Chapter 1 Birth of Darkness

The air was thick with sulfur, the ground seething with molten rock. In the heart of Hell, where even the bravest demons dared not tread, something unprecedented was occurring. The sky, a constant swirl of fire and smoke, seemed to pause as if holding its breath. Deep within the infernal palace, hidden away from the prying eyes of Hell's denizens, the Devil himself stood over a fiery cradle, his eyes glowing with a mixture of pride and trepidation.

There, wrapped in shadows and flames, lay Lucien-his son.

Lucien was no ordinary demon. His birth had been prophesied eons ago, whispered among the damned, and feared by even the most powerful of Hell's rulers. The offspring of the Devil and a mortal woman, Lucien was a creature of two worlds, his very existence a violation of the natural order. His skin was pale, almost human, but his eyes burned with the fires of Hell, and tiny, sharp horns already protruded from his forehead.

The Devil, a figure of unimaginable power and malevolence, gazed down at his son with a rare flicker of something almost like affection. Yet beneath that veneer of fatherly pride, there was a deep, gnawing fear. Lucien's potential was immense, perhaps even greater than his own. The Devil knew that this child could either be his greatest triumph or his ultimate downfall.

As the infant Lucien opened his eyes for the first time, the flames around him flared violently, reacting to his untrained power. The Devil's hand hovered over him, the fire calming under his influence. The child was dangerous, even now.

"Lucien," the Devil whispered, his voice a low rumble that shook the very foundations of Hell. "My son. My heir. You will be the one to reshape the worlds, to bring the heavens to their knees and reign in an era of darkness."

Yet even as he spoke these words, a shadow of doubt crossed his mind. Lucien was still an enigma. His mother, a mortal woman of rare beauty and strength, had given him a humanity that was alien to Hell. The Devil had kept her hidden, a secret from the other demons, and now she was gone, lost to the mortal world she belonged to. Lucien would never know her, but the trace of her humanity lingered in his blood.

The Devil dismissed the thought with a sneer. What did it matter? Humanity was weakness, and Lucien would have none of it. He would mold the boy into a weapon, a force that would command fear and respect throughout all realms.

As Lucien grew, so did his power. From an early age, he showed signs of his unique heritage. He could summon flames with a thought, control shadows, and even manipulate the minds of lesser demons. The denizens of Hell spoke of him in hushed tones, both in awe and in fear. Some saw him as a savior, a figure who would lead Hell to its rightful dominion over all creation. Others saw him as a threat, a being too powerful to be controlled, even by the Devil himself.

But Lucien was still a child, and like all children, he was curious. He would wander the dark corridors of the infernal palace, exploring its endless labyrinths, seeking out the secrets hidden within its walls. One day, during one of his explorations, he stumbled upon a chamber he had never seen before. The door was ancient, inscribed with runes that pulsed with an eerie light.

Compelled by an inexplicable force, Lucien pushed the door open and stepped inside. The room was unlike any other in Hell. It was small and dimly lit, with walls lined with strange artifacts. But what caught his attention was a large mirror standing at the center of the room. Its surface was smooth and reflective, but as Lucien approached, the reflection it showed was not his own.

Instead, the mirror showed the image of a woman-a woman with gentle eyes and a kind smile. She was beautiful, her features delicate and serene. Lucien felt a strange warmth in his chest, something he had never experienced before. It was as if the woman was familiar to him, as if he had known her all his life.

"Who are you?" Lucien whispered, his voice echoing in the chamber.

The woman's image remained silent, but her eyes seemed to convey a deep sadness. Lucien reached out to touch the mirror, but as his fingers brushed against the surface, the image faded, replaced by his own reflection.

Confused and unsettled, Lucien left the chamber, the image of the woman lingering in his mind. He didn't understand the emotions that had stirred within him, but he knew one thing-there was more to his existence than he had been told.

And so, the seeds of doubt were planted in Lucien's heart, setting him on a path that would challenge everything he had been raised to believe.
