"I remember once how you and Satan keep telling me to stop with my habits,
Tell me that I should pursue to be more like the Lord of Wrath,
Than proceed to be a horny little rabbit.
But...I'm not like that.
I will never be like that.
My dream was not to rule the world with chains,
My dream was to be loved, and be saved from this undying pain.
I always feel like half of me have been robbed,
And all that could fix it would be true love.
Didn't you hope me to be happy?
To settle for one woman, only?
Well, I think I found someone that can't be charmed by my looks alone,
She charmed me, with her attitude, so sweet yet very strong.
She mended my wounds once,
Touching me softly as if I was made of glass.
She made sure that I am well,
So is it so wrong if then, I fell?
Hundreds and thousands of years,
Women only look at me for my face,
Didn't considered knowing how I feel,
As I sat in my room, asking why no one stayed.
Asking why at the end of the day I am loveless,
Empty, although I have power and riches.
But she, she filled that empty void in my chest,
She made me feel, that I'm more than a mess.
Belphegor, I tell you again, she is my Luna,
My darling dear, Sellena.
Please don't tell me to stop loving her,
For that cannot be helped, dear Belphegor.
I am tired of being lonely, of looking for someone to clung unto,
And now I found her, I know what to do.
I want to change, to look at her more than a flesh,
A skin to take advantage of,
I won't look at her any less.
I want her to be the last woman I fall for,
So don't stop me, 'cause I ask for nothing more.
For if ever someone would dare hurt her,
I'll make sure they'd regret it very much after,"
Asmodeus said in a menacing tone,
As for whatever reason, it sent chills to his bone.
His eyes reminded him of Satan's,
Although it was to no surprise, so resemblance is expected to be blatant.
He didn't said another word,
As Asmodeus was firm, no matter what he's told,
Belphegor only pat his head,
As he tell him, "Very well said,"
Meanwhile, Beelzebub started to wake,
As the two demons, quickly grabbed a plate.
They offered him turkey, and bread and wine,
As Beelzebub could only, heavily sigh.
"Stop babying me, I am eras old,"
"But look at your condition, you could barely hold,"
"I think the effect of the curse is worsening,
Each day is a struggle, it's harder to keep living,"
"Beelzebub, don't think too much,
Eat first, you'll feel better after lunch,"
"Belphegor, thank you for your concern,
But...for now I wanted to rest,
For I feel, very worn.."
"You haven't eaten yet,"
"I know, but don't you sweat,
I'd eat once I get myself back together,
Now just go on your daily lives,
I'm sorry for the bother,"
"You will never be a bother, Beel,
I'd even kill that guy that almost get you killed,"
"Ah, thank you Asmodeus, but they reacted what any sane human would,
After all, I'm about to eat them, so what they did wasn't at all rude,"
"Yes, but that doesn't mean that they're safe from torture,
Rather than giving them a quick death,
I made sure they taste Azazel's nature.
That demon knows how to kill the mind,
Kill the heart, and make them slowly rot inside,"
"Belphegor, you didn't have to,
Seriously, there's so much more that you could do,
And yet you wasted your time here with me,"
"Of course, you're part of our family,
We can't rule the world without one missing,
So chin up, this is simply the beginning.
Once the angels finally give up,
Think of all the places we could conquer and have,"
"Belphegor is right! So just smile wide,
Perhaps one day, your curse would be broken as well!
So don't think any negative thoughts,
We won't leave you, until you feel better, okay?"
"But isn't Sellena waiting for you?"
"She can wait, all I care for now is you,
You came earlier than her, right?
So you're my first priority, I'll stay until night.
She can handle herself, anyways,
So don't worry, I'm not going anywhere,"
Beelzebub feel touched,
That he quickly grabbed the pieces of meat set aside.
The two demons then felt relieved,
"That's right, keep on living, you have more reasons to live,"
Asmodeus said optimistically,
As Belphegor only watched them, smiling happily.
