The Demon Children
8 - An Angels Tears
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhen Lucifer had sped out of the castle, everyone turned to Spike who was pinching his nose. He had a feeling that his father would do this. “Sorry about that, demons are not supposed to show emotion like that and he just broke his own law in that sense,” Spike explained as the angels slowly nodded but still looked at him. He felt Death wrap herself around him and made him feel warm and loved. Spike returned it as it would be rude to not return it. They embraced each other like that for a few minutes until they let go.
“Spike, why are demons not to supposed to show emotion?” Faith asked. The other angels were curious to know about this as well. They had their theories of course, but it was better to have their suspicions cleared. Spike sighed as he laughed a little that sent them shivers. It was a cold laugh and it sounded downright evil. Spike made himself more presentable and sat straight as he decided to set an example. He knew that the warrior angels Michael and Gabriel would be the best to ask this particular question. The other angels waited for his answer and were surprised when he asked the two angels:
“Michael Gabriel, I want to ask you something: do you show your emotions to your enemies when your fighting? Do you show them that you are weak? That is why demons don’t show emotion: they are not supposed to look weak. We are supposed to be strong, independent and merciless. That is the way of the demons and always has been.” Spike stated as he looked down at the cup that was made of gold and had carvings into it. The carving represented an arrow that flew through the sky, surprising his target whoever that was. . .
Faust decided to get to know her grandchild better and looked over at him to see that he was pouring vodka into it. She chuckled fondly at it as it reminded her of Lucifer a few thousand years back. It had been the first time in years since he had returned. Their family had almost been torn apart, but they managed to survive it. They had invited Lucifer numerous times, but he refused to come. But one day, he decided to come and that was unannounced. He had been drunk and he had spoken about how he had somehow managed to genocide out a whole planet in a different dimension. The other angels had been shocked about the things he was said. He thought he had been alone at one point and talked about how lonely he was. Lucifer was then formally introduced to Lilith. Despite what version of her story she decided to say: this one was the correct one. She had been introduced to Lucifer during dinner and they had connected. She then fled with Lucifer to Hell and she was then to give him their children and make sure that they are as strong as needed to fight angels.
“Spike, I must ask you: Where are your wives? I mean, I know where they are, but why did they not come?” Faust asked, in a curious voice. The others looked at him and he simply rolled his eyes as he felt himself become angry. His eyes then went wide. Why was he getting angry? There was nothing to be angry about this time. He shrugged the feeling off as he went to answer his grandmother.
“They are back in Equestria, quite scared of you. Who wouldn’t be as you are a literal Goddess while they are close to it but can never claim to be it.” Spike said as he looked at his grandparents that smiled at him warmly and showed no signs of anger. The other angels were sucking on their breath while Faith and Death simply continued with the dinner.
The air in the room then turned cold as Spike felt something aching in his stomach. A feeling that would not go away. His scales were hard and tight which made it harder for his enemies to attack him. His eyes shone blood-red as he opened his eyes. He had a feeling that something was terribly wrong. The other angels saw this and remained alert to make sure that Spike did not attack any of them. Faust and God on the other hand were not afraid. They smiled at him to show that he had their support if he needed it.
“Wrong, wrong. Something is terribly wrong. . .” Spike mumbled as he started getting inside of his own soul in search of answers. The other angels were on high alert and looked at his every movement. Death and Faith on the other hand were on Spike’s side and did not hold their hands near their weapons. Why would they see Spike as a threat? He had treated them with as much kindness as he could muster. Faith knew Lucifer and Spike quite well and had seen all different sorts of fates as to what would happen on this particular day. It was only she and the evil version of Death that could see them. The angel version of Death is the kind one that helps guide the souls to where they belong, but there is another one that is grimmer and not as kind. He is one of the four horsemen and he is by far the cruellest being she has ever come across, save Lucifer considering what he does in hell.
The large double doors to the dining room were violently swung open as Lucifer stepped inside with panic clear in his steps. He still had elegance and power when he walked but his eyes showed nothing but anger and betrayal. The angels looked at Lucifer and felt the anger emitting from him and saw the smoke that was also washing away from him. The smoke was black with a hint of dark red. Lucifer held a sword to his side that was long and powerful. The blade was sharp and was neon bluish purple. The holster had small tags that looked like the ones from soccer players. But instead of the tags being thick, they were thin and were putting in many holes in Lucifer’s hand. The tip of the sword at the sharpest point reminded Spike of the royal horseshoes that royalty wore There was a diamond in the middle of it that was beautiful. It was a sapphire that was blackish red. It made the word stand out and look like it held a lot of power. Some of the angels gulped while Faust looked at Lucifer as if she was proud.
“Sorry for disturbing everyone here. Spike, your children have been kidnapped, I am not making this up and if you think I do then the throne in Hell is all yours.” Lucifer said, without missing a beat. Spike had to wait a while before the words sunk in. The angels all looked at Spike with caution. He could be feeling any kinds of emotions right at that moment. Lucifer looked like he was getting impatient, but he did not say anything. Spike then finally opened his mouth.
