xFallen Angel+Holy Devilx
Chapter 1: Home sweet home...?
Flying through the crisp morning, I sped through the bright sky, the foliage below me as bright as an emerald in the sunlight. Despite the refreshing and bright atmosphere my thoughts were in turmoil, I was going to be late!
Normally I couldn't care less about my punctuality; I was usually on time, even early. With a deep breath, and a strong burst of speed I landed at a mirror like pond, the entrance to the Gap.
Today was the day of the Meet. All high ranking angels including the Archangels and even God himself, had to attend, if even one person was missing Hell would have advantage of the meet. With him Satan has his seven deadly sins.
Diving into the pool I saw all around me darkness, bubbles of air surrounded me each with an eerie shine. Below me I saw the light of the gate, swimming through that glowing portal I stepped foot bone-dry in the gap.
The gap was an endless darkness, creatures of light and dark housed this place. Angels are unable to enter Hell just as demons are unable to enter Heaven. The Gap is a neutral area beyond anyone's control, even Gods.
The Andras Marquesse controls this dimension, keeping the peace at every meet. Stepping through this darkness was like walking through a thick fog unable to see anything other than that near to you.
Standing behind my chair I bowed my closed right fist pressed against the palm of my left hand, God and Satan nodded, I wasn't late.
"Let's continue our conversation from last month, you expect me to believe that a whole group of my Principalities just went missing and you had nothing to do with it?"
God's voice was powerful knocking one's thoughts from your head, it over powered and resonated. Lucifer smirked, one sharp fang pressed into his bottom lip. His years of hellfire had done nothing to his looks he had the same looks as the best of us.
The only difference was his black hair long and tied back, his swirling black eyes, and his personality, "Old Man, distrust was never one of your virtues, or has that changed since I left?"
Lucifer cocked his head to the side and raised hi brows, running his tongue over the points of his teeth. "But since you think me that despicable, I guess I have to live up to such high expectations, I'll return your principalities."
His smirk widened he raised one hand resting his elbow on the table, "but on one condition," as he said one he leaned forward and ticked it off with a finger-his middle one.
If I had dared to look I'd have seen lightning snapping in gods blue gaze, "what condition is that?" he asked his voice almost calm. Almost.
"nothing much, a trifle really, since your sooooooo powerful, you don't need EVERY angel by your side" "Spit it out already!" Raphael burst out, the angel of water he was usually calm but just now he looked like a raging tempest.
Chuckling Satan simply replied, "I want an Archangel, you can choose which one of your favorite little toys you're going to give up, but TRUST me you WILL give up one."
"NEVER!" God thundered, Lucifer simply raised one brow, "really?"
"Just how long can your," here he tucked his clasped hands under his chin, and he swayed back in forth saying in a cutesy voice "oh so precious human's last without their fluffy little guardians?"
His voice got hard at the end, he leaned forward his elbows resting on the table before him.
"So what will it be, your humans or one of your Angels?" He flashed a victory smile before continuing "Not much time, Old Man. One more thing whichever Angel you send must become my bride, unlike YOU I plan to pass down MY power."
God looked furious lightning danced along his hands and sparked in his eyes, still he remained silent. With both hands in front of him Lucifer extended his index finger moving his hands back and forth as if juggling a ball between them he said simply "Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. TIME!"
"So have you made a decision, Old Man?"
I was nervous, but I knew, just KNEW God would make the right choice he would sacrifice neither and come up with some idea, I was wrong.
"Uriel, Archangel and the bringer of light to the farthest reaches of Heaven, guardian of fire. Thee whose very name means 'light of God' it is you who I send to Hell know that this is not a punishment. This is for the sake of all life. You the bringer of light and the Virtue of Humility will go down to the depths, serve me well."
I was burning, my own element rising through me; my vein's twisted and writhed with fire. I was shaking, my head bowed over my lap, my small hands clenched so hard they were bleached of color.
How could he?! I Uriel his loyal servant in all things, I who have never betrayed him, never questioned him, I who brings about the birth of the newest angels. How could he?! Throwing my head back I shrieked, a blast of fire shot into the darkness released, as my voice was.
Then I knew, taking a deep breath I looked into the eyes of two sins pride and wrath. Staring each of them down I said calmly "You caught me at a moment of weakness it won't happen again."
My eyes widened with shock as I heard laughter, not just laughter but full blown cackling, snapping my head to the source of the sound I saw Lucifer lounging in his chair arm carelessly over the back, his head thrown back.
Wiping tears of mirth from his eyes, Lucifer straightened and looked at me, with a wink he said with a grin "we'll have lots of fun, you and I will."
Standing he kicked his chair back "I think we're done here, I mean I'm sure dear old DAD is anxious to get his kids back.
Every sin followed suit standing, flocking behind him, after a few steps he turned back a puzzled expression on his face, "what are you WAITING for? An invitation? Come on!"
Standing I gave one last look at the other Archangels one by one meeting their eyes and holding it, before I finally looked God in the face "bye."
My only farewell before I walked through the portal a black vortex bursts of red light exploding throughout. I took a deep breath and saw that I was surrounded by that same water that created the bridge between the worlds. Following the Sins I was surprised to see Lucifer turning around and heading toward me.
Without saying a word he simply grabbed my wrist pulling me forward along with him flanked by the Seven Deadly Sins, it was so surreal. Jumping through the portal to Hell I wondered about what my fate was to be. When I felt my feet touch ground I looked around my mouth gaping in wonderment, THIS was Hell?
The floor was covered in a black inky colored grass, patches of bare rock peeking through. Around me were tree's made of a deep maroon crystal sprouting white flowers, all around me were white flowers. Why in all hell, would there be WHITE flowers? All my questions were quickly forgotten when, Lucifer slipped his arm around my waist.
