This is a revised version of the story that I published on Smashword starting back in 2014. It is rewritten with much-added material. However, I did have to age up some of the characters so no one is underage in this version.

Our greatest advantage is the selfishness of man. They do not share power willingly. And Warlocks are the most selfish of men. While our enemy is vile, give thanks to the Creator that you will never have to face more than a single one.

After our relaxing dinner, we drove out out to the very crossroads I had made my own Pact at a few nights ago. I dug a new hole, next to mine, and then we had a few hours to kill. We stretched out on some soft grass, Mary pressed against my body, her head pillowed on my arm, and we watched the sky darken and the stars slowly appear, twinkling like diamonds.

Which Tyrant committed the worst crimes? Mark’s are obvious. He led, but Mary followed. There is no question that Mary was once dominated by Mark and made into his Thrall.

She had no compunction at twisting lives to her whim, and she did it after having her own life warped.

There were still hours to kill before I made my Pact with the Devil tonight. And I was nervous as hell as we left Mike. My anger at my ex-boyfriend for cheating on me for a year was slowly consumed by my fear of what was going to happen tonight.

Even before the Tyrants were dominating nations, they dominated any that came into contact with them. They were drunk on power. Men and women were commanded to fall in love, ordered to perform obscene acts, and to revel in the degradation the Tyrants heaped upon them.

Alison and Desiree were still in the sex shop after twenty minutes, giving me plenty of time to dig into Mary Sullivan. I searched Facebook and, after going through thirteen different Mary Sullivans, I found her profile, a picture of the redhead smiling, her arm wrapped around a weaselly-faced, black-haired man, his right ear pierced, and an ugly soul patch perched on his chin.
