The news stations that were showing and analyzing my battle with Michael seemed to be the more liberal stations. On the other hand, the more conservative news stations seemed to be only focused on the religious implications behind the battle. I do not understand how they cannot see the truth behind the whole situation, they have plenty of video evidence including my live stream of the battle but none talk about why I was fighting Michael.

I have had several different interview requests come in since I gave my contact information to the press. I am not sure what I should expect in these interviews because none have gotten to the point of the fight on air. It's always about some tangent that I can't figure out how they got to it. I guess challenging people's religious beliefs stirred up more trouble than I was expecting. I am glad I can keep the wizards out of the situation but I feel like I am not going to be able to keep the truth about the situation as the focal point.

I am lost in thought as I stare at my phone looking at the messages I have been receiving. I get a little bit startled when someone comes up behind me and wraps their arms around my waist. I quickly recovered from the surprise and turned around to find a pretty redhead smiling at me. I smile back at Sara after she gives me a little bit of a peck on my lips. "What have you been so focused on that you couldn't take your eyes off your phone for the last several hours?" she asked me with a sympathetic look in her eyes.

"These requests for interviews is making me a little nervous about how I should handle this situation. I know that I need to do this interview and set the record straight but I have no idea how to keep the focus in the right direction." I say to Sara as I continue to look at the list I have made.

"I think you need to take Elizabeth with you to this interview, she has a lot of experience leading a conversation while teaching, she should be able to help you keep the focus in the right direction," Sara told me. I smile at Sara because she knows what to say to me to help me get through my tough decisions.

"Sara you are right, we were both at the Vatican so we should both do this interview together," I told Sara as I hug her. "How is your family reacting to your fifteen minutes of fame?" I asked her as we walked to the kitchen.

"My family still hasn't started talking to me since I told them I was a lesbian. Even after you removed my family from the council, they were trying to set up an arranged marriage for me. I just couldn't take it and I yelled at them and left. It's been tough but I am happy with you and it's helped me come to terms with my sexuality." she said with a loving smile.

"I am sorry that your family treated you so poorly. I am happy you are with us as well. I hope you will grow strong with us." I said as I hugged her again.

Shar'li and Elizabeth were sitting at the kitchen table waiting for us to join them. They were both talking about what Elizabeth had done for the last three thousand years. "I think that I found the station that I will set up the interview with and then we will see if we will do anymore. I think that they will be less likely to try and set me up with some crazy questions. Elizabeth I was hoping that you could be in the interview with me." I asked her.

"Of course, mother. I think it would be a good idea so that we can keep things on track and I can explain things from my perspective." Elizabeth agreed with me. I looked into Shar'li's eyes and I could see that she wanted to accompany me as well.

"Would introducing Shar'li to the world be a good idea?" I asked while looking between everyone. It is an interesting question but I don't know what the answer is. She has not learned any English yet and she would be completely lost in the interview. I think she wants to be there to support me which I must admit would be great for me.

"Why don't we do the interview here in the garden you made so that everyone will be comfortable and they can see you in a more natural setting? That way if mum decides to join us, she can be here and we will be able to protect her from anything that may happen." Elizabeth suggested.

"It's your home, so it is your choice to do it here or at some other location. Sara, what are you going to do during the interview?" I asked to make sure I included her in this conversation since she has been seen on camera with me already.

"Thank you, Lilith, for including me but I think it is best that I stay in the background for now as it may cause some problems if I am asked about our relationship. It may lead to questions that could expose wizards," she said to me.

"That is a good point. I will call them back and set up a time and a place to meet so that we can get them past the police and into the house." I leave the kitchen to make the call and all the arrangements.

We had a few days before the interview so I decided to enjoy my time with Shar'li and Sara. Too bad the weather was a little cool outside. I would have loved to spend some naked time with my loved ones in the garden. For now, we just enjoyed our time indoors.

