A devil's tale- starting idea

“Wake up, Dante. Lucifer requires your presence in the meeting.” 1

“Fuck off” Dante murmured.2

“It is urgent Dante. I thought years of punishment for disobedience would have made you learn something.” Hadrian, Lucifer’s assistant said in a reproving voice. 3

Dante rolled over, wanting to block off the old devil’s voice. Then he jumped up like a bolt. Hadrian was indeed right. He should have learned something about being punctual, especially to meetings headed by his cranky grandfather. 4

Disoriented, he looked around and saw naked humans around him from the orgy he had started last night. For a while he contemplated killing everyone. He was seriously pissed that he had to wake up to do his grandfather’s bidding. But then, it wouldn’t be fun to kill them all especially when they were sleeping. God forbid, he did something that could result in anyone going to heaven. 5

He stood up groggily. He needed a shower, he thought grumpily. Only his mighty highness devil the grouchy grandfather might decide to call a war on him if he was late again. That thought made his bad mood worse as he flashed himself back into his Devil’s den, the eternal hell for the devils.6

Dante made his way purposefully towards the throne room of Lucifer, changing from his human form to his devil form. In his human form he looked an irresistibly handsome male with black hair and green blue eyes. In his devil form he still looked like his human form but he also had black horns on his head and four symmetrical black claw-like marks on both of his cheeks and a tail that he despised. Unlike other devils Dante hated his devil form but he definitely had to be in his devil form if he was going into his grandfather’s presence.7

What made Dante most bitter was that he was punished for a crime he didn’t commit. He hadn’t been among the original angels who had mutinied against gods commandments yet, just because he was a spawn of Lucifer and Azazel, he was deemed a devil. 8

For centuries he was confined in the prison called Devil’s den, until he became strong enough to fight the angels and committed enough sins to please Lucifer to send him into the human realm. He hated the humans for that. At least they had a choice. He never had one. In the end he was destined to go to hell anyway.9

Dante went through the gates of the throne room decorated with real human and demon skulls. He saw an agitated looking Hadrian breath a sigh of relief as he noticed Dante. Dante got his grandfather’s attention as well. He knelt before Lucifer as was expected of him and said “Your humble servant at your service your majesty.”10

“Ah, Dante” Lucifer stood up and came down to him. “Stand up, I have been waiting for you, son.”11

Wearily, Dante stood up slowly wondering what had caused Lucifer to acknowledge him as his son. Instinct told him whatever was going to happen couldn’t be good-for him at least.12
