I managed to be able to have some down time and I wrote the next chapter, but had to wait until I got home to type it up and submit it. I got home a few hours ago, a little jet lagged, but with all of your amazing reviews, I couldn't make you wait any longer.

I am taking a huge step forward, I have kind of touched base on how everyone got over what had happened in the season final, but now we are going to start to cover the part on Lucifer's mother. The name Asherah, has already been used in another story, but I will go in a different way and when you research, that is the name that is most common. If people have a problem I can always change the name. I have done research, but not all of it is what I wanted so most of it is made up.


Later that night after Trixie had been given ice cream and dropped off at her house with the baby sitter, Lucifer took Chloe to Lux. They arrived and Lucifer called out once the elevator doors opened. "Amenadiel, you still here?"

"Yes Luci, Maze might have healed me from her hell's blade, but it takes time to recover my strength," Amenadiel had gotten up off of the couch and had just finished what he had said when he saw Chloe. "Um..."

"Yea whatever, she thinks I'm crazy, why not you too. I mean come on, we are brothers, crazy must run in our family. So do you know where Maze is? I need her help," Lucifer reached over the bar in his loft and grabbed some glasses and a bottle of scotch that he had a box of brought up earlier because most of the loft was still destroyed from when he and Amenadiel had fought. He saw the look Chloe gave him. "Five o'clock somewhere, darling."

"Why do you think that I know where she is, she is your pet," Amenadiel spat at Lucifer.

"Yes, but she does have free will and for some reason that includes shagging you, which I find so ironic. One of my few brothers who hates me the most and believes that everything I do is depravity, where it is totally acceptable that I sleep with them because I created them to do my bidding and torturing and then here you are shagging one of them and yet you still make yourself out to be better then me," Lucifer slammed the last glass that he had grabbed down on the counter so hard it shattered. Both Lucifer and Amenadiel ignored it but Chloe jumped.

"Luci, I consider myself better than you because I am. I did not do what you did to get yourself cast out, I didn't make Father's creatures fall." Amenadiel came closer, straightened himself to make him taller and looked down at Lucifer. "I realize what I have done and beg Father's forgiveness, have you?"

"Boys, we can have family squabbles later and more calmly, I can help there, but first I need to look at Lucifer's hand," She grabbed Lucifer's hand, the one that had slammed the glass down. "You cut it when you broke the glass."

Lucifer just seemed to realize that his hand is bleeding, "Oh, stupid mortality."

"Yes it is stupid," Chloe left and got a towel and rapped it around Lucifer's hand, "Why don't you have any bandages or anything?"

"Because I only get hurt by him or when you are around, I never have a need for them."

"Oh right," Chloe scoffed. "Now why do we need Maze?"

"To help me find someone," Lucifer looked her straight in the eyes, he liked having Chloe patch him up. He should get hurt around her more often he decided.

"Oh so now you are going to bring Maze into what you have going on with this Detective? How do you not see how your time here is changing you? You are mortal around her, you want to help people," Amenadiel said it like it was a bad thing, but looking it from his perspective where the Devil is helping find justice for the innocent should not be in his job category.

"What did I just say?" Chloe was getting fed up with their bickering. "Have you two always been like this."

"Yes we have, and no Amenadiel I am not helping her, this time she is helping me. Do you remember the stories about Mum?" Lucifer said pushing their fight to the back of his mind and getting down to business. "Maze is not here so maybe you can help me."

"Oh course, why?" Amenadiel seemed to forget they had even fought.

"Well if they are true then Mum will not only be looking for me she will also be looking for her seer," Lucifer had a slight smug smile having thought of it before Amenadiel. "If I can find and get to the seer first than I can make sure that Mum cannot use the seer's powers."

"What if Mother has already found the seer?" Amenadiel sat down across from Lucifer, "What then?"

"If Mum had found the seer, we would know by now. Can you sense the seer?" Lucifer leaned forward in his chair getting closer to Amenadiel. "Father gave you the power to slow time and to sense the unjudged. We have yet for Mum to use the seer's power, if she does than the seer is damned if we can keep the power from being used than she is saved. Your job will be done and we will be one step closer to doing my job."

