Status: Private (Aziraphale; Ellie; The Child & Asmodeus)
Setting: Cairo, Egypt
Summary: Cairo, where things start heating up.

The Four Seasons hotel was relatively new it’s pale beige walls were newly scrubbed and it’s decor was suitable. It may not have been an opulent palace as the demon had grown accustom to in his many years as posing as both the god Ra-Atum and as the Enemy of Ra, Apep. However, he felt a great deal of relief settle in his form.

Asmodeus sought out the front desk and, in fluent Arabic, asked to know which room his daughter was in. He presented the necessary paperwork to show that yes, he was Amos Diaz and was shown immediately to a corner room up on the twelfth floor with a breath taking view of the Nile. He tapped lightly on the door, hoping that she was not asleep.

"The Antichrist?" she repeated in surprise. "I have read about him. He is already here? Why did he not do as he was meant to?"

Asmodeus thought about the question carefully. Giving the wrong sort of answer would be a bad idea at just this point. The truth had won him a few points in this, he didn’t think it’d hurt now.

“He didn’t want them mucking things up,” said the daeva carefully layering his words with concern, “or so he said. That the world had already been mucked up enough as it was and it didn’t need a big celestial war to make it an even bigger mess. Of course, if the war had progressed the AntiChrist wouldn’t have much of a princedom to call his own. Keeping the world like it was has, I’m sure, been very beneficial to the youth. As I said, I worry. I worry that he is just biding his time, like a slow-acting disease, waiting for the perfect moment to enslave everyone and everything to his will. He could do it too and make everyone on this world not even realize that it’s been done would just be the icing on the cake.”
