Interlude: Amarena

On the path down from the Eye of Hell, Amarena, daughter of Leviathan, held her fighting stance as she was surrounded in ambush.

"Come with us, child of the Wrath Sin," the succubus said, daring to stand within reach of a demon that was four times her size. "I don't want to turn this into a fight if I can avoid it. And forcing you could get expensive."

"How about you tell me what's going on and then fuck off," Amarena said calmly. She'd done her job. The Eye of Hell was indeed opening far larger than normal, which meant Heaven and Hell would form a connection soon. A Harrowing was near, and she had training to do if she was going to fight.

"Interesting choice of words," the succubus giggled. "As to what's going on, that's between you and Duke Maledict."