"I will find her, give me some time," Amenadiel got up and walked into Lucifer's bedroom and closed the door.

"What is going on? What are you two talking about?" Chloe asked grabbing Lucifer's face and forcing him to give her his full attention.

"Mum has followers and she has also created a seer, one in every lifetime. When one dies another is born, on the off chance that she would escape. The seer can see what can happen in the future if Mum wins and also every person that Mum kills," Chloe was very confused, she thought that he was talking in his stupid metaphors again but for some reason after everything that had happened the other night she was not to sure.

Lucifer looked like he believed every word that he just said along with everything he had been saying about who he was the past year. For some reason she just could not bring herself to believe it even after seeing everything. He had been shot six times and survived, but when she shot him he bleed. But when she shot him he genuinely looked so surprised that it hurt and confused as to why he was bleeding. He asked her what is happening to me like he had never been hurt like that before and when he carried her out of the burning restaurant he acted like he was comfortable in the fire and upset more about the irony of 'the Devil being burned' then the pain it gave him. She couldn't deal with what her gut was telling her, she never believed in the Heaven and Hell stuff.

Chloe was in the middle of thinking over some of her things when her phone went off. Lucifer nudged her and she realized it, "Detective Decker... What?... When?... Really, wow. Yes... I'm on my way, text me the location. "A murder was just reported." Chloe explained standing up. She started to walk toward the door and realized that Lucifer had not moved. "Are you coming?"

"No, I need to find this person as fast as possible."

"Just go tell your brother to call us when he finds the person and we can head over there then, okay. You are going to want to come with me. Believe me, dispatch said that it looks kind of cultish. I'm told that we may need your knowledge I. Some area." Chloe had her arms crossed and was waiting impatiently.

"Okay fine, you have my attention," Lucifer turned to Amenadiel. "Call me as soon as you find her it's my job to get mum home so I need to deal with the seed."

"Yes, Luci, I will let you know."


When Chloe and Lucifer pulled up to the crime scene, Chloe put her hand on Lucifer's forearm to keep him from leaving the car right away, "Look Lucifer, I was told that this crime scene is really gruesome and may be like what Malcolm had done."

"Wait, your saying it is another sacrifice to me?" Lucifer's face changed, he looked angry, well not just anger, she had only seen that face a few times before. On some of the cases they had worked before, when Lucifer pushed the agent through the glass wall like it was nothing and when Father Frank had died and Lucifer pinned the Spider against the wall, lifting the man who was twice his weight off the ground but at least two feet with only one arm like a rag doll. "No, nothing like that, well I don't think so, maybe. There is no mention of you that we can find, but the scene seems cult/satanist. Just take a look to see if you know what we are dealing with. Please?"

Lucifer turned to her, "You don't need to beg detective, I will help." Lucifer got out of the car, Chloe sighed got out and ran to catch up with him. "So detective why do you want to come with me to find my mother's seer?" They still had a bit of a walk to the crime scene so Chloe decided to let him ask a few more questions before she answered any of them, "Do you want more proof that there is more in haven and earth than is dreamt of in your philosophy? Well actually hell too, but no one counts that. Or do you just want to spend more time with me?"

"Look I want to help you, we are partners, that's what we do, plus I would like to see how far this madness goes," when Chloe said the last few words she waved her hands in Lucifer's direction. "And I do hate to state this again, but I do like working with you and I want to make sure that you stay out of trouble."

"Awww the detective cares for the devil, how ... sweet," Lucifer had been smiling during his last statement, but his smile disappeared at the end when he caught sight of the crime scene. "Oh no."

"What?" Chloe asked, looking at Lucifer's horrified expression, "what is it?"

