Prophet of Sins V.2 part 4

“Wait?” Trox stated rubbing his eyes.

A half spider walked toward them on six legs. Her bottom half covered in black fur as the top half of her purple body stretched out the two human arms she had. “Trox!~ Why haven’t you visited recently?”

“He does what works.” Lillian replied. “Shouldn’t you know that?” Both girls giggled.

“Oi!” Trox replied. “Have neither of you noticed that it’s nothing but white!? Lillian, why is your hair red now? Wait, did your eye change too?”

“Did they?” Lillian asked. “They were blue. So yes, if they’re a different color. As for the white void. I was taught that’s just always how it works for summonings. You make your oath, and whatever answers is what answers.” Lillain paused. “Not a thing I’ve ever understood.”

  “If you did a successful summons, and you and Ameri are here. Then why am I here?” Trox asked, still furious.

“Ameri?” Lillian asked.

“Ameridena, or Ameri. Spider demoness of lust at your service, hun” Ameri turned to Trox. “But could you answer Trox’s question? Because I’m not actually sure why he is here either.”

Lillian thought for a moment. “Well normally a preacher is supposed to be a witness when you start making the contract, and the ritual just picks whoever knows them best… So I guess since I'm contracting with a demon, and the former preacher Trox knows you.”

“I gave up the church for a reason, Lillian.” Trox said. Both girls stared at him until he just sighed. “Do you remember why Braoxenqu gave you that book in the first place?”

“He thought it’d give him more rum?” Lillian answered.

Ameridena bursts out laughing. “That’s so like him! Infinite power. The strongest one of all of us. Brought the damn moon down, cause he was told it was made of cheese.  And all he ever move, or even does anything, for is food and alcohol”

“Wait…” Lillian blinked. “He really did—”

“Bring a chunk of the moon down, because he was told it was made of cheese.” Ameridena and Trox said together.

“He is the Sin Lord of Gluttony afterall, Lillian.” Trox continued. “And this,” he gestures to Ameridena. “Is the Sin Lady of Lust. She’ll make any and all desires come true. Even if it means summoning a chimera made out of shadow to make sure a town is safe.”

“Even if it's just to get some vengeance, or to get a forbidden couple to Alkcove.” Ameridena replied.

“You summoned a giant chimera?” Lillian replied. “To maybe keep one town safe, JUST to get one romance to safety.”

“No.” Trox replied, and interrupted both. “Let the contractor do his job.” Both girls chuckled with their hands in the air as he continued. “No, she knows, Lillian. All of them do. All 7 of the sins do what they do, and do it amazingly. So you pick her, and you pick making every desire she feels like making happen, happen. Even if it takes months. Even if it takes years. You will make the desires of the world happen. BUT” Trox grabbed Ameri’s shoulder as she was about to speak. “That includes yours. You can have everything you ever wanted. She knows exactly how to do it, or how to get it. And rules be damn. It will be done.”

“You know, for a man who hasn’t made a contract in years you seem to remember how to sell it.” Lillian replied.

“You’ll do it all then?” Ameri replied. “Be a redhead? With green eyes, since you’ve been wondering, and accept the price of a contract with Lust herself?”

“All those two want is to be accepted!” Lillian replied. “I would know it’s all I’ve ever wanted!” She stomped forward. “I’d take any deal, in this world or the next, to help with that.”

Ameri held out her hand. “You can keep your sun, I’ll take the lantern.”

Lillian gripped Ameri’s hand tight. “If this is your day, I’ll take the night.”

Both smiled as they said it together. “If this is what it takes, I’ll make my own damn light!”
