“Now for you two.” Said Lucifer as the King of Hell and now of Earth looked at his daughter’s human friends. He ran his eyes up and down the two young men studying them. “I can’t let my daughter and future Queen of this world be friends with simple no ones, no they need to be children of the court.”
“What does that mean…” whispered Jeff shaking in fear, he thought no one could hear him but Lucifer turned and looked at him.
“It means I need to find someone special to be your new parents.” Stated Lilith as the Queen of Hell crossed her arms over her chest and looked at her husband. “How about your top generals, my dear husband? I don’t think any of them had claimed a new child?”
Lucifer gave his wife a warm loving smile as Lucifer raised one of his hands and did some quick hand movements sending forth a magical message.
“Who are his generals?” inquired Mike as he looked at his best friend who was now a princess of Hell, daughter of Lucifer and Lilith, Princess Deonna.
Deonna, shouldn’t have known who the generals of hell, she had only been a princess of hell for a few hours but not only did she know who her father was talking but she knew what they looked like. She smiled showing her small fangs before turning to look at Mike and Jeff with a playful grin which turned on the two young men even as they feared what they where before them.
“They will be here soon.” Said Lucifer as within moments a pillar of dark red and purple flames shot out of the ground a few feet away from the King of Hell. Out of the flames a dark-skinned women dressed in sexualized Greek armor with a long sword on her hip and a shield on her back was standing there. Her eyes glowed with an unnatural red and her hair was long and equally red.
“Ah…Anat, thank you for coming.” Said Lucifer as the women got down on one knee.
“Yes, my Lord, my king.” Said Anat as seconds letter a silvery white cloud began to form.
Out of that mist tall thin men walked out. He wore a long white robe with a long silver mask like the plague doctors of the black death. He held a long chain with a smoking ball at the end, he went down on one knee and lowered his head.
“My Lord, My King.” Said the man
“Welcome Galib, thank you for coming so fast.” stated Lucifer
“I serve you my lord.” Said the male voice.
Then the third of his general arrived in a mass of dead leaves and gusts of wind. Out of that came a beautiful but impossibly thin women, with long fingers and thin yellow hair. In her hands was a rotten apple.
Before anyone could speak, a black mist filled the air as the last general arrived. He was dressed in a hood over his body and a scythe which he placed on the ground as he went down on one knee before his king.
“Limos and Barasty, I thank you for coming. I thank you all.” Stated Lucifer
“It is an honor my king.” Said Barasty as the black hooded figure rose to his feet along with the others. “What do you require of your horsemens.”
“Horsemen…the horsemen of the Apocalypse?” inquired Jeff as the four generals of hell turned and looked at the two humans who stood on either side of the new Princess of Hell.
“I ask you here, because these humans are the former best friends of my eldest daughter Deonna.” Answered Lucifer
"Princess." said all the horsemen as they bowed to the former high school boy now Princess of Hell.
“And they will be members of her court in the future but to be so they need to be claimed by one of high station. I request that one of you either take both of them or split them between two of you.” finished Lucifer
“You want us to take a child as our own?” inquired Anat the General goddess of War looked at the two humans.
“I don’t see why not, we normally wait until the end to claim those who would rule this world when we move on but I don’t see why not.” said Barasty the General god of Death as he turned and looked at Limos general goddess of Famine and Galib the general god of Plague.
“Do we have to keep them male?” inquired Limos in a soft voice as she looked at her fellow Generals. “I like a daughter myself.”
“Their fates are in your hands; you decide their fate.” Explained Lucifer as he stepped aside as the four horsemen stepped forward.
“Dale…help.” started Jeff as he turned toward his friend now going renamed Deonna had stepped aside leaving her friends fate to the horsemen which moved to surrounded the two scared 18 year old high school students.
“So who wants who? And who wants to sit out?” inquired Anat the General goddess of War.
