"Underworld, I have never heard of this realm. Explain yourself creature." Lucifer said and glared down at Mephistopheles causing him to tremble under his gaze.
"Oh radiant one, the underworld is a realm of pure darkness and discord filled with hell fire and grotesque creatures whose only purpose is to kill and ravage all in their path. I was born different from these creatures, sentient, and every instinct in my body screamed for me to leave and so, I wondered the realm searching for ways to escape that hell hole. Just when I was on the brink of giving up, a portal appeared and brought me here." Mesphistopheles said as his body trembled as he recalled his horrible experiences.
"Where is this portal now? And how long have you been in this realm?" He asked in the same commanding tone. He didn't even suspect that Mesphistopheles, a weak tier 4 non Angel entity, was lying to him.
"Oh radiant one, as soon as I arrived, the portal disappeared since then I have been stranded here for the last six months." Mesphistopheles said
"Where did you get all these books and that attire?" He asked as he looked at the book shelves.
"The portal opened within a human kingdom called Araelia. I managed to blend in with the humans and purchased these things by selling the minerals I brought from the underworld. I purchased these clothes to better blend in with the humans and I purchased the books to gain knowledge after learning the human tongue." Mephistopheles replied
'Hmm, so this creature here comes from a third realm, no one has ever heard of six months ago. This is a great discovery for the Angel race.' Lucifer thought excitedly
"Creature, I will return with a few of my friends in a few hours.....please clean this place up while I'm gone." He said and opened a portal and disappeared, as soon as he was gone Mephistopheles' expression changed from one of subservience to an amused smile.
"So that was one of the so called Angels hmm, as I thought, they are an arrogant bunch." He said and his figure suddenly blurred and disappeared. That wasn't the real Mesphistopheles but a projected image of him created through the [Astroprojection] skill. The real Mephistopheles was sitting on a throne inside in a chamber deeper inside the mountain reading a book. Around him one could see red glowing torches, an eerie darkness, a red glowing orb that floated in the air above a rune and an eerie red portal that twisted and turned chaotically.
"It will be fun to plunge this world into chaos and watch as these arrogant Angels weep in despair." Mephistopheles grinned and laughed eerily in the encroaching darkness.

In Heaven...
A portal opened up infront of Celeste's gate, the entrance to the city of Angels, Celeste. It took the collaboration of all the Angels to build the city of Celeste and, it was truly a city worthy of superior beings. The entire city was made of enlightened minerals, these materials were metal ores and stones that existed in heaven, absorbed and contained Holy energy naturally thus making them different from the mundane ones found in the realm of Earth. The city's gates were a beautiful white that seemed to absorb the rays of the sun which gave them a majestic glow. There were also beautiful gems that not only amplified the beauty of the large and majestic city gate but also a more practical use. As Lucifer walked closer to the gates, the gems glowed a bright yellow colour and opened up on their own. These gems were created by another Angel and was designed to automatically open the gates whenever an Angel came close by. Lucifer entered the city and took a deep breath as he admired the expertly crafted roads and buildings that gave an almost divine glow.
'This truly is a city worthy of us Angels.' Lucifer thought as he walked on the paved streets.
