Details of hell
Before I start the story I need to tell you how hell works,
so there is a hell hierarchy. The lower rank are Imps and hellhounds.
Then there are The hellborns, the demons that were Born in hell and can move to the other rings of hell but sinners and overlords can't. Speaking of sinners, Sinners are people that died on earth and landed in hell. Now Overlords are the same as Sinners but they got Stronger by making deals with other sinners. That doesnt mean that only sinners and overlords can make deals the higher ranks can do it to.
As we go up the ranking we go up to the Ars Goetia royal family of high-ranking demons with avian features, they study the earth and the demons that make up Lucifer the king of hell.
Now As we land higher we get to The Seven Deadly Sins. They are the sins that people on earth use the most like pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth.
They help rule that other rings in hell.
As we go to the second spot the second spot we go to the Morningstar family the Highest rank demons in all of hell, Including LIlith ,charlie morningstar. Finally we have the King of hell himself Lucifer the Falen angel and ruler of all of hell.
So i hope you guys like this small detail
(i will give Asmodeus and Sera more character development and octavia and him are 18 what the story starts)
(I WANT YOU GUYS TO FIGURE OUT HIS BACK STORY0
(Sit back, relax and READ!!!!!)
A Surprised
Jason woke up in his room, of light blue and pink walls, he quickly got dressed and ran to the kitchen "Good morning Asmodeus" he said as he grabbed the toast and put it in his mouth as he got dressed. "Bye Asmodeus". "Bye," Jason Asmodeus said as he went back to his room. Jason quietly walks into Stolas the Prine of the Ars Goetia castle to meet Octavia Stolas's daughter.
He used the rope that he put there and climbed it up and knocked on her window "Hey моя любовь it's me Jason". It felt like less than a second she opened the door and hugged him. "Hey" he grunted as he pulled away. "That was-"before he could finish saying "that was nice" she said, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Someone is feeling happy today, I remember when we met you were all over me" ,he said laughing. "HEY!!, she yelled at him, then mummers, "Я таким не был"
(FLASH BACK)
they met when Stolas and Asmodeus had business they were 12 they fell
Little Jason waved to her in his little suit. "Hey I'm prince Jason nice to meet you" ,he said smiling. "H…hey i'm ovtavia" she sid clinging to her dad's leg. "Via you should talk to him he is the prince of hell and if he is anything like his dad he could kill us" said stolas smiling but really scared "Please don't conpare me with him". Octavia slowy walks over to jaso and says "hey, I'm Octavia but you can call me via for short. Jason grabs her hand and shakes it "i think we will be great friends"
(PRESENT)
"So it's nice to see you again," said Octavia, messing with Jason's hair.
"Yeah it's nice to see you again" Jason said, pinning her to the bed chuckling. Then they kiss her. Pull away because Stolas her dad came in. "Hello Jay, nice to see you again. What do we owe for pleasure ?" said Stolas shaking Jasons hand. "I'm here to meet you daughter and I think we should tell your dad what's happening! " said Jason holding Octavias hand. "We are dating!!" They said together. Stolas looked confused and happy so fast. "I KNEW IT!!!" Stolas said, giving them both a hug. "Well i need to go to work" said Jason as he gave her one last hug "bye".
Jason races to IMP city to the IMP (immediate murder professional)
He opens the door "hey Bliz sorry i was late."
he said as
He walks to the desk. "It's….wait huh?" said bliz. Jason sighs as he knows bliz likes getting drunk. "Hey Jason" the little imps said as they came into the room "Hi moxie and millie Come on Bliz every day you come in drunk just lay off the beer and let's get to work. Who are we killing today?" He said, trying to make them listen. "We are killing a 34 year old man for having an affair with another man's wife." Said Millie, trying to talk but very drunk.
"Ok then…Um moxxie millie you guys want to help?"
"Huh…what did you say?" Moxxie said, groaning. "Honey, he wants us to help him kill some guy on earth," Millie said in her sweet contry accent. "You know what I can do by myself," Jason said, then he mumbebled "Вы, идиоты, ни на что не способны", He said as he opening a portal to earth. "Dont get yourself killed" said the hellhound at the desk on her phone "shut up loona" Jason said as he flips her off as he leaves to the human worl with a book Octavia's dad gave him. As he goes around looking for this man he reallized that the human world is beautiful and he dozens of looking into the sky. He finds the man "Hey dude sorry but i guess this is what happens when you cheats so BYE!" Jason used a power to eplode the man's head off. "Ok now i can go home bye" he teleports home.
