Archdemon Empress Luna

"Kotari, announce to the entire cities and villages in the Autumn Courts that the upcoming Mabon festival we had been preparing for months now will be canceled." Queen Morgan ordered the silver-haired Fae with the white owl tucked securely underneath his arm while he stood like a tall post in front of the Autumn Queen.
His opal wings with black outer margins covered the nocturnal bird so it wouldn\'t get blown away from the violent winds.
"Yes, Your Highness." "Kotari \'s response was barely a whisper as he stalked towards the window.
For a second, the owl-man made sure that his Faerie wings didn\'t hit the jagged edges of the broken glass before he jumped, stretched his wings mid-air and glided down, down, down to the ground safely.
Thank the goddess!
The hurricane hadn\'t ripped Kotari\'s faerie wings apart and flung him outside the window to fall to his death.
Jora and Sylvain remained with the rest of them, flanking Queen Morgan with their large forms and using Fae Magic to shield her from the debris.
Her Cadre kept her in place during the hurricane without exerting physical effort.
The strong tremors waned, and several aftershocks followed, and it seemed like the Autumn Palace was too distant from the epicentre of the earthquake.
Maybe, Luxen\'s demonic legion had stopped their aggressive attempts to destroy Queen Morgan\'s barriers.
This wasn\'t the real thing yet.
This was a mere warning or a dangerous greeting from their enemies, showing what they were capable of right off the bat.
Luna glanced around to check up on everyone and was glad to find them alive.
The Members of the Council might be old, but they still could heal themselves from injuries with Fae Magic.
The hurricane was still in their vicinity, but it had changed directions after it broke the windows, destroying things like a thief in the night and leaving shattered fragments in its wake.
Weak trees were blown off since they were too exhausted to keep their roots on the ground.
It was still raining in the Autumn Courts, and the weather hadn\'t cleared.
Their initial reaction to the shock of the catastrophe had dissipated.
Every time Luna took a step, aftershocks continued to haunt them.
Luna took a chance to move closer to the window and glance down along with the curious Autumn Faeries in the Council Room.
She gasped, her palm covering her mouth in shock.
The ground at the bottom had come undone.
She also found a couple of sinkholes in the courtyard.
How much more of these sinkholes will she see in the villages or at the marketplace?
Hopefully, no Autumn Faeries had died during this incident.
Every Autumn Fae might think that Luna had brought Luxen\'s demonic legion here, herself, to conquer the Fall Courts when it wasn\'t true at all.
In addition to that, every Fae in the Council Room knew that Luna was possessed by a demon who had another two Archdemons as her companions.
Klotho, Lachesis and Antropos confirmed it in front of the Autumn Council.
Perhaps, the only thing that prevented Queen Morgan from commanding her Cadre to kill them on the spot was because of her alchemist\'s truth serum.
It had effectively proved their groups\' innocent intentions, including her Archdemon Familiars.
Hecate\'s mission to find the magic fruit to save Luna from Lilith\'s possession, the blue feather on Ravin\'s necklace, which the Autumn Queen hadn\'t stop claiming her ownership with it and the map Princess Ourania made to find the Garden of the Four Seasons that Queen Morgan had stopped searching since the last century would be enough to let them escape from their impending doom in the Fall Courts.
Each of them had a lot of questions in their mind that needed to be answered by the other party.
Perhaps, this reason was valid enough that the two parties wouldn\'t turn into each other at such a wrong time—-in the presence of another demonic Legion that had nothing to do with them.
These evil monsters were the Material Realm\'s real adversaries.
Their group didn\'t want to inflict any harm, although Luna, Ravin and Sloth were entirely Archdemons who escaped Hell.
Another debris from the hurricane crashed towards the Council Room like a demon\'s flying weapon in the wind, and Luna didn\'t have the time to react.
Her husband caught the branch before it hit her in the face, and it disintegrated in his clenched fist in just a blink of an eye.
Most of these items were made of wood, glass, bricks, tree limbs, and such, and it hurt her to admit that even her reaction time to peril had gone weaker—that she required Apollyon to rescue her from them.
Luna\'s worries died in her throat.
She didn\'t dare to tell her husband, so she settled for bracing her palm against Apollyon\'s chest.
Not in front of these strangers.
Maybe, the Three Fate\'s prophecy about her and the demonic offspring was true.
This was also why Princess Ourania was able to push her down the stairs the minute Luna had her back turned on their way to the women\'s parlour.
Her senses had grown dull.
This disadvantage wasn\'t good for them in times of the apocalypse.
She needed to get rid of Lilith and Luxen\'s offspring from her womb as soon as possible before they ruined her and her true heiress.
"It seemed like you have brought unlikely friends along with you, Vampire King." Queen Morgan threw them a furtive glance. "Empress Luna."
Apollyon brought her infinitesimally closer as his warm hand was cinched at her waist.
The statement was a passive-aggressive jab, but Sloth answered as he took a step closer to them.
"That\'s not our friends, though. At least, not now." He faced Queen Morgan with a blank? expression, "There is another Archdemon who just got here in this Realm." Luna bit her lip and swallowed hard, forcing herself into a state of composure.. "He is the real enemy."
