The Throne and light
LOVE BETWEEN ANGLE AND DEVIL
I sit on My Throne . The wars are over, mostly. The rebellions, crushed. Demons squabble in the corners of my court, fighting over scraps of power, but none dare raise their eyes to me. Not anymore. Coz they fear the devil "ME"
I had peace.
Until the knock.
Yes, a knock. Not thunder. Not fire. Just... a sound, soft and deliberate, echoing through the obsidian gates of my realm. It was almost polite. Almost holy.
It shouldn't have been possible.
The Gate of Palace of Hell wide open
I rose. My generals stiffened, eyes wide. Even my shadows recoiled. Only one being could pass through all that darkness and remain untouched.
Only one dared.
When the gates parted, the light spilled in—sharp, silver, and clean.
And It's " HIM "
The Only one you dared
A face sculpted from serenity and storms. Wings folded behind him like galaxies, too vast for the eye to hold. He looked out of place, like a star had wandered into a grave.
And still, He smiled.
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
You're bold to walk into Hell alone ( stern voice )
𓆩Kaiden ( God of Heaven )
(faint smile )I didn’t come here to fight
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
(smirking) That’s what they all say.
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
Just before they bleed.
𓆩Kaiden ( God of Heaven )
(stepping forward, unshaken)
𓆩Kaiden ( God of Heaven )
Then maybe I’m not like the others.
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
No.
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
You’re worse.
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
You're the reason this war exists. The reason I fell.
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
(pauses, eyes narrowing)
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
So tell me, Kaiden—what could possibly bring the King of Heaven to my door ..
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
unarmed and uninvited !?
𓆩Kaiden ( God of Heaven )
(softly) You
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
(laughs, but there's no joy in it)
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
Is this your idea of penance? Or pity?
𓆩Kaiden ( God of Heaven )
Neither.
𓆩Kaiden ( God of Heaven )
I came because the world is breaking...
𓆩Kaiden ( God of Heaven )
And I can’t fix it without the one who knows how to burn.
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
Flattery won’t save you
𓆩Kaiden ( God of Heaven )
I’m not here to be saved, Lucien.
(a pause)
I’m here to remind you who you were. And who we were.
For a second, behind the crown of thorns and fire, something human—something wounded—shows.
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
That was lifetimes ago
𓆩Kaiden ( God of Heaven )
And yet I remember every word
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
(quiet, sharp) Then you should also remember how it ended.
𓆩Kaiden ( God of Heaven )
It hasn’t ended.
𓆩Kaiden ( God of Heaven )
(He steps closer. Closer than he should. Closer than anyone dares.)
Not for me.
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
I burned cities for less than that sentence.
𓆩Kaiden ( God of Heaven )
(softly) And yet you haven’t burned me.
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
{Damn him.
Damn his calm voice, his celestial stillness, the way he looks at me like I’m still something sacred.}
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
{But I never learned how to crush him.}
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
(voice low) Say what you came to say, Kaiden. Or leave before my patience forgets it once knew you.
𓆩Kaiden ( God of Heaven )
I didn’t come to fight.
𓆩Kaiden ( God of Heaven )
I came to ask you to stand beside me—one last time.
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
(laughs)
The sound echoes through the chamber like cracking bone
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
You think I’d fight for Heaven again?
𓆩Kaiden ( God of Heaven )
No.
(a beat)
I want you to fight for me.
The words hang there, between us. Dangerous. Unholy. True.
𓆰Lucien (King of Hell )
(quietly, almost bitter) You don’t know what you’re asking.
𓆩Kaiden ( God of Heaven )
(meeting my gaze) I know exactly what I’m asking.
And damn me again…
Because part of me wants to say Yes
