THE DESTROYER

Lucifer leaned back leisurely in his throne as he read the scroll containing a plan for destroying the Sons of God. Baruch, the demonic Viceroy of the Canaanite region, stood pensively at the door waiting for permission to discuss the scheme with his master. The seven-foot, lizard like demon mistakenly thought he might easily enter. His dark beady eyes darted about as he wondered why he had been summoned to the throne room only to be denied entrance. He formed an uneasy smile as he stared at the two guards. The muscular, nine-foot demons with red scaly skin stood motionless in front of him with spears crossed. One of the demons taunted him, smiling through short, black jagged teeth as he breathed heavily through two small slits in the center of his face.

“Let him by,” Lucifer called out. He motioned for Baruch to approach.

The two demons uncrossed their spears and stepped aside. Lucifer watched with contempt as Baruch approached the throne dragging his right leg. He had been crippled nearly two hundred years ago fighting against angels in the land of Canaan. Lucifer had given him the title of Viceroy for his valiant efforts, but grew to detest the way he hobbled about in his presence . . . a reminder of how much the Lord of Hell abhorred all things imperfect. Baruch's greatest skill was that he was one of the best demons at persuading human beings to worship pagan gods. But for this, Lucifer might have slain him by now.

Baruch reached the steps of the throne and bowed to one knee, lowered his head, and crossed his right arm across his chest.

“Master. I am in your service,” the demon said with a lisp, then grimaced.

“Have we any assets in Nirim Baruch?” Lucifer asked.

“My lord?” Baruch replied in confusion.

“Witches. Have any witches there?”

“Three, maybe four my lord.”

“Which is it?” Lucifer shouted.

“Four my lord,” Baruch said.

Lucifer leaned forward. A sinister grin formed on his thin black lips. “I have a mission for you.”

Baruch looked up. “Yes my lord.”

“Who is your most trusted witch?”

“And elderly woman named Hilda. She has a talent for enchantments and necromancy," Baruch said. He smiled and waited for praise.

“Excellent,” Lucifer said. He folder his arms and thought for a moment. “Send her to Nabal, the one who foolishly attacked the Sons of God. We will use him as our pawn to destroy them. Order her to entice him with dreams of revenge against those who stole his wife and humiliated him in battle. Tell her to persuade him that there are gods stronger than the Sons of God who can aid him. If he wants revenge, then he must submit to their will. When he shows interest, have her perform the rite of possession on him.”

“Who will inhabit his body my lord?” Baruch asked.

Lucifer erupted into loud, sinister laughter. He pounded his fist into the chair. “The Destroyer!”

Terrified, Baruch looked at Lucifer, then around the room. “My lord, but he is beyond control. Were we
