Archdemon Empress Luna

"You see, Empress.  I never told you the good part yet. The Watcher had turned into a Fallen angel. And his offspring with the Fae he claimed to love and rape afterwards, was the First Born Demon in the Earthly Realm." King Oberon uttered with certainty as he added with a little smirk,  "The Fallen Angel have married the Fae and place her under his control. Yet, the pure Magic he extracted from the Source, The Highest God, was corrupted because of his transgression. Copulating with women wasn't part of the Deity's command. The expanse of his skin was marked with dark tattoos and symbols of a language no one knew.One thing is for sure. It is not from the Heavens."

"You claim that the offspring was a Firstborn Demon—"

"Demons  are the surviving souls of the Nephilim after the Archangels hunted them one by one and destroyed their physical bodies with their Sword of Heavenly Fire." The fine rim of silver in his blue eyes glowed under the shade of the gazebo as King Oberon narrated with a hint of glee. "The Nephilims' spirits survived, roaming the earth as demons. The Archangels never interfered with the Faerie War happening at the same time because they have their own war to attend to.  Nevertheless,  demons were adamant to include the Fair Folk and the other races into the war with the Archangels. Some of them have possessed the bodies of the weaker Faeries as their physical vessel. It made the Archangels difficult to purge them since they either have to severely injure the possessed creature with the Sword of Heavenly Fire which can also lead to their death or they had to perform an exorcism rite to detach the demon from their vessel. These abomination… some of them were quick to transfer to another creature and they have to do it all over again."

"Like what happened at Ostara." Apollyon muttered a string of curses.

Luna felt a stone dropped in his stomach. "Did the offspring have a physical body in the Earthly Realm?" 

She understood the danger and all of them have the right to be worried.

History might repeat itself.

"The Fallen Angel and the Fae have produced Nephilim—a superhuman race who were also taught about the forbidden arts and sorcery so that they could fight the Archangels coming for them. The Fair Folk were created with flesh and blood to look after nature so if a female have bred with a demon, then they would own a physical body in this Realm, but a more powerful one."  Queen Titania answered.

"What happened with the other Watchers, then?"

"Hearing that the illicit union between a light being and a woman from the Faerie Realm, the other Watchers decided to have intercourse with other women they desired, following the steps of the first Fallen Angel. These Watchers have succumbed into temptation by their own choice. As far as they were concerned, they found the consequences bearable, living as a Fallen Angel in the Material Realm with their chosen women. Fallen Angels cannot be guilty of carnal desires since they lack flesh, but they can be guilty of sins that are rooted in spirit and intellect. They left their Heavenly abode to experience sensuality." King Oberon surprisingly returned his attention to her husband, noting Apollyon's arm caressing Luna's back. "—in this way, I can see that Fallen Angels are similar to Vampires."

Apollyon didn't stop touching her.

Even if her husband had too much sensuality in his bones, Luna still accepted him even if his grandparents disapprove of his behavior.

"I would like to think that the Watchers at that time have mistaken 'love' for 'lust' for these women because it was a foreign thing to them as Angels to feel such wild passion. But like angels, vampires were never immune to sin."

King Oberon gave them a half-shrug and Luna noticed that the Summer King's face was a close template to Apollyons's cold, hard profile. "It wasn't only the Watchers who were corrupted by their sins. Other Angels were casted out of heaven in a rebellion against  their Highest God and hurled them and the rest of the rebellious angels to the Material Realm. Their leader, 'Morning Star', joined forces with the Watchers who turned into Fallen Angels to scatter all over the Realms to tempt creatures into sin. Forbidden Magic and Sorcery sent the Realms in chaos and destruction as greed, pride and envy made them seek more power that had infinite depths, battling each other until they die. Stronger demons were created and born from the collective vices of all the creatures in the Realm."

These Fallen Angels might have turned into Archdemons themselves but Luna didn't know any 'Morning Star.'

"The Archangels were quick, cut-throat, and merciless to eliminate the Nephilims. The Fallen Angels were more difficult to handle since a few of them weren't completely annihilated by the sword.  "It was the moment where Archdemons and their legions were rampant on Earth, creating chaos and destruction everywhere they go, terrorizing creatures they could find. Some were powerful enough to seriously injure gods and goddesses and rob them temporarily of their true power. Later on, the Archangels worked, hand in hand, with the gods and goddesses to confine the fallen Angels, Nephilim, and demons to bind their existence into a Realm where they were left to fight among themselves to rule their own Kingdom unless one was summoned, ultimately condemning them to Hell. After slaying the Fallen Angels, their ethers were sucked into a magic container held by an Archangel before they could have the chance to regenerate."

"Princess Sapphire told me beforehand. "Queen Titania's eyes darkened as she raised her chin in a challenge. "You insisted that you weren't the one who summoned the demons at Ostara." 

"Yes, I did not." 

"But you were able to contain them without them taking over you. Your body was able to confine those shadow demons like you are a magic vessel." She prompted, her voice was strong as steel. "Where do these demons go after they entered your body?"

Irritation simmered inside Luna yet she wouldn't cower. "I don't know."

"That is why I want you to find the Tree of Four Seasons if it still existed. It can purge any souls or demons out of your body that didn't belong to you."
