CHAPTER 2 A Strange Encounter

DANIEL( underworld)

A power rushed through my veins, power like that I had never been able to achieve by training, that power was the power of the Lord of Hell, the Devil. A flap of my wings sent shivers down the great demonic realm.

And as I flew down to the place where my father's second in command, generals were standing. I slaughtered them with a single strike of the razor-sharp claws that had shot out of my fingers.

As I killed the strongest of demons, and beasts, black tattoos appeared on my body. At first, I didn't realize what was being marked upon my skin but as I took the lives of these creatures, their names appeared on my body, in such a language that only I the killer, could understand.

Finally, as I was about to reach the castle where the Monsters were guarding their King, Devion; A intoxicating pain shot through my head like a bullet. Then I heard, a voice, the voice that I had as a child, my mother's sweet voice.

She said: "Dear Son, no matter how much strength you gain, you simply cannot kill Devion. Only the true heir of Angelina, her blood, can slay the Demon Ruler."

Anger rushed through my blood, as I shouted"WHY? Why can't I fulfill my destiny?"

My mother replied: "Slaying the Demon Ruler was never your destiny, neither mine, but it was the path that only Angelina's blood can follow".

I wanted to die, so the reason for my existence was something that only an Angel could fulfill.

The voice continued:" You must lose hope, and it is your true purpose to protect and prepare the daughter of Angelina, even if it costs you your life. Now go and find the girl named" Viviane" and remember the fate of the Universe lies in your hands."

VIVIANE:(Human Realm)

That night when I was all alone, with no one to hold onto me, no one to help me through the night, I walked to the balcony and gazed up at the stars, wondering only if a miracle would happen and my pain and suffering would all go away.

Then as I spoke to the stars, I heard a voice saying: "My dear, the easiest end to your suffering is an end to your existence".

If I was going to take my life away would my suffering end? I asked myself and then asked the very same question from the mysteriously majestic voice. And the answer was:" Indeed if you no longer live in this world only then will you achieve the peace that you have been longing for for a great time."

Yes, the voice was right if I ended my purposeless existence then I would be reunited with the happiness that I craved so much. As the wind made my hair flow and my nightgown so light, and as I stepped on the cold marble floor, walking towards true happiness.

A few seconds later I was standing on the top of the balcony's fence. I closed my eyes and surprisingly my body didn't hesitate as I threw myself off the balcony.
