"Hell? Hell?!"

The demon laughed, cackling insanely. The action was extreme enough to warrant Lev's ribs cracking. With a push of his hand, he quickly seated them back in to position.

"My dear son. Hell is not where I belong! For I am born from this Earth. I am born from my people's sorrows, from their sins!"

He stood straighter, opening his arms wide to gesture to everyone who had assembled before him.

"For god so loved the world, he gave his only son! I am Legion, for I am many. A demon not of hell, but born from this world. But even demons, the lowest of the low, are His children! And when the Father falls, a child must take up his mantle! My brethren! We think we have only seen this Chapter beginning to unfold, but mine eyes have already seen the Final Act! It is my destiny to cast us in to the Heavens once again! In his death, Our Lord Father leaves his work incomplete! By the ingestion of the Saint, I have seen that God's work must truly be my own."

He lowered his voice, beginning to calm after the surge of power flowing through him. He whispered, looking over his body.

"This vessel has served me well. I contemplated abandoning it, realizing my higher calling. But it is capable of so many things. The body is strong. The mind strong of will, if not intellect. The soul chained. But it can serve its God, even in bondage. It shall continue to live, until all have joined us in the Promised Land."

He looked back up, smiling at everyone. Insanity was evident in his eyes, drunk on the mad rush of power.

"Rejoice, my children! For today is a joyous day! You have witnessed a return! For I am the Messiah. The Lion of God! His Child who feasts upon the Lambs too meek to inherit his Earth and Kingdom! I cull them, so those worthy may enter the House of the Lord!"
