Purest light and eternal darkness
Chapter 2:Noble sacrifices, and a prophecy foretold
As the demonic figure took flight among the heavens, it could see the splendour of the universe without any fear of retaliation. Saturn's mighty storms danced with such ferocity and power, that the now departed Lucifer would float and watch them with awe; Jupiter's rings effortlessly played around their master's face, where they were colder then the space that surrounded them. One thought constantly rang through the evil's foul and twisted mind [this new body is so powerful!!!!!! What a fool Lucifer was, not to willingly join me....] The previously Archangel's body, grew a smile, that would only suit a psychopath, or being, that held great satisfaction at what it had done and it yet had to do.
The evil could only laugh at what it had accomplished. It howled at the irony at how the mighty "light of God" had fallen so easy, so easily beaten. It was as if the light of God could be easily overwhelmed by the darkness that had at one point, showed God true pleasure. It then remembered how God metaphorically spat at that rush of adrenaline and ecstasy, and exiled the true side of itself. The evil commanded its blood- soaked wings to work harder and faster, as in to exact its revenge much sooner. As the reborn evil grew closer to the Oni-potent's most treasured planet, the blue planet Earth, it remembered that it could only enter paradise either as an angel or mortal, which had passed beyond. The evil changed its course and began to soar higher and faster then ever thought possible, as if to try to reach the heavens at unprecedented speeds; as it grew closer, it could see the towering gold gates that protected the perfect paradise, which their awe-inspiring height and radiant shine, they acted as if they were dictators on who could enter the plain of true paradise, and who was banished to purgatory. As the demon closed in on the overwhelming gates of paradise, it changed its outward appearance to what Lucifer looked like before his drastic improvement.
The 6 crimson coloured wings slowly retracted and were replaced with 6 angelic wings, which held an ethereal glow to them. The evil laughed at the small number of angels guarding the gates, they appeared to be very anxious and worried, as if waiting for someone or thing to arrive. Judging by the weapons they held, they were expecting something powerful and very dangerous. One angel had a bastard sword, revealing some of the cool hard, angelic steel that laid inside of the crest-engraved sheath; another guardian held what appeared to be a double edged axe, as on both sides were fine pieces of craftsmanship, as each blade was so finely sharpened, they appeared to cut through the air itself. The leader, an Archangel held a two- pronged spear. Longinus. The spear was well known and was believed to be even more powerful then Lucifer's long sword, the light bringer; the spears power was almost limitless and was unsurpassable in speed. Longinus was a crimson colour, as if the weapon had been painted with the blood of its victims. The helix spear was the only known weapon that could destroy an angel's body, though the spirit would sill live on. The angel, who wielded the powerful Longinus, held a arrogant and self obsessed aurora, as she held her chin high above the others and marched in such an unheard of manner, that it greatly appealed to the evil as a sign that not all angels were perfect soldiers or well disciplined. This certain guardian of justice and truth thought she was superior to her brethren in every facet conceived possible, though not every angel, or Archangel is permitted by the all- mighty to wield the ultimate weapon; even Lucifer had only ever remembered using it once. The power Lucifer had felt inside of the lance when he had sparred with it was unnatural, the power seemed....alive; it was warm to the touch, and yet at the same time menacing. It reminded Lucifer that the lance was created for only one thing. Destruction. [Looks like I get to have a bit of fun before I kill the all-mighty after all, or even better, cause my brother even greater suffering] With this thought, the evil grew a wicked smile, as it realised how to make the upcoming and decisive battle an easy and flawless win. It laughed that its internal joke, on how easy Lucifer had fallen to the evil within himself.....
Flashback
The next few moments in the universe were quiet, as not a single breathe or sound was unleashed. Then as if all at once, a demonic wind howled through the universe, making all that felt it shiver with fear and lost hope. While the combatants were encased in the apocalyptic hurricane, a loud, agonizing cry resounded throughout the cosmos. This cry came from the heart of the howling winds and predatory lighting, though this was no normal cry of pain and loss, but the cry of a soul being shattered, and a fallen Archangel dying...
As she poured her essence, her life force, her very being into Lucifer's once pure and angelic body, through the impurity of broken flesh, the foul hurricane's strength grew immensely as did her power. [Not long now, just a little bit longer Archangel, then I will show you the true joys of the cosmos]. She found with every passing second, she felt even more strength and control then she ever did before as she drew this new-found strength from within the guardian of kindness and good. The lighting and mighty winds, appeared to be dancing, as if celebrating a flawless victory..........
With her essence inside of him, She knew that he wouldn't last long against her methods and advances. The moment she had done the evil and tragic deed, her body fell on to the ground, as if struck by the lighting that so eagerly bent to her will. Not soon after her body fell, the angelic form of Lucifer fell to the ground.
[Lucifer...] it began as a whisper inside his mind. Lucifer quickly got up off the blood-scarred floor from where he laid and checked the surroundings, to find nothing, of remnants, of the ominous hurricane that he had surely felt, while he was suffering from an unforeseen attack, and his powerful foe, which he was sure who had dealt him his purgatorial state of mind and body. [Lucifer....... join me...] the voice had echoed yet again in Lucifer's now scared mind. He frantically searched for his opponent's location, in hope of finding out how she was talking to him through his mind. The angel of justice knew only one other entity that possessed such ability, and that being held dominion over all. The thought alone brought forth a new emotion in the great Archangel. The emotion, of true horror, and fear. The fear in the Archangels mind was easily ebbing away at Lucifer's sanity. The feeling only intensified when he remembered the blood he had found himself laying in when he had regained consciousness, he had not at any one moment felt his life blood leaving his body, and he knew it was his blood since he had been the only one of the two combatants to have received any sort of wound. Lucifer quickly checked his neck for any sort wound. The Archangels delicate fingers trembled over the two holes on his neck muscles.
Lucifer had prayed to his father that the blood wasn't his, and that his father realised the error in his judgment, in sending his equal into battle, and struck the evil entity down itself "error in judgement? Equal? What blasphemy is this?!?" Lucifer was shocked with what his foul tongue had said, how could he describe himself as his father's equal? {Because you are, mighty Lucifer.......} Lucifer had stop moving, paralysed by the fear and anxiety freely flowing in his immortal veins. The voice sounded like that of a gentle female human, even softer then the great Eve herself, but it appeared to have a hidden quality to it, as if daring him to learn more about her. Lucifer had heard this voice before; the voice had belonged to his foe. This thought had caused a sharp pain, to tediously crawl up and down his body. The pain felt like electricity, numbing the gentle Archangel's feet and hands, causing him to fall face first in the ground. {Lucifer...join me...we are meant to be together...... to do great things} the voice echoed through the halls of Lucifer's mind.
