Nocticula stared at the motley bunch standing before her in court. The inky black skinned demon with four silvery white wings. Her long slivery white hair bordering the delicious grin to grace her face; as she stood up from her throne, the tiny dots of light on her skin begin to sparkle and twinkle. She was naked and unashamed of her body as she assesses her guests.
“Lamashtu,” Nocticula grinning, “how is my baby sister.” Staring at the lion head demoness with donkey ears and antlers. “Got into a spot trouble? Oh Alecto,” Nocticula turning to look at the blues skinned demon with red snakes for hair, “how are you? Still slumming it with Baal I see,” Nocticula staring at the toad faced demon puffing on his cigar; “The Lord of Pollution title suits you. Please put out that disgusting cigar.”
“Nocticula,” Alecto sighing; “can we can the court protocol. It’s been a trying day.”
“Trying day indeed,” Nocticula scoffing; “it wouldn’t be trying if our dear sister Lamashtu didn’t push through her Proposition 13666.”
“I wasn’t there;” Lamashtu having to explain where she was when Laz Deathfire used the senate to push through that law. A law that she is now seeing first hand, predicted what both Hecate and Enoch predicted.
“But why does it have your name on it,” Nocticula throwing a copy of the document to her sister.
“You may not believe our sister,” Alecto sighing; “but she is telling the truth. Lamashtu was with us in the Shahir dessert. We were looking for our kidnapped family members. Enoch was with us,” Alecto adding.
“And where is our dear brother,” Nocticula perking up at the thought of hugging her favorite wolf-taur brother; “where is that big gallut.”
“By now in heaven,” Baal ignoring Nocticula’s request to put out his cigar; “that crafty kid got turned into an angel just to save our skins.”
“It’s true Nocticula,” Alecto nodding to what Baal said; “I was there. I witnessed it.”
******************************************
Hours later and after many trying arguments
******************************************
“Tanned skin, White fur wolf for his tauric half and wings, and eyes that are solid blue,” Nocticula not believing her sister; “He looks like that now?”
“Yep,” Alecto nodding as she watches their sister Lamashtu furiously help refugees as they arrive in the eighth circle; “He had us come to Dis and help restore order, but that failed as soon as it began.”
“Nergal Couping the coup,” Nocticula rolling her eyes; “I never trusted him. So what of this Gaston,” Nocticula pointing to the French speaking demon; “wasn’t he Nergal’s partner?”
“For about five minutes,” Alecto chuckling; “Lamashtu managed to appeal to his common sense. Didn’t know how she did it; but it worked. I swear,” Alecto recalling Enoch’s blow up after reading proposition 13666; “I never seen our sister do a complete one hundred and eighty degree turn after our brother got through to her.”
“And this document,” Nocticula handing the paper to her sister; “will this stand?”
‘The Demon Bill Of Rights.
Article 1: All demons regardless of parentage, heritage; be they born by blood or human born are to be equal under the law.
Article 2: The practice of kidnapping humans for the purpose of pleasure slaves is hereby outlawed.
Article 3: The practice of using a condemned human soul’s addiction in life to act as a sentence enhancement is to be outlawed. This practice run against the treaty with heaven as stipulated in Treaty to Heaven and Hell Volume 2: Crimes and Punishment. Demon’s tempting humans is no longer to be practiced.
Article 4: All demons are to have the right to learn and use portal summoning magic.
Article 5: In punishments of public humiliation, NO damned human soul is to be sexually violated, even in the event of the punishment of rape or other forms of sexual violence. Genitals and orifices are not to be touched, no part of the soul's body may be touched by the tormentor's genitals, and neither party shall be caused to ejaculate sexual fluids.’
“Number five might be a tough sell,” Alecto handing back the paper; “but it if helps to bring unity, I’ll stand behind her."
“You’re not going to lead the rebellion,” Nocticula looking at her snake haired sister; “you are a commander after all.”
“But not a politician,” Alecto adding; “that is our sisters specialty. She’ll gather the support we need,” Alecto popping open a bottle of wine before pouring a few glasses full; “Baal and I will take back the circles by force if needed.”
“You can’t do it alone,” Nocticula accepting the wine; “we need Leviathan and the rest of our brothers.”
“”Loki might need to sit this out,” Alecto commenting; “he suffered a huge blow both mentally and physically when enslaved by chaos.”
“And he is with Svadilfari at the court of Dionysus,” Nocticula chuckling at the thought of the angel with the sexual appetite of a demon trying to bed Loki and Svadifari at once; “Enoch must have been hit in the head when he became an angel.”
“He said Dionysus owed him. Jahi and Ahriman are there as well,” Alecto adding; “and we could use Ahriman he is a fierce fighter.”
“You going to tell Lamashtu to negotiate for Dionysus’s help,” Nocticula giggling at the thought of their sister stepping into the largest den of sex, not realising that demons are already fleeing to Dionysus to escape the current unrest.
“And deny you the joy dear sister,” Alecto grinning; “You were around for Enoch’s wild romp with that angelic satyr. Or you could go yourself,” Alecto grinning; “Didn’t Dionysus try to woo you by comparing you to the night sky?”
‘If only Enoch didn’t commit that act of buggery,’ Nocticula musing to herself; “I suppose I’m overdue to visit him. Lamashtu has things well in hand and Hecate is helping the healers. Plus he might be able to facilitate supplies.”
“Just makes he doesn’t get to touch the goods, as you show them off in all their sparkling glory.” Alecto chucking as she watches her older sister walks away, getting a brief glimpse of her feminine entrance.
"I'm going to negotiate that Dionysus help house the children," Nocticula responding to Alecto's comment; "It would be best that they are kept safe. Plus Hel and Fenrir could help get Loki the therapy he needs."
Alecto couldn't help but nod at that sensible move.
