Lucius hears the bell, but does not regard it. He was trying to talk to perry right now. [b]"You think you know of me, goddess? I will admit, I am a seraph. An Angel of the highest order. But I am also so much more. More than perhaps I should reveal... But let us not keep secrets from one another. I have no need to lie or deceive you. Look into my eyes Paulette... See what I truly am."[/b] Lucius moved closer to Perry despite the mist surrounding her. The light from his eyes, which once shined sho bright, faded away to reveal the empty black abyss of hell. [b]"They say eyes are the portal to one's soul. I hide mines behind a blinding light, but now I will allow you to see the my true origins."[/b] If Perry bothered to look for more than a second, she would see the horrors that humanity and the gods themselves have subjugated and attributed to hell and it's variations. Endless torture and suffering, pointless violence and meaningless emotions, abused for the sake of cruelty and malice. This was what Lucius represented. His visage of angelic grace was nothing more than a guise he dons to hide a simple fact. [b]"I am the Son of Satan. Believe me what I say that I understand the hatred you would have against your father for who he is. My very being is meant to compliment his own, and all the evils of the world. But i will not let myself suffer for him, and I hate to see you suffer the same from your own father. Please Perry, do not hide your pain from me. I may be a hellspawn, but even I understand the turmoil and struggle. And though my understanding, I wish to heal."[/b]

Lucius's eyes returned to normal, and he lifted out his hand. Perry may begin feeling a warm vibration on her person as the gem he had given her earlier that day responded to him. [b]"You do not need to suffer alone. Allow me to assist you, and you would not need to suffer at all."[/b]

A voice rang out throughout school for the next class. Machina followed the mass of students to where that class would be.
