You hear many stories about how sins were born.

Created.

Made.

Invented.

Formed.

Birth.

Many stories around it.

A few were true. A few were fake. A few were laughable. A few of them could be lying and just let you think about what you know.

Some could have been answered. Could tell you right away. They weren't Lucifer, Lilith, Adam and Eve children. That was laughable. Along with insulting in its own way. They were there with their own names.

No, the real truth kept tightly locked. A lack of true understanding that not even many know the real answers.

Lucifer the fallen angel was the embodiment of Pride. His pride has always been there it was just never given a name. Never was unlocked. It could have stayed that way if he didn't stray from the path. If they just stop listening.  No, instead intervene in the earliest of creations.

Thought he knew better and should have been part of the project. Part to help creation from the dust.

No.

Many said no.

He wouldn't listen. He had his own job but would leave to stay in the garden.

Stayed too long.

I should never have talked to them.

It was also the Elders fault too if they watched closer. If they had someone watching him. Then maybe would have stopped him from getting in between with his curiosity. To let the two creations grow. To handle it themselves. Give them time. Let them learn. That was always the plan. Both of them were equal and wanted control in their own ways. No, just one.

That was not the case as the angel and woman grew the other Pride. Thought they knew better. No longer listening to what was conscious to stop. How this was wrong. How it went too far.

He got in the way. She steps out of line. Touch what shouldn't have been touched. Both did not understand if they just waited but did not do what they wanted. Not thinking of the consequences. Lucifer would never have been involved if he just listened. But he always thought he knew better.

If he never touches the Fruit. If he tries to soothe her jealousy of feeling replaced. Maybe if they wanted to have soon been given another, maybe another chance could have happened.

Both of them gave her that fruit to have free will. A gift that should have been cherished. She could have been like them and her mind would be open. Not, fully obedient.

No, more chances.

Evil was released.

Creation was tainted.

Sins was born.

Well, the name was born and recognized. No, the Sin, the embodiments, were already born but given a name finally. Just like Hell was given a name beside a bottomless pit.

A name that awakens from the other six that lived in the rings of Hell. Each is different from the rest.

Yet, he before the name was revealed they did know about what was outside the realm of the bottomless pit.

The Sins visited the outside of the realm to Earth when it was being designed. Well, what was separated from the garden. The lands, seas and skies of the Earth were very different, uncontrollable and a wasteland. It could have been like Hell in its own way. Even creatures long ago since wipe off out of existence. A few may have swipe one or two bring back to their own rings. Not like anyone has noticed to focus on the other project.

It was still beautiful. In a dangerous non-perfect sense. Not like the Garden of Eden that was perfect. Separate. One of them once tried to get into the Garden of Eden to spread its mark. Believe they were better to be there. Till force back down to their own realm of kingdom ring.

Yet.

It was still a home of itself. Separate just like Heaven. The Garden of Eden. Earth. Space. A realm that Heaven knew before but never touched but knows of it as they open it a rare few time. Still, just like Heaven couldn't tell you exactly when it was created. It would have to be after them, right?

A realm that was dangerous before even when the word Sin came to be. Demons of all sorts walk around the rings where they were born. Rings that once upon a time would go to war with one another to claim the other. Demons that may have had creatures similar to myths that walked on Earth. Soon, forgotten, killed or change.  Those were true demons. Not like these fake sinners who dare to label them a demon. Hellborns are demons but not like compared to before. The Goetia also can't up the level like their ancestors were in those glory times but still contribute. A meaning in Hell.

It would make you wonder about certain questions when you look at all this. The different versions of Creations that humans would forget that was taught in their heads. Humans love what they created, made and show off. Just a sensation, appreciation about it. Even when you start to mix in religion, myths and legends mix. It would go too far to create problems, issues, different power structures, worship, and misconceptions. Was it part of sin? Was it part of stopping believing in our ancestors? Was it a forgetful reminder of what happened last time when you lead astray when the Earth was flooded. Nobody knows and repeat would start over again to bring creation in different dangerous paths of free will.

It still didn't answer all the questions as nobody knows. Even those who would die and go to Hell. The ones who lived in Hell longer than the sinners don't know. Over time many stops asking those questions, believe in the fantasy of lies for an answer or don't give a Fuck. Some even forgot.

Who made them and did they know about sin?

How much did Lucifer actually truly know?

Evil? Sin? Hell? Which was the first? How different is the other? Or are all three the same?

What was their first?

Who was their first?

Was Hell its own embodiment?

Well, you could say it was similar to Creation of Heaven?  Old just like its own but different. It was supposed to be different and the opposite. Maybe but not the way how was it was supposed to be like today.

You just don't know besides think, dream, and theorize. Secrets stay best hidden as not everyone should know everything of the natural order.

Once there was Darkness.

Nothingness. 

Maybe once upon a time this was supposed to be the Abyss of its own kind.

Then a flicker of a light happens.

Not like those stars.

Not like the sun.

Not like the Heaven gates of light.

