His powers are subtle, insidious, infiltrating the minds of rulers and kings, turning them against each other with whispers of corruption, with promises of power. Nations will fall into disarray as alliances crumble, and violence will tear through the land. It has begun. I can feel the tremors of it, the first cracks forming beneath the surface.

Kaua follows, his presence a hurricane of violence. His power surges outward, and I can feel it in my bones—the violence, the fury, the battles that will rage across the world. Wars will break out in every corner of the Earth, civil unrest rising like a tidal wave. His influence is a fire, spreading faster than anyone can comprehend. And when Kaua fights, it is a war unlike any other. There is no mercy, no pause. Only chaos.

His roar echoes through the air as he charges forward, and I smile, a cold, cruel smile.

Nevan is next. His steps are slow, deliberate, as if he’s savoring the moment. The hunger within him stirs, and I can feel it—feel the world begin to wither in response to his power. Crops will die, the Earth will grow barren, and people will starve. It’s already beginning. I can feel the land grow cold, the crops shriveling in the fields, the air thick with an unnatural hunger.

He is famine incarnate, and soon, there will be no food left to sustain the human race. They will be hollowed out, driven by desperation and hunger, and those who survive will be nothing more than shells of their former selves.

Ewan stands silent, his eyes scanning the horizon. His power is different—more subtle, but no less deadly. His presence brings a chill to the air, and I can feel the life around us begin to fade. He is Death, and with each step he takes, more and more lives are claimed. The people who wander through this world unaware of what is coming will not live to see another day. They will fall before him, their lives extinguished in an instant, their bodies empty of breath.

Ewan moves forward, and I can feel the dread that follows him, the silent wave of mortality that rolls over the Earth. As he walks, the world grows quieter, as if the very life within it is being siphoned away. And with each life he takes, I feel stronger, more powerful.

I stand at the center of it all, watching as my horsemen take the world to the brink of ruin. The sky darkens, swirling with the energy of the portal, crackling with power. The winds howl, and the fires that begin to rage in the distance fill the air with an acrid smoke. Cities will crumble, governments will fall, and humanity will be left in ruins.

And we will be the ones to watch it all burn.

I feel Asmodeus’ presence behind me, his arms encircling me as he pulls me close. “We’ve done it, my queen,” he whispers in my ear, his voice low and reverent. “The world is ours.”

I turn to him, my eyes burning with the same dark intensity that fuels me. “It is only just beginning,” I reply, my voice filled with dark satisfaction.

The world will burn. And when it does, we will rise from its ashes, rulers of the new world.

The chaos, the destruction, the violence—it all feeds me. It strengthens me. And there is no turning back now. I am Lilith, and this is my destiny.

I reach out, feeling the heat of the fires, the tremors beneath my feet. The Earth is alive with the power we’ve unleashed, and I revel in it. This is what I was born to do—this is why I was created. To destroy, to rule, to make the world burn.

And I will stand at the center of it all, my horsemen at my side, my lover by my side, and together, we will watch the world fall to its knees.

The apocalypse has arrived, and it is ours to command.

47 - Lilith

The world burns around us, a symphony of chaos and despair. The fires stretch into the sky, black clouds of smoke billowing above cities that once stood proud, now reduced to smoldering ruins. The screams of the broken and dying fill the air, a melody that is sweet and haunting. I stand at the center of it all, my eyes wide with the thrill of it. My heart beats to the rhythm of destruction. Asmodeus stands beside me, his presence a steadying force in the midst of the madness.

He looks at me, his dark eyes full of understanding, full of something more. His hand rests gently on the curve of my waist, and for a moment, I feel the weight of everything that has led us here. This is what we’ve always been destined for. The end. And then the beginning again.

“We have done it, my queen,” Asmodeus says, his voice low, a growl in the back of his throat. His words are both a celebration and a warning. He speaks not just of the devastation around us,but of something far older, something we both understand deep in our bones. The weight of eternity.

“I know,” I reply, my voice thick with satisfaction. I look around at the devastation, feeling the power surge in my veins, the feeling of the world unraveling beneath my feet. I am the queen of this chaos, the one who set it all into motion. I will watch it burn until nothing is left.

But Asmodeus’ gaze is fixed on something else. His eyes narrow as he watches the distant sky, the horizon where the celestial bodies still hang, taunting us with their glimmers of light. “It will not last forever, you know. Even as we destroy, the angels will rebuild. They always do.”

I turn to him, intrigued by the bitterness in his voice. "Rebuild? Do you think they will rise again, just like before?"

He gives a quiet, dark chuckle, the sound low and dangerous. “Of course they will. The cycle never ends. Heaven and Hell, creation and destruction. It’s the dance of eternity, Lilith. One cannot exist without the other. For every moment of ruin, there will be another moment of rebirth.”

I study him, intrigued by his words. He says them with such finality, as though he understands the depths of the universe’s design in ways I have yet to comprehend. His words speak of an inevitability, of a constant back-and-forth that will never end. His hand tightens slightly on my waist, the touch possessive, grounding me in the chaos that surrounds us.

“And you are content with that?” I ask, my voice laced with something darker now. “Content with this endless cycle of destruction?”

He smiles, but it’s not the gentle smile I’m used to. It’s something far colder. “Content? I don’t need contentment, Lilith. I am eternal. I exist beyond the need for peace, for rest, for joy. I am the embodiment of chaos, of corruption. The angels, the gods—they cannot destroy us. Not really. We will alwaysreturn, always spread our darkness across the world. And when we do, it will be more glorious than before. We are the inevitable consequence of existence.”

I feel something stir inside me at his words. I am like him now—immortal, bound by nothing but the will to destroy. I do not need to be content. I don’t need anything but this power, this reign over the world that I have now. The pride I feel swells in my chest, and I turn back to the destruction, watching the fires rage as if it’s a beautiful thing.

“And when the world falls apart again?” I ask softly. “When the angels rebuild, what then? Will we have to do it all over again?”

Asmodeus steps forward, his form towering and dark against the glowing fires. His eyes gleam with a ferocity that matches my own. “Always,” he says, voice low, like a promise. “We will always return. We are the darkness that gives shape to the light. The end and the beginning. And together, we will never stop.”
