To me, the walk to Lucifer’s house looked like a simple walk across any old regular town, but the mansion we approached was large and extravagant, even if it was entirely black. It looked like when a house nearly burns down and all that’s left is black ash around the walls, but it was roughly ten times bigger than any regular house.
We approached the mansion with large twin metal doors that opened upon our arrival, Damien said that that only happens for family members. “Hm, seems like Luci fixed the creak in the door,” Damien said very matter-of-factly before we took a step inside, he smiled at me then and with a shrug of his shoulder, he said, “He must want to impress you,” was that supposed to be a joke?
When you first walk in, you notice the entire place seems to be of white marble. The floor underneath us was shiny and polished, a grand staircase roughly twenty feet away from us with two giant pillars
My uncle was dressed as slick as ever, pulling this whole Jack Skellington vibe with his pin-striped suit tailored perfectly to his body and some fancy, polished shoes to finish it off.I wasn’t the least bit surprised when he had Perry doing dinner service for us, it actually made me chuckle to see him dressed like a waiter with the towel draped over his arm and everything. Of course, Luci had to share the whole story about Perry and his best friend trying to steal his wife, it was a good story, and Luci loved it whenever he won and got to imprison another soul in the underworld. He was certainly proud of his work and took no shame in flaunting it.Abby seemed slightly baffled at the story. One bad mistake with Luci and you’re stuck in Hell for the rest of eternity, that was what he was telling her. He was trying to scare her, is what it was, but surprisingly, Abby held her own, and she didn’t seem frightened by him at all
I couldn’t feel my body. I had the devil himself towering over me with piercing red eyes and flames for pupils staring me down along with a tense jaw and a bulging vein in his forehead. He spoke to me through clenched teeth, asking who could have started the rumor about me in Heaven.I stumbled my words for a moment, not wanting to tell him that my mother was an angel and she was most likely the person who began to spread rumors, but I couldn’t lie to him, the man could set me on fire with a single look!“It, um, it may have been…” I began to stutter and it only fueled his anger.“Grandparents?” Damien offered to him from behind me. I looked back and up and him with pleading eyes to help me out, “She had to get the angel blood from somewhere,” he explained to Lucifer, “so it must be one of her relatives in Heaven who was looking after her and saw that she decid
I was shocked when Abby shared that she had entered someone’s dreams and wondered why she had kept it from me, but even more, I was worried that my wife was about to spar with the devil.Abby hesitantly let go of my hand and walked to the center of the room towards Luci, leaving me to watch nervously from the sidelines. The room we were in was massive, it took up probably a quarter of the entire mansion's space, it was the size of a full gym that you pay a hefty membership fee for.I watched closely to make sure that Lucifer didn’t try anything that would push her too hard. “Show me the lightning,” he said to her. Abby glanced back at me and I gave her a reassuring grin and nod and she nodded back.She held her hands atop each other with her palms facing and focused for a moment before they began to glow. Lucifer was watching intently as she began to pull apart her hands and reveal an expanding bo
We trained for four weeks to prepare for what Lucifer called the “inevitable battle of the gods” over me. The ‘war of the gods’ was Lucifer and his brothers versus their father, but this battle is Lucifer versus Zeus over the angel in Hell.Most girls grow up fantasizing that they would grow into such amazing women that men would be fighting each other for her favor, but this was the next level, and it wasn’t even romantic – they weren’t fighting for my heart, they were fighting for my eternal soul.I had Damien there with me every day to train with. Thanks to Lucifer, we discovered that I have the powers of water as well as wind, my new demon form also gave me the power of fire. All demons possess fire abilities, and Lucifers wife, Kora, or Persephone as she’s known in Greek mythology, had the power of Earth.15Today is the day that I get to meet Kora and learn
Kora chuckled, “You are a sweet girl, Abby,” she said as she brought the teacup up to her pink lips.“Hm?” I raised my eyebrows in question.“You wish to make Damien see Heaven,” she responded with a smile, “You truly do have angel blood.”The words ‘angel blood’ reminded me of my mother and how we are in this whole mess because of her. She said that it was the angel's duty to put the souls on a better path in life so that they are granted an afterlife in Heaven.Now that I was a demon and living in the underworld, it was confusing to me that I still wanted to do that. How many demons here are like that? How many demons want people to stop showing up here?Truth is, I wanted everyone to have the afterlife that they deserved, not an eternity in torture or an eternity in paradise, that didn’t seem fair. Everyone dese
