***Prologue ***
When a young student named Damian, found a mysterious box during a dig, he unleashed a trap sprit of a warrior woman. Unbeknownst to him, he triggered a domino effect, causing the arrival of several demons, aided by the word furnace/ spirit engine. Amongst the demon were the; Popobowa and the queen the demons, Lilith.
After the defeat of the Popobowa, four friends; Damian, Dominic, Samantha and Tabitha have been tattooed with an arcane symbol, which prevents the demon queen from come close to them in her more powerful, demonic form.
***Setting the stage: Part I***
Amanda (I)
She observed the group of students inspecting their tattoos, the skin around the tattoo were still bright red. Wrapped in cling film the markings looked excellent and well inked in. Samantha's new tattoo fitted into nicely with her others, they shared very similar themes.
"We should be sure to tip that tattoo artist with more gold." Amanda smiled; everyone turned to her and returned the smile but soon the happy emotions faded and were replaced by pleads of answers.
"So Amanda, how do you know this Lilith woman?" Tabitha pressed, Amanda sighed.
"Well, I think you all deserve an answer." Amanda cracked her knuckles and moved her neck from side to side before he spoke. "After I died, some men performed a ritual on my body, sending my soul to hell. There in the fiery pits of the world furnace, I languished until the day a demoness named Lilith decided that she wished to overthrow her master, with my help me rebelled and won the war." Amanda stopped to catch her breath.
Dominic raised his eyebrows. "But why are you two enemies?" He asked.
"Well, shortly after the war, the dark lord fell and hisβI mean her the soul and powers were dissipated and shared amongst Lilith, some of her comrades and me. Both Lilith and I double crossed each other but I escaped into my own personal purgatory, which I found in the box." Amanda explained.
"Her?" Damian inquired.
"Well, after the dark one's last defeat on earth, the dark one's male form was destroyed so she remained as a female for the rest of her time." Amanda replied, the group remained silence and evermore confused save for Damian who looked as if he had followed ever word she said.
Damian pulled out his laptop and opened up the search engine. "So what is it that we need to recover?" He repeatedly tapped his laptop with his fingernail as he waited for an answer. "Come on, you said that you need our help." He said, again.
"Well, it is called the book of the three goddess or the book of ages." Amanda paused before rushing back into her speech "or the book of three." Amanda said, and Damian searched. The search engine only had mythological articles and artist impressions of the book.
Damian began to read of the articles, consequently from their university's page. "The book of the three goddesses or the book of three is a well-known artefact, an ancient book, said to have been written down by three goddesses from their journeys in Asthanthia." Damian began to skip and skim a few for words of text before continuing to read. "Said to be lost after the Second World War, the last known location was the UAK national library."
Everyone one hung their heads in disappointment; they lost much of their hopes. Damian looked around and began to sourer the internet, looking for old transfer manuscripts for the books. "I refuse to give up hope." Damian spoke in a harsh and determined tone.
Amanda smiled at his efforts and dedication to the cause but stood silent as something inside of her churned. "His aura, his appearance, something about him feels strange and yet familiar. Could it be?" Amanda thought to herself. "No-no-no. It would be impossible. Wouldn't it?" She tried to reassure herself.
Damian returns to the article and scrolled down a few more times. "Oh fuck." He drew the attentions of everyone in the room. "Look at this, Written by Professor Corrin Johnson. Tabitha, your dad wrote the article of the university."
"Aha, Seems about right, he is very obsessed when it comes to these kinds of things." Tabitha laughed off the coincidence "I should maybe, talk to my dad and see what he has to say." She added.
"Yeah, Me and Damian will search the web while you ask your dad and Amanda can try to see what she remembers of her past life." Samantha spoke as she came closer to Damian, hugging him. Dominic caught whiff of her new attraction towards Damian.
"So what err, should I do?" Dominic looked around, and tried he's best to become the centre of attention.
"Masturbate." Amanda said in and humorous tone but with a straight face and then a smile.
Dominic's face however, gave an unimpressed look. "Ha-ha." He spoke sarcastically.
"What? That's what I would have done." Amanda replied and everyone else laughed.
"Well, I've got to go, got some paper work and my dad to interrogate." Tabitha began to text her dad as she walked out. "Bye, guys." She bid farewell to her new best friends.
"Bye, Tabby." They replied.
In her text Tabitha wrote. "Daddy, xxx. Need to talk. Horny as well. Xxx"
Samantha and Damian began to click away on their laptops as they began their extracurricular research. Dominic began to walk out the door. "Well, I'm going off to sleep, or masturbate." Dominic said as she stepped through the door, but no one paid heed. "Dicks." He remarked as he his friends still did not give him attention however, all three heard and started grinning and holding back laughter.
"I too, must fade away. Good luck you too." Amanda waved before she was to disappear.
"Bye Amanda." Sam and Damian replied.
"I will also make sure Dominic's feelings aren't too hurt." She joked as she faded into nothingness.
As Dominic was peeing in the toilet, Amanda appearance next to him, "You know we all love you right?"
"Ahh." Dominic's piss went all over the place. "Fuck off." He said.
"Good." Amanda replied as she then faded once more.
