The Crown's Mundane

Alvah appeared in Tartarus with Zillah.

Azazel was aware of what he was doing, when he arrived Zillah was taken away from him by two men, one from the arm and the other from the leg.

The men carried her to a basement, there everything could be seen as red, there were seven men, who wore black cape with a hoodie. They sort of had no face.

They received Zillah from the men with a warm embrace. They placed her down on a high laid out stone that was carved to fit a human body.

Azazel was seated on a dark throne, only few infernals were present.

Zillah was undergoing the conversion of being an Infernal.

Azazel had talked with Alvah about this before but alvah chose to Carry it out now because of the death of his sister relating to Zillah.

He was at the entrance of the basement. Ravana, thana, Griffin, Mara and a few others were present.

As Zillah was laid on the stone, the seven men with no face began rounding her in circles doing a recital.

Azazel watched alvah from the throne, alvah's expression was void. He was having double mind at the moment.

To be honest with himself Zillah hadn't done anything to harm him but he has done a lot to her.

He made a big sigh, looking at where azazel sat, the man was staring intensely at him.

Alvah walked away from the man's sight.

As the men were done with the recitation. Zillah was dropped in a pool of blood, the ritual began.

Alvah was looking at Zillah intensely, should he take her out of there. He was never present when they did the malevolent rite. He doesn't know how it works.

They brought her out of the blood pool and laid her back on the Stone.

Alvah's mission was to instill evil aura in her by excreting dark energy into the atmosphere for her to absorb.

When the installation is done, it is easier to convert her to be an infernal, but she would have to die for a new soul to take over.

On the stone where she was laid, the blood began absorption. Infernal blood was slowly injecting into her and after that she will die but come back anew,

During this process, Zillah was conscious but her eyes were closed. She was screaming at the top of her voice. Being a celestial, conflict began between her pure blood and evil blood.

She was on the verge of dying, here alvah too felt suffocated. His breath was ceasing. Thana who was nearby came closer, alvah squatted.

She tapped his back asking, "What is it, are you okay?"....

Alvah couldn't speak. Zillah's body staggering, she couldn't stay still, she was shouting.

Alvah was holding his chest as he too was feeling the pain in his heart, it was like someone was squeezing his heart from the inside, Talk more of what Zillah is going through.

Azazel looked in his direction alvah was on the floor, struggling for his life. Thana kept asking what happened.

Alvah was the centre of attention after Zillah. Azazel stood up.

Am I okay, he asked himself, he struggled to get up from his current position teleported to where Zillah was and disappeared from there.

Everyone was surprised at his actions. Azazel suspected what was going on.

Alvah appeared in Elysian with Zillah who was still screaming and was breathless.

The Celestials sensing the dark energy, omna was the first to appear. Alvah was looking at the ceiling when he heard his name.

He managed to look at who was calling, it was omna.

Omna immediately teleported them to his room, before the others appeared.

He asked what happened, the only word he heard from alvah was "Malevolent". He immediately understood.

Omna appeared at an enclosed dome with both of them in his arm who were breathless. Omna called out, Serene Elders, the ones in charge of soul Revival.

They appeared, they were three of them present, omna placed them both in front of them.

By this time Zillah had passed away, one of the elders placed his hand on Zillah's chest.

He asked, "was she dead before you got here?"..

"Dead, Omna repeated, no she wasn't".

"Take her with you"... the first elder pointed out to the second elder what to do.

"What of him?"... omna asked.

"Of course bring him with you".

They were in a room filled with white curtains which kept moving in all directions.

He looked at omna saying,

"A revival has to take place".

A revival is what is done when a celestial who is to be converted to an infernal but is called back.

This happens rarely since it is mostly a falling off process rather than a converting process.

Zillah being dead at the moment, lead to alvah passing out.

Both of them laid on the wooden surface, it began.

"Firstly, to eliminate the corrupt blood in her, we have to get a sample of the blood to know which method to use"..., said the second elder.

