00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:05.719
Tonight, the elder Princess of Hell herself walks the streets
2
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:10.919
of Strickfield. Her name is Lucibella, and when she swears
3
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:15.880
to protect Aileen Donnerly, every bully in town learns that
4
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:19.679
there are things worse than death and demons with a
5
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:21.120
score to settle.
6
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:28.640
What's that you want to be scared her? To come
7
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:39.880
with me, you will experience tales over opera, who ghosts
8
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.320
and death Death. It is not recommended in the foot
9
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:50.719
of weak at heart heart listeners in the dark. It's
10
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:56.479
more fun at that way way. This is Weekly Speaking.
11
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:09.040

33
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:40.199
imagine a summer night in Strickfield, a lonely road, a
34
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:44.840
girl in a fiery red dress and eyes that glow
35
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:51.680
with green fire. She's no ordinary stranger, She's the elder
36
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:56.319
Princess of Hell. When she promises to protect an innocent
37
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.560
girl from a pack of bullies, the line between nightmare
38
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:06.080
and reality is burned away when Hell itself walks among us.
39
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:10.680
Who decides what is justice and what is torment? We
40
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:22.840
find out after this a New Beginning by Rob Fields.
41
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.280
I have been walking along this road in the heat
42
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:37.719
for hours. Soon I shall reach the village known as Strickfield.
43
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:44.039
To someone like me, this heat feels like heaven. I
44
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.680
smile at, knowing that this could not have been a
45
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:52.879
better time to have left Ravenhenge. Within a few weeks,
46
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.879
it shall be summer. I am observant of the glances
47
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.680
that I receive from the mortals passing along in their
48
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:06.800
metal chariots. I suppose that it is uncommon to see
49
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:12.080
a humanoid female walking and wearing a fiery red dress
50
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:18.399
with matching glass heels. Unfortunately, I could not just appear
51
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:23.680
at my intended destination and utilized the closest of the
52
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:29.160
seven gates of Hell, which was in Ravenhenge itself. I
53
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:34.120
am finally crossing into Strickfield and soon reached the university.
54
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:39.519
Mother had me learn of this village and surrounding areas.
55
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.720
The dwelling where I must go is on the opposite
56
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:48.120
end of this institution of higher learning. Many of the
57
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:54.199
males attending this university look upon me. I sense their lust,
58
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:59.360
But these foul vermin shall never come to possess me.
59
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:05.519
They are most unworthy of the elder Princess of Hell.
60
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:11.720
Upon leaving the university grounds. I stop long enough to
61
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:17.079
close my eyes and moan softly. This heat shall be
62
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:22.560
most enjoyable here in the mortal realm. I am confident
63
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:27.560
that the summer season shall become even hotter. I have
64
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.720
noticed that many of the mortals that I pass are
65
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:38.519
wet with their own sweat. Such pathetic weaklings. I continue
66
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:42.560
onward to the dwelling that I must reach. I could
67
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:47.279
have arrived sooner, but Father was specific that I am
68
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.160
to pass for one of these mortals, and not use
69
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:59.680
my unlimited power unless I absolutely must. This status shall
70
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:04.040
change once I have found the one mortal that I seek.
71
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:12.360
Mother has spoken most highly of Elaine Donnerly during my upbringing.
72
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:18.240
I look forward to finally meeting this mortal female, who
73
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:24.040
has earned both Mother's respect and love. She has also
74
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:29.480
advised me of her older brother. Just thinking about Martin
75
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:36.639
Donnerly makes me desire to end him most slowly, or
76
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:42.120
better still, feed him to my hell hounds back home. However,
77
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:48.759
I am not permitted to harm him without cause. Upon
78
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:53.639
reaching the Donnerly dwelling, I see a metal chariot stopped
79
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:58.680
just outside. There are five mortals altogether in the road
80
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.920
of them. Appear to have someone surrounded and are beating
81
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:09.199
on Aileen Donnerly. I call out. The four of them,
82
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:14.600
cease kicking Aileen and face me. A rather thin, ugly
83
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:20.439
female glares at me, piss off. The other girl, who
84
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.680
looks poudy, points right at me. Four of us to
85
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:30.920
one of you. Aileen sees me and reaches out help me.
86
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.160
I move to these vile girls and seize them both
87
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:40.600
to slam their heads together. Once they fall onto the
88
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:46.000
road that leaves only the males, the muscular one points
89
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:52.079
at me, you just messed up, bad bitch. No you did,
90
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:57.639
I respond, using mortals speak for the first time in
91
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:02.560
many years. When the two males come at me, I
92
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.639
grab them by their necks and lift them off the
93
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:10.519
road effortlessly. I toss the muscular one onto the back
94
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:15.720
of their metal chariot, making him shatter the window and
95
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:20.120
land in the back seat. Let me go. The other
96
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:25.720
male groans in fear. I would teach these fools a
97
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:31.319
lesson they would not soon forget. But Aileen Donnerly needs me.
