Chapter Text
ones a month there was a overlord meeting while it didn’t mean that everyone where there at the meeting most tended to arrive.
it didn’t stop said meeting being one of the most dreaded events to enter and you couldn’t just not join at least one, each year because if you didn’t then there’s high chance someone will search for you and find out what or why.
the cause, being Lucifer’s dotter. Charlotte tended to call during every single meeting, and Lucifer didn’t trust his allies with said child.
but if you ended up harming her, bad mouthing her or anything like that then you got a quick ticket to death.
“I bet on Alastor this month” Vox said submitting his bet among the overlords there most who sighted.
“Seriously Voxy? same bet every single time. Lucifer Never harms Alastor, hell knows why” Velvet pointed out a rather blatant fact. every single overlord at one point or another have been killed by Lucifer during these meetings.
all except Alastor and Lucifer.
no one ever escapes Lucifers rages unless you’re Charlotte or Lilith, yet Alastor for some untold reason seem able to do the same.
Rosie sighted, the reason why wasn’t untold per say, she knew what it was what the cause. anyone who’s seen the two in more private setting can tell.
the hell king actually respected the radio demon. for some reason saw him less as a subordinate and no rival not anymore at the least but rather a companion or possible even friend... not counting the fact that Lucifer often flirted with Alastor outright trying to get him into his bed and do who knows what.
‘where is he?’ Rosie wondered as Lucifer entered the room, it wasn’t like Alastor to be running late.
counting the number overlords, and noticed someone missing.
“where’s my radio demon?” Lucifer asked bluntly.
the mere notion that someone managed to take him down was too ridiculous to entertain.
but considering this meeting was a sudden one, Alastor is probably just running a bit late, as there where no other reason then that.
“here or not, we need to start this meeting now” Lucifer declared.
“I know this is a emergency meeting but such hurry” was muttered and none really cared who said it, but before Lucifer could start explaining why, the wall suddenly darkened and the floor was drowned in darkness.
everyone turned to the sudden darkness, as the wall or what was left of it rippled, with shadows so dense that nothing could be seen past the shadows.
“care to explain why you’re interrupting my Hunt” Alastor’s voice went thru the room.
Lucifer blinked as the words registered as that’s undeniable Alastor.
but the form who left the darkness...
everyone stared mouths falling open as eyes widened in utter shock and confusion.
Lucifer faintly recognized some traits, the shadowy wings formed out of the abyss itself, his antlers giving the cracked halo or crown like effect.
yet...
he’s not wearing his red suit at all.
they barely recognized Alastor. none of his skin was visible, neither was his grin for that matter, his eyes or the red flickering pupil could be seen but that was about it, as his face was hidden in darkness of a hood.
armor, a breathtaking armor unlike any they’ve ever seen, dominated in darkened silvers, and deepest black fades in and out of sight with light absorbing black seeming to form parts of it. yet markings seem to glow in silvery or black depending on how light hit it there was some parts that lit as if liquid molten red blood, on his arms, legs and neck.
he’s wearing an cheongsam seeming formed out of fabric like metal, ending near his feet, as it layered and segmented seamlessly after his body. and what looks like a skirt or lower half of a coat could be seen, kept open ending almost at his feet similar as the cheongsam, yet it’s slitted in three plates, one on either side and one at the back. it seems like said coat half also appear formed out of metal, with the lower hems edges being denser segmented with carved markings.
the coat seem to rest under his vest, that covered part of his torso, forming after his body, and made up entirely out of segmented plates, appearing almost like a deep necked vest with part of the plating covering his hips. the segmentation seeming almost like cross-braiding at the sides and back, yet at the upper neckline you could see part of the coat coming up forming a hood in the fabric like metal edges plated and carved decorated.
sleeves of his cheongsam seem to be semi loose in similar fabric like metal, with heavier segmented plates forming cuffs, covering part of what clearly where gloves. his gloves forming sharp claws out of segmented plates, making them almost blade like and while almost unseen the armored gloves where fitted heavily carved and stretched up from hands to almost shoulder form under the sleeves.
almost unseen was a neck-guard that looked to be more or less part of the cheongsam, covering his throat and part of the shoulders. his boots high similar armored feel fitted but heavier layering at what probably where his ankles. metal plate segmented and stretched high up on his legs making the pants unsee... thought the heel seem to be missing even as his heel where raised up form the ground making it look like he’s walking on his toes or no hooves being better word for it with the plating carved and decorated elegantly.
thought his cloths wasn’t the only thing that changed, his antlers where fitted thru the holes on the hood with scale like plating making them almost bejeweled with each plate carved as they almost appear like crystal rather then metal adding not only to the crown like effect of the antlers as they splinter into two or three set, curving around his head as if a wild crown.
the armoring made them look almost like a fractured halo formed out of crystalline darkness.
“you’ve never worn full armor for your hunts before” Lucifer said he could feel the heavy encrypted enchantments, the armor where littered with them, easily on par with the armor he used to have himself.
if not even higher.
but there was nothing sacred about this armor at all.
no the blackness blended with the dark silvers felt more like darkness itself, like shadows made tangible as if it where blessed with void not life.
Alastor tapped the table’s surface the tips going cleanly thru the surface with no force at all, showing just how sharp the claws where as the red glinted eerily along the markings on his claws sides. “I where hunting dementories and where s close to getting that hoards lich king” Alastor said not really explaining,
“demento- soul eaters?” Rosie’s brow shot up as the race registered.
“you hunt soul eaters, why would you do something so utterly absurd?!” she asked composure almost breaking.
“why wouldn’t I hunt them?” Alastor countered and while they couldn’t see it they could feel the weight of his fangs.
Lucifer’s eyes narrowed as he meet Alastor’s red gaze, “soul eaters cross the force you embodies don’t they” Lucifer didn’t ask, and he didn’t need to see thru the shadows to feel the Cheshire grin Alastor got.
“all spirits of vengeance hunts soul eaters, regardless if they’re the angelic or demonic kind” Alastor confirmed.
“spirit of. how did I miss that?” Lucifer facepalmed he wanted to hit his head. it was so clearly obvious that it’s painful.
every single overloard there had similar pained or embarrassed expressions as it registered.
“that explains so much” Rosie murmured, and everyone agreed to it.
“you didn’t know?” Alastor asked bluntly as if the notion was absurd that they wouldn’t know.
the question only earned him several blushes in embarrassment.
