Alastor Can't Keep Up
Alastor was tired. He’d been pushing himself a lot recently. He’s been running himself thin for a long time trying to keep up with the king of Hell. Lucifer was continuously trying to outdo him at every turn and it had Alastor working double time to try to stay one step ahead of him. When your opponent just so happens to be the most powerful being in hell, however, you find out quickly that you aren’t going to be able to stay one step ahead of him forever.
