This week was a bit weird. On monday was chapter posted so my plans became kind of a mess, but here is 4th chapter.

Chapter 4
"Megicula the Freak"

"You sound like you really hate her my lord..."

Understatement of the millenium little, broken Low

"Oh you can't imagine the amount of hatred I have for this obsessive, freaky, arrogant, ..." as the words kept being thrown the more anger and venom could be heard in ever increasing volume of Lucifugus's voice "INFURIATING, BITCHY, ANNOYING, TERRIBLE BEYOND ALL MEASURE PILE OF STINKING-"

"My lord, please..." Pen tried to calm his Lord down. The result was surprisingly effective as the flame of hatred started to die down.

"Yes, you're right... *sigh* I guess I should start from the beginning." Lucifugus said in a very tired tone "Many years ago, I don't remember if it was hundred or thousands, hell may have been yesterday or maybe it is yet to happen, but there was a time when my horns were the most GLORIOUS sight in all of the Underworld"

Flashback starts as Lucifugus sees his life with his amazing horns. Walking down in the shadow of Lucifero's palace. A better time without the work. Without the issues. Without fear or despair.

"Oh yes, my horns were the grandest of all. Four amazingly polished horns, not even Lucifero could match them. Truly one of the wonders of Underworld. Every Devil knew of them, every one of them stared at them in awe" His tone slowly changed, as if the memory hurt more than pleased him "... until the day I met that BITCH! She approached me one day and asked me..."

"The glory of your horns.. hehe, would you like them to be even more perfect? Oh what things I could do with them. What a wonderful pair they could be."

Before him floated a Devil. White hair and 4 horns already let him and everyone else know of her status. A rather small one, her body though was strange, like ever shifting mass of flesh that now looked like white breasts all over her body, rather obscene sight, must be result of this Devils' MANY curse experiments and it was rather hard to see pair of black hands sticking out of this body. And her legs looked more like a singular lump of white flesh. If she somehow stood on the ground she wouldn't even reached up to Lucifugus's knees, but she made up for it by flying on her mighty wings filled with all sorts of eyes. All of them showing different emotion. Some had lustful gaze, some were filled with hate, others seemed to be consumed by fear, others gave off a warm feeling of happiness and others revealed deceit. What they all had in common? They looked at him and all of them gave off infinite hunger. What were those eyes? Were they Devils consumed by her? Reflection of her psyche? Result of her experiments? Or something else entirely? Who can know besides her. A Devil with 3 red eyes staring with the same look of a hunter looking at her Prey.

But you are not scared. You do not fear this small thing. You are Lucifugus.

"I in my stupid arrogance agreed. Of course I didn't know what I was in for. But my pride blinded me. She took me to her laboratory where she prepared a curse that would make my horns the most wonderful sight in Underworld." He spoke with mocking tone. As if he every word caused him pain. "At least she led me to believe that. The room was dark, I could see nothing except for her truly horrific red eyes..."

As he stared at the swirl of Red color from her eyes on her head and wings he felt almost sick. Didn't help how she was moving all around, making it look like a small tornado of bright blood stormed into the room, ready to consume him and entire world.

"Those red eyes forever implanted in my memories. Then she casted her blasted curse. I felt something changing, something was getting weirder and weirder and for some reason I started to hear better than ever before. Then the sensation ended and Megi turn on the lights that she for some reason didn't lit up before and showed me the mirror."

"YOU LIKE? DO YOU LIKE!?"

As he looked into the mirror he saw it. Pair of his gigantic horns at the top remained unchanged, but the bottom ones...

"One of my set of horns was turned into gargantuan ears..."

Like something out of a circus. The sight was terrible. Ears long, gargantuan even. Through them he could even hear beating of his own heart and it was getting faster and faster as the hurricane of emotions became stronger.

"The amount of despair and hatred I felt at that moment did not please me. I screamed so loud I think I burst one of my new ears. Then I started choking that bitch! I RIPPED HER HORNS OFF AND SMASHED THEM INTO HER HANDS AND LEGS AND PUT HER ON A WALL! Then I asked her rather politely to reverse this abominable thing!"