Lucifer and Chloe had walked up to the crime scene that was one of the worst Chloe had seen. There were six bodies all in different positions and mutilated. One was hung and looked almost completely flayed, the person's hands tied together above the head. The next had its arms and legs cut off at the torso, tied together and poisoned on top of the torso in the gotten off a swastika. The third was mailed to the wall upside down with its throat skit almost all the way through. The fourth looked like it was attached to some sort of a track and had cuts and burns on almost all of the body with both wrists cut deeply. The fifth was impaled on a post attached to the wall and the sixth was completely burned. There was blood everywhere, most of it was on the ground and some on the walls in shapes and it seemed like symbols or letters or some kind.

Lucifer had started at each body for a few minutes and then focused all of his attention to the ground. This was the most serious she had seen him at a crime scene, he was completely ignoring her and doing what he was supposed to do which for some reason was of putting. Chloe still could not get over how bad the bodies had been mutilated, while Lucifer did bit seen disturbed by then at all. He was now walking back and forth as if he was following some sort of imaginary line, but making sure that he did not touch any blood.

"Lucifer, what do you see?" Chloe asked after she had said his name a few times to get his attention.

Lucifer walked over to cloud and spoke softly as if he only wanted her to hear him, "You see the makings out of blood on the grounds?" Chloe nodded. "Well they are words, in my language." Chloe looked confused and Lucifer sighed and mumbled, "It would be so much easier if she believed," to himself. "Okay Chloe, the words are Enocian, the language of the angels. Part of them are words of warning and the rest are a spell of some sort, like it hasn't been finished. This has got to be the work of some of my mother's prophets. They are either trying to appease her, help her, or are trying to do something really bad, I'm not really sure yet. I will have to talk to Maze and Amenadiel. Cab I have a copy of the crime scene photos to show them? Especially of the symbols, they can help me figure this all our faster."

"Yea, I guess, because you will manage to get them one way or another." Chloe flashed down another chop and gave him the instructions to do so. When she turned back to Lucifer she found him gone and looked around for him and found him heading back to her car. She quickly finished up what she needed to do there and went after Lucifer, who was waiting for her by leaning against the side of her car with one leg stretched out over the other. "Want to head back to Liz? See how Amenadiel had done on trying to locate your mother's seer?"

"I thought you'd never ask, detective." Lucifer slid into her cat without another word.

When they arrived back at Liz they found Maze sitting on the couch next to Amenadiel in deep discussion. They seemed to stop what they were talking about when they saw Chloe.

"Oh look who is here! Maze, has Amenadiel filed you in?" Lucifer asked pouring himself and Chloe a drink. He handed her the drink, she took it and put it back on the bar.

Mass got up and walked over to Lucifer, " What is she doing here? She can't do anything to help. Plus when she I around you are vulnerable and we finally can't have that with your mother out," Maze did not have any hatred in her voice for the first time when she talked about Chloe. She was actually confused and curious. "And yes I have been filed in." Maze took Lucifer's cup took a sop and handed it back to him while Lucifer explained to Maze why Chloe was there.

"The detective is my partner, we are there for each other and have each others backs, she wants to help," Lucifer looked back at Chloe who stepped forward.

"We have also come upon a case that Lucifer believes is related to your mother," Amenadiel and Maze snapped to attention. "There was a lot at the crime scene and when it is done being processes I will have the crime scenes sent over for you two to take a look at Lucifer believe you can help him figure out what it all means."

"Speaking of my mother, Maze are you able to find the seer?"

"I have popped around and I believe that I have found the seer. I'm not sure because I was not able to go inside," Lucifer huffed a laugh at her comment which made Chloe very confused. "Yeah, yeah laugh now, but how will she handle finding out who you are. She'd never agree?" That comment sobered Lucifer instantly and put a frown on his face.

"What's wrong? Lucifer what is the matter?" Chloe asked turning to him.

"Please say she is not a nun."

"Not sure, all I know is that she is a believer and lives on the church grounds." It was now Maze's turn to laugh, "Now you can finally put it to your dad by turning one of His followers onto your side. I would have fun playing with her when you are done, oh the things I could do."

