"You wanted to know everything,
You wanted to grasp how this all came to be.
And since you're so special and must be followed,
I'll narrate it for you, so listen as I behold-"
Suddenly, Lucifer freezes as memories suddenly rushed to him like storm.
He yells in pain, as Satan takes control.
Satan laughs as Lucifer feels forlorn,
Trying to get Satan out of his body,
but his efforts bear nothing at all.
And then suddenly, Lucifer finds himself placed on a distant memory,
He sees his younger self, training excessively.
And amidst the crowd, he saw the young angel with red-blood eyes again,
Staring at him, with anger and pain.
He tries to open his mouth, but nothing came.
That was when the present Satan appeared behind him,
Smiling with evil intent that Lucifer wishes to erase,
But before he could react, Satan snapped his fingers, and he was frozen in place.
And after cursing Satan with his mouth and eyes, the trickster continued to narrate.
"Lucifer, long ago...
I wanted to be god.
But my fervent aspirations,
Were all shut down by facts.
I watch as you train,
With envy in my eyes.
Wondering how someone so young,
Could dream so low and just?
I tried to improve myself,
But to you, it cannot be compared.
I envied everything you are and will be,
So I thought, why not destroy your destiny?
If I, can't even surpass you,
How can I surpass God?
And it all came clear to me,
That in my current body, I just can't.
So I wanted yours.
And I sketched out a plan.
I wanted to take control of your body,
So I tried to get closer to you, with everything I could.
I had hoped to corrupt your heart first,
So I approached you with a fake smile,
Never melting even as I spread lies, and praise you with every lovely word.
I wear different faces, but all utter the same,
That oh, Lucifer...you should highen your aim.
And who would have known that deep down your just heart,
Was a desire to break free from your cage?
And no matter how hard you try not to be defeated,
I knew you already lost, the moment you said, "Yes."
Your eyes, once loving, forgiving and obedient,
Was filled with something, I didn't know then.
And after the seeds had been planted,
I left you alone, and saw you change.
You became more prideful, thirsty for praises,
Irritable, angry when not rewarded.
I felt happy, I felt like I was above you in some way,
Seeing the once shimerring angel, suddenly lose his way.
Little by little, you change even more,
And so by then, I decided to be close.
Repeating my same methods, I inserted pieces of myself unto you,
Further destroying your morals, whispering you start the world anew.
Pitiful you were, but I was glad you were.
Having you argue with your elders,
thinking you're way better than them.
Ah, I've never felt that excited,
The day you announced that you'll betray-
Your own brothers who've loved and honored you tirelessly,
The same brothers who showered you with affection I so envy.
And it felt as though I was dreaming when you told your believers you'd slay them too.
But then again, it all occured.
And so, the war began.
I expected nothing less from our opponents.
They were way too strong, and that was when I saw how powerful God really is.
Even though I tactically stayed behind your troops,
The lightning seemed to target me the most.
He truly have seen through my plan.
And punished my soul to be chained in the lands.
My spirit however, has remained intact.
But without a vessel, I wouldn't be able, to be brought back.
I was panicking in that state,
Angry and puzzled, of how I had failed.
That was when I realized a reality so weakening,
That no matter what, my endevour would not be achieved.
Even if I regain your body,
Even if I reap a thousand souls,
No one will equal to the power of God.
He who created all there is, sea and land.
God was too strong to be defeated.
So I knew I wouldn't be god, no matter how I try it.
Unlike you, Lucifer, I by then, realized my limits.
So I changed my desires, into something more evil.
Before my vessel, my poor celestial body die,
I fully entered your already ruined heart.
You gave me away though, to Faegan, my valuable vessel.
But because he still have some kindness left in him,
It was a relief we had seperated ways.
And now, that I see them all look at me,
I couldn't help but feel pleased.
Finally, the real culprit is being recognized.
The true Lord of Deception and Lies.
I will now continue to plague the world with my new desire,
And I will not fail this time."
Lucifer's eyes widened more at the revelation,
Still processing the entirety of what he heard.
His reaction then turned to anger,
"Oi, why are you angry? I did what you told."
