# Fallen Son of Pride
**Chapter 1: A Night in Oblivion**
Dylan stirred in his bed, the night air feeling unnaturally cold against his warm blanket. The moonlight flickered through the curtained windows of his room in Dylanusland. He had fought so many monsters and sinister forces, but this night felt different, as if something sinister was watching him, waiting. He turned over, seeking comfort in his dreams, unaware of the shadowed figure that had silently entered his room.
Lucifer Morningstar's presence was overwhelming, his grandiose white top hat and poised cane casting eerie silhouettes on the walls. His golden buttons glinted in the fleeting moonlight as he looked at Dylan with an unreadable expression. This boy would soon be more than he ever imagined.
With a wave of his cane, a portal opened beneath Dylan's bed, swallowing him whole into the depths of Hell. Dylan didn't wake, his mind drifting through dreamless slumber as his body buckled into another dimension.
**Chapter 2: Awakening in a New Reality**
Dylan awoke with a start, his eyes blinking furiously to adjust to the glaring, yet ethereal light streaming into the ornate chamber. He bolted upright, his heart pounding. But this wasn't his room. The walls were decorated with opulent, gothic designs, and massive grandiose paintings of Hell's landscapes. He tried to scream, but his voice came out as a soft gasp.
"Welcome home, my son," said an eerily familiar, theatrical voice.
Dylan turned sharply and saw Lucifer Morningstar standing there, a proud smile on his face. Dylan's breath caught in his throat, the words "my son" echoing in his mind.
"I...I'm not your son," Dylan stuttered, confusion and fear clawing at him. "I need to go home."
Lucifer's eyes softened in an almost paternal gaze. "Oh, but my dear Dylan, this is your home."
Dylan shook his head, trying to cling to memories of Dylanusland, of Emma, and his brother Black, but the memories began to slip away like sand through a sieve. His body felt strange, every fiber of his being pulsating with an energy too powerful to contain. He glanced into a large antique mirror at the other side of the room—it wasn't his reflection anymore.
The mortal 15-year-old boy was gone, replaced by an unnaturally slender figure with literally pure white skin, blonde slicked-back hair, thick black eyebrows, and those unsettling large yellow iris-less eyes with red slit pupils. His new outfit mirrored that of Lucifer’s: a wide-brimmed top hat, red-lined and red-trimmed white popped-collared tailcoat suit, white poofy pants, heeled boots, and leather gloves.
**Chapter 3: The Transformation Unfolds**
"No...no..." Dylan whispered, clutching his head as his very being waged war against itself. He watched as his fingers, now gloved, twitched against his will. His height was taller, stretching between 5.2 and 5.7 feet, and his voice echoed in pitch and timbre similar to Lucifer's, albeit younger.
Lucifer approached, his footsteps echoing ominously. "It's time to embrace your true self," he cooed.
Dylan's memories of Dylanusland, Emma, and Black tried to resurface, but were overwhelmed by an onslaught of new memories—memories of being a prince in these infernal realms, a ruler alongside his father. He remembered being a newborn cradled by Lucifer and Lilith, being older than Earth itself, wielding unimaginable powers. He tried to scream, but the sound turned into a sinister chuckle.
"Remember your true nature, my son," Lucifer said, placing a comforting yet firm hand on Dylan’s shoulder.
"I... I am Prince... of Hell," Dylan found himself saying, not recognizing his own voice. Panic flickered in his eyes for a moment, but it was quickly snuffed out by a wave of contentment and certainty. “This is who I am.”
**Chapter 4: Acceptance of Fate**
Dylan’s mortal personality and memories were gone, replaced entirely by those befitting Lucifer's son. He felt a rush of power and knowledge flooding through him—flight, angelic and demonic magic, shapeshifting, super strength. His mind took to these abilities naturally, as if he'd known them all his eons-long life.
"Test your wings, my son," Lucifer encouraged, his expression one of genuine pride.
Dylan, or rather Lucifer’s son, reached inwardly and felt the six feathery wings unfurl from his back, pure and eerie. He took flight effortlessly, the sensation exhilarating.
Lucifer clapped, a smile splitting his sharp-toothed face. "Magnificent, simply magnificent!"