The day before the interview we made a trip to the mall so that we could get Shar'li some clothes. It caused quite a stir when I appeared in the middle of the food court with Sara and Shar'li. The phones came out to take pictures and videos of us.

We managed to get done in one store before the police arrived to try to arrest us. I decided to play a bit of leapfrog with them and teleport us between different stores to keep them confused and out of our way for the most part. We made sure to keep our excursion to the mall as short as possible. The police were getting very frustrated with us and I heard a few of the people in the area laughing at their frustration.

After we finished our shopping, we made our way back to the food court and waved to all the people that were still in the area. Then I teleported us back to the driveway in front of the house. I wanted to rub it in that they could not keep me confined.

I yelled out to the reports that we had a great time at the mall today and that I would see them out and around again in the future. This would end up being a major slap in the face for law enforcement as it showed them that they were not in control of the situation and that I could still do what I wanted with little to no inconvenience from their presence.

Shar'li looked like she was having fun with the whole incident as well. I was worried that it would make her feel uncomfortable or feel out of place. If she did it didn't show on her face at all, I saw the big smile on her face as she experienced this new adventure. Sara was giggling through the whole trip and was more of a flirter than she had ever been in public before. It wasn't just me she was flirting with; she was being very affectionate towards Shar'li.

I knew then that Sara was all in when it came to this whole relationship. I was worried that she would not be comfortable with Shar'li's appearance, but she showed no fear or hesitation as she had her arm around her. I knew our trip was going to end up all over the internet and it showed our human side in a very public way.

With Shar'li properly attired, we had to decide how we wanted to integrate into this modern society. How are we going to work with the world as it is now? What is it that mother wants me to do to help the world to get back to Eden? The Earth's people are so divided now that I worry the world would be destroyed before they would ever get along. This will probably be something that I will constantly have to think about as time goes on.

"Shar'li, I would like to know if you would be willing to change your name to a human name?" I asked her nervous that it make her come off as rude.

She looked at me confused, "Why would we do that?"

I think hard too and said, "it is important that we try to assimilate into society as much as possible. I think if we give you a more human name like Elizabeth has it will be easier for you to be seen as more human and less like a monster than everyone is afraid, we are."

"Do you think that this will work? I will do anything that will help you, so I will trust you with this," she said to me smiling and looking so proud.

"I hope this will help us to fit in better with society, but honestly I have been struggling with this since I came back to this world. I think we use a name I have heard a few times that sounds similar to your name. What do you think of the name Charlene?" I asked.

"If you think this will help, I will be happy with this name you have given me," she said to me so lovingly as she pulled me to her in a hug. She has always been there for me just as I have been for her. She may only be a queen of succubus in name since all her subjects have left, but she will always be my queen.

This world is so very different from the one we left behind but with the help of Sara and Elizabeth, we are slowly adapting to this new world.

***

The morning of the interview has arrived and I am filled with nervous energy. I am hoping that this interview will go well.

I teleport to the meeting place and immediately I see the news van that I am supposed to meet. I walk over to the van so that I can get a better look at who is coming. I see a middle-aged man with light blond hair dressed nicely in a black suit. He walks over to me with his hand outstretched. I reached up and shook his hand and he introduced himself.

"Lilith, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Andrew Cooperman; I am the producer of this show. Allow me to introduce my lead reporter and the man that will be interviewing you, Saul Pierce. Saul was a tall well fit man with a strong presence about him. He was dressed in black suit pants, with a white dress shirt, and a red tie. His hair was styled short and looked very professional. He held out his hand for me to shake as well.

"Lilith, I am looking forward to talking with you," he said with a smile that showed off his white teeth. I can see why he was on the camera, as he was very handsome. The rest of the crew included a cameraman and an electrical expert. They also were bringing a makeup artist to help us look natural under the lights.

After I was introduced to the crew, I was shown what equipment they would be using. The producer was not going with us, but he thought it was important to meet with me to explain the process. I appreciated the effort to help me understand what they would be doing.