The pain this internal voice was causing was too great for the angel of purity to withstand. With his weakened and pain-laced voice, the Archangel unknowingly uttered his last sentence "who...are...you?" the last vision Lucifer was allowed, was the corpse of his foe, with blood-tainted fangs, and a smile so full of sadistic pleasure, that he felt his mouth cry a silent scream...
{I am you, join me, and we will create what your father truly desires} the Archangel could not move, or speak. His body only ached and scolded the pure angel's mind, as if he was on fire, and the flames, grew an insatiable hunger, feeding off his immortality. As the fallen angel's soul slowly withered and died, God felt the great evil, grow stronger by the second. The Oni-potent knew what happened to have triggered such an apocalyptic event.
The all-knowing grew weak, through his connection to the fallen angel, God felt every ounce of pain that the light of god was feeling. Every fibre of the Oni-potent's body, ached and begged for rest. God feared, for what was to come, would destroy all he had created and loved; the once all-powerful, felt his spirit waning, but refused to give in to the slumber that its body in dreadful need of, knowing full well what would happen if it slept and what happen if it didn't sleep.........
From that moment onwards, Lucifer, the angel of light and truth, was to forever see, feel and know evil's true form. Death, agony and pain would overshadow him, even after the last sun dies and the entire universe begins to fall and crumble, evil will haunt him, no matter where he went. It will forever linger with him. His curse.
The evil in Lucifer had finally won; It had achieved its goal of defeating God's greatest champion, and even better, convinced Lucifer's weak side, that evil was far superior to good, though there was a problem. All though the true angel of might had been defeated, his heart still lived on. The part of Lucifer that believed that his father was the truest depiction of kindness and light, did not die, but fell imprisoned within his own body. The evil was disappointed with itself, being able defeat body, mind and soul, but not the heart; for the heart of the angel could not become corrupt, just overpowered by its other aspects. The evil knew the only way to win was a promise, a promise of dominion over all the lower forms and angels. This was something that Lucifer could not turn down. Power and evil, corrupts all except the heart of pure souls.
A being slowly rose from the ground where it laid unmoving only moments ago. The being which now stood up, slightly hunched over, had an ethereal glow surrounding its demonic features. The entity had six dark, bat like wings coming out of its back. The wings, that belonged, to a foul and evil demon. The eyes portrayed great satisfaction and obvious pleasure at what they had just accomplished. The entity had defeated the most powerful Archangel with such ease that it was child's play.
In a final act before heading off to its final destination, the demon roes to his full height and proclaimed in a voice like thunder that made the heavens shake and God cower "I am REBORN!!!!!!!!!...I am coming for you dear brother, to rob you of your life what you care for the most, YOUR PATHEIC HUMANS!!!!
End flashback
As Lucifer approached the doorway to perfection and his former brethren, they immediately stood to attention readied all of their weapons, as if ordered to prevent from entering. The Archangel who held Longinus appeared to be shaking and was even forcing back tears, not allowing the other angels to see her azure blue eyes freely flow with tears of pain and loss. Her soft fiery hair, held such warmth and gentleness, yet portrayed such power and control; it would have scared the evil, if it didn't already know who this guardian was. This Archangel was known to all as Aggelos. Her rosy red lips looked sweet enough to eat "Lucifer.....why?" the question was barely above a whisper, her voice was trying so hard to hold back the pain and heartache she was feeling, but failed miserably. The tears were free flowing now, and the other angels could no help but watch with shock and open mouths
[You miss your lover, don't you guardian? I can give you the one thing you truly desire......power!!!!!! Join me and you will see things you could never have fathomed, and I will promise to return Lucifer, once I have deprived my brother of his existence] the voice whispered into her mind. She was now sure that, with the promise of Lucifer and power, the angel would be rallied to her side, and help her to fulfil her mission for revenge. The mere thought of the cruel irony of God dieing at the hands of his own creations, nearly drove her into a wild frenzy of screams and fits. Though, she would never give Lucifer back, not with such incredible power running through his soul and body.
At that moment, Lucifer fell on to one knee and clutched his chest, as if his was having a heart attack. The pain was beyond what humans would define as agony, as Lucifer felt heat running through his chest, trying to break out of his shell of a body. The evil in Lucifer was could not even tempt Lucifer's heart with true power, so she willed his heart to lie dormant, as in to prevent further complications. Seeing their opportunity, the guardians of the gates, launched themselves at Lucifer's fallen body. Aggelos silently cried, as she drew closer to the fallen angel, and her lover. "Please forgive me Lucifer......I love you...now and forever" the tears were too painful now, as if each drop of the salty water was acidic, as they slowly corroded away her resolve and sanity while the Longinus grew closer ever closer to his torso. Time seemed to slow down to the dark side of Lucifer, as the rival Archangel was about to impale the fallen angel with the blood-red spear, she decided to have a bit of fun and toy with Lucifer's final shred of sanity. Millimetres before the helix spear penetrated Lucifer's body, Lucifer whipped round his right hand to catch the deadly spear at the last possible second and stop the potential loss of the angelic body.
What everyone saw next was amazing, and yet at the same time, truly horrifying. When Aggelos thrust her body weight forward, in order to propel Longinus into the fallen one's body, Lucifer caught the lance as if it was nothing more then a small rock; after catching the lance, he quickly twisted the angelic weapon, in a bid to wound his opponent. He had succeeded. A loud resounding crack, and cry of pain echoed round the gates of paradise. The female Archangel, fell to the floor in blinding agony, as her right arm had been dislocated from the lighting fast speed of Longinus twisting to the right while she still held a firm grip on it. As she gazed upwards, she could see Lucifer towering over her, with Longinus in his hands, she knew she had lost to him, and she waited to be struck down.
Inside of Lucifer was a great internal war. [Lucifer, kill this bitch! She never loved you! She just used you! Kill her!] [NO! I cannot kill aggelos! I cannot kill her!] [If you do not kill her, I will!!!!!] Lucifer raised the lance as in to prepare to impale his opponent and slowly brung it down on her, but his heart was not going down without a fight. The other angels could not bear to watch their brethren fall in battle, especially to the mightiest Archangel, supposedly the one with the purest soul. Lucifer could see out of the corner of his eye, his brothers and sisters hurtling towards him at usually fast speeds for lowly angels, he quickly knocked out aggelos with the blunt side of the lance, in hopes of savouring her sweet death later. he silently laughed and prepared for a little fun, knowing what was going to happen to these poor fools.