"Mazikeen! You will not speak about her like that, Mother wins if we turn her, we are on Father's side on this topic, her soul must be saved and you will not touch her!" Lucifer's voice had risen and he towered over her, his eyes burned anger, but thankfully not red.

Maze hesitantly touched his face as she drank up his anger, "Oh, how I missed this." She ran her fingers down his cheek and across his lips. "It's been to long my Lord." Maze's face kept getting closer to Lucifer's and he just kept glaring right at her. Lucifer then remembered who was all in the room right before Maze's lips touched his, when Chloe cleared her throat. Lucifer looked up from Maze, who would not have cared at all about who would see what they would do together,and he turned toward Chloe, his face instantly changing, "And there he goes." She turned around and slumped onto a nearby chair.

"Right okay, now Maze where is this church?"

Maze told them and Chloe and Lucifer left, Amenadiel and Maze both argues about how they should also goo, but Lucifer was adament about both of them not going, giving reasons for each

When Chloe pulled up to the church Lucifer got out before she had even put it in park. He walked up to it and stopped about thirty feet from the doors and just looked up. Chloe caught up and passed him thinking that for once he had waited for her, but she stopped when she realized that he wasn't following her. She turned around and looked at him while she crossed her arms, "Earth to Lucifer, you coming?"

Lucifer took a moment before he brought his gaze back down to her, Yeah, sorry." He started walking again.

Chloe wondered what had affected Lucifer, they had been in churches before, then she remembered Father Frank and how angry Lucifer had been. No wonder it must be hard going back into a church, when the last time Lucifer had been in one, someone he cared about had died in it.

It seemed like a million things went through Lucifer's head as he looked up at the church. Was this Father's way of showing him that he could never go home or that maybe this was his path home. Would he finally feel love again, once this was all done or would he then be sent back to hell and have to play his stupid part as the king of hell for his Father again. All he had wanted was free will like his Father had given to the insufferable humans, and for just wanting that, he was cast out of his home. Well that and helping Eve realize what she wanted most. He realized that Chloe had said something to him and was looking at him quizically, so he snapped out of his thoughts and followed her into the church.

When they entered the church they both realized that they had walked in on a service and from what the pastor had been saying it was almost over so he pulled Chloe into the nearby pew and waited for the service to end.

When the service ended they watched the people get up out of the pews and start greeting each other and slowly head into the other room, from what Lucifer could smell there was coffee and snacks in there, but he kept his eyes on the pastor. When they had first entered he had realized that this was not a catholic church, so he let out sign knowing that he would not have to deal with any nuns, but then the next most likely thing was that the seer had to be related to the pastor. He was not looking forward to that conversation. He was brought out of his thoughts when Chloe elbowed him and whispered, "He is talking to the last person in here, lets go and ask the father some questions when the girl leaves."

"Pastor," was all that Lucifer replied as they stood up and got into the aside.

"Excuse me?" Chloe asked, while they headed to the front of the church.

"He is a pastor, this is not a Catholic church, Catholic priests are called fathers, and only Catholics are priests the rest of the christian denominations are usually called pastors. From how the service ended and what he said, I would say that this is a Lutheran church,"Lucifer finished his exploitation as they came up to the pastor and the girl, who still had her back to them.

"Very good, young man," the pastor replied. "You know you doctrine, are you a member of a church in our synod?" The pastor reached out his hand and the detective shook it.

"Him, a church goer, I doubt it," was Chloe's response. "I'm detective Decker and this is Lucifer Morningstar." The pastor then offered his hand to Lucifer, who shook it tentatively.

"No, I do not belong to any churches, you all misunderstand who I really am and what I have done and I wouldn't call myself young. I'm older than you can possibly imagine.

The pastor did not seem to be fazed by Lucifer's name or what he had just said, "Nice to meet you, I guess we will have to talk and clear up some of those misunderstandings. So I you are not here about the service, what can I help you with?"

"Her," Lucifer said as the girl turned around and faced Chloe and Lucifer.
