As Kenny and Pip planned devious schemes, an oblivious Damien sullenly walked through the gates of Hell. He took the road his own father had taken only a few times before- once when he was banished, and a round-trip for advice. The stairway was torture for the young heir of Darkness. Instead of the screams and cries of the damned fading behind him, the soft and famous Angel Chorus could be heard murmuring sweet hymns. Actually inspired by the tunes, he began to sing a song of love on his own.
"You waved your hand and it was done
Said 'let it be!' and there it was."
As he reached the pearly Gates, he was bombarded by the sounds of the goody-goody Mormons as they invited and pressed him into joining their various heavenly activities. Damien had to stop himself from punching and slapping the parasitic creatures into a pulp of Bloody Putty, something he used to play with as a child. Instead, he politely and quietly declined through gritted teeth.
"No thank you." He smiled (sneered possibly?) as best as he could while his hands tingled with the hellfire he was struggling to control.
"Are you sure?" They happily asked with their creepy, happy smiles in tact. "Because we were going to-"
"I'm quite sure." The Anti-Christ interrupted curtly. As he walked away from their flocked group, he found himself looking down upon the earth and understood why his father had wanted control over the Upperworld.
"A mountain so high
It broke through the sky,
A canyon so deep
It'd bring a man to his knees."
Somehow (perhaps because he was gazing upon England and America) he once more began thinking of Pip and his low chances. Even though Pip, his little blond angel, may not have it in his heart to forgive the raven, Damien knew there was one who might be able to help him if he didn't hate Damien as well.
"I've seen what you can do-
I've seen you make you make miracles
And hopeless dreams come true.
"You made the heavens and the stars
Everything, come on hard
Could it be to make [him] love me."
Nearing the sacred place where he knew he would meet his sworn enemy's father, he remembered why Pip was so angry with him in the first place. Everything he did, everything he said came flooding back and almost forced him to turn away and forget about the love and forgiveness he didn't deserve- but still, for reasons unknown, he pressed on. Even if Pip deserved flesh blood, or even a soul who knew humans emotions better than he did (being human for only few days while father cleaned people of their cash in bet money), he knew he had try.
"Said some things I shouldn't have
Tried everything to win [him] back
I [was] human, I messed up
Is [he] gone, are we done?
"Forgiveness, another chance
That's all I want, it's in your hands."
Finally he reached his destination and the One who was waiting for him, who always knew when things would take place. Damien a breath, and although he knew God knew what it was the child wanted to say, he professed his heartfelt words again.
"I've seen what you can do-
I've seen you make miracles
And hopeless dreams come true,
You made the heavens and the stars
Everything, come on how hard
Could it be to make [him] love me?"
The Lord sighed and placed a gentle hand on Damien's shoulder.
"So you see, son, I think you'll find that you'll get what's coming to you." He told Damien.
"Thank you." The sixteen-year-old genuinely beamed. "Thank you for everything!"
God watched as the child scampered away (as children do, even one such as Damien), and sighed because He knew what Pip and Kenny had in store for the young Anti-Christ and knew what would come out of it. But then, He knew everything, and everything always happened for a reason.
