Chapter 21

Evolution

I have not failed…I have just found 10.000 ways that won't work.

~Thomas Edison~

After a surprising 19th Century, Sebastian and Nodi calmly strolled into the 20th Century.

To them the 20th century felt like some kind of evolution, every 10 years, fashion and music changed so drastically it felt as if they stepped into a different different universe.

Nodi personally loved the 70's and the 80's, mostly because Lucifer did so too, whenever there was a big disco party, Lucifer would leave work for what it is and he'd go up to Nodi and Sebastian, and take Nodi out to a club. They'd dance till the sun would rise, sometimes they'd even go to a roller disco and just do whatever they'd like.

Sebastian kept it with the somewhat quiet years, he liked the 50's, WW II had just ended and everyone felt their rightly deserved freedom, and even though the music was getting a bit wilder he loved seeing people enjoy their freedom, they were able to be who they are without anyone neglecting them.

The world started developing and more and more inventions became reality.

But before those things would bring happiness, they had to go through some horrible disasters.

Sebastian had invited Lucifer to come live with Jenny, Nodi and him. He was always working and Sebastian thought he needed some fun, and seeing how much fun he and Nodi have had in the last few centuries. He wanted Lucifer to loosen up a bit.

Lucifer agreed thinking nothing special would happen either way, so he could use a little "vacation".

Little did he know, WW I was starting to happen slowly.

The trigger for the war was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary.

Things escalated quickly and because Lucifer and Sebastian lived in England together with Nodi and Jenavive, they were forced to join the army to fight for their country.

The entire globe was involved, almost all of Europe, the United States, Russia and Japan.

Lucifer and Sebastian had to leave home for a few years, 4 to be exact, but compared to what they are used to, and to what beings they are. This war was just childsplay for them. They tried to look as human as possible, when they got shot, they had to pretend it hurt. Jenavive and Nodi weren't worried at all, they were living in London at the time, in Ciel's mansion.

They saw police walk by now and then, Nodi later started to understand why she saw the police walk by so much. In their street there were a lot of men who were forced to fight in the war, men who weren't trained to fight. Sons of bakers, shop owners, bankers, things that had nothing to do with fighting.

In the end almost none of those survived, the police came by to bring the families a telegram. The feared telegram, it always started with "We deeply regret to inform you…". Not long after the police passed the mansion, a loud scream was heard. It didn't matter how many houses were in between, they screaming and crying always sounded the same. Cries full of feelings, full of hatred towards the army and the war.

Jenavive and Nodi always passed by and helped the families, they encouraged them to look further and live life with their lost one, close to their hearts.
They invited them for dinner and tried getting their minds of this horrible war.

Many thanked them with gifts and food. And as soon as Lucifer and Sebastian had returned, they came to greet them.

When the war was over, they returned back to having fun, they went to parties and theatres, house visits and joked around, especially Lucifer loved joking around with people, most of the time he'd pull Nodi along in it while Jenavive and Sebastian sat back somewhere unseen pretending they didn't know either of them.

Few years later Germany decided they got bored and Adolf Hitler started WWII.

This time was different, Nodi and Jenavive didn't make people feel better, they didn't invite people for dinner, they began to be more careful because this war was meant for something far worse than just war. They were lucky they lived in England, the war wasn't as bad there as it was in France, Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands.

People were taken from their homes, away from family and friends, away to concentration camps where many wouldn't see their homes for years, or worse, they'd die in the concentration camps to the cause of horrible sickness or gassing.

Gypsies, gays, Jews, everyone who Adolf Hitler found trash and dirt, they were all locked up to die.

Lucifer and Sebastian were send to the frontlines in Belgium, they followed orders and did what they were asked. Ofcourse Lucifer wasn't called Lucifer, he called himself Lucy, told his fellow soldiers his mother was expecting a girl, and didn't plan on changing the name after she found out it was a son

Sebastian was the kind of soldier other soldiers would go to for advice, he'd help them with letters they wanted to write to loved ones. Sebastian gave them courage.

