The cabin is built with classic, durable Old World workmanship combined with modern conveniences; a satellite dish on the roof and a central air unit by one wall reveal the presence of such upgrades to modern comfort. A wooden swing hangs from dual chains on the porch, swaying gently in the breeze. The lake that feeds the stream is perhaps fifty yards from the cabin itself, the scent of cold, fresh water mixing with the pine and grass on the wind. A raccoon drinking from the lake looks up, then scampers away, chittering in displeasure at the intruders into its domain.

To temper their souls. To burn the wicked. "I should..." It has been so long, she forgot how to have hope, and hopes only for the day of her undoing.

"As will our time here. You've thought of everything, my star."

Right now, for these fleeting moments, Lucifer is happy, genuinely happy.

But life is change, and without the bad times the good times wouldn't mean anything.
