet unfazed,it was a sacrifice she knew she had to pay, no one promised the journey would be easy.

She finally got to end of the rock path,she was met with a dead end,a waterfall, could this be the way or did I take a wrong turn,she thought to herself.

"It's been quiet long I saw a witch cross this path" came the voice of an old lady from behind the waterfall

"Sorry,who are you ma'am?" Lilibeth inquired

"I'm no one yet everyone,no witch has crossed this path without my help" said the old lady.The lady placed her hand on the waterfall and sunddenly a passageway was created revealing a well lit up cave,she beckoned on Lilibeth to follow suit which she did.

"The key thing about this cave young lad,if you want to get out of here alive is that you don't get lost " she warned Lilibeth who was already lost in amazement for the beauty of the crystals that adorned the cave .

As they got to what seemed like the end of the cave,the old lady led her to an orb which was floating mid air, two old women suddenly appeared behind the orb, Lilibeth tried to run but her supposed guide held her back ,"you don't have to run, I'm one with them" said the woman as she walked forward and stood in the middle of the two women.

"We are the fates" said the three old women in unison.

"The thing about your destiny girl,is that no one knows your true power except you and that orb ,you have to connect with your ancestors true that orb, remember do not try to resist and matter what,do not let go of that orb",the fates warned.

Lilibeth reluctantly placed her right hand on the orb as the Fates muttered"actuare" , sunddenly the orb lit up and she was drawn into a trance,she saw herself standing in a lonely land, everything was still,"where am I?" She asked loudly,then a voice came from the dark,"you're at the beginning of time , and I shall lead you to that which you seek"

She followed the voice to a garden of roses, there she met the beautiful lady who led her to the garden of roses in her dream ,she was in the arms of a young man, handsome and we'll built,they caught her staring and the Lady called out to her ,"Lilibeth come here my child,we are your blood,you don't have to be scared",the lady drew her into an embrace immediately she got close to her.

"I'm so happy to see you my child" said the man,a small boy suddenly ran out of the garden,his skin was pale as if he was dead,he hugged his mom, everyone seemed happy but then the dark cloud appeared again,the beckoned and cried for the three to make a run for it but none of them moved an inch, just like in her dream,the three disappeared into the dark cloud, Lilibeth fell to the floor crying.

"You don't have to cry my child,you still have a long way go" came the voice of the fates again, they were standing right in front of her.

"Who are they ?"Lilibeth asked .

In unison once more the fates answered "they're the blood of your blood the flesh of your flesh".

"Come on child,let's go"said the fates,they led her into another scene,the air ceased, everywhere was dark and eerie but she could see a couple arguing,"Lilith ,we have to get rid of that bastard son of yours,he is a threat to my son Asmodeus and I won't have it"argued the man.

"Samael ,he is my first born son,i can't get rid of him,how do you expect that of me" said the lady in tears.

"Son?,you mean the bastard you bore for that human ,Adam?,what am i even saying,the creature you gave birth drinks blood,his father's blood to live,with all his pale skin and pointy teeth, whatever that thing is,you won't raise it here in my realm, I'm the prince of hell and i won't have my ego stained on like that, you're lucky I let it live"

She walked closer to the couple, she recognized the lady to be the one she met in the rose garden,"the rose lady is Lilith?" she turned around to ask the fates but was met with another event.

It was a wedding, guests were seated,she saw samael (the man who argued with Lilith), standing beside who seemed like the groom,she walked past them and behind all the crowd who gathered for the wedding was a woman ,she had a snake around her kneck,she kissed a younger lady who seemed like the bride on the head

"Circe darling, you know i oppose this union of yours with the demon prince Paimon but if it's what you want,I'm your mother after all and i have no choice but to support you"said the woman as she hugged the bride.

"Thank you Hecate" Circe said as she let go of her mother and followed the maiden who came to fetch her for the wedding.

Lilibeth was stunned,she just saw Hecate,mother of all witches,she tried to approach her but she was suddenly pulled away by a sundden force,the voice of the fates echoed in her ear"do not get lost child".

Lilibeth stood in a dark alley,few feet ahead was a door leading to a room,as she walked into the room,she was met with the beautiful scent of flowers ,a couple lay on the bed in the room wrapped in eachothers arms in romance.

"Medea ,you'll miss your sisters wedding if you stay there " the man said as he kissed the lady once more.

"You know i don't fit in there vampyras,i can only be myself when I'm with you, and yah,I know my mom would kill me if she found out i was sleeping with Lilith's bastard son the vampire,but can we just have the moment please"Medea said mockingly as she placed a kiss on vampyras cheek.

"Well what have i to loose asides my head if Hecate finds out"mumbled vampyras as he placed a kiss on Medea's lips.

The fates appeared again, "Come Lilibeth" they said as they led her to the door of another room, but this was not just any room,it was the throne of hell, Samael was seen sitting on the throne adorned with skulls, demons surrounded beside him where his son's, Asmodeus, Beelzebub,Paimon, and other princes of hell, infront of the throne was a man,his feet and legs were chained up ,he looked up, Lilibeth was shocked,he just saw the man in the previous room,it was vampyras,Medea's lover.

Samael cam forward carrying a sword,"for far to long ,we have allowed our self to wallow in mistakes for far too long,we let this creature live and now he decided to rebel against this throne and he must meet his death ,he handed the the sword to Paimon who executed the man,all the demons began to cheer.

"It's one of the endless"screamed one of the demons

"And what are you doing in my realm Destiny?" Samael asked .

"You have spilled Innocent blood Samael and for that reason you shall face judgement" Destiny responded.

The entire room was filled with laughter in mockery of his statement but he there he made a prophecy ,

"In a thousand years,a maiden will be born to your household and that of the forsaken,she shall be the bridge between all entities,defender of the powers there be and the throne which thou protects with all might shall be threatened"
