Darktober Day 17 - Sick

“I and a lot of others were surprised to learn that low-tier Infernals can’t withstand being in Heaven for extended periods. They begin to feel sick, usually nausea and headaches. Turns out their very essence is incompatible with the atmosphere. As long as their allegiance is still to Hell, that is.

Macabre never had this issue, as he had no reason to align with Hell from the start. Aria, however, only came to escape being wed to Macabre’s psychotic sister, Lilith. She hoped to keep the Goetia off her trail. Taking her to the mortal realms gave her a chance to recuperate, but she always held it off as long as possible to continue evading Lilith, until things were unbearable.

It’s a good thing she began to love another Celestial, as she finally had incentive to abandon her previous life. These illnesses stopped as soon as she declared her love and dedication for Caleb.

Huh, of the three rogue Infernals, being Macabre, Vex and Aria, only Aria suffered all of that. Vex disavowed Hell before showing up as well.”
