              DEVONA KINGDOM

In the dimly lit chamber of Devona. Kingdom, Lucifer's body contorted in agony as the searing pain from Devina's torture lingered even after she had paused. Chains, thick and unforgiving, bound him tightly, preventing even the slightest movement as he struggled against the discomfort that gnawed at his senses.

With a chilling smirk, Devina approached, her presence radiating malevolence.

"You can't imagine how delightful it is to witness your suffering," she taunted, her voice dripping with malice as she loomed over him.

Lucifer's eyes narrowed, defiance flickering in his gaze despite the torment.

"Your pleasure in my pain reveals more about you than it does about me," he retorted, his voice strained with the effort to maintain composure.

As Devina brandished a gleaming knife, Lucifer tensed, anticipating the next wave of agony. Each movement of the blade across his skin sent shivers of dread down his spine, anticipation mingling with dread as he braced himself for the inevitable.

"The day you tried to take Deva from me, I dreamed of this moment," Devina spat, her eyes blazing with fury as she inflicted another wound upon him.

"The terms were clear, Devina. You made your choice," Lucifer countered, his voice edged with pain as he struggled to reason with his captor.

"Choice?" Devina scoffed bitterly, her grip on the knife tightening. "You left me no choice but to accept your terms, to sacrifice everything for power."

With a swift, merciless thrust, she plunged the knife into Lucifer's thigh, eliciting a sharp cry of anguish from him. As she twisted the blade, a cruel smile played upon her lips, reveling in his suffering.

"I will break you, Lucifer. Break you until there is nothing left but agony," she vowed, her words laced with venom as she withdrew the knife, leaving a trail of blood in its wake.

But even in his weakened state, Lucifer refused to be cowed.

"You may have power, Devina, but true strength comes from within," he murmured defiantly, his gaze unwavering despite the pain.

Devina's laughter echoed through the chamber, a chilling symphony of madness and malice.

"You speak of strength, yet you are the one shackled before me," she jeered, her eyes ablaze with triumph.

"And you, Devina," Lucifer countered, a wry smile tugging at the corners of his lips, "is a slave to your ambitions."

"You act as if you weren't the cause of your barrenness," Lucifer's voice dripped with disdain, a mocking edge to his words.

"Oh, shut up," Devina spat back, her tone laced with venom.

"I did what I had to do. Now, I am the most powerful witch in the universe."Lucifer's lips curled into a sardonic smirk.

"Most powerful, you say?" he replied, a glint of amusement dancing in his eyes.

"Exchanging your womb for powers? How thoughtful of you," he taunted, his words like a knife twisting in the wound of Devina's pride.

"I do not care," Devina retorted defiantly, her grip tightening on the knife as she traced it menacingly along Lucifer's face.

"I know I am the most powerful witch. And guess what?" she added, a hint of malevolence creeping into her voice.

"I am going to be using black magic," she declared, her eyes ablaze with the promise of dark deeds to come.

"You are so wise, Devina," Lucifer replied, his tone dripping with sarcasm as he struggled against his bonds.

"And you are so mighty," Devina countered, her words laced with a chilling confidence

🔥HELL🔥

"Get all the warriors ready, both men and women, no exceptions," Deva commanded with authority, her gaze unwavering as she issued her orders to Hades, who nodded in acknowledgment before departing the throne room.

"Princess Deva," Lauren's voice interrupted the solemn atmosphere as she entered, but her words faltered when Deva corrected her.

"It's Queen," Deva asserted firmly, her tone leaving no room for argument. Lauren paused, visibly taken aback by Deva's sudden change in demeanor and her new title.

"Queen Deva," Lauren corrected herself, bowing respectfully before her sovereign.

Deva remained focused on the papers spread out before her, her attention seemingly absorbed by the documents.

"It's been a while," Lauren ventured, attempting to break the silence.

"Yeah," Deva murmured absently, her eyes fixed on the parchment.

"Are you okay, Queen Deva?" Lauren inquired, concern evident in her voice.

"As you can see," Deva replied curtly, her tone dismissive as she continued to pore over the papers.

"Um, can you give me some space, Lauren?" Deva requested abruptly, causing Lauren to retreat in confusion, puzzled by Deva's sudden aloofness.

"My Queen, the council members are here," Hades informed Deva, prompting her to swiftly rise from her seat.

Entering the throne room, Deva found the council members already assembled, their expressions ranging from disapproving scowls to outright anger.

"This is how you treat your queen?" Deva questioned incredulously, striding confidently towards her throne.

"We do not have a queen," one of the council members declared bluntly, provoking a laugh from Deva.

"You are quite amusing," she remarked casually, taking her place upon the throne despite the protests that ensued.

"Abomination!" one council member exclaimed.

" This is punishable by death" another said.

"Then come and try to kill me," Deva retorted defiantly, rolling her eyes at their outrage.

"Nobody is allowed to sit on the throne apart from The Lord," another council member interjected sternly.

"Well, I am his queen, so anything he is entitled to, I am entitled to as well," Deva asserted boldly, her words echoing with the strength of her conviction.

A hushed murmur swept through the room as the council members exchanged incredulous glances. But before anyone could react, one of the council members rose from his seat, his features twisted with fury.In a swift motion, he raised his hand, channeling his power to strike Deva with a bolt of power. But Deva was quicker.

With a flick of her wrist, she brandished her staff, its polished surface gleaming in the dim light.The air crackled with energy as Deva unleashed a counterattack, her own magic pulsing with raw power.

The council member's eyes widened in shock as her spell collided with his, sending him staggering backward.Silence descended upon the throne room as the council members stared in awe at Deva, their hostility replaced by a newfound respect.

With a regal nod, Deva reclaimed her seat upon the throne, her authority unchallenged.The tension that had filled the room moments before dissipated, replaced by an air of reverence and awe.

And as Deva gazed out over her subjects, she knew that she had proven herself worthy of her title as queen.

" Now let's talk about how we are going to get my Husband out of Devona" She said and they all nodded their head in agreement.
