Narika: The Ghost Bride-Chapter 90 - Ninety: The Ceremony.

The Underworld.

Lucifer’s palace, Hell.

~~~

It was truly a busy night today in hell, the ceremony held was to celebrate the rebirth of ’the child’. Lucifer sat on his throne, Abbadon at his right hand side, whereas there was also an empty seat beside him. Everyone knew who it belonged to. The chosen one, Adrik.

But whereas, he’s not in sight and Lucifer wasn’t behaving as if he’s bothered about hmit, had the demons gossiping among themselves. The least of them who were clearly not on Lucifer’s side, took it that he was only trying to save his face, since the war was drawing near and he had no weapon to use against the heavens.

Lucifer noticed everything that was going on, the sneers and looks from the other creatures to have been invited tonight in honor of the ceremony that was being held. Rather, he chose to remain immobile doing nothing, but concentrated on the dance the succubus was performing for the crowd.

It left everyone thinking that he had something up his sleeves, especially the Grand Alliance that had gone behind his back to warn his son, Adrik, to stay away from Narika.

He knew everything, his spy that was working for the Alliance had been doing such a great job, and he couldn’t wait for the ceremony to finally kick off so that he could punish those who thought of him as a fool.

On his left hand side were his other sons, and daughter. Aurora, the only princess of hell. She was looking dazzling and Abbadon couldn’t help but steal glances her way quite often.

Azazel has been such a sensitive one, and he couldn’t wait for tonight to be over so he could have a heart to heart talk with his brother, Abbadon. Although his twin brother, Ramiel, had told him to stay away from confronting Abbadon about Aurora, yet he couldn’t sit and watch him take away Aurora from him.

Lucifer smiled when he noticed the tension in the air around his two sons, it reminded him of himself many years ago. Marilyn has been the only person after Lilith, Abaddon’s mother who would have him thinking of killing anyone that touched what belonged to him.

But irrespective of their feelings, it occurred to his two sons that Aurora would definitely be leaving the palace soon, once she gets married. So, the last thing he would want right now was the crowd noticing that his two sons are at battle for their sister’s cunt.

The funny thing about it all was that Aurora doesn’t even know what’s happening, and rather did Dagan who had this boring look on his face. He wasn’t interested in what’s happening today, and Lucifer could understand because he was the selfish type who would rather want the spotlight to be on him on a daily basis. After all, he’s the prince of envy.

But he had far more important things to do, than give any damn care about his other sons who were acting stuoid, rather than the most important one who wasn’t even here at the moment.

One wouldn’t imagine that Lucifer, the king of hell, was finding it difficult to interact with his son. But, it also has to do with the fact that he was waiting for Adrik, to finally give in by bedding Narika. Since, he’s so sure that once he learns about who and what she is to him. Adrik would rather let him lose this battle that was coming, as a payback for treating him like a stranger for years.

But the motherfucker won’t believe that he has left him to stay with his mother, Marilyn who couldn’t get enough and is demanding to see him, was the other reason why he didn’t take him away to the underworld the moment he was born.

Then, the other reason being Narika. He wished for them to meet without having any idea about the prophecy, that would save him the stress that might come later if Adrik decided to abandon his responsibilities.

With that being said, the scriber announced that it was time to get into the most important thing about tonight.

Lucifer snapped his hands to his guards, and ten naked virgins were forced into the gathering to kneel in the circle where a mage stood, preparing for the bloody sacrifice that would end up with Narika’s powers fully functioning after this.

The cries of the naked girls filled the hall, as everyone went silent. Everyone was watching, some had horrified looks on their face. While the other beings who were all too familiar with these didn’t say anything but sang praises to Lucifer, for finding their messiah, the first witch’s child.

"With Lucifer as the overlord of hell, in unison with the son of the cursed prince. We humbly sacrifice ten virgins to welcome the child of the witch, Baram." The Mage said, holding an ancient looking knife while walking around the pentagon which the ten virgins surrounded.

On besides of each of them, had other mages who were black cloaks holding the same knife, awaiting the order of their leader who stopped walking only to stop at the center of the circle where a girl kneeled in front of him.

" With this sacrifice, we call upon the spirit of the four spirit guardians, leaders, and Baram, The first witch to aid us in welcoming her daughter into hell."

The chanting went on, but Oregon who sat in the middle of the Alliance wasn’t himself. He wasn’t focused on what was going on, rather he was worried about Sakura.

She wouldn’t forgive him once she wakes up to find out that he killed her child, but it was better than Lucifer killing the both of them. He can’t have that.

His eyes connected with Lucifer, who smirked at him before waking into the pentagon. The Mage gave him the ancient knife, and he snatched the poor girl up by her throat.

"Can he get this over with, I’m sick of this already." Ramiel said, looking at his twin brother, Azazel who has the biggest smile on his face. Did he forget to mention that he was loving this?

The naked sight of the virgins, ready for their blood to get spilled. He’s the prince of lust, so why won’t he love this?

Whereas Abbadon had this proud look on his face, watching their father as he made the first move by stabbing the knife into the chest of the girl, and so did the other mages.

A standing ovation was made for him, and claps and cheers were raining everywhere as they watched Lucifer’s drink the blood of the girl, in his arms until a sudden explosion by the door caught everyone’s attention.

"What is that?"

Someone asked as the fog at the door didn’t allow them to see who the intruder was, but whoever it was, sure had a death wish for interrupting Lucifer’s ceremony.

"Who do you think it is?" Ramiel, prince of pride asked Abbadon, who surely had this killer instinct look on his face. He was ready to tear the motherfucker into pieces until Adrik stepped forward.

A gasp left everyone’s lips at seeing the said chosen prince standing in front of them for the first time.

"It’s not a rumor. He has come to save us all, all hail the chosen prince of hell." Someone cried from the crowd, and before everyone’s eyes. They praised Adrik like the fucking king he was.

Lucifer stood still, a proud smile on his face. Abaddon was shocked, his hands were clenched in anger watching the one person he wanted to kill.

When Azazel and Ramiel noticed the way he was staring at Adrik, they came to stand at his side, hailing Adrik’s name just to piss him off.

They didn’t know their stand with Adrik yet, but from the look of things and from the way people were singing Adriks name in praise. It was obvious that this was the end of his rule and he’s going down.
