Chapter 74
Narrator's pov
-
Her palm pressed flat against the glass of the elevator, allowing the green light to scan the unique lines of her fingers and grant her access to head down to the basement
The metal doors then slid closed and left Melanie and Buddy behind her
She couldn't describe the things she'd do to that man if she ever found out he did anything to Aelia.
Perhaps she'd spend my precious time scraping his flesh off his body, watching the dark red blood drip from his limps, sprouting from the veins in his body and watching his muscles slowly die out. His screams would be the joy of her day, piercing through her ear and making the most delicious music. She'd love to see him turn red. Fleshless and bleeding out.
But that was just one of her many thoughts on how to end his existence.
Suddenly, a buzzing brought her out of her thoughts. Luna gripped the phone in her hand and saw a few messages appeared
*30 minutes ago*
Aelia☀: Hey, I'm just checking in to make sure you're okay
*15 minutes ago*
Aelia ☀: You're probably in your meeting, Maddy called and said you made some changes and a bunch of people were fired, is everything okay?
*5 minutes ago*
Aelia ☀: Luna. Amon. You better get out that goddamn meeting and call me. I miss you :(
Luna chuckled at the last message, she swear the girl makes me feel like a little kid on a sugar rush
Luna🌙: Sorry I was in a meeting
Aelia ☀: Ooo your first meeting, did it go well?
Luna 🌙: better than I expected

Aelia ☀: Lauren came and I told her everything that happened with Justin. She. Was. Pissed.
Luna🌙:Of course she was, she literally went through that shit with Camila. Fake relationships and toxic management is something she hates
Aelia ☀: I feel guilty enough :(
Luna 🌙: Awww

Luna chuckled and placed her phone into her pocket, hearing the small ding of the elevator followed by the metal doors sliding open
"Will there be anything else Ms Amon?" Melanie asked
"No that's okay, you're free to leave" Luna mumbled as she stepped out the compartment with the husky following behind her
Melanie nodded and clicked a button, heading back up and leaving Luna alone in a dark room
In the dark room, even the ticking had a relaxed feeling, as if it was a heart-beat at rest. Luna felt as if the air moved like cool water. In the twilight the fabrics were muted hues, as if they too awaited dawn to ignite their colours for all to see.
"Don't freak out, but I'm not exactly who you think I am" Luna chuckled and placed her palm onto the side of the wall, flicking the switch
A red wooden door was placed right in the center of the room, Luna used the key in her pocket to unlock the door, allowing buddy to enter first then herself. She made sure to lock the door once she had entered.
The lights then revealed grey walls. A tall solid wall stood before us, empty and filled with cobweb. I guess it was Lucifer's front for anyone who lurked at the bottom.
"Things are about to get weird" Luna chuckled, The demon stepped forward and placed her hand on the flat wall
"I know it seems like just a wall" Luna said to Buddy who tilted his head to the side
The girl smiled and glanced around, giving one last look to make sure no one was around
"Welcome, please identify yourself" A high robotic voice announced
"Luna Amon" Luna said in a low voice
"Name. Registered. Please take the next step to grant access" the robotic voice said once again
"Now this is where it gets weird" Luna chuckled
The girl then placed her hand on a small crack on the concrete, a small needle slowly made its way out the crack, causing Buddy to stir below
The needle then pricked Luna's finger, she hissed at the sudden pain but the needle quickly went back down. All that was left of the blood that had once flowed thick and scarlet in her veins was flowing down her finger. The security system needed to identify Luna's blood to make sure she was a direct descendant of the Amon family
The concrete wall started to tremble, Buddy made his way behind Luna, hiding from whatever caused him to be nervous
The walls slowly parted, allowing a gush of white vapor to reach Luna's feet, almost like dry ice was seeping through the walls
A bright white light came from within, the stone walls were actually a front for a door that had the secret room behind it
"Come on, don't be scared" Luna chuckled and nodded her head in the direction of the hidden room
Guns. Paintings. Swords. Tridents. Everything laid out so perfectly in it's own area. Luna's eyes ran over the hundreds of swords that were beautifully placed on the wall.
It was Excalibur, shining under the bright white light of the room as if it were fashioned from the brilliant rays themselves. The broad silvery metal was warmed, as was the wall it rested upon.
In all the landscape it was the thing that drew the eye, a symbol of the kind of bravery that enables others to find their own courage, to be more than they thought themselves able to be. Yet, as the moon, it was a reflection of the sunlight, of love's own energy and the duty of protection.
