Not long after humanity came into being, the archangel Michael led the angels into the famous War of the Angels against the fallen angels commanded by Lucifer. In the end, Lucifer declared, "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven," then plunged into the abyss with all the fallen angels. A thousand years later, Lucifer and Michael clashed once again. To prove who was the true ruler, they signed a pact with humanity as their wager.
