AGE : eternal
SPECIES : knight of hell
JOB : varies depending on her mood
INTRODUCING : aurelia. aurelia, is the only female knight of hell. and to put it lightly [ ... ] she is also lucifer's favourite. the golden child, his favourite warrior. his named leader of his army. which is amusing, given she can't fucking stand him. she hates both him, and his agenda.
it was of course, never always this way. for eons, aurelia was the favoured daughter, and wrecked whatever damage lucifer asked of her. she relished in killing angels, in torturing humans. in twisting the world into lucifer's agenda. she was also behind ━ the birth of half demons. half demons that were related to the knights. understanding, that if she and her 'brothers' were able to get the select ones of the angelically blessed bloodline to have children with them. then they would have the perfect little army. an army that could do more on earth, than the demons could. an army that could slip under the radar, and cause havoc when needed. which was why aurelia was the one, who found the set bloodlines that were needed. her tireless work, being the solution. to the building, of the perfect army.
things of course started to change ━ when aurelia became a mother herself. she'd told herself all through the pregnancy, that she'd be fine leaving her child with it's father. and never interacting. that she'd handle the rule set in place by the angels, and by lucifer, that once the children were born. the knights could not influence their destinies. and that the children had to find their own way. aurelia believed she could stick to this. she just never expected her motherly instincts to outweigh her previous alliance to lucifer. and leaving her first born son behind, tore out the heart she didn't know she had. unlike her brothers, she couldn't remain emotionless, and she missed her baby, ever single day the two were separated. to the extent that lucifer, personally killed the child. hoping it would correct aurelia's temperament. and get him his warrior back.
aurelia grew hateful of what lucifer did. hating him for killing her child. but she knew she couldn't go up against the devil. that was not her destiny. it was instead the destiny ━ of one of the children. so instead she plays it safe. she pretends to be his warrior. she pretends to be loyal. and as she has more children she keeps her longing, deep within her. something she manages by checking on them every now and then. mindful to not get too close lest she enact the wrath of the angels as well as lucifer. but the whole time aurelia bides her time. knowing that her revenge, would come one day. and it does, in the form of her niece.
aurelia hears about payne ━ when she dies. and the knight wishes with everything, that she could get her niece out of the hands of elijah. but knew she couldn't interfere. so instead she watches. watches the way drakos manages to interfere and once more, hates that she can't interfere. as sure drakos wasn't her true brother, but to her these children were family. the knights had been together for so long, that it was only how she could see them. but soon aurelia's time come, and she is able to tell payne the truth. th truth of her father [ ... ] as well as her true nature. for aurelia could feel it. payne was the strongest one born. the one they'd all heard would either lead the army of hell. or would destroy it from the inside out. and if aurelia guessed correctly. payne was aiming for the latter.
and when payne kills two knights of hell ━ aurelia feels a sense of pride . knowing that finally the cycle of pain, would one day come to an end. sure she had a feeling that one day, the young demon would kill her too. but with the way things were going, there was only one truth she cared about. and that was, that lucifer wasn't going to win this war. and that was all she truly, hoped would one day come to pass.
