Chapter 5 - Lucifer's Decision

In the fiery, oppressive realm of the underworld, the demons were preparing for the arrival of their new king, Asmodeus the Devil, the one with dominion over all things evil.

Amidst the anticipation, Satan, the fiery demon of wrath, was in a heated discussion with Lucifer, the demon of pride. Frustrated and incredulous, Satan expressed his disbelief at the idea of allowing their brother, whom he deemed a premature and foolish ruler, to ascend to the ultimate throne of hell. "We have to do something," Satan urged. "Lucifer, are you just going to sit there and do nothing?"

In response, Lucifer, usually the embodiment of pride, whispered a surprising revelation. "Asmodeus doesn't want the throne. He doesn't want the responsibilities tied to our eternal struggle. I think this will be good for him," Lucifer explained in an uncharacteristically calm manner.

Stunned, Satan's eyes widened as he gaped at Lucifer. "What! Don't tell me you are on his side, accepting this silly idea," Satan exclaimed in disbelief.

"On the contrary, I am on no one's side," Lucifer replied cryptically.

Left shocked and flustered by Lucifer's unexpected stance, Satan walked away, leaving Lucifer to ponder the enigmatic reason behind his support for Asmodeus to take the throne. As the first-ever Devil, Lucifer's motives were shrouded in mystery, hinting at a diabolic reason that only he knew.

Or maybe for once in a lifetime Lucifer wanted to do something good.He was probably still feeling guilty for what happened with Lilith.He had tried to use her to keep his brothers tied to the cause. Asmodeus ended up falling for her.

What happened next was a history Lucifer never wanted to repeat.He did the most logical thing to he could.He let Lilith,his first and only love go .She was too dangerous to be left in the wild so he handed her over to someone who could handle the Queen of hell.They called him Mara and he was one powerful demon.He felt sorry for Lilith but she deserved it.

Yes he did tell her to seduce his brothers but he didn't expect her to use them as pawns to protect herself.Satan wanted to teach Lilith a lesson after she stole a weapon purposely made for him.He almost butchered her but Asmodeus stepped in to save his lover.

Thats were Satan exposed what Lilith had been doing.It took Lucifer and Mammon to restrain both of them from ending her there and then.She was brain washed for her own safety and sent to a secluded island where Mara was in control.Mara who took the form of a man with beautiful daughters who were actually always demons in training, for centuries knew how to deal with troublesome ladies like Mrs Lilith so he assured him that she was going to be okay with him.

Lucifer, the enigmatic fallen angel, found himself at the center of a clandestine plot, pondering his next move.

Determined to bring Asmodeus back without further fueling Satan's ire, Lucifer crafted his sinister plans with meticulous care.

After finalizing his scheme, he summoned Satan and, with a classic whisper in his ear, imparted his cryptic message. The exact contents of their exchange remained shrouded in mystery, concealed from the prying ears of onlookers. However, the malevolent smile that crept across Satan's visage hinted at the diabolical nature of their discussion. "Lucifer, this decision of yours, I think I like it," proclaimed Satan, his satisfaction palpable. "Killing two birds with one stone was always my favorite game."

The connotation of "killing two birds with one stone" lingered in the air, leaving a sinister aura in its wake. The implications of Satan's words and Lucifer's undisclosed plan cast an ominous shadow over the kingdom of hell. Well, killing two birds with one stone was supposed to be an expression right,so what did Satan actually mean and what did Lucifer exactly tell him?

As Satan departed, radiating an almost unsettling sense of joy, it was evident that something nefarious was afoot.

Meanwhile, Lucifer stood in contemplation, his gaze fixed upon the coveted throne. Doubt gnawed at his mind as he grappled with the weight of his choices. Had he truly made the right decision in orchestrating Asmodeus's return? A disturbing revelation unfolded as the first king of hell concocted a scheme so malevolent that even Satan, who had not smiled in a decade, broke into laughter and smiles.

The enigmatic nature of Lucifer's intentions and the cryptic exchange between the two powerful entities left the onlookers, and the very fabric of hell itself, shrouded in uncertainty.

What was Satan told and what the hell was up with Lucifer? Didn't he say it would be good to have Asmodeus back?

"The throne is not deserved,it is rather earned.You will have to learn that the hard way little brother and I will make sure you do.If that's the last thing I will ever achieve for Lilith,"

he said to himself with a sort of determination that was emotional.Lucifer was never emotional.

Wait a second,did he blame Asmodeus for the banishing of Lilith,was he going to use this as payback or was he going to serve Asmodeus his revenge served cold?

Only he and Satan knew or it would be better to say only the devil knew.They were the first and surely with his posture Lucifer intended that both of them would be the last. Lucifer and Satan were twins, synonyms and last of all irreplaceable.He would show all those idiots out there that because the same way they cheered Asmodeus was the same way they condemned Lilith.He only stayed quite to study every single face that lifted a voice to utter even the smallest insult at his first love.Their day was coming and it would all be Lucifer's decision.
