Chapter 127: SICKER THAN A DEVIL

Lucifer lost his cool,

That he pulled out the still unfinished gun,

He aimed it at Samael as he shoots,

The ringing sound, heard from afar.

The nearby demons quickly came towards the noise,

As Lucifer still kept shooting, despite knowing, there's a lot more choice,

Leviathan arrived just in time,

Only to see Samael's right wing was the only one left intact.

Lucifer eventually gave up when he ran out of bullets,

He rose his hand, as an arrow of light formed from it,

Leviathan summoned his water dragons, hoping to protect Samael,

But Satan's voice, was the reason Lucifer refrained.

Leviathan told the dragons to carry Samael,

As he left with them, eyeing Satan before he left.

"Lucifer! How dare? Samael is our brother!"

"What kind of Brother? Insults me, the one of highest honor!"

Lucifer yelled in arrogance, as Satan looks unsurprised, since it isn't his first.

Satan talked back at Lucifer, "Your emotions are handled poorer than worse.

Look at him, you truly should not have done that,"

"He is the one, who asked for that a lot,"

"How can we put him on our side if you're lashing out on him?"

"If you heard what he said earlier, you may have done worse things than I did."

Satan kept quiet, as he sighs, disappointed,

"We are not little kids, or else it's like what the angels had pointed,

Lucifer, I know you wanted to show him you're capable,

But killing him, would just prove you're a coward, as they had called.

Show him a smart leader, a smart ruler,

Show him the bright genius that you are, Lord Lucifer.

You invented chaos, rage and more,

Show him that there's a lot of who you are,

That you can't be easily tored.

But now, you're acting like a mere child,

Easy to anger, but rocketing in pride,

I do not wish to see you like this,

Your powers wasted on a pitiful scene,"

"And tell him to know which words to say,

I can't tolerate him every single day,

True, he did helped us with some things,

But he's also helping our enemies, he only serves one King.

And it's not me. It should be me!

If I were you, I'd turn him against our enemy,

Tell Azazel to do the same things he did with that angel Eleazar,

With his capabilities, I know we'd get far."

"But he is not one of them, Lucifer,"

"And he is not one of us, either,

Do as I say, or I'll punish you as well,

You should be reminded, I can show you, your hell."

Satan saw Lucifer's eyes look at him not with pride, but with wrath,

Than of an aura so radiant, it emitted something dark.

"You should follow me, Satan,

After all, you and me are one.

You owe me all you ever possess in this world,

Even that young boy, you brought into my fold."

Satan's eyes looked confused,

He had a lot of answers for everything,

But he felt lost in his truth.

His mouth slightly shivered, unsure of what to say,

As Lucifer circled him slowly, taunting him like prey.

"Let me tell you a secret.

When his brother died, I did have regret.

I did feel this crushing feeling in my chest,

And I did have my cheeks soaked wet.

But you know what he told me after his death?

"To change, to humble myself, and look out for Ahava, before he takes his last breath.

But...well, I can't do the first two things didn't I?

So I made sure, Ahava's well taken care of, on our SIDE."

"I...I don't understand at all, I was the one who found him,"

"And I was the one who sent her."

Satan's eyes widened in shock,

He gritted his teeth, for the first time wanting to fight back.

But Lucifer demanded he be quiet still,

As he explain himself further, and further in.

"I had a feeling that you still don't have much rage in your heart,

So I made you think I'm all you ever had.

You did the same thing with Asmodeus, didn't you?

Further proving we did the same, so don't act oblivious.

You killed all the succubus who harmed him,

And made him believe you truly saved him.

But you didn't protect him and didn't ever truly provided his needs,

You filled his heart with ambitions, with expectations and greed.

Satan, you know why I gave you that angel?

Because if I didn't, I know you might rebel.

He was your joy, something the other side don't have,

So you stayed, the opportunity to dethrone me, you didn't plan to grab.

There's a truth I've known for so long,

No one will follow me, out of pure love alone.

They're all planning for something, for my doom,

But thanks to you, their plans were rotten soon.

You are smart, and you are the missing part of me,

I know myself, and though you did not see.

I know where I left my heart,

I left it in you, Faegan, I gave you all you had,

And even gave you a new name,

And a power to command.

I am your God, haven't I told you before?

So should you not fear me? To my front tremble?

After centuries, I've noticed you become braver,

The threat in my name, have been reduced lower.

Maybe you've forgotten who slained a thousand angels,

Maybe you've forgotten who I am in those hundred tales.

Ruthless, impatient, a monster like no any,

No word of evil, could ever truly compare to me.

So do as I say, and don't act like you're better than me,

I can take all you have now, even that child you raised and loved deep.

You thought you're better because you're calmer and smarter?

No, you are all my biggest flaws combined together.

You act like you know it all,

And your love gets the best of you,

You're the thing I love most and hate,

But I'd dispose of you, when unused.

Don't think we're equals, I know Samael won't ever choose our side,

Kill him or reuse him, that's for you to decide.

What? You're crying? Angry? About to rebel?

Go on, go on. I'd kill all you love, without the slightest care.

Before, I had doubts and fears you might be better,

But now as I know myself more, I realized where we differ,

You wanted to cause chaos, to hurt those who had hurt you,

I wanted to rule the world, and destroy those who don't follow.

Your goals...are but revenge,

My goals are of change.

So who are you to tell me not to shoot Samael?

He isn't here to befriend us, he is here for my mind to bend.

Before you say anything, look at yourself,

Would you really reach this far...without my sole help?"

Satan felt numb as he heard all his revelations,

"I thought you were my Saviour, not the cause of my destruction,"

"You need to fear me now, since your eyes are becoming prideful,

Don't dare oppose me, remember, who's much powerful.

Some may follow you now, but I've made sure you have no choice if you ever leave,

Either obey me, or have your skull be reaped.

I did not like the way you insulted me earlier,

I know what I'm doing, so at least be thankful.

And if you can, just feed that woman to your sole son,

I want that God-loving brat, as soon as possible gone.

Waiting and waiting, and believing she'd choose Asmodeus,

is like hoping for rain in a dried out desert.

We're just waiting for her to escape,

And would you really like that?

Convince Sellena to come to him,

Let her die so he can be back.

That woman is nothing but a distraction,

From the past encounters, we should have known our lesson,"

"Asmodeus almost died trying to keep her,

Do you really think, he'd let her go?"

"Who would really know? His mind is complicated,

His goals are shallow, isn't it to be loved that he only wanted?

Those with love in their hearts are the weakest creatures on earth,

And those with nothing to lose, can rise from all the dirt.

If you care about your son, do him a favor and kill his weakness,

I thought she'd be usefull, but keeping her here is meaningless.

She's slowly fooling him, who knows? One day, maybe that sickly disease would spread,

So again, I tell you...she's better off dead."

Satan sighed as he think and think,

He was searching for anger, but he felt empty as a used out ink.

He went to his room, should he fear or hate Lucifer?

Did he not know, that loyalty over fear matters?

"A dumb leader indeed, but I should take him seriously,

Now that I know he manipulates more than I could,

I should think twice, before I disobey him."

Suddenly, a tear fell from his eyes,

As he wiped it with his hands,

"Ah, do I really have a heart?

If only, I've known from the start."
