"I just wanted you to know, I lo-"
Roth woke up in a cold sweat. He looks around his room in confusion.
"That was a crazy dream." Roth says as he gets out of bed.
Roth stares out of his window and wonders what that dream could've been about. The holy light made his room bright while making his silhouette dark.
Roth is 8 years old. He is a commoner in Heaven. Even though he is an angel, his distinctions between other angels is huge. He has black hair which angels despise, grey wings, and grey eyes. He was the embodiment of what an angel shouldn't look like.
Despite all of this, he lived a comfortable life with his parents. His mom is very weak and fragile while his dad does multiple jobs and doesn't come home very often. Today was the first time the 2 of them went out of the house overnight.
Roth got up from his cloud when suddenly he hears someone calling his name.
"Roth! Roth! Are you there?" Screams a person outside.
Roth looks outside his window to see his one and only friend Angelica beaming towards him.
"Let's go to the palace today!" She said as she giggled.
Roth dressed into his normal clothes and went outside to greet Angelica.
"Hello!" Screamed Angelica.
"Hello." Roth said as he cringes from Angelica's screaming.
"The cloud pastry was in harvest this year! Let's go eat it!"
Angelica sped on ahead with Roth trailing behind her. They emerged from the clouds and the amazing Heaven Palace was glimmering in all of its fashion. Roth is always amazed whenever he sees this beautiful structure. The white steps that lead into the glistening cathedral as well as the pillars that hold it up. That with the holy light that shone above it made this place feel truly magical.
Angelica and Roth landed in front of the cathedral that was bustling with guests.
"I'll be back!" Angelica said as she goes into the cathedral.
As Roth was waiting for Angelica, he was getting many hateful looks from the people around him. He may be a an angel that has no qualities of a pure angel, but the prejudice and grandiosity of angels shoves Roth over to the side as a useless being seen by the public eye.
"He hangs around Princess Angelica too."
"He might corrupt her."
Roth was used to these words because he was an angel commoner and Angelica is next in line to be the Angel Queen. Ever since Angelica was young, she was forced to learn etiquette and the 10 commandments. She was always rebellious and would sneak out. One day while sneaking out, she bumped into Roth while he was with his mom and dad shopping. The 2 of them would secretly meet up until the current Angel Queen, GodRena, personally went out to find Angelica. She found her hanging around a commoner boy and she was furious. Angelica was banished from exiting the palace without permission, but this didn't stop Angelica from sneaking out to hang out with her commoner friend.
Roth thinks it's nice that Angelica hangs out with him, but she has to remember her position as one small mistake can affect the very future of Heaven.
After a few minutes of cold stares and dejecting remarks Angelica came back.
"Here ya go!" Angelica said with a bright smile on her face.
"Thank you." Roth said quietly.
Roth urges to Angelica that he doesn't want to be in this area so they quickly move.
Roth and Angelica head down towards the central plaza. They eat their cloud pastries when Angelica suddenly asks, "Do you wonder why Heaven is always bright?"
Roth sat there and thought about it. He never really thinks of this thing. There is no day-night cycle like what the humans have and it is bright all the time in heaven. The holy light mixed in with the sunlight which makes everything look vibrant.
"I have no clue." Roth said as he took a bite out of his cloud pastry. "But if I had to guess, maybe it's because our founding God watches over us with this light."
Angelica looked up towards the sky. She was glistening under the holy light. Her blonde hair paired along her green eyes made her look astonishing towards Roth, who tried to hide his blush.
"Maybe!" Angelica said with a smug smile.
Roth then looked up towards the sky.
"I wish days like these would never end." He said in his head.

"Lilith run!" Screamed Kylan.
Kylan and Lilith ran through the dark forest trying to escape pursuit from the angels. They were about to reach the keyhole but was suddenly blocked off by 3 angels. The 2 of them, shocked, had nowhere else to go. A figure flew down right behind them.
"Well well well, look what we have here." Said a man with a sinister smile.
