Back story.

"I will see how much longer you can talk with such arrogance, the hell would eventually bow down to the heavens,"Michael shouts while retreating.

"WHAT AN EMBARRASSING FOR AN ANGEL, RUNNING WITH HIS TAIL BETWEEN HIS LEGS OR WINGS MAYBE"

"Aa! Excuse me, Can you send me back to my home,Please." Rowan mustering all his courage in those words.

OH! YOU WERE HERE I ALMOST FORGOT, WHAT DO YOU WANT?!

"I just wanna go home", Rowan said.

"GO HOME! THIS IS YOUR HOME! WHY DO YOU WANNA GO BACK TO THAT PLACE?! BESIDES, THERE IS NOWHERE FOR YOU TO GO, OR SHOULD I SAY THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "HOME" THAT YOU SPEAK OFF."

"What do you mean by that", Rowan said while showing a slight anger on his face.

"OH! WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT YOU ARE SOMETHING ELSE, SHOWING ALMOST NO FEAR IN MY PRESENCE, IMPRESSIVE!, I GUESS YOU WERE FOOLED BY MY FOLLOWER, HE GOES BY THE NAME OF "τέχνασμα"(Greek for: Deception, trick and fraud), HE CAN CHANGE IN ANY BEING AS ALONG HE LAYS HIS SIGHT ON THEM, HE MUST'VE TRICKED YOU WITH HIS MADE UP STORIES, THE PLACE YOU REFER TO AS "HOME" WAS NOTHING MORE THAN ONE HIS DECEPTION, HE CAN CAST ILLUSION ON HIS TARGET AND MAKE THEM DO HEINOUS DEEDS, ALL OF WHAT YOU EXPERIENCED WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A LUCID DREAM."

"N-No! No! No! It felt so real, No! it was real, You are lying," Rowan with denial and confusion written all over his face.

"AH! HUMAN DESPAIR, TIS' THE MOST DELECTABLE THING US DEMONS CAN EXPERIENCE!, BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS I SHOULD SHOW YOU THE REALITY OF THINGS."

Saying that "LUCIFER" Weve's his hand around and summons a mirror like projection, in that projection was Rowan's body laying in a dark place.

"WHAT IS THIS?!, Is this also one of your trick's demon?!" said Rowan with a dreadful expression.

HAHAHAHAHA!

"DO I LOOK LIKE I WOULD HAVE THE NEED OF USING SUCH TRICKS ON A MEASLY LITTLE THING SUCH AS YOURSELF, I CAN ALWAYS CRUSH YOU WITH A FINGER OF MINE, YOU'RE NOTHING TO ME, BUT YES MY SUBORDINATES DID USE SUCH MEANS ON YOU."

"But why me? What do you want from me? I have nothing to give to you." Rowan said with a sorrowful expression.

"YES, YOU ARE CORRECT THAT YOU HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER ME."

"Then why." Rowan said.

ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER ME, YOU AS A WHOLE HAS WORTH, YOU MIGHT NOT THINK OF YOURSELF AS MUCH BUT TO US DEMONS YOU ARE A PRECIOUS RESOURCE, YOU SEE WE DEMONS LIVE OFF BY FEEDING ON NEGATIVE EMOTIONS, THAT IS THE REASON WHY "HELL" IS A MODEL PLACE FOR DEMONS, HOWEVER; A DEMON'S VESSEL CAN ONLY HOLD SO MUCH NEGATIVE ENERGY, ANGELS ON THE OTHER DO NOT NEED A VESSEL THEY RECEIVE THEIR POWER FROM GOD ITSELF, AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF POWER, THAT IS ONLY REASON WHY WE DEMONS ARE WEAKER THAN ANGELS, IF ONLY THERE WAS A WAY FOR US TO GET A HOLD OF SUCH A VESSEL THAT CAN CONTAIN CLOSE TO AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF ENERGY, THEN WE WILL BE THE NEW RULERS OF THE UNIVERSE!"

"But that still doesn't explain, why you need me" Rowan asked.

"I WAS GETTING TO THAT, UPON CENTURIES OF RESEARCH AND EXPERIMENTS WE FOUND THE PERFECT VESSEL FOR SUCH A TASK, THEY CAN NOT ONLY STORE AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF ENERGY BUT ARE ABLE TO PRODUCE THE MOST RAW NEGATIVE ENERGY, IT WAS HUMAN, AN EXISTENCE SO FEEBLE YET SO PRESIOUS AND USEFUL, NOW THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS HOW WE COULD TRAVEL TO THE MORTAL REALM AND CONVINCE MORTALS TO OFFER THEMSELVES TO US, BUT GOD HAD ALREADY BRAINWASHED THE MOST OF THEM WITH HIS BULLSHIT LIES, SO WE HAD TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT COULD RIVAL AND SURPASS GOD'S UTOPIA, INSTEAD OF MAKING VAGUE PROMISING THE FUTURE OF A DISTANT UTOPIA WE GAVE THEM THE NOW, THEY CAN WISH FOR ANYTHING AND AFTER THEIR WISH HAD COMPLETED THEIR BODIES WOULD BELONG TO THE DEMONS THEY CONTRACTED WITH,"

"But you didn't fulfil their wishes, you only deceived them into thinking that GOD was sham, and you were the real deal, they thought they were doing something meaningful, but it was only an illusion, they were cheated." Rowan said with a disdain look.

"AND IT WORKED! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HUMANS ARE THIS STUPID! HAHA! THOSE IDIOTS THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE GODS OF THEIR WORLD BUT IT WAS ONLY A DREAM, BUT ISN'T THAT MUCH BETTER THAN A VAGUE "HEAVEN" PROMISED BY GOD, THEY CAN DREAM FOR ALL ETERNITY IN THEIR OWN UTOPIA."

"THERE WAS STILL A BIG PROBLEM, NONE OF THE VESSELS WERE SUITABLE FOR ME, AS MY SPIRIT WAS TOO STRONG TO HOUSE FOR A HUMAN, THE ONES CONTRACTED BY DEMONS WERE ALL DRIVEN BY GREED, THAT IS THE REASON WHY THEY WERE EASIER TO MANIPULATE, BUT I NEEDED SOMEONE WITH NO SUCH EMOTIONS, NO MALICE, NO GREED AND NO PURPOSE, AND YOU WERE ONE OF THE PERFECT CANDIDATES FOR THIS, YOU ARE RIGHT I COULD'VE CHOSEN A DIFFERENT VESSELS FOR THIS BUT I HAD LIMITED TIME ON EARTH AS I WASN'T CALLED BY ANYONE, I WAS FORCED TO HIDE IN YOUR HEART, THE PUREST OF HEART HOUSED THE DARKEST OF SOUL, THEN I SENT A WISP OF MY SOUL TO CONFIRM THE CONTRACT WITH YOU."

"I WISH FOR A FREE WORLD, "ROWAN", GOD HAS DECEIVED EVERYONE, I WAS ALSO BANISHED FROM HEAVEN, WHEN I TRIED TO STAND FOR MY COMRADES, AND TGE PEOPLE I PROTECTED ENDED UP STABBING ME IN THE BACK, AT THAT TIME I SWORE THAT I WILL GRAZE THE HEAVENS IN THE GROUND, I WILL MAKE THEM PAY FOR THEIR BETRAYAL."

"SO, WOULD YOU JOIN ME IN THIS ENDEAVOR OF MINE."

Lucifer said with a determined face reaching his hand out to Rowan.