Luci and I finished sparring and heard some giggling coming from a room down the hallway from us, so we decided to go and check on the girls. I had only ever seen Kora’s private room in passing when the door was left open, and I was aware of the typical layout of it with the nicely trimmed grass and various plants scattered about.Coming into the hallway with Luci and walking towards it, I hadn’t expected to find a bunch of blades of grass sticking out from the cracks of the closed door.“What in the world?” I mumbled to myself and looked at Luci, who was smiling like the idiot he is.Luci knocked on the door and Kora answered just a moment later with a large smile on her face, “Hello, boys,” she greeted us. Her eyes met mine and there was a proud look in them that confused me, “come see what your wife did,” she swung the doors open and we saw the grass was about two feet h
Kora and I had different opinions when it came to sharing with Damien the idea of turning the afterlife into one realm and in summary, destroying Heaven and Hell. It was a lot for an eighteen-year-old to take on, and Kora told me that I needed a plan before I share the insane idea with him or anyone for that matter.My thoughts on it were different. Damien is so smart, and my husband, so I wanted to tell him everything.(Yesterday with Kora)“What harm will it do for me to tell Damien?” I asked.“He is a demon, and the nephew and best friend of the devil, the secret will not be kept for long, and if Lucifer finds out,” Kora inhaled deeply and looked away from me.“Tell me. I can take it. What will happen if Lucifer finds out?”She only spared me a look and then exhaled, “He will destroy you.”“Destr
*Mature Content*“Damien!” I giggled as he carried me to our bedroom before he threw me onto the bed. I couldn’t help the small “oof,” that came from me as I bounced on the mattress.Before I knew it he was on top of me with the same mischievous look in his eye. He leaned down to kiss me passionately and slowly let his body rest on top of mine. I felt the bulge in his pants push up against my leg and it made my whole body tingle with anticipation.I wrapped my arms and legs around him before he snapped his fingers and our clothes disappeared, we both smiled and I felt his hardness press against me again, practically throbbing now.I decided that foreplay wasn’t needed and I wanted to be in control this time, so I surprised him and flipped him over so that I was on top now. He looked surprised but pleased at my decision.I grinned mischie
FACT VS FICTION INDEXThis is more a Myth VS Fiction index for those who don't believe in Greek Mythology - none of this, as far as I'm aware, is known to be a sure fact - these are simply what my research told me and what I used to build the story.FACT: Pluto, Plouton, Hades, and Lucifer are all different names used for the ruler of the underworld.FACT: Zeus is said to have dozens of offspring with both Goddesses and mortal consorts.FICTION: There is no family tree that ties anyone to Zeus.FICTION: There was no feud between brothers where Zeus tried to kill Hades.FACT: Zeus is God of the sky, lightning, justice, thunder, and law and order (wiki)Samhain is a Celtic word referring to the end of the harvest season. It is considered the Pagan new year when the veil between the living and dead is at its thinnest.FACT: Persephone, AKA Kora, was the daughter
My name is Abigail Lynn Hale, I was eighteen when I fell in love with a demon and followed him to the realm of the dead to live happily ever after with him.While there, I met a Goddess who wanted the same thing as myself - equality for all the souls.Together, we devised a plan to destroy the system of Heaven and Hell and create a single realm for every soul to inhabit and receive the afterlife that they deserve based on the seven deadly sins, and with strategy and will, we successfully created this new realm, we named it Mercy.My parents both reside in Mercy now, along with every other soul to exist and die. My parents and I patched up our differences and I forgave them both for their sins.Kora was given a rebirth, and as much as it saddened me to lose a friend, she was finally free from Lucifer’s hold. Whether it was genuine love she felt for him or mind manipulation, she would never have
Brightness. It was all that I saw towards the end.Zeus and Lucifer were about to attack each other for the last time, the final strike, the last clash, the moment that would destroy the portals between Heaven and Hell and leave all the souls in one single realm.The second that they began to move towards each other, I let my consciousness return back to my body and my eyes shot wide open. Brightness. It felt like it lasted forever, but it slowly vanished to reveal a blue sky above, not a single cloud in sight. It was silent now, the war was over.I was laying down, something I don’t remember doing. The last thing I remember was seeing Kora running to me and telling her that it was time.I turned my head to see green grass underneath me. My hair was blonde again, something it hasn’t been for months.Looking further out, I saw that the green grass didn’t last mor