It was truly satisfying. Seeing her hanging like this. Crucified for this horrible, terrible sin that she committed against you. Nothing more befitting of this vile thing.

"REVERSE THIS! NOW!" He commanded with a tone that would leave most Devils shaking on their legs and immediately fall on their knees. Too bad she was not like most Devils. And in current situation couldn't kneel.

"Ooooh, but they look so cute.. you have one of the most wondrous pair of ears AND the most wondrous pair of horns. Isn't that wonderful?" The tone she said it... lack of any fear. Only glee, satisfaction and pleasure in her own work.

"Then I started to punch her. Over and over again. Until her face stopped resembling a face and I got to her skull. Closer and closer to her Heart."

Each punch felt great. Each one packed with all of his rage and hatred. One of her eyes started to come out of her skull, most of her teeth were broken and turned to dust and he could see the shadow of her beating heart.

"Until she submitted and casted another curse..."

She said them in words of their world, but due to her lack of teeth it was illegible even for him. But he could feel change. But he could tell it was one he wouldn't like.

Present time

"Did it work?" Pen asked with anticipation and worry.

"...I don't know..." Lucifugus answered with mix of defeat and embarrassment

"What?" And it even confused Pen

"She put a curse on me that makes it impossible for me to touch or feel my ear.. HORNS!" He quickly corrected himself. "THOSE ARE HORNS!"

That's right, those are horns. Never forget that.

This outburst seemingly shook Pen as well.

"So you don't know because of that if she reversed the spell or not?" Pen tried to piece it together

"Yes..." and he succeeded

"But I can see your head lord.. I can tell.."

"Oh I know you could, but I can't tell if she didn't put another curse that alters the perception on them as well." Lucifugus stated in a far more paranoid tone than before.

"How do you know that?" This was getting stranger

"The bitch told me... called it a... "Punishment for rudeness" fucking hell" Lucifugus answered and it was easy to tell how much he didn't want to talk about it "She told me she put on a curse that also messed with people's perception. And before you say that it fixes it either way, no... not to me!"

"But maybe I could touch them. You know I will be honest with you My lord..." Pen said as he tried to reach to his... horns... ears? He couldn't really tell...

"HOW CAN I KNOW THAT!? You may be with her too! That bitch ALWAYS plans something! I KNOW IT!..." Lucifugus exploded with rage and paranoia

"...You don't wanna know my lord..." Pen stated as he started to understand

"...No. And before you ask why... Right now I'm in a state of the unknown. I don't know if my horns are normal again or if they are still those horrible ears... in this state it's a toss coin and if I get to know there is a 50/50 chance that my life is in ruins... I'd rather live in blissful ignorance..." But how long can one stay in such a state?

No. This is how it should be. If you never know then that means it possibly never changed. Only when you know it will it be set in stone. Stay like this. And there will be no pain.

"But those horns can't be tha..."

"WATCH YOUR MOUTH PEN OR I'LL MAKE SURE YOU WILL NEVER SPEAK AGAIN!" Lucifugus screamed as Pen went too far. How could he insult your horns?

"I...I'm sorry..." Pen said as he looked down away from raging inferno that was Lucifero's gaze "Maybe we should really get back to work... let's take our minds off of this... unknown..."

"Yeah." Finally a good suggestion "Where we left off..."

Lucifugus looks at his papers still left on the ground. Picked them up and put on his table. Now he starts to read them and sees...

"All work and no play makes Lucifugus a dull boy, All work and no play makes Lucifugus a dull boy, All work and no play makes Lucifugus a dull boy..." And it goes on for several pages... Several long pages. Then he remembered one of the things Pen told him quite a few times before...

"You are not dull my lord..."

It went on for a while didn't it?

"...I need a vacation..." Lucifugus exclaimed as he looked over the useless pages... so many to rewrite... so much to be done...

Well that was it for today. Next chapter should be longer. And I think it will be pretty fun. Hope you all enjoyed it. If you like it then follow it and/or add to your favorites or leave a Review. I appreciate them all.
