Chapter One
Billions of years had
passed since the fall of mankind into sin. Since then, the population of the
two had multiplied tens of billions of times over and the world had developed
and evolved into a world full of self-reliant beings that were godless. Sure,
just over half the population believed in a ‘god’, but most were false deities
and only a couple handfuls knew the true Father. The rest were deceived by
other men’s trickery and illusions. Children were exposed to the magic and
power of money; the poor ones wanting more, the rich ones spoiling themselves
on man made pleasures. The parents of these children exposed them to sins such
as greed and gluttony. It was no surprise as to why the world was full of
obese, lazy, power hungry people.
January 1st,
1988
A disgusted grunt
escaped the dark haired male as he walked the streets, invisible to the naked
eye. Everywhere he looked; the humans were stuffing food into their fat faces
or talking busily on the phone to co-workers, trying to plan new ways to trick
people out of their money. This was not how Lucifer had pictured things would
turn out after his falling out. Perhaps karma was a real thing? He got what he
wanted but in return he got this. He
expected a league of beings ready and willing to side with him when the war was
at its highest peak. But no, instead he got a bunch of people who would believe
in unicorns and six-armed men before they would even acknowledge his existence.
This needed to change, and soon. He needed an army on his side. The prophesied
date of the war’s end was coming soon.
This was exactly why
he was here on earth. He needed to find a suitor to help him plunge the world
into his complete control. Of course, he, himself, couldn’t do it himself. He
was only allowed very few days every century to show himself to the humans. And
he had saved these ones for the war. Besides, no one in this time would look at
him as the friendly face to lead the world to light. His whole being was filled
with the dark essence that repelled the independently innocent like two positive
magnets repelled one another. So that was his mission and that was what he was
going to accomplish. He took the whole day off of his rituals to find the one
person who could do what he had hoped to undertake.
There was a man
sitting at an outdoor table at a fancy café. He was talking on the phone,
eating his expensive lunch peacefully. A snobby look was plastered to his face
and he gave off a ‘better-than-you’ sort of feeling. No. He wasn’t the one.
Looking up the street, he spotted a woman. She was dressed in stiletto heels
with a tight skirt and a corset top on. Fishnet stockings covered her well
taken care of legs. Obviously she was good at persuading the men full of lust,
tricking them out of their money. She wasn’t it either. A woman couldn’t
possibly fulfill this job, no matter how persuasive she could be or how entrancing
she was.
A sigh escaped his
mouth this time. It would take him forever to find the right man for the job.
There had to be at least 30 billion men on this planet. Not one of them would
be good enough for the job. It was almost pointless trying to find someone with
all the perfect qualities. It might even be easier to send one of his demons to
do the job. But he couldn’t count on them to find someone perfect. The humans had
it right when they said, “If you want something done right, you have to do it
yourself”.
Now there was a
curious idea; ‘do-it-yourself’. Yes. That is what he was going to do. Instead
of finding someone with all the attributes he searched for, he was going to
give someone all those attributes. It would have to be a child. No. A baby
would be best. A baby could soak up all the things it needed to be like a
sponge. Now where to find a baby? The best guest would be at the hospital. And
so Lucifer headed to the Mercy General Hospital in downtown Sacramento,
California. He got there within the time it takes to blink. Lucky for him, there
was a woman giving birth to a baby boy. She named him Damien Archer Colton. He
had dark hair and could have possibly been the cutest baby born all year. He
would be perfect.
As soon as he was put into the nursery with
all the other children, Satan made his appearance.
“Heh…So you will be
my one chance at victory.” He said aloud to the infant with a voice that was as
deep as it was beautiful. He picked the sleeping child up into his arms. “Such
a tiny thing you are.”
A few moments were
silent as Lucifer stared down at Damien, then he placed his hand on his
forehead and spoke once again. “I suppose you’ll have to do.”
With a sudden flash
of dark light, Damien was sleeping in his temporary bed again and Satan had
gone. His work was done here. The boy now had all the right qualities to help
him in the future. He had given him strong leadership, a friendly personality,
the ability to make friends with no problem, a love for politics, a sense of
responsibility, a devoted mindset, and, most importantly, the plan for his
greatest deed; to rule all the nations. Within twenty-four years’ time, Damien
would be at the top of the world and his destiny would be fulfilled. He was
meant for so much greatness, evil as it was, and he didn’t even know it yet.
All that was left to
do now, was sit and wait for the boy’s story to unfold.
