Dream away
Go to the fairytale of lies
I know we have to stay
At Lucifer's Court

What are dreams?

Dreams are something everybody has had at some point in their life. Some of those dreams are bad and the other are good. But how have the greatest ideas come from dreams? The worlds strongest thinkers have the most potent dreams. What makes them different from the rest?

How many have glimpsed into the unconcious mind? The layer beneath layers. The knowledge which your body keeps you away from seeing. Some refer to this knowledge as the grand treasure, some as religious objects like the Holy Grail and some simply as something that never can be seen. We are pursuit of this forbidden knowledge while we are asleep, but what keeps us from getting it and achieve "perfection"?

It. It has no name, for there was no-one to name it as it was born. When the first man dreamed, it stirred, but a thousand other minds made it truly come alive. In an metaphysical level, it lives in the world of ideas, which exists besides our seen world.

It doesnt know what had created it. Had it been this thing called God? Has it been some supernatural power way ahead of human thinking? It didnt have an answer, for there was no one to answer. But it found that it was not alone.

As people dreamed, it could see them. Smell them. Feel them. They always sought for a part that was lost to its world.Upon reaching it, they would send an ripple through the world of ideas. This hurt its only inhabitant. It tried to speak to them, but the humans always fleed from it, disappearing to the concious world. So in desperation, it sought to gain entrance to this unseen world.

Once it found a way. A place where the space between spaces was thinnest. It ripped its way through and screamed as the reality enveloped it. Heat surrounded and scoured its body. It wanted to flee, but it couldnt. Then the pain began as it opened its eyes. Infront of it, it saw thousand humans staring at it, spears raised and ballistas prepared. Before it could object, a spear pierced its arm and the humans fell shouting upon it. It ran, horror streaking its face as it saw the future upon these humans. All of them would die. Most with methods unthinkable to a sane person. It saw their children and what would become of them. It saw the soil beneath it burning, radiation boiling everything living. Then the image stilled and reality crashed upon it in a tidal wave of justice, ripping its corporeal flesh and banishing it back to the world of ideas.

So it lay'd there. Inert for centuries. It realised what had and would be the destruction of humanity and its world. The ideas which the humans sought in his world would be their downfall. They were rightfully locked there, so that the humans couldn't gain access to such power.

So it began its burdened task. The next human its saw, it swiped off. The other it bit in half. Many more it trampled. They all would wake in the real world, sweat trailing their skin. He heard them plead in anguish and hatred. They called him nightmare. The devil. A god denied. It chose to call itself Lucifer, in image of the cast off angel. It was placed to this dying world to destroy the humans seeking for the ultimate knowledge. The reason why, is still a mystery to it. Lucifer, now angered for being tormented like this, stalks the lands of dreams, eliminating all humans who come too close to their prize and granting peace to those who minded their own business. It is an avatar of terror, whose wings block out the sun in an promise of endless nightmare. It is the guardian of the unknown, whos claws shred reality and breath reeks cinder. Its white bone frame still displays the blackness that was inflicted upon it when it was first banished from reality. Its eyes burn with anguish and hatred for the unknown.

Its name is Lucifer and it is your dream and nightmare.

Jeesus, that was a handy amount of inventing @_@

So here is my newest random character, nicknamed Lucifer. He is inspired by Civil Wars- Lucifer's Court song and it lead me to truly create something finally unique, so I took almost zero reference on drawing it. Im very happy with the slightly off, but in my opinion menacing posture of it. Hope you guys and gals like it!

This is still WIP thought, cus I am trying to experiment with my tablet <3