No.

Hellfire.

Brush the fire out of the way. Then it reforms to make a small opening. It was a view of the Pride ring. Directed at the attention of a hotel. Happy expressions of them coming outside. Unaware. All of them.

Brush it again to see the view of Asmodeus working at his desk. Smile happily to see Fizzarolli walk in with a plate of questionable cook food. Too lovey dovey. Too much paperwork. Brush it away.

Another with Beelzebub making some food and throwing at her guest.

Another to the side what look like w hallway of a hospital? Can even smell the amount of medication, drugs, testing and tears.

Space but only at the red moon. Still, it glows brightly.

Brush aside the toxic green city that disappointment but still grow in its own sin.

Another cave is under the water and brush that aside faster before they let the other see.

Another.

Another.

Another.

Another.

Anoth-

"You can stop that."

Stop, then glance to the side of an imp walking forward. Nods at their direction and look back at the fire. Brush it away but not leaving. The fire turns to sparks as it goes inside the darkness of their robes. A pair of yellow eyes appeared but then vanished. "You're late."

"I'm a Doctor."

"Even Butcher here before you."

Medea glanced over to see Butcher was here indeed. Curl up next to pond of lava. Walk on over to them with their eyes open and glimmer a bit. Got a low growl from the second biggest of the three. "Hush you should know the drill by now."

He hisses but doesn't move. The hunter letting the medic check. Lack of injury or not just have to be careful.

Close his eyes as the imp sighs. "You need to let your body rest. You're really pushing it."

No, word but lower their head down. A small grunt while closing their eyes. It looks peaceful even with the skull mask rested against their head.

Medea sits at the desk on the other side of Wrath. He looks at the tall, robbed horn being. Then at the papers, scrolls. "Busy?"

"When are we not?" Lean back against the chair and tap the table. Purposely ignoring the paperwork. Some of them are not even supposed to be there. "Things have been...hectic all around."

"No? Really?"

"I will hit you."

A gasp comes out of his mouth. "You would hit an old man?"

If a face was showing it would have sent an unimpressed look. "You chose to look like that."

A small shrugged. "Makes me closer to our citizens."

A low sigh as smoke comes out of the face area. "Don't patronize me right now. I am close."

"Your eyeball closer and does the orders. Kind a like that book, and movie."

"Moving on." Aka shut up and we are not bringing that back up.

Again.

The three of them do occasionally meet up. They also do their own things. Their own jobs for the Ring they belong in. Along will do work together like Medea and Butcher would do with Wrath guard force sometimes. Some of the talks differ and won't always need them all together but will be up to date. The nature of their ring brings issues. That is nothing new but nobody will let it slide or go after the ones catering for their ring. Whether it be about food delivery, a drought, some new cartel trafficking fake drugs or kidnapping, a shootout that gotten out of hand, the illegal hunting of citizens, animals becoming problematic and just keeps continuing. Then if get drag in the other sins problems, new laws to learn, updates or have to handle an issue on their own. Along with work outside of their ring that they have to be watch.

It's not the first or the last time that happened.

Sometimes we won't see each other for years but still feel the presence. The citizens aren't even aware how close Wrath really is at times that spread all around. Some were lucky to meet Wrath as a whole. When they would come all together. Besides those like 'important' meeting but even then, able to not always be whole as Satan. Doesn't even explain like some new look trying out with the robe or just their eye at a meeting. Stop asking questions as it became normal to the Sins, and even Goetias. Others like their citizens in the past it was a bit different. There was a loyal warrior who got to witness them. A dear personal friend that stood close by and rain down fire when she was taken away. One time even to the oldest of imp as a past gift to meet them and granted it. The case with Moxxie was special in sense and wouldn't get rid of it. Even with that reveal a possibility would have told them as they got a bit too close. Well, Medea did.

But not everyone knows. Not everyone knows Wrath is separated to say. It wasn't even always like that.

Many think they know Wrath like the Sins would claim but not truly. Not all of them knew each other's secrets.

This meeting has been postponed to say the least. The last few months of what been going on. Then another month after what happened in the Pride Ring.

It was a mess.

The Pride Ring.

This had to be talked about now between them. Not avoided even if they clearly would like to.

"Their fuck."

Medea slowly claps at the explanation. While Butcher just grunted in the background. "No? Really. You don't say."

"This is not a joking matter." Pull out one of the scrolls and open it up. It was footage of the fight that happened at the hotel. Then a separate one of the news story that day.  "Everyone thinks just because he dead. That it is over. Don't have to be afraid for their 'immortal soul'."

Which is stupid in itself. As is Lucifer would have said something. If he bothered too but he isn't fixing the detail what the news said. Or some kind of proof. A report from the Heaven Embassy. Only to follow the word alone.

It's ridiculous.

It's nonsense.

Shook their head looking at the video feed of the cannibal eating the dead angels.

A grunt was heard as the Hunter walked on over. He watches them eat the angels. Not at all phased in the slightest. None of them were. Shook their head with their hat lowered down. "Horrid taste."

