Chapter 6 Finally Home

The moment had finally come, Asmodeus had arrived home at last.All the demons, neutral spirits and ghosts rose to their feet and shouted the praise of Asmodeus the great.He waved his hands up embracing their applause and cheers.The last time he was here,things didn't end so pretty.All seven of them fought each other for one woman.That woman was Mrs Lilith,the so called Queen of hell.It seemed that she played them all and really was doing Lucifer's bidding.He just wanted to use her to keep the other six princes of hell in check but it all went wrong and Asmodeus fell for her.

Once he found out he was tricked,he went straight to Lucifer but he ended up being ignored and went picking a fight with Satan.It turned ugly and Asmodeus banished himself to self exile on earth.He now couldn't believe he was back, his past was bittersweet and now his present was glorious.

Once the applause receded,he headed straight to Lucifer's chambers.He wouldn't dare want to meet Satan right now,not after how he was disgraced the last time they fought.He feared Satan would make a joke or statement that would make him snap and fight again.Satan was tough but Asmodeus had been training ever since he lost.He wouldn't be bullied this time by his annoying older brother.

In Lucifer's chambers.....

The demon of pride was seated holding a glass of wine in his hands.He looked graceful, elegant and stunning,no wonder he was once called the most beautiful angel in heaven."Well,well,I never thought I would ever see you again", Lucifer broke the ice after studying his brother."Yeah,why wouldn't I come back when our people literally begged me to return", Asmodeus said mockingly."Am glad you're back brother", Lucifer said.

"Cut the crap!!!, Lucifer, don't call me your brother,did you ever really care about me,did you even check on me when I left",he snapped struggling to control his emotions.,"You were always the emotional one,you didn't need to be checked on,it was the humans I was worried about", Lucifer replied.

Asmodeus scoffed and looked him straight in the eyes,"Now let's get straight to business,as you know I should be here for that throne of yours so,what do you have to say about it!!!".

He expected an objection or a lecture about how Asmodeus wasn't worthy of the prestigious crown and throne of the Devil but he didn't.

On the other hand, Lucifer surprised him with his reply,"I believe you have worked hard enough to take the throne but I just have one thing to ask of you". Asmodeus knew it was too good to be true so when he heard that he was not comforted.It was already clear to everyone that Lucifer was the deceiver for a reason."What's this thing you need", Asmodeus asked like he cared but he was just seeing how this would go before he went out there and disappointed everyone.

"It's clear that your sin has taken over the world but there's a tiny bit of info your people didn't know", Lucifer said."What's that info only you know", Asmodeus asked rolling his eyes,he was already tired of hearing Lucifer's too know voice.

"You missed one person,a single white speck that has eluded you and your sin",He concluded.Asmodeus's eyes opened wide as he shouted,"That can't be possible,who....is this man"."It's a she and she's called Maria", Lucifer smirked as he realized the irony of all this.They had to deal with another Virgin Mary.

Some would ask why the Devil never hunted down Mary before she even got informed that she would bring the savior into the world.The fact was that those chosen by their Father were given some kind protection that kept them hidden from their radar until their purpose was accomplished.

Sometimes,Asmodeus thought it was pathetic that they needed their Father's permission to hurt any of his beloved humans.Things got so easy when humans started selling their souls for perishable goods like money.Oh it became too simple.After those humans got their agreed time,they would die and their bodies would be possessed by any demon in the hell line.

That's how they became so many on earth that is how the Arch demons could calmly walk the realm of the living without the fear of being found out or struck down by angels.

Humans were granted free will.It was supposed to be a blessing from God, something his angels didn't have but it became their weakness.With a human's agreement the demons had the right to stay on earth and do whatever they wanted.Therefore the demons laughed when men lost their faith and blamed God for their problems.

Trouble never liked man,it was man who loved trouble.