The first angel that fell was the most fortunate, as Lucifer quickly thrusted the helix spear through the mid-section of the angel as the guardian charged towards him. Feathers shot out in every direction as the ethereal being died with a silent scream. As Lucifer slowly extracted the weapon of destruction, with the blood of immortal souls slowly running over its smooth and gentle surface. Lucifer brought the spear's double helix section to his tongue and took great pleasure in slowly licking the blood off Longinus. "YOU MONSTER!!!!!!!" the second being of light and purity last only slightly longer, as instead of charging Lucifer straight on, the angel strafed from side to side, while attempting to gain enough momentum for his two-edged sword. The attempt was futile, as Lucifer grew bored very quickly of watching the angel take his time, and violently decapitated the unwitting angel. One after another, the guardian's numbers quickly dwindled till only two were left, the next angel to fall died very slowly, as Lucifer shredded each limb from their sockets; first to come off was the celestial being's right arm. As the angel cried in purgatory, his crudely removed limb allowed angelic blood to taint the gates of God's realm, while Lucifer lifted the lifeless limb to his mouth and devoured it; muscle, skin, blood and bone were all consumed while the disheartening smirk never left the devil's lips. After the limb was consumed, the angel had already lost most of his blood, as his face was stricken with fear and horror at watching a once pure and innocent soul devour the flesh of an immortal. Lucifer discarded what was left of the appendage and smiled callously down on the one armed angel "Are we gonna finish this dance or what Guardian" Lucifer pulled Longinus into a offensive stance, waiting for the being to foolishly attack
Lucifer, done with the amusement and pleasure of terrifying his pathetic brethren, felt his laughter rise from his stomach, causing him to laugh insidiously, as he watched the guardians of the gates wrench uncontrollably with disgust, he decided on setting about killing the remaining and pathetic excuses for creation. The angel with no right arm ran for his life, hoping to live through this ordeal. The demonic angel was shocked and pleased at such a turn of events. The fallen one threw Longinus at the retreating angel. The unearthly being turned in time to feel a great presence enter his body and rob his soul of its beating heart. The fallen angel left Longinus in the angel to allow the weapon to rest in the blood of an angelic corpse, tainting the weapon to the extent where only 1 with no remorse or guilt can wield the lance. When Lucifer looked to whom the last angel was, an insane laughter rang throughout the cosmos. The evil in Lucifer would take great delight in killing this angel.
Aggelos grudgingly rose from the floor, in hopes that all this was a terrible nightmare. As she gazed towards Lucifer, her heart and soul fell. His once kind and gentle eyes, were full of evil and anger; his soft brown hair, was now rigid and caked with the blood of her fall brothers, and his wings no longer were adorned with ethereal glowing feathers of a pure and innocent soul, they were crimson, as if washed with blood; and where delicate feathers once laid, was now tight skin and bone. The cosmic winds caused the skin on Lucifer's wings to move harshly and violently. What hurt most were the lips. They once were tender lips with a hint of peach, now they had cracked with a shade of crimson, the same crimson of blood.
As Lucifer walked ever closer to Aggelos' barely conscious body, his heart was constantly at war with his body, telling it to stop. The evil within Lucifer merely acted as if Lucifer deserved this cruel and unneeded punishment. Each step Lucifer took was the ringing of Aggelos' knell; Aggelos didn't even put up a fight as Lucifer wrapped his right hand round her tender neck. As her vision started to swim, she gently stroked hic cheek with her tender fingers, and with all of her remaining strength, uttered four small words "Lucifer, I.......love....you" immediately his grip slackened and his eyes glazed over as her soft words rebounded through the corridors of Lucifer's mind. They rang in his ears over and over, as his asked himself the inevitable question "what in gods name have I done?" Lucifer grasped his head with his free hand and began to slowly sob. "Aggelos........." the voice was but a ghost of the true Lucifer, the light of god and the Archangel of power and compassion; it was as if his soul was trying to reach her from beyond the grave as it quietly echoed all around her. What terrified the sombre female, were the tears in his eyes. They were tears of pain, regret and self-loathing "Aggelos...I can not control the darkness that resides within me, I can only hold it off for so long" his voice was growing weaker with each word, his strength and will was failing and dying "you must destroy my body Aggelos, the only way to force the darkness within into eternal slumber is to kill the shell it resides in. kill me Aggelos" Lucifer cried in pain as his mind was being ripped apart [how dare you betray me you pitiful excuse of power! I can give you, all you desire] the evil hissed in his mind. It delivered a powerful attack to Lucifer's soul.
As Lucifer left go of the other Archangel, he almost simultaneously fell onto the crimson floor, preparing himself for the fight with in him. The result of this decisive match would either, prevent the apocalypse and save the cosmos, or herald its destruction and oblivion. Aggelos could only hope that her Archangel of light and love would come through the trial of the cosmos and return to her safely. Fear told her that he wasn't coming back, and that he was lost forever to the evil that had bonded its fate to Lucifer
As Lucifer slowly awoke to pain and discomfort, he was able to remember where he was and what he had set out to do. On the other side of the internal battlefield was the mirror image of the light of God, except this Lucifer held Longinus instead of the Light-bringer, and his wings were bat- like in appearance where the true Lucifer had the wings of a sacred dove. As Lucifer gazed into his mirror's eyes, he could see anger and raw power "YOU FOOL!!!!!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THIS BODY IS LOST!?!?!!?!" the evil quickly readied itself for a offensive to rapidly approach "I know what will happen you vile excuse for existence, I would gladly choose the sweet oblivion over accompanying you for the rest of eternity" "Do you truly believe that your lover can destroy this body? Do you remember what you did to Longinus? You tainted it beyond salvation, only we can wield it now!" Lucifer's face dropped as the dire truths of the situation suddenly overwhelmed him.
Aggelos could not free him of this cursed life. "This does not mean I give up yet you foul abomination! I would rather spend a lifetime on Earth with nothing more then pain and sorrow as my only companions, then spend the rest of time with you!" Lucifer allowed himself a silent chuckle as he watched his shadow's features drop "what? You think I would want to spend countless eons willingly with you? I would rather die then be with you!" the last part held such venom that Lucifer was shocked and terrified of himself "the transformation within your soul has already begun; the only way you could ever return to Gods realm is if you spent the remainder of your immortal life on Earth serving justice and protecting the weak or pathetic; either that or defeat me in battle and rob me of my existence, which I know you are not strong to do, oh light of God" the shadow added extra sarcasm to the words light of God as it remembered how their first confrontation had ended. The shadows laugh became merciless as it filled Lucifer's mind, mocking and torturing the Archangel. "I not be able to rob you of your existence, but I can force you to lie dormant oh great evil" immediately the shadow stopped laughing and glared questioningly at Lucifer "what do you intend to do fallen one? There is nothing you can do in here foolish child" "that is very true, there is nothing I can do in here" Lucifer smirked as he readied himself with his Light-bringer
[What on earth is he planning? On this plain of existence, my power is limitless. How can he force me into a dormant state?] Lucifer, seeing his chance went on the offensive and tried remove he shadow's head; the evil, anticipating this move rolled around the great ethereal being had shifted its weight forward, preparing to destroy Lucifer's mental manifestation. Lucifer's technique grew sloppy and more careless as he grew more fatigued with every swing of his long-sword, [I must hold on just a little longer......] Lucifer could feel his brow drip with precipitation as he watched his shadow smirk "I guess its time for a bit of Lucifer......" the shadow dropped the helix spear and began a vicious and one-sided immortal contest
Lucifer's slowly raised his battle-scarred body to its clumsy feet. His eyes held much pain as he began to pant heavily from the intense trials he had to endure, both mental and psychical; when the evil held control, all impure wounds he had suffered almost simultaneously closed from when they had opened. Without the evil within him having current dominion over his body, the wounds slowly reopened, leaving painful cuts and gashes all over his body, and his neck scar had started to bleed. With his lifeblood quickly leaving him, he set about attaining his goal. He walked over to the angel whose arm he had digested earlier and removed Longinus from the pool of angelic blood it laid in. The unholy weapon was incredibly heavy. Lucifer turned towards the realm of God and silently spoke "please father, give me the strength I need". The Archangel's strength and will was leaving him even more rapidly then before, he willed his right hand to raise itself and prepared for the pain to come, as he took one last look at the unnatural creation, that laid in his right hand, he saw it glow ever so slightly with a white light. "Thank you father......".