"Folks, this is what I am going to do to get us to the site of the interview. As you know we requested that you come to our home for the interview, which is currently surrounded by the police. I will be teleporting you and the truck to the driveway on the inside of the barrier that we have set up. This magic will have no effects on you are the vehicle. It will happen quickly so it might be a little disorienting." I explain to them. "After we get there, we have several locations we can use to conduct the interview. Do not be scared of my demon family, they will not do anything to you except answer questions. Do you have any questions for me before I move along?"

They all shook their heads, no, but I sensed that they were extremely nervous. I had to focus my magic a bit more for this teleportation as moving all this mass was going to take more power than what I normally use just for people. I make the portal and move us through it. We are in the driveway next to the house. I check to make sure no one is having any ill effects as I have yet to teleport normal humans.

I turn to face the end of the drive and I can see that they are upset that I could blatantly ignore their barricade and do what we want. The other reporters are upset as well that they were not invited to interview us.

I escorted Saul and the rest of the crew to the house and showed them where we thought would be a good place to do the interview. We ended up choosing the living room as our location. Elizabeth and I went into the kitchen with the makeup artist so that they could apply a little makeup to make us look presentable on camera.

Elizabeth is looking human again and I think it would do a lot for us if they saw her in her human form. Charlene is wearing one of the new outfits that we picked up from the mall yesterday and is looking very curious at all the equipment that the camera crew has brought in with them. They set the lights and test the lighting. We have three comfortable chairs set up for us to sit on in the middle of the living room with the fireplace in the background. Family portraits are sitting on the mantle above the fireplace showing Elizabeth and her family.

Saul talks to Elizabeth and me about how he will be doing the interview. "I have a set of questions that I will be asking you throughout the interview, and if we come to a topic that I think will be interesting to the viewers I will ask some follow-up questions, to get the information. There is no time limit to this interview so feel free to answer the questions as much as you are comfortable with. I would like to know what topics you would consider as a no-go zone for the interview?" He explained.

Elizabeth says that she will not be answering any questions on the location of her husband and child, for their protection. Saul tells her that is fine and he will steer away from those topics. He was very professional about everything, not getting emotional, and also didn't question who we chose to include in the interview.

They wired us up with microphones, and we sat across from Saul.

Once signaled Saul started up with the interview.

Saul: Hello Lilith and Elizabeth, thank you for agreeing to this interview.

Elizabeth: Saul, we are happy you are here so that we can give the truth about what is going on.

Saul: Lilith, you created a global uproar when you had your fight in the Vatican. Can you explain what happened?

Lilith: Yes Saul, I am very happy to talk about that. Unlike what has been previously reported on multiple news outlets, Elizabeth and I did not go to the Vatican to attack the Vatican or the Pope. Nor did I go there to challenge the doctrines of the church. I went there to retrieve my wife that was imprisoned by the church back during the crusades. We found a shield around the church that prevented us from getting in when we broke through it, Michael came.

Saul: Elizabeth you were at the Vatican as well? We thought that it was a succubus named, Shri'la, if I remember correctly.

Elizabeth: That is correct Saul, Shri'la and I are the same person. This is the glamour that I have been using to blend in with society for the last thousand years. Before that I was moving around the world, trying to find a way to find out what happened to my mother, Lilith.

Saul: Glamour, how does that work?

Elizabeth: It is magic that covers me in an illusion that masks my true form. Elizabeth drops her glamour to reveal her true form and then puts it back up.

Saul: I can see why you would use that if you wanted to go unnoticed in society. You are a professor at the university here. What made you start teaching?

Elizabeth: Saul, as you can guess I am a bit of an expert on history having lived for about nine thousand years. Elizabeth looked at me to see if I agreed with the time frame. Saul gives a bit of a choke at that time frame.

Saul: Nine thousand years? That would be the beginning of human existence.

Lilith: Well, that is about a thousand years after humans started to populate the planet. Saul turns to me with wide eyes.

Saul: You said you were the first human, though all stories have Adam as the first human.

