Lucifer began his meal by dipping his hand in to the plate and picking out a piece of finely cooked flesh and then proceeded to throwing it in to his mouth, knowing full well that the piece of flesh he was busy savoring in his mouth along with the pieces in his meal was once a child born pure but that fact made the unholy meal taste even sweeter.
“Another delicious meal, finely cooked. The meat is tender and sweet, a truly fine meal. Would you like some Temptation” the supreme devil asked while taking another piece of flesh from the plate and devouring it.
Temptation, taken aback by Lucifer asking her to join him while he ate, bowed down her head, before saying, “No my lord”.
“Alright then, more for me,” the devil spoke in a joyous tone as he continued to eat the unholy.
Temptation, having served her master his meal, decided to leave to attend to her other duties but just as she was about to slither away she was stopped by Lucifer saying, “Today is such a fine day. The fallen star shines over the city of Pride with is scarlet glow, the air if filled with the howling and wailing screams of those unholy abominations as they awake and resume their twisted little lives of misery and sorrow. Everything feels right with this broken world so much so that it has put it a rather hospitable mood”.
Temptation upon hearing what Lucifer said stopped in her tracks and turned to face the supreme devil who gave her a sinister and sadistic grin. Temptation had lived with her master well enough to know what it meant for her master to have such a sinister smile plastered on his face like the one he had at that moment. He was planning something, and she was sure that whatever it was, it would end, just like the rest of every single plan conceived by the twisted mind of his, in pain, sorrow and misery.
Lucifer seeing the look of suspicion and caution in Temptations licked his lips as the sight of seeing her that was sweeter then unholy flesh he was busy devouring.
“I’m in such a happy mood that I think that for today I’ll allow that little bastard of yours have something edible” said the supreme devil with a wicked smile on his face.
“What?” Temptation failed to hide her shock upon hearing what the supreme devils said, remembering how, from the every moment her Lazarus was born he was forbidden from eating any flesh and was instead forced to eat disgusting and putrid meals made from the urine and feces of the demon spawn brought to the castle and when she tried to sneaking in some small pieces of flesh in to his meal and as punishment she would have stand and watching while Lucifer tortured Lazarus. Even though she knew the way her boy perceived pain, seeing him being tortured in ways that was enough to drive any demon on the surface of Haidas mad with pain by his very own father inflicted a form of pain no words could do just to describe. Temptation looked at the supreme devil again, seeing the joy and pleasured filled smile on his as he enjoyed seeing the look shock her face upon hearing the words that escaped his lips. There was no doubt it in her mind now, that lord of all demons that was before her was planning some, something truly sinister.
Lucifer upon seeing the doubtful look of suspicion on Temptation’s face could stop a sinister grin from forming on his face, before saying “What’s Temptation, you of all people should be happy about this after all that little bastard is ours”.
Temptation upon seeing the grin and the look of amusement couldn’t help but feel uneasy, wondering just what kind inhumane unspeakable horrors the devil before her was planning to do to her little boy, wishing that could find way to save him from whatever be but her hands were tied as she was powerless against her masters will, all she could was hope that whatever Lucifer was Lazarus would be able to endure it with a smile on his face like he always does.
“Very well master”, Temptation spoke with her head bowed down low before slithering away to the door once more.Lucifer just smiled wicked as he watched her approach the door before saying, just as she was about to reach for the door’s handle, “the bastard isn’t alone in his room”.
Those words stopped Temptation on tracks and made her turned to his direction once again with look of bewildered look on her face.
“I had one of those little abominations stay in the bastards”, said Lucifer, the sinister still evident on his face.
“What? Why?” Temptation asked, wondering why Lucifer would have one of the demon spawns share a room with Lazarus.
“The boy needed a friend his ages to play with, besides I’ve grown a little bored of the usual play dates me and him share and decided it might be best if the boy had another playmate” as Lucifer completed his sentence the grin on his face grew even wider along with the uneasy feeling Temptation felt.
“What are you planning Lucifer?” Temptation spoke up, unable to hold back the feeling of unease any more.
