Lord Lucius Lucifer Diabolus is the prince of hell. Being the only son of Lucifer, the feared ruler and king of hell, the young prince was much revered and respected throughout his kingdom. Word has it that he will take on Lucifer’s place when the time comes.
The young prince however had other plans on his mind. Just after his 26th birthday, he mustered the courage to confront his father with intentions of going to earth, a place which he had only heard and learned about from his mentor Faust. Lucifer was reluctant at first to grant him permission but after much persuasion, he soon realized that his precious son was no longer a boy and needed the adventure as any young man would and the experience as a future ruler.
Lucius departure to earth couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time as there were evil forces in hell plotting to overthrow the almighty Lucifer and to gain the reigns of hell while humans on earth were celebrating Halloween totally oblivious to the fact that the son of the devil has just joined the party. Young Lucius was having the time of his life in a world totally different from his. He soon grew accustomed to being around humans and blended-in well with his good looks.
As fate would have it, an angel was being banished from heaven at around the same time and their paths naturally intertwined. Cherubiel was no ordinary angel. She was of one of the highest ranking order of angels called Cherubim and was banished from heaven by the archangel Michael who caught her at the gardens of Eden with the Prince of Tyre. Cherubiel was heart-broken and did not even try to prove her innocence while the other cherubs pleaded for her to be sent to earth instead of hell together with the notorious Prince of Tyre.
The son of the devil and the banished angel quickly took to liking each other and formed a bond the moment they had set eyes on each other. The attraction was mutual and unexplainable. They enjoyed each others companionship in this remote world far from home while hiding the utter truth about themselves. Lucius soon abandoned his intentions to return home and started performing good deeds which is totally the opposite to what the prince of hell should actually do in order to return to his kingdom. Lucifer learnt of this and quickly dispatched his son’s trusted aid and mentor Faust to earth to find the truth of all these.
Faust was Lucius’ trusted friend and a wise old man who taught him everything ever since the prince was a child. He was once a very well-known alchemist during his time on earth, some even considered him to be a wizard of sorts. His quest for the ultimate knowledge had lead him to make a foolish pack with Memphistopheles in exchange of his soul; an act which he would forever regret. After hitting a few bumps on the way, the witty old man was quick to get to the bottom of it all and returned with bad news for his master.
Hearing the news, Lucifer’s heart sank. The only way for his son to return to hell is to sin and die but instead of that, Lucius was eloping with an angel. Not giving too much thought, the king of hell immediately ordered Azazel to bring back his son while Memphistopheles had other plans in mind. Azazel was chief of the nine chairs of fallen angels while Memphistopheles was chief warlock and Lucifer’s second-in-command. Both had hidden agendas on their mind as terrible as they looked. They plotted to kill Lucius and gain the throne of hell by overthrowing Lucifer himself.
In an odd twist of events, Pharos, the castle’s housekeeper learned of this plot and helped Faust escape hell in order to warn and save Lord Lucius. In no time, Faust was back on earth and the trio were soon under pursuit by the evil forces of hell bent on destroying them once and for all. Under Faust’ guidance, they researched and found out that the only place safe for them was purgatory and together they journeyed across Moscow in search of the secret gateway to purgatory which they thought would provide a safe refuge for them. One clue lead to another and with the help of all the cash Lucius’ father had given him, he and his comrades were on a private jet headed towards Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, home of the twin towers. The prophecy says that to gain entry into purgatory, one must shed a drop of blood while standing outstretched in a pentacle drawn with salt under the shadows of the tallest monument on earth which was builtbased on the sigil of Lucifer which coincidently was also Lucius’ birthmark on his forearm.
