I'm bracing myself as a source of heat draws closer and closer to my body, my wings covering me as well. I'm suddenly tackled to the side, and I let out a short yelp, flying to the side as a sudden heated blast skims my arm. I look back to see the whole back side of the hotel destroyed from that attack, my eyes almost out of its sockets. There was no way I would have survived that blast; it caused so much damage, that the building that took the hit instead was already crumbling to pieces. The angel flapped its wings, its giant eye looking for me. Then the other eyes opened as well, and I could feel my heart stop again as they landed on me. "Josie, you have to fly now! I need both hands to open a portal out of here!" Loss shouted, as he cursed at the sight of the angel. I did as I was told, flying next to him as smoke came all around us, covering us from view. "You cannot hide from the wrongdoings of which you caused. The threat must be taken out, so say
The skies have turned into a dark gray, and when the earth cracks open, flames lick the sides of broken ground. A platform made of brimstone, and smell of salt emerges from the ground, the earth trambling at what it's birthed. I must look crazy, or crazy cool, as I sit on the throne made for me. It's made of the bones of the damned, and I grin, flashing the terrified humans a scary smile. Loss is on one side of me, Amon on the other. The replacement leader of Sorren, Roxas, stands behind the throne, facing towards the the crowd, laughing like a maniac at them. I fight an eyeroll, knowing he's doing too much. One of the reasons that the sky has blackened is the wings of the fallen angels, and Nephilim flapped, looking like crows ahd overtaken the skies. Demons waited for my order, as the desire to run chaos ran high. They extend long forked tongues at the humans, licking their lips. I feel their hunger as my own, and my eyes change color, my body preparing to at
The angel dove for me, silently screaming into my mind, and I readied my blade, showing no fear. And there was none; if I could take this angel down, we would win. The War Angel barreled to me, ignoring anyone else, and I did the same. This was my one and only target, and I grabbed my blade just as it's eye began to glow. Wasting no time, I flung it as hard as I could, and it screeched out in pain, the blade meeting it's mark, and sticking smack dab in the center of the pupil. I watched in glee, as the sword began to turn smoky, entering into the cracks it left of the War Angel. The white light of the angel began to dim, turning into a smoky gray lighting, the whiteness turning into a coal black. Even it's feathered wings turned bat-like, the iris of the eyes once ocean blue, and now a crimson blood red color. I had done it. The angel was now under my control, and I was its master. No longer was it a War Angel, now it was a War Demon. I flew over to it, la
My cage is like a glass box, and I pace, my hands blackened from attempting to break out. I've had no word from anyone, and Loss is currently in Heaven, trying to break down the gates. Through my pacing, I can see the black flames burning bright, and if I keep looking, I'll go blind. Lucifer only stepped into my cage once, not saying anything, but looking at me, as if I had secrets he was trying to unravel. I stared back, and then he was back out of the door, hearing the click of a lock sliding back in place. I have no idea what they're going to do to me. The waiting is what's killing me, and I can feel my stomach sink in like I swallowed stones. My wings drape behind me, useless, and I continue to pace. I have no sense of time down here, so I could be here for hours or days, but one day, the door slams open, and Satan steps in, followed by Lucifer behind him. They're giving me cold looks, and shivers run up and down my spine. I don't let them see that I'm afra
They seem to hold me in the building that doesn't exist, Lucifer and Satan invested on the war that's going on. When they ignore my pacing, I stand off behind them, watching the battle rage on in Heaven. Now and then, Lucifer pays attention to me, and it's the kind where I feel brainwashed by his beauty. A sort of forced craving comes upon me, as I wonder what he'd look like out of clothes. Probably brighter than any star or sun created. I inwardly curse myself and go back to pacing, planning and overthinking. And occasionly looking at the black slab, as the battle continues. Loss is what catches my eye the most; he's like his own army, moving fast, and cutting through weapons that are made of heavenly divine weapons while he uses devilcrafted swords and so forth. I catch myself more than once admiring the bulge of his biceps as his body tenses and then braces itself against the opponents attacks, how one swipe of a sword shreds his shirt, and I can see
They wasted no time, opening a portal underneath us, and the sensation of falling hit me. We landed in Heaven, and I caught myself, trying not to bash my face in. As I righted myself, I saw Lucifer, Satan, and the Devil rush at the silver gates. Loss was instantly by my side, and he pulled me into a tight hug. I yelped, as my damaged wing was moved. He let me go, straightening it out before I could react, and my nails dug into his arms, my teeth clenched hard together. You started this. Everyone froze as the ground shook, the voice so deep, it couldn't be heard with our ears, but be precieved with our minds. A hand of light and stars appeared, and my vision swam as it reached down and grabbed me. Loss jumped in between us, but it scorched his mid-section, and he cried out before dropping to the ground. "LOSS!" I screamed, trying to reach out for him, but the hand is grabbing me, and I'm being pulled away, the gates closing as I'm pulled inside. I catch t
