The captains and Liches joined me in the tower so we could make think of the area the gates are in.
"It would probably be in the area." The royal guard captain said as he drew a very large circle on a map the area he was suggesting was vast and would take a long time to find the gates and they would surely attack again before we find them but we will have to deal with it for now but now that we have an area to scout we can finally end this before it is too late.
"For now we keep an eye on the area for any demons activity but we must prepare for their next attack we will mostly bring the royal guard next time we go into battle we will need the numbers especially if we fight in the open the city gave us the advantage this time but next time we might not have that opinion," I said and they left to prepare for the next attack.
It was now time to see the prisoner I walked down to the dungeon I tried to make her comfortable since she was Hecale's mother and since she surrender willingly I gave her a proper bed and a few books along with a candle for light I reached the lower levels of the tower where we were holding her.
I walked past the iron door that separated the dungeon to the rest of the tower above I walked in view of her cell I heard her moaning I looked inside her cell and saw her she still had her suit on so she was just rubbing herself while groping her breasts she noticed me but kept going. "Hello." She said.
"Am I interrupting something?" I asked as she stopped and stood up I never really paid attention to her figure before but she was just like Celestia with large breast and an hourglass figure and large ass.
"No, but your welcome to join me if you want I'm sure Hecale won't mind me borrowing you for a bit and thanks for the accommodations the most I got from Hecale father was a cell until he was horny enough to fuck me." She said as she looked at me with a sultry look.
"Sorry but no and are all succubuses like you?" I asked.
"Yes we are." SHe said simply as she showed off her body by showing off her assets.
"We should head upstairs and get Hecale," I said as she smiled and we headed upstairs where Hecale was waiting for us.
"Mother." Hecale struggled to say through her tears as she hugged her.
"Shhh it's ok I'm here and I'm not going anywhere." She said as she hugged her back.
"So why did you surrender?" I asked her as they broke their hug.
"I sick of Tartarus it was bearable before but when Circe returned it has been nothing but torture there are many demons that don't want to fight being taken and experimented on especially their newest project." She said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Circe knows of your power to bring back the dead and its limits she is making weapons that will destroy bodies of those they kill." She explained and me and Hecale were horrified I needed to warn the other kingdoms.
I cast the spell as several screens appeared they were answered shortly after."What do you need?" Regem asked Toa, Torch, Daron, Celestia, Luna, and Noa asked simpler things.
"I have bad news the demons now have a weapon that will destroy the bodies of the dead so I can't bring them back to life," I said and everyone was horrified.
"Where did you get this information?" Toa asked as I pointed to Hecale's mother.
"What makes you think we can't trust her," Daron said.
"She has nothing to gain and even with this information, it does not change our plans in the slightest also if she isn't telling the truth it won't affect us at all," I explained to them it was true if she was lying it won't change anything.
"True it won't change anything but this is important information that will need to be taken into consideration with every move we make it will cause trouble along the way if it is true." Torch said.
"Yes we will have to put that into consideration but we don't have much of a choice so, for now, we must keep watching for the demons next attack," I said as they all nodded and I ended the spell. "Now that they know that should help them make countermeasures against it" I said to Hecale and her mother then she collapsed.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Hecale asked as red marks start appearing around her mother's body.
"Circe is trying to bring me back to Tartarus I need a contract to stay here." She said and started the contract we didn't need any conditions so it was easy.
"Now all we need is a name how about Lotus." I said she nodded and the contract was finished and just in time she was almost engulfed in the red marks and now they were starting to fade and return to normal she was breathing normally too." It is done now we can breathe easy Hecale can you get her a room I need to absorb the souls that were gathered during the battle." I said and she took her to a room and I went to the room I kept the palantir I placed some guards in there to even since Leo touched it I have felt a little uneasy leaving it alone.
"Move it for a minute," I told one of the undead they were unable to use it so it is safe for them to touch it they took it out of its place so I could place the soul orb as I am now calling in its place the orb illuminated the entire room with red light as the souls of the demons floated around inside.
I placed my hand on the orb and the glowed brightened and then started to fade as the souls were being absorbed at first everything was going well but then I was suddenly in pain and I was unable to remove my hand from the orb the undead in the room except for the one that was holding the Palantir cam to my aid in trying to remove my hand from the orb they were trying to pry it me by grabbing my arm and then the orb and pulling opposite directions but to no avail the pain only increased as more soul were absorbed into my body and soon after I passed out.