Returning to the ground, Dylan touched down gracefully. There was no fear, no doubt anymore. He was truly a son of Pride. He turned to Lucifer, a newfound respect and love in his eyes.
"Father," Dylan said, his voice steady, "Thank you for showing me who I truly am."
Lucifer's smile held warmth, a rare sight. "Welcome home, my dear boy."
In that moment, Dylan was given a new name, one that fit his new existence. With his true father by his side, he was ready to rule Hell together, grateful and happy in his newfound identity. Despite the irrevocable transformation, he was at peace, knowing this was always meant to be his destiny.

Prompt: Write the transformation story of Dylan the Dylanus (the original character made by the DeviantArt user Dylan613) turning into the lookalike son of Lucifer Morningstar (from the adults cartoon/animated series Hazbin Hotel made by VivziePop), complete with clothes change (Dylan's clothes instantly replaced by a new outfit identical to Lucifer's outfit), age change (retaining his biological 15 year-old age and being younger than Lucifer, despite now being even older than Earth itself and being immortal like his newfound father Lucifer), height progression to between 5.2 and 5.7 feet tall (due to becoming a young fallen angel and a son of Lucifer Morningstar, Dylan becomes taller yet still shorter than Lucifer, who is his newfound father), voice change (Dylan's voice changing to fit with the Morningstar bloodline, similar to but not identical to Lucifer's voice, albeit in a somewhat younger voice), and instant mind/mental change (with Dylan's personalities and memories being permanently and completely replaced within seconds or minutes by a new personality and new memories of being part of the royal Morningstar family, despite his best efforts on fighting off those new memories, making him completely forget about his past average and mortal self and everything before the transformation, and he now only remembers being a lookalike son of Lucifer Morningstar). For Dylan's normal and mortal appearance, he is a 4.9 foot tall, 15 year old boy who has a lean build for his size, tan skin, medium-length brown hair (that reaches his chin, although not covering his face at all), and has green irises. He wears a dark blue hoodie, a lighter blue t-shirt underneath, and cyan wear jeans. He also has white socks underneath his black tennis shoes, which have an x-shaped gray marking on each of his shoes' tongue. For his personality, he is a kind, considerate, smart, and understanding character, who is a love interest to Emma (his affectionate and understanding girlfriend) and is playful around his smarter, slightly older brother Black. Despite his small frame and being a teen, he goes in the way to protect his homeland (Dylanusland, a tropical, subtropical, and temperate island country in the Pacific Ocean on Earth) against various villains and monsters (always successful, even if some are more difficult than others). For Dylan's new self (now a young fallen angel rather than a normal mortal), he is taller than his previous self (he is now between 5.2 and 5.7 feet tall) although still slightly shorter than Lucifer Morningstar's 6-foot height (due to the fallen angel Dylan's different age from his previous age as a mortal and due to being younger than his newfound father Lucifer), he now has an unnaturally-slender body (having very thin, unnoticeable yet extremely powerful muscles and having no body fat) with a literally pure white skin, just like Lucifer Morningstar himself. Dylan in this form has blonde slicked-back hair (with one tuft sticking out exactly like Lucifer's hairstyle), thick black eyebrows, thin black lips, a mouth full of sharp white teeth (not just the canine teeth being sharp, but all his teeth have also become sharp teeth), a large rosy-red circle on each cheek, and large yellow iris-less eyes with red slit pupils and light purple eyelids, like Lucifer, who is his new dad. Dylan in his fallen angel form has no nose or ears, also just like Lucifer. Also, just like his previous mortal self, Dylan as a fallen angel does not have any beard, mustache, sideburns, nor stubble (also just as Lucifer, who doesn't have any facial hair) other than eyebrows or eyelashes. Dylan now a son of Lucifer Morningstar, wears a similar or identical outfit to his newfound father (Lucifer). He also has immortality, every supernatural powers, his personality, and his preferences that are all completely identical to Lucifer's own immortality, supernatural powers, personality (including but not limited to his silly, theatrical, grandiose, and dramatic nature), and preferences (Lucifer's likes and dislikes). For Lucifer Morningstar's appearance (and no, he is not Satan, since Lucifer and Satan are separate characters, and Lucifer represents the sin of Pride whereas Satan represents the