Lilith: Laughs a bit. Not exactly, I was created first and was given the task to take care of the garden in Eden which contained the Tree of Knowledge. Mother found that I was lonely so she created Adam in hopes that we would be good to each other. Unfortunately, Adam and I didn't get along and we ended up fighting a lot. I pleaded with mother to find someone else and to make it so Adam would just leave me alone. That is when Eve was created. The other thing that is wrong with the story is that it was Adam, not Eve, that decided to take the fruit from the tree. That caused us all to be exiled from Eden.

Saul: How is it that you are still alive and Adam and Eve are not? They aren't, are they?

Lilith: I have no idea if they are still alive, but I would guess that they are not. My exile was different from Adam and Eve's exile, they broke the rules so they received a greater punishment. I was given a seed from the Tree of Knowledge to allow me to live till such a time as humans have earned the right to enter back into Eden. My soul is bound to this plane of existence and I can't move on till humans enter Eden again. That seed was also what gave me the ability to use magic.

Saul: Elizabeth you are a succubus, and Lilith you suggested is your mother. Do you know who your father is? Lilith turned red with anger at that comment.

Elizabeth: I do not have a father, but two mothers. My other mother is the succubus right over there. She waved to Charlene to join us. This is my mother as well; succubus can get women pregnant as well as getting pregnant from a man. That is how I have a son of my own.

Saul: I see that is a touchy subject for you Lilith. Why is that?

Elizabeth: For this to not get Lilith angrier with this interview. My mother was treated very badly by the first three males that were in her life. This has made her overly sensitive to men in general, especially if they try to belittle her or treat her less than she is. As Elizabeth explained this, Charlene touched Lilith's arm and smiled at her, calming her down.

Lilith: Yes, she is right I do have an abundant amount of hate towards men in general, though I have come to accept that there are a few good ones out there. I have no problem with you Saul, and I am sorry for getting angry. You have been very civil with me and I appreciate that.

Saul: I am sorry, I didn't mean to offend you in any way. So, let's move on to a different subject. From the fight in the Vatican, you named one of the angels Lucifer. Is that the same Lucifer that is also known as the devil?

Lilith: Yes, that is correct Saul, that was the same Lucifer that goes by many different names here on Earth. I met him for the first time before he fell from Heaven. Even then he was manipulative and very selfish. When I left Eden, it was Michael and Lucifer who befriended me and taught me how to use magic, but as time went on, I started to see their true colors and I had to get away.

Saul: Lucifer mentioned to Michael that you had some type of deal, can you explain that?

Lilith: Yes, I wasn't in a place where I could fight him, and I am not sure I would win if I did. He also is skeptical about being able to beat me, so we have a deal that if he leaves me and mine alone, I will not challenge him in his other deals. Sorry Saul, but I couldn't protect everyone from his influence. Especially those who go in with the specific goal of making a deal with him.

Saul: I see. So, does Lucifer often walk around making deals?

Lilith: No, he has low-level demons who make the deals probably because they are expendable if anything goes wrong. I am sure that he will be bad-mouthing me at this point when he sees this.

Saul: You think he will watch this?

Lilith: I am sure he will, he made a special trip and came to the Vatican just to watch me fight Michael. He is very interested in people up here that have a lot of power and influence and he doesn't like that he can't manipulate me.

Saul: May we ask Charlene a few questions, Lilith?

Lilith: She currently does not speak English so Elizabeth or I would have to translate the question for her. Lilith turns to Charlene and asked in the demonic language 'they would like to ask you some questions are you ok with that?' Charlene looks surprised by this but agrees to answer. She said she would answer your questions if she can.

Saul: What language were you two speaking?

Lilith: That was the demonic language. It's what all demons spoke when they roamed free on Earth. Saul's eyes got wide when Lilith told him that.

Saul: I see. Charlene, what has it been like coming back to the modern world?

