Bow Down

"NEXT!"

Long endless lines, the ones humans dread, the ones they spend more then a quarter of their lives waiting in. Grocery stores, fast food restaurants. And then those mental lines, placing themselves in them all the time.
"Just one more credit till i graduate", "just a couple more hours till i leave" "just a few more pushes"

Really humans torture themselves, we just take their ways and apply it. harshly. When it's all said and done, after you've taken your last miserable breath of that air that you humans oh so toxicifed, you'll be decided on just like that, no kneeling before some high priest, no chance to beg forgiveness for the sins you consciously made, no judgement day, it's decided right then and there.

In all the stories you hear it's always about how no matter the wrong doing you've committed in your life you can always repent, you will always be forgiven. Love to break it too you but that's not the case, you did what you did, suffer the consequences, end of discussion.

That's how we punish them, we put them in a line depending on the severity of the crimes committed. You've got you're simple levels, infidelity, high class felonies, etc. and then you've got you're higher class ones, murders, child molesters, rapests, trump supporters you know,

We place them in 2 lines, you stand, you wait, and you replay every bad moment in your life. Every fight, death, crime, pain, on repeat for all of eternity. Of course the demons get bored from time to time, that's how souls become demons. When its so twisted, broken, and malicious it doesn't take much to covert it from the torturie to torture. We offer them a deal, to get off the table, if they'll put souls on. Most agree, enduring constant pain and agony thats endless and different every time, well it's just not something a human can take for long. There are the ones who don't take the offer, the "strong" ones, think maybe they doubt the boredness of the demons there, they have nothing to do and you're just a bloody broken puppet being controlled by a horrifically careless puppet master.

Demons aren't free willing of course. You know everyone bows down to someone, Angels flap theyre pretty, delicate, wings at the man billions of people were brainwashed into believing. And then you have the opposite, the one the demons kiss the ground for, the one who wrongs the rights, flips the nines. The one who all humans blame their wrong doings on.

Don't get it wrong there are people who serve others but they're no we're near as... popular as the guys up and down stairs.

"Don't invoke his name in the presence of the lord"

Lady i can promise you. your "lord" is not listening and don't act like you don't love the way the name just rolls off the tongue.

Come on, say it. L...Lu...

Lucifer.

Him and God have had conflicts since the literal beginning of time. Everyone knows the church stories and for the most part they're accurate when discussing the kicking out of the eldest winged freak. It goes wrong when it starts to say why the big G did it.

You see, Lucy was a free spirt you could say. He wasn't too fond of the idea of hairless little naked brats running around his playground. but he made the best out of it, doing what he did best. He convinced a lady named Eve to eat an apple from the "forbidden tree" It wasn't really forbidden, it was a test for Eve and Adam that G to the O to the D was giving them. Lucy could care less and just wanted to have some fun.

Like i said, he was a free spirt. But big daddy wasn't too happy about it. Issues began to arise more and more when the white winged freaks turned against Lucifer. He felt unwanted, so he did what any unwanted person would do, he left. But of course before that he through a tantrum and "played" with a few of this dads action figures.

Since that moment he was deemed "the devil". And God, well he didn't make it better by having his little toys blame him for every bad things in their lives. Lucy wasn't mad though, he had his own kingdom, own rules, own servants, and most importantly he had power over something.

Lucifer is the prime example of "how can something so beautiful, be bad?" and that leads us here.

Someone didn't think Ole King of down under was so bad. Because she gave him a kid. A boy. She was human, he wouldn't have fallen for any hairless monkey but she had something he liked. And with a son, he had a heir. Someone he knew he'd raise to be Hells ultimate ruler, the meanest, hell focused, half demon, half human, the pit had ever seen.

Sadly she wouldn't let him pick the name. So say hello to...
