Chapter 2 Lesson 1-2 - The Seven Brothers

After finishing the call, I started to wait for Mammon to come when Lucifer cleared his throat to get my attention. " Sounds like you had a nice chat." He was clearly being sarcastic, as he inserted himself into that "nice chat" when Mammon was about to hang up. "He seems reliable." I didn't want to be rude to Lucifer and his brothers and was told to never judge a book by its cover. Mammon was probably not in a good mood right now, and that was probably why he was rude to me.

"...You really think so?" Lucifer didn't seem like he believed me. "Well, if you were suddenly brought to a strange place and then get told that an unfamiliar face will now take care of you, you'd certainly feel anxious. However, Mammon isn't the only one to help you out. Now then...we still need to introduce our new friend to your brothers, Lucifer. And it's probably better that you do that instead of me, wouldn't you say?"

Lucifer sighed, seemingly upset to have to introduce his brothers, who could be even more troublesome than Mammon. "Yes... As much as I dread the idea of doing so, you're right." The three males that were still seated suddenly stood up and came over to greet me. I got a bit nervous when they came over, as I use to be socially awkward around people I didn't know or when surrounded by lots of people, let alone a lot of attractive guys.

"Oh, come now. Really? You should be honored that you get to introduce such a sweet and charming little brother like me!" One of the males pouted at Lucifer as if he had been wronged. He was almost as tall as Lucifer, had long sweeping bangs of light caramel-pinkish hair, and pinkish-orange eyes. He was wearing the same uniform as me and had painted his fingernails pink. I found him to be very attractive.

"This one here is Asmodeus. He's the fifth eldest. He is the Avatar of Lust." After hearing this, I became wary but still attracted to Asmodeus. Asmodeus, the demon of lust, was an angel who was cast out of Heaven and became a demon, like most of his brothers. "Wh...I can't believe you just totally ignored what I said! And not only that, you referred to me as this one. How rude!"

Asmodeus crossed his arms, upset about being treated like anything other than royalty. "Hmph. At least he didn't ignore you altogether. How do you think I feel?" The male who was frowning was also almost as tall as Lucifer, had messy layered blonde hair, green-yellow gradient eyes, and slightly darker colored skin compared to Lucifer. He also wore a uniform like mine and his nails were painted green.

"That one there is Satan, the fourth eldest of us. At first glance, he may seem like a responsible demon with a good head on his shoulders, but looks can be deceiving." I flinched when I heard Lucifer introduce Satan. Satan, the only one of the seven brothers that was a pure demon, or so they say, and is the demon of wrath. "Aha, so I'm that one, am I? Nice to meet you, Daisy. I am Satan, the Avatar of Wrath."

Satan seemed to be kind and good-natured, but he is known as the Avatar of Wrath? Is this what Lucifer meant by "looks can be deceiving"? 'Then that is something we may have in common. I am usually sweet and kind, but if you push me too far then I go into a demonic rage.' "The Avatar of Wrath?", I asked, wanting to learn more. "It basically sums up what he's about. He may flash you a pretty smile like that, but you had better be careful because it is all an act." 'I thought so. It would just seem stupid if they were just given a title that didn't seem to fit with who they are.'

"If you continue saying such nonsense, you'll just scare Daisy. Don't take him too seriously, Daisy. Lucifer enjoys speaking ill of his brothers. He is the Avatar of Pride, after all." I felt like part of what Satan said was a lie, as he was cloaked in a menacing aura while giving Lucifer a dark smile. "*sigh* Are you done? Now, the one there with the very grumpy look on his face is Beelzebub. He's the sixth oldest." Lucifer gestures to the male who was holding his stomach as it growled super loudly.

"Lucifer, I'm hungry." Beelzebub was slightly taller than Lucifer, had messy orange almost spiky hair, and purple-pink gradient eyes. He wore a uniform similar to mine, had orange painted fingernails, and ripped muscles. 'Holy hell, all of them are attractive, yet dangerous, in their own way.' "That's too bad. Now behave yourself." Lucifer frowns at Beelzebub, who was sulking for being scolded for being hungry.

"I'm Beelzebub, the Avatar of Gluttony." Beelzebub, like most of his brothers, was an angel that was casted out of Heaven and became the demon of gluttony. 'You remind me of my younger sister. She is always hungry, yet she is so slim.' "So...There are seven brothers in all, and I am the eldest. Mammon, the second oldest of us, will be here soon. My other brothers aren't here at the moment, but...well, we can get to them later. All in good time." Lucifer seemed upset when he mentioned his brothers that I haven't met yet.

"During your stay in the Devildom, the seven brothers will lend you their strength. To keep you safe, you are to stay with them at the House of Lamentation." I was aware that I wouldn't always be safe in the Devildom, as I was just an ordinary human with no magical abilities surrounded by demons. I was more curious about where I would be staying. "The House of Lamentation? What kind of place is that?"

"Yes, it's where I live with my brothers. It is a rather spacious house, and it was originally a cursed house in the human world. So, I assume it won't be a problem for you-a human-to live there." I was nervous and excited to hear about a cursed house, as I not only believe and learned about angels and demons, but ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and the like as well.

"Although we will all be living together, you should still have the means to reach us at any given time. All of our phone numbers are already in there. And your D.D.D. also has a messaging app. Make sure to add all of us." I grabbed my D.D.D. out of my pocket and I started adding them to the messaging app. "I'll go ahead and send you a message." Diavolo took out his D.D.D. so he could send me a message.

"Isn't that nice, Daisy. Now you will be friends with the future king of the demons." Satan chuckled, teasing me, but I just ignore him and got on the messaging app of my D.D.D. to respond to Diavolo's text.

Diavolo - This is my account.

Diavolo - Feel free to send me a message at any time.

Diavolo - (╬θʍθ╬)

Diavolo - Oh sorry.

Diavolo - I haven't gotten used to this yet.

Diavolo - You see, Lucifer is the only demon who sends me messages.

Diavolo - (❁´▽`❁)

Diavolo - That's the one I wanted to send you!

Daisy - ('Thanks'(≧ ▽ ≦))

Diavolo - ('Whoo!'(*^_^*))

When I was finished texting, I put my D.D.D. back in my pocket, and I looked to Diavolo. He smiled at me and I smiled back. As Lucifer and his brothers were talking amongst themselves, I sat back down and continued to wait for Mammon. 'I wish Mammon would just get here already. I am ready to learn more about him and the brothers I still haven't met.'