Each sword in the room was used during a battle of the gods. Some used by Zeus himself, others were used to kill gods and night crawlers on earth, heaven and hell.
Upon the wall below the swords laid shields, rusted and scratched. Luna could see that it had been made by a master but that master wasn't human, forged in fiery heat of hell before setting in cold water of Poseidon.
Thereafter it had then been adorned, embellished, decorated. It reminded her of turtles, how they lived inside a shell, keeping their softness hidden.
These swords were also used by Gods in their battle in the past. When Luna was smaller, Lucifer would tell her stories of the battles he had encountered and fought in against angels and other mythology
In that darkness the knight carried his shield in front, wary of attack. Upon it was the symbol of his house, showing that which he feared to lose. In reality the road was empty other than the clang of his metal feet and the manor was quite safe, peaceful in the moonlight, awaiting the dawn
On the left side to the wall, rested something very special. It was a gift given to Lucifer by the one and only Cupid.
The bow was crafted of flexible, slender yew wood and wound around the grip was dyed red rawhide. On the quiver was carved the love and passion of those who stood before it, stampeding the horizon, pounding it into a grimace. The bow had casted many romances but has also been the product of many mishaps. Cupid eventually hung up his bows and gifted it to Satan himself.
The room was large but it was understandable since there were alot of special items in there. It reminded Luna of a hotel foyer, not just in the space but in the artwork too.
She scanned for a personal touch, something that doesn't suggest Luficer piled everything in like a storage unit. The floor was polished marble, the walls white and the furniture Luna's sure was from a high-end Scandinavian designer, but the name escaped her for the moment, surely the designer was friends with her father to even come close to having his work in this hidden room.
Armor of knights rested on a pole, rusted ancient guns were all in a show case. Bones and skeleton remains were also preserved in tubes. It was literally heaven for a museum.
Luna's finger ran over the glass cases that held Medallions, knives and other smaller pieces. There was even a tablet from the Egyptian gods. Golden and hand carved.
She stared at the red and black Medallion that had a silver lining in the center. The necklace was known to charm the male race. It was designed by a goddess who was highly interested in making men her slaves. She had it designed and boiled in blood of make virgins, it's purpose was to fool the eyes of rich kings and trick them into falling in love with her.
After marriage, he'd suddenly fall sick and leave his estate and people to her. After that, she'd move on to the next king. She was murdered by the hands of millions, burned at the stake as a witch.
Besides the Medallion rested knives of different sizes, some looked like machettes while others looked like a simple army knife. But they were all far from simple.
Every item within the room was used throughout history for a historic battle.
The knife was dual blade with a hardwood handle. Everything about it was precise. It was the kind of knife a depressed 13 year old carried when they wanted to look tough on their one hour walk in a park.
Luna turned it over in her hands, feeling the weight of it. Her face lifted from puzzled to neutral.
But not all of the items in there were dangerous. Some were just historic pieces
An old painting resided upon the wall. The painting, its frame gold beneath light dust, is an intricate and precise design, showed the scene of men in a circle. Luna recognized a few faces of the men, some were gods while the others were generals. It was a scene of the first agreement they had ever came to
She then glanced around to other paintings that were hung
"I had no idea this place existed" Luna mumbled as Buddy brushed against her leg
The paintings dominated the walls, every colour was bold and painted with such precise lines that it almost looks like a mosaic. They were curved yet sharply defined; they seem to stable but tumble at the same time. Like Luna she thought, so stable but always in free-fall inside.
She could be soft but can lampoon people who sparked her nerves without meaning to. She was bright but had often feel painted onto the background, like there really wasn't anything of substance inside.
But she knew there was more meaning in her bones than tumbling colours, chaotic and shallow.
It amazed her how the room was packed with so much history, so much evidence of the forefathers and every God or goddess that had ever walked the earth. Everything was here in one room, packed away from the eyes of humans. But then again, it might be a good thing.
The world would go into panic if they knew the truth. Some would fight over the ownership of history that didn't belong to them. This was too much power to be given to humans. They simply couldn't handle everything all at once.
They say of religion, that it is the interaction between the divine spirit and culture, that all are commanded to love, be kind and care for all of humanity, all life on Earth.
Some believe in hope, some believe in religion, some believe in science.
But in the end, we all flatline.