“Lucifer?”, the devil spoke while chuckling lightly, “Not lord or master, you’ve seem to have grown quite the back bone”.
Temptation could tell he knew what was on her mind, the fear and worry for her little boy that consumed her heart, it was miserable feeling and Lucifer reveled in her misery.
“Perhaps it’s the stress of the workload given to you; heaven only knows you are quite the dedicated worker or maybe…” Lucifer smiled sinisterly as dipped his hands in to the plate, brought a piece of cooked flesh before placing it in his mouth and then looked at Temptation with his blood red glowing eyes.“It’s your motherly instincts kicking in warning you about the danger that coming for you little Lazarus”
Temptation heard Lucifer words in her mind as she looked at him, her heart racing with fear as she watched him swallow the piece of flesh in his mouth.
“Whatever the case maybe, send two serving of food, finely cooked, one for the demon spawn and another for…Our little Lazarus” The Supreme Devil commanded.
Temptation upon hearing the words of her master simply bowed her head and said, “Understood master”, before opening the door and slithering away.
Once Temptation was gone, the Supreme Devil continued his meal with devilish grin on face before saying, “It won’t be long now before little Lazarus understands the living unholy abomination he is”.
Temptation slithered through the halls, on her hands a tray holding to bowls of cooked flesh with a disturbed and troubled mind, wondering what in name of every vile, twisted , and unholy thing born on the soil of Haidas could the Supreme Devil be planning, knowing him well enough to know that he incapable of taking any action out of the kinds of his heart for he knows only misery and pain, and acts of kindness and compassion was a foreign concept for his pitch black heart. She knew from the deepest depths of her damned soul that he was planning, she just failed to comprehend what it was. She then thought about what he said about how he had one of demon spawns or as in his words ‘those abominations’ stay with Lazarus in his room, and with that sinister grin on his face as he spoke. Replaying the Supreme Devil’s words in her mind, she couldn’t help but be even more confused on what he was planning, knowing that a demon spawn who had not yet succumb to sin were incapable of harming her little one in any way as they preferred to resist their darkest and most savage argues and desires, and would never willing succumb to the unless pushed too far. And even if the demon spawn was willing to harm her little Lazarus, thanks to the unique gift to refuse death’s claim over his soul and perceive all forms of physical pain as pleasure, Lazarus would just perceive any form of pain inflicted to him as just him and spawn playing games. No matter how long and hard Temptation pondered about on the matter, she couldn’t understand what kind of storm that devil was brewing in his mind, and that scared much more than any words could describe as she feared that soon she would have to witness, with teary eyes and a broken heart, her little one succumb t sin and become a unholy monster of misery, shame, and pain, just like his parents. Temptation made her way to Lazarus’s room. She then, took a deep breath, calming her troubled her heart, hoping that by the time she opened the door she would be greeted by the warm smile of her little Lazarus and not the face of dread and misery she was used to seeing. Temptation then took in a deep breath once more, before opening the door.
“Temptation” the chirpy and excited voice of Lazarus echoed throughout the room as the little demon spawn rushed the serpent with a warm smile on his face.Temptation, upon seeing that warm, playful and innocent smile still plastered on her little one’s face, couldn’t help but sigh internally in relief, happy to see he was still his innocent and happy self.
Her serpent eyes then shifted away their gaze from Lazarus to the figure that stood not too far away from him and just as they were locked on him, his were lock on her. Temptation, gazing at the child that stood not too far away from her and Lazarus, could tell that the boy had still maintained his innocence and not given to his sin just yet, not just he lacked a monstrous and twist unholy abominable appearance but also because of the way he shivered and shook nervously out of fear, a tell tale sign of sigh of a demon spawn’s purity for they, unlike the rest of the demon kind, have something they fear to lose.
“Lazarus, who’s your friend,” asked Temptation.“Oh him” Lazarus spoke with playful smile on his face while pointing at Judas.“He’s Judas, Mr. Lucifer said he could stay here with me” said Lazarus.
