THE DEVIL'S BRIDE

Episode 53: The Devil's Mother

By Rapwizzy Debaron

A realm untouched by gods.

A silence no scream could break.

That's where she lived—Lucien's mother, the forgotten queen.

Her name was once erased from history, but legends whispered of a woman made from starlight and shadows. The only one the Devil ever bowed to.

And now… she was awake.

Lucien stood before the sealed portal carved into bone and sorrow.

"No one's been here since—" Evelyn began.

"Since she sealed herself away," Lucien said. "After she cursed my father and tore the sky in two."

He sliced his palm. Blood ran down the ancient runes. The portal pulsed and opened with a cry that felt like the wail of a dying world.

Inside… was her.

She sat upon a broken mirror throne, dressed in black robes woven from night.

She did not look up. "You've brought her," she said.

Lucien tensed. "You knew?"

"I felt her soul when it screamed against the chains of fate," she said coldly. "Why have you come, my son?"

"To stop him," Lucien said. "The First King. Your husband."

She laughed—soft and bitter. "He was never my husband. Just a mistake written in blood."

Then her eyes landed on Evelyn.

"You… You are the flame that survived," she said.

Evelyn met her gaze. "I'm the bride who chose herself."

Back at the Citadel, chaos brewed.

The skies began to crackle with dark lightning—black storms circling the realm.

Kael's scouts returned, whispering of temples turning to dust and prophecies bleeding ink.

"They're not coming," Kael said. "They're already here."

In the realm of the gods, Seraphhina stood at the edge of the divine circle, her blade pulsing with radiant light.

Her generals knelt.

"You called us," one said. "But what do we fight for?"

She looked down at the mortal world where Evelyn stood beside Lucien.

"We fight to stop a war between love and legacy," she said. "And to protect the girl who carries both."

---

Back in the mirror throne room, Lucien's mother stepped forward.

"You'll need more than fire to kill my husband," she said to Evelyn.

"I'm not trying to kill him," Evelyn replied. "I'm going to end what he started."

Lucien's mother tilted her head, intrigued.

"Then you'll need to become more than his bride," she whispered. "You'll need to become his reckoning."

---

Outside, a crack tore through the sky.

The First King had arrived.

And he wasn't alone.

Behind him rose the Ashen Legion—souls of the damned, bound in black flame.

Lucien looked up at the storm and whispered, "It begins."
