The banquet was set perfectly, in the grand hall of their castle. Proudly stood at the ready the four took their places to greet each guest. Lawrence was stationed at the secondary throne were Lucifer would sit, Earl stood by the tables ready to seat people, Lamia waited at the door ready to great everyone in, while Abigor sat on her throne as the ruler observing it all.

Finally, the clock struck one and the place started to fill with guests, all of which who were favoured by Lucifer or owed him greatly. All dressed to impress they gratefully entered, settling into the room well.

Some of the men were short and stout while others had pig features and others resembled nightmarish creatures. With a few missing limbs to add to their terror however, the women were like snakes beautiful and graceful to every fine point. However, viscously vile to the core their beauty hid their true battle scars. It was a spectacular array of guests however, they set your teeth on edge. Abigor had spent the last few minutes acquainting herself with everyone; no matter how strange.

Until the final guest entered the main host and reason for this banquet; Lucifer. His long dark hair had been tied high and to style it well he wore a emperor's hat. Matching Abigor's perfectly, almost like he tested her authority, and to cover his body he wore a silk tight suit. That cloaked his figure perfectly and to complete the attire his black, hazelnut shoes shone brightly. Grasping the attention of the entire room, striking awe and fear into everyone's hearts. Those who owes him greatly prayed for release while, those who he favoured smiled greedily eager to please their master.

Stepping forward, with grace taking the stage in ease, Lucifer approached Abigor. Behind him the doors closed, as everyone held their breath in silence until Lucifer cunningly grinned. He then spoke satisfied,
" Well I'm impressed, do let the party begin".
He then moved to the second throne and grandly took his seat. Acknowledging his brothers presence Lucifer gave a simple smirk, and they greeted each other in a small talk conversation.

The party was set, all Abigor had to do now was keep a close eye on everyone. For although their master was here with them she didn't trust any of the guests invited. Lucifer sure knew how to scare people.

Relaxing slightly by the peace of this odd banquet, Abigor settled her eyes on Earl. Who greeted her with a small smile and a wink. Their eyes sparkled with delight as their secret encounter was acknowledged by each other. They were happy.

Meanwhile, Lawrence was quite finished with his discussion with his brother. He wanted to desperately escape to Lamia however, Lucifer had other ideas. Especially, after seeing his younger brother give Lamia a few respectful glances and passionate winks. Dear older brother Lucie wanted to have some fun, and what better fun could you have then tease your little brother right?
