"Old friend, i have wonderful news!" yelled a man, with soft blue eyes and a gentle smile. His long black hair swayed as he walked into the palace hall to face a man seated on the throne. The man was tall and burly, with short brown hair and a scar over his right eye, and when he saw the others carefree attitude and lack of courtesy, his eyes flashed with killing intent for a small moment, before a smile took over his face. He stood up and walked to the man, spreading his arms wide as if to give him a hug.
"Lucifer, what brings you here? I haven't seen you in decades!" said the man as the two locked in a hug briefly. Lucifer stepped back, still holding the man by the shoulders, with a giant smile covering his face. He was clearly extremely happy. "I thought you should be the first i tell Adonai. I'm happy to say my breakthrough to the god realm was successful. My foundation is still a bit shaky though!" he said with a laugh.
Adonai plastered a smile on his face, while he concealed the hatred and anger in his heart. He had always kept Lucifer close to him because he believed himself stronger, and thought he could control him. But now that they were on the same level of strength, these thoughts were replaced by only one. The desire to kill. Adonai pulled out a bottle of win from thin air along with 2 cups and led Lucifer out onto a balcony. The palace was located atop a mountain and this balcony overlooked beautiful sight, with rivers flowing and forests as far as the eye could see.
"I've been saving this wine for 2000 years for a special occasion. i see no occasion more fitting than this one, old friend" he said as he turned to face Lucifer. He poured the wine and they held up their glasses to toast. "To the future, brother" said Lucifer in an amiable tone. Adonai nodded and downed his drink rapidly, without saying a word. "Such a waste of fine wine brother, you're supposed to sip it and savor the taste" said Lucifer with a laugh. Adonai's eye twitched as he heard this.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Lucifer rose his cup and sipped it slowly, swishing the wine in his mouth as if to soak up every taste it had to offer. Adonai let out a slight smile, looking at it could cause ones bones to chill. "to the future indeed" he whispered in a soft voice. Lucifer continued to sip his wine, when he felt a sharp pain in his chest. the wine glass fell from his hands, as he looked down to see a sword, stabbed so deep only the hilt could be seen, passing through his chest. He looked up at Adonai, his eyes shaking and tears beginning to form. "wh-why brother" he said as he fell to one knee, using his hand to stop himself from collapsing completely.
"This is the position you should have taken in front of me. We were never equals 'brother'" he said in a chilly tone as he walked away. Lucifer finally couldn't support himself any longer and collapsed to the floor. His vision blurring, he could barely move, and darkness was starting to overcome him. He grit his teeth as the anger finally became unbearable, his thousands of years of cultivation, all for nothing. Staring at that now distant figure he muttered his final words, just loud enough to cause a chill to run down Adonai's spine. "I will kill you"
