12. Corporeal Punishment
Nov. 1st, 2010 08:28 pmWhen Lucifer fell, he burned.
A being of pure soul, when he was exiled from Heaven, he was cast from the Light into Darkness. From air to earth and fire. From spirit, to... something else.
On his throne, Lucifer raised his hand and looked at it, flexing the fingers carefully. Eons later, his skin still burned with the fire of his downfall, his bones still grated broken ends against each other. The Prince of Lies could disguise his pain from others, but he couldn't deny it to himself. Of all punishments, for a creature of light and air to be saddled with flesh and bone and pain...
Lucifer. Unforgiven and unforgiving.
