"A rational creature (that is, a creature with intellect and will) can sin. If it be unable to sin, this is a gift of grace, not a condition of nature. While angels were yet uncertified they could sin. And some of them did sin."
"The devil did not sin in the very instant of his creation. When a perfect cause makes a nature, the first operation of that nature must be in line with the perfection of its cause. Hence the devil was not created in wickedness. He, like all the angels, was created in the state of sanctifying grace."
Prolog.
Thousands of ear shattering screams could be heard from the pits of Hell. As Jezebeth quickly strode down the dark and damp hallway, he paused at an entry way, and stuck his head in. Inside was Asmodeus, demon of lust, sensuality and luxury. Asmodeus was pacing back and forth. In the middle of the small dark room was a female human. Now it wouldn't be uncommon to see Asmodeus with a female human, but he wasn't doing anything with her. Jezebeth smirked, a plan already forming in his head. Being the demon of lies and deceit, ploys at becoming a higher demon always went well for Jezebeth.
He listened in.
"You want me to do what?" Asmodeus asked.
The human looked up, her vivid green eyes blurry with tears. "I want you to break up my parents. What they have done is despicable. Their actions will affect everyone. They need to feel the pain that they have caused-"she paused" me."
Asmodeus snapped his head towards the green eyed girl. He laughed. "Oh this is too good! A good little human begging a demon to break up mommy and daddy!" he bent over, laughing so hard. He wiped a nonexistent tear from his eye, and then quit laughing. Asmodeus crouched down so he was at eye level with the girl. "Do you know what the price is for making deals with demon, little girl?"
"Yes, servitude." She whispered, looking down at her lap where her hands were folded.
Asmodeus chuckled, and summoned his demon knife, Silence. He held out the knife, blade first.
"Wait! Isn't there something else I can do?" the girl sobbed. He withdrew the knife.
"What could you have that I could possibly want?"
"Information! A-about-"
"Stop!" Asmodeus commanded, his eyes turning red. "Jezebeth, how long do you plan on standing in my doorway?"
Jezebeth jumped back, surprised that Asmodeus had noticed him. He quickly put on a smirk, and walked through the doorway.
"Hello old friend, I was just walking by and heard this lovely little girl cry. Almost breaks my missing heart. How could you be so cruel?"
Asmodeus snorted, "Cruel you say?" He waved his arms around, "We are in Hell. Besides, you were not just walking along, you've been standing there for awhile. Now, go find me a soothsayer."
Jezebeth couldn't disobey an order from him, and Asmodeus knew that. With a grunt and a stiff half bow, Jezebeth left the room.
Asmodeus ran his large tanned hand through his sandy blonde hair and down his demonically angelic face. "What is your information?"
"It's about a-angels. They- wait! Promise me you will let me go free!" Her green eyes turned hard.
He smiled, finally a human with at least half of a brain. "I promise, now spill."
"It- it is possible for cross breading. Like human-angel, Human-demon-."
"Everyone knows that, stupid child. But they don't stay alive for long. Only a hundred years or so, then they disintegrate."
"If a human-angel and a demon angel, um have kids, then the gene stays alive and that child can pass as any race. They can make a new race."
All of the color drained from Amodeus's face. It has never been done. The half breeds were always thought as infertile. Barren. But with this knowledge.
"How did you figure out such a thing?" He demanded, his eyes sweeping over her face, looking for any signs of a lie.
"Its not important." She muttered.
Then it clicked. "Oh my. Mommy and Daddy were very naughty." He tisked. "Now why would a child of the light, such as yourself, would want your precious parents to split up?"
"They lied to me." She said causally, her eyes drifted to the left.
'Stupid child, you can't lie to a demon.' Asmodeus thought, a plan forming in his mind.
"Fine, I will break up your parents and let you go."
'For now' He added mentally. Asmodeus handed Silence to the girl.
She took the blade and quickly made one X in the middle of her palm and held it out. He took the knife from her, and put his mouth to her palm, whispering in Latin under his breath.
A dark red light filled the room, weaving around the two beings, binding them together. The wind picked up, spreading the stench of rotting flesh, and sulfur. The girl's breathing hitched up a notch as, as Asmodeus licked her palm, finishing the deal.
As the wind died down, the girl collapsed on the floor, shaking and twitching from the surge of demon power running through her.
"You have twenty minutes to run, then when I come back from breaking your parents up, you are mine." Asmodeus hissed. Large black wings sprouted from his back, proof to what he was.
One of the fallen.
