Lucifer, or the Morning Star, once enjoyed prestige as among the most luminous of the immortals, a position he took great pride in. However, he never felt the nurturing affection the other gods showed toward those disgusting, imperfect abominations known as mortals. When he tried to cleanse the Earth of the plague of mortal life by throwing an asteroid into it sixty-six million years ago, the rest of the gods had him apprehended and thrown into the underworld for eternity, all while what remained of life rebounded to reclaim the planet’s surface.
Now Lucifer, as the Lord of Chaos, does what he can to torment the mortals from his subterranean prison, releasing demons to terrorize and smite as many of them as he can. But the three Goddesses of the Hunt, Neith, Artemis, and Skadi have been a thorn in his plans by slaying everything he has released. If Lucifer is to realize his agenda, he must find a way to eliminate those troublesome goddesses once and for all…
Lucifer, although named after one of the Abrahamic devil’s many monikers, is a character I created for a short story I drafted. The story is about the Goddesses of the Hunt going up against a kaiju (giant monster) that Lucifer has unleashed upon modern Japan, all while he is plotting a way to remove them from the picture altogether.
