Sanctus Peccatores

Prolouge

Humanity has not yet grasped the true meaning of life; what their purpose in this universe is. Honestly, even the eldest of my kind fully don't understand why they were brought into being by Him. When I had encountered the first fully developed human, she was only minutes from death and she was frantic to live as now she knew what she was born to do. Sadly, we did our best to find out what her purpose is, but we couldn't prevent the end to the woman's meager life span.

They believe praying for forgiveness to Him would save them, or help them in life or to find love. Foolish beings. Our species know why were alive; our purpose is to play the role of Him, but each family is given a certain aspect of life we govern and conduct on Sanctus Peccatores, otherwise known as Earth. There are of course minor and major aspects, and the more prominent in a human's life are regarded with social ranking. Our hierarchy is a monarchy, usually the two most important of aspects in Earth wed together to become the next in line for the Crown; Life, and Death.

Only the eldest child possesses the greatest hold on the Aspect they rule, the younger ones have none. Once the eldest comes of Age, they must pass the Final Judgement before being awarded the title they deserve; If they controlled the Aspect of Death, they could be addressed as Reaper or if in Royalty, they just add the word Royal before their title. Such as the current King, Royal Reaper Xavier III. The Final Judgement is three tests, each that take about a week each. It is different for each aspect, but the basics are all the same; first hand-to-hand combat using your aspect, second is a mental challenge to see if your body would be able to accept the power, and the third is to be judged by an Aeon to see if pure of heart.

In my kind, we each have someone special created to live by our sides, but we rarely find them among our own people. They tend to find their other half on Sanctus Peccatores: it doesn't mean their human. Demons, Lycans, Werewolves, Greek Gods, Vampires, Sirens, Witches, they all exist. They know we exist, so they try and hope that they would find their soul mate among the most powerful of our kind. But not everyone in my Society wish to be bound to another being from a lesser species, so they marry to others in our community, forging a new bond with a stranger, so that the lesser being is given a different soul mate.

We mainly live in gaseous forms, not in Sanctus Peccatores, but in Afterlife. This is the final destination for the lesser forms after they pass, whereas we are immortal. If we have not yet reached eighteen, we live in humanoid bodies, with a more fluxing aura. If we were mated to a human, we could change them into a Halfling to become somewhat immortal, but they could only be killed from a weapon made from all five elements; Water, Air, Earth, Fire, and Spirit. The fifth element courses through everything that Lives, but it is not able to be held, smelt, there is virtually no trace of it.

I realised I haven't even introduced myself. I am Adela Anastasia Death, I bare no surname as I am the only of my Kind to be with this name, I simply use my aspect as my surname. I am the eldest child of the Family of Reapers, the heir to the title of both Reaper and Queen. In just two days I take the Final Judgement and then I take my place as Death.

You are probably wondering what my Kind is called, and with great respect I tell you, we are known to humans as Angels. We do hold the characteristics; unnatural beauty, angelic tendencies, we don't all have wings though. Only the Aeons and Archei have them; Archangels that actually communicate with Him. Seven Aeons (Males) and seven Archei (Females) are chosen once the previous Aeons and Archei are called into Afterlife. The Archei are essentially just the feminine version of the Aeons, like the best example is Michael and Michaela. She is the same as him, but is of course the channel of feminism in his characteristics. These beings are in charge of the seven Aspects that mean the most to humans; Life, Death, Love, Despair, Independence, Pride, and Morality. The eldest of each aspect would essentially be the second in command, usually the upper class Aspects become the next Aeon or Archei.

An oracle is chosen on the day of the Final Judgement, after all the people of Age complete it. This happens every ten thousand years, as the Oracle is precious to Him, and is the only one that is able to actually pass through realms without any danger. This year, on the Final Judgement, is the next chosen day that the Oracle will be created. Simply, you receive a sleeve of markings, it differs for each gender. Mainly for women, it is of a mirror and roses, and for men it seems like a sleeve of tribal markings that run up onto their shoulder blade and chest.

I believe I must go, I have had many training sessions with my father recently, and he has summoned me for another. I bid you farewell, and until next time.
