Sinful Temptations - Volume 1 Chapter 16 The Invitation

Lilith woke up feeling like she had been hit by a semi- truck. ‘why do I feel so weak?’ She noticed that she wasn’t in her bed a lone. Lifting the covers, she found Rosi laying beside her dosing quietly. She smiled, climbing out of the bed she walked over to her closet to grab her robe. She walked past the mirror and stopped. ‘what the…’ she turned back and stood before the mirror.

She traced the new symbols that covered her body. She was confused. ‘When did this happen?’. Nahum walked in the room and seen the confused on her face. “Finally, you are awake. The symbols on your body is the result of your coupling with the demon prince”

“How long have I been asleep?” her voice barely a whisper as she stared at her body in shock.

Helping her into her robe, he replied “about 4 days now”.

“I guess that would explain why I feel so week”

“There is warm food at your bedside” he replied, bringing her attention to the covered tray sitting by her bed.

“Do you know what these symbols are?”

Nahum took a minute before answering, rubbing his chin. “I do not. I asked the twins and they said it is possibly a seal of some sort, but they are unsure also. They stated that it appears that when demons of sin mate with demons of high rank or royal blood, unfortunate things happen.”

“So, this has happened to one of us before? To whom?”

“Apparently several generations ago to the sin of greed and sin of envy”

“I just need to know what is going to happen to me”

Tzoker chuckled, “forever straight to the point” “Well, since me and the twins are unsure, we are going to visit a man that knows more about our curses. The hard part is, his location is not known and he will only allow people in his domain when given an invitation”

“And… how do we get an invitation?”

Suddenly, energy cracked through the room. A portal open and the twins flew from the portal, hitting the back wall leaving a human sized dent. They were both covered in dust and soot. They also appeared out of breath as if someone was chasing them.

Lily and Nahum rushed over to help them up. “what the all hells happened to you?” said Nahum.

Smiling Garvit, brushed off her dress and handed her a black scroll.

Garvish was the one who answered. Grunting, “The dragon demon wanted Garvit in exchange for the invitation”

“And obviously, No one is going to take me”

Lily just shook her head and rolled her eyes. Opening the scrolled it,

I await your arrival

~Master ZOO

Furrowing her brows, “Sorry, you went through so much trouble for this” “Do you know where he is?”

The twins shook their head. “That’s as far as we got with finding him, but the location is useless without an invitation so it’s a start.” Stated Garvish.

Rosi, who had woken up due to the loud entrance of the twins, chimed in “but without a location, how will you .”

Before she could finish the scroll in Lily hands burst into flames, causing her to drop it. The scroll fell into a pile of ash. Before anyone could move to put out the flames, the ashes sparked and flew across the floor, leaving a black marking behind. Everyone just stepped out the way, watching a picture was formed. When the sparked died out, a huge map of appeared on the floor.

Breaking the silence in the room, Lily spoke “I guess that just answered our question”.
