Mother Siren, Sereia

Lilith, Vilroth, and the demon king approached the lake. Vilroth kept his head on a swivel expecting an attack to come. The Demon grinded his teeth, the tell giving away his frustration.

"Vilroth stop." The demon growled tossing him a vile of black liquid.

"Stop being an asshole. He's just following your orders, Your Majesty." Lilith mocked with a semi bow her arms outstretched.

She had been primed for fighting, her normal etiquette jumping through a window. 𝘓𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘩, 𝘪'𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘴. 𝘐𝘮 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘺 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮. 𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘯 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘥 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨.

"At least I'm not the brat who was sold by her fiancé for some hundred thousand gold coins."

"Fuck you." Lilith brood falling back behind Vilroth.

Vilroth laughed. "You too would make a lovely couple. The courts would always be entertaining."

"Let's get this over with."

The Siren mother, Sereia, remained the oldest ancient monster in the realm. The texts said she was a prophet yet others said she only speaks nonsense. It didn't matter as long as she allowed us to collect the water.

The pond glimmered the reflection of the afternoon sun. On the far side sat a young woman dressed in a shredded dress dipping into the water and becoming apart of it. She had two golden cat eyes under her normal eyes.

"Vilroth, Lilith, Alastair, you've finally arrived."

"You're supposed to be dead."

"I'm from the ancient race, I don't die. You do not possess the power to destroy me." She tilted her chin up.

"May I collect a container of your water blessed by you, Sereia?"

"Alastair why have you brought the cross breed to me?"

Lilith stared at the siren not looking to the demons to see their reaction. It didn't matter what people said she was, they couldn't make her into a monster.

She remembered the when she found out what she was. Her parents found out at the same time she had. That had been the first beating she'd received from her father. She had been seven years old.

"Cross breed?" Alastair questioned

" I'm half demon half angel."

Sereia appeared in front of us. "I will grant your request, if you will do me something."

"What?"

"You must make a blood oath with me."

Lilith studied the siren knowing she had no choice. "Fine."

The siren pulled a dagger from her dress sleeve and cut her palm, handing the bland over to Lilith.

Cutting her palm they joined hands. Lilith recited the words. "Upon my life and honor, I vow to make this blood oath with mother siren, Sereia, to repay this debt."

The siren finished the oath. "Until death claims her or I."

We unlinked hands. Lilith flinched at the pain of the salty pond water in her wound. Sereia grinned but it faded a moment later. She handed us a flask of her water.

"Alastair, Lucifer is coming back." The siren said unprompted. "He's coming for his throne."

"Fuck." He growled throwing a dagger into a nearby tree.
