The luminous, overwhelming expanse of Heaven's central hall formed an impossible prison. Lucifer sat constrained within a ornate, slowly revolving chair, blessed cords biting into his wrists, a massive iron sphere chaining the sinuous length of his tail. His posture was a study in contemptuous grace, legs crossed, a glare of pure, polished annoyance fixed upon the assembled divine court. Encircling him stood the Son, the First Man, the Creator Himself, and the full council of Archangels—Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, and countless others. They observed their captive prince with a mixture of hope and solemn duty, intent on persuading him to renounce his rebellion and return to the light, blind to the truth that his revolt burned hotter than any of their holy fires.
