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 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 the 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 of Heaven worked to maintain what was shattered.

As punishment for their reckless act, Heavens cast Lucifer and his love into the dark pit he created, never allowing him to see the good that came from humanity, only the cruel and wicked.

Ashamed, Lucifer lost his will to dream.

But Lilith thrived, empowering demonkind 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 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.

-A Few Hours After Extermination-

Though some demons were left shaken by the genocide that had happened, things had started to go back to normal---In a sense. Bodies had started to get cleared off the straights, if it wasn't eaten by cannibals over at Cannibal Colony first.

A car drove in from downtown, stopping in front of what looked to be a run down building after hitting someone who had practically fallen from the blood red sky. Out of the car stepped out what looked to be a spider demon. He was tall and slim, with fluffy white hair and spots of pink were seen. He had on a tight suit that was white and had pink stripes, with bow and choker to match.

"Thanks for the fun time, hot stuff!" The Driver said with a laugh.

"Yeah, yeah, listen--" The Spider Demon said as he fixed his hair and shut the door; his sharp teeth showed, "--Keep this discrete, ya hear me? I can't let it get out, that I'm offering my services to randos on the street. It was a quick cash grab! You got it?"