For the second time in that cosmic day, all feel silent as not a single breathe was took in or released, and all watched with worry and anxiety dancing clearly upon their faces. Moments later a cry of release and freedom was heard all over the universe. It truly was a dark day indeed, a dark day filled tragedy and pain. Aggelos hastily ran over to catch the fallen angel's body.
Moments before
Inside Lucifer's mind, the shadow was breaking every bone in the manifestation of Lucifer's body. "Why don't you put up a fight? I know you can do better then this" "for some who claims to be my father's power and knowledge, you are either very unperceptive of what is going on around you, or you are ignorant of what goes on around you, you are not unstoppable" this snide comment earned Lucifer a broken and bloody nose "once I'm done with ripping you apart Lucifer, I'm gonna treat your girlfriend like the slut she is, and once I'm done with her, I'll gut her like I did with the others" the shadow howled with pleasure and awaited for Lucifer's response; instead of seeing anger or hatred playing across the Archangel's face, it saw that accursed smirk plastered on his face that had been there since the shadow had been beating him and breaking "you will never get the chance to touch her you scum, it is over" the angel of might paused before continuing, hoping to savour every last moment "you have lost"
The shadow punched Lucifer in the gut, causing Lucifer to double over in pain, the shadow's right hand raised to shoulder height and spoke "Your last sight will be of your girlfriend being raped and murdered before your very eyes" when the shadow was done, the Longinus flew to his raised hand and rested quite comfortably, in high hope of tasting more angelic blood. The evil used its incredible power to return to the realm of the living while at the same time, be ready to kill Lucifer's inner ego. The evil used the angels of light eyes in time to see Lucifer impale himself with the Longinus. "NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! How? How could you hide what you were doing?" the shadows form collapsed onto the floor, before returning to its original from, a shapeless mass. The evil slowly left Lucifer's shell and went to the centre of Gods blue planet for rest [when I awaken Archangel, I will have my revenge on you and your lover, that much I can and will promise]
Present
"Aggelos, are you there?" the dying angel was looking all around, hoping for any sign that his love had not left his side during his first and probably last hardship. "I'm here Lucifer. You won, you......." "No, I didn't win my love, I only forced the evil to lie dormant for a time". As Lucifer closed his eyes for a breath, he saw visions of the same shadow that he fought only moments ago in the realm of the Archangel's mind; the shadow was in a valley where a vast city laid. Thousands upon thousands of lights ran through the city, acting as the lifeblood for this advanced city. The clouds above were a dark grey, as rain slowly bashed against the Earth below. The angel of kindness and love saw mass death and destruction wherever the shadow walked. Behind it were vast armies of what appeared to be weaker forms of the shadow. Each entity was more absurd and grotesque then the last; each form of corruption and mockery of nature was bigger, stronger and more agile then its predecessor; A foul and distasteful war cry left the shadow's cracked and blood soaked lips, allowing the many legions from the infernal pit to advance on the unsuspecting humans, allowing the many demons to do what they do with the weak-minded men and women.
As the vision went on, the shadow howled at the pleasure it was gaining from the soon-to-be-occurring slaughter, and then, out of nowhere a light from the heavens parted the black storm clouds that beated down mercilessly upon the vulnerable mud and clay below. The light took on the form of Lucifer as he is now, though this Lucifer looked gentler and younger then as he was now; the wings wrapped round the air majestically, causing all to feel it, have their breath taken away; the hair grew till it reached just below the shoulders, where its colour remained a constant gentle hazelnut brown. The shadow snarled, as it knew what and who the unearthly being was. The shadow spat vehemently at the floor where the light stood, "you are the last of your weak kind, Archangel I will be infamous for killing the first and last of your race, you pathetic excuse for power". The light said and did nothing, just staring down his opponent, as he was nothing more then a five-year-old, with a big toy, that wanted to show off. What were most captivating about this younger incarnation of Lucifer were the eyes. The eyes were a midnight blue shade; any who dared to look into them would fall for eternity as they held such pain, mystery, but importantly, kindness and compassion. The final part of the vision was when the young Archangel fell upon the floor; his face was lacking any of the stress lines it held earlier. The face looked content and at peace, as if released of cruel and vile shackles that had tormented him for so long. From his almost delicate and soft lips, fell three words "it...is......done". The dying Archangel unwillingly opened his eyes, as he knew he had to tell Aggelos of what he had seen in the prophetic dream. He spoke slowly, as not to forget or destroy any important detail "the evil shall awaken from its slumber, with many legions of foul beasts following its conquest for death and blood, many shall fall to the new evil, many innocent lives will be lost to this new evil" "my love, how do you............" "All will appear lost as the evil will begin its conquest in a advanced city, where the lights that constantly move, act as lifeblood for the city. Then, from the heavens above, the last of the Archangels shall descend to do combat with the shadow and his legions" Lucifer had no control what he was saying, he had realised he interrupted her but he must finish lest the cosmos fall under a dark day "do you how to prevent the deaths of the other Archangels? Lucifer? Can you hear me?" her voice was growing painfully loud and overwhelmed with emotion. "The last Archangel shall have my body and power my love, for the last Archangel appears to be a human incarnate of me. Please descend from the heavens and protect my mortal life when I am reborn Aggelos, promise m........." the angel of might did not finish his sentence, as he used all his strength to foretell the prophecy of evil, and his rebirth into mortal life. "I promise you my fallen love, I shall protect you on earth and we shall in love again, that much I have no doubt in" the remaining combatant of the tragic battle quietly sobbed over the loss of her love and guardian angel.
Death was a release for Lucifer that fateful day.