“And are you okay with him staying here” Temptation inquired, even though she could sense Judas purity and doubted from his appearance that he was capable of harming her little Lazarus, she still wanted to make sure her boy was safe.
“Why wouldn’t I be, I finally have another friend apart from you and Mr. Lucifer”, said Lazarus with a smile on his face.Temptation upon seeing Lazarus’s lit face and childish innocent smile on his face, felt her heart slowly begin to ease up, reassured that at the very least her boy was safe for now.
“Here, this for you” , Temptation spoke offering one of the bowls on the stay she was carrying to him.
Lazarus then picked up the bowl, examining its contents for a moment before dipping his finger in to it and then brought it out before finally tasting it.
“Hmmm, it’s really delicious but it’s not the usually food you bring me”, said Lazarus, satisfied with how delicious the food was.
“Yes, Lucifer was the one who asked me to prepare as a special treat for you and your friend” said Temptation.“Really, Mr. Lucifer is the best”, said Lazarus before he began to gulp down the entire bowl.
Judas how had been standing silently by the corner since couldn’t help but be taken aback by Lazarus’s words, as he still was not used to the fact that there actually existed a soul that like and even admired someone as cruel, heartless, and wicked as the Supreme Devil. Judas’s shocked expression did not go unnoticed by Temptation who had had her serpent like eyes locked on him from the very moment she slithered in to the room.Temptation then made her way to Judas, carrying the tray with the remaining bowl.
“Here, my lord ordered me to give you this” said Temptation.Judas, upon seeing Temptation up close, couldn’t stop his from pounding against his chest out of fear, having witness firsthand how heart savage any subordinate of Lucifer could be, having heard echoing screaming of child like him being taken one of the rooms in the castle where before tortured endless in ways to gruesome and inhumane, the mere thought of it made Judas entire body tremble and shake immensely out of fear.
Temptation seeing the fear in Judas eyes, was convinced that the boy that stood before her was incapable of harming her little Lazarus but at the same time she could not share the feeling of unease that filled her heart with worry. Knowing the monster she served well enough to know that something was brew in the in that twisted and maniacal mind of his, the problem was that she could seem to figure out what it was.
“Take it”, Temptation spoke while offering the remain bowl to Lazarus who then, with a timid and fearful expression along with trembling hands accepted the bowl, carrying the bowl from the tray with his hands still trembling with fear.
Temptation, upon seeing Judas take the bowl from her with trembling hands, couldn’t help but smile slightly as seeing him, trembling and shaking fear and horror, reminded her demons, despite being horrible unholy damned creatures of creation, were once pure and innocent. But as quickly as the smile formed on her face, it disappeared as quickly.
Recalling that better agonizing truth about demons and that was, no matter how pure and innocent they were born as, that pure and innocence will inevitably disappear one day.Temptation then turned and glanced at her little one, who, despite the fact that fact had fate played the cruel of jokes on him by having him being born to from the worst of all the demons, the Supreme Devil himself and having to being constantly tortured inhumane and unspeakable ways, still had such a bright smile plastered on his face, but the horrifying and agonizing question that constantly plagued her heart over the years was, for how long will that smile remain on her little Lazarus’s face.
“Temptation are you okay”, asked Lazarus as left his food and rushed straight to her.
“I’m okay Lazarus”, Temptation spoke, trying to conceal her pain from her little one.
Lazarus then raised one of his hands to her cheek, wiping something off it and then showing it to her before asking, “Then what is this?”
Temptation then looked down at the silver sparking salty liquid on Lazarus’s, the only pure thing a demon could create, a tear, shed out of the pain inflicted by the agonizing and undeniable truth of what it meant to be a demon and the agonizing pain of a mother knowing that truth would not spare her son from that agonizing pain as well.
“It’s nothing, something must have just entered my eye”, Temptation lied, not having the strength to her son the truth.
“Are you sur…” Lazarus’s sentence was cut short by Temptation in a desperate bid to put end to his questioning, saying, “I’m sorry but I have to go now, Mr. Lucifer is calling me”.
Temptation then slithered away, leaving before Lazarus could ask any more questions.