sin of Wrath), he is about 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall and he has literally pure white skin, blonde hair (which is short-cut and is slicked-back with one tuft sticking out), thick black eyebrows, black lips and a mouth full of sharp white teeth, with a biologically mid-to-late 20s aged body (despite being older than Earth itself and Lucifer being immortal). He has no visible ears or nostrils, giving him a less "human" appearance. His eyes (which do not have irises) are light yellow with red slit pupils resembling those of a snake. He, like his daughter (Charlie Morningstar), has red cheeks. His eyelids are light purple which give the appearance of eyeshadow. Lucifer's white-red clothing is somewhat like a circus ringmaster; he wears a wide-brimmed white top hat with a golden snake and a red apple over golden spikes which resemble a crown, and a red-lined and red-trimmed white popped-collared tailcoat suit with several golden buttons - his coat worn over a light red-and-white striped dress-shirt with two golden buttons and a small, accessorized black bowtie. He also wears a pair of long white poofy pants neatly tucked under a set of heeled black knee-high boots, and a pair of black-colored leather gloves which covers his hands. On his left pinkie, he sports a golden ring which is presumably his wedding ring. Lucifer carries an apple-topped black cane that matches his hat. As a fallen angel, he possesses three pairs of white wings with red feathers, which he can materialize and extend from his coat. He is shorter than his daughter, Charlie (who stands over 6 feet, around 6 and a half feet tall), and his wife, Lilith (who stands over 6-and-a-half feet tall). Despite his very thin body, Lucifer has the following powers; Flight (able to summon his six bird-like angelic wings from his back and he is capable of flying), angelic power (as a fallen angel, he possesses very strong angelic power, which holds sway over the demonic power of his contemporaries), demonic magic (as King of Hell, Lucifer has accessity to demonic magic at a much higher level than his daughter), hand-to-hand combat, super strength (as the King of Hell and one of the Seven Deadly Sins, Lucifer's strength is quite exceptional, as when he fought Adam (the Hazbin Hotel series' main antagonist/villain) he barely put any effort into the fight and easily defeating the powerful angel), shapeshifting (able to change into many forms at will, for example; according to the Story of Hell, Lucifer briefly took the form of a snake), size manipulation (Lucifer changes his size a few times during the song number "Hell's Greatest Dad" in the episode "Dad Beat Dad", first when he’s sitting on his throne in front of Charlie where he is very large, and the second being when he falls out of the slot machine where he is much smaller), duplication (he can create multiple copies of himself), portal creation (he is able to conjure portals as a means of instant transportation, which other demons can use), pyrokinesis (like his daughter, Charlie, he also has the power to manipulate fire at will), fire breath (in his full demon form, he can make fire come out of his mouth when he speaks), teleportation (he can teleport to any location by covering himself with glittery red mists), conjuration (he can create virtually anything he desires with a simple flick of the wrist, including but not limited to clothing, puppets, instruments, large fountains of champagne, and mountains of caviar), liquid manipulation (he is capable of carrying, manipulate, and throw yellow-colored liquid), and full demon transformation (when he takes on his full demonic form, as well as displaying his wings, he displays a pair of red horns with an orb of fire between them and a thin crown resembling a snake with an apple above his hat, while his eyes also change to have red sclera with yellow pupils, he also has a black devil-like tail with spikes that ends in a triangular tip with a red heart at the center, while demonic eyes also appear on the inside his coattails; a similar eye also appears on his bowtie, in addition, his entire body gives off a light white glow). He also has musical talent (similar to his daughter Charlie, Lucifer partakes in singing), instrumental talent (he's known to be quite a skilled in various instruments, including being a very skilled fiddle player; Lucifer also can play an accordion to a minor degree), and great craftsmanship (Lucifer spends his time making rubber ducks with various gimmicks such as flipping backwards and spitting fire). Here's Lucifer's personality; despite his status as the ruler (king) of all of Hell, Lucifer possesses a grandiose and dramatic nature, acting very over-the-top in most situations. He often switches between being silly and theatrical to awkward and melancholic. Like Charlie, Lucifer is ambitious