Chapter 2:Noble sacrifices, and a prophecy foretold
As the demonic figure took flight among the heavens, it could see the splendour of the universe without any fear of retaliation. Saturn's mighty storms danced with such ferocity and power, that the now departed Lucifer would float and watch them with awe; Jupiter's rings effortlessly played around their master's face, where they were colder then the space that surrounded them. One thought constantly rang through the evil's foul and twisted mind [this new body is so powerful!!!!!! What a fool Lucifer was, not to willingly join me....] The previously Archangel's body, grew a smile, that would only suit a psychopath, or being, that held great satisfaction at what it had done and it yet had to do.
The evil could only laugh at what it had accomplished. It howled at the irony at how the mighty "light of God" had fallen so easy, so easily beaten. It was as if the light of God could be easily overwhelmed by the darkness that had at one point, showed God true pleasure. It then remembered how God metaphorically spat at that rush of adrenaline and ecstasy, and exiled the true side of itself. The evil commanded its blood- soaked wings to work harder and faster, as in to exact its revenge much sooner. As the reborn evil grew closer to the Oni-potent's most treasured planet, the blue planet Earth, it remembered that it could only enter paradise either as an angel or mortal, which had passed beyond. The evil changed its course and began to soar higher and faster then ever thought possible, as if to try to reach the heavens at unprecedented speeds; as it grew closer, it could see the towering gold gates that protected the perfect paradise, which their awe-inspiring height and radiant shine, they acted as if they were dictators on who could enter the plain of true paradise, and who was banished to purgatory. As the demon closed in on the overwhelming gates of paradise, it changed its outward appearance to what Lucifer looked like before his drastic improvement.
The 6 crimson coloured wings slowly retracted and were replaced with 6 angelic wings, which held an ethereal glow to them. The evil laughed at the small number of angels guarding the gates, they appeared to be very anxious and worried, as if waiting for someone or thing to arrive. Judging by the weapons they held, they were expecting something powerful and very dangerous. One angel had a bastard sword, revealing some of the cool hard, angelic steel that laid inside of the crest-engraved sheath; another guardian held what appeared to be a double edged axe, as on both sides were fine pieces of craftsmanship, as each blade was so finely sharpened, they appeared to cut through the air itself. The leader, an Archangel held a two- pronged spear. Longinus. The spear was well known and was believed to be even more powerful then Lucifer's long sword, the light bringer; the spears power was almost limitless and was unsurpassable in speed. Longinus was a crimson colour, as if the weapon had been painted with the blood of its victims. The helix spear was the only known weapon that could destroy an angel's body, though the spirit would sill live on. The angel, who wielded the powerful Longinus, held a arrogant and self obsessed aurora, as she held her chin high above the others and marched in such an unheard of manner, that it greatly appealed to the evil as a sign that not all angels were perfect soldiers or well disciplined. This certain guardian of justice and truth thought she was superior to her brethren in every facet conceived possible, though not every angel, or Archangel is permitted by the all- mighty to wield the ultimate weapon; even Lucifer had only ever remembered using it once. The power Lucifer had felt inside of the lance when he had sparred with it was unnatural, the power seemed....alive; it was warm to the touch, and yet at the same time menacing. It reminded Lucifer that the lance was created for only one thing. Destruction. [Looks like I get to have a bit of fun before I kill the all-mighty after all, or even better, cause my brother even greater suffering] With this thought, the evil grew a wicked smile, as it realised how to make the upcoming and decisive battle an easy and flawless win. It laughed that its internal joke, on how easy Lucifer had fallen to the evil within himself.....
Flashback
The next few moments in the universe were quiet, as not a single breathe or sound was unleashed. Then as if all at once, a demonic wind howled through the universe, making all that felt it shiver with fear and lost hope. While the combatants were encased in the apocalyptic hurricane, a loud, agonizing cry resounded throughout the cosmos. This cry came from the heart of the howling winds and predatory lighting, though this was no normal cry of pain and loss, but the cry of a soul being shattered, and a fallen Archangel dying...
As she poured her essence, her life force, her very being into Lucifer's once pure and angelic body, through the impurity of broken flesh, the foul hurricane's strength grew immensely as did her power. [Not long now, just a little bit longer Archangel, then I will show you the true joys of the cosmos]. She found with every passing second, she felt even more strength and control then she ever did before as she drew this new-found strength from within the guardian of kindness and good. The lighting and mighty winds, appeared to be dancing, as if celebrating a flawless victory..........
With her essence inside of him, She knew that he wouldn't last long against her methods and advances. The moment she had done the evil and tragic deed, her body fell on to the ground, as if struck by the lighting that so eagerly bent to her will. Not soon after her body fell, the angelic form of Lucifer fell to the ground.
[Lucifer...] it began as a whisper inside his mind. Lucifer quickly got up off the blood-scarred floor from where he laid and checked the surroundings, to find nothing, of remnants, of the ominous hurricane that he had surely felt, while he was suffering from an unforeseen attack, and his powerful foe, which he was sure who had dealt him his purgatorial state of mind and body. [Lucifer....... join me...] the voice had echoed yet again in Lucifer's now scared mind. He frantically searched for his opponent's location, in hope of finding out how she was talking to him through his mind. The angel of justice knew only one other entity that possessed such ability, and that being held dominion over all. The thought alone brought forth a new emotion in the great Archangel. The emotion, of true horror, and fear. The fear in the Archangels mind was easily ebbing away at Lucifer's sanity. The feeling only intensified when he remembered the blood he had found himself laying in when he had regained consciousness, he had not at any one moment felt his life blood leaving his body, and he knew it was his blood since he had been the only one of the two combatants to have received any sort of wound. Lucifer quickly checked his neck for any sort wound. The Archangels delicate fingers trembled over the two holes on his neck muscles.
Lucifer had prayed to his father that the blood wasn't his, and that his father realised the error in his judgment, in sending his equal into battle, and struck the evil entity down itself "error in judgement? Equal? What blasphemy is this?!?" Lucifer was shocked with what his foul tongue had said, how could he describe himself as his father's equal? {Because you are, mighty Lucifer.......} Lucifer had stop moving, paralysed by the fear and anxiety freely flowing in his immortal veins. The voice sounded like that of a gentle female human, even softer then the great Eve herself, but it appeared to have a hidden quality to it, as if daring him to learn more about her. Lucifer had heard this voice before; the voice had belonged to his foe. This thought had caused a sharp pain, to tediously crawl up and down his body. The pain felt like electricity, numbing the gentle Archangel's feet and hands, causing him to fall face first in the ground. {Lucifer...join me...we are meant to be together...... to do great things} the voice echoed through the halls of Lucifer's mind.
The pain this internal voice was causing was too great for the angel of purity to withstand. With his weakened and pain-laced voice, the Archangel unknowingly uttered his last sentence "who...are...you?" the last vision Lucifer was allowed, was the corpse of his foe, with blood-tainted fangs, and a smile so full of sadistic pleasure, that he felt his mouth cry a silent scream...