Charlene: After Lilith translated the question to her. Charlene told Lilith 'I find I like many new things about the modern world.' She then smiled at him. Lilith translated this back to Saul.

Saul: Now that we have found out a little bit about your past, can you tell us what your plan for the future is?

Lilith: I have thought about this since I decided to do this interview, and to be honest I don't have a firm plan for the future. Up until now, I have been only worried about finding Charlene and getting her back. Now that I have, I need to figure out what I should do. Mother told me that the time that I spent away from humans was not necessarily the right action. She said 'free will' is her most important gift to all of us, and she will not interfere with that. But like I said before I am stuck on this plane of existence until humans are worthy of Eden again. My goal is to try to find a way to help people reach that goal. Unfortunately, I am not sure how to do that. I will take the ideals of Mother and not interfere with free will.

Saul: Mother, who are you referring to?

Lilith: Mother is the Goddess that made me. She is the one that major religions refer to as God. Just so it's clear, another thing that makes me mad is when men think they are better than women, just because they are men. Michael was like that and I just had to hand him his ass because of it.

Saul: That is going to cause a major disruption in all the religions, not to try to offend you, but how do you know?

Lilith: I guess that is a fair question, so I will not take offense to it. I have been able to talk to the Goddess all my life. Most of the time when we talked it was always a female voice I heard. I had never seen her with my own eyes until right before my fight at the Vatican. I prayed to her for guidance on what I should do now that I knew Charlene was at the Vatican. So, before I went to the Vatican, she came down to me to talk to me face to face. Now she did not tell me to go to the Vatican, but she told me it was my choice on whether or not I wanted to let Charlene continue to suffer. It was a choice to let her continue to let her suffer and have Michael come for me or do nothing. I was going to have to face Michael at some time. I did not think that Michael would fight me there.

Saul: So, you met with the Goddess? But she told you that you either do nothing or free Charlene? That doesn't seem like much of a choice. I can see why you went to the Vatican.

Lilith: Yes, and I must admit that I was not particularly happy that she told me what I already knew. But I was also grateful that she came to me in person to talk to me and not just a voice like before.

Saul: Why do you think she came to see you in person this time?

Lilith: My best guess is that she knew that I needed her to come to me.

Saul: Lilith, what is your favorite thing to do especially since you have your wife back?

Lilith: Sex, that is the greatest thing that being with a succubus is that the sex is always amazing. Other than that, I love to spend time in the gardens that I made in the backyard. It reminds me of Eden.

Saul: We will probably have to edit the sex part of your answer. It is a cable news station. I have to thank you for your time, Lilith. This was an eye-opening experience for me. I hope that we can talk more in the future, maybe after you figure out what you are going to do. I would love to discuss that with you.

Lilith: Saul, I must say that I didn't know what to expect from this interview, but you asked what I thought were good questions and you were very professional. I will be in touch with you when I decide I need to give another interview. Lilith stood up and shook Saul's hand. Elizabeth also shook his hand and thanked him for the interview.

***

After getting the news crew all packed up and their vehicle back to the studio. I decided to go out to talk to the FBI agents.

"Special Agent Deacon," I called out to him. I had to wait a few minutes before he came out from his command tent. "Have you learned yet that what you are doing here is useless?" I asked.

"You can get us to go away if you come out so we can talk to you. Just step on out here and we will make all this go away." He said in a condescending tone.

"Ok, I thought I would try since you obviously can't keep us contained in here and you can't get in here, I figured you would give up. Maybe next time I talk to the press I will do it right here so they can show the country just how futile this entire operation is." I said to him, then turned around to walk back to the house.

I only took a few steps when I heard a loud bang. I spun around to see the drop of a large bullet dropping from the barrier. I yell back at Deacon, "like I said completely useless. You just don't get it, do you? There is absolutely no way you are going to get past the barrier."

He turns around frustrated with my comment. Everyone came running outside to me after they heard the shot. I decided that I need to start a line stream so that I can show everyone what is going on out here.

