With the devil on your back
I'm not going to put this on DA because I hate how Lucifer turned out but, meh. He started out alright, but got progressively shittier from the eyes up.
Moving swiftly on, I'll try to start on chapter 12 but my eyes feel pretty heavy, heads up.
Silently begging her forgiveness, Gabriel coasted on the clouds leaving Audrey standing, forlorn, in the arch of the cathedral doorway. He should have made it clear, but he had no intention of breaking his promise - not permanently, at least. The very notion was ludicrous; he couldn’t imagine spending the rest of eternity wondering what else she might have taught him.
He didn’t go far; he didn’t need to. His destination was not the sort of place you could plot on a map. It was closer to what the humans understood as a dimension: another version of the same place.
The clouds darkened into billowing smoke and he flew over streets and buildings no more. The ground was a sprawling blanket of ash punctuated by frozen lakes and strings of black mountains. He made straight for the colossal fortress built into the mouth of the volcano on the scarlet horizon, dodging and deflecting the tiny, dark specks that hovered in the dusty air around him.
The window of the topmost tower wasn’t quite as darkened as it had been before; he could see the orange glow cast by the coal-lined floor inside. A silhouette appeared; Lucifer was waiting.
I know it's not much but I can't keep my eyes open any longer. Night night!
