THE WEDDING

It all started in the time when angels, demons, and humans lived together. In an abandoned house, a woman was trying to give birth. The sky started to get dark and the moon was blood red. The shadows of darkness were cast upon the house. 

The woman giving birth attempted to give birth on her own, continuously scraping her stomach with her hand, breathing wildly, and the baby came out of her private part and landed on the bed; she sat up and tried to carry her baby, who was crying in her arms; the blankets were soaked in blood, and she started hearing crunching footsteps heading her way.

The door flew open and she saw Lucifer. He was fifty feet tall with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on his horns and blasphemous names on his heads. He was like a leopard; his feet were like a bear's, and his mouth was like a lion's mouth. He grinned, and his teeth, which were sweeping the floor, were exposed. 

"Ahhhhh!!" The woman screamed at the top of her lungs and fainted, falling onto the bed in horror.

"My bride," he stated in a rumbling tone, taking the baby from the side of the bed. It was a girl. The baby was still covered in blood. He gave the baby to his dervish female servant, and they took the baby away with them. He followed behind, and they all fell with the baby into the realm of darkness ( hell). 

They descend into the pit of hell, where the heat of the fire and the screams of people who are burning fill the air. He watched the people scream as he made the baby immune to the fire. It wasn’t affecting or penetrating her skin.

They landed in a big castle in hell, which had a lot of scary and weird-looking demons at the entrance, with their horns like those of a reindeer. Lucifer fed his three-headed dog with some human flesh, and the female servant washed the baby, who was crying continuously in the bathtub. 

"Why would our king choose a human as a wife?" One of the female servants gossiped, watching the one who was bathing the baby.

"I have no idea, but I am certain he knows what he is doing. I think this baby is not an ordinary child for our king to go to great lengths to get her." The one holding the baby said, as two other female servants walked into the room and handed her a little outfit that looked similar to that of humans, but it was made with soft fabrics. 

"You guys should stop gossiping and focus on what you are here to do. Our king is out there waiting patiently." The servant scolded the both of them. They both glared at her and continued dressing the baby without uttering a word.

"Stop crying!" the servant grumbled, staring at the baby. "Screw human babies!" she said, under her breath. 

Hours later,

The servant carrying the baby recognized Lucifer and bowed with respect before moving closer to him with her head held high. 

"Your highness, your wife is ready," a female servant said to him as he was sitting on the throne, resting his hand on the armrest.

"Tell the other demons to organize for the wedding ceremony, for their king is getting married," he declared with a deep voice.

The wedding began with the servant lifting the baby to Lucifer. He stared at the baby, who was still crying in the arms of the servant, moving her little hands. 

"From today henceforth, you are my wife. Your name is Lucinda, which means illumination, and you are the queen of my right hand." He stated in a deep voice, staring at the baby.

Lucifer cut his right hand with a knife, and blood started pumping out of his hand. He placed his hand on the baby's forehead, with the baby giggling continuously. And the blood filled the face of the baby, entering her mouth. 

"From today we are bound by flesh, united as one. When she is sad, I am sad. When she is happy, I am happy," he said in a deep voice, and all the demons and servants cheered and toasted to the wedding devouring human flesh like it's their daily bread, singing, and dancing with a lot of joy. 

"Medusa, you are my most trusted female servant and, as from today onward, I would like to assign my wife to you for protection and you will take care of her for her entire life." Lucifer commanded. She was a beautiful young demon, with her blood-red skin and her hazel eyes.

"Yes, your honor," she said, bowing before him with respect. 

"Now go take her and go and buy human breast milk for her to drink and grow up," he declared, tapping her on the shoulder. He dismissed her, turning his back on her. 

Medusa walked away carrying the baby. She arrived in her room and placed the baby on the bed, putting pillows around her in a square shape so she wouldn’t fall off the bed. The baby started crying continuously on the bed, moving her tiny legs with her mouth wide open. 

"I am coming, my darling." She muttered in a soft tone and stroked the baby’s face. She left the baby on the bed and sent another servant to come and watch over her while she flew away from the castle, flying to earth with her massive wings. 

Medusa arrived on earth and her skin turned into that of a human’s, she parked her hair into a bun, walking on the street of earth, when the sound of weeping caught her attention, she walked to where the sound was coming from and saw the mother of Lucinda crying hard on the floor. She stared at her with an indifferent expression.

"My baby," she said, crying and rolling on the floor, with her clothes covered with sand.
