Michael: Hello,
brother, and why did you call me here?
Lucifer: Well, as you
know, Father has become a bit narrow-minded.
Michael: And what do
you mean by that?
Lucifer: Well, with
his latest creation, he’s seemed, I don’t know. These mortals, what are we
supposed to think of them?
Michael: You know I
think they’re quite splendid.
Lucifer: Yes, you
would say that, wouldn’t you?
Michael: And why
would you say that?
Lucifer: I think you
know why. Someone has just been promoted, haven’t they?
Michael: Why yes I
have. I’ve been appointed the Hand of God.
Lucifer: Yes, second
in command.
Michael: Yes well
you’ll always be first in command, wouldn’t you?
Lucifer: You know,
things could be different, brother.
Michael: I know
exactly what you’re thinking, Lucy, and I would not go down that road.
Lucifer: Please don’t
call me Lucy. I told you about that, it’s going to catch on.
Michael: Oh yes,
right. Well, Louie then. You know, you go down this road, there’s no
redemption. You won’t be coming back.
Lucifer: Yes, you
know me too well. Think about it, though. If I was the one in charge, things
would be so much different.
Michael: Louie, don’t
have those thoughts. It will only drive you insane.
Lucifer: I can’t help
it. It consumes me daily. Think about this: all the freedoms we could have. We
are literally slaves in this realm. We are told what we can and cannot love and
we are told what we can and cannot do. Is that freedom?
Michael: Yes but that
is the gift that Father gave us. God’s wonder.
Lucifer: I choose a
different path.
Michael: Louie…don’t
do it.
Lucifer: Michael…you
know what I’m saying is true. Imagine beyond the seat of the throne. Things would
be so much different. Heaven could be Heaven, instead of this…excuse for a
paradise.
Michael: This place
is a paradise. Don’t forget that. Don’t you forget your place.
Lucifer: I don’t have
to like this, but I believe that I am destined for higher things. Join me. We
could take on Father together. His mistakes, we could look at his most recent
creation.
Michael: Are you
talking about man?
Lucifer: Yes.
Apparently made in His own image. With all the flaws. And all the…well, let’s
put it this way, they are no angels.
Michael: Yes, but
they have the power of creation, don’t they?
Lucifer: So you don’t
see me on a pedestal. Being promoted, pushed above the heavens and being, you
know, taken seriously.
Michael: Louie…you
are having dark thoughts. Think more brightly, come on. Cheer up.
Lucifer: I am cheered
up. This is the most clear-minded I’ve ever been. You have to do it.
Michael: I’m afraid
I’m going to have to decline.
Lucifer: But you know
what that means, Michael.
Michael: Yes, sadly I
do. But please reconsider. You don’t want to do this, Louie.
Lucifer: I have no
choice. This is the only pathway for me. If we don’t take action now, who will?
Who will rise above and take challenge? Father has lost his mind. Creating
these mortals and giving them the knowledge and power of God. Well, we don’t
have that power. Well I do, but no other angel has the same power. And I think
that is quite selfish.
Michael: Louie I
think what you’re doing is quite selfish. You need to reconsider your thoughts.
Don’t do it. You know I’ll stand against you.
Lucifer: Sadly, I
know this brother, but our paths are dwindling in different directions. This
could be the last conversation we have. I’m not changing my mind.
Michael: I regret…the
next words. Lucifer, my brother, if you go down this path, I will stop you with
all of my energy, all of my power.
Lucifer: Then it is
certain. I will miss you.
