Who Is The Devil

The Devil as most of us know him is the cause of every problem that was in the world. Most religions believe him to be the cause of the fall of man and incurred the wrath of God upon mankind. He is a subtle beast, a great seducer and the deceiver of men.

I speak from a Christian's perspective because I was born in a Christian home. It has nothing to do with which religion had the best description of who the Devil or God was.

When I was younger I had imagined him to be a very unsightly beast with horns and a tail but after seeing him once, though not clearly since I only saw his back, my opinion about him seemed to change.

Rather than the evil he was attributed with, it seemed like he was in pain. He was heartbroken and in pain, I definitely want to meet him. I was sure I wanted to, but looking from Rachael's perspective, he was supposed to be a mean, cold and dangerous demon.

Demons generally were dangerous beings. I needed to be careful since he was on top of the food chain as the only level 5 demon and I hadn't even confronted him yet to know the extent of his strength and also his weaknesses.

"Rachael, do know why Lucifer decided to be born by human parents?"

"Like he ever says anything to me" Rachael retorted rolling her eyes

"Your parents doesn't find him strange?

"They did and took him to a psychiatrist. He was diagnosed to have Alexithymia and he was also Autistic".

"Wow, two medical conditions at the same time?

"What do you expect, he is the devil. All of that is just child's play to him".

"You think so? I answered but I thought differently.

"Yeah, Do you think he has some reason for it? Just forget about him, he has always been an a**hole".

Forget about him? I actually wished I could but being the kind of person I was, it was a mission impossible. Why did he choose not to speak to anyone? He chose to suffer in silence rather than to enjoy his life. And being born as a mortal means, he would repeat this cycle of pain over and over again for eternity. But from what I remember, God never gave him this punishment or is there more to this than already know? Did he choose to punish himself because he wronged God? But from what I knew the Devil was an arrogant being than rebelled and is still rebelling against God by making people go against God's will. Was he repenting? If he was God as we were told was merciful and he would probably have forgiven him if he was but did we actually know God for who he is. Or was he punishing himself because he was wronged? Probably because all the allegations against him was false.

All we knew about these supernatural beings; Angel, Demons, Lucifer and even God were very vague. Ever since my first encounter with a demon I have become quite curious about the supernatural. Now I'm even starting to wonder why I was born with this ability. Was there something that God probably want me to unravel or is it just a coincidence that I see the supernatural? Am I doing the right thing with this ability? Why did I meet the Devil and why did I see him at his lowest point?

At this point curiosity had gotten the best of me. Questions kept running through my head that I felt like I would go crazy. I only had one way to find out the entire truth and that is to ask him directly. I actually wished I could also ask God for his opinion but he was out of my reach so I would just make do with what I had.

"Rachael, have you thought about what I requested last time?

"You make a lot of requests, which one are you talking about?

"You promised to help me meet your brother". I answered almost immediately

"So you're still bent on meeting him, well I'll try to ask him when I go home for this semester break".

"That's too far". I responded almost sobbing

"But that is how much I can do for you. He doesn't meet anyone and I would need time to convince him".

"I knew she was right and that I could go crazy waiting for the semester break in three weeks. But I didn't have a choice, I had to wait and hope he even agrees to see me after my long wait".

Even if he didn't, I would definitely break into his house. I was that desperate.

Three weeks went by really slowly, I still thought about him everyday. I had new questions. I had even gotten a new journal for my questions. I made sure to remind Rachael about the meeting everyday until she got sick of it. She almost yelled at me for troubling her.

I even went as far as making deal with her as a demon to a human, she was going to dissipate if she didn't fulfill my wish. I was sorry to her but I didn't have a choice, I was going to get to the root of this no matter what it takes. It was something only I could do and if I just ignored it, it would be a waste.

As if I could even ignore it.
