Shadow of New Orleans II - CAN BE READ ON IT'S OWN, without the first part!
Continuation of the Alastor radio station backstory ???? A witchy themed love story, with each chapter symbolizing a Tarot card from the major arcana.?
The story's first p...
"Mother Lilith! I need to talk to you! Are you in here?" You ask walking through the long hallway, decorated with pictures and expensive-looking art.
The demoness steps out of the room, her eyes glowing with annoyance. "What is it you need, child? My daughter is sleeping, you will wake her with your insolence."
She walks to a long room, and you follow her, watching as she turns around waiting for you to get started.
"Apologies for my intrusion Miss Lilith, I just could not wait longer. Thoughts are torturing me, and I desperately need your help."
"What is it then?"
"It is about... my memories. Since my death, I have had a hard time recalling certain times, and my mind is filled with gaping holes. Please, tell me how to be whole again. What could have happened to cause me to lose myself, Mother?"
Lilith narrows her eyes, her hair starting to flow more freely. "Whatever you forgot must be only for the better. The past is a dangerous thing, my child, it can be a weapon but the weapon can turn on its own user. Try to trust yourself, and bask in your potential I helped you to unleash, and do not look back!"
Looking a little sheepish at her sharp tone your eyes travel to the rich-coloured carpet at your feet. "I try, I try to let go, but these gaps keep taunting me. Alastor says-"
Lilith hisses the moment you say his name, her hair all around her "Don't tell me my child that you want to have anything to do with that pest. I knew he would go and find you, but I hope you would have better judgment than to notice him. The Shadow is nothing more than a mindless killer, a tool at best. See for yourself"
Before you could force a reply out, to your horror Alastor appears in the middle of the room, falling to the floor. Getting up and dusting himself angrily, he speaks in a low tone littered with radio noises.
"Merde! What do you want now, Lil-"
He freezes as he looks right at you, eyes wide, his hand stopping mid-air.
"Darling? What is the meaning of this?!"
He looks at Lilith, his antlers growing at a dangerously fast rate, static getting louder by the second.
But as Lilith looks down at him with freezing eyes filled with hatred, she lifts a hand a purple chain appearing in her hand, and on the other end holding Alastor's neck. All you can do is watch speechless as she smacks him down by the soul chains, hitting him hard on the floor again.
"Silence. You speak when spoken to. You see my child, you may think he is a loyal friend or lover of yours, but you are wrong. He is selfish, and nothing he does he does for others. Tell her, Shadow, why you took interest in her the very first time!"

Alastor's eyes jump back and forth between you and Lilith, a reserved but confused look on his face. In the same way, you didn't know Lilith had her under contract, you also never mentioned your involvement with her, although briefly mentioned being part of the Sisterhood but nothing too specific about the source of power herself.
