I awaken to an arouma like no other, it hits my senses like a tidal wave. Sulpher. I go to sit up and and my hand immediatly is called to my head as an explosion of pain hits my brain. White specks fill my vision as the room suddenly begins to stir. Unable to handle the pain I panic and try to get help. As I prop myself up upon the bed and take my first step of the day alarm bells ring inside my head. Somethings wrong I'm not supposed to feel like this. I felt fine yesterday. I try to scream for help but it comes out as a weak and raspy plea. And suddenly I feel a hand upon my back. I turn my head as far as I can without it flaring up in pain. And what I see would haunt any humans dreams for there entire childhood and probabaly well into their adult years. A humanoid shape with red scales in patches all about its body with visious looking claws and teeth with a long thin tail with a knife sized blade at the end. It rears back its claws and then it speaks in a language I feel I shouldnt understand but I do. "For the great one!" And then its claws lunged towards my head.

"Brother didnt you hear the alarms you must get t..." Michael had rushed into my room holding a spear. His eyes go big as he pulls his spear over head and throws it into the creatures shoulder. It lets out a hiss as it removes the now bloody spear from its shoulder and orange blood squirts out of its shoulder like a fountain. "Death to the new ones!" It hisses out as it rushes the now weaponless michael. As the creature begins to draw closer to michael he whips his hand back in a grasping motion and suddenly his spear is back in his hands. Miachael does a spin move with the spear that puts the monster on its back before slamming the point of the spear in the middle of its back and pinning the creature on the floor.

And just like that my dizziness and pain is gone. " what was that thing I ask?" Michael looks up at me and then back to the bloody almost dead creature. "It was just a low teir demon normally harmless to arch angels but considering your a newborn you would've been vulnerable to it's sorcery." I begin to stand and I suddenly feel a great power flood through me. A blazing rage like nothing I've ever felt. Convertere ad pulverem I mutter under my breath and suddenly the demon catches a flame and in seconds is turned to ash. Michales looks to me "Turn to dust? Those are quite dark words of power where did you learn that in just one day of being alive?" I look up at him confused what are you talking about I didnt say anything like that? I asked what that thing is? I say pointing to the now pile of ash on the floor. My eyes go wide "Where'd it go?"

Michael looks to me worry evident upon his face "You really don't remember finishing it off with magic?" "What like creation magic? No I haven't been taught to do that yet." Michaels eyes go wide before he grabs my wrist and begins to take me down the hall towards the central chamber. Upon arrival I see all of my brothers and my sister all kneeling decked out in armor and each with their own unique weapon at their sides. And in front of them is Mother and father. Father looks towards Michael and I "Report Michael." Michael kneels down to the ground. "Upon arriving to escort Lucifer to safety I found a lucifer on the ground and a demon upon him. I then proceeded to fight the monster before finally detaining it. After Lucifer got up his eyes glowed most crimson and he uttered the words Convertere ad pulverem and burned the demon to ashes. Then we arrived here Father."

Father looks to me "Lucifer when did you take the time to do magic it hasnt even been a full twenty four hours since your creation?" I look at Michael slack jawed. "Father I don't know what Michael is talking about! One second the demon is on the floor squirming under Michaels spear the next its gone." Fathers face turns to one of concern. "You don't remember doing any magic what so ever? How curious, come her Luci I must scan." I take several steps forward and kneel at fathers feet just as the rest of my siblings had done. He puts his hand upon my shoulder before yanking it away. "A curse was placed upon you though it appears to have mostly dissapated by now. But I since something much darker within you Boy. It's frighteningly familiar" He mutters that last part under his breath "You are all dismissed I must ponder!"

Everyone goes thier seperate ways and I am left all alone in the central chamber with Mother and Father. "What did you mean when you said I had something much darker within me Father?" He appears to be very lost in thought so much so that your question doesnt even register with the God. Mother walks towards me and takes me by the hand "Lets go for a walk." She drags me through several hallways before we arrive at a balcony that oversees the entirety of our city. " Your father is a very strong man, the strongest in fact, so strong in fact that he was gifted the power of creation.

Before he made your race, the angels and arch angels he created many other species. But sadly strength doesn't create perfection. Your father created the demons and once he figured out how vile some of them could be he cast them out of heaven. And of course they retaliated led by a devil of a creature. Your Father is strong but he doesnt have it in his heart to eradicate an entire species. So he made something to do it for him." " The angels" I mutter. mother looks upon me with a face of approval. "Thats right Luci, and your father is terrified that the angels could turn out just like those demons. That is what he is pondering right now do you understand? He needs to know if you could be like them in the future."

I feel a wetness in my eyes, "But i'm his son!... I .. would never try and hurt him or any of my brothers or sisters." she looks at me a sadness in her eyes "And you will always be my son Lucifer but you have to understand those demons were his children too. And they tried to have him killed all because they wanted to have the kingdom to themselves. They thought they desereved it. He just doesn't want a repeat of that happening especially with an arch angel. He made you guys with divine sparks from his and my bodies. I am the goddess of the elements while he is the God of creation so in a way he gives you life while I forge your bodies. You arch angels are living and walking demi gods." She wipes muy tears off my face and grabs my hand now why dont you go rest up you have a busy day tomorrow. Its your first day at the academy.
