Hey everyone, I hope you're doing okay! This OS is a mix of Sandman, Greek mythology and a webtoon I like very much called Loving Reaper (you can go check it out it's amazing!!) For this story, it will be a different OC of mine (because it felt righter, don't ask more I wouldn't be able to answer kfdb). They're called Azriel (which means "god is my help"), they/them pronouns, looks like that (just add elf ears):

It was 1994, and it was Lucifer's arrival in hell anniversary. She didn't particularly like this date but every time, people would come as if invited to give her gift. Their hypocrisy and fake smiles were too much for her. But it was only one day each year, she could handle it for the sake of peace between the realms. For her "birthday", Desire was the last one to come, at the end of the day. As usual, he arrived and made it too much.
D: Hello, Luci! He said with a hypocritical smile on, as usual. Happy birthday honey, he added, bowing before her.
She looked at him suspiciously. For the past two hundred years, his gifts were a real pain in the ass. He offered her a headband with little red horns on it, a false "demon tail", ... All the pieces of the costume of a demon in fact. Or at least how humans were imagining demons. The worst part was that he was proud of himself and continued the joke over the years. He even bought her a small figurine of a demon. What a stupid child, she thought at the time. And it still was her opinion of him.
L: Hello, Desire. She said, emotionless.
D: It's a real pleasure to see you. He looked at her with an irritating smile. She didn't smile back and silence came.
L: What are you offering me this year? She asked, already expecting the worst. Still a demon-related trinket?
He put his hand on his heart, pretending to be offended.
D: Ouch, he said, but no, this year's gift is useful. He said, getting out of the way as the doors behind him opened. I present you, my gift. He said as a golden cage arrived with an elf inside it. Their skin were as pale as snow, their hair as dark as night, their ears were long and pointy at the end and their eyes as green as the trees during spring. Their hands and feet were tied together by heavy iron chains.
Lucifer's eyes widened. He didn't dare, did he? He smiled and walked closer to the cage.
D: Their parents were a... Let's say a loan from God that I never returned, and I have no use for their child. He put his hand on the cage, leaning on to it. So, this little creature is yours.
L: Have you lost your mind?? She said, shocked through the core. You offer me a living being??? Get out of here! She said, mad.