Loss's POVLoss gasped out, almost head-butting Lucifer, as he felt like he had been shoved off a cliff. He didn't know where he was at nor did he care; he had to find a way to help Josie. As he moved, pain sparked in his chest area, and he clenched his teeth. Lucifer pushed him back down on the soft mattress, steadying Loss. "Easy there speedy. You can't just be moving around all willy-nilly. You were struck by God's Holiness. You're going to need time to recover from that." Lucifer said, as he backed up and a girl stepped forward, rubbing a thick salve like substance on his wound. Loss flinched, but relaxed as a cold numbness rushed over him, and he laid back down. "We have to save Josie." Loss said, feeling a sense of drowsiness come over him. Lucifer arched an eyebrow, but said nothing as he stepped out of the way of the girl. "About that, we have no idea where God could have taken her. Satan thinks that like Hell, Heaven might have a circle of Divine no o
I sit waiting again, and draw circles on the floor. I've grown use to the shocks, and my body barely flinches at them now. Heavy footsteps shake the ground the way an earthquake would, and I peer up, feeling nerves and fear sharpen my eyesight. It's who I think it is, and the stars making his existence seem more peacful than he is. You are strange one. Possibly one of my creations, but there's something different about you from the others. Something that I can't quite place. I didn't know what to say; imagine having the almighty God question if he made you or not. He reaches in, plucking me back in his hand. I don't struggle to be freed, as I know it's no point. His touch is icy cold; for some reason I thought he would be warmer. And God is a giant-giant; I can't see his face due to the clouds always covering it. God walks along the mirror waters, the fog smelling like honeysuckle. Despite being in here for I don't even know how long, I still don't know w
Everything feels off as I gaze at the demons that had tried to revive us back to life. My body has no aches and it feels like I've taken a long nap. Grogginess overcomes me, and I rub my eyes. Loss sits up looking down at himself, and then runs over to where I am, placing his hands on my face, and turning me this way and that. I slap his hands away, and he smiles, kissing both of my cheeks. "How do you feel?" Lucifer asks warily, dismissing the other demons. They bow, and disperse from the area. "I feel fine." I say, opening my hands and then closing them. "It's like sleep was all we needed to heal." Loss says, moving his arms up and down, as he stretches. "Well, something like that." Lucifer says, as he holds out the coin of Enoch, hand trembling. "This coin was activated by I don't know what, and then symbols appeared and settled over the both of you." We both stared at him as if he was crazy, but he sighed, handing the coin off to Loss. "I
The demons carry the bodies of Loss and Josie as they enter them into healing side of the castle, pressing hellfire stones on to their wound and skin. Their color is changing though at a quicker speed, looking more ash colored than anything. "The stones aren't working." one demon tells Lucifer, and he glares at the Enoch coin in his palm, a faint glow coming from it. "Those angels never know what's going on." Lucifer muttered, clenching the coin in his hand, as he ordered the other demons to bring in more hellstones, and to place it on all of the exposed skin they could. The demons nodded, placing them all over Loss, and Josie, and there was only a slight change in their ashy color. What are we going to do, Lucifer thought, these two were the only ones who had a chance to stop Asherah. Loss twitched in his sleep, his breathing becoming more labored. One demon placed his fingers just under his nostrils, trying to see if he could feel the
They barrel towards me, and I spring up, my wings helping me dodge their so many hands. I concentrate on not getting taken, zig-zagging from one place to the other. Loss is fighting them off, blinking from one spot to the next, his weapon glowing black like midnight. The sword cuts the creatures in half, or they lose a limb, black flames engulfing them. Something latches on my back then, and I cry out, fingers wrapping around my throat as I'm dragged down. Nonononono More hands grab my arms and legs in place, as they yank me down. Loss is in front of me, slicing the arms off of me. He grabs me, and I grip on the coin tightly. The limbs of the creatures twitch as the black flames eat them away. I close my eyes, and take a deep breath, letting the demon of me awaken. My wings are bigger, and the scales on my skin shine like a polished snake's. I look around, my eyesight now one of accurate aura reading. I glare and target them two at a time, ripping out their throats with my claw