“Temptation is acting really strange today”, Lazarus while looking at the tear droplet on his hand, wondering why was shed a tear, recalling what she told him about people only shedding tears when they were extremely happy but upon recalling the look on her face while she that very tear on his hand, realized that it seemed like she was happy.
Judas who just stood by te corner silently with the bowl of food in his hand, watching the events unfolding, couldn’t help but wonder about two things, why did Temptation seem kinder and more gentle than the rest of Lucifer’s subordinate, and just what was the relation she share with Lazarus, recalling seeing the love, care, and affection the serpent woman her for him in her serpentine eyes from the very moment he greeted her from the door. Judas was then abruptly brought to an end upon hearing the sound of Lazarus gulping the down the contains of the bowl, not even bothering to properly chew the pieces of cooked flesh and simple downed it all in to his stomach.With a loud burp, Lazarus had finished everything in the bowl without a trace even a single drop of food.
“Men, that was good. Aren’t you going to finish yours”, asked Lazarus while pointing at the bowl on Judas’s hand.Judas then looked at the bowl of food in his hands, wondering whether or not it was safe to consume, noting that Lazarus had just finished his but upon considering the fact that he could survive, regenerate and heal even after having his entire face burnt with acid and all the pain managed to make him do was laugh and giggle, understood that even if the food given to them was poisoned it would most likely have little to no affect on him.
Lazarus then looked down at the bowl and began to recall how, during his first day in the house of million wailing souls after he was taken away from his mother, Lucifer’s subordinate brought to them, one of the demon spawns who had been succumbed to sin and turned in to a complete demon.
It was truly a horrifying sight to behold, venous and beastly, behaving like a complete and utter beast, growling and roaring with razor claws and fangs dripping with blood and saliva, ready to tear about devour flesh.
The subordinates that proceeded to slay the demon in front of Judas and the rest of the children born of demon blood before proceeding slice the demons flesh apart and the present to the children for them to eat.
At first all the children refused to eat the deceased flesh of demon slain before them but eventually, as hunger slowly began to set in and their bellies began to growling out of hunger, most of them chose to ignore the feeling the disgust that filled their hearts as they watched the raw meat of their own kind presented to them as their food and ate the meat.
Those that eat the raw flesh of the demon were the weak willed among them who easily forfeited their purity and innocence just to satisfy their bellies and they, upon consuming the flesh for their own, drowned their purity ocean of shame and succumb to sin, transforming to creatures just as horrific as the one they devoured. Judas remembered in vivid detail how they all transformed before him in process that was too agonizing to put in to words. Bones and flesh twisted and tore apart from within the children, thorns, horns, and spike sprouted out of their heads and various places in their bodies, most of them grew monstrous teeth, fangs, and claws that looked like they could tear through flesh and crush bones.
Some of them took forms to monstrous to describe with a body that seem all most dead, mass of skin that resemble rotten flesh, and body shriveled up and infested from head to toe with maggots.That was the first Judas had ever witness firsthand the ultimate fate for all demons spawn born in the city of Pride, to be monstrous damned unholy abomination who souls and purity had been forever lost to sin. It was horrific and scarring but not because of the sight, no because, Judas knew within his heart that if he remained with the four halls of the House of a Million Wailing souls, a similar fate would befall him. After those that had even in to their sin by devouring the flesh of the demon had fully transformed, they set their sights of those who resisted their hunger and did not give in to their desire to satisfy it by devouring their flesh.
Looking at them with contempt, a form of rage fueled by the shame they felt for not being strong enough to resist the urge and ultimately fell and submitted to sin and becoming unholy and impure abominations. They looked at them with a long of hate and malice, seeing them all as a reminder of the purity they had just lost before charging straight for them with a thirst and hunger fresh pure untainted blood. Judas at that moment along with all the other children who were pure and innocent believed that they were truly going to meet their ends in the hands of their brethren who had fallen from grace and in to sin.
