Childhood Memories pt.1

Around 2000 years ago god send his son to earth. This is the story known to man, but there is another one. A story about the son of Satan, the King of Hell, who came to earth. A Story that is neither happy nor sad, but one that's worth to tell.

In the prime of Christianity, the possibility of sending a son of Satan to earth was nearly zero. Even to this day it would be extremely hard to get it done, because the believe against hell still stays strong in society. Still, after around 150 centuries of failure Satan finally had this dream of his become true, when his eldest son Beelzebub was born a human.

As the child to a middle european farmers family, he grew up under the name of Benedict Sins within a small village. Just as his holy counterpart, Benedict could not recall any of his ancient memories within his early childhood, therefor he had what we today would call a good childhood. With one older Brother and a younger sister he lived in a lively household. But following that, he was as temperamental as it is characteristic for a middle child. Without the love for the youngest and the respect for the oldest, he was always the one less noticed by his parents. But what he lacked in love from his parents, his siblings gave him tenfold. Both his siblings had a to large of an age gap between them, to form a truly intimate relationship and so both had good connections to Benedict.

But at the age of seventeen, something happened to Benedict, that made the once lively child depressed and melancholic. It was a day like any other, the three siblings were making a trip to the nearby city. Their parents instructed them with some minor tasks that had to get done. It was a one and a half hour walk until one could see the city gates, but all of them enjoyed the leisure time they could spend together. Without a single worry in their mind they could just have fun and be happy on their way. Not a thought was spend worrying about their financial situation or problems they faced at school.

By the time they arrived at the city they split up, like they used to do. Everybody had different friends and interests, they wanted to follow in the city. Staying as a group would only slow them down, so that after doing all the tasks there would be no time for fun anymore. Benedict was assigned to go to the animal market, to buy some goats. With the experience of some years helping his parents, it was a task he could do within an hour time. Thinking that far, he knew he had around two hours of free time. With an over the years developed self-confidence, that had no particular reason to emerge and a bit of laziness, he decided to first have some fun and buy the goats later. Otherwise they would surly hinder him at moving through the city smoothly. Furthermore, there was someone, he absolutely wanted to see here.

Arriving before her house he rang the doorbell, while nervously fidgeting around with his fingers. To his disappointment, the door was not opened by her, but by her parents.

"Ohh its you Ben, sorry but Anna left in the morning. She said she was going out with some friends."

The disappointment in his heart grew bigger and bigger with each word, but in the end, there was nothing he could do about it. Although both had something going between them, where neither of them knew exactly what it was, he wasn't her husband or not even her fiancé. With a hanging head he had no other option but to leave.

After some time of wandering around aimlessly, he decided he could drop by his other friend within the city. His mood cheered up again on the way. His thoughts already in expectation of the good times with his friend, he came by a small allay. Thinking how it was this allay, that he and his good friend were always wasting their time leisurely, he decided on a whim, to drop by for old times' sake.

The moment he entered the street, shock was seen on his face followed from the feeling of getting hurt badly. Within the street one could see two silhouettes that were way to familiar to him. Both entangled and intertwining, like only lovers could be. One was the so-called good friend of him, while the other was Anna. His footsteps weren't light in the slightest, so it wasn't a surprise that he got noticed pretty fast. Two heads turning in his direction, the shock on his face was mirrored onto both of their faces as well.
