Chapter 3
The road to damnation was paved with bricks of good intentions. That saying always resonated with Lucifer more so than any other he had heard in his long life. He idly played with the half finished rubber duck in his hands, he was trying to figure out how to make it breath fire without melting. It wasn't enough of a distraction to keep him from slipping into more depressed thoughts, how did everything go so wrong? He set the duck down looking out the large window cheek resting on his closed fist, trying to find an answer to this question.
In the beginning he had been a dreamer. He had thoughts so bright and vibrant they rivaled the sun and stars, ideas of the different things he wished to create filled his mind. So much so it wasn't a shock he couldn't maintain his lesser form, oftentimes switching to his true one, whose power was far greater than his siblings. When like this he would speak in the old tongue one which his siblings no longer took part in as it was seen as savage and beastly. They had grown and changed to the point that they no longer cared for the old ways to mature and civilized for it. Now imagine your little brother, your fathers favorite who was gifted with such great power that they could not compare was always rubbing it in your face. That was not what Lucifer was doing but it's how they saw it.
He didn't mean to make his siblings feel this way, he just wanted to create. He wanted to follow in their fathers footsteps. His ideas were a little out there but maybe that's what the universe needed someone to shake it up with something new and exciting. Lucifer knew that if they just gave him a chance to explain, would stop and listen to him for once instead of treating him like a blight on their perfect lives he could get them to understand.
See as he was now King of hell that never happened. Never allowed in the inner circle, always standing on the outside looking in, having to listen to his siblings say horrible things behind his back. His lesser siblings never did that to him, as much as they looked up to him and cared for him, his power made them nervous and found him hard to approach because of his ranking in heaven. It was a lonely existence to have. He never asked to be fathers favorite, didn't ask to be more powerful, more beautiful, more loved than his brothers and sisters. Father had made him this way, so how could something so out of his controle be his fault?
He just wanted to create, to build and sculpt and give life. To share that dream with his family.
For a while he tried to act more normal if that was the right word to use, and tried to act more like the others. Stopped talking about his ideas and the crazy dreams he had about changs he wished to make to the world. He grew silent and distant. His lesser siblings tried to make him feel better in their own way "Did you make something new today?" "Show us Luci please?" but after some time they stopped. He was unhappy, depression set in and he lost his dreamer spark simply taking each day as it came. He knew he loved his brothers and sisters so much he didn't know it at the time but he would come to find out that they hated him. Before hate was even a thing they hated him.
Did they know what was going to happen? Is that why they hated him so much? Before being cast out he knew something was wrong, the father had shut himself away and didn't see his children much. He seemed worried and stressed. What did the man who literally created everything have to be stressed about? With a snap of his fingers he could stop anything so what was it that caused him such distress. Lucifer never found out.
But when the almighty finally appeared it was with the creation of a place he called Eden, as wonderful as it was Lucifer didn't think it warranted such a state his father was in. His father filled it with different animals and it was here that the blond angel spent most of his days, he loved exploring the endless forest, soaking his feet in the streams. Different flowers and fruits so much to see and learn and because of this that small spark began to ignite once more. Don't get him wrong Eden wasn't perfect the animal didn't come near him they kept a safe distance nervous about the winged creature that invaded their home. He was fine with this; he would win them over eventually.
It was with the creation of a new animal that brought Lucifer's carefree days to an abrupt stop, the big brown one with white spots running down its back. He was enjoying his favorite pastime of sitting next to one of the many springs, this one was on the colder side but had the best shade Edan had to offer. It was when he was lost in thought thinking of some type of creature he wanted to make that would float on the water that it happened. Something smashed into his back knocking him into the icy waters, at first he thought it was one of his siblings being mean but when he took to the sky turning and ready to give them a piece of his mind he found that not to be the case. Before him stood in what could only be called a cocky manager, some kind of four legged beast with a pair of twisting antlers uptop its head. It made a loud noise at him before hopping off back into the forest hidden among the shadows where the blond could not see it.
Lucifer found himself with a big thorn in his side, every time he came to Eden then stupid brown creature would be waiting. He got knocked into rivers, springs, mud, thorn bushes; he once left a book unattended for a few moments only to return with the pages torn out and large hoof prints left in the dirt as the only clue of who had been responsible.
