ELIZABETH'S SPECIAL DAY 2
Dazzled Lucifer couldn't help but stare emptily at the woman
Noticing his stare, Elizabeth stared back, taking but a moment to recall her bold actions, she went full red.
"I-I…" She stammered.
Snapping out of it, Lucifer looked away and said "It's okay, eat your food and prepare to go out"
"Go out?" She asked
"Yes, it's your birthday you know" Lucifer reminded her
"Okay…" She said, in a very quiet voice.

A number of hours later, Lucifer had entertained Elizabeth properly on her special occasion, nabbing himself a number of Elizabeth's dazzling smiles, that he would forever burn into his memorie.
Now outfitted in a grey suit, Lucifer proceeded down the elevator to the parking lot of the Starfold building, where an enchanting maid, with some a light blush in her face, and a green one piece dress waited.
"You ready?" Lucifer asked as he took extra glances at the beauty, who couldn't help but get even more flustered as he did.
"Y-Y-Yes" She responded as Lucifer opened the door for her and both got in to the back seat.
"Get us somewhere fancy M.I.N.E.R.V.A" Lucifer said as the automated car started driving itself away.
As the duo found their self's pervade in silence, curiosity gnawed at Lucifer and being unable to hold out, he asked Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth… I have had this question since a while now…why did you never tell me when…" He began to say, yet was cut off as Elizabeth who had only been staring out the window of the car, said in a weak voice.
"Why? Didn't I tell you of the date of my birthday young master? It's because… It is not only the date of my birthday, but also the anniversary… of my parent's death and because nothing good ever happens in my birthday" She said in an ever growing faint voice.
Hearing this Lucifer's is astounded and can't help but lower his head 'Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! She obviously doesn't want a birthday if she hid it all the time! Making her a birthday, what were you thinking?' He though, as guilt wrapped him whole.
Taking a breath Lucifer raises his head and looks at Elizabeth, while taking her hand "If you want we can…"
Gripping his hand Elizabeth waves her other hand telling him to stop, and as she looks at him, she displays a beautiful smile "it's okay young master, you have done so much, I'm sure it will all right…" She trails off.
As Lucifer looked at this kind hearted woman, he swore to tear away all those bad memories she held on 'I will give you the best birthday ever, so much so there won't ever be anything other than these new memories in your mind'
After the short exchange, they remained silent for the rest of the trip.

Arriving at a lavish restaurant, housed on the highest floor of a lesser known land marks in New York, with an open roof threw which one could dine with the stars at night, the mild mid-day burn could toast one at noon, or the glistening golden lights of dawn could dazzle the consumers in the hours after the dusk receded.
Siting in a more secluded corner, where Lucifer and Elizabeth, enjoying the wonders provided by the best chefs the establishment could offer, while exchanging witty banter in between their feast.
"Do you like it?" Asked Lucifer, as he gazed up at stars, at the prima mater of his own soul.
"Yes young master, it is a most beautiful establishment and the scenery is simply breath taking" She answered.
"I was talking about that" Lucifer said as he lowered his head, to gaze at the pendant that hung around Elizabeth's neck.
It was the most fitting gift for the woman before him, for all she meant to him, its shape and materials, where not all the pretty necklace had in store, the crystal was a unique material Lucifer's Shadow Corps had found in his quest for the materials he initially set out to find. The crystal gave out low levels of cosmic radiation, that Lucifer found out could not only boost a person's natural healing rate, it could catalyze the development of any latent abilities in a subject, such as the X gene in humans, yet if this was all, it would not be anything much. The crystal not only catalyzed development, it purified the being who had contact with the Crystal, constantly refining all aspects of the person in question, such as making a beta level X gene into an Omega level X gene, with time. Other uses where it's incredible ability to store objects, working the same as a storage ring in cultivation novels, with a virtual unlimited space. High compatibility with magic matrix, which allowed the stacking of diverse spells onto the crystal with seemingly no end. Finally it gave it's bearer an endless amount of vitality, allowing a longevity unequaled in the universe. Honestly it worked as the fabled elixir of eternal youth.
While its core, a new born stars core, was less impressive by comparison, it was none the less grand. Near unlimited energy, with the added perks of granting pyrokinesis, gravitokinesis to its wearer, all attributed to Lucifer's dominance over the celestial body. Its bordering details, vibranium made details, while apparently unremarkable, where actually made by folded sheets of the metal, with an anti-weight spell on top, these details would serve, a more impressive purpose down the line.
It was topped off by countless charms, inscriptions and hexes that would forever safe guard Elizabeth, although after the years together, Lucifer had imbued Elizabeth with all manner of magical and technological protection, enough to even claim she was untouchable by any manner of harm in the multiverse, one more measure could never hurt.
"I… I love it young master" Elizabeth said as she too gazed at the pendant, fondness and care noticeable in her eyes as she placed the pendant between her fingers, while stroking it with her thumb.
"It is my greatest treasure in the world…" She says and pauses, while gazing back up at Lucifer who was currently staring at the pendant, in deep contemplation.
"Besides you" She whispers, while showing a faint smile.
