" Don't worry he's fine.. I casted an illumination spell on him, he would consider everything to be a dream" Alice said and sat down.
" I never imagined that I would meet a fellow demon, I am Lucian" the strange man from the forest said with a smile and took my hands
" Fellow demon?" I asked confused
" Well well well this young man doesn't seem to know what he is" Lucian said with a smirk
" He's no demon" I turned to find another man
He didn't walk in through the door neither did he come in from the house
so that must mean he teleported here..
He had a striking resemblance to Lucy from the eyes to the hair and face,
One could say he is Lucy's twin brother
"Lucifer" Lucian said and both he and Alicia fell to their knees.
I didn't know what to do so I just stood up
" Where is my daughter? " He questioned
" She's resting"Alicia replied not looking up at him
" Zack " the man called Lucifer called and showed me a half smile
" Hmm seems he was the one who woke my sleeping daughter, the morning star" He said
" Wait so he's the morning star? I mean... "
"Yes to whatever that's in your head" he replied Lucian
I just stood there not getting what they were saying
"I would leave him to the both of you.. also make him understand everything " He instructed and disappeared
"Oh my, oh my, I can't believe this" Alicia sat beside me with wide eyes
"You don't need to be confused I'll explain everything"Lucian looked at me and also took a seat beside me
" Alright I'm all ears " I said looking at the both of them with an emotionless face
" Well thousands of years ago there was a great war between demons and witches..
Both kinds never agreed and at the same time, there was a war in hell between Lucifer and his stepbrother who wanted the throne…
During that period a prophecy was given about a child whose parents were going to be from both kinds and would be the one to destroy Lucifer's bother" Lucian said and sighed
" Why would they need the child? Can't Lucifer just kill him himself?" I asked and Lucian just laughed
" Well he could but he couldn't "
" Meaning ?" I asked not getting why he was trying to confuse me when he was asked to make me understand everything
" Lucifer could if he was still the morning star, but after being crowned king of hell he couldn't..as both he and his brother were equals when it comes to strength but Lucifer was still always powerful that was why he became king.
And you know the saying good wins over evil, Lucifer wasn't as pure as he used to so he couldn't kill his brother… "
" Would you stop beating around the bush and tell him everything " Alicia interrupted
" Then tell him yourself " Lucian rolled his eyes
" Well Zack to cut the long story short..
Lucifer tricked our witch princess into marrying him.. "
" Well hello, he didn't trick her she asked him for help " Lucian cut in and looking at the both of them I doubt we'll be done with this story anytime soon.
" Alright, I'll hear Alicia's side of the story first before hearing you out okay…so please go on " I instructed and both of them nodded.
" Well to be honest..Hazel,our witch princess was in need of help and she Lucifer was the only one that could help her..
After their marriage Hazel got pregnant and on the day of her delivery their was a huge outburst of magic which alerted every magical being including the witch queen who was unaware of Lucifer's presence in the palace.
Out of anger she cursed Hazel's baby, but the witch princess sacrificed her life in other to save her baby.
She placed her baby to sleep awating the next morning start .. " She paused and took in deep breaths wiping the tears that threatened to drop
" Although she didn't die,She went into deep sleep just like Lucy did..she also pleaded with Lucifer not to take revenge, so he took I, little Lucy and the princess to hell "
"So you mean Lucy isn't your daughter and she's the daughter of Lucifer the devil? "
" Yes " Alicia replied with a smile
" But I don't get one thing "
" What? " Lucian asked
" How Lucy woke up and why Lucifer can't wake his wife up, I mean he's the king of hell "
" Well, Lucy woke up the day the morning star, which is you, was born, but before then she always exhibited her powers even in her sleep.
There was a particular day after cleaning her up, as I very found of placing toys in her cradle, that day after I left I heard the bells of her cradle jiggling
I rushed back to find some weird-looking creatures stuck in the air and her cradle was rocking itself while Lucy was smiling in her sleep.
When Lucifer returned I told him what happened and we went back to Lucy's room to find those creatures still stuck in the air but she was no longer smiling and her bells were no longer jingling..
The creatures were sent to kill Lucy one of the investigators said but they didn't know how to bring them down not even Lucifer could
and no one could go near the cradle after that day till she woke up.
Well after waking up Lucifer locked her powers until she was twenty-two"
she paused in her narration and took one look at me
"There were also three creatures which were found sleeping under her cradle three years before she woke up
Santonia Catherine and Edgar.. "
" Butut those are human names, not creatures " I chopped in
" Well, Lucy was the one that named them when she was five
Santonia is a snake, Catherine a cat, and Edgar is an eagle..
But never in history has any witch nor demon have such creatures as protectors "
" Wait..did you say cat ?"
" Yea "
"I sometimes find Lucy talking to a white cat in the office and when I question her about it as animals aren't allowed in the office, she would say her cat got into her bag unnoticed to her..when its closing time and I ask about the cat, she would say it already returned home which I always found weird
Three weeks ago during the closing hour, I spotted her talking to a dark lady but something about her eyes was creepy and strange " I recollected the events
" That must be Santonia and these animals have the capability of turning to humans but they find it hard to blend because of their eyes "
Alicia explained everything and I listened attentively.