98
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:36.919
I turn the male to the two females and toss
99
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.600
him into them with a single hand. After the male
100
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.480
topples the females. He returns to his feet and helps
101
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:52.399
them to theirs. Let's get out of here, the male yells.
102
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:58.799
Now the thin, ugly female sees the back window. God
103
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:02.799
damn it, my dad, it's gonna kill me. She turns
104
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:08.279
and points at me. This ain't over. Then she points
105
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:11.919
to Aileen, and we damn sure ain't done with you.
106
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:18.879
I no longer regard them, and now regard Aileen. She
107
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:22.600
takes my hand and allows me to assist her to
108
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:29.240
her feet. Are you hurt? I ask? Aileen slowly throws
109
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:33.519
her arms around me and hugs me tightly. Thank you.
110
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:41.000
I slowly return her hug. Soon we regard one another again.
111
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:46.919
Aileen looks me over to sum up my appearance. You
112
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.399
could say that I am a near one for one
113
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:58.120
doppelganger of my mother, Bella Tabon. The most noticeable difference
114
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:02.120
between the two of us are that I have even
115
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:08.120
longer blonde hair, which I keep in pigtails that unnaturally
116
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:13.960
extend and hang out past my shoulders, my radiant green
117
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:19.679
eyes to her red ones, and my large bosoms. Aileen
118
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:25.000
regards me strangely, Um, how do you know my name?
119
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.799
I am with patience. My family summoned me here to
120
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:36.879
find and protect you. I shall only remain with you
121
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:44.080
if you wish. But who are you and how do
122
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:51.879
you know me? Aileen stammers. I am Lucibella Tabon. I reveal,
123
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:58.120
and the history that I shall share with you is complicated.
124
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.759
Aileen wipes but from her forehead with the back of
125
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:09.240
her hand. It's really hot out here. Let's go inside.
126
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:14.120
I allow her to lead me to her dwelling. Once inside,
127
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:18.559
I am amazed at how much cooler it is. I
128
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:24.360
have never experienced anything of this sort at Ravenhenge, and
129
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:30.399
certainly not Hell itself. I would rather have remained outside
130
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:35.799
in the heat. Nevertheless, I am not threatened, since the
131
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:37.600
cold cannot harm me.
132
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:43.159
Don't go away weakly, Spooky will be right back.
133
00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:52.639
After a lean drinks some water. She regards me, would
134
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:58.120
you like something to drink? Not presently, I answer. We
135
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:03.559
shall speak when you are ready. Aileen invites me into
136
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.960
her living room. She seats herself in a chair and
137
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:13.399
I upon the couch. Now we regard one another again.
138
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:18.039
I tell her the history of what was once her
139
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:24.799
timeline with Bella Tabon, my mother. I explain the events
140
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.840
of what had happened with mother and how Hell Weaver
141
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:33.000
had deceived her into thinking that she was being offered
142
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:38.679
the second Chance compact. As it turned out, someone close
143
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:43.559
to Mother would offer herself in exchange for the final
144
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:50.039
opportunity in the compact. Mother and I both know that
145
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:56.519
this person was Aileen Donnerly. Mother spoke of Aileen's history
146
00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:00.559
on how she was part of a revenge plot from
147
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:06.399
those mortals outside. Her older brother, Martin had taken advantage
148
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:12.039
of that ugly girl, Courtney Rickman, who had become taken
149
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:17.559
with drink at a gathering. When the alcohol had worn off,
150
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:24.159
Courtney swore revenge upon Martin after accusing him of violating her.
151
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:29.720
In the former time line, those mortals had come to
152
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:35.759
this dwelling to seek vengeance upon Martin. He was not here, however,
153
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:41.960
but Aileen was. Courtney had her elder brother with her,
154
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:49.919
and Biff Rickman both assaulted and violated Aileen. She became
155
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:55.440
infected with a disease that easily manifested itself within her
156
00:13:55.480 --> 00:14:01.360
body due to her weak immune system. Aileen finds this
157
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.919
difficult to believe, but Mother said that I must speak
158
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:10.600
the truth. These events have not happened in this new
159
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:15.480
time line as of yet. Mother was explicit that I
160
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:20.000
not allow you to be assaulted and violated in the
161
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:25.679
way that I have described. Make no mistake, they shall
162
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:31.519
return here tomorrow night. As I have spoken, I raise
163
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:36.399
my finger. I am to remain at your side until
164
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:41.000
tomorrow night has passed. From there. If you wish for
165
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:47.080
me to depart, then I shall without question. Otherwise I
166
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:52.960
shall bring you before my great grandmother. Aileen points to me.
167
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.720
So you knew what was happening to me out there,
168
00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:00.799
You knew to be there to help me, I did.