Satan then laughs as he looks at Selaphiel,
"Okay then Lucifer, keep wondering about the tale.
As I, continue to take revenge,
And if you want to be more cooperative,
Just die and lend your body to me."
Satan excitedly aims his spear at the trapped angel,
But that was when he felt a stronger grip.
It was definitely a force holding him from within,
"Lucifer? Don't you prefer not help them win?"
"I prefer not letting you win as my first priority,
You f*cking assh*le who stole my destiny.
You ruined everything I was preparing for!"
"It isn't my fault you did what you heard,"
Selaphiel looked around and saw how much his other brothers struggle to free themselves,
But the archangel did not feel disheartened by what he seen.
The moment he realized Lucifer did not want him killed,
Was the moment his love for his brother was regained.
With tears in his eyes, and regret in his heart,
He asked with all he can, to be freed from the devil's hands.
Soon, he felt strong enough to rip the serpent's body with his bare fingers,
While Satan and Lucifer continue to argue.
The serpent's blood stung like acid,
But Selaphiel had no time to pay mind to it.
He then bumped Satan with such speed and force,
That the demon's spirit left Lucifer's body without a choice.
Satan coughs as his face paled,
Without a body, he'd certainly fade away.
That fact, Selaphiel knew very well,
So he kept his distance from him, but threatens him anyways.
"Surrender now, you will never be saved."
But despite his seriousness,
Satan was not impressed.
The demon of pride however, had just regained conciousness,
And upon knowing that Selaphiel and Satan were about to face,
He quickly made actions in order to aid.
Lucifer snaps his fingers, making all the demons on his command,
Aim their guns, directly to Satan.
The red-eyed demon however, was rather calm,
As he snaps his fingers back,
And Lucifer's influence was completely gone.
The yellow-eyed demon could only stand, stunned,
As he then wonder, how it was so.
"Lucifer, I am the origin of Evil.
So of course, they're my followers.
I just used your body and influence,
But you're all just my shell."
Satan briefly explained,
As Selaphiel then noticed the demons' necks.
A chain-like tatto were embedded on their skin,
Signalling, that they truly all were his.
"Now, why don't I show you my control, hm?
Since you seem not to fear me at all.
Let's start by reminding you of bitter loss.
Ah! How about I start by killing your nearest brother?
If you are god, this wouldn't be a big deal, right?
Since, you can just have another one?
Haha, oh wait...even if you can't make another angel,
He's also your rival, so you shouldn't pay mind.
After all, gods don't have weaknesses, right?"
Before Lucifer could answer, Selaphiel attacks,
But because of his exhaustion, was quickly pushed away.
"Oh, Selaphiel, you still loved the bastard who betrayed your kind?
Both of you are so pitiful, how easily you forget the past."
Satan then snaps his fingers and Lucifer could only watch,
As a thousand bullets on Selaphiel has been striked.
Lucifer tried to attack but soon felt himself paralyzed,
Realizing that one of Satan's snake had snuck a bite.
He continued to witness Selaphiel's miserable death,
As he could only look and cry seeing the angel's barrier melt.
Selaphiel looked at him however, not with anger or sadness,
It was a look, the same look he used to give him.
He looked proud.
"Selaphiel!!!" He could only yell his name,
As the other brothers watch in agony and pain.
They try to free themselves but the snakes seemed to coil tighter,
Making them have no choice, but to watch the murder unfold.
Satan claps all the while it was happening,
"Shoot him! Yes! Shoot him! This is very entertaining!
The curse-bearer, now gone forever!
Even with God on your side,
You died so horrible!
Hahahahah! No different from a devil."
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I will!"
Lucifer yells as his rage rocks within.
"That's not a nice thing to say, Lucifer.
Is that what's taught to you, by your brothers?"
"Stop mocking me you piece of-"
But his words were muffled by his own emotions.
He cries and cries, like a little child,
Recalling the moments, Selaphiel had smiled.
"You look so weak, Lucifer.
Let me help you get up.
And I promise so long as we're merged,
You will never cry."
Satan says calmy,
matched with a malicious smile.
