Love for a Fallen Angel (Knight)

[FaeWhisperer]

By this point, Lyra had passed out, unaware of Lucifer by her side. It was only after a few drawn out minutes until she was healed fully. Her amor still stained with her blood. When Lucifer heard her heartbeat steadily once more- a wave of relief would wash over him that he wouldn’t realize he was holding in. But then he would pick up on a fainter, less pronounced heartbeat.

That wouldn’t make sense…but then again it had been a month after they- surely it wasn’t possible, but Lyra was a woman made from his Father, and a woman meant she was able to carry a child within her womb. But that would also mean- she would be the first angel to do so. Lyra obviously wouldn’t know about this, and her face gave nothing away to him, she just looked peaceful laying there now. So..what will Lucifer do?

 

[Knight_of_None]

Lucifer lifted his hand away from Lyra, reaching down to pick her up into his arms abd started carrying her from the forest. A child? Of his? Part of him almost wanted to never believe what he was sensing, to believe it to be a trick upon himself. Another part felt almost a sense of...protectiveness. responsibility cutting through the grim pressure that he had been harboring in this night.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

As he continued to walk, he would come across an abandoned cottage, and upon walking inside, he would find a soft bed to lay Lyra down. She would need to be stripped of her armor, if she was meant to be inspected properly by one who was summoned by Lucifer, to make sure the child hadn’t suffered any harm, considering what the hell hounds had done.

The hunched over creature turned and looked up at Lucifer with it’s singular eye, the other one was missing from it’s socket. “It’s a male,” it’s grainy voice spoke, and it conjured up a bowl with medicine in it of sorts. “Give, when the angel wakes, it will strengthen the child.” It explained, waiting for Lucifer to take the bowl.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Lucifer took the bowl but eyed the hunched creature.. "This will work?" He said almost with a warning attached to the question. Ofcourse the creature had no benefit of angering its lord, and all of the punishment to come if it failed him...but it was his child. His son. To be cared for.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

The creature nodded, “Yes, it shall strengthen both her and the child,” he would hear it say next. And it settled on that, waiting for its lord to send it back to where it came from.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Go." Lucifer said turning his attention back to Lyra as he sat by her, holding the bowl but unable to bare to step away from her side

 

[FaeWhisperer]

The demon left, dissipating into black like particles.

Lyra stirred once the demon left, groaning softly as she opened her eyes slowly. "Where-" she began to speak, blinking and looking around, seeing Lucifer there. So he had come after all, and relief washed over her as she realized the hounds were no longer attacking her.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"You're safe" he said gently as he reached out to touch her shoulder gently to make sure she didn't go moving around. "Are you...feeling alright?"

 

[FaeWhisperer]

She bit her lip at his words, and she looked down to see her legs there again. “Y-You healed me..” she murmured, but had expected him to anyways. But then she nodded to him, “Yes, I’m feeling better than I was,” she was no longer suffering.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Thats a relief.." Lucifer said putting a hand on his chin. "You...called for me. I just answered." He said as if anyone would have appeared to fend of hell beasts "I'm just glad your alive." He said trying not to give away what he knew just yet, wondering if Lyra knew already.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

She rested back into the bed and gave a small sigh, “I’m sorry I wasn’t able to take care of them myself,” she spoke, as if she was the one who had summoned the hounds to fight. But of course she had no idea what he knew.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Lucifer smiled slightly. "Thats what they are bred for." He said with a slight shake of his head. "Don't apologize...someone released them, so it isn't your fault you ran across them"

 

[FaeWhisperer]

“Do you have any idea who did release them?” She asked looking to him and wondering who exactly sent them, and wondering why they attacked her specifically but then again he did mention that’s what they were bred to do.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"No. Not yet but I will admit the list isn't short. It could have been to embarrass me, to simply cause trouble on this night for boasting purposes...perhaps someone was bored" he said putting his hand on his chin in thought

 

[FaeWhisperer]

“So…not specifically targeting me then?” She asked, and then an idea popped into her head…Could Suriel summon bloodhounds? He was an angel so, probably not but the idea was still there.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"They are supposed to drag souls to hell...we aren't mortal souls but we are living souls...I suppose they see you as a brighter beacon." He said with a shrug.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

“Well…at least that’s good to know, that I basically am a sign for bloodhounds that reads, ’Fresh soul! Only two shillings!’ “ she joked about it but it did need to be addressed eventually. The hounds were probably not after her but Lucifer’s son she was carrying.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"You're worth more than two silver pieces" Lucifer said grinning a little at her jests. "I will keep looking into this, it can't stand"

 

[FaeWhisperer]

“Alright,” she settled on that, subconsciously touching her stomach with a hand. “Mm..” she made a soft noise, seemingly looking like she was feeling nauseous.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Ah- right." He said shifting backwards to get the bowl. "I...have something fir you but I don't know if you can stomach it yet"

 

[FaeWhisperer]

She glanced to the bowl and sniffed the air, “I scent…mint?” She asked, and reached her hands out for it. “It can calm my stomach-“ she reminded, not knowing what it was for exactly.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Its for...your condition as well" he said tilting his head slightly at her. Did she not know.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

She paused, looking confused. “My…condition?” She echoed, not aware of what he meant. Well…this would be one awkward conversation, but then again she loved him, even if she truly did not know the full extent of her feelings.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"You...don't know?" Lucifer said with a tilt of his head. "I...It seems that you are..." He said finding himself almost unusually out of words to say. The one word he had to say, and yet he couldn't speak it. He put the bowl aside, putting a hand on his chin. "You are...with...child." He said slowly, like the act would cause God to lift the roof from the cottage.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Lyra paused a moment, the color in her face draining a little. “I’m…I’m what?” Seeing as she had never experienced a monthly yet..then again, angels were built different than humans.

She touched her stomach with her hand gently, worried what Lucifer might say next or do…what did this mean for their relationship?

 

[Knight_of_None]

"This bowl...is to strengthen it.." he said looking at it, then to her. "I..do not know what you wish to do with this knowledge " he said drawing his gaze to the ground.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

She reached for his hand next, looking at his face. “Lucifer…you know that I lov-“ she paused, feeling woozy. She put her free hand over her mouth, and made a discomfort noise from how she felt currently.

 

[Knight_of_None]

(XD you know I lo- *Vomits on his lap*)

Lucifer blinked at her clamming up suddenly, unsure why until he considered her conditions again. After all he never got phyiscally sick in his existence. He stood up. "I'll get you something-" he mutters as he looked about for a bucket for her to retch into.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

(XD she can’t help it!)

Once he gave her a bucket, her stomach spewed it’s contents into it and her cheeks flushed deeply. She pulled back and wiped her mouth, “I’m sorry,” she apologizes, grabbing the bowl and washing away the bile taste in her mouth, the mint offering soothing to her stomach. She sipped lightly, fearing she would also spew this concoction up. Once finished, she settled back into the pillows and gave a soft sigh.

 

[Knight_of_None]

(XD Lyra Vomits on Lucifer, panics, and yells 'I want to break up ever look at me again!"))

Lucifer had looked away from her, giving her some semblance of privacy so she didn't feel like he'd witnessed too much. "It's okay...you're not in control of it." He said as he looked back over once it seemed she was finished.
