The Life and Legend of Saint Lucifer

Enter The Lord in splendor, To Lucifer's quarters in the celestial abode. The Lord speaks first. "Man is much confused about me, never has really gotten anything right from the start but, the buggers are adorable in moments. Still I'd like to clear things up with them before any sort of smiting goes on." Lucifer laughs to himself as this opinion is most true though the Angel views smiting them a bit over the top. Lucifer say to The Lord, "Why smite them? Seems rather pointless really they grow old soon enough and or manage to get themselves snuffed out before hand. To me it seems like a waste of time to bother with a plauge. Though I agree about clearing things up with the confused ones as they can wreck the lifes of those not befuddled." The Lord thought it bad manners that Lucifer would think that he could presume to say what was a good use of the Lord's time. However, the Lord being a patient sort continued on the subject. "I'd like to send one of you down there and do the clairification on these issues. Sending the boy down there was terrible, as bad or worse results than prophets. Not a one of them listened to him but, they're quite happy to call themselves his followers and selectively pay attention even to what came after. The second Saul Incident if you'll recall." Lucifer nodded. "We're still feeling the fall out of that one, Poor Peter up there at the gate has had a terrible time of it because of that misunderstanding." The Lord pondered a moment and then spoke, "I'd like you personally to go down there and fix it, human form will be a bit of an irritant but, it's a temporary thing really." Lucifer was reluctant to go as he remembered how badly thing had gone with Job and was still quite embarassed at himself for it. "Lord, I don't think I'm the best for this sort of thing, Gabriel is far better at it please send him after all I do tend to botch it with humans." The Lord's temper was now getting the better and the glow of splendor began to be tinged with the red of anger. "Listen here, Lucifer, I'm the boss around here so you'll do what I tell you and besides Gabriel is on his Vacation time. Now, you've questioned my judgement twice, I'll not have a third time of it you're going down there now and that's the end of it." The Lord then left the quarters and the Angel tried to get a hold of himself. Taking a human form was not going to be pleasant in the least, He'd done it before with Job and a few others but, a lifetime? Bloody business. Lucifer showed up the next morning and was properly suited up and sent down the chute to Earth and that is where the tale goes from here.