(Before i start this this party is were the sins of hell have a party to celebrate their strength and what happened over the years Jason is finally allowed to go)
It was a very happy day for him. He could finally go to the SEVEN SIN PARTY. Jason wakes of for the party an gets dressed in the suit he made for this party
As he gets dressed he calls octavia "Hey octavia you getting ready for the party?" Jason said as he put his bowtie on "hello octavia?" he hears a knock on the door and sees Octavia in a dress Wow he said as he looked at her as she blushed "Your beautiful!" He hugs her and they get close for a kiss but Asmodeus comes in and ruins the moment "Asmodeus knocks next time!!!" Jason yelled, blushing. " Come on dear i was seeing if you were ready and it seems like you have a date to the patry lets go kids!" he said as he opened a portal to the party with his blue flame power. As Jason walks in with Octavia they see all the Seven Sins But then he stops, his eyes widened " Is….t.t.tha.t Lucif..er!?!" he said, shaking uncontrollably from all the trauma as a kid he. He takes his anxiety pills out and takes 2. Lucifer looks at him and his eyes widen as Lucifer near him Jason takes his tentacles out to protect Octavia "УХОДИ СЕЙЧАС!!" he yells at lucifer "son i never knew you fell from heaven what happened" Lucifer said as he gets closer "i fell 8 years ago, It doesnt matter you dont even care you left mama for your on selfisih needs cheating on mama you dont know what it is like" he gets cloes to octavia and smiles. Lucifer walks over to him "I'm sorry I really am I know what I did was bed but me and your mom fell apart after you were born" "THAT DOESNT MEAN YOU SHOULD RUN AWAY!!!" Jason yelled all the sins and looked at him asmodues looked at him. Jason looks away as he starts to cry as he shakes. "Son, I tried my best to be there but it was hard. I love you, son I really do "Lucifer said as he pulled him in for a hug. Jason trys to talk but starts to cry. Jason pulls away "Dad this is my girlfriend Octavia" Octavia waves to him. "Oh so you got with royalty just like your old man." Lucifer said smiling.
Jason and Octavia went with Lucifer to Charlie's hotel as he opens the door Charlie hugs him tight "HIIIIII!!!!!!!" she squeezed him tight. "Nice to see you too". Jason this is vaggie my GF she is a fallen angel "hey
"nice to meet you" vaggie said with her hand on her wasit "ths is angel dust our guest "Hey hot stuff" angel says as he winks at me. A little girl runs around "this girl if nifty she is our maid and this snake fella is sir pentious" charlie said. "This is husk our bartender and Al-" she was cut off. A tall overlord in red with a chain "Hello sir i'm alastor the radio demon" alastor said. "Nice to meet you". Jason shaked his hand. "Oh my god you have a girlfriend!!!" She hugs Octavia. "You have a pretty one" Octavia blushes. "Oh thanks". "It's good to see that you has good taste in people," Charlie said as he hugged her."Well where have you been all these years!! " Charlie said as she brought Jason closer. "Well I have been living with asmoduse he's very nice"Jason said. "Wait, the sin of Lust that's AMAZING!!!!" Charlie said as she hugged him tighter. "We kanda need help because we are going to fight against heaven" charlie charlie clutching her coat. " What the f##k are you joking heaven no no no i can't im not fighting anagist heaven here is the reason GOD he will banish us so fast" Jason said as he walks back. "I can't I'm sorry" Jason walks away he goes home.
As he walks home Octavia says " Jay you need to help her she is-". "I know what she is fighting against but it's so hard I try to go back to heaven but they hurt everyone I love so I just can't lose you" Jason said and he cupped her cheek. "I love you Octavia, I hope you know that."
A few months goes by and Charlie with her friends are fighting against heaven and the head leader of the exorcist army. It was a very tough fight for them. Alastor tried to fight Adam but failed. There was blood everywhere "Look at this mess so many demons princess you should have said in your place" Adam said as he charged but a massive blue flame blocked him. "What the hell?" Adam said as he flys back. Everyone looks in the air and sees a blue flame and hears these words The blue blame opens up to show Jason with a massive blast to send Adam flying to the floor "You leave them ALONE!!!!!!" Jason swings a slam at Adam nearly killing him. "You saved me" she said as Jason flys her down. "What this is imposible i'm Adam I'm the Man all human kind came from these-" Jason shoots him with a fire spear and kills him But now the hotel is destoryed And ,sir pentious has died he sacrifice himself to hurt Adam. Jason looks for Octavia in the ruble " OCAVIA!!" he yelled. He used his powers to blast the debri and brushed the dirt off her. " Are you ok dear?" he said as he smiled. They turn around and see if everyone is ok. "You guys ok??" Charlie said. " I'm fine," everyone said. " I think we need to rebuild this hotel dont you think?" Jason said as he looked around at them "Yeah but it will take a long time" Charlie said. Jason starts to smile and uses some magic to show hotel ideas everyones jaw dropped. "Which one do you want, Charlie?" Jason said as he went through the options. She picked one and in less than a minute it spawned in. "They're happy now," Jason said as he holds octavias hand.
