《The Devil's Parcel》Chapter 18: The Blessed Child
Advertisement
Abel appears in front of his and Lillia's house. It's a house made of oak and stone; the house was two stories tall and five thousand square feet.
The chimney was blowing smoke, and he could finally rest after a long day.
Abel walked inside and was greeted by Lillia."Was everything sorted with Lilith?"
Abel set Lillia down and answered. "Yes, I did. When did you get home?"
"Not that long ago."
"Is dinner ready?"
"Yea, it is."
The couple went to the dinner table and started eating.
Abel told Lillia about the day's events, and she was amazed by the end.
"So you guys found Alastors lover. That's amazing!"
Lillia's excitement turned into sadness. "Wait, what will happen to Lilith if Alastor gets Nora back? He has a kid with her."
"I doubt that will matter."
"Why wouldn't it."
"Alastor was never meant to be with Lilith. Michael is."
"What do you mean?"
"I went to the Ancient Library and read the book on Michael and Lilith. They are falling for each other slowly."
"The Library has books on them?"
"They have books on everyone. The books also get updated as time goes on."
Lillia clears the table, and the two sit together on the couch.
The two were relaxing, enjoying each other company, when Lillia asked, "Can you tell me about your past?"
"What do you want to know?"
"You're really willing to tell me?"
"Why not? We're together? I think there shouldn't be any secrets, so I'll tell you everything you want to know about anything."
"How did you meet Alastor?"
"We were the only kids in our village. He was the youngest of five siblings, and I was an only child. We first met while he was fighting with his siblings. He was defending himself while his brothers were trying to kill him."

"That's terrible."
"It is when I put it that way. Alastor was stronger than his brothers, so it didn't really take much effort for him to knock them all out. Alastor was ostracized due to his appearance and strength. I was the only one who actually wanted to talk to him."
Lillia was crying when she said. "That's so sad. How did Alastor deal with that? It must be so much for a child to handle."
"He didn't."
"What do you mean."
"Alastor didn't care about being an outcast. He would just go into the woods and train all day. Of course, I would always join him."
"That sounds like a sad life."
"It does. Luckily we had each other to cure the boredom. We went on all kinds of adventures."
"What's one of the adventures you guys went on?"
"We saved a unicorn fish princess from the sex trade."
"That sounds like fun."
"It was. Sadly that fish isn't around anymore."
"Oh. How long ago did she die?"
"Let's say a while."
"How old are you anyway?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Try me."
"I've outlived billions of universes."
Lillia let out a laugh.
Abel started laughing as well.
"Imagine if I really lived that long," said Abel
"For real, how are you?"
"I'm"
Abel's sentence was interrupted by a knock at the door.
Abel walks to the door and opens it.
The whole area surrounding the house was enveloped in pitch blackness.
Abel walks outside to talk to the visitor.
"Hello, Alastor, long time no see."
"It has been a while, hasn't it."
Lillia runs outside, worried.
When Lillia reaches Abel, she sees Alastor calming her down instantly.

"Hello, Lillia, it's been a while, hasn't it," said Alastor
Lillia, in a stiff voice, replied. "It has been a while, Alastor."
"Relax, Lillia; we're all friends here. There is no reason to be so tense."
Abel grabbed Lillia's hand, which loosened her up.
"May I ask why you're here, Alastor?"
"I came to congratulate you on your child and wanted to see the crystal."
Abel tosses Alastor the crystal.
Alastor examines the crystal, and his facial expression changes from calm to happy.
"It is you, Nora," Alastor says to the crystal.
Alastor tosses the crystal back to Abel.
"So onto business, Abel." Says Alastor
"What business?"
"Your child. Of course."
"What about her?"
"Don't you feel it? She is about to be born."
"She is about to be born!" Lillia says happily
"Indeed. But Abel, you should be able to feel your child about to be born. It's not every day a new one of us is born."
"Well, in my defense, I'm not actively looking for another one of us."
"I guess."
"Alastor, I've been meaning to ask why didn't you give any strength to Adam?" said Lillia
Alastor turned to Lillia and answered her question. "He has to grow by himself. If I gave him everything, would that be a life worth living?"
Lillia falls to the floor in pain
"The time for birth has arrived," said Alastor.
Abel takes Lillia inside and lays her down on the couch.
Abel extends his hands outwards.
A black portal appears around Abel's hands as he reaches into Lillia's womb.
A moment later, he pulls out their child with care.
Alastor puts his finger on the child's forehead and produces a blinding light.
"That's cold, Alastor. Blessing my child but not your own."
"You know why I won't, Abel," said Alastor
"Of course."
"So what will you two name your child?"
The two responded at the same time, "Eve."
"Eve is a beautiful name. I wish the two of you the best of luck."
Alastor walks out the door and closes it behind him.
Light comes rushing into the room like a flowing river as the darkness subsides.
Lilith comes rushing through the door.
"Lillia, are you okay!"
Lilith sees everything is okay and calms down.
"What happened?" said Lilith in a worried voice.
"What are you talking about?" Asked Lillia
"Your house has been surrounded in darkness for a week."
"Damn you, Alastor. But you hate it when I mess with time." Abel says under his breath.
Clearly, it wasn't low enough because Lilith heard it. "Alastor was here?"
Lillia could hear the sadness in her voice, so she tried to comfort her. "Yea, but he was here only for our child's birth."
Lilith started crying. "So he was here for your child's birth but not ours!"
Lilith ran outside with a face full of tears.
She ran until Michael stopped her and gave her a hug.
Lilith hugged him back and broke down completely.
"Nice going, Lillia." Abel was watching the whole thing through his doorway.
"I didn't mean to."
"That wasn't sarcasm."
Michael picked up Lilith and took her home on top of Cerberus's back.
