Chuck opened her eyes and the first thing he saw was a young woman, who was crying.
Chuck moved closer to the woman.
"What is wrong?" He asked. That was a very rare act of kindness from him. But Chuck sensed a burning anger in the woman that could be very useful in his conquest of the universe.
The woman looked up.
"What do you want?" she asked spitefully. Tears were still flowing out of her eyes.
"I just want to know what's wrong." Chuck replied.
"Nothing." the woman retorted.
"I know you're lying."
The woman now looked slightly afraid.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Chuck."
She calmed down a bit.
"Oh, my name is Hecate."
"So, back to my original question," Chuck continued "What's wrong?"
"Well," Hecate said "You see, I love an angel. But he does not love me back. Instead he loves another woman. And she is more beautiful than I. And kinder, too. She is a goddess."
"What is the name of the angel you love, and what is the name of this goddess." Chuck inquired.
"His name is Lucifer and her name is Hestia."
"Hmmmm... Lucifer."
Lucifer was Chuck's prize angel. His favorite son. His shining star. How it burned Chuck that his sister's goddesses dared mate with his precious angel creations. Their children were the seeds of this new creature that it had been his fault in the creation of. The Yokai.
Lucifer and Hestia. They sounded the perfect match. But if she could use this mortal, another one of his own creation, fill her with power, corrupt the angel, and teach humanity the ways of the power she would call magic, then she could bring down the wretched Silver Millennium on it's head.
Every Yokai would die. His sister would come crawling back.
"Hecate," Chuck said, "I can help you win the heart of Lucifer. I can make something better than a goddess. I can make you a witch-goddess. You can be the ruler of this planet and of the moon. You just have to help me..."
"How?" Hecate asked nervously.
"Just do as I say, Hecate. Follow my every instruction."
Hecate thought about it for a moment. She wasn't sure what Chuck was up to. But her love for Lucifer was stronger than any feeling of uncertainity she had. And Chuck had such a hypnotic and persuasive voice.
"Okay... I'll do as you say, Chuck." Hecate responded.
"That was a very wise choice, Hecate. A very wise choice."

It was a lovely Summer's day in the Heavens. But that didn't actually matter because Lucifer was currently The Sad Rocky Black Vaguely Spherical Lump that apparently qualified as a planet. Crawling with ape like beings known as humans. Otherwise known as, Earth.
"Man, this planet is completely horrible!" he shouted. "Maybe that's why I was exiled here."
"Exiled?" a voice whispered.
Lucifer turned around to see a young woman in a dress similar to those of the Royal Court, except for the fact the color was black and gold. She had extremely pale skin, with violet eyes and black hair that curled down her back.
"Who the heck are you?" Lucifer barked at the woman.
"Oh, I'm Hecate, the witch-goddess. What's your name?"
"Lucifer."
"How interesting." she mumbled "What did you do to get sent here?"
"Well, I refused to love humans more than my father."
"Hmmmm... makes sense." Hecate responded, neglecting to mention that she used to be human.
"Now I need help to wage war on the Heavens." Lucifer clenched his fist.
"You should use the humans," Hecate said. "I have given them the power of magic. We can harness it to destroy the Heavens."
"I hate the humans..." Lucifer said. "But it would really stick it to Father if his favorite apes rose up and destroyed Heaven, with powers!"
He drew her into a passionate kiss.
Hecate smiled. "Now all that's left is for you to meet Chuck. He'll make you even more powerful."
Chuck appeared in a cloud of silver light. "Hello my precious little son. Give me your arm and I will bless you with all of my power."
"Father?!" Lucifer was shocked. "I don't understand! Why are you here?"
"We are going to teach your Aunt Amara a lesson."
Chuck took Lucifer's arm and onto it was burned a Mark, tainting the Lightbringer forever and causing him to Fall and become Heaven's enemy and Hell's champion.
