Water Serpents:

Simone’s Notes:

According to the Kabbalah and the school of Rashba, the original three queens of the demons, Agrat Bat Mahlat, Naamah, Eisheth Zenunim, and all their cohorts give birth to children, except Lilith. According to other legends, the children of Lilith are called Lilin. According to the Malleus Maleficarum, or "Witches' Hammer", written by Heinrich Kramer (Institoris) in 1486, a succubus collects semen from the men she seduces. The incubi or male demons then use the semen to impregnate human females, thus explaining how demons could apparently sire children despite the traditional belief that they were incapable of reproduction. Children so begotten –cambions– were supposed to be those that were born deformed, or more susceptible to supernatural influences. The book does not address why a human female impregnated with the semen of a human male would not produce a regular human offspring, although after transferring the male semen to the Incubi it is believed the semen is altered to match the genetic material of the Succubus and the incubi before being transferred to a human female host. But in some Viking lore the child is born deformed because the conception was unnatural.

The she devils are out tonight. They are looking for more dads for their children. Two of them are really on the hunt tonight. Fire and Water sat on the roof in wait. Fire wants to have all of the gorgeous men in the north and west. Her soul sister, Water, wants the beautiful men in the south and east. They agreed to meet back home just before sunrise.

Water is more flirty and angelic in appearance than her sister. The men mistake her for a masochist when they first meet her. Tonight would be no different. Water made her way into the bar in the east. She took her seat and let her charms do the work. It didn’t take long for her to attract her first victim. A man about thirty years old noticed her when she first sat down. She looked up to see him giving her a kind smile.

“Can I buy you a drink?” he asked. Water’s eyes twinkled at that question.

“Sure,” she said. The guy took a seat next to her thinking that he scored tonight.

“What’s your name?” he asked. Water twirled her long dark brown hair like a schoolgirl in love.

“You can call me whatever you like,” she said. The man smirked at such a response.

“Okay,” he said. “I’ll call you Crystal.” Water smiled as the name floated through her ears.

“I like that,” she said. Her date put up his hand.

“Bar tender!” he shouted. “Two drinks for my lady and I!” She smiled at the older man got to work. “Crystal” leaned on her date’s arm. The man gave her a rather caught off guard look.

“Oh,” he muttered. “Crystal” glanced up at him with kitty-like eyes.

“Tell me what your name is,” she said in a low voice. The man gave off a nervous chuckle.

“Tommy,” he replied. “Crystal” giggled.

“That’s a nice name,” she murmured. “You know what I want right now?” Tommy shook his head.

“No,” he replied. Her lips came within inches of his before they met for a kiss. She pulled away just as he was starting to enjoy himself. “Take me out of here,” “Crystal” whispered. Water didn’t need to repeat herself. The target took her by the hand and led her out of the bar.

“Where to now?” Tommy asked outside. “Crystal” turned to him with a naughty smirk on her face. She leaned close as if to kiss him.

“Take me back your place,” the succubus breathed out. “I want you in my arms for the whole night.” Tommy fell into her seductive spell at her words.

“Yes, my queen,” he said as if he was in a daze. He took hold of her hand and took her back to his place for the trap to spring to life.
