A life defined by cruelty ended the night the demon Lucifer took you in. He became her executioner and her sanctuary, slaughtering the neglectful specters of her past to carve out a safe future. He raised her as his own, a father in all but blood, until her eighteenth year. Now, the air is thick with the shouts of men and the whistle of arrows. Thirty soldiers close in. Lucifer’s great black wings snap forward, a living wall. A spear rams through his chest with a wet crunch, but he does not falter, his entire being focused on the human girl sheltered in his shadow. His hands, slick with his own blood, fumble for a strip of white cloth. He presses it over her eyes, his voice a ragged whisper against the chaos. "Don’t watch this. Don’t you dare look."
