Where Is Your God?

Lucifer and the Lamb

Light and Dark

“Oh god, how I miss this”. The devil in his human form looks up at earth’s sky with sinister glee. “To embody a man truly deserving my power and ambition is rare. However, I digress, I’m here with your lamb. The one you’ve chosen to let rule in your stead. I wonder, what makes her so special”? The devil stands in the middle of a green pasture full of life and God's creatures. The light is fading and a burning red glow emits from the horizon. Lucifer looks over to the dimming light and hellish glow.

“Your time is almost up, my dear. Let’s have a chat, shall we”. He raises his hand down to the earth and closes his yellow eyes to conjure two chairs for both players to sit upon. The lamb, Mary, is chained to her chair and keeps her head pointed at a ninety-degree angle down the dirt. The wind blows in the distance as the moon is rising from the opposite side of the sun. A balance of light and dark appears above them with no clear victor.

“Look at me” Lucifer demands. “Unlike you, I can be here for an eternity. Hell awaits me, so this land isn’t a prison”. He becomes enraged and grips the back of the chair with vigor. His veins blacken and his hair turns to ash and hovers over his decayed skull. He roars “Speak! Do not insult me with your silence.” Blood drips from Mary’s nose and down to the brown wooden forked chair. She looks up to the heavens and her cross-necklace sways on her chest.

“You are no virgin, you are full of sin and greed. Why has he chosen you”? The devil has lost his patience but retains his merciless grin. He rises from his creaky creation and turns away from the human girl. Mary breaks the silence “You won’t win, God knows that you’re here. You’ve gathered an army of demons, ghouls, and sinners but you need a mortal to sign the deal”. He cocks his head and pivots back to her and attains her gaze.

“Where Is your god now, hmm?” Lucifer paces towards her and the ground beneath him turns to volcanic rock. “He’s not with you physically. All it would take would be a simple strike to your heart and he loses his one disciple that’s left”. He stands within inches her beating heart and grabs the side of her wounded face. “Everyone is mine to destroy”, he grabs her throat with both hands. He reveals his face and the flesh of his form liquefies off his skull. A toxic gas fumes its way out of his rotting neck tissue.

“Except for me, you can’t have my heart”, she clenches her jaw. She headbutts him and cracks the remaining bone of his face. The chair and chains holding her captive vanish beneath her. She falls to the ground and gets to her knees. She grasps the cross dangling around her neck and breaks the rope keeping it secured to her body. Lucifer dwindles in strength from the wrath of the lamb and the light in the sky pushes back against the dark. The devil summons his fire from the earth's crust and marches back at Mary.

She extends her cross out banishing his fire. “He chose me because I have flaws; because I embody everything wrong with this world. Yet, I still chose to have faith”. She stands up shoves the cross onto the fallen angel's chest in one motion forcing him back to his volcanic footsteps. “I am human” she asserts. “Lucifer, where is your god now?”
