A/N: I'll put the rest at the bottom so this doesn't keep you too long, but fair warning – I never read the comics, and while there's a bit of info from the show, I don't agree with parts of it (for example – there's no way that Amenadiel is the oldest). Point of the matter being that I took a lot of the angel hierarchy in Lucifer into my own hands.

Also, all review responses are at the bottom of the chapter the review was made on.

Disclaimer: I do not own Lucifer or any of its characters, and most of the OCs (specifically the angels) are based off of something or other – whether it be a friend in real life or other TV show characters or even books.

Prologue

The Beginning

You all know how it works…

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth – so on and so forth.

You should know that the Host of Heaven was created long before humans were ever even an idea in His mind. And you should also know that the archangels were created before the angels. With Her by His side, they were all a family. She was the Mother, and He was the Father.

It was just them: Him, Her, and their archangels – Michael, Samael, Raphael, and Gabriel.

Then He created another: Amenadiel. And She was fine with this; for though this new angel was not an archangel, he was still Her son. Amenadiel played with his brothers on equal grounds within their home, Heaven.

She was indifferent when He created another one of His new angels. But then He created more and more. She was not happy. She was prideful of Her firstborn, hating to those She did not help create. She became jealous of His love to His other creations over Her.

Earth – humanity – was the last straw.

She secretly took Her anger out on the angels. To Her sons – the archangels and Amenadiel – it only seemed as if She had grown cold and distant, but to the angels – those who were not Her own – She became a tyrant. Her rage ran rampant, yet still He continued to create.

So She went to His favorite son. She voiced Her troubles to Samael, and he listened. With Her twisted truths in his ears, he saw reason in Her words. Samael rebelled and was cast down to Hell, where he would eventually become Lucifer, the Devil. She watched with a horrified look on Her face and a smile behind the mask.

But to Her dismay, this blow (for He loved Samael— Lucifer more than any of Their other children) did nothing to deter Him from creating. Humanity grew, and She continued Her tyranny over the angels. Until one angel had enough. This angel gathered evidence against Her, knowing that He would refuse to believe of such things otherwise. After all, She was His Wife.

Having finally gotten enough evidence after another hundred years, this angel told God of what She was doing, and He believed the angel. However, He couldn't kill Her. The angel suggested doing to Her as She had convinced Him to do to His favorite son. God frowned at the angel's implication, asking what the angel meant. The angel told Him everything; for this angel had known of Her deeds since the angel had overheard Her confessions to Samael.

In the end, She was cast down and locked away in Hell with Lucifer as Her warden.

A/N: Mind you, this is just the prologue… I'm going to put a bunch of author stuff here, so you can either skip this and go on to the first actual chapter or you can read some "important" information about this fic.

If you haven't noticed already, this is my first dip into the waters of this fandom (writing-wise), and I wouldn't mind some advice if I get something wrong— Do note that I've kind of set up my own cannon with this prologue for a bit of background mythology on angels since the show's doesn't connect with me. Though I did take most of Charlotte's (you know, the Mother or Mum… whatever you call her – her/she is going to be capitalized only at certain times for reasons) character background into consideration. Also, this was thought up before the second half of season 2 was aired (so any TV show cannon past 2x10 is kind of chopped liver).

On another note, Supernatural fans may notice that I used the archangels as a kind of base line for whom the original family was comprised of – because like I said earlier, I have some issues with Lucifer's angel hierarchy. And while you won't be actively seeing Michael, Gabriel, or Raphael; they will be mentioned. Anyways, I mentioned earlier that a lot of the OCs are angels, but there's going to a main one and then a few supporting her – yes, her… And I'm going to go ahead and say that her relationship with Lucifer is platonic, no funny business.

And though I only have Lucifer and OC as the listed characters of this story (hahaha, I changed that), the rest of the Lucifer characters will show up (because it's kind of hard to keep them out...) along with the many OCs that I have in mind. That being said, there's definitely going to be some major clashing of the show cannon within the first actual chapter (because this was the prologue, people) as you will see. So quit reading this and move on – swipe left... Now.

QuirkCirc: I can't wait to see where I take this, too!

BekaRoo: I really haven't forgotten you guys. I really haven't. I'm just low on the inspiration for this fic, so forcing myself to write any sort of chapter is like stabbing myself in the brain. School usually helps since writing fanfiction diverts that urge's cause to school related stuff and not fanfiction, which gives some room for me to write whatever the hell I want.

Avenage99: I know you're new. I introduced you to this fandom, lol.
