It took the demons about an hour before they carried both of them in and put them through the expected protocols. Swarms of tiny demons crawled all over them in order to cleanse them of all filth before they were escorted into what must be Lillun's personal chambers, which were stocked with an assortment of strange yet tantalizing refreshments. It was here that the humongous creature he so far knew as Lillun dismissed her servants and revealed her true nature once the place cleared. The white, marble-like belly of the thing opened up, revealing a large, hollow compartment on the inside where a seemingly mortal woman was strung up with large ribbons of pure, glowing essence. This thing wasn't just as big as a warstrider. It was one.
The woman was released from the coils of light, onto the floor where she sighed with relief as she adjusted the semi-transparent silken veil she was wearing.
"Finally. I thought that parade was never going to end!"
"My sincerest apologies, Lady Lillun."
The warstrider spoke on its own.
"It's okay Geneva. It's my job after all. I just like to complain. Anyway, you may dock and go into standby mode."
"Mistress, I insist that I remain by your side as long as the prince is here."
"How many times do we have to go over this? My little darlings know better than to harm their mother. Now. Standby."
The war machine gave her a bow and walked out of the room with thundering footsteps.
"Hellstriders, right? Gotta love them. But they have a bad tendency of forgetting who controls whom. Now... Come closer 49. Let me see your face."
"49?"
"That's you, silly. The 49th Green Sun Prince. That's a new record, you know? We never had so many champions at once before! Now please, come here."
Jet took a few cautious steps forward and his suspicions were quickly confirmed. This Lillun figure may have appeared human from a distance, she's however anything but. Under her elegant but not at all subtle clothing a visible bump in her belly could be seen. It seemed innocuous enough at first but the occasional glow it emits and the squirming, strange shapes underneath do hint at something much more sinister. Her eyes too were odd. Ever shifting in color and the shape of her pupils it was hard looking into them for any extended period of time. And her features, like Jet's own, carried a sense of perfection that simply did not belong on a human. She was hauntingly beautiful, offputtingly alien and terrifyingly predatory all rolled into one monstrous package.
Lillun however noticed him checking out her baby bump, which she began caressing in an almost perverted fashion.
"I know little one, I know. It's not fair that your brother left you all alone. But Yozi willing, you will join them soon enough. Yes you will!"
"Pardon my bluntness, but what is this whole "mother" business?"
