I had to think fast. No use sitting there like an idiot, and he probably wouldn't look to kindly upon a congratulation by such a inferior. I faked ignorance for the time being, pretending to be some scared little french man. Luckily I still had my gift of tongues. I put it to good use, using a southern accent. I played the part of the most unlucky tourist in the world.
"W-who was that?" I stammered, pressing back against the wall. My wings screamed in protest of the pressure, but I ignored it.
"That, Little One, was our good friend
Saint Peter." He spat out the name in revulsion, particularly the 'saint' bit. I didn't have to mime my shiver.
"He just found out about my lovely new prize, the Duloc Gem. A beautiful, terrible thing that. I would show it to you, but I prefer your ugly face attached. For that matter..." He said, withdrawing his Blight Aura. He strode over to me in a vile swagger. He grabbed my face with one hand and turned it as one would appraise a fruit. I felt my skin blister under his touch, but he kept the Blight from truely destroying me.
Satan spread his wings and laughed. A rockslide came from inside the city. I heard children scream, and then just silence.
"Interesting! Interesting..." His eyes flashed.
"I think, my traitorus friend, I will leave you now. I want to see what a... Being... Such as yourself is capable of." Lucifer said, and with another gust of his wings, he launched himself into low orbit. I felt a gust of foul black air, and heard more survivors scream.
Lucifer laughed, and high up though he was, I could still hear him. He rose higher, higher, fading away against a starless night sky.
All the better to watch the world burn.
