[The question causes the angel to pause, shifting in his seat to be more upright, wings opening and closing again to accommodate the shift. When he speaks it is slow, philosophical, because this is something Lucifer thinks about often.]
You still imagine changing is somehow different because you were once human. [Another pause comes, Lucifer's eyes shifting toward the window.]
We could just as easily ask, "how does a celestial angel who has been created with single minded focus on one entity and duty become something other, something free of all imposition and limits?" Starting as a human is irrelevant, because any point can be the beginning state for great upheaval of self.
[That last question gets a full, bright laugh from Lucifer. The question a was inherently ridiculous to ask given the circumstances. Still he addresses it seriously, though his voice is full of mirth. ] I am on a trajectory to kill God Himself. The source of the limitation matters little, and anyone wise knows better than to become a limitation. When you limit others you become a target for someone, eventually, who will see the strength to stab you in the back. This is a lesson my limitation has refused to learn for billions of years.
[Lucifer rarely limited others because he knew the hate, first hand, that came to those oppressed. This thought had driven so much, even how Chaos itself was governed.]
