Mammon Dwelling:

Mammon smiled when he saw Dark approaching him in anger. Dark's angry strides nearly made him laugh and he knew he couldn't tell him that. He relaxed in his huge throne chair and tilted his large head to one side.

"I can see she told you about my visit then," Mammon said with a chuckle as he couldn't bear it any more. Seeing Dark here, he already knew what had brought him.

"Why did you visit her?" He asked, standing in front of his throne.

"I gave her my message, that's all." Mammon answered with a light shrug.

"Who amongst you is planning against me?" Dark asked. What Raziah had told kept ringing in his head and he knows he has to find out who amongst them is planning to kill him and the only person who can answer him is Mammon.

"You and I know everyone of my brothers hates you, including me, you were a mistake and if we hadn't listened to Belphagor that day, you wouldn't have been born."

"Well too bad I was born and there is nothing none of you can do about it, you can't change the past Mammon," Dark said, his anger fading away.

"True, that's why my hatred for you has faded away if not, I wouldn't have given you a hint of your woman going astray nor would I come to warn her about the mistake she was about to do, but knowing who you are, you might have already figured out the plan and just went along with it, right?" Mammon told him with a grin, his sharp teeth giving a frightening sight.

"You're damn right and this little speech of yours hasn't changed anything between us." he told the big Demon who laughed.

"I am right then." Mammon said as Dark scrowled darkly at him. "Admit it Dark, I am your most favorite, that's why you brought your woman first to meet me and you're my favorite too." He added.

"She is not my woman and I came here to warn you to never approach Raziah again without my permission." He warned.

"Understood, I won't. I could have said 'crossed my heart' but I would be lying if I did that," Mammon said and sighed when he saw how Dark's face had darkened the more at his words. "I won't come to her without your permission Dark, you have my word." He promised.

"Better, but you still haven't replied to my question Mammon or is it too hard for you to answer?" Dark said with raised brows as his eyes never left Mammon's own. Who amongst them was planning against him?

"Belphagor." Mammon answered and it was now Dark's turn to laugh which left the big Demon confused. "What's so funny? I just told you who is planning against you and you are laughing?" He asked with a deep growl which didn't faze Dark at all, in fact he increased his laughter.

"So it's that trickster that Hydra is working with? I wonder what he promised her." Dark answered as he stopped laughing and putting on his serious face.

"Well it wouldn't have bothered me if they weren't trying to free Lucifer, that's all I know. I should be happy that the last Prince of Hell will be getting free soon but I am not. We brothers have been at peace since but if he is out, hell won't contain us anymore. He will take everything, he is much worse than Belphagor and the rest of us. He is one of a kind." Mammon told him.

"Well, thanks for this piece of information you've given me Mammon. I came here for something else and you gave me a very good information," Dark said after a while of silence. "Bye Mammon." he added and turned to leave.

"Take care of yourself Dark and don't die out there. In as much as we don't have that bond- father and son- between us, I still want you to stay alive and trouble us more with your presence." Mammon said but Dark didn't stop neither did he show any sign of him hearing what he had just sprouted out.

Zelina (Hydra) Hideout:

The sun was down and the moon was yet to come out by the time Zelina (Hydra) appeared in front of her cave. Looking at the Demon's littering around and still, she smiled and entered the mouth of the cave.

Amaya opened her eyes when she heard some footsteps heading towards her in the cave. From the scent of the approaching person she waited.

Zelina (Hydra) came to view. Inside the cave was a single candle light which was burning and giving a bit light to the dark surroundings.

"You're back? I thought you would sleep there, where else did you go because I know Aragorn wouldn't have delayed you."

"Yes, after I visited Aragorn I went to meet Belphagor." Zelina (Hydra) answered.

"Okay, so the plan is still on?"

"Yes, it's still on and Aragorn is fully ready just in case the first one didn't work," Zelina (Hydra) answered and sat down on the cold floor, resting her back against the wall, sitting opposite Amaya. "I will have to summon that wolf here so I need to rest, especially my head and heart to do that." she added, closing her eyes.

"I need to go and see Dark to be sure he is okay." Amaya said all of a sudden which prompted Zelina (Hydra) to open her eyes.

"Amaya, you will go but not now."

"Why shouldn't I go? I have been patient enough to wait for your return or do you want him to die? Was that your plan?" Amaya asked with narrowed eyes.

"No, not at all. Stop thinking that Amaya, you and I know that I can never think to hurt you. I don't know what you see in Dark though, I should have killed him." Zelina (Hydra) told her.

"He loves me and that's enough to keep me going. Besides, you now have his powers in you so him being alive shouldn't be your problem." Amaya reminded the woman of Dark's power in her.

"True, but then again," Zelina (Hydra) said, pausing to summon the dark power at the tip of her fingers, staring at them as it began to fade. "Why does this power feel empty like it's not real. At first the power felt heavy when I was taking it from his body but now it feels like I didn't take anything from him, it's as if it's worthless."

"That's because you are just getting used to it, Zelina."

"I know what I am saying Amaya, I feel the same and it feels like I did not have his power in me at all."

Getting up to her feet. "I still have to go and meet Dark, I need to heal his wounds and care for him so that he could recover, maybe doing that would make him forgive me faster," Amaya said with a smile. "What about the antidote for the poison you put in him, I need to cure him Zelina, you promised me and as your friend you can't go back on your words." she added.

Zelina (Hydra) nodded her head in agreement. "I will keep to the end of my bargain Amaya, you've helped me a lot." she told her and place her two palm against one another and whisper some words before blowing into it, bright light was seen coming out from the closed palm and soon it fades away, when she opened her palm, there was a small transparent bottle which contents was whitish in color and boiling, the boiling substance didn't affect the small bottle. Zelina (Hydra) fling the bottle at Amaya who caught it with quick flex.

"What's this?" Amaya asked, looking at the bottle in her hand. The bottle felt cool in her hands.

"The antidote to stop the poison." Zelina (Hydra) answered. 'That is if it hasn't killed him yet. It's one of the reasons I delayed myself from coming soon.' She said it in her mind.

"I know it's the antidote but what did you mix inside?"

"My dragon saliva." She replied to Amaya's question.

"Thank you Zelina," Amaya said and left her friend's presence.

Rolling her eyes at Amaya, she closed it to concentrate. It wasn't even up to two minutes that Amaya left when she heard a loud 'Oh no,' coming from her. Opening her eyes and heaved out a sigh, she waited for Amaya to come to her and within the next five seconds the running feet of Amaya greeted her ears.

She wondered what the problem might be. She had indeed given her the real antidote so what happened?

Amaya stopped in front of her and pointed outside the cave.

"Did you see the demons when you were coming inside?" She asked, looking at Zelina (Hydra) in the eye.

"Yes, why?"

"There are no demons." Amaya answered.

"What do you mean?" Zelina (Hydra) furrows her brows as she awaits Amaya's response.

"There is no demon, not even one, it's empty Zelina. it's fu¢king empty."

I'm back now. Thanks for your patience my friends.
