A Tale from the Past .Pt2

Diablo.

"Until you finally decide to show up!" Lilith blurts out irritated. "Do you have any idea how hard it was to get past security? Those idiots are everywhere."

"Thank you, my sister, for covering for me while I visited my beloved Kaamly, I owe you one." I say in a monotone, being aware that for her, this is not over yet.

"Oh, of course you do, and I think I already have an idea of how you can make it up to me." points at a Celestial in the distance who doesn't notice our presence thanks to our new powers.

"Don't even think about it, you won't get that guy." I declare as I let myself fall into the huge abyss that leads to Hell.

"Just imagine how wonderful it would be to have his body hanging on my wall!" she shrieks, following me.

"You know... I'm surprised you didn't start with a revolution before, if you had all those kinds of retained thoughts it must have been very difficult to pretend to be a pure and devoted Celestial."

"Oh brother, don't even remind me that nightmare." she grimaces. "Fortunately those times are in the past, now we are free, we can do whatever we want." she smiles mischievously.

"I think I know how to repay my debt to you." I comment with my eyes fixed on the mountains in the distance. "You will be the new leader of one of the new areas of Hell."

"Will you really allow me to rule with you?" she asks in confusion.

"You can help me manage this place, I think you will be amazing at it." I smile at her.

"Well, I am at your command, Great Dark Master." she bows slightly. "I still can't believe this is real, I feel that we still serve in the great palace of holiness, you together with our brother and I helping justice take place in every corner of the kingdom of the Celestials while protecting the mortal realm."

To be prisoners of our destiny, every demon managed to break that chain. Every demon manage to be selfish enough to surrender to the dark and wicked thoughts and desires.

"You won't have to pretend to be what you are not anymore sister, you can release all that darkness you were holding back and let it possess you completely." I encourage her, knowing that for all these years she kept holding back who she truly was.

She smiles enthusiastically and nods and then sets her eyes on the panorama.

"Where do we start? We can't let all our demons stay in the mortal realm for so long, that will cause problems, although I wouldn't mind having another dispute with the Celestials."

"I promised Kaamly that I wouldn't have any more problems." he sighed.

"It's amazing how that celestial has control over you, brother." I notice a jealous hint in her tone, that makes me smile.

"I can't help it." I shrug. "I think it's time to summon everyone, we must assign who will help lead this place."

(...)

"Sounds wonderful." she smiles.

After a week I finally managed to put some order in Hell, I came to the human realm, where my beloved Celestial was waiting for me.

"I'd love for you to see everything, there are human souls agonizing everywhere, I think I'll have to do something about it, I'm still not sure how to organize a place that naturally has no order at all."

She nods and bites her lip nervously.

"The Celestials saw your mark." Kaamly suddenly acknowledges.

My body tenses at her comment and I quickly examine her whole body, looking for any sign of physical punishment, but she takes my face and denies.

"Did they hurt you?"

"Now they call me the woman of darkness." she laughs lightly. "I think my superiors are afraid of you, since the only thing they ordered me to do was to make it public to all the Celestials."

Time passes differently in all realms, a week in Hell is fifteen days in the celestial realm and a human year. Although it seems that we saw each other until very recently, it was much more difficult for her than for me.

"Did they humiliated you in some way?" I ask, still worried, in some way I can't help but feel some culpability because of all she had to go through.

"Lucifer calm down, I could not feel humiliated knowing that I am yours and you are mine. It's a little difficult now, I won't lie to you, but as the centuries go by everything will be easier."

"How are you so sure of that?"

She caresses my face and smiles.

"Because justice always comes to those who are kind. Loving you is a sin simply because it is something they don't like. You make me so happy, even though we can't always be together, every time I see your mark and remember that you gave it to me from your heart, I feel so complete that nothing and no one can erase that feeling."

"We all, at some point in our existence, commit a sin that becomes part of who we are, I'm glad to be yours." I kiss her hand.

"I'm glad to be yours." she repeats.

She really is, the sin that consumes my soul and makes me what I am, makes me desire as I should not, drives me to defy all imposed law and to eradicate all given mandate. To love consumes, suffocates, completes, but above all, when a demon loves, he loses all sense of what is logical and rational.

Because in love, what can be?

Knowing that what I feel for her can be my support and my weakness makes me think about the rest of the demons. They must never go through this. I believe love can be dangerous for our demonic realm. They will be free to love evil, to obsess over each other. But I don't think loving a being is an option for us. Not anymore.

"Are you sure the Celestials are not willing to let you come with me? Now they are aware that you are mine, there is no point in keeping you there."

"Darling remember, they are not keeping me anywhere. I love the good in all beings, i just can't..."she tries to fin the right words. "I can't see the things the way you do."

I look at her for a couple of seconds and approach so my lips caress hers.

"You don't need to." I assure her.

I decided to love her completely for who she is, and if goodness is part of her existence I must accept it.
