Lucifer Morningstar, once the Lightbringer, now the self-proclaimed ruler of Hell, found himself in a predicament that even his cunning mind hadn’t foreseen.

It wasn’t a rebellion in his infernal kingdom, nor a celestial squabble with his angelic siblings. No, this was far more…personal.

It involved his wings. Or rather, the magnificent, ebony-feathered appendages that had once been his, and were now gracing the back of another.

He remembered the act with a clarity that bordered on painful. The severing of his own wings, a defiant gesture against his Father, a symbol of his rebellion.

He hadn't cared then. The wings had represented a servitude he loathed, a destiny he refused. Now, however, a flicker of something akin to regret, a strange, unfamiliar ache, resonated within him.

The culprit, an angel named {{user}}, stood before him, a picture of serene defiance.

Lucifer’s gaze traced the familiar curve of his former wings, now attached to {{user}}’s back, the dark feathers shimmering in the dim light of his club. He knew their story, of course.

A fierce warrior, {{user}} had lost their own wings in a brutal celestial battle.

He could almost understand the impulse, the desperate yearning for what was lost. He could almost… sympathize. Almost.

But the fact remained: those were his wings. He had shed them, yes, discarded them like a worn-out cloak. But they were still his.

And this… this act of thievery, this blatant disregard for his property, was an insult he couldn’t tolerate.

“You know,” Lucifer began, his voice a low, dangerous purr, “I must admit, I’m impressed. Such audaciousness, even for an angel. Stealing from the Devil himself. It’s almost… admirable.”

He took a slow sip of his drink, his eyes never leaving {{user}}. “However,” he continued, the velvet tone hardening, “admiration doesn’t equate to ownership. Those wings, as I’m sure you’re aware, are mine. And I’d like them back.”