“Rub that by me again?” Spike asked, in some disbelief. He knew what Lucifer said and he knew that if Lucifer betted his throne-like that carelessly then he was dead serious. Lucifer groaned, annoyed but knew that he had to elaborate to make Spike fully see the picture. The other angels were preparing themselves for a fight if that broke out. Gabriel and Michael looked excited as if they had already betted money. Faust and God looked concerned but they knew that it would happen. They knew that Lucifer would blame them and they were preparing for the hurtful words to come out of his mouth any second.
“Your children have been kidnapped by some creature. I have no idea who it is, but I do know two high beings that do know. . .” Lucifer said, as he turned towards his parents. They were preparing themselves for the hurtful words while the other angels told Lucifer to stop before he actually started cursing them out. Spike on the other hand was in a trance as he remembered the moments he had with his children. He was shocked and very angry. He got up from his chair and without saying anything, bolted out of the dining room and headed for Canterlot.
Lucifer was still looking at the two creators. He gave them a hateful stare. The angels were gulping while Faith and Death were trying to talk to him. They were trying to make him go after Spike and said that they would follow him but he shouted one thing that made their eyes water. “Shut up you filthy angels, you hide behind God and Faust when in reality: it is the fucking opposite!! They judge me for the things I do when it is they who are the reason I am the way I am. I know that they knew, I will tell you this God and Faust: I hereby disown myself from the family so mote it be.” Lucifer said, making the other angels gasp. He had disowned himself from the family. It is possible to regain status in the family but because of the way Lucifer is angry, it will never happen. Never. Gabriel and Michael were shocked beyond disbelief that Lucifer would do such a thing. They did not want to see Lucifer disowned even for the horrible things he has done, but here he is, familyless from the angel side and only has his wife and child that has lost his children to whatever creature. God was not angry, only displeased by what Lucifer had done. Death and Faith cried their angelic tears as they felt Lucifer’s anger directed at all of them. Lucifer then marched out of the dining hall and spit on the floor.
The angels flinched by what he did and they looked as he left Heaven. He is beyond redemption. That is what they believe anyway.
Lucifer was seething as he flew. He was angry beyond belief and he had no idea how he was gonna calm down now, as he disowned himself from the family. Death would not want to speak to him and Faith would want nothing to do with him. That is what he wanted to believe anyway. His wings that he was using was the wings he used for when he was purely in Hell. The demonic wings. His eyes showed pure hatred and his arms showed small cuts here and there. The large cut on his body on the front was without a doubt infected. The flesh showed how hairs and other garbage was patching it up. His legs revealed that the veins were cut but weren’t releasing blood. Lucifer’s back revealed things he had made the other demons cut into his back for the sins he commits specifically, Gluttony, Lust, Murder, and so forth. His wings had holes in them that he had done to himself. He had been angry as a demon had hurt an innocent child that was no older than five. It was around the beginning of his ruling so the laws that he wanted was not fully situated. He had tortured the demon beyond recognition. He then cut the holes in his wings to punish himself for not protecting the child. It was around the time when Jesus Christ was an adult. Lucifer had of course asked God if he could see how resilient the human was. He was surprised that the prophet did not fall for his temptations. He was a little angry but dropped it after he got some souls that fell for them a few years later.
Lucifer saw Canterlot and flew towards it with normal speed and saw that his son was hugging his wives. Celestia was hugging him for dear life. Lucifer felt sorrow for the alicorn. Lucifer landed on his two feet and walked over towards Spike and his wives. The mares noticed him and bowed but he did not comment on that as he knew that they needed to think about other things other than the possibilities of their children being dead. If that was the case, he could simply travel down to Hell and bring them back up but he had a feeling that it was more complicated than that. It always is. When he reached them they went back to worrying about their children.
“Lucifer, does the Lord and Lady know where our children are?” Luna asked, hope to be crystal clear in her voice. Lucifer sighed as he nodded but they were expecting more.
“Yes, they do know but they won’t tell me and I honestly don’t give a fuck if they know or not because they won’t tell me in the end. I will find them even if it is the last thing that I do.” Lucifer said, making Spike nod as he knew that he would keep his word. Lucifer had never backed out of his words in the past. The mares nodded in understanding but looked confused as he glared at the sky.
“Fucking cowards,” Lucifer muttered under his breath as he then pulled out a wine bottle and gave it to Celestia who looked grateful and started drinking the whole thing. Spike looked at Lucifer with a confused look and he simply shrugged.
“Shall we travel to our spot of thinking?” Lucifer asked as he looked at Spike who then nodded and took Lucifer’s hand. He looked at his wives who were all drinking happily but they had evident tears in their eyes. Spike felt angered, who would kidnap his children and why? Maybe Lucifer knew something if he told him the evidence. Lucifer and Spike looked at each other and nodded. Lucifer teleported him and Spike away from Equestria and entered another dimension.
