Back at the depths of Hell, the Duke - Bael, sat once more on his long vacated throne.
He kept his costume-the long gown and the fake halo he once found in the Ark of the Covenant. At first, he believed it could hide him from Cerberus but after it failed, it was nothing of value but for twisted adoration. Little did he know, the fake halo held a secret far more potent than mere vanity.
On his encounter with Camael himself, it masked his demonic essence from even the keenest eyes of angels. He uncovered this truth when Camael ascended back to heaven without dragging him back to hell.
This realization ignited a daring ambition within Bael. If he could conceal his true identity, he could infiltrate Heaven itself. There, hidden behind his deceptive halo, he could uncover forbidden truths that even Lucifer, in his prime, had not dared to seek. And with the most powerful demon out of the equation, it is the perfect opportunity for him to seek dominion over hell.
But to reach heaven, he needs to find the Stairway to Heaven. He knows he cannot find it alone. And who other soul has that thirst for a chance in heaven than his former companion - Halo.
