[ WP ] Satan is a single father trying to raise his son , who , in a rebellious phase , is all into peace , love , and harmony .

`` What happened to your room?'' Was the beastly growl I heard after I put the finishing touches on my redecorating. And I had poked the dragon. Or more accurately I'd angered the ruler of Hell, the literal devil: my father. No, really. I was definitely not what the king of fiery eternity had expected out of his perfect little demon child. Do n't ask me how Satan himself had a kid, I do n't want to know. 
 `` I redecorated.'' 
 His lips curled into a snarl of some kind. Okay so maybe I should n't have used so many peace sign stickers. Or turned the wall from obsidian to sunshine without asking. Yeah maybe I should've asked first. 
 `` Malum, why?'' 
 `` You never said I could n't decorate my room.'' 
 He threw his hands to his temples and rubbed them. `` I have work to do. I do n't have time for this.'' 
 He walked away with his dark cloak blowing behind him. It was some kind of miracle it did n't go up in flames when he walked past a wall of fire. 
 At least I knew it could n't get any worse. I was already in Hell. 
 ================================ 
 
 `` I just do n't GET it, Daemon? Why does he want everything so bright and bubbly? Does he think the real world is like that?'' 
 `` Sir___'' 
 `` I'm talking!'' 
 Satan's right hand demon fell silent. 
 `` What should I do?'' He paused for a split second. `` Now you speak!'' 
 `` He does n't know anything of the real world. He's always lived in this lovely place called Hell. You should let him experience the real world. As in Earth. Might show him this is a great place for the son of Satan. I've heard mortals refer to their high schools as Hell on earth!'' 
 `` Excellent idea!'' 
 ================================ 
 I walked around the pits of the kingdom I did n't really want to be the prince of. I guess the universe and fate had something against me before I was even born. Or created. I really do n't know how that came about. I'd never met anyone I could place as my mother. I just really hoped it was n't anyone in this dump. Sure I lived in a castle and had millions of people required to do my bidding at any given moment but that felt wrong. And I did things for myself. I would have made friends here if most of the people were n't guilty of crimes that landed them in Hell. I did have one friend. A girl that died around my age and chose to be here because she said it sounded more fun. She was kinda nuts. In a good way. 
 She was who I needed to talk to. 
 `` Yo, Malum. What goes on?'' 
 `` Hey, Ella. I redecorated my room. My dad was n't exactly pleased. What're you up to?'' 
 `` Other than wanting to murder a few of my neighbors for being evil people then realizing they're already dead. Not too much, honestly. I've been painting. A few flowers. A few gravestones. Lots of dragons__'' 
 `` You still paint dragons. After the incident.'' 
 Ella had actually bothered a sleeping dragon. He might have tried to turn her into a human-kabob ghost thing. And he failed. 
 `` Dragons are still cool. Besides you're the one completly against revenge. Really? The so of Satan is so into peace! It's hilarious. Your dad set another war in motion. Or more so he let the mortals do so. I think his adversary has given up on stopping him. The world is a piece of shit it seems like.'' 
 `` Els, how do you know all this?'' 
 `` It's not that hard to watch what's going on in the world. Oh and I do think your dad was looking for you.'' 
 `` Then I'll hide in here for a while.'' 
 And then there was a knock at the door. One knock. Two knocks. Three knocks. Third times the charm. And the door swung open. 
 `` Malum, I need to talk to about some things.'' 
 `` Dad, I'm not you. I do n't want this place. I do n't even want to live in this place!'' 
 I kept screaming not listening to my father's increasingly louder arguments. 
 `` I'm sending you away!'' That got my attention. 
 `` What? Where?'' I honestly did n't care where. Anywhere had to be a step up from this place. 
 `` To the mortal realm. Earth. But you're not going alone.'' 
 Who's going with me? 
 `` Miss Ella Jenning shall accompany you. Or would you prefer another soul? Please do n't. She's the only one here that really should n't be here. Why are you here?'' 
 `` This place is a lot more fun. People have cool stories. Though are you aware that your son lives a few feet away from all kinds of psychopaths?'' 
 `` Not for the next 12 months he does n't! Go pack.'' 
 I could n't believe it. I'd always wanted to actually experience life outside of Hell. And now I got to. And I could make the world a better place while I was at it. This was going to be awesome!
