it is said the greatest trick of the devil was to convince mankind he does not exist! However there are those that believe he was cast down from heaven by the archangel Michael, this is partly true for there is an older legend that only a few have heard. I stumbled across it late one night playing follow the link on the World Wide Web.
It is said that when Lucifer met Michael at the gate to the throne of the true and living God most high. That lucifer demand an audience with his grace. Michael replied that he could not stop a request from anyone who required an audience with God. But as Michael stepped to one side he grabbed lucifer’s arm and warned he should tread with caution as any one who ascends the stairway of heaven must be of humble approach and carry the grain.
His arrogance was such that he snorted at his brother angel. With malice in his mind and heart he raised up the steps to deliver his objections to the almighty. As he reached the ninth step he heard a noise, turning he saw a large duck kind of like a malard but completely black save for a patch of yellow across the cold black eyes. The duck coughed once more covering its beak with a wing then in a high pitched whine voice, “‘ave u dee grain?”
“What?”
“I said you goated footed moron have you the grain?”
Taken slightly back by the duck’s attitude lucifer replied ” look you talking duvet , no I have no grain and I am to busy to talk to feather brain like you, now flap of whilst I talk to the Boss.”
With that he made his way to the tenth step, when he had shooting pain running up his spin, turn he saw glad of black as feathers hit his neck then a beak to his hoof and wing across the face the next feeling lucifer had was falling.
When lucifer finally stopped falling he found he had been banished from heaven , when a demon asked he claimed and blamed Michael. As he was so embarrassed for being thwarted by a duck.
So my brother is the tail of the Great Duck Ninja
