***************************
Zamiel stood in front of the ocean watching the gentle waves in silence. It reminded him of his first kiss with Heaven, but he wasn't here to enjoy the view or the memories. He was here on a mission.
As soon as Heaven left, he began with his plan. Beside confusing the devil, there was one thing he thought would help him, and it was the thing that confused him.
The possession.
It was unlike Lucifer to possess someone. Zamiel knew there would be severe consequences of taking away someone's free will, but he didn't know what the consequences were. Since possession was unusual, only a few knew what really happened. The rest only speculated, and Zamiel didn't know whose information he could trust.
He needed a reliable source, and he could only think of one person. The first created water djinn.
It was perfect because now he could find information without the devil knowing. The devil only had access to what happened on land since those he wanted to mislead were humans. Under the water he would be safe from the devil's eyes and ears.
Zamiel removed his shirt before walking into the water. It was cold, but it didn't bother him. He walked further in, and then he dived into the ocean. He didn't have to swim all the way to the water djinn's land. He teleported until he came to their safety walls that no one from outside could enter.
Zamiel stood at the gate. Using his powers, he reached inside Axia's mind and called to her. She was quick to respond and sounded happy to hear from him. Soon the gates opened and he could enter the enchanting lands of the water djinn. No place on earth looked this beautiful, and Zamiel had seen most places on earth.
Axia stood at the entry with her mate. Zamiel hadn't met him before, so she introduced them. His name was Stilos, and he was a young demon. Not older than two-hundred years.
"You came sooner than I expected. Did something happen?" Axia asked him. She knew him too well.
"I came here to meet Euphorion." Zamiel said.
Her eyes widened. "You know he doesn't like land demons." She reminded.
"I know. Tell him it is Zamiel." He said.
"Do you know each other?" She asked, surprised.
"A little."
She nodded. "Alright then. Follow me."
Euphorion had his own kingdom under the waters. He was not only a lord, but a king as well. The good thing about being a water djinn was that they could live without hiding themselves from the humans. Under the waters they were free.
When they reached his castle, they were stopped at the gates. The guards became a bit defensive when they noted that he was a land demon.
"Let Lord Euphorion know that Lord Zamiel is here to meet him." Axia told the guards.
One guard disappeared and came back quickly. He gave the other guards a nod to let them in.
"I'll be alright from here." Zamiel told Axia.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"I will come and meet you after." She said.
Zamiel nodded.
The guard showed him the way and soon he came face to face with a djinn he hadn't seen for a very long time.
Euphorion. An ancient water djinn. The first of his kind.
He was the epitome of unique beauty. People would describe him as strange, yet mesmerizing. He had icy blue hair that fell over his shoulders in gentle waves, and his bare skin was pearl white. His lower body was covered in iridescent fish scales and his eyes shifted color as they turned to look at him.
He tilted his head to one side and gazed at him curiously. "What brings an ancient land demon here?" He asked.
"I came to ask for your help." Zamiel said.
Euphorion became even more curious. "You need my help?" He arched one brow.
"Yes."
"If you came to ask for forces than you should know that water demons don't get involved in the conflicts you have on land." Euphorion reminded.
"I don't need your forces. Only your knowledge. Do you know anything about demon possession?" He asked.
Euphorion was one of the longest living djinn. Zamiel suspected that he knew more than most djinn knew about anything.
Euphorion narrowed his eyes. "You should know better than to possess someone." He said.
"What are the consequences?"
Euphorion walked over to the white couch in the room and sat down. He crossed one leg over the other. "In worst case, you could be trapped in the person's body forever."
"And if not?"
"If not, then you could end up with the person's dreams, memories, emotions, characteristics, or all of them. That will confuse you, change you, disturb you and maybe even haunt you if that person had a bad experience."
"Are you sure about that?" Zamiel asked.
"You came here because you know that I know for sure."
So the devil would end up with Heaven's emotions, characteristics, or memories? He must have known that, so why did he do it?
He probably thought that nothing could happen to him. That he was untouchable.
"Who possessed who?" Euphorion understood that Zamiel wasn't asking because he planned to possess someone.
"The devil possessed my mate."
Euphorions eyes widened. "He wouldn't be so foolish?"
"He was."
Euphorion was surprised, but then he threw his head back and laughed out loud. "Oh, he is in deep trouble. I would love to see Lucifer struggle." He said.
Euphorion and Lucifer were enemies. Not the type to go to war with each other, just disliking each other from afar. A fight between ancients only ended badly for everyone else involved.
"What caused him to possess your mate?"
Zamiel told him the story in hopes to find out more information. "Your mate is his granddaughter, and he possessed her?" He asked with a frown.
Zamiel nodded.
Euphorion was thoughtful for a while. "Could it be that he wants her qualities?"
Zamiel frowned. He never thought of that, but then he shook his head. "Are you saying he wants to be like a young, innocent, and kind woman?"
Euphorion laughed again. "That would suit him. Can you imagine?"
No! He couldn't.
"Maybe he feels old and is bored. He wants to see the world from a young woman's eyes." Euphorion continued. He was enjoying it.
Zamiel remained serious.
"Alright." Euphorion stopped laughing when Zamiel didn't join him. He stood up from his seat and clapped his hands together. "I would advise you not to do anything. I know it is difficult when your mate is away, but when your enemy is destroying themselves, you don't interrupt. Especially if your enemy is the devil."
"How long will it take before the consequences make an impact?" Zamiel asked.
"If your mate has a strong spirit than I am sure he is already dealing with the consequences."
"She has not only a strong spirit but a good one as well."
Euphorion smirked. "That makes it more entertaining."
