A Drazverse Tale: A Bedtime Story For Little Devils
"What's that, little one? A bedtime story? You can't sleep until you hear a tale? Oh, my little devil-child, you're adorable. Listen then to your mother.
But of course, you know that, little one. You know as well as I do that Satan warred against the Most High and failed, falling to Hell. But do you know what really happened, my child?
Now, before the making of Earth and the humans on it, Luci'El was God's favorite, the chiefest of his creations.
