Between: Hope and Despair

Chapter 20: The Beginnings

A man with black wings, long black hair, a gray vest, no shirt, and long black pants and appears to be in his early 20's, (in human terms) is staring at the night sky on top of a large rock.

Man: "My role is detestable."

He makes a fist towards the sky.

Man: "The Original One gave my people hell as our role. I lack the power to change it."

He lets his fist fall to his side.

Man: "I'd better return home before my father blows up another servant."

The man stands up and begins to walk when a loud BOOM is heard behind him.

Man: "What's that?"

A glowing doorway appears and a man around thirty and in a silver suit steps through.

Man 2: "Where am I?"

The man examines his natural surroundings.

Man 2: "Project  Axiom was a success!"

The black winged man assumes a defensive stance.

Man: "Who are you?"

Christopher: "I am Christopher Zeil, the latest president of HoloArms in Koress."

Man: "The land of advancement."

Christopher: "I am here as a test of our Axiom Project, or to simplify dimension jumping."

The black winged man begins to grin.

Lucifer: "I am Lucifer, one who can bring this shattered world perfection."

Christopher: "Shattered world? What tells you this with technology as primitive as yours?"

Lucifer looks upon his back.

Lucifer: "I have a piece of the blood of a god inside me."

Christopher: "(intrigued) So your saying gods exist and your gifted with some level of power?"

Lucifer: "I understand one from Koress can be a little-"

Christopher: "No one would accept my theories."

Lucifer: "A Koressian who believes in a higher power?"

Christopher: "My home is full of the greedy and worthless. Tell me Lucifer, how can you bring perfection?"

Lucifer: "By uniting my shattered blood from the six pieces."

Christopher: "Six pieces?"

Lucifer: "The other half here in Toriph and the ones in the remaining five that includes your Koress."

Christopher: "So a piece resides in my home?"

Lucifer: "Only one who has descended from the Original One can handle the power, but would you allow your dimension jump technology to be used as a means to achieve this goal?"

Lucifer holds out his hand.

Christopher: "May we purge the unworthy, partner."

The two shake hands.

Lucifer: "Seems as though you reject humans."

Christopher: "If this God wanted humans, then why did he create them in a way such that defines greed and pointless?"

They let go.

Christopher: "I shall take care of the tech, but if you truly know what's going on, then can you find others who possess our way of thinking?"

Lucifer thinks for a moment.

Lucifer: "(grinning) I already know one."

The doorway reappears.

Christopher: "Then let this wondrous twist of fate bring us to our goal!"

Christopher walks through as Lucifer casually walks home.

Lucifer: "I can kill two birds with one stone, free my people and eliminate the worthless."

After a few minutes of walking, Lucifer arrives at the entrance to a flaming pit of pure hell.

Lucifer: "Now father will do anything to free us."

Lucifer jumps down the pit and lands in front of a large stone palace a mile down and is surrounded by magma waterfalls.

Lucifer: "Time to be free."

Lucifer steps inside to find a large throne room and a man you looks much older than Lucifer, but with a strange black sword in his hand is murdering a young woman in a maid outfit.

Older Man: "There you are Lucifer!"

He stops on the edge of the woman's life.

Lucifer: "I apologize father, but I have found a way for us to be free from this role."

The man calms down.

Older Man: "I'm listening."

Lucifer explains the entire discussion with Christopher.

Injured Maid: "What do you suggest Lord Nero?"

Nero grins.

Nero: "I believe that we've got a war to fight."

Lucifer: "I'll need to obtain the blood of the Angel Royals as well."

Lucifer puts a plan together in his head.

Lucifer: "Good thing Leah already wishes for my heart."

Lucifer begins to walk away.

Lucifer: "We'll initiate combat when you believe we should father."

Lucifer walks away.
