Sugthon, Garkas, Januth, Gagral, and Uzroth all were waiting patiently inside of Lilith's Mansion. Now that they were not War Commanders they wanted to know what was going to happen to them.
They had enjoyed the feeling of commanding and being a lead demon. Now, they were afraid of being demoted.
Finally, the portal opened inside of Lilith's Mansion. The five quickly stood up and bowed. Lilith entered first, followed by Iris, Violet, Margaret, Liz, and Amber.
Once the six of them were comfortable, "Sit on the other couch." Lilith spoke.
The five quickly sat down nervous and shaky.
"What brings you five in my mansion for so long?" Lilith asked.
"To know what will become of our positions." Uzroth spoke up.
Looking around at the other four, the decision to actually ask up front was harder than anticipated. This was what made Lilith actually decide to go forward.
"Each of you were positioned as War Commanders. Now that we are not in War, we still need commanders who are good in their positions.
Your squads explained how good you were to the Demon God. He will be the one to decide your fates. I cannot demote or promote any demon once they have been assigned as a War Commander.
Which will you do allow yourselves to be miserable while waiting on the Demon God or become proactive while waiting on the Demon God?"
The five knew the answer that should be given. Saying it and believing while doing it were completely different.
"We know the answer that should be given. No matter what we say, if our actions do not follow what we say we will be demoted.
If our words follow our actions we will be promoted right?" Gagral asked.
Lilith smiled knowing how hard the decision is to truly make one into a full fledged commander. Would these five follow through?
She did not know. She honestly did not care.
"Now that you have your answer. I can give each of you a little land with a few demons. These demons are already good. They help new commanders see if they are truly worthy of having demons under them.
Gagral, your land will touch mine in the northern part. It cannot be any more than a small town's worth of land being used. Make sure to mark your territory first before building.
Uzroth, your territory will be on the left side of Gagral. You must make a good trading center for your land. The demons under you will judge rather than help. Use your resources wisely.
Sugthon, you will make a farmland on the right of Gagral. Your land is mostly rocky so use it to the best that you can.
Januth, your land will touch mine on the western side with the top of your land only touching Uzroth's land. What you do with the land is up to you but goods must be produced out of it.
Garkas, your land will touch all of the tops of Sugthon, Gagral, and Uzroth. Your land will be used as a training ground. Rather it is demons, humans, demi-human, or Shadow People.
Now as to why this is happening like this. The Demon God as spoken saying, "Demons must be able to provide good wealth and commerce to the other living races within the Realms now. As to which people are used is up in the air."
So since you five came up to me. I am making this decision on the letters I have already sent to Diablo. He has the final say for the people under him."
The five were scared that Diablo would come back and hurt them. Surprisingly, the letter from Diablo had just come in.
The servant who received the letter was asked to read it out loud. The servant bowed and asked, "Lady Lilith if you will please read it first to ensure that I speak it correctly?"
Thr servant was not afraid of normally reading letters but there were a lot of people around and misreading the letter would be the least of the servant's worries.
"Of course. Diablo probably put his seal on it anyways."
Once the letter was handed to Lilith, the letter opened automatically.
"Dear Mistress Lilith to our Demon King,
It is I Diablo. I have heard your words from the letter. As for those five, the Demon God has asked me to be a little lenient with those people.
So I have made the decision. Those five can become Commanders as in controlling small amounts of land. If you have or already have people who can help them. I would greatly appreciate it.
I will send one ambassador to each of them. Their knowledge will focus in Army Training, Town Building, Resource Trading, and fence building.
These four will be sent directly they will arrive three days after the letter does as long as the open trail is clear. I expect good news to be heard from them.
Demon Leader,
Diablo."
Once Lilith read it she handed it back to the servant. The servant read it correctly. The five were shocked beyond belief. Some would have better help than others but it was still good to see and hear that they would have help.
"Lady Lilith, thank you." Garkas spoke up.
Then the rest of them thanked and bowed in unison.
Lilith was glad to hear that Diablo was sending help. She would have hated to send Rex down there and give him a piece of her mind.
The six women went upstairs. They had to plan out how the ending ceremony with all of the married women would go. Each of them had different ideas and different opinions this would become the hardest part of the ceremony planning.
Deep within the confines of Tiamat's thoughts were the thoughts of how special Rex always was. She did not know if she was truly able to get Soul Mate to Rex. She knew that either way he would always remain a sun in her heart.
