Prologue Part 1 - Bargain
Logan POV
I was in my estate, sitting in my Dad's study. I held a book titled "Fallen Light" and read the pages, which contained instructions for a ritual to summon the Morningstar. I had ever heard of such a book, it might eve be fake. But I've got to try. I have to do it for her. I don't want my light to fade away. At least let her take my place, that's all I ask. I grab an ancient Dagger that my Dad had hidden in the basement along with the book. The last instruction of the book was to draw the blood of an innocent. Luckily, I haven't done a single bad thing against the laws of this world. Not yet at least. I cut my left hand and speak the words that would summon the Fallen Angel and he would grant me a wish. Hopefully.
Logan: "Morningstar. With this ritual and the blood of innocence that I offer. I summon thee to grant me one wish to fulfill my desire. I understand the terms thou will give and I will accept them. Lucifer, Angel, Immaculate being. I summon you to this mortal plane where Humanity festers!".
My blood drips onto the floor as I spoke these words and a pentagram appeared on the floor.
Soon it seems like the room is beginning to warp into something twisted and alive. Eyes and mouths begin appearing everywhere. However, most of it disappears and the one that can grant me my wish appears.
Lucifer: What the fuck just happened?! Where am I?!
The Fallen angel looks around before stopping and noticing me.
Lucifer: Oh, a human. Been a very long time since I've seen one of your kind. Well, the ones that haven't died and got sent to Hell.
Logan: Lucifer. Morningstar.
Lucifer: That's right, Lucifer Morningstar at your service. So what did you call me for. (Sarcastic) Oh wait, don't tell me. Money? Power? Rule the world? You want several people to be your bitch?
Logan: None of those.
Lucifer: Alright I give up. You summoned me for a reason so tell me. Why did you pull me out of Hell?
Logan: To save someone.
Lucifer: ...I'm sorry, what?
Logan: Lucifer. I beg of you. Save the love of my life.
Lucifer: You summoned me to save your girlfriend? I'm sorry for being skeptical, but I find it hard to believe that I'm not hearing any part of you having hidden motives.
Logan: She's special. She's an amazing Violinist and saw nothing but light in this world when she came into my life. But it turns out she's ill. The only way for her to possibly be free of it is risky surgery, but there's no guarantee that she'll survive.
Lucifer: Yeah, that sounds about right.
Logan: Which I why I summoned and ask of your to grant me my desire. Please, free her from her disease and allow her to live a full life.
Lucifer: And that's it? You just want me to make sure your girlfriend is able to share her spirit with the world?
Logan: Yes.
Lucifer: Even though this world doesn't really deserve someone like her? She's too good for this world.
Logan: When you love someone, you would do anything for them. Even giving your own life.
Lucifer stays quiet for a bit and begins laughing. But it doesn't seem to mock me.
Lucifer: HAHAHAHA! Oh, this is quiet a surprise. A human that wants to make a deal, not out of greed or convenience, but because he wants the one he loves to live. I have to say, I'm very impressed by this turn of events. So, I guess some good things came out of granting your kind free will.
Logan: So will you--
Lucifer: Yes.
Something manifests and it turns out to be a contract that ends up in Lucifer's hand, along with with a fancy pen.
Lucifer: So, I recognize that book you're holding, and would I be correct to assume you've read what was expected in that thing?
Logan: Yes.
Lucifer: Well, I'm going to rephrase how things will work. Everything needs to have a balance. So if you sign this contract, know that your existence on earth will have to be altered. Most will believe you are the one that died of the illness. And know that signing this means your soul will become part of Hell, meaning that Heaven is out of your reach. You can still come to Earth from time to time to visit for a bit. Once things have been paid, you may return to this point in time to regain your turn living out the rest of a mortal life.
I think very hard and remember the wonderful smile that filled me with so much warmth.
Logan: I accept the terms of the deal.
Lucifer: Well, your determination and love for another deserves a reward.
The writing on the contract changes and has added paragraphs.
Lucifer: Sign this and you will become part of my family. I will adopt you as my son and grant you part of my power. It will be very hard for people people to fuck with you. I think you'll love your new sister. She is such an amazing dreamer. I think Kaori would like her as well. So, show your resolve.
I nod and grab the pen before signing my name on the contract. A glowing light consumes the paper and me. Lucifer then puts away the pen and paper before extending his hand.
Lucifer: Your Kaori will now be healthier than ever. A full life awaits and I see a bright future for her as a violinist. You know what you signed up for kid.
Logan: I do.
I grab his hand and shake it.
Lucifer: Then allow me to show you your knew home for the next several millennia.
Lucifer opens a gate and we go through it. I find myself in a room that has some tools on the wall with a table and chair underneath them.
Logan: Where are we?
Lucifer: Welcome to Hell. Well, to my castle at least. Hell is a very chaotic place as you'd expect. but I'm sure you'll get used to it sooner or later. (Muttering) And hopefully handle it better than I am.
Logan: What was that?
Lucifer: Nothing.
Lucifer walks before opening a door and reveals a small girl running toward him.
???: Daddy! Daddy! You disappeared. I was so scared.
Lucifer pats the girl on the back and tries to reassure her.
Lucifer: It's okay Charlie. I just had some quick business to take care of.
Charlie begins to smile and looks at me with curiosity.
Charlie: Who are you, Mister?
Lucifer: Charlie, this is Logan. And from now on, he's going to be your big brother.
I walk slowly to Charlie and gently extend my hand out to her. She reaches hers out, but pulls it back. I didn't blame her. However, she extends it again and holds my hand. I was surprised, but welcomed it and held her hand a little tighter, but made sure she felt safe.
Logan: 'Maybe, things won't be so terrible after all'.
Back on Earth, a girl with long, blonde hair is walking through the streets with a smile on her face. She is holding a Violin case and comes to a red traffic light. Soon she pulls out her phone and goes through her photos. However, one attracts her attention and she opens it. It is a selfie of her standing in a park with Logan right next to her.
Kaori: Logan, I love you. I'm sure going to miss you.
The wind blows as the light turns green and she looks both ways before walking across. She then looks at they sky as Cherry Blossom pedals flow through the air.