Once I am streaming, "Hello everyone, Lilith here again. Today we had some interesting developments with our watchdogs on the street around our home. They tried to use a sniper to try to shoot me. That is totally uncool and frankly sad considering the barrier we have up."

"We had a nice trip to the mall yesterday to get my wife some new clothes and shoes. The police didn't really like that but were unable to stop us."

"Oh, my goodness, where are my manors? Let me introduce you to everyone. First, this is my wife, Charlene. She is the reason that I went to the Vatican for. 'Wave to the camera Charlene,'" I say as I wave to the camera as well. I lean over and kiss her on the cheek. "She is such a beautiful and fun-loving woman. This woman next to her is my daughter, Elizabeth. She is the one that helped me free Charlene from the Vatican. On my other side, this is Sara, she is Charlene's and mine beloved girlfriend." As I say that Sara kisses me on my cheek and gives Charlene a big hug.

Sara said to the camera, "Hello all those that follow Lilith. Expect to see me from time to time in her videos. I am interested in seeing your comments. You can send your questions to me in the comments."

"Sara is right, she will be a regular on my videos and pictures. She has helped me to become more comfortable with this new time. I owe her a great deal for all that she has done for me." I said and that got me a kiss on the lips from Sara.

"So back to the question of the day, what is the FBI planning to do now? After they used a sniper on me a little bit ago, they got frustrated with me. I told them that any attempt to get through the barrier would be futile, they just refuse to listen. Let's see if they can get their heads out of their asses and show us some manners." I continue to narrate as I walk down the driveway.

"As you can see this is my view every morning, a sea of police cars," I say to the camera. I then turn the camera out to the police force and yell out, "hey can we get a wave for all my viewers?"

"Ugg, no waves, sorry viewers it looks like the police are still a little butt hurt from being stuck out here."

"What do you think viewers? Should we give up?" I asked into the camera. Many viewers have sent comments to tell us we should not give up. "My viewers tell me that they think I should not give up. I tend to agree with that assessment." I turn the camera back at the police and then I yell at them, "Fuck off."

To their credit, they learned from last time and didn't try to fire into the barrier again. They didn't look happy though. I turn to walk back towards the house with one arm around Sara who is sandwiched between Charlene and myself. "Now that was some fun!" I comment to my viewers.

"I must admit it is still a bit annoying to have the police always out there but I suppose that is the price I have to pay for disrupting the world order with my antics. I wonder what it will take for the governments to understand that I will not be controlled by them. I am willing to talk to them but they have to ask nicely, not make threats." I say with a smile.

"I am going to show you my favorite place here. No, not my bedroom, that is a close second though. The first thing I did once I came here was to create a garden here in the yard. Now, this is my favorite place because it is the best, I can recreate Eden in this world. The only thing missing is the Tree of Knowledge, that is because only Goddess can create that tree."

"If you know anything about flowers you will notice quite a few flowers here that you will not see outside of one of my gardens. That is because they are extinct and the only way that they can survive now is if I feed them a bit of magic." I tell my viewers as I walk through the garden and stop by my favorite flowers. As I ended the tour I signed off to my viewers and started to walk back into the house.

I am starting to miss my garden at school and even my students. Maybe we could pop over there and visit a bit? I am sure Elizabeth would be happy to go with me so that she can see her son and her husband. I like that school, but I think I am going to have to move out of Justice's room now that I have Charlene back. I can't expect her to put up with me sharing my bed with two women all the time.

I know I can make a little home inside the garden for myself and Charlene, a place that Sara can choose to stay at, or if she wants a break, she can stay in her dorm room.

I look up at everyone, "how about we go to the school? I am missing it a bit and I think it's time I move my stuff out of the dorms."

Everyone was happy to get out, especially Elizabeth. We packed a few things and I teleported us back to the school outside my room. I make sure to knock on the door so that Elizabeth doesn't see anything that her son might be doing. Luckily no one was there so I was able to quickly grab all my things out of the room, and there would be no drama.
