  Lord Asbaritch finally realised that his first lady was not in her study within the fortress, and it did not take him long to find her, and he was really mad, especially as he had to expend a large amount of energy to come to the world of the mortals without being called by a Satanist. For he had lied when he had told Moira that inter-dimensional travel was not possible, it was for a major demon, however it would leave him exhausted when he returned to the Netherworld.

  “Moira, are you insane, didn`t you hear my warning, do you want Lord Lucifer to have you taken to Tartarus to pay for your gross acts of disobedience?” Lord Asbaritch raged.

  Moira almost said yes please to that question, but she controlled her initial impulse.

  “Lord Lucifer obviously does not mind my playing with the mortals, as for the Christian god, well I think that I understand him better than you do my Lord, he will simply allow things to play out. If the handsome Rob defeats me then God will be fine with that, if he fails then God will feel that Rob obviously did not believe in him enough and that will be fine too.”

  “I do hope that you are correct in this my love, for if you are not then I shall be very unhappy, but not as unhappy as you will be, not if you end up in Tartarus as a prisoner.” Lord Asbaritch said grim faced and still very angry.

  “As long as I do not go beyond this small distraction, my Lord, they will both leave it up to the players as to how it plays out.” Moira replied and then smiled at her Lord and then she kissed him. “God believes that good will ultimately prevail, but then he did not count on me fighting for our side.”

  “That is true my love, you are a one off, which must be why I love you so, but take heed, God`s champion has bested you twice, do not let him out of your sight or he might succeed yet again.” Lord Asbaritch warned his consort.

  “Did you find the Rakiremanin that I left for you my love?” Moira asked smoothly changing the subject.

  “Yes my love and I once again wonder just how you found the ingredients to make it.” Lord Asbaritch replied sweetly, Moira`s disobedience quickly forgotten.

  “My Lord, how did you manage to travel from the Netherworld to here?” Moira asked when the thought finally popped into her head.

  “I am a major demon of hell Moira, I can do many things that you cannot, it will cost me however, I will be totally exhausted by the time I return home. Moira do not dally too long amongst the mortals, it always makes you feel bad, and I am in need of you.”

  Lord Asbaritch smiled at his first lady, his consort, and then he was gone, back to the Netherworld to ponder this strange turn of events. He realised that over the last two millennia he had settled for an easy life, however his new consort was feeling the thrill of her new life, just maybe she would make life a little more interesting for him too, if she was not disintegrated first.