The hotel spawned in
"Let the hotel live on charlie for me" ,Jason said as he looked at charlie "What why what do you mean?" Charlie said worriedly, "Well I have work to do in the other rings of hell" Jason said. "I love you guys but it's time for me and Octavia to head home" Jason takes octavia and teleports to the lust ring.
Special an anniversary dance
Jason and Stolas had this plan that they will stall Octavia so Jason can go to a dance with her "Good morning Octavia!!" Stolas said as he burst into her room. "Today we will be going to see the stars today!! Get dressed, let go." Octavia strats to chuckle "Why are you in such a rush we have a few hours?" "As she gets dressed she calls Jason " Hey babe is work" She said. On the other line he is getting dressed and he stops knowing that he called off for today. "Umm it's doing great I'm in London right now killing a man it will be awhile love yo bye…" He hangs up and quickly gets dressed. As the day goes by Stolas buys Octavia stuffies and a dress. As they came closer to Ozzies most famous dating club there was Jason in a suit. "Hey sorry i couldnt be there all day. I wanted this day to be special so you know how much I love you" he said as he got closer to her. He takes her hand and takes her to the dance floor, as the world around them falls in darkness he holds her and spins her around. Ozzie Stolas and Lucifer from a distance watch them. "You raised a sweet girl," Lucifer said to Stolas. "I never seen Jason like this with a girl, This is true love" Ozzie said. "They are like us," Fizzarolli said to Ozzie. As Jason and Octavia dance they get closer As they slow dance. "Hey you ok Via" Jason said to Ocatvia in a rare soft tone."Yeah I never thought that the prince of hell would love me of all people" She said blushing. "You want to know why I love you so much?" He asked her. He used his power to make the room into a stary night sky and shows moments in his and their past
(this a song ok dont judge it it's my first one)
(He shows his past as a baby)
🎵I remember the light, the color of grace
A golden cage in a celestial place
I was happy, they said, a smile I perfected
But my whole existence felt disconnected
I followed a flicker, a small, foolish chase
Then gravity won, right out of that space.🎵
🎵Eight years ago, I hit the fiery ground
Left broken and lost, without making a sound
I limped through the Lust Ring, shattered and raw
Just a fallen angel defying the law.
I saw the windows where laughter was bright
A father, a daughter, tucked safe in the night
And I ran from the sight of the family I lacked
The promise of love that he never took back.🎵
🎵This is the chaos, the tremors inside
The shake in my hands that I try hard to hide.
I swallowed the fear and the anxious regret
But you're the one thing I never have to forget.🎵
(In the stary sky he looks at her and dances with her and sings)
🎵Darling, you're the anchor that steadies the sway
When the old nightmares try to steal my day
You found the trauma that hid deep beneath
The prince who was gasping for one single breath.
I thought love was a bargain, a deal and a price
But your touch is redemption, no sacrifice🎵
🎵You pulled me from the shadows I was forced to embrace
And gave me a heaven in this hellish place.🎵
(Verse 2 )
(the visions shows Jason working with ozzie he looked cooled and emtoinaless)
🎵I spent years on the clock, selling false perfection
Working for Ozzie, seeking validation
I pushed everyone back, kept emotion on hold
Afraid that my story was too dark to be told.
I tried to be callous, put up the cold wall
Waiting for judgment, preparing to fall
But you saw the trouble, the trouble I brought
And you never once judged the dark battles I fought.🎵
(Jason looks and the memories with octavia)
🎵You're smarter than I am, and beautifully stern
A lesson in loyalty I'm finally able to learn
You don't care for my title, or who my dad is
You care for the heart that's still beating in this
You're genuine fire, and forever true.🎵
🎵This is the softness, the comfort you bring
You're the only voice that makes the darkness sing
I threw away the scripts, the fear, and the chains
Because, Darling, with you, nothing ever remains.🎵
Darling, you're the anchor that steadies the sway
When the old nightmares try to steal my day
You found the trauma that hid deep beneath
The prince who was gasping for one single breath.
