Devils like semi gods are gods transformed to make evil sweet
Demigods are higher but all three supreme fall- Leon
gods; we control and make
but we so well birth evil,
are we then devils?- Jenni
No such thing! no such thing! No such thing! As small gods and semi-devils

But deception! deception! To think mediocre streams sweet!- OracLe
See me not as a god i’m still human.
Same one you left for Simi. Acts? I’ve seen worse.

Trinkets of gold, fame and a glowing throne; small,
promises of highs and lows, shadows with cape-horned eyes
they all rot in the same room as furnished as hell; humans-Rudolph

Asmodeus,Satan,Serpent,Shaitan,Voland are gods and devils.
Small gods and semi devils you and I are.-Bangwan.
God stunted in stature yet arrayed in pristine divinity
Devils of small sizes yet grand in wrecking havoc
Humanity, a clay tent of chaos, the alter of the two extremes- Desmond

She rent her clothes in mourning for prophecy was being fulfilled
The end had just been born- small gods and semi devils: her offspring –
