In his world there had only been darkness, destruction, and little hope for creation. That had before her, Elena the angel of hope, her vibrant being full of life, had fallen. She had been a fighter of great beauty. However her wings had been singed as well as broken. Her state had pained him greatly, such a beautiful creature should not have fallen as such. He still retained the memory of her plight as clearly as before.

"Who are you?"

she had looked at him eyes piercing green as he had knelt to her saying nothing, had picked her fragile form up, and carried her to safety of his realm. During this short period she had been unconscious for a time as he had watched over her from the shadows. The memory he recalled as he smiled had been both pleasant as well as painful.

"Who are you? Where am I?" where her first words.

"I am ruler of this realm. As to where you are, you are in a spare bed chamber of my palace" he did not intend to frighten her so he stayed to the shadows.

She glanced quizzically at him "Why are you staying to the shadows?"

"I do not wish to frighten you madam with my form as which happens quite frequently." he said watching her features to sense her reaction.

"I do not frighten easily" she said as she smiled.

"You should my dear those that have heard my name relate me to all evil" I watched as she attempted to move her wings as she winced.

"Where you the one that bandaged me wings?" she sat up a bit staring at the shadows where the mysterious figure hid.

"Yes M'Lady" he said looking at her from the shadows thinking that such a beauty should not be in such pain.

"Then if you aided me when I was weak you are not at all as terrible as individuals believe you to be" she stated simply smiling.

That logic yet goodness itself was enough to melt a bit of his hatred. "Please do not run when I reveal myself to you. Promise me."

With a smile she replied "I promise not to run from you if you reveal yourself."

Slowly he breathed out, 'it was a lie' he thought 'the minute she would see me she shall weep' stepping out of the shadows I reveal my form to her my form was not a pleasant on. Jet black hair sat on my head as rams horns sprouted as well. Where hands would be where claws, red dragon wings were tucked on my back. I wore a red and black suit. I looked into her eyes as red eyes met green as I heard her gasp in shock.

"Satan you saved me? But why?" she replied.

This was not the response he had been expecting, she did not run in fear but gazed into my eyes only in shock. "You have a brave spirit M'lady most of your kind would have run or flown in fear, or they would have attempted murder towards me" He said as he stepped out of the shadows completely gazing at her.

"Not all angels think that way" she stated simply smiling "Though most do not all."

He had chuckled now curious "Why do you always continue to smile M'Lady?"

"Because I am a positive being." she chuckled.

At this he could not help but smile "How did you fall then M'Lady?" I could sense something foreign to this realm within this beautiful creature. Love, kindness and desire? I chuckled interesting she hides those qualities well. "You are too intelligent to have fallen accidentally"

"I fell because of knowledge" Elena replied " Because I know the truth about heaven. "

Crossing his arms the devil eyed the being before him "truly? And what truth is this?"

Elena smirked "That heaven has dark secrets such as forcing souls to obey or else they are unjustly punished" she said quietly. "That is one of the many reasons that I fell."

As both looked at the other in silence the devil replied. "If you wish you are welcome to stay in my realm."

Elena smiled. "Thank you Satan I appreciate it"

She had said his name so casually. With a slight grin the devil smirked. "You are to trusting little one."

Elena smirked herself. "And you are not trusting enough."

Laughing the devil grinned "Touche"

Two years later though, he could remember holding someone very precious next to his Elena. His one and only daughter. While he had many sons his daughters birth gave him so much joy. That was at least before his wife had died to protect her from one of the other hell lords. In his grief the devil growled as he handed his only daughter to one of the faithful harpies to protect.

"Calypso. Protect her with your life or you will feel my wrath."

Holding the child in her arms the harpy nodded. "Yes sire." The child was asleep for now.

"Raise her in the human world. She will be safe there until she gains the ability of sight." While Satan was against this course of action he thought of what his wife would have done to protect her child. "I do not wish her fate to be this one."

Calypso nodded as she flew out of the hell realm with her princess cradled in her arms. Traveling through a portal she hoped that the young princess would live a happy life. "I will not fail you sire. M'lady." she said to herself as she disappeared into the shadows.
