Crowe Morningstar - Return

"Oh, sweet baby Jesus, thank you for returning me to Blackpool! Oh, thank you!" I wailed with uncontrollable tears streaming down my cheeks. I kissed the floor, feeling the warmth in my chest bubbling over. "I'm out of that hellhole." 

"I did not think Lord Hellmaster would ask me to give you the basics," Lucifer muttered with a peculiar stare. "I'm surprised. Truly. Him taking you as a disciple is one thing, but for him to recognize my basics are better than his is utterly impressive." 

"... Are you bragging about yourself again?" 

"Not a brag, merely a fact."

My Grandfather… was a narcissist, very much like Uncle Arsene. Everything he said while training me was over the top and directly related to him somehow. I hadn't noticed it before, but the more time I spent with him, the more I learned how much of a bastard… I mean, a narcissist he was.
