Chapter Text
Most don’t know of the creatures that lurk under, above, and among them while they live their sad lives of ignorance. Angels, Demons, Werewolves, Vampires, Ghouls, Ghosts, and thousands more creatures exist among the Humans that populate the planet Earth. These creatures were here millennia before the beginnings of Humanity, before the garden of Eden that introduced Humans to Earth. Before the planet was corrupted by their greed and filth. The creatures, “monsters”, hid from these diseased Humans in an attempt to shield themselves from being corrupted from them. Angels managed to escape to the heavens with very few marks on their souls as well as Fairies, who hid in the leaves of the trees that birthed them. Demons, however, were not as lucky, as their souls were completely darkened with the stains of Humans. Werewolves, Vampires, and Witches were luckier than the Demons, but were still largely affected by the disease of Humans. All were forced to change their nature in order to survive in the New World, they had to be more vicious than before Humans completely dominated the New World. The order of this New World was kill or be killed.
Even so, as time went on and Humans achieved greater intelligence and technological advancements, more creatures became better at hiding in plain sight, alongside the Humans, continuing their lives, told stories by their ancestors how it was before the corruption. Angels feared going to the surface, but always went down when commanded by their God. Demons had no qualms about wandering the surface as their souls were already corrupted beyond repair. The Humans were none the wiser as they walked among magical creatures that existed long before they did.
Earth’s God and Lucifer were on terms that commanded the flow of the planet and all its inhabitants. They both merely tolerated each other’s presence in the beginning, but farther down the road of time they eventually realized that there were multiple reasons they both existed and the rocky road to understanding opened on both sides. After many Eras, God and Lucifer had reached a point in their relationship where they realized that one balanced the other, and without the other, Life on the planet Earth would be disrupted and would fall into an abyss of fire and ice where everything would be destroyed.
Unlike the Humans believe, God did not create everything everywhere,instead they also were awoken into existence. They did not know in the beginning why they were made, they did not know how they were even made. They just knew that suddenly they had consciousness, and when they first looked around the empty they were floating in, they found there was another near them. It was Lucifer, who had also found themselves to suddenly have conscious with no understanding of how they were created. They just knew they detested the forever empty around them, and they were pleased to see another being floating, as they feared being alone. They attempted to move closer to each other, trying to see what they were. While Lucifer was attempting to move closer to God, a flash of yellow blinded both beings for a few minutes, and when they regained their sight, they saw an amorphous yellow mass in between them.
“Hello, we are your Creator.” An airy voice with a deep, heavy undertone came from the flowing being.
“Why? What is the purpose of this?” Asked God, whose voice was flat - void of any emotion.
“Your purpose will be revealed in due time, along with yours,” the Creator’s dual toned voice added towards Lucifer, “We will provide you a planet, and you will have all knowledge of this planet and its inhabitants. You will each control different parts of this planet, one will rule the land of the righteous and pure while the other will rule the land of the corrupted and wrongdoers.”
“Who will we be ruling?” Lucifer asked, their voice deeper and more melodic than God’s, confusion coloring their tone.
“You will know when it is time.” Replied the Creator.
Lucifer did not appreciate this response and glared at the Creator while God just nodded and accepted this reasoning at face value. Lucifer did not enjoy this and whipped around to God,
“You really accept this ‘answer’?”
“I could not know better, this is our Creator, who would gain very little by playing tricks on us.” Replied God simply, which only caused Lucifer’s anger to rise.
“Then you do not possess the ability to doubt, which does make you a rather unintelligent creature,” Jabbed Lucifer, who then turned to the Creator, “Why create us other than for your entertainment?”
“It is not for our entertainment, it is simply for the opportunity to create a world where we rarely intervene. It is not for us, but for you,” the Creator explained. They then looked at both God and Lucifer, “We are afraid that we have to take our leave now, we leave the fate of this planet in your hands now.”
With another yellow flash, the Creator disappeared. This time, though, the yellow flash had also brought along the planet they were to rule over. A beautiful blue planet with one large area of green was where they felt their cores being pulled to. This planet, they knew, was the planet they were to watch over.
This encounter was millions of years ago, and much has changed from then. Lucifer and God have become much closer as they have been through much together. They never bothered to correct the Humans, they would find out when they perished eventually anyways. With all the years these beings spent together, they never feared, even when their subordinates had come running to them, fearing the new creatures on the surface. The Humans, which they were aware that would be going to show up one day, both knew that Humans were going to completely dominate the surface of their planet.
The incident that was happening now, however, was the first time that Lucifer had ever feared. God had gotten sick - something unheard of - and they had not begun to get better. This in itself was concerning, but what made Lucifer pace for hours was the fact that neither knew this was going to happen, they even went as far as attempting to contact their Creator - something they’ve never tried before. Neither entity knew about anything that was happening to God. Neither knew if they would even survive. They were afraid - afraid that their best friend and life-long partner would perish, die, leave and never return. They were terrified.