I thought love was a bargain, a deal and a price
But your touch is redemption, no sacrifice
You pulled me from the shadows I was forced to embrace
And gave me a heaven in this hellish place.
🎵My father ran off, he flew away fast
Believing his new life meant forgetting the past🎵
🎵He gave me a name, Morningstar bright and bold
But you gave me a future, stronger than gold.
I may be a hybrid, half-seraph, half-fiend
But standing before you, my power is cleaned.
You're the star in the night sky I conjured for you
The most beautiful, true thing I've ever held onto.🎵
Darling, you're the anchor that steadies the sway
When the old nightmares try to steal my day
You found the trauma that hid deep beneath
The prince who was gasping for one single breath.
I thought love was a bargain, a deal and a price
But your touch is redemption, no sacrifice
You pulled me from the shadows I was forced to embrace
And gave me a heaven in this hellish place.
(Jason holds her face gently,)
I fell eight feet down, but when I look into your eyes...
It's one heaven up.
I love you, Via.
Old friend
After the lovely anniverarythey had a very nice night now we will take a shift in the story for a bit to talk about an overlord you might know
Vox the TV overlord he rules the electronics.
Unlike the true story Jason owns him because this is my fan story. So one day he gave his soul away to get more power that was 7 years ago. See Jason doesn't care what overlords do to each other he only thinks about his famly and friends but Vox begged him for power so he gave in but he doesn't care about him Know lets Go back to the story!!!
Jason and Octavia are laying in bed after yesterday. Jason wakes up and looks at his phone and sees Vox the Tv overlord help make all the phones and Tv's. He says he wants to be a god. That made Jason mad because he does not want people missing with heaven at all and Vox came over to the hazbin hotel. Jason gets up and dressed. "Babe, where are you going?' Octavia mubbled in her sleep, Jason knows she is always worried about him. "I need to see someone ok baby" Jason kissed her head and left.
He teleports to Vox tek building. The workers rushed out of the way and he teleported to vox. He looks at Vox and sings 🎵 Vox, you're looking thin, did you forget to plug your battery in?
Got that nervous static humming, showing me the future that is coming?🎵
(i raise my hand to show the amazing rating he and his friends have)
🎵You're talking billions, talking streams, the ultimate fulfillment of your screens.🎵
But then you whispered, soft and low, the one place you should never go.
(I smack him across the room with my rased hand)
🎵A God? You want the throne above?
The place where pain eclipses love.
You think you'll seize the Pearly Gates?
You don't understand the consequence, the ancient weight.
You bought your power with your soul, paid the high price to be whole,
Or what you think is competence! A digitized magnificence!
But every time the signal flows, every victory the market knows,
It's tethered to the contract signed, the chain that grips your feeble mind.🎵
🎵Okay, my friend, you want more power,
A bigger empire, hour after hour.
Well I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen.
You are the puppet, and I do the tapping.
So thanks, but no.
I think I'm good to go.
Don't you forget the truth you missed,
You're a glorified commodity on my contract list.🎵
(Jason raises his hand slightly. A faint, glowing blue chain—the physical manifestation of Vox's soul contract—snaps tight around Vox's thin, screen-neck. Vox chokes silently, static crackling.)
🎵Remember midnight, that dark night, when my mark was fre sh and shining bright?
You came crawling, face on fire, for the sweet taste of digital desire.
You traded Heaven's true, raw light, for the cathode glow of the dead of night.
I gave you fame, I gave you sight, I gave you the means to win every fight.
And now you think you can disrespect the trauma that I can't forget?
The golden kingdom, pure and vast? The birthplace of my broken past?
You wanna be a fucking deity?
You haven't even mastered simple fealty!
You're my pet soul, a walking, talking lease,
You'll never know true power, only the illusion of peace.🎵
🎵I fell from that place, boy, I didn't claw my way in.
I saw the light turn black, felt the weight of my sin,
Just by existing.
You talk of conquering the sky, but you haven't seen them truly try.
If I wanted Heaven broken down, I wouldn't need a single clown.
I could unmake you, line by line, before the next headline could even shine.
You are the flicker, I am the flame, a tiny echo whispering my name.
You sold the moment, held so fast,
And now the consequence forever lasts.🎵
🎵Okay, my friend, you want more power,
A bigger empire, hour after hour.
Well I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen.
You are the puppet, and I do the tapping.
