The Fallen Angel(The Destroyer Sequel)

The Road to the King

The map took me through a few states. It seemed longer than I had expected but I made it work. Stops along the way were mandatory because even being an immortal I felt like normal. I had normal habits like eating, drinking, restroom breaks. I had made stops at hotels, ate then checked out. This road was going to be long since I was halfway and traffic was a bitch through some states. I had to make it to Colorado Springs which in my mind I thought it was full of mountains and forests. I didn't know what it looked like since I've never been there but I guess I will find out once I get there. On the way I'd pick up snacks and supplies, but one day I was almost there and I felt like I was being watched. I made a glance behind me to a teenage boy, almost 6', bright blue eyes, blonde hair. He was wearing a thick sweatshirt, dark grey jeans and a silver shirt. I made eye contact on accident and saw something I've never seen before, there was a mirror behind him and I saw two black wings connected to his back but it didn't show up when I was looking right at him. He smirked and walked away, I went after him but he was gone, just like that within seconds. I got what I needed, paid for it and booked it to the mustang, he was leaning against the car with a cold smile on his face. This time his eyes were bright red and in his pupils, it seemed like an endless tunnel. Like he had no soul. He laughed and said "how is it, that a man like you would be seeing a man like me? I know what you are, and you have no idea what I am. So I'll make this offer to you once. Let me create chaos on this earth and I'll let you live" being stunned and stubborn I respond "I know what you are, who you are and what you're here for. You do not know everything about me, so I'll make you the offer to back off and we'll be good" he chuckled but gave me a cold stare "this vessel, you see, is a human. You hurt me you hurt the human but I've collected his memories, such a shame that this child was underestimated. It's a good thing he can hold the power I wield Jackson. One day this boy will rule for me while I take earth. He will be the new devil while I become the new god. Side by side we will take over, including Olympus. You are not wise to walk this path boy but you'll learn soon" somehow the thing inside the boy left, the bright blue eyes faded in and he collapsed with me catching him. I put him in the back seat and drove through the mountain called Pikes Peak, I saw the forests and the vegetation and thought that it could've been a beautiful place to live. I stopped at a hotel to get the boy a comfy bed. The lady at the desk looked at me strange but was ok with me putting him in a room with me. I had to act natural which worked. A few hours he woke up, slowly at first but then freaked out once he saw where he was. "Where the hell am I? Who are you? What happened to me? How did I get here? Did I get drunk last night?" I told him to calm down and that I would explain everything. "You were possessed by Lucifer, the devil, ruler of hell" he was shocked but said "I know who he is numb-nuts, at least I got to know part of him when he took over, I'm guessing I'm the only one that can control his power?" "Yes boy, since you have had a 'backstory' and had some experience with everything he feeds off of, you can control it" looking like he was having fun with this he gets up "so basically I could be Lucifer? Hell yeah I can get revenge on my exes I can fly I can have a super cool look" and he started laughing at his own comment. I looked at him and smiled. I had to figure out how he could hold so much power. Remembering the fact I learned how to tap into the mind I asked him if I could look through his memories "erm why would you want to do that? Isn't that only learned by monks? Well I guess you could if it helps you" I asked him to lay down, I closed my eyes and concentrated. I opened my eyes and put my hand on his forehead, immediately feeling a surge of  energy. I heard yelling and screaming, all this rage and pain in his emotions. I saw everything, his memories full of being misunderstood, of being left alone. His friends had abandoned him, his girlfriend had cheated on him. His family didn't trust him, and he went through the feeling of so much loss at such a young age. He's wanted to just scream and yell, to just take out the ones who deserted him. He had suicidal thoughts. I dug deeper until I found the source, somehow there was a date to it. October 24, 2011. I saw a nurse, pink outfit and a bunch of people with their dogs. It was a veterinarian hospital. The memory showed the boy sitting on a bench, head down. He was allowed in to the room last minute. He looked down on the ground his dog was in, the dog breathing it's final breath. The boy tried to say something but all that came out was "now let me tell you something..." but it was too late. He was dragged out of the room by his mother. Never to see his dog again. I got out of his mind and even I broke into tears. After a second or two I stopped and the boy looked at me, curious to what I had just happened. We both packed up. I had to buy him clothes and told him that he had to be away from home for a while. He accepted and he got as much as he could from his house that night. He had plenty of knives and he took his dads pistol and his shotgun and loaded it up in the trunk of my car. We had gotten clothes for him earlier after leaving the hotel. The next morning I had driven until we hit a place we could take a break. I spawned a small house a few miles away from the gas station. I taught him how to fight and how to block for the next fee days wondering if I could get him to be as good as I am. He practiced shooting until he felt like he was comfortable. A week had gone by and I decided to give him Riptide. I told him that even though it looks like a pen, with one click it turns into a sword, "it will take you a while, but if you put ur mind to it Riptide can become your greatest ally." He had the look I had when I first got Riptide. I looked at him to see what he had become, and I had this faint feeling of pride in myself. This had been something I haven't done in all the years I've lived. He then walked towards me and hugged me, for a moment I felt human with every positive emotion and decided to hug him back. We ordered pizza and watched tv in the house that night, celebrated the fact that he was ready for both a mental,physical and emotional fight. His physical characteristics were almost identical to mine except for the immortality, which he knew and constantly wanted to be granted. The day before Lucifer decided to stop moving, I warped to Olympus with the boy, I finally learned his name but it was so much easier to call him boy. I talked with the gods, and Hunter's wish was granted. He was an immortal. Soon I was going to tell him stories of Tartarus. Soon he will want to be in Tartarus to gain the experience and scars as I did. All of that would happen after Lucifer. After a fight I didn't even know how to fight him. This will be a fight to remember.
