Hey y'all. New drabble time. I liked writing this one, it was fun. Plus, it's no secret that Pride is one of my more favorite characters, and it's a lot easier for me to write him because I've had practice. Well, hope you all like it, and please review.

To Please the Devil Himself

"Yes Father."

Those words swarmed around the child like homunculus' head as he made his way back to the underground sanctum where the human sacrifices were sure to be by now. The promised day was upon them, and even if things weren't going exactly as expected, it was nothing that could possibly foil their plans.

Those two, simple words were the answer to any command or request the powerful being had ever given him during his entire life. Over four hundred years of servitude, and it was about to pay off. He was practically giddy, or at least, he would be as soon as they tied up a few loose ends. They still needed that final sacrifice, as far as he knew at least, and he had to get back quickly to make sure nothing went wrong with their plan.

That's what he told himself, at least. In a strange moment of internal thought, he stopped for a second in his rush back. Perhaps it had not been the best idea to talk to Alphonse Elric about mother. It really didn't matter though, Father came first. As soon as the solar eclipse was complete, he'd never see that odd woman again, and that was… fine. If it pleased Father, then it was fine.

Starting off again, the ancient sin sorted through the thoughts in his head. Father had been the one to create him, and as such, it was his duty to carry though with his plans. Father needed him to carry though with his plans. He was the first homunculus, the most important. They wouldn't be able to get everything done if he didn't do exactly what Father instructed of him. The lesser sins could die and try to rebel and whatever other foolishness they occupied themselves with, but as long as he stood by the one who created them all, they had to win. There wasn't any other option.

And… and once the promised day was complete, and Father had become a god… when the entire world he'd known for his long life was destroyed beyond recognition and recreated anew then… Father would have time for him. There would be no more ultimate goal to work towards, and Father would be happy. He'd be happy with him, because he'd been the one who'd given everything to make it happen. He'd even sacrifice his pride, the core of his being, if it came down to it. It wouldn't though, so he didn't need to worry.

The child, because that's all he truly was on the inside, began to quicken his pace. The promised day was upon them, and he needed to get by Father's side by the time the solar eclipse started.

He wanted to be there to see Father truly happy for the first time in his long, long life. He'd give up Mother, his pride, his life to see that happen, and now that the day was finally there, he wasn't going to miss it.