So thanks, but no.
I think I'm good to go.
Don't you forget the truth you missed,
You're a glorified commodity on my contract list,
And I can silence you with a twist.🎵
(The blue chain tightens one last time, forcing a gurgle from Vox. Jason smiles a slow, terrifying smile.)
🎵
Just don't cross the Seraphim creator.
Now, get back out there.
You've got a price to pay down here.🎵
(Jason releases the chain, which snaps back invisibly to its master. He turns and strides out of the office, the door slamming. Vox is left frozen, clutching his neck, his screen flickering with pure, unadulterated fear.)
.
He stood on the edge of VoxTek's highest spire, blue flames licking lazily around his boots as the neon city pulsed beneath him. Screens all over Pentagram City flickered for half a second—just static—before snapping back online.
Vox's influence still worked.
Jason clenched his jaw.
"Idiot…" he muttered in Russian under his breath. "You never learn."
For a moment, something ugly twisted in his chest. Not guilt—never guilt—but memory. Contracts. Chains. The way power always came with teeth.
He shook it off and vanished in a burst of blue fire.
Octavia woke to warmth
Jason was already back, sitting on the edge of the bed, shirt half-buttoned, wings folded tight like he didn't trust them not to move on their own.
"Jay?" she murmured, rubbing her eyes. "You okay?"
He flinched. Just a little.
"Yeah," he said too fast. Then softer, more honest, "I'm home."
She scooted closer and rested her forehead against his back. No questions. No pushing. That was her gift—knowing when silence was safer.
"Did he do something stupid?" she asked quietly.
Jason huffed a humorless laugh. "Vox wants totake control of everything."
Octavia stiffened. "That's… bad."
"That's suicidal," Jason corrected. "And annoying."
He turned, pulling her gently into his lap, arms wrapping around her like he washold on the last piece of food on earth.
"I didn't hurt him," he added, after a pause.
She tilted her head, studying his face. "But you could have."
"Yes."
That answer alone said everything.
Back at the hotel
Hell strats shaking.
Charlie froze mid-sentence, ears twitching. "Okay—did anyone else feel that?"
Alastor's grin widened just a touch too much. "Oh yes, my dear. That was a Hell tremor a very common thing its like a earthquack but in hell."
Lucifer, leaning against the bar, sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Jason talked to Vox, didn't he?"
"That bad?" Vaggie asked.
Lucifer laughed once. Sharp. Bitter. "If Vox is still alive, Jason was being merciful."
Charlie frowned. "He doesn't like using his authority."
"No," Lucifer said quietly. "He hates that he has it."
That shut the room up.
Jason lay awake long after Octavia fell asleep again.
He stared at the ceiling, eyes glowing faintly gold-blue in the dark.
Heaven. God.
All lines he refused to cross. It makes him sick to his stomach
He brushed his thumb over the small scar at his wrist "Never again," he whispered, to himself.
Outside, the Lust Ring shimmered with neon excess and false joy.
Inside that room, the Prince of Hell curled protectively around the one thing he refused to lose.
Far away, in Vox's tower, a single monitor flickered to life on its own.
Static cleared.
For half a second, reflected in the black glass, Vox face with a smile bright
Alastor vs Vox
The deal was simple.
Vox had bound Alastor long ago
Alastor would become Vox's prisoner if he ever harmed Charlie Morningstar.
No loopholes.
No tricks.
And Vox agreed to one thing in return.
He would never lay a hand on her.
Vox's hand closed around her wrist as the gala collapsed, screens cracking, power spiraling out of control. He dragged her forward, fury distorting his signal.
"You ruined everything," Vox hissed. "You think redemption saves you?"
Jason felt it happen before he saw it.
Alastor froze.
For the first time in decades
The Radio Demon smiled bighter
The chain ignited around him, hellscript burning into his skin, power yanking violently against his soul.
Vox laughed.
"Oh Alastor," he sneered. "Check the fine print."
Alastor staggered—then straightened.
Slowly.
Deliberately.
"…You touched her," Alastor said softly.
Vox's screen flickered. "That's not possible"
"You made one fatal mistake, my dear broadcaster," Alastor said, eyes glowing a deep, consuming red.
"You assumed the contract cared about intent."
He vanished.
The tower shook.
Alastor tore through Vox like a nightmare given teeth radio waves slicing through screens, soundwaves crushing steel. Vox fired everything he had, towers of light, weapons, static storms.
It didn't matter.
"You wanted ratings?" Alastor laughed, voice echoing from every broken speaker.
