Belial nodded his head as he motioned for CatClaw to follow him to a nearby room, when they entered CatClaw would be able to tell that it was a lounging room with a cozy fire place, and a red and black motif that thanks to the firelight was actually not intimidating, just warm. He sat down and motioned for CatClaw to sit in the chair across from him. Belial sat back, though his impressive body was still on display for CatClaw, for once he wasn’t trying to show off.
“The cooks will bring out our food once everything is finished, now you said you wanted a story, and I may have a few. But the story I will share with you is only known to very few, most are divine or demonic beings, that or ancient primordial ones.”
He cleared his throat and sat up straight before he started. “Long ago, during a time when even the gods, devils, demons, and spirits of this and other worlds were young, one god, in selfish desire a goddess’s lands, body, heart and soul, started a war that soon spread to encompass all with power.”
“Set has been fighting Bast for centuries already before this, but to Gods this is little time and meant they were still goin learning their powers. Sadly for Bast she was a younger generation of divine beings. Without her few allies Bast wouldn’t have been able to fight off Set. So one day as her allies rested, Set attacked Bast’s lands with the help of other gods, all male. Set had made a pact with the other lonely male gods who wanted submissive but godly wives and everything the goddess owned. You could call it a misogynistic war but it was mainly just male gods getting greedy.”
“Bast was able to get her allies and herself away from he lands but Set has pushed her out and Bast was losing her power as Set started to claim her land. If he did so completely, Bast would be his obedient concubine as all that was hers and made her ‘Bast’ he would own. To this day I don’t know how she and her companions, mainly other goddess of nature and animals, found me. They entered my domain, and sometimes I feel the Fates were involved.”
Belial made sure to see if he still had CatClaw’s attention, though he smiled at her and kept eye contact and had been talking with his hands as well the whole time he spoke.
“Bast knew she was running out of time, and didn’t have time or the spare power to try and find help somewhere else. Her allies were also losing their power because the gods that wanted them were also in the process of stealing their power. Hearing that with the gods successful and sudden surprise attack that almost all the animal and nature goddess were being enslaved, I did feel for their plight. But nothing is ever free. So I asked what they could offer me for their help.”
“Bast and the other talked for what seemed like hours, but when they returned, they said Bast and all the nature and animal goddess would owe me a personal favor, and though that was tempting, I was thinking how many of them would kee their deal. Though that’s when Bast said she put in a word with the other high gods and goddess. What for you may ask will be something you’ll have to find later, though with that part added to the deal, I devised a plan to help the goddesses take back their power and domains.”
He paused for a second to build up the almost palpable pressure in the room from the story. “Now I’m a demon, and like most demons almost none of my kind are strong enough to even handle minor gods. I however am able to but against the like of Set, I would die swiftly. So with only a day to prepare a trap I had made years ago myself if the need ever arises, I sent Bast and her goddesses all to one field for a final battle.”
“The male gods of course couldn’t help themselves and tried to attack the goddesses who had been severely weakened. Though the second the gods were within a hundred feet of Bast and the others, I appeared and with a wave of my hand there was a visible shift in power. I had literally moved all of my realm that we are currently in to the battleground, hiding it under illusion.”
“Now since I don’t know how much you’ve dealt with gods or my kind I’ll explain what this means. In my realm, I control all, everything. If I wished I could turn you or Bast or anyone else into a mindless slave. Back then I wasn’t as powerful but what I did was enough to change the battle. I had given every goddess a weapon from my realm, made from my own claws and teeth, and those hurt to regrow. What these weapons did was temporarily make them each a Guardian of Belial.”
“This meant that they had limited control of the area around them in about a five foot radius. This might not sound like much but it meant they were almost impossible to hit and could hurt their male counterparts more easily. I personally fought alongside Bast against Set. I took a grevious wound for Bast so she could land a blow on Set that sealed him for centuries. I didn’t wake up for a long time though Bast had had her servants keep me alive. What really surprised em is that every goddess I had helped had kept their promise to me. Though I have never called in my favors yet.”
Belial laughed as he started the next bit, “The funniest thing, is that some of the goddesses later married the gods that they had fought finding that through the fighting, they had found those they were compatible with. Others did it because they saw it as beneficial.”
He leaned back as three imps came in with their food. “Well that’s one of my stories, I hope it was to your liking, I don’t tell them often so sorry if I didn’t go as into detail, though I will admit parts of that one are more fuzzy than others. Also enjoy the food.” He grinned at her as he started to eat.

Leonis was angry that Silveria thought he would personally harm his mate and young. When she yelled at him he felt something snap, something that had wanted to be out for a while.
His form bulked up as his eyes turned red and his naked body was soon covered in black demonic markings, his cock and balls also grew.
With a roar he grabbed her face roughly with his large hand, her being tied up meant she couldn’t do anything to resist him. “I will do to you what I want! But even as I break your body and mind to obey me and worship me like the wife you’re supposed to be, I will never harm you permanently or harm our children! Everything was under control and still is. I’ll breed you when I want, force you to choke on my cock when I want, train you when I want. You forget that you owe me everything and that I have magic that would have stopped all harm to you! So don’t go accusing me of trying to harm you!” After his rant Leonis let go of Silveria but not before pushing her towards the book still tied up.
With nothing else to say, he touched the book and with that a flash of light caused by his marks, sent them both hurtling through space and time.
