In the large hall room was a long wooden table. Set for at least twenty having a royal feast except it wasn't for any of that. The way they sat and the pin drop silence in the room could send a shiver down the spine of any one who walked into the room.
Except all those who sat or where allowed to that part of the castle were strictly for business and nothing more.....
Everyone's face hardened as the man of the evening arrived. Carrying the deadliest aura with him. As he walked in. All other's stood at his presence. He walked straight to his master seat which seemed like a throne and made all other seats common compared to it. He stood glaring hard at each one of their faces before he sat. His legs crossed as his hand rest on the arm rest and so did his head on his knuckles.
"Let's get this over with." He waved and they all elegantly sat down. "I believe we here are all clear on what our meetings are about." He spoke as his dark eyes wondered about. So care free.
"Yes my lord. And when dose the scheme's begin?." asked one of the men. He just glared at the man before shifting his gaze.
"We start as soon as possible." Was his simple answer.
"But my lord.Distracting the four guardians is impossible." said another one and their lord only rolled his dark eyes.
"We still have a leader in the manipulative system don't we?."
"Well my lord it could be..."
"Then we shall use that. Its the easiest way to the human race that you may ever think it is fools." He said almost groaning in annoyance.
"But my lord i really think that..."
His glares shut the person speaking without even him saying a word. Only that could make one understand what he was saying. He turned back scanning each and everyone of their unsure faces.
"Any more objections?." He asked and a man sitting at the end of his right stood.
"My lord. Even if we were to use the manipulative system then the guardians most have sensed us already. Their back is always forever as willing as ours. Even more."
"What are you imposing?."
"Your method is useless my lord." the man stated simply suddenly feeling funny as he coughed out blood. Slowly looking down his chest was a long dark finger sticking through it.
"I think you've said enough." He heard someone whisper pulling pit their finger from his chest.Loosing consciousness. He blacked out.
"Any more objections?." asked their lord as he was given a clothes to wipe away the blood on his fingers.They all bowed their heads until....
"Lucifer!!!!!!...." A voice called by the door and causing everyone to freeze. Who did it? Who dared to call him by his name?.
Lucifer slowly stopped in his tracks.Turning his head to where the sound came.
There stood a woman,supporting herself with the door. Her face looked sour. Sweat beads racing down her face. She was breathing quite heavy.
"Aurora?...."Lucifer tilted his head slightly.
"I will not let you take on with your plans!." she half yelled as Lucifer walked up to her. Looking her right in the eye.
"Aurora you should be resting...."
"Resting?...." Her voice questioned him. "I should be resting?How can i possibly do that?.
"Go to the point." was all he said.Almost rolling his eyes at her.
"Your scheme won't work." she said simply and he raised a brown at her.
"Meaning?."
"A member still resides there. Not just any. And as far as I'm concerned. It won't work."
"Stop talking in riddles Aurora." he hissed. She brought out a paper.More like a picture. Placing it in his hand.
"Retreat her and watch how the scheme goes. A pure soul with a link to the darkest side isn't right. Rare to find and posses enough to pull your scheme. If you're interested then find her. She must return at once."were here last words as she walked out. Leaving the squeezed photography in his hand. As he stared closely.
Was that...?
CHAPTER TWO 2 - The Meeting
Walking down a lonely path was Lucifer.
As he found his way into the old and abandoned village. Not minding the darkness and fallen houses surrounding him.His boots made clack clack sounds at it made contact with the floors.
Finally reaching the hill which the village sat on,he went ahead to the dark shadow of a man who stood at it's edge. Looking down at the landscape of the hills and valley's his coat dancing behind him. Not minding as the wind hit his face from time to time.
"What do you want?."
out came a terrifying voice that sent shivers down the spine of those around himor happened to mistakenly hear him.Hear a man of less wars like him speak.But Lucifer didn't flinch. He was even bothered at any of those featuresas his eyes were fixable on his sleeve. Which he was adjusting.
"I want to believe news has reached you." Was all he said after the long term of silence between them both.
However the man only turned to look sideways at the person behind him. He knew it. He knew no one could ever speak with such authority to him except Lucifer. He was the only one brave enough. The only one strong and powerful enough. The only in which that man's qualifications couldn't match no matter way he tried.
But he turned once more towards the wind.Not answering Lucifer.
"So when do you intend on starting your journey?."
"I already told you......" Lucifer cut him off.
"My scheme needs to start as soon as possible. And to think I'm willing to risk that?." Lucifer raised a brow at the back view of this man.
"I can't remember asking for any of that information."He replied and Lucifer chuckled. A dark kind.
"Well I'm telling you now." he stated simply.
"Get someone worth while. I'm not doing it."
In swift motions,Lucifer stood in his front, gripping his collar as he stared dagger into that man's eye.
"You will do as i say." He did with clenched teeth.
"And what if i don't?."
"I want this all to work out the most perfect it can be. We wouldn't have to wait to
to any of their useless souls. We'll bring is to them. The race of humanity will come to end but never will their horrified screams. None of this can happen with that girl still there. Don't you understand?!." He was almost yelling now.
"That girl is your daughter and non of this would have ever happened if you hadn't sent her back."
"The girl is Aurora's not mine."
"Then let her scream in agony as well."
"I will need her here no matter way you can."
"What will i get in return?." He raised a brow.
Lucifer hissed and abruptly let him go. He turned away as he ran his fingers in his hair. The lips of the man he'd let go curving up into a smirk.
"Just as i thought.Fully knowing my request you back out now......."
And before he could continue...
"In return you shall have her.Only behind the backs of Aurora."
Disbelieve written all over his face yet he managed a smile. A deceiving one at that.
'Really?." He stated simply amused at the extent this man could go.Only to fufil a simple scheme he was willing to give out a child whom h so called mate loved and gave up everything for. A child he called their own. But...he was the devil wasn't he. As always greedy,selfish. He could probably even trade out Aurora if it were up to him to do so....
"Haven't i made myself clear?." Lucifer replied.His voice plane with the irritation this man was making him feel.
He shrugged his shoulders but the devil again began laughing insanely. A frown settled on his face. Leaving him only to wonder what this devil was up to now.
"You do know that a single month with your so found mate now don't you?." Lucifer asked.
"Meaning?."He said his brows furrowed in confusion.
"The recreation shall take a month.Your only quest?Find her and return her within that one month.Your time is ticking and as soon as it clocks you'll return from which you came.If not so I'll have no other choices than to chain you."Said Lucifer as one could feel the proud grin on his face.
"If so then,i have faced more quest's of such more than you could imagine.I could bring her in a day if required." But Lucifer only chuckled at his statement.
"You don't get it do you? A pure soul can never pass.And to pass through....." He paused. "She'll have to accept darkness. And that darkness is non other than.....you."
