Prologue

I was born superior. I was born a god. I  am the god of Love. I was known as the Cupid of High Skies. From birth I was vested with a duty by my ancestors. The duty was to spread love and take it back if need be.

I would roam the skies with my bow in hand and quiver on my back, especially the human world. There were always hearts in need of healing there and even though I was told not to venture there, I never listened, I  mean when do gods ever listen.

One day, as I was carrying out my daily duties, I happened to stumble upon a broken and innocent heart. It's innocence touched me to the core and forcing me to follow it's cries down to the human world. To my unexpected surprise, the owner was a young and attractive human girl. She looked to be in her early fifteens with long brown hair. Upon closer inspection, she has light caramel skin, with beautiful green eyes, a Roman nose,

chubby little cheeks of youth and tiny pink baby lips. She looked so innocent  but that was not reflected on her face. All that there was there was excruciating pain. Now this tempted me to disobey my father's rule of not revealing myself to human. Then it clicked, I could just disguise myself as a human.

I approached her under the tree she was hiding behind and introduced myself. My aim was to access her heart and get rid of her pain. For the first time I stayed out late despite my sister's calls in my mind urging me to respond so she could find me and escort me home. I slowly but surely eased her pain and surprisingly she opened up to me which she admitted she hadn't done since the passing of her parents which I found to be dreadful considering how I had watched my mother die before my own eyes.

Later that night, I had to leave but I promised her that I would return to see her again. As I left her house, I felt the presence of celestials nearby. Upon proper investigation I realized that my brothers had been watching me. I doubted at first but after seeing the Legions flying back home to Krodelia, I was certain it was them. I knew they had seen me in disguise and I knew they would tell our father about it. Not that I cared, but my father's disappointment in me seemed to always hit a little close to home despite his permission allowing me to do as I pleased.

My brothers were always watching and criticizing everything I did out of hatred for me. My sister on the other had was different and always treated me like a big baby. My father's more focused love on my sister and I was what created the gap between my sister and I and my brothers.

One day, I left home to go and see my human friend back on earth who had driven me crazy and I was pretty sure I was having human feelings for despite my seeing her only once. As I was flying down, I saw two creatures following me. They caught up to me and to my unexpected surprise, it was my brothers. Romeo, my eldest brother was carrying my blade, Arc. Arc is the only blade that can cut through my flesh. Luka my second eldest brother held my wings from behind me and Romeo cut them off. I screamed in agony as I fell. Imagine your skin being peeled off you while you're still conscious, that is what losing my wings felt like.

I fell down to the human world faster than a shooting star and landed in the middle of no where. Soon after that, the prophecy that my father had told me about in secret covered the sky.  A huge dark cloud covered the sky and through it the rays of the sun penetrated the words "SHE WHO POSSESSES TRUE LOVE SHALL FALL BY THE BLADE OF ARC"

In that moment, the words that the Oracle of Delphi had said to me rang in my mind "Blood shall betray blood, but only by blood shall love return, for only then shall you meet your other half.

I lied there with my bow in one hand and no quiver, unable to move and I felt the markings form on my skin. Proof that I was a Fallen. I heard human machines move towards me and as they came down to me in my crater, I tried to defend myself but then I got poisoned and I died as a Cupid. My Celestial life ended and my life as a human began.