After a few misguided attempts at the Eiffel tower in Paris and the Kio towers in Spain, they discovered that the tallest twin structure on the planet was the Petronas twin towers of Malaysia and its outline was made of the 6 bars of the sigil as predicted. By this time, both Memphistopheles and Azazel had learnt of their plan and had seeked the help of the Thesalian witches for their evil plot and to gain entry to earth at will. Azazel had also obtained a powerful elixir from the witches that would ensure Faust’s soul no return to hell and to be dead forever hence keeping their secrets safe from Lucifer. He had successfully transformed into a German Shepard and launched an attack at Faust while their private jet was refueling in Dubai, U.A.E. Memphistopheles rejoiced with the news that Faust will soon die due to the poison injected into him. This consoled him a little from the humiliation he suffered at a previous failed attempt against Lucius back in Moscow.
In the meantime, the trio had successfully crossed time and space into a land called purgatory. Their plan had worked, they were triumphant. However, their joys we short-lived for just as they were about to inspect and investigate this new world in awe, they were captured by the Nephilims, Grigoris and Irins rulling there under their leader Semyaza and Uriel; the angel of death. Lucius, Cherubiel and Faust were devastated, all their efforts were in vain. They had just gone out of the frying pan and into the fire and now their hearts sank as they were ordered to be killed.
Faust felt a sharp pain and turned behind before collapsing to the ground. Memphis was standing behind him with an evil grin. He had stabbed Faust from the back. Cherubiel couldn’t hold back her tears. Memphitopheles turned out to be also one of the leaders of purgatory unknown to others. When Semyaza said ‘welcome my friend’. Cherubiel was shocked that her eyes bulged out.
Back in hell, the cell of Faust was no more and had evaporated since his soul was destroyed. Pharos was the first to notice this and hurried as fast as he could, hurled himself across Lucifer’s throne with news of Faust’ death and everything he knew. Lucifer’s face changed at once. It grew dark and fierce. In an instant he was surrounded by a cloud of smoke and he vanished into thin air only to appear moments later at Avernus the portal. He summoned Azazel and the Thessalian witches with a booming voice so loud that it made the giant minotaur hide like a puppy behind Azazel. No one dared to look at Lucifer. The witches opened to portal and there below him on the dark lake of Avernus, Lucifer saw his son, captured like a beast in purgatory.
The sudden looming thunder storm in purgatory was enough for Memphis to know that something was not right, so he quickly disappeared from the scene. Lucifer couldn’t control his furry, he raised his hands and hurled down thunderbolts and lightning towards the giant Nephilims and the soldiers of purgatory while they attacked the sky in vain. But in a blink of an eye, Semyaza shot his arrow towards Lucius and before the prince of hell could deflect it, it hadstruck him straight in the chest. It was too fast. Cherubiel let out a shriek. This couldn’t be happening she thought. It wasn’t supposed to end like this. She couldn’t leave without Lucius and with whatever courage she had left, took out a pin from her sleeves and drove it straight to her heart. She fell next to Lucius.
Lucifer who had witnessed all this, was on his knees on the hovering stones above the dark lake now on fire. He stretched an arm trying to scoop his son up but he couldn’t. Lucius’ crown had turned white. He knew his son had done good and his soul is in heaven already. In that instant, Lucifer stood up, a pair of giant black wings spread from the back of his robe, all the nine levels of hell was shuddering and flapping his wings, Lucifer shot up in flames crying his son’s name aloud. It was as if hell was on fire. He landed on the white marbled great hall of heaven like a comet from outer space. All the angels and heavenly beings gasped in shock and utter disbelief. Some dared not breathe. Lucifer had returned! He was bigger and more majestic than all the other angels. He strode down the hall slowly leaving burnt skid marks on the floor cracking beneath him while searching for his son amongst the thousands of onlookers on both sides of the great hall. He was a stark contrast to this background which was once his home and kingdom. He then saw the archangel Gabriel at the end of the hall holding a scepter just like him and launched an attack. Gabriel deflected it effortlessly and warned Lucifer that Michael will soon be back and that Lucius entered heaven fair and square and that he could follow him should he wished to do so. Lucifer turned tothe left and there he finally saw his son, in white, seated among the angels looking poised and next to him was Cherubiel. His eyes said it all, Lucius had found his place and he was happy and content. Without much deliberation, Lucifer again took off in the same manner while blasting the pearly gates on his way out.