Lucifer…was the exact opposite, he'd prank the soldiers in a way he scared them half to death, he loosened the tense mood which was around since the war started. He tried making his fellow soldiers laugh so they'd forget about why they were where they are on that very moment. After he scared them they'd always tried to prank him back, but it never worked out as they hoped, cause instead, Lucifer would prank them as they were trying to prank him out of revenge of the prank before.

As funny as Lucifer thought he was, he'd never forget the comment one of the soldiers made after he pranked him.

He had made a skull out of clay which he made from mud and leafs, he placed it next to one of the soldiers which came around the same time as he and Sebastian did, his name was Ronald. As Ronald was sitting down on the ground he put his cigarettes next to him.

Lucifer sneaked up on him and replaced the cigarettes with the clay skull.

As soon as Ronald tried to grab his cigarettes, he grabbed the skull, he picked it up and looked at it as he became pale.

He screamed and threw it away.

Lucifer who was behind him bursted out laughing, Ronald looked over his shoulder and sighed 'Damned Lucy! You again! You know, you'd do a great job as a devil I'm sure of that! You're probably even worse than just a devil' Ronald said as he grinned and lighted a cigarette.

Sebastian grinned and looked at Lucifer. Lucifer started laughing again as he sat down next to Ronald 'Don't be crazy! I'm a super innocent guy, I'm sure I'm way too soft for Satan to let me into that place you call hell'.

Ronald looked at him 'That place? You mean you don't call it hell?'.

Lucifer grinned 'Nah, I call it home' He said and winked.

Ronald blinked a few times, he chuckled and sighed while shaking his head.

Lucifer smirked and walked to Sebastian 'At least I didn't lie this time' he said with a big smirk on his face.

Sebastian looked at him and patted his head 'Good boy' he said chuckling as he continued with what he was doing.

For Sebastian and Lucifer the war would end fast, because to them 5 years feels like just a blink of an eye.
As soon as they could say "welcome to hell" they were home again.

War was over and people started to enjoy their freedom, this is when Sebastian started to love the human life more than anything else, Jenavive changed her clothing to fit in with the other woman, and she'd always drag Sebastian along to café's and bars to eat all the new shipped in foods from all over the globe.

After Sebastian's kids had grown up enough they were allowed to come to the mansion too, they still weren't allowed to leave on their own because their minds hadn't developed into an adult state yet. Because demons live "faster" it takes years and years before their mind has reached the same age as their bodies seem to be, and even that doesn't mean they are adult, to be a demon adult you have to have patience and knowledge about yourself and your surroundings.

And none of their kids was already this far. Nero, Alexis and Tash had to follow their parents and learn as they did.

Of course they tried keeping it fun for them, as soon as disco came up, they let them join Nodi an Lucifer to clubs and roller disco, of course Lucifer isn't the best person to show you how to be adult, cause Sebastian wasn't sure Lucifer had even reached that state yet.

But atleast they had someone to learn from and have fun with at the same time.
the 20th century brought a lot of new things, first the TV came into the market, something even Lucifer didn't understand, after that computers, internet, CD's and in the late 90's google had started up, although it was still small and people didn't really know about it until 2005 when it joined in with NASA.

Sebastian had become impressed by humanity, they had managed to create electricity, machines, planes and they had even managed to set foot on the moon.

He could now confirm that the thing he had told Claude centuries ago when he was still in Japan, was true, humanity did become smarter, they had invented great and almost impossible things, things humanity could only dream of centuries ago. Those things had become reality.

And now those things just seemed like trophy's for men, but later Sebastian would notice, these things could save lives, and even…create lives, bring back lives, and all those things, would make it only harder for demons to do their jobs and easier for Angels to manipulate those in society who still believe in a greater power. But now "The greater power" didn't just mean god, it meant many things now, Lucifer noticed he got more attention, he got more followers, more people believed he'd bring them to safety instead of bring them down to a pit of fire, just to see them rot to death after death had already come.

He noticed this when Metal music was making a rise, in a lot of songs Lucifer, or Satan got praised for their actions, or sons about how people should fear them and hell along with it.

Lucifer noticed this and asked Sebastian to come along with him to one of those concerts.

And as he stood there shouting his name along with hundreds of people around him. He smiled brightly.

Sebastian noticed and grinned.

'Hey Lucy!...You're popular!'.