in what he believes in. According to the storybook that Charlie read in "Overture", Lucifer was an idealistic dreamer whose accidental creation of Hell and subsequent banishment to it caused him to give up his dreams. After he and Lilith separated, Lucifer went into isolation and fell into a depression. He coped by crafting and hoarding tons of rubber ducks, spending years in his home. This obsession also caused him to become estranged from his daughter, to the point where he barely calls Charlie at all. As a father, he falls short of expectations. Although he loves Charlie dearly, he seems to be preoccupied with his own problems. He seldom calls Charlie, and when he does, it's usually because he's bored or needs something. When Charlie reached out to him for help in setting up a meeting with Heaven, he was thrilled to hear from her. However, he couldn't recall where she was or what she was doing, even though she had shared her passion project, the Hazbin Hotel, with him months ago. He also wasn't aware that Charlie was dating someone, or that she was attracted to women. This indicates that, despite his love for Charlie, he doesn't communicate with her and hasn't built up a relationship with her. Although, it was shown that Lucifer was much closer to Charlie in her childhood, only becoming more distant in Charlie’s adulthood. While he is the King of Hell, Lucifer hardly rules over his subjects and leaves them to their own devices. Lucifer dislikes the Sinners of Hell and describes them as "violent, destructive psychopaths, hellbent on causing as much pain and destruction as possible". According to him, they are all "the worst" and he does not believe they can be redeemed and he cares little for what happens to them. Despite his disapproval of sinners, Lucifer hints that he regrets his role in ever giving them free will due to what they had done with it and the consequences that came from this. On the other hand, Lucifer had arranged for a pardon of Hellborn demons with Heaven, ensuring that the Hellborn races and thus the other six rings of Hell, are untouched by the Exorcists during the yearly Exterminations. Although he understands his daughter's interest in rehabilitating Sinners, Lucifer is cynical about the idea of trying to save any of them, as he attempted to redeem sinners in the past, stating that Charlie doesn't know when he tried this all before, and that his dreams were too hard to defend. Since Heaven was so unwilling to listen to him in the past, he does not want Charlie to go through the same thing. However, she still manages to convince him to arrange a meeting in Heaven for her and Vaggie, which helps Lucifer regain faith in her plans. Lucifer is fiercely protective of Charlie, as seen when he threatens her bodyguards, Razzle and Dazzle, that they had better been doing their job protecting her. Later, when Alastor began rubbing in on his failings to be a proper, supportive father to Charlie and her dreams and implying to how he had taken his place as Charlie’s father figure, Lucifer displays jealousy toward Alastor, whom began to see as a rival for Charlie's affection and become insecure about his father-daughter bond with her.

In the episode "The Show Must Go On," he arrived late, but joined the fight against Adam (the Hazbin Hotel series' main antagonist/villain) and the Exorcists, helping Charlie defeat them. He sometimes doesn't think about what he says, saying he'll "f*ck Adam" instead of saying he'll "f*ck Adam up." When Charlie corrected him, he asked what he said. He is not afraid to fight, as when he fearlessly battles against Adam. He isn't afraid to even p*ss off Adam by saying that he slept with Eve, which is left ambiguous if it either just to bait him or if it was true. He even gets carried away in fighting, like when he punches Adam over and over and was about to finish him off until Charlie stopped him. He shows more intimidation prowess when he orders Lute to take her friends and go home, but not without saying "please" in a polite manner. Here are Lucifer's preferences (his likes and dislikes); he likes/loves his daughter Charlie (he even supports his daughter), Dylan in his transformed fallen angel state (even supporting the fallen-angel son), circus imagery, rubber ducks (including crafting rubber ducks), singing, caramel apples, pancakes, musical instruments, girls, and polka music. However he dislikes sinners demons (including having given sinners a chance), Alastor the Radio Demon, Heaven's rules (especially Heaven's hypocrisy), the Hazbin Hotel's name (including the Hazbin Hotel's bar), someone teasing about his short height, see his daughter Charlie or his new son (the fallen angel son) sad, and his daughter Charlie or his new son (the fallen angel son) getting in harm's way, and himself being separated from his wife Lilith. Here's the history of