Chapter One
After the death of Dagon and the end of the Great Eclipse, the followers of the demoness Lilith were rounded up. Lana and Chantelle, High Priestesses of Lilith, were vociferous in their praise of their dead goddess. They went to the gallows for their crimes along with many of the 'Coven'--the first group of women to worship Lilith. The most notable pardons went to Fiona and Thamina, who raised Lily, the daughter of Lana and Chantelle. The pair spent their lives rebuilding Seattle and aiding the victims of Lilith's tyranny. To this day, they are remembered fondly in Seattle where a statue was raised in their honor at Pioneer Park.

Chasity "Chase" Alberta Glassner
I was born three minutes after midnight on May 2nd, 2014 by the old calendar. My parents always said I was the most beautiful baby in the world, fitting for a newborn Goddess. I've seen the pictures; I was a squalling ball of pink, no different from any other babe. They named me after Chasity Sarah Vinter, the Holy Martyr who died protecting my mother before I was ever even conceived.
My earliest memories are of my dad, the God Mark Glassner, staring intently at a map. I was maybe three, toddling about inside an iron room, the
Matmown,
in the mansion's basement. I now know he was plotting the final push against the demoness Astarte, who ruled Western Europe. It has always stayed with me how focused he looked, his blue eyes hard with determination.
I didn't see much of my parents during those first eleven years of my life. The Demons of Hell had been loosed when I was only six months old, and Mother and Father spent a decade prying mankind out of their clutches. By the time I was five, Dagon, Chemosh, Astarte, Baal-zebub, and Asherah were all slain by Father. When my parents were around, they loved me fiercely. Mother would scoop me up, her green eyes flashing with love, and cover me with kisses, while Father would tickle me until I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe.
"Well, at least there's one woman in my life I can win a tickling contest with," he joked as I gasped for breath, his blue eyes twinkling.
"Daddy!" I laughed, such joy in me. Then I would smile while Mother would sneak up from behind.
"Got you!" she cried out and tickled my father from behind.
I giggled and clapped my hands while he laughed on the bed, the seriousness in his face vanished. Only mirth filled his expression. A delight that made me feel so warm inside. Mother would smile just as much as she pressed him down.
"Enough!" he cried out between laughter. "Mare, that's enough. You win."
"Good," she said, smiling down at them. She kissed him.
They always started kissing after their tickle fights. One of the many maids who lived in the mansion would pick me up while my parents loved each other. They'd take me to go play with my half-siblings while Mother and Father did "adult stuff."
Since Mother and Father were so busy, I would often spend time with the other children in the mansion: my half-brother Silas, half-sisters Delilah and Andrea, and my uncle Michael. We were all born within a month of each other; Silas was the oldest, then Andrea and Delilah, then me, and finally Uncle Michael, the son of Mother's youngest sister, Aunt Missy. I tried to play with them, but there was a gulf between us. I was the daughter of both Mother and Father, a Goddess, while Micheal was merely a mortal, and Silas, Andrea, and Delilah were only demigods. Michael had the maids' and bodyguards' children to play with, and Silas, Andrea, and Delilah were inseparable, always getting into trouble together.
I envied them.
It was Grandfather who sensed how lonely I was. He was Mother's father and was old. One of the oldest
appearing
persons in my life. The mansion was filled with young, beautiful women who served my parents, their youths frozen by the
Zimmah
bond. There were a few men married to various maids, cooks, or bodyguards, but it was mostly women in the house.
"Here, Chase, why don't you come read with your grandpa," he said one day, a twinkle in his green eyes--the same shade as Mother--his graying, red hair pulled back into a ponytail.
I was never lonely after that. Grandfather introduced me to the magic of books. I read every day, transported to wondrous worlds. Whenever I finished a book, Grandfather and I would discuss them; he would point out what the book meant, the themes, and what the author was trying to teach me.
"But it was just a story," I objected. "It wasn't a lesson."