Abby was somehow inside the consciousnesses of both Zeus and Lucifer, practically fighting herself in a sense, and I was supposed to just stand there and watch?Fighting off people as they came near to protect her, I could do that, but the angels and demons seemed to be equal in number, fighting one-on-one, very few coming towards us as they defeated their opponent.Everyone knew this battle was ultimately Zeus versus Lucifer, so no one dared to approach the area that the brothers were fighting.Kora was focused on Abby, I don’t know if she was giving her the mindreading ability so that Abby could block the next attack between brother accordingly or what, but whatever it was that she was doing, she was helping Abby, so I would protect her too.I questioned Kora for a while in the underworld, knowing that she was there against her will, for the most part. I wondered if she preferred the heavens
Everything happened so quickly; one moment I was standing there with Hermes making casual conversation, the next thing I know, all the souls of Heaven and Hell appear in the Garden and the battle begins. They went from zero to a hundred incredibly fast.Lucifer was right, there was absolutely no warning about this battle about to commence, nothing like the mock battles we had – these souls appeared out of nowhere and they kept coming, leaving nothing but the sight of fighting figures all along the flat plane of the Garden.Hermes disappeared quickly somewhere since he didn’t technically have a side to fight on, he just stayed away from it. I grabbed the bow and arrows from the pile of weapons that Kora and I brought with us as quickly as I could and checked my surroundings to try to find her.Where was she? She was supposed to take the device to Lucifer and have him destroy it then be right back. If the fight
I was able to get both Kora and me to the Garden because the portal was opened by Hermes, and when we arrived, we saw that the battle had already begun.The weather was as if Abby was feeling every emotion – The clouds were gray and thunderous, a mixture of hail and rain being blown in every direction. It was humid and hot, with bursts of sunlight threatening to poke through the clouds here and there.Hundreds of angels fought hundreds of demons all along the planes of the Garden as far as the eye could see. The demons all brought weapons of their own, as well as the angels, along with each one's natural powers.Fireballs were shot from one side to the other, arrows were flung in all directions, in some places, there was hand-to-hand combat taking place, making it hard to tell which soul was the demon and which was the angel.I saw Hex in his wendigo form, skeletal with patches of fur and the s
When I dreamt, Kora would visit me, and we have been strategizing how to create a new realm and destroy Heaven and Hell altogether. We planned things in my dreams, and when morning came, we tested whatever we came up with, and we had finally gotten to a point where we knew what to do.No one besides Kora had seen what I can do by means of possession. It happened once when we were sparring - I had gotten frustrated with going between my demon form and my angel form, trying to master the quick transitions, and Kora attempted an attack which I blocked by getting into her head.At the same time, my body blocked her attack. It’s when I noticed that my subconscious had divided itself between my own mind and Kora’s, I was controlling both of us.It might be too much to take at any moment, really, which is why we had to save it for this battle. Kora and I agreed to save that ability until the right moment, and we wou
Authors Note: *This chapter contains some content suggesting suicide and may trigger some readers, discretion is advised*After Abby left to train with Kora, I paid another visit to Luci, who seemed far less than thrilled to see me again. I found him walking the same way as I was in the hallway outside of Kora’s greenroom, he probably just bid her farewell as she left to train Abby some more.He heard my footsteps and turned to me, “If you won’t help me hide her, then at least help me give her more time,” I was begging now and I didn’t even care, I just wanted to save Abby.I was going to ask Lucifer for more mock battles, each time with more and more people. We had no idea just how many souls would be fighting for her on the other side and needed to be prepared for anything. It could be a hundred or it could be a hundred thousand, there are countless souls in the heavens, who knows how many
How much do I tell him? He’s just standing there and staring at me, I can’t stay pacing like this for too long, I need to say something! The weather is changing based on my mood, too, and I don’t want him to see what happens when I get frustrated here. Not yet. ‘Come on, Abby, you can come up with words!’“I was hidden from a lot of things in my life growing up, and now I have a chance to be a part of something huge, and you want to take it from me…” Ouch, that may have been a bit too harsh, I need to come up with something else, “You once said that you would never make me do something that I didn’t want to do… well, I don’t want to hide.”Damien pinched his lips together but when he finally spoke, his words came out softly. “I’m just trying to look out for you.”“Thank you,” I offered in a gentle tone, “bu
