Thousands of years later she found Chutriel and consummated their marriage, giving birth to her son Ghatanothoa in a cave in New Mexico. Ghatanothoa was supposed to unite Hell and Earth, but he turned on his mother, devouring her. He confronted Chutriel's avatar El Diablo, offering to make him a general in his war against the world.
