Hello, hello! Here's chapter 10! Y'all enjoy and as usual, reviews make my day and flames can deal with my OC. Warning: chapter contains coarse language. Reader discretion is advised.
This will work, Lucifer thought determinately. It has to.
Lucifer and Maze walked for what seemed like eons until they've arrived at the mountain where the Divine Balance is. "The real thing looks so much better than the drawing," Lucifer said as he gazed upon the Balance for the first time in his existence. The Balance, placed on a large stone table, glowed with ancient power. Lucifer wanted to reach out and touch the Balance, but Mazikeen stopped him.
"Why did you stop me? We came all the way here to this Dad-forsaken cave in the mountains of Hell so that we can change Fate!" The former Prince of Darkness said, feeling irked. "We can't just reach out and tip the Balance," Maze replied calmly. "There's something we have to do first." The demoness said.
"What is it?" Lucifer asked. "According to the book, we have to make a sacrifice, but you're not going to like it," Maze said. "Just spit it out, Mazikeen, what is the sacrifice?" Lucifer said exasperatedly. The demoness took a breath and said, "The Balance requires spiritual energy. In Heaven, there's an angel who chants a spell to transfer this power, but at a cost. The power comes from the spell caster's soul." Maze finished.
"Are you saying that to change the Balance, I'd have to sacrifice my soul?" Lucifer asked, eyes wide. "Not your soul, Lucifer, the Divine Balance requires a soul that is pure and untainted," Maze said. "Then whose soul do I have to sacrifice?" Lucifer pressed on. "You'd have to sacrifice the soul of a certain homicide detective's child." The demoness explained. "Beatrice?" Lucifer asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "She's my Chloe's only daughter and I hate to admit it, she has started to grow on me. I can't sacrifice her soul to the Divine Balance! There has to be another way!" The King of Hell shouted.
Suddenly, the flapping of wings was heard, and Amenadiel appeared before the Devil and his protector. "What are you doing in the Shrine of the Divine Balance, Luci?" Amenadiel asked, his arms crossed. "I'm here to change Fate and get Maze and me back to Earth and my Detective Decker, and you can't stop me," Lucifer said defiantly. "Oh really?" Amenadiel asked. "Just how are you going to do that, brother?" The archangel pressed on, a smirk across his angelic features.
"Like fuck I'm telling you! You're the one who sent me back here!" Lucifer roared. "Watch your tone, Luci, or I'm going to have to discipline you." Amenadiel threatened. "I'd love to see you try!" The Lord of Hell challenged. With a mighty flap of his wings, the archangel charged at Lucifer, ready to deliver the first punch. Lucifer's eyes glowed red as he raised his fists, fully prepared to fight to the death.
GASP! Will Lucifer sacrifice Trixie's soul to the Divine Balance or can he find another way? Maybe he should use Amenadiel's soul instead, but that would be beyond cruel even for the Devil. If you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to leave a review or PM me! Also, I won't be updating this story till next week because I write my poetry pieces during the weekend and my fiction stories during the week. I'll try to have the next chapter ready on Monday. Stay tuned!
