“Ouch! Could you stop already ? I'll just have uncle Rapha tends to them once we are back at the camp. Sigh... I swear you are impossible. But if it makes you feel better than just do it but please be gentle.”

“Rose.... I don't get it why did you do it? You could have let them be. So why did you help them ? I mean, since you're against....against fighting side by side with the demons?”

“How could I not be? But I guess I might have to accept it since it seems like it's our only chance for now. Sigh...”

“You know what I don't get Emily?”

“What Emma? Ugh... Rosemary Cipriano! Stay still already!”

“Ok ! Ok ! Sheesh.....”

“Hahaha.... Well I, for one, don't understand how our dear Rosemary ended up with such injuries. Maybe you could enlighten us Rose?”

“Ehem.... Well I suppose I have no no other choice now, do I?”

“No!”

“No!”

Oh, how I would love to be able to just spend the rest of our eternal lives like this. Just us, our future families, all happy with no wars to worry about. Not having to worry about who will have to go tomorrow and not having to worry if your parents will come back home alive, but for a future like that sacrifices need to be made, no matter what I have to stop this war as soon as possible.... even if I'll end up dead at least I'll die knowing that everyone is safe. First things first I'll make sure that between Paradise and Hell peace will rule for eternity, but I guess after what happened the last few days it will take a while and even though it won't be easy it will still happen in the future I will personally make sure of it.

“Well as you both know I went to Hell, literary no pun intended, in order to talk with Lucifer and his dear Council.... still maybe next time I should announce myself before I actually intrude in their home.”

“Well you should 'cause I don't want to see you injured again. Got it?”

“Yes! As you wish my lady!”

“Hahaha! Do you find this funny? If so, I might also find funny the fact that I can tie this bandages very tight without a care.”

“No no no! Uhhhh ... please don't? Please?”

“I'll think about it.”

*A few hours ago*

Emily and Emma are busy with their paperwork And I'm heading of to Hell. Since Lucifer might have a clue about what I'm looking for. I mean since he's the first angel created by God he has to know, right? Right!?!?!?

Well questions aside, I really have a bad felling right now. I wonder why?

Oh well, now what matters most is how I'm going to make my entrance. Hmm, mm ... Maybe I should fly through one of their closed windows, I mean that's got to be one Hell of an entrance, right?

Still ... If I'll do it I'll only get lots of cuts and Emily and Emma will get worried in the end ... maybe I could blame it on nephilims? Nah. It won't work. Anyways, I'll come up with an excuse later on and if not I'll just tell them a little of the truth.

“Now then. Let's see what we have here! Hmm, mm..... They are having lunch, so I guess now it would be a good time to make a great entrance for myself. “

But what do we have here. Who are those three? Still by the looks of it on their robes maybe they are the strategists? I mean we never actually had to meet with their strategists, so their powers are unknown.

“Consequences be damned!”

(Glass shattering)

Flap-Flap

“The He”

“What in the seven Hells?”

“Who actually dares to intrude?”

“Well, I can't actually say that it went well, but it's way better than I expected... I guess....”

“Hey kiddo! You have quite the nerve to come here and disturb us out of all the demons here in Hell! I wonder what punishment would suit yo-”

“Nah. Thanks but no, thanks, you see...(Chair being dragged) I'm here to talk with you.”

“... Did the kid hit her head when she crashed through the glass?”

“Who knows but let's hear what she has to say if she wants to talk so much with us that she couldn't wait for us to finish eating!”

“Good. If I have your attention then I shall start. But from where ...”

“From the beginning?”

“I can't say that the beginning it's actually necessary. Hmm ... I know let's do it this way :

From what I gathered about the nephilims they started this war, but they never said what was the reason at the beginning, but now they suddenly want to have us all killed. There has to be a reason behind it or more or less someone controlling them soon-”

“Get to the point kiddo before you piss us of more than you already did!”

“Shut up and let me finish! Where was I? Oh! Yes. So if we could actually track them we may find a way to where they are all hiding, or we may find traces of their leader or leaders. And yes, I know that you all tried to but have you tried to actually control a nephilim to the point where you can control him 24/7 so that you can end up as a mere shadow in his or her mind, and then you will be able to manipulate him/her as much as you'll like.”

“And how do you know that kiddo? And if you have known about this for sometime, why haven't you told us anything? Hmm?”

“Asmodeus calm down and let her talk!”

“Calm down Kephu? She has had the answer to possibly end this damned war, and she hasn't even bother-”

“Who are you to judge me? You think I haven't tried? I have! But no one listened to me " How could you know? “ Or " Don't be a fool! “ that's just two answers I have heard all the time when I tried. They put me in the position of head strategist, but they won't even listen to me! I wonder why do I even bother anymore... when no one is willing to listen to me. Except for a few people but all they said that it's a risk they don't wish to take even if I said I'll do it...”

“Risk? What risk?”

“The one who is willing to do it will-”

“And why the Hell have you not come to us sooner?”

“Well when you actually will come and take my place to deal with Michael and Gabriel then I will, ok?”

“HMP... Now about the risk?”

“Yes. The risk...”