At first he had been hurt by this not physically but emotionally. This creature was trying to force him out as well, not wanted here, not wanted felt depressed again his little slice of happiness he had found within Eden ruined by some crazy animal that had nothing better to do but fuck with him. So one day when the beast charged him and actually managed to hurt him leaving a small gash on his right cheek he lost control taking on his true form towering over the little brown monster ready to give out divine punishment for its actions. But instead of being scared the creature looked almost amused. It charged him once more and the angel waited. He wanted the stupid thing to see how fruitless such an attack would be. But then it stopped an inch from him and just stood there waiting for something. Lucifer shifted back and stared at the beast nealy nose to nose with it wings flapping lazyly to get him the height he needed to do some.
"GROSS" he cried. The things had licked him from his chin to his cut cheek even his eye ball going into his hair and making it stand wild.
He scrubbed his face with the sleeve of his robe, glaring at the creature who simply made a chitter that sounded happy, turned with a flick of its tail and took off back into the forest as it always had.
This was Lucifer's first friend. He would spend hours and hours in Eden playing with the animal they would chase each other through the trees and grassy fields and when they grew tired he would settle down by the same spring he had been knocked into that day and his friend would rest it's large head on his lap and he would stroke it's head and talk for hours about his ideas his dreams for the world.
He was happy.
But that would all change when one day he could not find his friend he thought he was hiding playing a game but as dawn began to turn to dusk the angel found this not to be the case, deep within Eden he found them. His brother Micheal standing with sword drawn fire sizzling and crackling as it burned away the blood that stained it. At his brothers feet was the unmistakable brown body
"It was rabied I saw it kept trying to attack you, don't give me that look" his friend was gone, erased in a flash of fire before his brother took off into the sky. The blood remained soaking deep into the earth red and gold, together. He didn't know it at the time, would come to forget but this was the very spot where the apple tree would grow…
He didn't come to Eden again after that. Once more falling into depression and solitude, he took his siblings abuse with quiet acceptance, he was alone. Maybe this isolation was all part of the plan to stop him from giving free will to the world, to snuff out his spark. True he had once more fallen into old habits thanks to his friend but he was calmer about it, less wild and excitable, just having someone to listen and understand was enough for him. Or maybe he was looking at it wrong, maybe giving free will was the plan all along. But that wouldn't make since Adam and Lilith had yet to be created so who was he supposed to be giving free will to?
When he got manic like this so deep in his depression that not even his precious ducks could distract him he started to think crazy thoughts and tried to make sense of it all. But he was too deep now chasing the white rabbit of his chaotic thoughts, he stood and began to pace the room.
" Let's say that giving free will was part of some big divine father sized plan" he spoke aloud to himself.
"Was me being cast out part of it as well?"
"Why was I cast out? Why couldn't father just snap his fingers and undo what I did? Was it because he couldn't? Or because he didn't want to? Shit this is making no sense" his head hurt and he was spiraling.
If evil had been released and his father could not undo it, heaven couldn't have that type of thing contaimenting it so it would have to go someplace else.
" Why even make evil to begin with?" he questioned. Why not just throw it into the void that waited below… he froze in his pacing looking out the windows with dull eyes. Because nothing could keep it here, nothing powerful enough besides say an Archangel… No NO NO that was crazy to think. But it made so much since, no one would willingly volunteer to be thrown into the void to be chained to it for eternity never again to see heaven. Had that been what all those secret meetings were about? Did his brothers and sisters plot against him? Hate him so much that they set him up to fall. If lil Luci wanted to create so badly then give him a blank canvas to do so and when he was done they would stuff it full over sinners and evil and everything that was ugly. And wouldn't that just be what daddy's favorite deserved.
If that's what they wanted it's what they got. When they first fell it had only been the two of them alone and stranded on a small chunk of rock floating in the void of nothingness. It was only through his blood sweat, tears and Lilith's unwavering support that he pulled the land back together. It was him who called forth waters to flow through the rivers and fill the black sea. He had tried to recreate Eden in his own way but no matter how much he tried hell twisted it into something more dark and sinister. It didn't take long before he realized that he and Lilith weren't as alone as they thought when everything was done the original hell-borns appeared, coming out of caves and from jnder rocks that they hid in. It was them that first called the pair King and Queen and with the help of the hellborns they built the foundation of the castle and the emptiness began to fill more and more.
He was happy.