{I am you, join me, and we will create what your father truly desires} the Archangel could not move, or speak. His body only ached and scolded the pure angel's mind, as if he was on fire, and the flames, grew an insatiable hunger, feeding off his immortality. As the fallen angel's soul slowly withered and died, God felt the great evil, grow stronger by the second. The Oni-potent knew what happened to have triggered such an apocalyptic event.
The all-knowing grew weak, through his connection to the fallen angel, God felt every ounce of pain that the light of god was feeling. Every fibre of the Oni-potent's body, ached and begged for rest. God feared, for what was to come, would destroy all he had created and loved; the once all-powerful, felt his spirit waning, but refused to give in to the slumber that its body in dreadful need of, knowing full well what would happen if it slept and what happen if it didn't sleep.........
From that moment onwards, Lucifer, the angel of light and truth, was to forever see, feel and know evil's true form. Death, agony and pain would overshadow him, even after the last sun dies and the entire universe begins to fall and crumble, evil will haunt him, no matter where he went. It will forever linger with him. His curse.
The evil in Lucifer had finally won; It had achieved its goal of defeating God's greatest champion, and even better, convinced Lucifer's weak side, that evil was far superior to good, though there was a problem. All though the true angel of might had been defeated, his heart still lived on. The part of Lucifer that believed that his father was the truest depiction of kindness and light, did not die, but fell imprisoned within his own body. The evil was disappointed with itself, being able defeat body, mind and soul, but not the heart; for the heart of the angel could not become corrupt, just overpowered by its other aspects. The evil knew the only way to win was a promise, a promise of dominion over all the lower forms and angels. This was something that Lucifer could not turn down. Power and evil, corrupts all except the heart of pure souls.
A being slowly rose from the ground where it laid unmoving only moments ago. The being which now stood up, slightly hunched over, had an ethereal glow surrounding its demonic features. The entity had six dark, bat like wings coming out of its back. The wings, that belonged, to a foul and evil demon. The eyes portrayed great satisfaction and obvious pleasure at what they had just accomplished. The entity had defeated the most powerful Archangel with such ease that it was child's play.
In a final act before heading off to its final destination, the demon roes to his full height and proclaimed in a voice like thunder that made the heavens shake and God cower "I am REBORN!!!!!!!!!...I am coming for you dear brother, to rob you of your life what you care for the most, YOUR PATHEIC HUMANS!!!!
End flashback
As Lucifer approached the doorway to perfection and his former brethren, they immediately stood to attention readied all of their weapons, as if ordered to prevent from entering. The Archangel who held Longinus appeared to be shaking and was even forcing back tears, not allowing the other angels to see her azure blue eyes freely flow with tears of pain and loss. Her soft fiery hair, held such warmth and gentleness, yet portrayed such power and control; it would have scared the evil, if it didn't already know who this guardian was. This Archangel was known to all as Aggelos. Her rosy red lips looked sweet enough to eat "Lucifer.....why?" the question was barely above a whisper, her voice was trying so hard to hold back the pain and heartache she was feeling, but failed miserably. The tears were free flowing now, and the other angels could no help but watch with shock and open mouths
[You miss your lover, don't you guardian? I can give you the one thing you truly desire......power!!!!!! Join me and you will see things you could never have fathomed, and I will promise to return Lucifer, once I have deprived my brother of his existence] the voice whispered into her mind. She was now sure that, with the promise of Lucifer and power, the angel would be rallied to her side, and help her to fulfil her mission for revenge. The mere thought of the cruel irony of God dieing at the hands of his own creations, nearly drove her into a wild frenzy of screams and fits. Though, she would never give Lucifer back, not with such incredible power running through his soul and body.
At that moment, Lucifer fell on to one knee and clutched his chest, as if his was having a heart attack. The pain was beyond what humans would define as agony, as Lucifer felt heat running through his chest, trying to break out of his shell of a body. The evil in Lucifer was could not even tempt Lucifer's heart with true power, so she willed his heart to lie dormant, as in to prevent further complications. Seeing their opportunity, the guardians of the gates, launched themselves at Lucifer's fallen body. Aggelos silently cried, as she drew closer to the fallen angel, and her lover. "Please forgive me Lucifer......I love you...now and forever" the tears were too painful now, as if each drop of the salty water was acidic, as they slowly corroded away her resolve and sanity while the Longinus grew closer ever closer to his torso. Time seemed to slow down to the dark side of Lucifer, as the rival Archangel was about to impale the fallen angel with the blood-red spear, she decided to have a bit of fun and toy with Lucifer's final shred of sanity. Millimetres before the helix spear penetrated Lucifer's body, Lucifer whipped round his right hand to catch the deadly spear at the last possible second and stop the potential loss of the angelic body.
What everyone saw next was amazing, and yet at the same time, truly horrifying. When Aggelos thrust her body weight forward, in order to propel Longinus into the fallen one's body, Lucifer caught the lance as if it was nothing more then a small rock; after catching the lance, he quickly twisted the angelic weapon, in a bid to wound his opponent. He had succeeded. A loud resounding crack, and cry of pain echoed round the gates of paradise. The female Archangel, fell to the floor in blinding agony, as her right arm had been dislocated from the lighting fast speed of Longinus twisting to the right while she still held a firm grip on it. As she gazed upwards, she could see Lucifer towering over her, with Longinus in his hands, she knew she had lost to him, and she waited to be struck down.
Inside of Lucifer was a great internal war. [Lucifer, kill this bitch! She never loved you! She just used you! Kill her!] [NO! I cannot kill aggelos! I cannot kill her!] [If you do not kill her, I will!!!!!] Lucifer raised the lance as in to prepare to impale his opponent and slowly brung it down on her, but his heart was not going down without a fight. The other angels could not bear to watch their brethren fall in battle, especially to the mightiest Archangel, supposedly the one with the purest soul. Lucifer could see out of the corner of his eye, his brothers and sisters hurtling towards him at usually fast speeds for lowly angels, he quickly knocked out aggelos with the blunt side of the lance, in hopes of savouring her sweet death later. he silently laughed and prepared for a little fun, knowing what was going to happen to these poor fools.
