A sketch commission from @martasketch of King Marx/Xander and Queen Madora! 👑💍💜

Engulfed by Darkness

The commission card for @princemarxfucker

a lonely goddess says to me - you aren’t alone; you don’t have to be alone anymore

“Let’s at least deal the final blow together.”

Marx’s idiot underclassmen friends (aka Pieri and Laz) wanna do demon summoning and he doesn’t fuck with that shit but also he feels Responsible for them as the dad-friend.

They’re doing the summoning bullshit and one of them has to go into the circle and actually physically commune with the demon. Marx doesnt expect them to take it that far but they do and he volunteers bc like hell he’s gonna let THOSE TWO commune with some soul possessing monster even potentially

Anyway they make him summon fucking Beleth, great and terrible King of Hell. (they’re failing math, and got halfway down the wikipedia article for demons of the Ars Goetia before they saw Beleth helped Noah compose a book on Mathematics)

Anyway the summoning commences and hellfire and brimstone start appearing. There’s a pale horse with a fearsome dragon-knight, who turns into a terrible beast (aka Madora’s dragon form). She speaks terrible words unto the trio, but Marx shows NO FEAR bc even if he didnt think his idiot friends would actually summon a demon and didnt rly exist in that sort of stuff, but he’s also 100% prepared protect his friends from anything no matter what. He also happens to always wear a silver ring on his left middle finger so lucky him. Beleth knows this summoning isn’t perfect but it’s been some fuck odd years since she’s been called on properly, so as long as Marx doesn’t show any fear, and properly respects her, she’s willing to play along.

He actually does a good job, and out of amusement she decides to legitimately form a contract with him. Hijinx ensue.

Aka, Beleth reveals her true form, AKA Madora. Marx made the contract hastily and with terrible wording because he didnt know shit, so it’s something like “This contract will be fulfilled only once Beleth has given her power unto the contractor.” Except her actual dominion isn’t mathematics, but love. Marx says he doesn’t need that shit, but she’s like “too bad so sad, choose someone to go gaga over you or im staying. like. i literally cant leave now”

Beleth also isn’t her actual name. It’s just a title. I mean in that case it might as well be her name, but she picks the name Madora out because modern corruption of Medea and she’s a little shit who hopes she gets to fulfill love by means of making someone brainwashed and murderous. She also gets to do fun shit like start playing dupstep whenever she enters a room since Beleth’s arrival is accompanied by “trumpets and all manner of musics” and “all manner of musics” also applies to dubstep in this present day. Of course, she’s also under command to tutor Pieri and LAz, but there’s some things even demons aren’t capable of.

Of course other hijinx include Madora her demonic powers for petty things, the gang showing Madora modern day things and Madora not knowing what the fuck they are, and Madora “being a demon, not a miracle worker” and the gang getting into wacky situations when they’re too hopeless for even her magic to work (of course, sometimes she pretends her magic won’t work on purpose.....). Then there’s also the “having to make excuses as to why this strange but beautiful woman is suddenly with Marx all the time” thing

One of the running gags - Madora trying to make up a sorcerer name for Marx because she cannot fucking Believe her contractor doesn’t even have a proper Name, and thinking up increasingly ridiculous things to have them rejected.

Of course Marx falls for Madora and vice versa but they’re too stubborn to admit it - cue Madora trying to set Marx up with a bunch of people to get out of her contract because she does not like being bound my shitty human emotions/Marx ending dates in disaster bc he only has eyes for her/Madora catching on that he’s been sabotaging her and tells him not to but it still doesnt fucking work bc her demon powers won’t work on something that has an absolute 0 percent chance of happening (aka him loving someone else).