"Let's give them a finale. fight"
Vox lunged desperate.
Alastor caught him by the face.
He crushed Vox into the broadcast core.
Static howled.
Then
Vox's Had lost
Alastor stood alone in the ruins, breathing slowly
He had won.
The sky split open.
Not Hell.
Not Heaven.
Something older.
Jason froze.
Octavia clutched his arm.
Lucifer turned pale.
A woman stepped through the light.
White wings folded gently behind her.
Eyes like stars long extinguished.
A voice that did not need to be loud.
Sera
Jason's breath caught.
"…Mom?"
A New Threat
Hell had never felt so quiet before.
After Vox's fall, Pentagram City Was celebrating, but The balcony of the Lust Ring palace was silent.
Below, Hell glittered in neon excess but something was wrong.
Across the rings, whispers spread.
Wrath and Greed were building an army.
Inside the throne chamber of Lucifer Morningstar, tension coiled like a serpent.
Satan and Mammon had already aligned.
They promised power.
They promised domination.
They promised war.
And the imps were listening.
Sinners were listening.
Even some Overlords were listening.
Hell was falling apart.
Jason stood staring over the skyline, hands gripping the railing so hard the metal bent.
Behind him stood Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Lucifer and Octavia.
Then the sky split open.
Not red.
Not infernal.
White.
Radiant.
And she stepped through.
Sera
Feathers drifted like falling stars.
Jason didn't turn at first.
"…Mom."
Her voice was calm. Ancient. Controlled.
"Your very stressed"
Jason laughed under his breath.
"Yeah. I noticed."
Sera stepped closer.
"You must stop this before Wrath ignites a war that Heaven will answer."
Jason finally turned.
His eyes were tired.
Not angry.
Just tired.
"You think they'll listen to me?"
The air grew heavier.
"Half of Hell won't listen to me," he said quietly.
"I'm not Pride. I'm not Wrath. I'm not even fully Hell."
His voice began to shake.
"I'm just the fallen mistake you all pretend is powerful."
Octavia stepped forward but Lucifer gently held her back.
Jason's breathing became uneven.
"I'm tired," he admitted.
The words were barely above a whisper.
"I'm so tired."
The ground beneath him began to crack.
Blue fire leaked from his eyes.
"There is nothing I can do about any of it!"
His voice shifted.
It deepened.
Layered.
Distorted.
Like something older was speaking through him.
His horns began to grow.
Slow at first.
Then faster.
Curving, blackening, twisting upward.
The sky flickered between white and infernal blue.
Lucifer stiffened.
Asmodeus took a step back.
Beelzebub's smile vanished.
Jason's wings spread violently, feathers burning at the edges.
"WHY SHOULD HELP THEM THEY ALL DESIVED TO DIE THATS WHY THERE IN HELL IN THE FIRST PLACE THEY WERE FAILURE IN LIFE AND THEY STILL ARE!" the distorted voice roared through him.
Windows shattered across the Lust Ring.
The rings of Hell trembled.
Satan felt it in Wrath.
Even far away, Alastor tilted his head and grinned wider.
Sera did not move.
She walked forward calmly through the pressure.
"Jason."
Her voice cut through the distortion.
Not loud.
But clear.
The blue flames faltered.
"Jason Morningstar."
The horns stopped growing.
"Listen to me."
The distortion cracked.
For a second, the monstrous voice tried to answer.
But then
He heard her.
Not the angel.
Not the judge.
His mother.
The one who held him when he was small.
The one who sang in Heaven's light.
"Breathe, my son."
The horns trembled.
Then slowlY
They shrank.
Retreated.
The blue fire dimmed.
His wings folded weakly at his sides.
Jason collapsed to his knees.
The sky stabilized.
Silence fell over Hell.
Octavia rushed to him.
He was shaking.
Not from rage.
From exhaustion.
Sera knelt in front of him.
"You are not powerless," she said softly.
Jason looked up at her eyes no longer glowing.
"I don't want to be powerful," he whispered.
Lucifer looked away at that.
Sera brushed a thumb over his forehead.
"You don't have to rule them."
Jason swallowed.
"Then what do I do?"
Sera stood.
"You decide who you are before they decide for you."
She stepped backward into the light.
"But choose quickly."
The sky sealed shut.
Jason sat there on the balcony floor.
Octavia held him.
Lucifer said nothing.
Far across Hell…
Satan smiled.
Because he felt it.
The Prince of Hell was breaking.
And broken leaders are easier to overthrow.
