Sibling Conversation And Punishment

Hell, hell, hell! This was a place where God decided to unload his dark imaginations on. Humans could not simply comprehend the horrors that was going on in here. Demons were the ruthless jailors, only dailed by a thousand. They take pleasure in ensuring the being they are torturing is broken physically, mentally and spiritually before the energies heal them back up and they are thrown back to the drawing board.

"Hmm, there is surprisingly low number of humans and a lot of aliens around," Cassandra observed as she made her daily inspection of the place. She just couldn't trust demons not to be their demony selves and try to broker deals of letting the souls escape in exchange for a few years of being alive once more only for their souls to be devoured by them! Even she herself could feel the constant hunger of devouring souls but it was more like a craving. It did not drive her to do unspeakable horrors just to get one soul. She was in control.

"My Lady, every demon is accounted on!" a bug like demon said, giving her a magical scroll. She opened it and it showed a list of every demon in Hell along with their names and their location.

"Okay, leave," she said, making the demon fly away like he had been given a pardon. She was currently the most powerful demon in existence and ultimately the ruler of Hell. But, the demons knew that would change if Lucifer recovered well enough to take the throne for himself. Even if they knew that, her power itself was just too terrifying for them to try anything.

"They fear you," she heard a voice say. Sighing, she teleported to where Lucifer's cage was. It was suspended above a volcano whose temperatures would make a gamma ray burst event seemed cold. But the two were barely feeling it. It was more of a prevention she had made towards any demon that would try to free Lucifer till his punishment ended.

"How are the cuffs, brother? Hope the torment is just too much," she greeted him, making Lucifer chuckle.

"I have to admit, you are creative in your torture, perhaps a little too creative. It just makes me want to rip you apart even more," Lucifer growled the last part at her. Cassandra just shrugged.

"Look, I am just the messenger, alright. Besides, the bigger the torture, the lesser time it will be for you to stay in this cage. I am finding ruling over Hell very much tedious and would like to just go to my real job of just watching over it!"

"You think I want to rule this place either? What I want is..."

"The throne of heaven, blah blah blah!" Cassandra said tiredly.

"Most importantly, I want to have freewill like His creations have," Lucifer softly said.

"Freewill?" she asked before she burst out laughing. "Freewill is just an illusion been dangled in every being's mind. Freewill is just a concept that no one can ever achieve. I have come to know that God says he created them with freewill but later punishes them for going according to that. He wrote Laws that further restricted their freewill! If you want freewill, you will have to kill Him and take all his power." Lucifer was surprised by her outburst and even more by her logic.

"Or, you can just escape Fate's chains by your own power and convince yourself you are finally free," she said as she showed him the chains that had been shackled onto herself. They were Fate's chains, specially made for beings with unfathomable powers created with a purpose.

"So you can feel them, even summon them," Lucifer said in surprise.

"Of course, I can even break them and be free of Fate but then, what will I be? Just another demon that decided to fuck with God and brought down His wrath. See, as long as He exists, none of us will ever be free!" she said. She then looked down at Hell and scoffed.

"Excuse me, some demon down there is trying to fuck with my job!" she said before flying down.

"Freewill is an illusion, huh? Nicely said, sister, nicely said!" Lucifer said before looking up."Yet I crave it even more.

"Hey, you, what are you doing?" Cassandra howled at the demon that had caught her eye being suspicious. The demon looked like a bull and a goat mated and had a child, bulky, ferocious looking and had two bat like wings behind it. It was carrying a huge sack behind it, making it stand out.

"My Lady, I'm just bringing some feaces over to a soul I was torturing," the demon defended itself.

"Feaces huh? Well, you might as well be right, that soul does smell like it," she said as she turned the sack into sulphur and a soul of a human fell out. It was a man, can't tell his race for a soul is a soul. Unless they are being tortured one can never tell their race for that does not exist here. Everyone is tortured because of what they did. However, this soul had dark spots on it which meant it was supposed to be in the deeper parts of hell.

"My Lady, please, have mercy!" the demon cried out, kneeling and bowing with all its might.

"Well, I am a magnanimous ruler," she said before snapping her fingers. The demon suddenly cried out in pain as its entire being was warped and it was changed to become a human like soul! Due to its nature of being a demon, its entire soul was black, a never seen color before in a soul. "I would have killed you but now, you get to spend the rest of your life living as these puny beings you were trying to take out of Hell!"

"No! No! Anything but this!" the former demon shrieked in terror. As a former torturer, he certainly knew what was in store for him now that the roles were reversed. Demons were vindictive little creatures and they would want to torture him just to figure out how a former demon would fare. Suddenly, the former demon felt himself been dragged away, making him try to grip at anything but failed spectacularly.

"Please, if you let me out of this place, I will give you riches beyond your wildest dreams. I have gold, silver, exotic oils..." the human did not get to finish as his mouth just closed up and ceases to exist.

"I can just snap my fingers and I can have everything I want. I can take over the universe and only ones the only ones tha can stop me can only be counted with one hand! You are so insignificant I do not even bother to give you a nickname. A speck of energy's shit I would not even waste my breathe on!" she told the man, each word breaking his psyche over and over again till he was just a shell of a soul! "Since you love riches so much, how about I give you it to you." She telekinetically lifted the soul over to a mountain where she changed him into a gold mine. Flocks of demons gathered there almost immediately, carrying pickaxes and started mining the gold. With each strike of a pick axe, an anguished scream filled the entire hell.

"I'm learning so much!" Lucifer mumbered, looking at this scene with interest before the cuffs on his hands glowed and her jerked, unimaginable pain souring through his body!