The things crawl out of the destroyed remains of the cabin, it's one eye blinking as it tries to sniff me and Loss out. I can feel my body freeze in place in shock, having never seen whatever this was. Loss curses, and I struggle to be freed of his arms, as I don't want to weigh him down. But Loss holds on, and flies forward, the thing screeching behind us. I steal a glance, seeing how extra limbs appear then disappear to help with it's movements, it's neck stretching like an iguana's tongue, the bulbous head shifting from side to side from the weight of the head, and the weak support of the neck. The skin of the creature is grayed and peeling, crakcs showing around the nostrils, and eyes, long teeth looking like splintered wood. Shivers rushed through me as it locked eyes with me, beady red eyes staring me down. "Loss let me go." I whispered, and Loss blinks us out of existence, the familiar crackle of flames surrounding us making the location known.We're back in hell.We place
God is gone. Sealed away into a different part of the universe. But Asherah has escaped. And she is free. She knows exactly what she wants to do. We're up in the air, our wings tangled as we spin in slow circles. Loss has me against his bare chest, his warmth intermingling with my own. Music doesn't play, yet we continue to sway, and Loss kisses my temple, running a hand through my hair. I smile softly, leaning up to kiss his lips, and his arms around my waist tighten. Since the whole sealing-the-gods-away issue passed, it was just nothing but peace. The humans continuesd to worship their God, normalcy returned on earth. As thunder sounded, Loss looked into the distance. I wondered what he saw, or what he was thinking as his body tensed, and he held me away from the sky for a bit. "Loss." I said, cupping his face so he would look at me. He looked down, eyes tensed, mouth turned down. "It's okay. It's over." His gaze softens, and he presses h
There is a staircase that leads the upper world to the underworld. It's different, it's something that both demons and angels use. A truce was drawn up by Lucifer and the leader of the angels, though I'm not really sure of it. Loss and I spend our time on earth, glamoured as humans. I don't try to go back to my old life, cutting my ties with my adoptive family. Although it hurt, I made sure to erase the memories of me from them as well. Loss was there, a hand placed between my shoulder blades. His touch was always welcomed, bringing comfort. Since we returned back to earth from the hidden realm in heaven, things were different. I was more aware of him, and he was more alert of me in case there was danger ready to start again. I noticed that the burnt marks on his chest, and upper stomach were healed over, just the smallest of scars covering it. We go wherever we want, not hearing from Lucifer as much. He's busy working on the truce not just between the angels and d
The earth is running down as climate changes happen everywhere. In some places, the sun goes down, and never sets bak up, in other places the sun staying up to the point where no one knows what day it is. Ocean waves flood into the land, drowning land creautres and humans alike. The earth has cracked in certain areas, lave spilling free, and moving at a snail's pace, yet it still moves. Fear is strong, as the humans wait and cry out for someone to save them.Josie's POVWe look to Asherah, who has a blank expression on her face. She turns to the both of us, opening up a portal. "Time to go." she says, and before we can say anything, a crash hits hard, and the temple finally breaks down. Asherah tries not to feel effected by her last remaining temple that has existed is gone, but I can see tears build up. I have no words, and I grab Loss by his hand, pulling him forward. "I didnot SAY either of you could leave!" The portal snaps shut, and just like th
He didn't see her coming. Didn't know that the lower being would actually do it. Since the creature wasn't made by him, he couldn't make her see reason; she was defiant, justified, and stubborn. Just like his wife. When the grounds shook, and her temple was dusted by ash, God held his breath. And sure enough, there she was. The statue that he had never seen rising up from the ground, and then moving. Even from the distance, he could see her beauty. The same woman he had fallen in love with. She looked like she hadn't aged a day, the same glow she had that always surrounded her when she walked anywhere. When God had first seen her, he knew she was the one. He was right, but oh how she challenged him. Asherah had so many ideas, and so many creatures she wanted to try her hand at that just didn't match the idea in God's head. And though she was more into creating the plant life, and such, it was when she created some human life that God had put his foot down.
The temple of Ash is quiet as I sit in the middle. I am alone for the first time, my hands flat on the floor, my eyes closed. I've been sitting here waiting for something to happen. God hasn't returned back from wherever he went, and his wife has stayed silent since telling me that I could choose or not to drip my blood in her temple, and let her rise again. The choice was mine. I had alot of questions, but I didn't think that she would have the answers. I wanted to ask God why he was trying to bring her back. Would he bring back her temples, her place of worship? What was he thinking? I murmured some curse words, running my hands through my hair. It was getting tiresome not knowing what to do. Or having the ability to do something but not know if what I was doing was right or not. I stared down at my hands and wished Loss was here. I remember the first night I had been here, he had entered my body with his soul, assuring me that everything was going to be