169
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:06.960
I admit. Great Grams lives here in Strickfield and has
170
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.759
powerful magics to be able to see across space and time,
171
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:15.519
which was why she insisted that I could waste no
172
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:20.559
time in coming here to you. Mother would have come
173
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:24.879
for you herself, but she is currently undertaking a quest.
174
00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:31.519
She shall return upon completion of that quest. I raise
175
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:36.200
my finger. If you doubt me, then I shall offer
176
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:41.440
you proof. Your brother shall return home within the next
177
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:47.759
ten of your minutes. Eileen shakes her head. Martin said
178
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.639
he'll be working at Mere and Automotive until eleven thirty tonight.
179
00:15:53.840 --> 00:16:01.120
He shall return home within ten minutes, I insist. Aileen
180
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:05.639
sighs and asks me how I could easily handle Courtney
181
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:10.759
Rickman and her friends. I am not of your world,
182
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:16.679
Aileen Donnerly, I answer, though I must call the mortal
183
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:23.159
realm my home now. My birth realm is Hell. Aileen
184
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:27.200
seems frightened of me now, but does not order me
185
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:32.159
to depart. I am here for you. I remind her
186
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:38.759
whatever you may require of me. Aileen studies me more.
187
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:45.360
Why didn't Bella come herself? She shall come to you,
188
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:51.399
I assure her. While she currently resides here in Strickfield
189
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:58.000
with great Grams, she also rules Hell at father's side. Again,
190
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:02.879
she is undertaking a quest, which is why my family
191
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:09.680
in Strickfield summoned me. The choice is yours. Once tomorrow's
192
00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:13.400
danger has passed, you may keep me here at your side,
193
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:20.720
or send me back to Hell. Aileen remembers you said
194
00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:26.160
you would do whatever I asked. Yes, my unlimited power
195
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.319
is yours to command. Whatever you may ask of me,
196
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:35.440
it shall be done. Mother wishes for you to be
197
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:40.440
my guide here in the mortal realm. She said that
198
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:46.319
you could be trusted to keep me honest. Just then
199
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:52.200
the back door opens, Martin Donnerly enters and regards the
200
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:57.880
two of us. The fool's eyes open wide upon beholding me.
201
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:04.559
Can I help you? His eyes move from my face
202
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:10.839
to my bosoms repeatedly. His emotions convey his longing for
203
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:15.559
me to become the latest in his string of wars.
204
00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:20.039
I am enraged and stand to engage him as he
205
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:25.319
approaches me. Upon his reaching, I snatch his throat and
206
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:29.640
slam him against a nearby wall. Dare to lay your
207
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:35.680
hands upon me, mortal vermin, and I shall no. Aileen
208
00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:39.680
cries as she takes hold of my free hand. When
209
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:46.039
I regard her, she explains herself, Please, Lusabella, don't hurt Martin.
210
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:50.920
I can't stand him, but he's the only family I have.
211
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:57.400
I release Martin. Your sister still cares for you to
212
00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:03.519
a degree. This is why you yet live. Never attempt
213
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:08.839
to lay hold of me again. Martin regards Aileen as
214
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:14.799
she explains who I am and why I am here. Now,
215
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:20.160
he displays a more dominant expression. I don't care what
216
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:26.079
this little snippet says. You're not staying here. Aileen tightens
217
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:31.599
her fists, but she will Martin. Lusabella's here for me.
218
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.640
She tells him about those mortals who attacked her prior
219
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:44.559
to my arrival. You and your male kind are indeed fools, Martin,
220
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:50.920
I add, you only think with your loins, never your brain.
221
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:57.119
Was Courtney Rickman's flesh worth those fools attacking your sister.
222
00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:01.960
Martin points to me, don't you talk to me like that.
223
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.799
You're not safe yet, weekly Spooky will be right back.
224
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:16.960
Aileen becomes upset. She's right, Martin, I know you've hated
225
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:19.839
taking care of me after mom and Dad were killed.
226
00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:24.839
I never cared who you were with sexually or whatever,
227
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:29.559
but seriously, you took full advantage of Courtney Rickman when
228
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:32.440
she was drunk off her ass, and I've got to
229
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:37.160
pay for it. I move in between them. It matters
230
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:41.240
not Aileen. What matters is that I am here now,
231
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:47.000
and no harm shall come to you again. My infinite
232
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:53.680
power is yours to command. Aileen addresses Martin again, I've
233
00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:57.599
tried to play the loving sister and be there for you,
234
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:00.799
but I won't pay the price be because you just
235
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:05.559
can't keep it in your pants. She regards me. Now,
236
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:09.599
let's go upstairs. I want you to come to school
237
00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:15.559
with me tomorrow as you wish. I return. I accompany
238
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:19.440
Aileen to her bedchamber, where she motions for me to
239
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:23.119
sit upon a chair at her desk. Once she is
