Chapter 4 - The Man Behind the mask

In the depths of Hell, where demons roamed in their eternal damnation and where all the dammed are sent to suffer until the final war. A queen waits for her king, she has waited for more than a hundred years, but he's still locked away in his prison. She sits on her throne made completely out of burnt bones with human flesh as the cushion, suddenly a low ranking demon barged in. He immediately bowed down.

"What do I owe this unacceptable intrusion?" She asked staring intensely at the demon with her dark scarlet eyes. The demon was afaird and she could feel it, his heart was pounding faster than eighteen band drums.

"He has returned." The demon stammered, her eyes grew wide but she calmed herself.

"Who?" She asked.

"Your husband, Lucifer." The demon replied still with his head facing the ground. She got off her throne and demanded that the demon show her where, they set off through the large hall of Pride. All demons stopped whatever they were doing to bow down to their queen, suddenly a demon with blood red hair and white eyes flew towards the queen, he had the wings of a raven and the horns of a ram. He was smartly dressed in a red and black suit and was holding a stack of books.

"A lovely day in hell, isn't it Queen Lilith?" The demon asked Lilith. She gave him an eye before asking the other demon to talk his leave

"What does the Grand Duke Asaroth possibly want from me? With his annoyingly pale skin?" Lilith asked, Asaroth pretended not to hear the last statement before continuing.

"I believe you've heard the news? That your beloved husband has returned?" Asaroth replied slyly before changing into a serviceable manner. "Is there anything I should have arranged?" He asked.

"Get the dinning hall ready for us and the other princes." She replied.

"Does that include Antichrist?" He asked, Lilith paused in her steps before looking at Asaroth and shaking her head.

"Then I shall get the preparations ready." He said while taking off. Lilith finally reached the main gate in the castle but before she could reach the handle a voice spoke from behind.

"News travels fast here, doesn't it Lil?" A voice asked and Lilith instantly turned and saw Lucifer standing beside a statue, she ran and colllasped into his opened hands. Her dark scarlet eyes gazing into his light red eyes.

"I've missed you." She said while running her fingers through his long white hair.

"Same here." He replied and they started to walk towards the dinning hall where the six other Princes of Hell were waiting, Lilith told Lucifer what was going on while he was bounded in his prison. They reached the room and entered, the room was filled with the most devious paintings one could find in the world in the centre of the room was a long table with a total of eight seats. Three on the left, three on the right and the remaining two in front of the others, the six seats were taken by both sides.

"Woah, Lucifer. Shouldn't you be that dark room for another thousand years?" A male with tanned skin and white hair and golden eyes that had a diamond colouring around the pupil. The male was dressed in Ancient Greek gold robes with a white inner, there were gold coins by the male on the table. Another male with auburn hair and light blue eyes was busy devouring all the food on the table dressed in a black leather jacket and a red tank top. Another male with pink wavy shoulder length hair and seductive red eyes with red painted nails was using his phone taking pictures of his white sweater with a heart logo.

"Oi, Mammon shouldn't you be getting your stinking stupid coins off the table?" Lucifer replied at Mammon, he then turned his attention to Beelzebub.

"And would you stop eating like an animal, Beel? While you're at that why don't you wake up Belphagor up? He's sleeping in the pudding!" Lucifer exclaimed which ended up waking up Belphagor. The black haired boy looked at Lucifer with tired and angry purple eyes. Everyone else stopped whatever they were doing and the meeting began.

"So you're saying that a bunch of teen-agers are being recruited by God? Does he take us a joke?" The male with pink hair asked, that was Asmodeus Avatar of Lust.

"Look who's talking, the one who got sacked from his crush's house when she got married to a young adult and all he used was a burnt fish's heart." A grey haired male with the horns of a bull with icy blue eyes in a blood red hoodie with several tattoos on his arms. Asmodeus blushed in embrassment.

"Shut up Satan! At least I don't tempt people with bread." Asmodeus retorted.

"Enough with the bullshit of arguments, we should be discussing how to defeat our enemies!" A male with light blue hair and ocean blue eyes exclaimed, he was dressed in Renaissance area clothes with a dark brown cloak on him and fingerless gloves.

"As much as I hate agreeing with him, Leviathan is right we can't be arguing." Mamma added. The princes where quiet for a while until Asmodeus spoke.

"What if we get some of them to join us? Like you know we make them lose faith in God." Asmodeus suggested while twirling his finger around a strand of his hair.

"That's a great idea! But how would we do that?" Beelzebub asked while taking a huge bite of a chicken's leg.

"Well we could send bad luck to anything they have high hopes for. And we can demoralise them and plant seeds of doubt in their hearts." Belphagor added. Lucifer stared at his fellow comardes, then a wicked grin crept slowly onto his lips.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's make people forget about their so-called saviour, with that the demon princes including Lilith left. All expect Lucifer. He stared with great contempt and hatred into the sky.

"God, I'm going to make you regret kicking me out of heaven. Mark my Word."