Jumping out of his grip, I stared at him, "just WHAT do you think you're doing?"
He raised an eyebrow and replied with "touching my future wife, what do YOU think I'm doing?"
"Touching an Archangel that does NOT want to be touched!"
Chuckling he said "fine but you know that we're going to do IT, sometime right?"
"WHAT?!"
"You're to be my wife it's only natural, besides I need a Satan Jr. to take over one day when I'm old and decrepit."
"You're an immortal you don't AGE!"
Shaking his head he closed his eyes as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing, "fine let's go."
When we reached his palace I gasped, it was huge, and beautiful all around us were servants dressed up or down as it were. It was large filled with Tapestries and black tiles, all around sat pillars of black bright green snakes coiled around them.
Heading straight into the throne room he sprawled himself in his throne, as I stood there looking uncertain he offered his hand. Taking a deep breath I slid my hand into his, it was rough-callused, and warm; with a tug he yanked me toward him losing my balance I landed on my knees in front of him my body between his spread legs.
Blushing bright red I stood, listening as Satan said "looks like you're a little too eager for our wedding night!" his laughter echoed off the walls before the chorus of the other's joined him. Snaking his arm around my waist he pulled me up and even closer.
Without thinking my hand snapped back before flicking forward, there was a resounding echo, Satan put a hand to his face. A red hand print was already growing, his eyes were wide, and he stood pushing me back, his hand around my left wrist in a vise grip. I was furious something inside of me was burning, something snapped.
"Just what the Hell do you think you're doing?" he pronounced each word like a sentence, his black hair had come undone and stray hairs covered some of his face. His black eyes snapped at me. I wasn't afraid.
"Damn it Lucifer!"
"Damn ME?! DAMN ME?! I'M the LORD of HELL! I, I DAMN OTHER PEOPLE!"
"You know what Lucifer, just back OFF!"
Lucifer gave a snort "no WAY, and stop calling me Lucifer I don't go by that name anymore, Lucifer is dead"
Showing him a look of mock concern I replied "oh no, does that mean I can't call you Lulu? What about
Luci? No? Are you sure?" Straightening out my expression I smirked at him.
Lucifer snorted; in fact he began chortling his laughter ringing in my ears.
"Looks like someone has a fire burning in them, if you're like this we'll get along famously," he flashed a smile a genuine one, not a smirk or leer, a true smile.
"Meridian!"
Wrinkling my forehead in confusion I waited, and then a girl walked in more accurately a woman. She had long brown hair and eye's the color of the sky. She wore a bright red dress one stitched completely of leather with a plunging back and a slit up her upper thigh. She was a succubus.
"Yes, My Lord?"
"From here on you are to be Uriel's loyal hand maiden, get her ready for the marriage banquet, and dress her....suitably"
It turns out suitably translates into brothel whore, maybe I should inform dear Lulu the strumpet look is out? I was furious at him, at God, at-everyone. I smiled, if I'd acted like this in Heaven....I shook my head trying to dislodge the thought. Instead I looked into the full length mirror, my curly blonde hair was piled into a bun on top of my head, loose curls spilling down my back.
My full lips were painted a vivid crimson; my eyes were lined in black framed by my long brown lashes causing my golden eyes to shine even brighter. Loose curls framed my angular face giving it a gentler look. I wore a short dress barely brushing the tops of my thighs the bottom had multiple small pleats, and the top had a plunging back and neckline. Around my waist was a slim silver chain, not that the dress needed it, seeing as it was skin tight.
The back had thin ribbons zigzagging up its length; the front plunged low and tied around my neck, the black stark against my blonde hair. The only jewelry I wore was a silver chain which hung an intricate knot design framing a red jewel.
All in all, I looked like one of the succubus rumored to be in Lulu's harem, perhaps this was the point though. Degrade me and make me, an Archangel look like nothing more than one of his palace whores. I was furious still, could this be the work of the demon of wrath? Am I merely shifting the blame, or is it that Hell causes one too be more inclined toward sin?
Taking a deep breath to calm myself, I tried to take a confident step forward, and nearly feel on my face. How could women wear these things? My God, dresses were death-traps down here and these 'high-heels' were Lucifer's greatest tool! Humans made these? How could they? I sighed at least these provided some modicum of support. Ribbons laced up my calves up to my knee, steadying me somewhat.
Taking another step I put my hand on the wall for support, these shoes were going to be the death of me! Meridian breezed by on her much taller thinner heels without a problem, turning she said simply "the trick is to sashay when you walk, sway."
After nearly falling countless times I finally took Meridians advice, it was a miracle I regained my balance. When I entered the dining hall following Meridian who had walked purposely slow waiting for me I was awash with all sorts of demons. Succubus and Incubus were all around, I could point out Verdelet, Semiazas, Eurynome, Sonellion, and Deumos. Lucifer of course sat at the head of the head table, when he spotted me his eyes grew wide and he motioned me toward him.
Taking my seat to the right of him I motioned with one hand at all the frivolity and useless decorations "Why all the fuss?" "My bride has to arrive in style doesn't she?" Then I learned one more thing about this fallen prince, he was REALLY conceited, rolling my eyes I replied "just so you know there is NOTHING suitable about this dress at all."
"Really?" he raised one black brow, leaning on one hand his elbow resting on the table, he inspected me, a slow deliberate look "I think it's perfect." I felt my face flush with heat, only this time it wasn't from anger, eventually all the demons took their seats. Standing Lucian lifted his goblet raising it high in a toast "To my future wife! Uriel, Archangel of Fire."