Seeing the savagery and hunger in their eyes like wild unholy beast let loose ready to charge and consume anyone that crossed their path, it was clear to them all that the savage beasts had no intention of sparing any single one of them and they wanted to bath in their blood and dance to the melody of their scream of anguish, pain, and misery while they devoured them all.But just as it seemed as though their fate were seals and the massive, grotesque, and abominable jaws of death had opened their mouths wide and were about to devour them all, they were all save from a truly agonizing end by none other than the Supreme Devil himself. He, using his power that was unmatched in the entirety of Haidas, he raised all the monstrous unholy abomination up in to the air before proceeding to twist, tear, and shred apart their unholy flesh and body with nothing more than a simple snap of his fingers.
Judas watched, unable to shift his gaze away as did the rest of the children as they demons that attempted to devour them moments agony screamed out in agony and unimaginable torment and pain, as their flesh was twisted before being dismantled and ripped clean out of their bodies, torn to shred before their very eyes with their finally words being nothing but monstrous and savage yells of pain and torment. Judas recalled in vivid detail what he, along with the other children felt at that very moment upon witness what Lucifer just did and it was thankfulness or gratitude, no, it was a feeling of pure and utter dread and horror as he did it all with a horrifying and twisted smile on his face.
The Supreme Devil with that twisted grin still plastered on his face then spoke, in a twisted and distorted voice in heads of the children saying, “This is the fate you all, along with the entirety of demon kind deserve, to be put down in the most savage and inhumane way possible. You all don’t deserve mercy, joy, hope, or love; you are all living breathing abomination. Don’t be fooled by skins you all wear, they may seem pure and innocent but lurking underneath, curling with fangs and claws is a savage unholy beast whose sole posses is to wreck only pain and misery”.
Judas could still hear that twisted voice in his head, continuously yelling and ring, reminding him of those accursed words of that monster with him fight with everything he had to deny the truth of what he was and the most lurking underneath.
After the events of that day, they were given no food and were simply locked up in a single room for days, replaying what they had to witness during their very first day in the House of a Million Wailing souls over and over and over again in their minds in a tormenting and agonizing loop that was far greater than any kind of nightmare. And at the very moment, that very bowl on his hands was the only form of food he had been given since that day, having fought hunger with the fear and trauma of that fateful day still fresh in his mind and was very hesitant to willing consume any food provided to him by Lucifer or any of his subordinates.
But as he looked at the meal, seeing that it was not a hipped pile of raw flesh delivered to him on a bow and looked like it was a meal prepared with ought most care, hot with an aroma that reminded him of the meals his mother used to prepare for him before he was taken away from her.
The young pure demon spawn, hearing the rumbling of a belly that had been empty for days, decided to take a massive risk and down the bowl’s contains.Upon tasting the cooked flesh and juices within the Judas’s eyes widened in shock, not expecting the contains of the bowl to taste the way that it with a familiar flavor he could describe seem to find the words to describe but it however was immensely similar in taste to the same food his mother used cooked and feed him, so similar in fact that it almost seemed like they were the exact same dish.
Recalling how his mother’s meals, like the food on bowl, were feed to the brim with all kinds of meat, some tender and soft, some hard and tough, even the taste of its juices were the same as those of his mother’s dish, dark red in color with a delicious metallic taste with just a hint of salt. Judas did find it strange that the dish that his mother prepared for him was the same dish he was being served in such a vile and horrendous place only knew for the agony and misery it inflicted on those unfortunate souls who were ill fated to find themselves in there.Judas’s mind then began to wonder just that very dish was prepared, recalling how his mother would usually prepare the dish alone, keeping the ingredients along with the method and procedure of preparing the meal to herself. He had never once questioned his mother on just what exactly he was consuming but at that moment, after tasting the very same dish within the four walls of House of a Million Wailing Souls, he couldn’t help but wonder just what exactly he was before ultimately choosing to wiling ignore his desire and curiosity to know, with something inside him telling him it was best that he didn’t know as he didn’t want to taint the beloved cooking of his mother forever by finding out answer. So the boy chose to forgo his curiosity and continue with his ignorance, devouring the cooked flesh of the unholy race he was born in to, just like had been doing throughout his entire life.
