A/N: Hey guys, Foul here, due to the pacing of this chapter and plans for this chapter this may not be the same as a full one, but it is more of the start to the main storyline especially next chapter which will bring in some more tensions and Angelic characters; Regardless I hope you enjoy this chapter despite its length!
[3P POV]
Aurelion couldnt help but think, think back on what his life used to be… Did he miss Heaven? did he miss his former family? Who can say; All he could do was just think back.
{Many MANY Decades Ago}
A booming voice was heard throughout all of creation, its two greatest joys were just formed from a part of 'himself' God had just created two beaming bowls of infinite light right into his hands, his best creations, his proudest work "What will you name them, dear?" A light feminine voice could be heard asking; Asherah the Tree of Life "The two are equal beings of immense power Asherah, their already immense power will keep on growing exponentially, at birth their capabilities already surpass that of the strongest Demons in existence by miles, should it continue I see their powers surpassing Death, and even rivaling the Light Beyond the Stars" God elaborates.
A bright light forms out of nowhere "Their powers rivaling a Light Beyond the Stars? I apologise my lord but this is ridiculous" A voice and presence of slightly lesser power could be heard "Yes Luminous, It shall be true as I see near all" God states "For now Luminous, you are still the leader of the Light Beyond the Stars but their powers may shift the balance if they encounter him" God elaborates; As soon as a twinkle formed in one of the child's eyes it summoned an entire planet with Angelic Properties right in front of the nearly and newly formed Earth, God simply evaporated it with a hand gesture "Dear lord" Luminous could be heard saying in suprise to the child's powers "What are you to do with them, dear?" Asherah asks "Raise them, raise them well" God replies determinantly.
"And so blonde one, I shall call you Lucifer, as my little Lightbringer, and you my dark haired little world creator, I shall name you Aurelion as you are truly the work of the stars; You two will not be alone, no I will create more of you so you dont consider it" God issues to his children; God eventually created 15 more of these beings and called them the Archangels as Angels would be the name of the species of the people created in their new home that was named Heaven, Angels would be an obvious reference to their Angelic Properties in nature, quite literally.
God had personally taught Lucifer and Aurelion how to control Heavenly Light and how to use all of their Angelic Abilities, though it wasnt exactly training it did come easy due to the natural affinity for their divinities, every Angel the two fought against they would instantly win against with varying levels of ease, Michael was the only one able to somewhat hold his own against them but overall he would lose just as badly in the end, it was only when the two would fight each other that it would end up in a tie no matter how powerful each one got.
{Current Time}
Overall none of that mattered anymore, at the end of the day Aurelion was practically over it; Aurelion had never cared about power, yet he had an unimaginable amount, he had never cared about ruling creation, he had never cared about the Order of Heaven, he had never cared about the Good and Evil in the Universe; He did all of those things because he wanted to be there for his brother, the ultimate act of selflessness in a way. Aurelion only acted the way he did because he cared about Lucifer enough to see the mission through to the end with things like going back to Satan, organizing Hell, etc, it did not matter because overall Aurelion was just extremely bored, there was nothing more to really do; The few people more powerful than him couldnt care less aside from Satan and possibly the Root of All Evil but whos to say anyway, as the most powerful being in as well as to ever step foot in Hell (equal to Lucifer) there wasnt anything he could do except for plan and wait, thats all he may ever do but then again: Miracles happen every day, you know.
Aurelion realized that something very powerful was about to appear in Hell, something possibly stronger than himself that he could take advantage of, but for that he knew he had to go back to the hotel, seeing his outburst Aurelion mentally rehearsed his apology and warped right in front of the hotel doors, Aurelion knocked and as soon as it opened it revealed a crying Charlotte, Charlie was instantly dumbfounded by seeing him but cried some more before speaking "Aurelion, i- im so sorry about what happened before, I didnt know it was a misunderstanding and I- I -" Charlie cant fully form her sentences but Aurelion just embraces her in his chest "Hey its okay little niec– Charlie, and if anything I should be the one apologising not you, I just wanted to come back and say what I should have before my outburst" Aurelion says "Goodbye now Charlie–" Aurelion was saying but is cut off "Hey I would be more than honored if you stayed here again and sponsored the Hotel" Charlie tries to form a smile "Are you sure you would want me here despite the political outburst it might embezzle?" Aurelion asks "Of course but that all depends on you, Charlie says as she walks inside and Aurelion follows only to see everyone else gathered inside.