"You two are a pain in the ass,"
"We know, but you still love the big brother task,"
"It's because you need me so much,"
"And yet you always sleep and such,"
"Asmo, quiet you...you've always been the mood breaker,
No wonder you and Sellena still hasn't taken things further,"
"Hey! Stop bringing her up suddenly!"
"Hah, let's see if you can make me!"
The two kept throwing banters at each other,
As Beel was just happy, he have two big brothers.
Although both seem terrifying,
When their anger takes over.
...
Meanwhile, Satan visited Michael yet again,
"Give up now, while you still can,"
But Michael was simply lying down,
Not bothering to reply to him,
Which quickly made the demon frown.
The angry Satan felt insulted and quickly released his sword,
But was then calmed down by Astaroth's words.
He was consumed by his pride that he forgot he brought a visitor,
A tall pale man, that's well respected, even by Lucifer.
"I haven't seen Michael in a while,"
The high duke of hell said with a smile.
His white robe turned into gray,
As he looked at Michael's sour looking face.
"Don't be so angry, we're here to make a deal,
Since you keep disrespecting Lord Satan, I'm here to take the wheel.
If you agree to this, then the other angels will be released,
And if you don't, then in front of you, they'd be boldly killed,"
Astaroth's arms quickly released snakes,
Which grew into large looking serpents, that quickly slithered away.
"I'd crush others, as Satan burns the other half,
You get to choose, this deal isn't half bad.
I mean, if you join us, then you'd finally feel like a chief,
Than an angel, who doesn't know how to walk on his own feet.
You need to think clearly, Michael,
If you refuse us, you'd be sure that not all things woult turn well,"
"Rot in hell! I won't join your legion!"
"Ah, that my friend, is a very bad decision,
Did you know? That we're on the upper hand?
That you can't be that bratty angel, that keeps asking for demands?
Wake up, Michael! This is reality,
Where both sides are given the same amount of opportunities.
Perhaps God didn't tell you this, huh, Michael?
That this story we're living in, isn't a mere fairy tale.
Even darkness can consume light, Michael,
Watch us turn every creation of your Creator to hell.
Now, if you seriously don't fear us one bit,
I'm going to give you a sample, just watch there and sit,"
Satan smirks when he saw the serpents returned,
Carrying the low ranking angel, Christopher, badly burned.
By the looks of his face, he was severely tortured,
But was still breathing, despite being terribly injured.
Michael's eyes widened as he saw the state he's in,
"Michael, don't...don't fall into his sin,"
Christopher reminded, before Satan kicked him down,
"Look, at that poor angel, now beg for my mercy now!"
But no words of such escaped the angel's lips,
"Ah so this angel, don't have any motivation to be released?
Fine, then I'd take care of this,"
Satan then set his body aflame, as his skin quickly burnt into a crisp.
The angel screamed as Satan kept laughing,
"Don't you care Michael? That in front of you, a loyal angel is burning?"
Michael only watched in horror as tears fell from his eyes,
He quickly prayed for the angel, to swiftly escape his demise.
Christopher's head quickly turned bald,
As his flesh turned red, and his fragile head, Satan then cut into halves,
The flames were too strong, that his whole body turned into ash,
As Michael stood still, he could so barely watch.
"Now, that's just the beginning, Michael,
I can carry more angels,
Should I strangle one next?
See them pop their eyes off as they beg for your help?"
Astaroth teased as Satan smiled quite pleased,
"Accept the offer now, or forever hold your peace,"
"You...traitors! What did we do to deserve such?!
Satan! You soulless monster! This is too much!"
"Ah, feeling hopeless now, are we?
Just accept that you're weaker than your enemy.
Just accept that your so called 'love' makes you weaker,
We don't have that here, and now the results are getting better!"
"You're a monster! You will regret all of this!"
"Regret? Hahahah, oh Michael...you wish,"
Satan snapped his fingers,
As another angel was dragged in,
Still injured.
"Let's see how much you can take.."
"Astaroth?"
"Yes, my Lord?"
"Let's continue the torture,"
The demon quickly grinned, "With my outmost pleasure..."
