“ How funny to come from something barely even heaving through dusty lungs. “
Lucifer regards the god in his palace halls with a searing gaze that rivals the very heart of creation , gold that burns brighter than any stars or metal. He is beautiful and so far from the legends and stories of humans. There’s no ruined skin and ugly snarl. Wings whiter than snow and edged in gold dazzle , a sharp contrast to the midnight silk hair that spills around his elegant and seraphic form. There’s something enchanting and elegant even in the simplest movements , the embodiment of beauty and perfection.
But his aura is far from delicate , far from helpless. It spills into the room like fog , of danger and raw power as he descends the steps to close the space between Heaven’s formerly beloved angel and the forgotten god.
“ Are you trying to describe yourself ? Humanity has me carved into their very existence. Even nonbelievers write poetry and metaphors of me , retell my story and carve statues and paintings of me. The believers cower , or pity , or wonder about me. “ He waves a hand with dismissal. “ But unlike others , their faith does not affect me. Whether they believe or not , it holds no influence on me like it does the archangels. “
His gaze softens as he stares at Arahabaki. “ But they’ve forgotten you , haven’t they ? Destroyed your temples and followers. Corrupted your legends of being a god of ironmaker , of strength , or protection , and made you into a story of a beast. Of mindless violence and destruction and calamity so that other gods might shine. How much do you remember , o’ guardian god ? “ Lucifer’s voice is nothing short of pure silk and melodic symphonies. “ Every story needs villains. Humans so love to turn their swords against their own gods. It’s not your fault. Humans love cruelty , to inflict on each other and those who once aided them. Broken , flawed creations. “
Lucifer stops a few steps above Arahabaki , emitting no malice , no fear. Something indescribable , ancient and warm and tempting instead flows like sunlight from him. “ But that could all be changed. If you want , that is. Revenge , restoration , it could be yours if you so yearn for it. I am willing to aid. “