"So its a deal?" Aurelion asks sticking his hand out with immense dark magic, despite acknowledging that it actually a soul pact Charlie agrees "Deal" Charlie closes the pact and shakes Aurelion's hands causing the room to shake in a mix of darkened and golden colours hence his Divine and Dark powers, after the pact a contract appears, and Aurelion reads out the conditions "In return for my services and sponsorship for the hotel, you will provide hospitality for me in this establishment as well as the hotel status as Co-Owner just like Vaggie and an official partnership with the hotel and its reputation just like Alastor's" Aurelion issues, Charlie signs the contracts sealing the deal and mixed with their previous soul pacted handshake the soul pact and contract was fully sealed "I look forward to our partnership Charlie, and what it holds in the future" Aurelion smiles before vanishing into golden smoke once more, but this time into his hotel room "Babe, are you sure you can trust him?" Vaggie asks "Yeah, he didnt seem too trustworthy per-say" Angel Dust adds "It dosent matter anyway, we made a deal and there is no turning back on it now; I trust Aurelion and that he will keep his promise, well you know he has to anyway but you get the point" Charlie explains "I really hope so" Vaggie responds somberly before looking at Alastor clearly envious of the lack of trust and a deal on his part, though almost completely for the latter.
"Uhm, so what now?" Angel Dust asks "Why productivity of course" Aurelion says before snapping and altering the interior of the front of the hotel around the fireplace summoning a board and hot chocolate into everyone's hands except for Husk who Aurelion had knowingly summoned a bottle of hard alcohol into "You know, I could get used to having the Grand Duke here" Husk said smiling as he is clearly satisfied with his drink, Alastor take a light sip of his before eviscerating it into his shadows "Im a bit confused, what do you mean by productivity?" Charlie asks confused "We need to spread the Hotel's image" Aurelion replied "Well no shit isnt that what were trying to do, but no one is taking us seriousely" Angel Dust replies unimpressed "Gee I wonder why" Vaggie rashly, as well as indirectly and silently gestures to Angel Dust "Whatever, the point is if thats your big idea, then were just pretty much fucked" Angel Dust replies "Thank you for your feedback, Anthony but I wasnt finished yet" Aurelion clarified "H-how the fuck did yo—" Angel Dust starts shifting into his True Demon Form but Charlie quickly calms him down.
"How did you know that?" Angel Dust manages to muster "My apologies I thought your real name was well known and well used, I should have called you by your known alias" Aurelion replies "Now back on topic, your missing a few good things to get your hotel really rolling" Aurelion states "And what are those?" Vaggie asks in response "First of all, renound advertisement" Aurelion replies and with a simply snap of his fingers advertisements appeared all over the Pride Ring "Second, commercial" Aurelion states as golden and luxerious camera's appear all around the main hotel set and illusions of infernal dennizens gather around and show off the inside of the establishment "Im not going to lie, this is actually very fucking cool" Angel Dust states in awe of Aurelion's affect over the hotel, quite literally.
"And finally…" Aurelion says as his illusions wrap up the commercial; Aurelion snaps once again and all the illusions go away "The determination to keep moving forward, no matter what" Aurelion said as he smiled at Charlie "Just believe in yourself and hope everything will turn out the best it can" Aurelion brightly says as he throws her a golden medallion saying 'Keep moving forward' "What is this, a transitional kindergarten speech?" Angel Dusk asks, however Charlie took those words to heart and actually prayed, in that instant a bright falling source of power dropped from Hells sky and outside the Hotel on the side of the hill, everybody runs outside except for Alastor and Aurelion which the two simply disappeared and reappeared from their shadows to get outside.
Upon staring at what 'it' was Aurelion was in shock and worry 'This, this is a Light Beyond the Stars; Not only that it is the Light of Heaven' Aurelion thought, luckily for him Aurelion and the Light of Heaven had never met before, nor had Lucifer met it, should they awake he should be safe for now; 'Now that I look closer at it the sphere is null and not awakened, right now only someone like me could awaken it so I should be safe for now, because if they manage to awaken and realize who I am then I am beyond screwed' Aurelion thought.
In the middle of Aurelion thinking of what to do about the situation a fire glyph engulfs him and brings him to the palace of Pride "Aurelion…" Lucifer says disappointingly "I think we need to have a chat about what just arrived; And what to do about it…"