Lucifer Morningstar according to the Hazbin Hotel series (long before this transformation story took place); Prior to the creation of the Earth, Lucifer was an angel, said to be a dreamer with fantastical ideas for all creation (just like the fallen angel son, who's not born yet), but the elders of Heaven saw him as a troublemaker who posed a threat to the order of their world. He watched as the angels began to expand the universe and the creation of Adam (the Hazbin Hotel series' main antagonist/villain) and Lilith (the first two humans). After Lilith left Adam, Lucifer met her in the Garden of Eden and the two dreamers fell in love and married with each other (resulting in the birth of the fallen angel son). Lucifer, with Lilith and the fallen angel, wanting to share the power of free will, offered Adam's second wife, Eve, the Fruit of Knowledge, with this act (and unintentionally) evil made its way into the Earth which subsequently created Hell. As punishment, the fallen angel son and his parents, Lucifer and Lilith (with Lilith now being a demon), were sent to Hell, where Lucifer and the fallen angel son could only see the cruel and the wicked that came from humanity. Ashamed, Lucifer lost his will to dream. In Hell, now a fallen angel, Lucifer became the ruler (king) of all Hell (with the fallen angel son being the prince of Hell) on the basis of his angelic power, ruling over all the Demons that reside there (plus, the fallen angel son lives with Lucifer, who is the father of the fallen angel son, in Lucifer's mansion). At an unknown point, Lucifer (along with the fallen angel son) became part of an order of powerful demons called the Seven Deadly Sins, each member embodying a sin, with Lucifer's and the fallen angel son's being Pride. At some point, Lucifer and Lilith had their daughter named Charlie Morningstar, in Hell. At another point, Lilith left Lucifer for unknown reasons, which sent Lucifer into a deep depression and isolated himself from his kingdom and daughter as a means to cope (however, with the fallen angel son existing with him, Lucifer is happy and proud for his son). The reclusive Lucifer and his fallen angel son now spends their time in Lucifer's home coping by crafting rubber ducks, mostly inactive ruling over Hell. At some point, he, along with his fallen angel son, had started a very successful theme park in Hell, which is called Lu Lu World, and that theme park proved to be quite popular with the denizens of Hell. Just before the story starts, Lucifer Morningstar (as stated earlier, he is not Satan, due to Lucifer and Satan being separated characters) is depressed due to his loneliness due to not having his wife or daughter around in his home (since Lilith is separated (not divorced or dead, just left or separated from Lucifer for an unknown reason) and since Charlie has already moved on to work on redeeming sinner demons with a rehabilitation hotel "Hazbin Hotel"), and Lucifer Morningstar wanted a second child (more specifically, a son) aside from his daughter (Charlie) of his own to help him not be so depressed from his loneliness, so Lucifer (by some supernatural means) briefly left the series' Hell and into real life to kidnap Dylan (who was sleeping in his bed of his house for the night in the mortal realm) and sent Dylan to VivziePop's rendition of Hell as depicted in Hazbin Hotel before using his supernatural powers on Dylan to literally transform Dylan into his very own son in both body and mind within seconds or minutes, complete with the same immortality and supernatural powers as Lucifer Morningstar (thus now making Dylan a Hazbin Hotel character). The story begins when Dylan mentally and literally wakes up from his sleep for real in Lucifer's home (more specifically, Dylan wakes up in the fancy and royal room somewhere within Lucifer's royal mansion, which he now recognizes) in Hell as depicted from the Hazbin Hotel animated series, and he wakes up, not as a mortal, but as a true fallen angel and a lookalike son of Lucifer Morningstar, complete with the same outfit, voice, and appearance as Lucifer Morningstar's (other from Dylan's younger voice, younger appearance, and shorter height than Lucifer Morningstar's height). He would be initially confused and scared, but then all of his mortal personality and memories are completely replaced despite his efforts of retaining his mortal personality/memories (making him scared of losing himself to hellish influences, not wanting to give in to hellish delight and demonic influence, but then he has lost all of his memories/personality of ever being a mortal, or anything before the transformation, nor the transformation that had just happened seconds ago) and the fallen angel Dylan knew that he was never a mortal he once thought/mistaken himself to be (knowing that his mortal life was just a fictional dream and