Day 1 of bottom alastor week!

LORE ACCURATE SAMAEL <3

(Lucifer’s divine punishment senses Samael and it extended a bit to him but since he didn’t give the Apple yet it’s more benign but it does bring him to Hell stuck as a snake with limited powers.)

Samael was barely avoided being stomped, beaten, stabbed and chased by animal trafficers before finding a safe-ish area to try to hide.

Unbeknownst to him, his pursuers hesitated to follow because they were close to one of the Radio Demon’s territories. They decided to continue cause surely the Overlord wouldn’t care about them chasing a tiny snake.

They are later proven wrong when they managed to corner the snake and were greeting with a smiling shadow before everything went dark.

Alastor stepped out of the shadows and contemplated if any was worth to eat with his eye spotted a trembling white snake.

Samael was trembling because he is currently weak and whatever killed his pursuers should be worse.

To his surprise, the deer(?) creature cut up some meat from the bodies and proceeds to lay it out for him.

He saw the deer turn to leave and in a panic Samael rushed and quickly encircled their ankle. This was the only one who treated him nicely in this strange realm. He can’t let them go!

Alastor was surprised when he felt something wrap around his ankle. He looked down and saw it was the little snake holding onto him with surprising strength.

Alastor bent down and tried to gently unwrap the snake only for it to wrap around his wrist instead.

Alastor was intrigued. He had never witnessed this kind of behavior with wild snakes perhaps this was a domesticated one that was abandoned.

Alastor had always had a fondness for reptiles and he couldn’t simply abandon such an interesting specimen so he decided to that it home.

Unbeknownst to Alastor and Samael, that day was the first in Samael’s journey as Alastor’s pet.

Awwww. I like the idea of Alastor just walking around with a white snake around his neck and shoulders and occasionally feeding it bits of his victims, and Samael seeing this other universe - and that this is happening before Alastor went to the hotel, so Samael accompanies Alastor and meets this girl who looks sort of like him!

I want to see poor baby angel Samael see Hell and be so scared and distressed and then overhear Charlie's intro and think this is all HIS fault and see his future self and wow hes such a dick! But also - Alastor. Alastor, who is cruel and ruthless and sadistic - and kind. Who kills and tortures and eats people - and cares for Samael and who Samael loves and relies on.

In the canon complaint timeline Samael’s existence is hidden until he’s old enough to fight and lead his fathers legion. Fulgrim joins a battlefield hearing rumors of Sanguinius’ return and, well, the first meeting with his nephew ends up a little more traumatizing than expected.

Bonus: No motion blur

Double bonus: Post-battle aftermath