"It's of no use"... the first elder disagreed.

"Why?"..., omna asked.

"She's dead. And if she wakes up now, it's not Zillah we used to know".

"What?... Omna was shocked.

She's dead, but what about alvah".

"Alvah might be in trouble for some days but his will wear off".

"What trouble?".... he asked.

"Definitely she is his mate, her pain is his pain and vice versa.

He is quite strong to not die along with her, probably because they're bond was never strong.

But he would wake up for a while".

"The ritual is complete, there is no hope, you might as well take her out of Elysian, we don't know what soul she would wake up with".

Alvah was already awake, earlier than expected, they're bond never really started.

Omna refused to do so.

"Take the body away from here omna, if she wakes up, you might end up killing her with your hands".

"Okay",

he replied to the elder who was now walking away with the others.

Omna took Zillah and alvah away from there to the outskirts of Elysian,

" Alvah would know what to do with her when he wakes up".... he said.

Omna was about to leave when alvah held his hand standing up dyinly, he looked at alvah.

He was weak after all. He muttered... "Empyreal Of Life".

Omna's eyes widened,

"Right".... he said.

You can't summon her and you never know when she will come out but omna had faith.

They appeared in the upper room, waiting patiently,

Alvah was slowly dying, He ran out of patience.

"Omna will she ever come out?"... he asked.

" Well she came out when I was coming for you".

He smirked, you were coming for me.

"Of course"...omna replied smiling.

Few more hours had passed, alvah was as weak as ever and Zillah laid dead.

The thought of coming to the third chamber is because she is the Empyreal Of Life and she would give pure life back to Zillah

Hours had added to the previous hours, alvah had it.

"She's not coming out".

"We have to wait for her".... omna said.

"But we never know when she will appear. If she wakes up and she's not the Zillah we know, I don't think I'll ever know what to do with her".... he said

"You should have thought about that before you went ahead and sent her for the malevolent rite, do you even know how it works?"....

"No"..., he nodded.

"Ha, Look at you". Omna said laughing at him.

There was silence for hours again they wondered if a day had already passed by and they were still seated here.

Alvah's eyes had closed when he heard omna speak, he could barely open his eyes.

"I'll blame you for this alvah", he said.

"Zillah doesn't even hate you the way you do yet you choose to treat her like this, you say you love keva, yet keva doesn't even love you".

What have you done for keva to say she loves you back?"...

"Keva did something for you didn't she. Why do you hate Zillah this much?.

Did she do anything in particular to cause you this anger you have towards her, answer me"

He blasted alvah with all this questions,

"Leave me alone alvah said You Celestials just won't leave me. I only hate her this much because she is my mate.

I have been sitting here maybe for a day, waiting for the Empyreal to come and she hasn't, I'm bothering myself for someone I don't even care about.

I wanted her to be converted so I don't have her as my mate but I can't help it, I want her to come back to life but she isn't".

Omna said to him,

"Why don't you do something that'll make you happy. If your happiness cannot come from the people you want it to come from, make yourself happy, with Zillah".... he whispered.

Alvah looked at him with a side glare.

"You only want her back so you yourself would feel alright".

Alvah smiled.

He mustered in his last energy as he believed he would pass out after doing this.

"NOVA"...., he yelled her name.

Omna glared at him. That's the name of Third Chamber Empyreal Of Life.

She appeared, they quickly looked up at her.

"How did you hear him?".... Omna asked sounding surprised.

She replied saying, "he knows".

Alvah said.... "I don't know".

She smiled.

"Why didn't you come earlier?"... omna asked her.

"He knows"...., she said again.

"I don't know anything"..... Alvah said

She laughed this time. "Zillah's dead"... Omna said.

Her smile faded,

"How?"... she asked.

"Malevolent ritual"... Omna answered.

"Alvah".... she said his name looking at him, he looked back at her.