"I may question things like redemptions. But I think this wouldn't help them in sending such a message and evidence. Cannibals eat them. The same citizens she wants to protect and give a chance. Yes, quite a sight to give hope for change." Look at the rest of the residents helping fix the Hotel.

"The 'Overlords' are going to try something. The sinners get greedier and greedier as they go. Some haven't noticed how this will tank their leverage in supplies. Another lost many. Then you got those who are hidden and taking care of their own grounds. One of the groups think they can control Hell."

Which doesn't work that way in the slightest.

"This isn't our issue but Pride."

"That's beside the point." Move the video images around. "Pride Ring may be separated but still part of Hell. They're going to bring a war. Issues. Everything down to us again because of this girl wanting something which quite frankly not everyone deserved."

"Pride." Butcher walking over as he gets on the other chair. Began to mess with the seat and curled up like an animal on it. Not sitting properly. His tail pointed at Charlie. "Pride leads to downfalls. Downfalls make others learn. She needs her eyes to open."

"Oh? So, do you care to teach her about the ugliness of the world?"

A low growl with an insulted look in their eyes.

"What about Lucifer?"

Medea let loose a low sigh. "What is there to think?"

"I mean it Medea."

"What you want me to say?" Move the video images of Lucifer fighting Adam. "He fucks us over to many times. He ignores the warning and listens to only what he wants. What she wanted. I say let them handle what will happen this time. They're going to be consequences. We warned them a long time ago even before their child was born. Remember what happen?"

"Don't remind us. We know." It was aggravating. Close to just 'snapping' at that time. Yet, they held back to see what the fake royals would do. After all, that was their job to punish the sinners. To be the wardens, even before Extermination Day. Then to insult being a farmer.

It was pathetic.

It was their mistake to let it get too far.

"I don't want a repeat of a last time as their Prides lead to the first war. Then we foolishly jump in as we all should have known better. None of them were ready. We were still." Stop to finish that last part. Shook their head as he took a deep breath. "This just screaming a second war. Which quite frankly we shouldn't be a part of."

"Could always go that route."

Butcher lifts their head up slightly. Then back down as he stays curled up on chair. Listening but not commenting on the rest of the situation. Can still tell by the body reaction. He too does not like what is going on in Pride.

Well, all of Hell lately.

Things have gotten out of hand.

Sins losing their damn minds and forgetting who they are. 

Ars Goetia going over board and trying to kill the others.

Sinners.

Hellborns try to survive day to day in the carnage, along with life.

"We just need to make up our mind of a stand point if he does drag us."

"Not bothering to add the 'Queen'."

Would be rolling their eyes if they open their eyelids. "Wow we gotten very funny."

"Says the Troll."

"That's means you are a Troll too."

"Last time I recall we decided were different."

"You just like being called Krampus."

Flip the Doctor off.

"How mature."

"Says the one playing chest with a sinner."

Take their glasses off. Eyes close while he cleans them. "Quite frankly I would rather deal with that and the hinged peacock that day. Then these listen to the other headaches lately. So, you know my answer."

Look at Butcher. A nod from them too. "Then it settles. Any other matter?"

"Cults." Butcher hissed in disgust while still resting.

"Yes, lately gotten a bit frantic. Again. Kind of getting a bit desperate. The sacrifices are getting cringer on both sides."

"Can sacrifice for all I care I'm not giving them. What do they even want any more power? Acceptance? Taxes? The answer to life?"

"You tell me. I stop trying to understand when humans would worship us. The cults here are just nuttier. Like the time that one set made a rat statue of you because they thought we were inhabitation its body."

"That sounds like laziness not wanting to talk to them."

"I don't see you correcting them. You just want the extra animals for your petting zoo."

"It's a farm. You help build it."

DING!

DING!

DING!

"Should I even have asked which one sent a text?"

"Take your pick as they all use phones." What? Prefer a letter. Pull out the device and stare at it on their phone. Turn it off. "It that annoying group chat."

Doesn't need to say which one from the tone alone.

"He can go on the waiting list." A snort heard from Butcher.

Stare a little longer at the video feed then close up the scroll. "Check your schedules soon. We have got some business to handle. I want to get to the bottom of some issues that been going on with not just here but Earth."

Neither of the two responded but mentally understood.

Satan will be working.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

Okay in this alternate world/verse. Hell was already there. Even before Lucifer, Lilith fell. It just didn't have a name. Names were important. They had to name themselves over time. So, it was there just like demons. Heaven knew about it. I went a long, long time ago. It was cruel just like before. Six, then later seven of the sins were already born. But no idea of the names of their sins. Over time it did hit because of the Fruit. It awakens the sins in them that were locked up. Just made Hell well extra Hell.

Get to see Wrath, Medea and Butcher interaction. On certain thoughts how they feel but hold back. They have their reasons. Got to hear our Hunter talk. Hints on certain traits from the three.

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
