Lucifer stood on his patio, staring at the full moon hanging heavy above him. The moonlight looked directly at him, almost respectfully. Lucifer understood nights like this nights when the spirits were at their strongest.The grand doors behind him opened. Out stepped the Queen of Seduction, beautiful and deadly, her walk dripping with seduction in every step."My love," she said softly, "Lucifer… Azazel is here. And the one you requested."Lucifer smiled warmly at her. "Thank you, my love." He pulled her close and kissed her slow, deep, intimate." If you need anything," she whispered, "call for me." Then she turned and walked back inside the mansion. Moments later, Azazel stepped out onto the patio. Beside him was an old, fragile woman dressed in a black robe. Beads of every shape and color hung from her neck, and one necklace carried the carved head of a goat. Azazel escorted her carefully by the hand."Supreme," Azazel said, "the Black Witch is here." Lucifer nodded. "Thank you, Azazel."
He turned to the witch. "Are you prepared?" The witch's voice was warm, almost gentle. "Yes, my lord. Tonight's moon is the strongest I have seen in many years." "Good," Lucifer said and began to undress. Standing bare under the moonlight, Lucifer closed his eyes as the witch began her ritual. She walked slow circles around him, chanting in an ancient tongue, her hands moving in strange gestures over his body. Azazel watched silently. The witch pulled out a small vial of blood. She dipped her fingers into it and began drawing symbols across Lucifer's skin symbols of power, symbols of darkness, symbols of ancient evil. Then she knelt and drew a large sigil around Lucifer on the patio floor a symbol representing pure darkness. She stepped back and painted lines on her own face between her eyes, down her chin. "It is finished," she said. Lucifer inhaled deeply. His body trembled a violent shake but he controlled it with calm precision. The sigil on the floor ignited into flames, circling him in a ring of fire.Lucifer clenched his jaw, eyes closed, fighting the possession trying to crawl into him.Then he looked up at the moon and roared "It's done!" He dropped his arms.
The flames vanished instantly. Azazel and the witch watched closely. Lucifer opened his eyes.They were no longer human they were red snake eyes. Before Azazel could react, Lucifer moved with impossible speed faster than Azazel had ever seen and grabbed the witch by the throat, lifting her off the ground. She kicked and clawed, fighting for her life, but Lucifer's grip was unbreakable.Then he threw her aside like nothing. "Azazel," Lucifer said coldly, "make sure the troops are ready. I don't want to wait a minute longer than necessary." Lucifer walked back into the mansion. Azazel looked at the witch as she gasped for breath, finally able to speak."You… you know how to get home," Azazel said.The witch nodded weakly. "Yes, Lord…"Azazel spread his wings and flew upward straight toward the full moon.
