Eternal Heights

Chapter 9: "Is that Whale shit on your shirt?"

I ate close to 2/3 of my plate and guilt sunk in. I looked at a pitiful looking Lucifer sitting on his new 2x4 wooden abode he was confined to and I brought the remains of my plate over to him. When he noticed me coming he turned his back like a child would if they were in timeout and you came to check on them and they were still a little salty toward you. "Here you go Lucifer." Jake said placing it on the ship deck within reach but not needing a response for the good deed. He grunted in frustration letting his pride win the kind gesture. As Jake was walking away he heard the scrape of a metal plate scrape as Lucifer grabbed the hot meal. Jake didn't turn around as though he knew it took every swallow from Lucifer to gulp his ego down or the remains of the plate and Jake kept the small victory to himself by allowing a smile to raise slightly.

If he weren't the most hated person in the universe, the guy would be actually quite the likeable and down to earth guy. Jake was torn between guilt and pride by his breach of trust in him with Lucifer's offering the hidden stowed away food. Nevertheless thougb it was wrong and jake still knew in his heart he did the right thing. If he didn't then Jake would be the one on the plank feeling miserable instead of him. Right is right and wrong is wrong no matter who you are or what you've done Jake wouldn't be able to judge anyone because he knew that even he wasn't perfect and If that was a qualification of being Allmega then he would resign immediately and let someone else do the wrong thing.

Jake looked at the Sun Rise on the 41st day of his voyage and thought of Halsey. He didn't need a compass to know what direction his heart wanted to go. Halsey was true north to him each time. Wherever he was it was a beautiful place and it was definitely not earth because the sun and the moon were one there. It was a half rock half ball of flame together 50% moon and 50% sun. It was a hell of way to wake up to and the sun/moon-set was extrodinary to watch making the night sky look like a eclipse that never passed. Amazing. Absolutely beautiful.

Jake snapped back to when Lucifer's voice was heard and he what he said make Jake do a double take and ask "I'm sorry, what did you just say?" As if on cue Lucifer repeated his statement. "You will be a father the next time you see the princess again Jake."

"Um, Lucifer that would be physically impossible. Halsey and I never had sex." Jake said uneasy. "Why would I lie to you about that Jake?" Lucifer said evenly. "Because your the damn devil .. I don't know?" Jake replied using his hands up in question. "Polepe women are extremelyyy fertile, and I mean extremly fertile." Lucifer said making sure to reiterate the second extremely fertile statement. "They can only get pregnant when they and the male they fall for are actually in love and seal with a kiss for DNA to be given to the child."

Jakes eyes got wide enough for them to pop out of their sockets at the enlightenment from Lucifer. He started to sway with the boat as it rocked him like a baby when the ship rounded each wave. " I...I.....I......um...
How... Umm... I think I'm gonna vomit." Jake said actually turning white in the face like he had just seen Casper fucking the tooth fairy on the easter bunnies bed. Luckily not eating for a month didn't leave any leftover food to be able to vomit but he had to sit down in bewilderment. A father. Holy shit. Jake wondered what would happen if a woman polepe that worked at a kissing booth went on the Maury show. Then results are in for all 783 of you guys.

"I have been around enough polepe women and had countless bastards from those said women to fill a soccer stadium to know a prego polepe when I see one." Lucifer said. "Why did you wait until now to tell me?" Jake asked condescendingly. "You will need that drive to get passed the sleeping dragon and her spawns, otherwise you will be stuck on that dreadful island forever." Lucifer said halfhearted. He continued saying. "Trust me you don't want to spend forever there. It really messes you up. After 150 years I had enough and climbed to the top of he dragon eyed mountain and when I neared the top I started sprinting over the cliffs edge assuming I would parish. " Well did you?" Jake asked. "parish..?" Lucifer asked questionable. "Uh.. Yeah..?" Jake asked hesitantly.