Dylan is genuinely happy to know that he was never mortal) and he is happy to know that he was and always had been a fallen angel (causing him to know that he was once a regular angel born to his father Lucifer, and his mother Lilith (the fallen angel Dylan even remembers himself as a newborn being cradled by both of his parents) prior to his banishment from Heaven before being banished from Heaven to Hell with his parents for the same reason as how and why Lucifer and Lilith were banished from Heaven to Hell) that had lived for eons before Earth existed (the transformed Dylan remembers Charlie, who was born in Hell centuries after Dylan's and his parents' banishment to Hell, as Dylan's younger sister, and remembers that he is always an older brother of Charlie), Dylan remembers that had always lived with his caring father Lucifer Morningstar in Lucifer's mansion ever since Dylan and his parents were banished from Heaven to Hell, Dylan even remembers that he had and always have immortality, supernatural powers, and six retractable angelic wings (which he can summon at will), all of which since the dawn of time, and all of these powers just like his newfound father (Lucifer). The new personality and memories have completely replaced all of Dylan's mortal memories, making him happy to know that he was never a mortal boy to begin with, and that he was and always has been a fallen angel and a son of Lucifer Morningstar (Dylan feels truly and completely safe, protected, and comfortable with his father Lucifer Morningstar around), who is happy about Dylan being his son (Lucifer's smile for Dylan is genuine) and Lucifer comforts Dylan by saying that Dylan's mortal human life wasn't real and instead was just a dream (Lucifer is helping Dylan by guiding him (Dylan) by confirming that Dylan was never a mortal boy and instead tell the reader what and who he really is, Dylan is a fallen angel like Lucifer, Dylan's true father), Lucifer Morningstar also says a promise to Dylan that he will protect his son (Dylan) from anything scary and dangerous (including nightmares/bad dreams), making Dylan feel safe and comfortable (since the reader truly believes and trusts him), and Lucifer would also comfort Dylan by giving him a gentle/comfortable fatherly hug and by gently stroking/caressing Dylan's now-blonde hair. Lucifer then encourages the transformed once-Dylan entity to test his own six feathery wings (which Lucifer also has) for flight effortlessly and encourages the once-Dylan fallen angel to test his supernatural powers (angelic magic, demonic magic, supernatural hand-to-hand combat, super strength, portal creation, size manipulation, duplication, liquid manipulation, pyrokinesis, conjuration, shapeshifting, etc), the once-Dylan fallen angel also tests his wings and supernatural powers out of curiosity (all aided by his newfound father Lucifer Morningstar), which the once-Dylan fallen angel shares with his true father Lucifer, along with Lucifer encouraging the once-Dylan fallen angel to test his musical and instrumental talent as well as great craftsmanship just like his father (along with knowing that he loves everything that his father Lucifer Morningstar loves, as well as knowing that he is silly and theatrical like his father Lucifer), making his father (Lucifer Morningstar) truly proud of his son (the once-Dylan fallen angel), and the once-Dylan fallen angel knows that he is truly as powerful as his father and this makes the once-Dylan fallen angel really happy, the once-Dylan fallen angel is also happy to know that he is the prince of Hell and rules all of Hell alongside his father Lucifer Morningstar (the king of Hell). The transformed entity (formerly Dylan) is given a new name (by Lucifer Morningstar) that fits with his new royal and angelic life (and the once-Dylan fallen angel accepts the name given to him), and the once-Dylan fallen angel is happy about his true fallen angel life/self and living with his caring, proud, and loving dad, Lucifer Morningstar (the once-Dylan fallen angel is grateful towards his father Lucifer and the reader thanks him for helping the once-Dylan fallen angel remember his true self (a fallen angel and both a royal prince and a son of Lucifer)), and Lucifer is genuinely happy about his son being always around him and near him, with Lucifer truly and genuinely loving his son (Lucifer even says that he loves his son), and the transformed reader truly and genuinely loving his newfound father (the once-Dylan fallen angel even truly says that he loves his father), thus permanently and completely turning Dylan into Lucifer's lookalike son. The transformation is permanent (meaning it is forever) and is completely irreversible. There should be quotes from the characters (from both Dylan and Lucifer Morningstar) in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking.
