Lucifer was escorted by a royal guard. He made his way inside the familiar Mansion.
He visited this place so many times over these past years. He always wanted to make amends with Darius.
The last lord of the underworld, father of Azzazal or now Darius asked him to promise him, that he will try his best to make his son not hate him again.
Lucifer too tried multiple times, but he always failed. He cannot fault Darius for this. Father and son got so many misunderstandings between them. It's a miracle Darius even came to visit him in the Underworld.
All for the love of Althea. He is glad that they both found each other again.
He was so lost in his thoughts, he bumped into something soft and tiny.
"Ouch," a female voice said from the ground.
I glanced down and notice a girl rubbing her elbow. I couldn't see her face, it's covered with her hair. I got this protective feeling towards this girl.
"I am sorry," I said and tried to pull he
"Sorry for making you guys wait," Lucifer said as he made his way inside King Darius Study."No issues Lord Lucifer, we just arrived ourselves" Master vampire Lucian greeted him.He got up from his chair and hugged the Lord of the underworld" they patted each other on their backs."King Darius" Lucifer gave the King of the shifters a brotherly hug."Long time no see Your highness" Lucifer teased Darius.Darius raised his eyebrows, but a small smile was playing on his lips."What can I say, I didn't like your guest services much in there. And it tends to get a litter hotter over there," he made fun of the Lord."Really?, how could you do that Lucifer? I am very disappointed in you" Lucian said dramatically."You are the one to talk, you kidnapped Thea in the broad daylight" Darius remarked drily."What? you dared to kidnap my sister Lucian? I didn't expect this from you at all" It's Lucifer's turn to tease Lucian."Hey, that
"Spells can only travel in a single plane. We all live on earth. But Lord Lucifer and the Demons live under the ground near the core of the earth. The dark creatures live between the sky and the land. So, the spells cannot move past the planes easily. That is why they were unaffected" the Witch lord explained the logic behind the spells not attacking the Demons like they attacked the others."So that implies, even the dark creatures cannot go into the underworld?" Lucian asked curiously."No Master Lucian, they can. The underworld opened its gates many years ago for all of us to enter and exit at will. Their gateway leads to another plane on earth, where the elements act differently than they act on the ground. The spells were guided by the elements on the ground. Even if they could reach the gates, they won't be able to cross them. The air in the underworld is hotter than the air on the ground. Usually, it expands and pushes itself out, when the gates were opened. So it
"What happened" Lucian becomes anxious looking at Lucifer, who is now as pale as a sheet.Lucifer looks at the picture like it might come to life and kill them all right then and there."Lucifer" Darius's voice penetrates his fog and he finally lifts his head to notice the others in the room."He is called the Apocalypse" he reveals the truth which was told to him centuries ago by a lady and confirmed by God himself."What?" the other looked at him expectantly waiting for him to disclose what he knew about the picture."He is apocalypse " Lucifer repeated in a daze."Yes, that part of someone in that picture being apocalypse, we understood that. But who is it? and why does he giving you so much stress" Lucian asked in a concerned voice."When I was still a warrior Angel, a human elderly woman said that I would be Apocalypse" he murmured absentmindedly.Everyone in the room froze at this statement.But what none of them understood
Everyone in the room heard what Lucifer said. If what he said is right, then he is apocalypse."Like the woman predicted, I fell from grace. Like Althea wished near the tree of destiny, she followed behind me. Then, if I find love, I will become Apocalypse" Lucifer concluded."I think you are looking at it in the wrong way," the lord of the Witches said hesitantly."What do you mean?" Lucifer inquired."According to what you said, yours and her highness queen Thea's futures are weaved together. That means, you fell and she fell too. This time she found love and you will follow suit and find your partner. Then, both of you will face the Apocalypse" the witch lord concluded."This makes sense" Darius murmured."You mean, I am not the Apocalypse like she predicted," Lucifer asked in a hopeful voice."No, she never said you will be the Apocalypse. The only time she related you in her statement was when she said you will fall from grace. Th
All the lords followed Darius out of his study.Darius saw Ophelia, Max, Thea, Melanie, and Amber laughing at something.Good, everyone I need is in one place. I don't need to search for them, thought Darius.Time for tasting your own medicine my friends, Darius smirked. They teased Darius relentlessly when he found Thea. Now it's their turn. They gave him ammo against them unknowingly."Amber, how are you feeling today," Darius asked her.If she is not well, then he cannot force her to accompany Lucifer. That girl is fragile, but according to what Lucifer revealed, he protective towards the girl, which is good for her.Lucifer's ears perked up with the mention of the girl, whom he bumped into earlier. Unknown to him, she invoked a kind of protective instinct inside him which only Althea used to make him feel. But his thoughts about this little human is far from brotherly, which bothered him greatly."I am feeling well, Your Highness"
Amber ran into the kitchen and drank a glass of water.She then took a deep breath to compose herself. In all her 20 years of life, she was never this confused with a guy.She was always composed and well-behaved. But, she could open her mouth for the life of her.King Darius wanted her to act as the host, for the lord of the underworld. But she hardly spoke to him.He must get a feeling that she is rude.'What is wrong with you? You are acting like an idiot' Amber scolded herself.'You go up there, give him the water he asked for, and politely ask him if he needs anything else' Amber gave herself a mental pep talk."If only, it's that simple" she muttered to herself.She fetched a pitcher filled with water and made her way towards the east wing.The mansion has two wings, east and west.The east wing has the advantage of the lake. There will be access to the lake from any room in the east wing.
Elsewhere in the middle of the forest inside the pack, which is used by the shifters for their runs, Lucian was walking leisurely.Ophelia was irritated by his behavior but dare not to speak it out loud.His warning still fresh in her mind, she tried not to push him further.What he did is wrong, he might have had his reasons, but kidnapping people who belong to the shifters is considered sin in her books.King Darius and Thea must have forgiven this good-for-nothing creature, but she is not planning to do the same.She got more irritated by his leisure pace, as if they are walking in a park.This is the pack forest, it is spread for a hundred acres, beyond the mansion and the Lake.The Lake is spread throughout the wilderness, nurturing birds and animals. There are so many wild animals in the forest, and none of them are dangerous.They were walking for about 2 hours. It's too dark and Li is too tired. She had her training early in th
Here in the west wing of the mansion, Amber was in the arms of the Demon lord.She is holding him tightly around his midsection and somehow ended in his lap.Her head rested on his bare shoulder and legs folded in his lap."It's ok, you are alright. No one will harm you. I am here" Lucifer whispered.He never thought he has in him to console a disoriented female.But here he is, with a panicked Amber in his lap and hugging him tightly for comfort."You don't understand, he will come when it's dark. He stays in the dark and lives in confined rooms like this" she said in a panicked voice.She is scared of him. If only he could protect her from her fears.She suffered so much in his hands, it's no wonder she is this scared.Humans who have gone through all these kinds of scary things will go insane. They will lose their minds and act crazy.But she is tougher and stronger than all of them. despite being a human, the most fragi