The first angel that fell was the most fortunate, as Lucifer quickly thrusted the helix spear through the mid-section of the angel as the guardian charged towards him. Feathers shot out in every direction as the ethereal being died with a silent scream. As Lucifer slowly extracted the weapon of destruction, with the blood of immortal souls slowly running over its smooth and gentle surface. Lucifer brought the spear's double helix section to his tongue and took great pleasure in slowly licking the blood off Longinus. "YOU MONSTER!!!!!!!" the second being of light and purity last only slightly longer, as instead of charging Lucifer straight on, the angel strafed from side to side, while attempting to gain enough momentum for his two-edged sword. The attempt was futile, as Lucifer grew bored very quickly of watching the angel take his time, and violently decapitated the unwitting angel. One after another, the guardian's numbers quickly dwindled till only two were left, the next angel to fall died very slowly, as Lucifer shredded each limb from their sockets; first to come off was the celestial being's right arm. As the angel cried in purgatory, his crudely removed limb allowed angelic blood to taint the gates of God's realm, while Lucifer lifted the lifeless limb to his mouth and devoured it; muscle, skin, blood and bone were all consumed while the disheartening smirk never left the devil's lips. After the limb was consumed, the angel had already lost most of his blood, as his face was stricken with fear and horror at watching a once pure and innocent soul devour the flesh of an immortal. Lucifer discarded what was left of the appendage and smiled callously down on the one armed angel "Are we gonna finish this dance or what Guardian" Lucifer pulled Longinus into a offensive stance, waiting for the being to foolishly attack
Lucifer, done with the amusement and pleasure of terrifying his pathetic brethren, felt his laughter rise from his stomach, causing him to laugh insidiously, as he watched the guardians of the gates wrench uncontrollably with disgust, he decided on setting about killing the remaining and pathetic excuses for creation. The angel with no right arm ran for his life, hoping to live through this ordeal. The demonic angel was shocked and pleased at such a turn of events. The fallen one threw Longinus at the retreating angel. The unearthly being turned in time to feel a great presence enter his body and rob his soul of its beating heart. The fallen angel left Longinus in the angel to allow the weapon to rest in the blood of an angelic corpse, tainting the weapon to the extent where only 1 with no remorse or guilt can wield the lance. When Lucifer looked to whom the last angel was, an insane laughter rang throughout the cosmos. The evil in Lucifer would take great delight in killing this angel.
Aggelos grudgingly rose from the floor, in hopes that all this was a terrible nightmare. As she gazed towards Lucifer, her heart and soul fell. His once kind and gentle eyes, were full of evil and anger; his soft brown hair, was now rigid and caked with the blood of her fall brothers, and his wings no longer were adorned with ethereal glowing feathers of a pure and innocent soul, they were crimson, as if washed with blood; and where delicate feathers once laid, was now tight skin and bone. The cosmic winds caused the skin on Lucifer's wings to move harshly and violently. What hurt most were the lips. They once were tender lips with a hint of peach, now they had cracked with a shade of crimson, the same crimson of blood.
As Lucifer walked ever closer to Aggelos' barely conscious body, his heart was constantly at war with his body, telling it to stop. The evil within Lucifer merely acted as if Lucifer deserved this cruel and unneeded punishment. Each step Lucifer took was the ringing of Aggelos' knell; Aggelos didn't even put up a fight as Lucifer wrapped his right hand round her tender neck. As her vision started to swim, she gently stroked hic cheek with her tender fingers, and with all of her remaining strength, uttered four small words "Lucifer, I.......love....you" immediately his grip slackened and his eyes glazed over as her soft words rebounded through the corridors of Lucifer's mind. They rang in his ears over and over, as his asked himself the inevitable question "what in gods name have I done?" Lucifer grasped his head with his free hand and began to slowly sob. "Aggelos........." the voice was but a ghost of the true Lucifer, the light of god and the Archangel of power and compassion; it was as if his soul was trying to reach her from beyond the grave as it quietly echoed all around her. What terrified the sombre female, were the tears in his eyes. They were tears of pain, regret and self-loathing "Aggelos...I can not control the darkness that resides within me, I can only hold it off for so long" his voice was growing weaker with each word, his strength and will was failing and dying "you must destroy my body Aggelos, the only way to force the darkness within into eternal slumber is to kill the shell it resides in. kill me Aggelos" Lucifer cried in pain as his mind was being ripped apart [how dare you betray me you pitiful excuse of power! I can give you, all you desire] the evil hissed in his mind. It delivered a powerful attack to Lucifer's soul.
As Lucifer left go of the other Archangel, he almost simultaneously fell onto the crimson floor, preparing himself for the fight with in him. The result of this decisive match would either, prevent the apocalypse and save the cosmos, or herald its destruction and oblivion. Aggelos could only hope that her Archangel of light and love would come through the trial of the cosmos and return to her safely. Fear told her that he wasn't coming back, and that he was lost forever to the evil that had bonded its fate to Lucifer
As Lucifer slowly awoke to pain and discomfort, he was able to remember where he was and what he had set out to do. On the other side of the internal battlefield was the mirror image of the light of God, except this Lucifer held Longinus instead of the Light-bringer, and his wings were bat- like in appearance where the true Lucifer had the wings of a sacred dove. As Lucifer gazed into his mirror's eyes, he could see anger and raw power "YOU FOOL!!!!!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THIS BODY IS LOST!?!?!!?!" the evil quickly readied itself for a offensive to rapidly approach "I know what will happen you vile excuse for existence, I would gladly choose the sweet oblivion over accompanying you for the rest of eternity" "Do you truly believe that your lover can destroy this body? Do you remember what you did to Longinus? You tainted it beyond salvation, only we can wield it now!" Lucifer's face dropped as the dire truths of the situation suddenly overwhelmed him.
Aggelos could not free him of this cursed life. "This does not mean I give up yet you foul abomination! I would rather spend a lifetime on Earth with nothing more then pain and sorrow as my only companions, then spend the rest of time with you!" Lucifer allowed himself a silent chuckle as he watched his shadow's features drop "what? You think I would want to spend countless eons willingly with you? I would rather die then be with you!" the last part held such venom that Lucifer was shocked and terrified of himself "the transformation within your soul has already begun; the only way you could ever return to Gods realm is if you spent the remainder of your immortal life on Earth serving justice and protecting the weak or pathetic; either that or defeat me in battle and rob me of my existence, which I know you are not strong to do, oh light of God" the shadow added extra sarcasm to the words light of God as it remembered how their first confrontation had ended. The shadows laugh became merciless as it filled Lucifer's mind, mocking and torturing the Archangel. "I not be able to rob you of your existence, but I can force you to lie dormant oh great evil" immediately the shadow stopped laughing and glared questioningly at Lucifer "what do you intend to do fallen one? There is nothing you can do in here foolish child" "that is very true, there is nothing I can do in here" Lucifer smirked as he readied himself with his Light-bringer
[What on earth is he planning? On this plain of existence, my power is limitless. How can he force me into a dormant state?] Lucifer, seeing his chance went on the offensive and tried remove he shadow's head; the evil, anticipating this move rolled around the great ethereal being had shifted its weight forward, preparing to destroy Lucifer's mental manifestation. Lucifer's technique grew sloppy and more careless as he grew more fatigued with every swing of his long-sword, [I must hold on just a little longer......] Lucifer could feel his brow drip with precipitation as he watched his shadow smirk "I guess its time for a bit of Lucifer......" the shadow dropped the helix spear and began a vicious and one-sided immortal contest
Lucifer's slowly raised his battle-scarred body to its clumsy feet. His eyes held much pain as he began to pant heavily from the intense trials he had to endure, both mental and psychical; when the evil held control, all impure wounds he had suffered almost simultaneously closed from when they had opened. Without the evil within him having current dominion over his body, the wounds slowly reopened, leaving painful cuts and gashes all over his body, and his neck scar had started to bleed. With his lifeblood quickly leaving him, he set about attaining his goal. He walked over to the angel whose arm he had digested earlier and removed Longinus from the pool of angelic blood it laid in. The unholy weapon was incredibly heavy. Lucifer turned towards the realm of God and silently spoke "please father, give me the strength I need". The Archangel's strength and will was leaving him even more rapidly then before, he willed his right hand to raise itself and prepared for the pain to come, as he took one last look at the unnatural creation, that laid in his right hand, he saw it glow ever so slightly with a white light. "Thank you father......".