"All the great works will teach you something," Grandfather explained. "About life, about love, about history, or politics. Some will exhort you to be a better human; others will show you the folly of one particular idea."
"And what if they're wrong?" I asked.
"That's why you have a brain." He tapped his finger against the side of my head. "Consider what they say, weigh their evidence, and decide for yourself if they are right or wrong."
As I grew older, my half-siblings, Uncle Michael, and I began our education. Grandfather taught most of the subjects, and Sam, the Vizier, taught us Hebrew and Aramaic. As we became older, entering our preteen years, other sons and daughters of Father joined us: Meredith, Lillian's shy daughter; Marcelo and Calypso, Desiree and Alison's children born only a few weeks apart; and, when I was fourteen, little Justin, Jessica's son, started school. Only Gang, Xiu's son with Father, was too young to start his education by the time I turned eighteen.
I devoured everything Grandfather and Sam taught us. While my siblings were bored, I drank it up like a sponge. Grandfather had opened my eyes up when he taught me to read, and our lessons were just more time for me to learn from him.
I came to love weddings; everyone in the family, and that included the sluts, would show up. Mother and Father; my aunt Antsy and her wife Via; Aunt Missy and Aunt Shannon, and their husbands, Damien and George; Grandfather and Grandmother, who looked as young as Mother; and Nana Sandy and Nana Betty. They were the happiest times of my childhood.
The earliest one I could remember was Aunt Antsy's wedding to Via. Andrea and I were the flower girls, while Silas was the ring bearer. Poor Delilah spent the day crying because she didn't get to be in the wedding party. Then Jessica married Debra Darnell, a reporter whose husband had died from the Wormwood Plague. For a while, it seemed that every year, family members were getting married: April and Hayfa, Sam and Candy, Korina and Xiu. Everyone seemed to be in a rush to get married.
Cindy, Violet's wife, explained it to me at April's wedding, "Tomorrow, any one of us could die, and we all just wanted something permanent, something official in case the worst happened to us."
Violet smiled at her and kissed her wife.
And some did die. Hayfa was killed in a field hospital outside Delhi in the final push to slay Marduk; April cried for her dead wife for an entire year. When Ashtoreth, the final demon, launched a surprise attack on the mansion out of desperation just a few weeks before my eleventh birthday, April and Xiu, along with many bodyguards and maids, perished. I watched Father and Mother fight for the first time while hiding beneath a hedge. They killed scores of the demons that poured out of portals opened across the mansion's grounds.
They were magnificent. I truly understood why people
believed
they were Gods.
The demons fled in terror before their powers, and Ashtoreth was forced to kneel before Father, slumped and defeated, before he beheaded her and absorbed her powers.
The Demon Wars that had consumed my early childhood ended.
The world could finally rebuild beneath Father and Mother's direction. Administrative districts were set up; family and friends were appointed to rule over the fourteen districts. Mother and Father finally were home for long periods of time. It was the happiest time of my life.
I wasn't as ready to rush into sex as my siblings. The day they turned eighteen, Silas was found with Delilah and Andrea in bed with him. "That's my son," Father had laughed when he heard about it. "Good man."
It was another year before I was ready.
On my nineteenth birthday, my parents threw an elaborate party for me. It was a lot more "adult" than my previous parties. None of the children had been invited. Bishop Mattock and his wife, Jessie, brought a few temple prostitutes for entertainment. A beautiful Black woman gave me a lap dance as everyone cheered. She ground her plump tush on my crotch and rubbed her ebony breasts in my face. I felt giddy, tipsy on champagne, as this beautiful woman cavorted on me.
"Happy birthday, Chase," Father said to me after the lap dance was over, holding out his hand to me and helping me stand. His cock was hard, and shiny with some woman's juices.
My entire body felt like it was on fire, starting at my little pussy. I'd never felt so horny before, and I wanted to slip away and stroke my little kitten until it purred. I loved masturbating my virgin snatch, and hungered for it right then.
