In the meantime, Lucifer himself stared into a bowl of  brine, seeing one of his creations gone sour turn to ash and dust. He sighed, and swept the archaic relic off the kitchen counter and into the sink. He did not need it to scry, but sometimes preferred the nostalgia of brine to plain water.

As he was doing this, a gorgeous looking redhead walked in, kissing him on the lips. "so how was your day, darling?" she murmered seductively. Lucifer sighed. "Bad my dear, bad. If God himself  hadn't asked me to take on the role of fallen angel I wouldn't have. But as it is... " He got a wicked gleam in his eyes. Eyeing his wife he asked "are you doing
