Lucifer “Me? I don’t understand...How is this all my fault?And when did Rick die? Last time I saw him he was pretty much alive!” He stared back at me, completely confused, the sounds of our brothers fighting still present in the background.I loudly exhaled, briefly closing my eyes and though he was already irritating me to no end, I decided to at least enlighten him about that situation,“Well, this douchebag,” I pointed straight towards Gabriel -who by the way was already covered in bruises, barely healing in between Azrael’s violent kicks- before I carried on with my explanation,“said something that triggered Rick’s rage. And Rick being Rick like always, simply punched Azrael, resulting in his own death. But thankfully, your miracle child brought him back to life. End of story. Happy now?” I placed my hands on my hips, watching him simply staring at me wide-eyed for just a few moments.“Wait, what? She brought him back? My Seline brought him back?” He incredulously shouted, obvi

Lucifer My breath suddenly stopped in my throat, feeling like my very essence was being squeezed out of me as I stared wide-eyed at the horror scene unfolding right in front of my eyes.Large amounts of blood trailed down her bare legs, dripping on the lush green grass, also staining Aleya’s pure white robe and after only a few choking sounds, her lifeless body fell down on the ground with a dull thud, Rick’s desperate screams filling the gravely silent air.“Noooo!”My body slowly slumped down against the thick tree trunk, blinking a few times, finally free from Aleya’s compulsion yet still unable to register what just happened.No...she can’t be gone...I took a glance at my brothers, noticing how Michael simply fell on his knees in defeat, blankly staring at his child’s lifeless body, his eyes becoming glassy with unshed tears while Gabriel sat against the nearest tree, mirroring my position, also too shocked to do anything at all.“No, please be ok! Please don’t leave me! Please,

Warmly smiling down at me, his warm and bulky arms gingerly wrapped around me as he whispered,“Come on, child. Let’s go save the world.”And with a single whoosh we were already darting towards the crimson sky, the cool breeze touching the bare areas of my skin making me involuntarily snuggle deeper in my creator’s warm chest, at the same time feeling that awfully familiar sensation creeping up inside me, remembering that young woman’s figure.“What was my mother’s full name?” I suddenly found myself asking, those two specific words sounding so foreign in my ears as I said them out loud for the first time since I’ve found out about my true origins, consciously avoiding his gaze as I did so.“Natalie Pierce.”The stench of blood, combined with putrid and burning flesh wafted through the air, my eyes attentively following the trail of crimson and bodies as we smoothly glided through the air, my arms wrapping tighter around my father’s neck, struggling to keep the bile rising in my thro

“That was...”“Fate. She’s the archangel of fate,” My father quickly answered from right behind me as I entered the front door of our house.Fate...My mind whispered, watching my brother walk right ahead of me as he strode right towards the grand living room, instantly remembering Aleya’s words,“...you brought him back.You sentenced him to an endless life.Because of you, he will never pass through the Guarded Kingdom’s gates; hence, he will never see his parents again.”A heavy pang of guilt settled inside my chest, my legs moving faster on their own accord right towards him and before he could pour himself a drink from the mini-bar my hand clutched onto his arm, momentarily stopping his every action, our eyes instantly meeting and with a small and strained voice I whispered,“I’m sorry...”“I’m so sorry...” My voice raised a little bit, blinking back the small tears already prickling at the corners of my eyes, watching him stare at me for a couple of moments in complete silence b
