Hazbin Hotel: Alastor x OC Reader (Season 1)

Chp 6: Overture (Part 1)

"Once upon a time, there was a glowing city protected by golden gates, known as Heaven. It was ruled by beings of pure light. Angels that worshiped good and shielded all from evil. Lucifer was one of these angels. He was a dreamer with fantastical ideas for all of creation. But, he was seen as a troublemaker by the elders of Heaven. For they felt his way of thinking was dangerous to the order of their world...So, he watched as the angels began to expand the universe in their ways. From the dust of Earth, they created Adam and Lilith. Equals as the first of mankind, but despite this, Adam demanded control, and Lilith refused to submit to his will. She fled the Garden. Drawn in by her fierce independence, Lucifer found her and the two rebellious dreamers fell deeply in love. Together, they wished to share the magic of free will with humanity, offering the Fruit of Knowledge to Adam's new bride, Eve, who gladly accepted. But this gift came with a curse. For with this single act of disobedience, evil finally found its way into the Earth. With it, a new realm of darkness and sin. And the order Heaven worked to maintain was shattered. As punishment for their reckless act Heaven cast Lucifer and his love into the dark pit he had created, never allowing him to see the good that came from humanity, only the cruel and the wicked. Ashamed, Lucifer lost his will to dream. But Lilith thrived, empowering demon kind with her voice and her songs. And as the numbers of Hell grew, so did its power. Threatened by this, Heaven made a truly heartless decision. That every year, they would send down an army, an Extermination, to ensure Hell and its sinners could never rise against them. But Lilith's hope remained. And her dream was passed down to their precious daughter, the Princess of Hell."

As Charlie finishes narrating, she closes a book titled '"The Story of Hell" and looks out to Pentagram City.

"Don't worry, Mom. I'll make you proud."

Charlie soberly looks out the window to Pentagram City burning to the ground, just as Vaggie comes into the room.

"Charlie?" Vaggie calls out to Charlie.

The key Charlie is holding transforms into Keekee who scampers away, and Charlie turns to Vaggie in surprise.

"Aah! Oh, shit. Did you hear all that?" Charlie asks.

"Uh, yeah. I was right there." Vaggie tells her.

Vaggie points her thumb to the doorway.

"Sorry. I get pretty worked up after an extermination happens. The story helps..." Charlie explains.

Vaggie chuckles. "Don't worry. I enjoy your theatrics. Are you okay?" Vaggie questions a hint of worry in her voice.

Vaggie sits down with Charlie.

"I'm fine. Just... thinking, ya' know? Family stuff." Charlie tells Vaggie.

"Did you hear from your mom?" Vaggie asks Charlie.

Charlie shakes her head in dismay.

"Oof.. how long has it been now?"

"Not that long, only...seven....years, off doing something important, I'm sure! But, this kingdom was something she really cared about. Something I care about." Charlie states.

"Well, at least you're not alone." Vaggie tells her.

"I just hope that what I'm trying to do here will work." Charlie says hopefully.

"It will. I have faith in you." Vaggie says to Charlie.

KeeKee leaps into Charlie's arms as Vaggie stands up.

Vaggie: "Alright, come on. Alastor says he has something to show us. Vaggie informs Charlie, she than walks out the room.

As Vaggie leaves, a loud bell rings throughout the city, and Charlie turns to the Bell Tower at Heaven Embassy. She looks on with sadness, knowing that it's another year before the Extermination comes again.
