A/N I seriously, big time, adore Lucifer. I know that that is pretty much insane, but I just prefer him so much more to the rest of the pompous archangels (Gabriel being an obvious exception). Do I love Michael? Not so much... This story is just pre-series, pre-EVERYTHING, and mostly revolves around Lucifer's falls. It is a multi chapter, but because this chapter is small, (I just had to cut it off where I did...), I will be posting two chapters per each day of posting. WARNING: All my chapters are pretty small unless I have reason to elongate them for the simple reason that I am too impatient too type out long winding things and my brain just works in short spurts. I am still not sure if I'm including the Winchesters in this story, or if I am including direct references to the show at all, so there may be spoilers for all the seasons... I need to learn to stop rambling, on to Luci and his adventures! :) ~Sammy
He had fallen. He had fallen so many times, it wasn't a shock anymore. The first few times, he had been terrified, and exhilarated, the falling in itself was an act of defiance. Nobody dared fall. Nobody but he. Now, the thrill was gone, it was routine. Hardly any time passed between one fall and the next. It was beginning to get tiresome. But he could not stop. If he stopped falling, who knew where he would land? Every single being knew of his third fall,it was the most well recorded even in mythology and history. Nobody knew, however of his first falls, the ones that led to his next acts of defiance. His first fall, the first fall ever, was into love.
Lucifer had grown up surrounded by his brothers, Uriel, Raphael, Gabriel, and, of course, Michael. Nobody ever forgot Michael. He was the brightest of them all, the most favored son, the greatest archangel to ever exist. Lucifer hardly ever thought of this though, none of them did. How could they find time for Pride or Envy, when they were so consumed by their devotion to their Father? He loved the five of them the most, they were His favorites out of the many angels He had created. Then the five of them grew up, and though their devotion did not wane, their minds and hearts evolved and they began to explore their surroundings. They lost the innocence they had been created with as they questioned the things around them, Lucifer more so than the rest. The only one who remained completely loyal, who refused to question anything their Father made, accepting it unconditionally, was Michael. He became the unsaid leader of the angels, his undying faith in their Father his greatest virtue. Lucifer was the only one of the opinion that it was a weakness, that it blinded him to the unjust creatures their Father had created. Their Father was perfect, but His creations were not. Earth was just a place to store all the things that had turned out wrong.
Lucifer often fought with Michael and his other brothers, but for the most part, they were united. They were family after all, family never gave up on each other. Everything was as perfect as it could be. Then their Father did the one thing, the only thing, that could throw everything off balance. He created Man. That simple act was not what ruined it though, their Father's mistake was that He loved them too much. So much so that He began to ignore His angels. Yet Michael remained faithful, encouraging all the angels to love mankind too. All of them found that loving them wasn't particularly difficult, they were such fascinating creatures, they found themselves getting absorbed in all of Man's activities. Lucifer too, found himself feeling affectionate towards this fragile species his Father had created. They were intriguing.
The angels would often visit Earth, to check up on all the creations living there. Some died out, some flourished. Sometimes Father would instruct them to annihilate a few of His creations whenever He thought that they were getting out of hand. Lucifer had been the only angel to feel a thrill whenever they wiped those abominations off of the face of the planet. He had had a particularly fun time when they were told to get rid of the dinosaurs. All the angels had joined hands and formed an extremely large meteorite-like heavenly object, and Lucifer had propelled it into the surface of the Earth, destroying almost all the life there. The other angels mourned the loss of so many innocent lives, but Lucifer was secretly overjoyed. He loved the power that coursed though him whenever he succeeded in breaking something, be it as large as a star, or as small as an atom. He hid his emotions well though, he knew what his siblings would say if they found out about his perverse pleasure.
Lucifer became a master at keeping secrets, his lies were foolproof, he could persuade anybody into doing what he wanted. The other angels didn't realize what he was doing, their innocence and blind Faith their eventual downfall. Only his brother, Gabriel, had a vague notion of Lucifer's deceitful capabilities. Lucifer did not worry, however, of Gabriel exposing his true self to Father. Gabriel was undyingly faithful to Lucifer, his imperfect brother, and Gabriel preferred him to the almost sickeningly pompous Michael. Gabriel had learnt how to be mischievous from Lucifer, soon he had excelled and even crossed Lucifer at trickery. Gabriel was not a threat to Lucifer's games.
A/N I really don't have a fixed schedule, so I might not have a regular posting time, but I'll try to get in new chapters for any and/or all of my stories each week. Till then, enjoy the next chapter! :D ~Sammy