Then the first sinner arrived with proof of what his gift to mankind had created. Another one and another one and the tension between sinner and hellborn rose and even as he tried Lucifer couldn't stop what was going to happen and war broke out and so many died. When they came for his family he erased them over and over until his once white wings became stained and no matter how he tried would not wash clean. When everything came to a head six bright lights shined in the sky falling to hell at the castle gates, his brothers and sisters that had looked up to him laid in a pile at his feet. He was overcome with such grief that his little siblings had fallen saddened at the sight of them, the feeling was not muteral as the six rushed to him with happiness. He didn't recognize them at first. The fall had changed them in such a way he didn't know who was who until they started to talk and their voices brought a name to their faces.
"Fuck them cucks" the green worm one snarled.
"Luci!" the one that looked like a flaming rooster cried running over and hugging the short king for all he was worth. They had protested him being cast out and in some crazy attempt to open a portal to hell to bring him back got caught and casted down with him.
Time passed as he got his family used to their new home, he realized that the more sinners that attrived the stronger the six got forms changing more until they stopped growing towering over him power radiating from them. He decided he would call them the sins, lust, greed, wrath, sloth, envy, gluttony and he would be pride. He created for them rings to rule and call their own ignited their own spark to create, seperate from the pride ring that would house the sinners he had them take the hellborns with them for safety. In this time Lillith had been busy herself using the power of her voice she had calmed the sinners and rallied them together, when he looked around hell he was disgusted and hated the sinners that had taken his gift and twisted it into something ugly. When Lillith looked around she saw only opportunity, the chance to seek revenge on heaven to get back what was taken from them… or more like her.
From the start all beings had been Masters himself and Lillith and Adam all his brothers and sisters all masters there was never need for anything else.
Something that had worked since the creation of time itself could not be sustained any longer, at least he could say that the birth of the sub class wasn't 100% his fault. Adam wanted Lillith to bow and follow his orders and do what he said. This was not going to happen. A master bowed to no one and the two fought tooth and nail. Guess his father didn't see that coming. When Lillith ran away and Lucifer found her drawn in by her beauty, strong spirit and fire to fight against destiny he was a goner before his first hello. The end result of this was Eve the first slave. He had thought she was cute, a very nice girl, not even she wanted to be stuck with Adams rude ass. If he was paying more attention and not laughing at Adam he would have seen when it happened, Lillith couldn't take her eyes off Eve the little slave had triggered his future wife. A seed was planted that day in Lilliths mind, one that would grow and drive her, that slave was hers.
When the uprising failed and a deal was needed to be struck to protect the hellborns and his family Lillith became different. Her dynamic of Master clashed with his own, he himself was not triggered so it was easy at first to give everything to her, but she kept pushing the deal being struck made her instinct harsher she one some primal level blamed him for everything. He would rather sit there and do nothing instead of helping her get back that which was rightfully hers. Her other half left to suffer at the hands of that fucking idiot up in heaven and he could not nothing about it because he made that deal instead of fighting with her.
The first thousand years had been rough but soon everything calmed down and the pair was able to fall back into the roles of loving husband and wife. 200 years ago they even decided to have a child together Lucifer agreed to yield for Lilith let her be the dominant in their relationship for the honor of breathing life back into her dead womb and the birth of their Chalire followed soon after.
He was happy.
Remember those work arounds to be triggered, well when Lucifer overheard Lillith talked about how with Charlie by her side they could storm the gates of heaven and finally get revenge for everything that had happened. The king lost it and put hands on her for the first time. He didn't hit her but pinned her to the ground aura stretching out so far and wide that every soul in hell fell to their knees all the way down to the bottom rings.
"YOU WILL NOT" he had screamed.
How a dominant can control a submissive is broken into 3 categories: commands at the lowest level they can either be followed or disobeyed. An order which had to be actively fought against to disobey and finally a law that could not be refused disobeyed or fought against. It was law after all.
"You will not use our daughter for your plans" he had passed a Law on Lillith, something thought to be impossible for a master to do to another but he was more powerful than her and she could not refuse. This action caused Lillith to take Charlie and pull away from him, she couldn't even look at him after that, he begged for forgiveness he didn't mean to. He had been so upset but she didn't care and wouldn't listen. He was casted out all over again, forced to stand on the outside looking in with little interaction with his daughter and wife. He was alone.
The only thing that pulled him from his spiraling was the sound of his phone ringing, he picked it up, looked at the caller ID and froze.
"Oh shit" he ran around panicked after that what was he going to say his daughter was callin, calling him and he had to answer because if he didn't she would never call again and he had to think of the perfect things to say and..
" Hey bitch" that was not what he meant to say, he hit himself on the forhead. Fuck his life.