For the second time in that cosmic day, all feel silent as not a single breathe was took in or released, and all watched with worry and anxiety dancing clearly upon their faces. Moments later a cry of release and freedom was heard all over the universe. It truly was a dark day indeed, a dark day filled tragedy and pain. Aggelos hastily ran over to catch the fallen angel's body.
Moments before
Inside Lucifer's mind, the shadow was breaking every bone in the manifestation of Lucifer's body. "Why don't you put up a fight? I know you can do better then this" "for some who claims to be my father's power and knowledge, you are either very unperceptive of what is going on around you, or you are ignorant of what goes on around you, you are not unstoppable" this snide comment earned Lucifer a broken and bloody nose "once I'm done with ripping you apart Lucifer, I'm gonna treat your girlfriend like the slut she is, and once I'm done with her, I'll gut her like I did with the others" the shadow howled with pleasure and awaited for Lucifer's response; instead of seeing anger or hatred playing across the Archangel's face, it saw that accursed smirk plastered on his face that had been there since the shadow had been beating him and breaking "you will never get the chance to touch her you scum, it is over" the angel of might paused before continuing, hoping to savour every last moment "you have lost"
The shadow punched Lucifer in the gut, causing Lucifer to double over in pain, the shadow's right hand raised to shoulder height and spoke "Your last sight will be of your girlfriend being raped and murdered before your very eyes" when the shadow was done, the Longinus flew to his raised hand and rested quite comfortably, in high hope of tasting more angelic blood. The evil used its incredible power to return to the realm of the living while at the same time, be ready to kill Lucifer's inner ego. The evil used the angels of light eyes in time to see Lucifer impale himself with the Longinus. "NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! How? How could you hide what you were doing?" the shadows form collapsed onto the floor, before returning to its original from, a shapeless mass. The evil slowly left Lucifer's shell and went to the centre of Gods blue planet for rest [when I awaken Archangel, I will have my revenge on you and your lover, that much I can and will promise]
Present
"Aggelos, are you there?" the dying angel was looking all around, hoping for any sign that his love had not left his side during his first and probably last hardship. "I'm here Lucifer. You won, you......." "No, I didn't win my love, I only forced the evil to lie dormant for a time". As Lucifer closed his eyes for a breath, he saw visions of the same shadow that he fought only moments ago in the realm of the Archangel's mind; the shadow was in a valley where a vast city laid. Thousands upon thousands of lights ran through the city, acting as the lifeblood for this advanced city. The clouds above were a dark grey, as rain slowly bashed against the Earth below. The angel of kindness and love saw mass death and destruction wherever the shadow walked. Behind it were vast armies of what appeared to be weaker forms of the shadow. Each entity was more absurd and grotesque then the last; each form of corruption and mockery of nature was bigger, stronger and more agile then its predecessor; A foul and distasteful war cry left the shadow's cracked and blood soaked lips, allowing the many legions from the infernal pit to advance on the unsuspecting humans, allowing the many demons to do what they do with the weak-minded men and women.
As the vision went on, the shadow howled at the pleasure it was gaining from the soon-to-be-occurring slaughter, and then, out of nowhere a light from the heavens parted the black storm clouds that beated down mercilessly upon the vulnerable mud and clay below. The light took on the form of Lucifer as he is now, though this Lucifer looked gentler and younger then as he was now; the wings wrapped round the air majestically, causing all to feel it, have their breath taken away; the hair grew till it reached just below the shoulders, where its colour remained a constant gentle hazelnut brown. The shadow snarled, as it knew what and who the unearthly being was. The shadow spat vehemently at the floor where the light stood, "you are the last of your weak kind, Archangel I will be infamous for killing the first and last of your race, you pathetic excuse for power". The light said and did nothing, just staring down his opponent, as he was nothing more then a five-year-old, with a big toy, that wanted to show off. What were most captivating about this younger incarnation of Lucifer were the eyes. The eyes were a midnight blue shade; any who dared to look into them would fall for eternity as they held such pain, mystery, but importantly, kindness and compassion. The final part of the vision was when the young Archangel fell upon the floor; his face was lacking any of the stress lines it held earlier. The face looked content and at peace, as if released of cruel and vile shackles that had tormented him for so long. From his almost delicate and soft lips, fell three words "it...is......done". The dying Archangel unwillingly opened his eyes, as he knew he had to tell Aggelos of what he had seen in the prophetic dream. He spoke slowly, as not to forget or destroy any important detail "the evil shall awaken from its slumber, with many legions of foul beasts following its conquest for death and blood, many shall fall to the new evil, many innocent lives will be lost to this new evil" "my love, how do you............" "All will appear lost as the evil will begin its conquest in a advanced city, where the lights that constantly move, act as lifeblood for the city. Then, from the heavens above, the last of the Archangels shall descend to do combat with the shadow and his legions" Lucifer had no control what he was saying, he had realised he interrupted her but he must finish lest the cosmos fall under a dark day "do you how to prevent the deaths of the other Archangels? Lucifer? Can you hear me?" her voice was growing painfully loud and overwhelmed with emotion. "The last Archangel shall have my body and power my love, for the last Archangel appears to be a human incarnate of me. Please descend from the heavens and protect my mortal life when I am reborn Aggelos, promise m........." the angel of might did not finish his sentence, as he used all his strength to foretell the prophecy of evil, and his rebirth into mortal life. "I promise you my fallen love, I shall protect you on earth and we shall in love again, that much I have no doubt in" the remaining combatant of the tragic battle quietly sobbed over the loss of her love and guardian angel.
Death was a release for Lucifer that fateful day.

I am so sorry it took so long to get out, I've had a serious case of a writers block with this chapter, and school with GCSE's doesn't exactly go easy on you either. Reviews and flames are appreciated, so long as they constructive flames. The next chapter I start from the beginning of NGE, there will be some OC but don't freight, these moments will only occur due to certain variables.
Til next time
