Hey guys! I'm excited about this book, are you? Do you think that there are things that aren't clear, because sometimes I think something makes sense and then when somebody reads it, it doesn't, so comment and vote. 

Recap.

Lucifer never noticed it before, but God has scars from that fateful day, as well as Lucifer.

He knows that he has to save the people, he has to save the world!

End of recap.

Lucifer's flame was no longer present. His burning rage and fear have quietened down. He knows that in order to rule he needs to be calm and collected, he needs to be rational. So, his eyes slowly locked away all the little things that scare him, and all the doubts and worries. His eyes locked away his emotions. 

He started walking to the edge of the bad side, hoping that he will find something that will lead him back home. 

After walking for a couple days, he realised that he was lost. Despair slowly ate him up from the inside, he knew that his chances of finding home is thin. 

"What you doing there? Your emotions are sure messed up!" Lucifer heard a voice say, looking around he couldn't find anyone, "Up here, dummy," he looked up and reeled back. What he saw was something that shouldn't  be here anymore. 

"Wh-wh-what are you doing here?" He stuttered, then cursing himself he straightened his spine, stopping fear invading him, his voice when he spoke was ice cold, "What do you want? You shouldn't be here, aren't you from the council?"

"Well yes, little boy, I am from the council and I'm here to take you home. Well, for me to help you, you need to learn three important lessons," the witch chuckled. 

"I don't want nor need your help, and never call be boy again," Lucifer said battling the demons inside him, not wanting to show the witch what he could do because he didn't know if he will kill the witch with his fire or ice if he erupted.

"Lesson number one, do not let your emotions control you, and you won't kill me, it takes more than a measly fire to take me down. But there is something else, isn't there? The prophecy said about the fire, what else are you hiding boy?" The witch said, deliberately gloating him.

He froze, they knew about the fire, but not the ice. A plan began to form in his head, knowing that the witch can either feel or read his mind, he put up a barrier made of ice around his thoughts, he prayed that it will work.

"What are you planning? Why can't I feel your thoughts?" The witch muttered, looking worried, she went down to the ground, looking closely at the boy, pitying and loathing him, she knew what the boy still had to go though and knew that he will prevail, because he is strong, he was the son of the- 

"What are you thinking about?" Putting emphasis on the you he looked closely at the witch, he knew that they saved everyone from darkness when he was just a boy, he knew that they never showed themselves so the motive of this witch's arrival was unknown. 

"Nothing, little boy. Tell me, why do you think I am here?" Her voice was no longer stony, it was real, normal.

"Your motives are unknown as no-one saw you from the time that you eradicated the darkness...is something going to happen, another darkness?" He said coldly, without expression, mastering any thoughts and feeling in his head. 

"No, little princ-boy, nothing like that. Never again. I am here to teach you three important lessons that will help you rule the lands," She said, looking squarely into Lucifer's eyes, wanting him to see the truth. 

Lucifer decided that he had enough, and with a burning need to get away, everything around him froze, the witch screamed as ice spread through her body freezing her skin, then her blood and organs. She looked at the boy and smiled, "This won't stop me," she whispers before her eyes closed. 

Lucifer stared at the witch that he just killed, with emotions so complicated he couldn't explain, he fell to his knees and screamed at the world, a sound so pained that all birds stopped chirping and everything turned deadly silent. In this silence, Lucifer heard a crack, then his ice shattered and the witch opened her eyes. 

"Come on, a little ice won't hold me for long. But it's good to see that you have some morals. I am not going to hurt you, I am here to teach you three lessons and I will go. Look, I know you are scared and you don't know yourself. You're confused and scared, I am truly sorry for adding to your burdens. I promise not rile you up again," The witch said everything hoping that the boy will hear her, she wanted to know his limits, and now that she knows them, she knows where to start.

Lucifer stayed silent, mulling over the witches words, he knew that she can't be killed and trying to get away will be proved fruitless, as she has magic and as he already knows she can fly. "Okay," One word, uttered once again in the icy voice made the witch smile. 

"Let's get the lessons started," The witch smiled and golden light erupted out of her, like an aura and her magic started attacking him. 

Haha, cliffhanger. Enjoy!
