Erishad of Uruk is a disgraced priestess, forced by her gods to live forever and endure the miscarriage of her unborn child every morning. With the help of a voudon priest, she captures the gods in a bottle to force them to end their curse. When they are unable to undo the curse, she summons the spirit of her 4000-times murdered child into the bottle, where it kills the gods. Lucifer then comes to her with a proposition: he will end her existence if she gives him her child. She accepts.
