There are many errors in your current decisions. Allow me.

1. Decent conversation and Lucifer do not go hand in hand.
2. Your whim to return me will dissipate as fast at it arose. It always does.
3. Time, or lack there of. Spare me the 'writing exercise' excuse.

I will not waste time wandering for conversation that reaps no rewards.
I have no desire to engage with other 'cross-canon' brothers or what have you.

Handle yourself. As I see it, your battle with sloth, envy, and pride is not looking in your favor. You may want to focus more on this than on me.

I will admit it is not my own intention, but if I were to end the Brat then the others would not have to fear being killed by him. As it stands the Brat will eliminate them or subjugate them.

Nor was loving, but I know she wouldn't want so many others to be in pain because I stayed my hand that I have used for far more selfish reasons.

[He will admit that won't bring Nor back though.]

I'm not sure what I will do after that. I imagine I won't find true solace, but it's the only thing I can do other than simply living and keeping her memory.

[ He is silent for a long time and considers many words to say but chooses these: ] You do not seem to fear your proclaimed angels. Your nature, perhaps, does not allow it. But you should. If they are anything like mine.

I've fought them before. They can't best me properly and have to use a trick to bind me in great numbers.

If I wasn't able to best Angels I would not be standing here. I do admit though that I think you would present a greater challenge if we were ever to be opponents.

[He's actually trying to approach this respectfully rather than pointing out the fact he has killed Angels directly. Michael seemed to understand necessity or war at the very least.]

[ he understood war painfully well. ]

I see. If you did not claim yourself as a god perhaps this issue would not exist.

Keep in mind this isn't your God.

This one was born like the rest of us. Imagine him more like a king or dictator so controlling he has to take over every land or destroy it trying.

In the Realm of our birth we had an area to rule over, but there were also common areas. As The Brat gained in power his soldiers patrolled those areas and could accuse anyone at their own leisure without any evidence.

He was systematically eliminating the other deities to rise in power.

[ He's quiet a moment because even if this is not his God he can't merely side with something he does not believe in. Besides, Michael is also a General. ]

Not entirely unwise. How is it you plan to dispose of him, then?

You are right so far it is working in his favor. Certainly had I not escaped there's a good chance no one would be able to stop him or even try. He has the others afraid.

[With no mouth he couldn't smile, but Michael would get the distinct sense that he was.]

The Brat is not the only Deity with a powerful following. I've been made aware that one of those large religions no longer has a seat to its throne. Once I find out which deity has left its throne then I will take it for myself and the power that comes with it. Despite not needing followers myself that throne allows for great power.

From there I imagine his soldier's defense against me will fade. I will burst down the gates and consume The Brat. Even if that is not the case I should be powerful enough to have my own army to meet them in battle.

You sound like Belial. [ What kind of trainwreck would that be if this thing and that foul creature met. Lord have mercy. ]

I don't think I've met Belial.

[Though he can probably guess Belial was a demon.]

Outside of my abilities when it comes to fear I can also consume something and take on aspects from them. The Brat's meddling has made things work a little more strangely, but I can work within the parameters of it.

These wings for instance were not always something I had.

[They were more bat-like than feathery so Michael could be reasonably sure they didn't come from anything resembling an Angel.]

[ He was an Angel, actually. Although Michael would say that he was no longer, some Fallen manage to keep just enough of themselves in tact. If he has the mind to do so he might question why and how that was but alas. Michael was gifted with intense loyalty. Twas Lucifer who was plagued with curiosity. Usually. When Michael said he was curious about something he usually meant he was judging you for something. Such in this case: ]

A curious thing. How did you come into formation if not for the Lord. Is there no omnipresense in your world?

[It was a good thing Baxter didn't care about being judged.]

None that has made itself known. As we've come to understand it we come from humans, not the other way around. Their formation and faith created us. My brother the weaver of their dreams. Thor and the like aspects of the cultures that they were birthed from.

If our world was birthed from your God he left us to our own devices well before any of us could remember.

I see. [ He has nothing further to ask. Not now, anyway. ]
