So it was while Claudia was essentially still in
"Junior Kindergarten" and Frankie has graduated to
Kindergarten after her first tour of duty in Hell,the
"School Board and the PTA" were sitting around the Board Room table
waiting for the Headmistress of "School" to explain to them
why they'd just been granted immortality at no apparent cost to themselves.
Something other then sulphur and brimstone was stinking up
the air here.
So in strolled the Devil and his daughter Margaret Cloverseed,who
though they looked perfectly human,were actually older then the
Universe by a few Eternities.
The board room was a fairly huge cavern with the board room table
and human sized chairs in its center and all the newbie monsters
coiled all around it on ledges .
Some of them had already done two or three tours-of-duty
in Hell,and hence knew all about being bug eyed Hellspawn
wading through pools of human excrement ,mating and all the rest during
their tours,and wisely kept the tour-of-duty stuff to themselves.
Let Old Nick and Margaret Cloverseed sell THAT to the
suckers bellowing away,spitting fire and flapping their wings in
bravado and bluster.
So the Devil flipped on the projection TV and a image of
multiple Earth's shone on the cavern wall.
Underneath each Earth was a Year number and a Population
number,starting about 5 million BC and ending with 1999AD,
current times.
Margaret shone her laser pointer at the various Earths
and made sure everyone got the message.
"As the population of human-soled creatures increased over
time,so to did the size of the Earth"
The habitat increased to accomadate the increasing population.
Then the Devil pushed a button and
"BEEP"
the view changed to show a flaming Hell of a landscape with
giant red scaled houseflies,giant green scaled praying mantises
and a whole host of hopping,crawling and burrowing and flying
insectoid creatures.
Beneath the photograph was the caption "Hellspawn"
The veterans of the tour simply yawned on their ledges,but the Devil and
Margaret Cloverseed could see the newbies weren't making the connection ,.
So there were some quiet whispers between Old Nick
and Margaret and a veteran of 3 tours-of-duty
and then <BEEP><BEEP> <BEEP><BEEP><BEEP><BEEP>
a series of photos taken by a photographer
named Carnafra <1rst Order Fallen Angel>
showed a series of images of a red scaled female anthro dragoness
turning into a giant red scaled female fly with glowing red hot
spear bristling all over her body and legs
There was several minutes of silence as the newbies
stared at the images of
DRAGONESS >> HELLSPAWN CREATURE
The Devil and Margaret Cloverseed left the cavern
whilst the veterans explained it to the newbies
Humans werent immortal
Hellspawn were
Anybody in the cavern who was a dragon was immortal
Therefore a hellspawn in their natural shape in Hell