Let's finish eating, so we can talk already!”“Very well.”Seriously, the dude is annoying, but the other one was a complete idiot. Well.... you might be wondering how they look like, right?Hmm, mm.... Let's see. Asmodeus has light blonde hair with the tips dyed white. He's dressed like every single person I've seen so far, in the Victorian style but more black and white, I mean he kind of looks like Yin and Yang decided to paint his clothes today. Still, what's really intriguing about him are his eyes. They are golden but with a blue hue in the middle. They look enchanting and mesmerizing. Guess that's why every girl or woman wants to be with him.Lucifer has blonde-platinum hair, like every other demon he is dressed in the Victorian style, but his eyes are another thing. Stormy gray eyes, what a coincidence.I wonder, just how do they take care of thems

She had it coming!”“How can you say that?”“If you had had paid attention around you last week when we were in the forest you would know that she was fooling around with the red-headed one on her right side and two days ago when you sent me to look for your healing flower she was fooling with the bald one. Soooooo.... she kind of had it coming, plus, I for one have no intention in saving a half-breed who only knows how to fool around and create trouble.”“But still, it's not going to end well-”“And what do you want me to do?

  • The Queen of The Half-Breeds    Chapter 10: I am slowly losing myself

    I can't believe they had the nerve to actually comment. These idiots don't even care about training, and yet they still have guts to bring up the past! If they think that I'll let of after this then they are crazy, because I've had enough of them and I won't stand any longer for their nonsense. Maybe Lucifer was right. It won't take long before I leave this place once and for all.He's right about another thing as well, other than the residents of Hell no one will accept me, because I'm different, and yet they won't tell me why. Still, I know why. It's because I'm a half-breed. And one of a kind. Gabriel with Raphael and aunt Evelyn might think I don't know the truth, but I do, I know that Gabriel isn't my biological father. That may be the reason why he changed so much after mothers death, yet that's no reason to act like he did, and he does. It is my fault for following her to the battlefield, and I'll never forgive myself for it. But I'll never forgive him for allowing mom

    "It wasn't exactly easy, and what I meant by saying that was that everyone hated me to the point where they were jealous of me and my talent. Sometimes they pulled pranks on me, they tried to injure me and make it hard for me knowing that I wasn't the type to retaliate, so they took it for granted until Lucifer stopped them with the rest of his friends, well our friends now.""That's...""Not nice?""I wanted to say cruel." I really looked into his cat-like eyes and I swear that for a few seconds I could see the pain and the fondness at the mention of his friends. I remember that while I stayed with the Holy Strategists I learned of their friendship, and how much they did for Heaven. And now, standing before him for a few minutes, I let my walls put up against fallen angels down. I let myself feel what I did before. I felt admiration for them, I felt that nothing I did would be enough to prove that I can reach the top like they did, and so I gave up. During the years I only

Well, I would have felt better if someone didn't wake me up!”“I warned them, but they didn't want to listen!”“Maybe, once they experience the same punishment as those who dared to wake me up without a reason, then they will learn to be quiet when told to be so.”“A good idea my dear. Then-”“Wait wait wait! What does this “punishment” is supposed to mean?”“It's very simple. Since a lot of people used to be noisy in the early morning or late at night when they knew that those who switched places for patrol were resting, but didn't care that those poor people were tired, Rosemary came up with a good enough punishment to teach them a

If something is to happen to her, then Hell won't be able to stand due to my anger.Abigor, Toth and Kephu are looking at me with frustrated and tired expressions. Something is definitely wrong since they aren't able to keep the cool act.“Look Luce, maybe you should take a seat and listen to what they have to say without being on the verge of destroying the palaces with us within it.”“Amon is right Lucifer!

    Inside the room, behind the beautiful carved door, lays a room with walls and ceiling colored in a pale royal blue with a touch of aquamarine and turquoise.The furniture, made from the same wood and as the door, oak wood, has beautiful carvings of roses and a slight touch of gold to make the outlines be seen.This kind of furniture actually reminds me of the 19th century.The bed, made of rosewood but painted in a beautiful dark brown with specks of red hue, has pillars in order to support the beautiful royal blue curtains with intricate design of lines and... what a surprise, roses.On either side of the bed, there are two statues of cats that serve as nightstands.From what I can tell due to one of the curtains which was left lifted, Leviathan was in a pajama exactly like mine, but unlike me, he looks to be in pain.I looked at the walls and found what I was looking for. A window, with its curtains closed. So I went and opened them

We aren't sure what is happening, but we are trying.”“I want to see him!”“You are in no condition to be able to walk around!”“Then carry me! I have to see him Lucifer! I know that I can help him. Furthermore, I know what's going on...

The least I can do is help him come out of the dream prison.Funny as it sounds, it can be deadly. So you have to be fast in helping the one/ones caught in it or, once it's too late, you might as well say goodbye.“The moment I'll see that you can'

I've hurt enough people. I have enough blood on my hands to the point that I'm slowly stating to hate myself. I know that I have to keep myself calm, but the scene before me isn't helping.Emily and Emma are huddled in a corner while Amon is uncouncious, Mammon and Asmodeus are restrained and Leviathan... Well... He is being whipped. I can tell that the whip is coated in sacred water, sacred water which those things shouldn't even be able to gaze about, let's not even mention touch, but here they are, coating two whips in sacred water and whipping the fallen angel like there is no tomorrow. And unfortunately, if we won't stop them soon, Leviathan might not even catch the end of today.Something needs to be done, but what? I know for a fact that I won't be able to get to him unle
