The Story of Lucifer and Bael 2

“You don't understand the current situation that you’re in, you can give up everything right now or you can die”, Lucifer says with a grin on his face. Bael looks at Lucifer with a sour look. The air in the room grew intense as others sat and watched the drama unfold before their eyes. A thin layer of light grazed through the window as they sit and speak. Lucifer is uncomfortable being there in the first place, the last thing he would want to do is be at a meeting in the infernal realm. Lucifer takes a sip of tea that is placed before him.

“The only reason you’re alive right now is that there are rules and unfortunately I don’t wish to deal with anyone on the council for decimating you”, Lucifer says with a smug grin. “Don't get all worked up Lucifer, it's not a good look on you”, a man in the back corner says. He looks human and has a bald-shaven head, he has a set of shark teeth protruding from his mouth. He has a muscular physical appearance from the waist up with scrawny horse legs and a tail waist down. “Asmodeus, this doesn't concern you, please sit in your chair you halfbreed”. Lucifer leans forward in his chair, his curly blond hair shining in the light grazing through, “Bael, this can all be so simple, all you have to do is either serve me for the rest of your short days or die, what's so difficult about that”? Lucifer spins in his chair as Bael kicks his feet on the table. “I will never serve someone of your stature, you think you reign high above all but in reality you're small, not even your wife respects you”.

Laughter from around the table grew loud as Lucifer leans back in his chair. The room slowly filled with the intent to kill. Everyone looks at Lucifer who is sitting back smiling at everyone. “I'm in my human form right now, but please don't make me show you the wrath of an actual perfect being”. Lucifer smiles and giggles to himself, and everyone around him quickly went silent. A knock on the door eases the tension in the room as Damian, who is Lucifers brother walks into the room. Lucifer lets out a prolonged exaggerated sigh as Damian takes a seat next to him at the head of the table.

“Brother, I see you still look ridiculous even as a human”, Damian mocks. Lucifer scoots his seat away from Damian, “I see you're still the underachiever mom never wanted”, Lucifer mocks back. The room is completely silent. No words or glances are in either of the two directions. “Bael, why don't you tell me why this meeting is taking place?” Damian turns his attention to Bael who is quietly spotting with his feet on the table. Bael takes a deep sigh and does upright, “well, if you must know the situation, I provoked Gremory into attacking source”, Bael looks away as of he was high and mighty as Damian laughs and gets up out of his seat. Damian walks over to Bael laughing and clapping his hands together, “I see, so it was you who did that”? Damian grabs both shoulders of Bael and squeezes. Bael sots there in pain trying to hold it in, “you know that is my niece you set up? How will you make amends for this”?

Bael pulls himself away from Damian's grasp. Everyone in the room is looking on to see what happens next in this situation. Damian walks away from Bael looking around the room, all eyes were on him as he made his way around. Lucifer sat there looking bored staring at the ceiling.

“Tell me Bael, what is the exact reason for your actions”? Bael scans the room as he starts to get up but Damian seemingly teleported to him sitting him back into his chair, “you will tell me Bael, I don't want to kill you here”, Damian smiles as he licks his lips, his teeth showing through a break in his lips. He pushed harder onto Bael keeping him in his chair. Lucifer stands up and walks across the table, he stands in front of Bael and bends down, “speak or perish“.

As soon as Lucifer finished his sentence the door kicked in and Lilith stormed in stomping her feet, screaming and cursing at the top of her lungs. Lucifer looks over at her shocked as Damian rubs his fave annoyed. “Who let you in here Lilith?” Damian asks. “None of your concern peasant”, Lilith quickly fired back. She walks over to Bael and swirly jabs him knocking his head back. “You will die for what you did, I don't care if they offered you salvation, I will hunt you”. Lucifer hops off the table and grabs Lilith attempting to walk her out of the room. She quickly turns out of his grip and kicks him in the stomach. “You're a poor excuse of a man, how did you let that happen anyways?” she says to him standing over him as he holds his stomach in pain from the kick. She walks back over to Bael who starts to push Damian off of him. Lilith walks up to him and swings to punch him again but he grabs her hand, she quickly kicks him in the chin knocking him back.

“Why did you do it?” she stands over Bael demanding answers. “She was in my way,” bael says, “she was in my way and I needed her gone, it's that simple, I wanted her region and now with her gone, my armies are marching to take it”. Lucifer stands up and walks over, “you did this for territory and power? Such a small man”.

Bael pushes Lilith from over him and stands up. Damian sots in his chair and watches the plot unfold. Lucifer grabs Lilith who is in tears from how angry she is and pulls her out of the room. Damian sits at the table with his hands folded with a smile on his face. “I don't care much for my brother or his wife, but my niece is a different story, I will destroy hell for her,” Damian leans back in his chair. Everyone in the room starts to get up and walks toward the door, everyone except Bael who does there looking at Damian with a smug look. Damian patiently waits for Lucifer to walk back into the room before he finishes with what he has to say. Lucifer walks back into the room, his form completely changed from his human form. He spreads his wing out as he enters the room, “you did this for power, so allow me to show you what true power is”, Bael stands up and steps back as Lucifer draw near. Damian sitting back starts to laugh out loud. Lilith slowly follows behind Lucifer but moves out right away from him. Bael starts to take a fighting stance but water quickly rushes through the room creating a pool around everyone. Damian quickly puts his feet on the desk to avoid getting wet. Everyone takes a second as the Leviathan appears out of the pool of water.

“Don't make a move Lucifer “, he shouts before turning his attention to Bael. “Power? Did you brainwash Gremory for power? You pitiful fool.” Leviathan slowly releases the water from the room. “Bael, unfortunately, I can't let them kill you but that doesn't mean you're off the hook”. Bael laughs “is that some kind of water/fish pun”? Leviathan chuckles at Baels's attempt to be humorous. Leviathan walks over to Bael as the air around everyone there is thin. The tension fills the room as Bael smirks at Leviathan. “Your humor is an awful attempt to try to cut the tension, but remember, you did this to yourself Bael,” Leviathan looks over to Lucifer and Lilith “I know you wish to kill him but you would have to take it up with the council, and even then it won't pass. I'll do something for you for right now,” he glances over at Bael, “ you will be imprisoned until an undisclosed amount of time, any attempt to use your abilities to leave will have consequences, to ensure you don't leave, your prison will be a labyrinth of endless surprises and only a select few will know the way out. Any who goes in will remain stuck until I deem it right. Do I make myself clear to Bael”?

“You think you can punish me? I will not let you try to tame me or suppress my actions. I simply did what anyone else would do”! Bael yells throwing things across the room. Lucifer giggles to himself, “ a little temper tantrum like that isn't going to fix your situation now is it Bael?” Lilith proceeds to laugh with Lucifer as Damian sits on his chair smiling, “this is all going according to plan”, Damian silently whispers to himself.
