Hazbin Hotel: Lucifer Morningstar x OC Reader (Season 1)

Chp 10: Overture (Part 1)

It begins with a depiction of the universe, where Heaven lies in the sky with its golden gates shining.

The narrator, Charlie Morningstar, tells a story of how entities called Angels made the universe.

"Once upon a time, there was a glowing city protected by golden gates known as Heaven and ruled by beings of Pure light, Angels that worshiped good and shielded all from evil."

As the narration goes on, the images show the silhouette of her father, Lucifer Morningstar, making reworks, which draws the ire wrath of the angels for his behavior.

"Lucifer was one of these angels. He was a dreamer with fantastical ideas for All of creation. However, they see him 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 expanding the universe in their ways. From the dust of Earth, they created Adam and Lilith, equals to the first of Mankind."

The angels then created a planet called Earth, where they produced the first humans, Adam and Lilith.

"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. Lilith rejects Adam and flees, where she meets Lucifer and falls 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."

They came to Adam's new bride, Eve, to offer her an apple from a tree to bring free will to humanity.

But the Earth was shattered by darkness unleashed by them. The angels banished Lucifer and Eve from Heaven and Earth and into the depths of the black and dark realm now called Hell.

"But this gift came with a curse. And with this single act of disobedience, evil finally found its way to 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."

While Lucifer stagnated, Lilith thrived and brought Hell to new heights, leading the angels to start the yearly Extermination as population control for the overpopulated demons and sinners.

"But Lilith thrived, empowering demonkind with her voice and songs. And as the numbers of Hell grew, so did its power. Threatened by this, Heaven made a truly heartless decision. 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 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 at Fern whom is sitting criss cross apple sauce on the floor, looking up at Charlie in awe.

"Soooo, what do you think?" Charlie asks a bit excitedly as Fern smiles at her warmly.

"That was wonderful Charlie! Thank you for telling me the story of hell and all that." Fern thanks Charlie as Charlie nods.

Fern looks at the clock in the room and realizes it's time to clean some more, "I have to go clean again, Charlie. Thank you again for your time telling the story of hell." Fern thanks Charlie once more.

"Always happy to tell it!" Charlie tells Fern with a big smile.

Fern nods and walks off to go clean.

Once Fern left, Charlie 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 her.

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

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

"Uh, yeah. I was right there." Vaggie states.

Vaggie points her thumb to the doorway.

"Sorry. I get pre-tty worked up after an extermination happens. The story helps...especially with telling it to someone." Charlie says to Vaggie.

Vaggie chuckles, "Don't worry. I enjoy your
theatrics. Are you okay?" Vaggie asks as she sits down with Charlie.

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

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

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.

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

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

"Alright, come on. Alastor says he has something to show us." Vaggie informs Charlie. Vaggie 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.
