However, powerful as they are, they are not perfect individuals and like human beings, they can also be corrupted with negative emotions. And right now, the said individuals were enraged- enraged at a new threat to their beliefs.
They have heard of a new white phantom that is to join their ranks... They believe that there should only be 12 phantoms and other number is unlucky. Thus it come to pass that their beliefs were confirmed and thus charged Merlinus, a companion of theirs to handle the situation. Thus with pride, they continue to dwell in their belief, deeming the situation resolved, they uttered a prayer- a vow that will keep them together.
The prayers goes:
Let us, the twelve Phantoms bind together
Let us follow the will of Vatos
The one inviolable creator and true god
for the sake of a pure and perfect World!
Let us follow the will of Vatos
The one inviolable creator and true god
for the sake of a pure and perfect World!
Episode 20: Lucifer
In a small chamber, there lay a young phantom on a steel bed. A seemingly old man, or known to us as "Merlinus" hovered over him, telling him to awaken. As the younger one awaken, the education started right away, and introduced himself or rather asked himself to be addressed as "Myrddin" along with "Dad" or "Father". After the younger one agreed, Myrddin immediately took the role as a father and chose a name for his "son". After picking "Lucifer", the man warned his new son not to take his true name lightly.
Later after their encounter, Myrddin found Lucifer dwelling on his own thoughts, despondent and distant. This worried the phantom and asked his son what's wrong. Lucifer responded right away and asked if he can truly become a white phantom. Myrddin asked why he has managed to say it. His son told him that he heard the twelve white phantoms that there should only be 12 and nothing but 12. They also told him that he is made of rubbish that's only to be discarded.
His father merely laughed and told him he believed otherwise. Myrddin asked him why he wants to be and was disappointed when the other responded "to pursue a perfect world". He told his son that he is wrong due to the fact that seeking perfection will most likely twist our views and cause us to reject all that is imperfect. Nevertheless, he assured his son that he would be a white phantom stating that soon, there would only be 11 of them and the phantoms cannot accept such number (due to it being bad luck) thus there is a strong possibility that he would become one of them.
Meanwhile, the phantoms, behind hidden mirrors has told Lucifer that Merlinus has created the most brilliant plan to eradicate the entire human race- the deployment of control centers across the land. After a few commands, Lucifer uttered a simple "understood" and went on his way.
In another location, we see Myrddin talking with Ogam, telling him that they would start the plan soon and everything will be in perfect order. The old man told the phantom to take care. A few more secrets that are irrelevant (but will be useful in the future episodes) were revealed, until Lucifer entered the scene and broken their conversation, telling Myrddin that it is time for them to descend to the Earth.
As Myrddin walked away, Ogam told Lucifer that he is "silly" in the fact that he can't understand at all that showing off your talents is dangerous in heaven. Without knowing what it truly means, Lucifer ran to catch up with his father.
The two has managed to descend to Earth and came upon heaps of decaying corpses as ice age has taken over, freezing the defenseless humans and attacking them from within. Lucifer urged his father to go back, stating that their coming here is a simply waste of time. However, Myrddin exclaimed that the had made a realization, chastising himself for not realizing it in order just before the nearing of the completion. Lucifer asked him what he meant.
His father simply pointed him to the corpses. But still, he cannot understand. Thus the man explained it to him, stating his observation on how the humans combated the freezing cold. He noted that the women, men and aged stayed outside the circle while in the center is where the children are.
Lucifer could not see the significance, stating that all of them died anyway, signifying their weakness. Myrddin however is not just about to give up. He pointed to the center and noted the "still-alive-child" ordering Lucifer to save him. His son refused at first but Myrddin convinced him. Lucifer, annoyed at the seemingly futile efforts told him that it is merely a foolish thing to do and by continuing it, it would only risk him being destroyed and he would not allow that.
This made Myrddin realized one thing. He realized that his son is willing to turn a blind eye to everything just to save him. Thus he had made his decision and issued a final request.
The request turned out to be an absolute order in which it cannot be disobeyed. In a moment, Lucifer found himself unable to move true to the words of his father "Do not interfere- let my son be heavy as lead and be firm as stone. Let him stay still even just for a while". His father told him to watch what is about to take place.
To his horror, his father came near to the child, and chanted a spell- revealing the forbidden secret of fire. Despite his protest, his father did not listen and instead, continued to introduced the fire to the child.
When everything seems to be over, Myrddin performed the song of Genesis, a dangerous spell that drains the user of his life force and energy. While performing the spell, he turned to the child and told him that he is freeing him from the destiny/fate that the phantoms forced on them. Once this happens, he slowly vanished, leaving Lucifer to grieve his loss.
